Question

Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns—and, therefore, temporary results. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are five ways to make that happen.

Take exercise.   1.   . Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

   2.   One reason people get less exercise these days is that they spend too much time watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.

Watch out for unhealthy drinks. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.   3.    

Eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.   4.    And when you fill up on friuts and vegetables, you’re less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.

  5.   People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.

A. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles.

B. So go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.

C. They’ve also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up.

D. Don’t skip breakfast.

E. Share your breakfast with others.

F. It is bad for your eyes to spend too much time watching TV.

G. Reduce screen time.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 

1.A

2.G

3.B

4.C

5.D

【解析】

試題分析：文章介紹了同情心在過去的這些年里面在急劇的下降，同時也說明了下降的原因。同情心也是每個人所應該具備的素質之一，是工作取得成功的一個因素。文章也告訴我們應該怎樣培養(yǎng)同情心。

1.A中心句概括。Take exercise 意為要做運動。橫線后還要增加活動的量。所以答案應為A，意思為：有規(guī)律的鍛煉可以燃燒你的熱量增強你的肌肉。

2.G段落概括。下文的意思是：人們減少活動的主要原因是他們把大多數(shù)的時間花費在了看電視，玩電腦，玩游戲。所以答案應為G，意為減少面對屏幕的時間。

3.B總結上文。Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.       意思為：增肥的另外一個關健因素是更多的人喝含糖的飲料，比如碳酸飲料，果汁飲料和運動飲料等。故下文應是B，意為：因此要喝水或者是低脂肪牛奶用來代替碳酸飲料。

4.C上下文聯(lián)系題。段落的意思是，每天都要吃蔬菜和水果，它們里面不僅僅是維生素和礦物質，還有大量的纖維，可以使你充裕起來。故答案應為C。

5.D引起下文。People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.句意為：不吃早餐的人通常感覺更餓，以致于后來吃得更多，因此他們會得到更多的熱量。

【考點】考查上下文的聯(lián)系。
