13.How many of your New Year's resolution(決定) start out with"I want to lose x amount of pounds"as if just saying it were some kind of magic mantra(咒語).As if the weight would just fall off,in response to the spoken words!
Why do we not want to pay the price for anything?Gaining weight is not an overnight effect and it will NOT be reversed overnight.The price of losing weight is choosing a proper diet plan and exercise routine.(常規(guī))
And it takes willpower!No matter what you do eat,you will always have to say"NO!"to something,sometime.Choices,choices that's life!Our society is becoming one of"it's not my fault"formerly known as"the devil(魔鬼) made me do it".Well,let me tell you this,unless you have a physical/medical condition that makes it impossible to lose weight,it is your fault and it is your responsibility to lose those unwanted,unhealthy,unsightly and inconvenient pounds.The sooner you start to accept this fact,the better you will feel,both physically and emotionally.
One of the greatest confidence building tools in our lives is when we set a goal and achieve it.Some things in our lives are more under our control than others.Losing weight is one of those things.
So,without further excuses,let's get started taking the steps that will get"losing weight"crossed off next New Year's resolution list!
31.According to the writer,D is the most important to losing weight.
A.magic mantra    
B.a(chǎn) proper diet plan
C.exercise routine
D.willpower
32.By saying"Why do we not want to pay the price for anything?"the writer points outC.
A.people don't want to spend money in losing weight
B.people shouldn't put"losing weight"on the New Year's solution list
C.people should take actions instead of making a New Year solution
D.people should blame themselves for being over weight
33.The underlined word"reversed"in paragraph 2probably meansC.

分析 你有多少個新年目標是從"我想要減掉x磅的肉"開始的,就好像這句話是一種神奇的咒語,就好像說了這句話的結(jié)果就是體重會掉下來!
為什么我們不想為任何東西付出代價?長胖不是一夜之間的事情,我們也不可能在一夜之間就減肥成功.減肥的代價就是選擇一個健康合適的飲食和培養(yǎng)一個有規(guī)律的運動習(xí)慣.
它需要意志力,不管你做什么,有時候你總是需要對某些東西或事情說"不!".選擇就是生活!我們的社會正在成為一個"這不是我的錯,是魔鬼讓我這么做的".讓我告訴你,除非你的身體條件或醫(yī)學(xué)條件導(dǎo)致你不能減肥,否則減肥不成功就是你的錯、就是你的責(zé)任.你越早開始接受這一事實,在身體和情感上你才會感覺更好.
在生活中,我們建立信心的方式之一就是實現(xiàn)我們預(yù)先設(shè)定的目標.在我們的生活中的一些事情較別的事情相比均在我們的掌控之中,減肥是這些事情之一.
所以,沒有其他更多的借口,讓我們開始采取措施吧,將減肥成功寫在下一個新年的目標列表中!

解答 31.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)The price of losing weight is choosing a proper diet plan and exercise routine.可知,減肥最重要的是有一個健康的飲食以及經(jīng)常鍛煉,而這些在下文中寫道And it takes willpower!,所有的這些都需要意志力,即willpower
32.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Why do we not want to pay the price for anything?Gaining weight is not an overnight effect and it will NOT be reversed overnight.可知,人們不想為任何東西付出代價,人們不知道長胖不是一夜之間的事情,我們也不可能在一夜之間就減肥成功,其實作者的意思就是與其把減肥當做我們的新年愿望,不如腳踏實際的用實際行動來減肥,我們必須為減肥采取行動,而不是嘴上說說這么簡單,即people should take actions instead of making a New Year solution;
33.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Gaining weight is not an overnight effect and it will NOT be reversed overnight.可知,前半句說長胖不是一夜之間的是,而下文這種情況也不會在一夜之間reversed,而本文的主要話題就是減肥,而增重和減肥為兩件相反的事情,因此這里的意思是增重不是一晚上的事,同樣反過來,減肥也不是一晚上的事,因此答案為changed,即改變肥胖這件事不是一晚上的事;

點評 該文章講述的內(nèi)容是以減肥為話題引出凡是均應(yīng)持之以恒、付諸行動.做題時要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上,與題目有機的結(jié)合,從文章中找到相關(guān)細節(jié)性的句子與選項細細比對,進行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項.做題注意靈活,有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

8.Women make up 50percent of world's population and yet they are not treated equally.They hold less than one-fifth of the all parliamentary (議會) seats around the world,occupy less than 19percent of board (董事會) seats in Fortune 500companies and earn 17percent less than men for similar skills and positions.As a group,they are passed over and looked down on.
On March 8 every year,millions of women around the world celebrate International Women's Day.It is possible that you may not have heard about the International Women's Day in the United States.Yet Women's Day had its origin in the United States.
Women's Day was first celebrated in February 1909in the US to mark the one-year anniversary of the New York Garment Worker's Strike of 1908.Women used the chance to fight against warring and fight for women's vote rights.
Did you know that it was a Women's Day protest in St.Petersburg in 1917,which led to the revolution (革命) for bringing down the Russian empire?After the Russian revolution,Women's Day came to be celebrated as a communist (共產(chǎn)主義的) or socialist (社會主義的) holiday.As a result,the United States government didn't accept it as a holiday.
Today Women's Day is celebrated in places such as China and Russia as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.The tradition in these countries is to give flowers and gifts to the important women in one's life.
In 1975,the United Nations officially announced March 8as International Women's Day.Since then,it has been a practice to suggest an annual theme for each year.The theme for 2016is"Pledge For Parity."It calls on women and men to challenge the present state and inspire positive change in their communities and workplaces.
There is a lot that needs to be done.As a society,we need to offer women and girls chances to make their dreams come true,have equal chances for leadership,respect and value differences,and develop a better work environment.This day challenges and reminds that everyone can be a leader in their own small way and can take positive steps to bring about gender equality.
Our world can truly be balanced when we use the potential that women have to offer.As we prepare children for the future,it is important that girls and women not be left behind.

Women's present situationWomen make up (56)half of the world's population.
Women get(57)fewer chances and less money while working.
 (58)History of Women's DayIt was first celebrated in the US in 1909.
The Women's Day protest in 1917(59)caused the revolution in Russia.
It was not(60)accepted as a holiday in the United States.
The United Nations (61)announcedMarch 8th as International Women's Day in 1975.
Ways of celebrating Women's DayBeing(62)celebrated as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.
Flowers and gifts are(63)given to the important women in one's life.

6.One of the most widely accepted assumptions (假設(shè)) in our culture is that if you exercise,youwill lose weight.I exercise all the time,but I still have got fat.Why doesthis happen?
    More than 45 million Americans now belongto a health club,up from 23 million in 1993.We spend some $19 billion a yearon sports.Of course,some people join the health club but never go.Still,asone main study-the Minnesota Heart Survey-found,more of us at least say weexercise regularly.
    However,the number of fat people has risengreatly:a third of Americans are fat,and another third count as overweight.Yes,it's highly possible that those of us who regularly go to the sportscenter would weigh even more if we exercised less.But like many other people,I get hungry after I exercise,so I often eat more on the days I exercise thanon the days I don't.Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
    People believe that exercise is importantfor weight control is actually rather new.Doctors used to advise not toexercise too much,particularly for older adults who might hurt themselves.Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise because peoplewho regularly exercise are at a lower risk for most illness,especially heartproblems.They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses,but the roleof exercise in weight loss has been completely overestimated (評估過高).
