A: against
B: below
C: on
D: of答案：D解析：在四个选项中，add只可以与to搭配，意为“增加”，正符合上下文的意思。
在四个选项中，A和B显然不符合逻辑，可供考虑的只有C和D。需要考虑的是，exercise这个词，如果作为“体育锻炼”讲是不可数名词，只有作为“一项运动”讲时才是可数名词，根据上下文意思，exercise也不是用来强调体育项目的（没有用复数），而amount与不可数名词连用，number则须与可数名词连用，故应选C。
从语法上分析，主句主语exercise的谓语应该是is not only pleasant but beneficial，中间显然应该是一个定语从句，定语从句所缺少的是主语，故应选A,
从语法上分析，one should+动词应该是前面那个主语的定语从句，只是定语从句的宾语which/that被省略了，而四个选项中只有take可与exercise搭配，故应选D。
point，既可表达时间（“时刻”）或空间（“地点”）也可表达“程度”的意思，to the point of“达到……的地步/程度”，符合上下文要求。所以答案为A。
本空格后面的of middle age and beyond提示了本空格要填的词应该是指 “人”的词，而且不止一个人，从上下文看，these显然不合适，因为上文并没有特指哪些人，故只 有C合适。
本句中is后面应该是表语部分，四个选项中只有D项of合适，of impor- tance=important,of vital importance=very,very important。
从语法上分析，这个空必须填上一个形容词作question的定语，从上下文分析，只有B项hard合适，这里的hard =difficult。
前句已经说到，“不同年龄的人做多少运动是一个难以回答的问题”，显然本句的意思是“个人的差异太大，无法一概而论”，因此选择B项too是最恰当的。too... to...的结构具有否定的意义。
虽然四个选项都可以与on搭配，但act on意为“按照……行动”, carry on 意为“进行”，不符合文意，只有depend on“取决于……”和base on“根据……”语境可以考虑，但base是及物动词，应该为base sth. on...，故只能选择A。
虽然四个选项都可以与as连用，但用法和意义各有不同，refer to sb. /sth. as“把……说成……”； regard sb./sth. as“把……当成…… ” ； treat sb. /sth. as“把……当成……”；均不符合语境，只有serve as“充当……，作为……”在语法上和意义上恰当。所以答案为C。
前面A、B、C三个选项的词义分别为“推迟”、“保护”、“设计”，与上下文意义不相符，只有D项“测定、确定”符合文意。
前面说到有两个一般性的建议，并且已提到“第一个”，那么“另一个”只能考虑A、B两个选项了。二者都有“另一个”的意思，只是用法不同，another不用冠词，而the other则需要定冠词the，故选A。
四个选项中A、C、D三个选项的意思与上下文相去甚远，只有B项合适。 one should choose用来做前面主语的定语从句，在定语从句中省略了宾语that/which。
四个选项中只有C项in可与participate连用，意为“参加”，in的宾语是引导定语从句的关系代词that。 -
第3题：
Getting enough vitamins is essential to life,although the body has no nutritional use for（ ）vitamins.Many people,nevertheless,believe in being on the“safe side”and thus take extra vitamins.However,a well‐balanced diet will usually meet all the body's vitamin needs.A.exceptional
B.exceeding
C.excess
D.external答案：C解析：excess“额外的，超额的，多余的”，并与下文中的extra相呼应。第一句意为：“虽然多余的维生素对身体没有营养作用，但吸收足够的维生素对生命至关重要。”A.exceptional“不寻常的，例外的”；B.exceeding“超越的，非常的”；D.external“外部的，外面的”。 -
第4题：
Moods,say the experts,are feelings that are likely to become fixed,having effects on one′s outlook（way of looking at things）for hours,days or even weeks.That′s great if your mood is a pleasant one,but a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out;sometimes,though,there is no one to listen.Modern pharmacology（药物学）offers a lot tranquilizers（镇定剂）and anti-anxiety drugs.What many people don′t realize,however,is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous.So next time you feel out of sorts,don′t head for the drug store--try the following method.
Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques,aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood."If you could keep the exercise,you′d be in high spirits,"says Kathryn Lance,author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser.Physical work such as housework,however,does little.The key is aerobic exercise--running,cycling,walking,swimming,or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation（循环）,and improve the body′s use of oxygen.Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week.
What is the main subject of the passage?A.How to beat a bad mood.
B.How to talk bad moods out.
C.How to do physical exercises.
D.How to do aerobic exercise.答案：A解析：考情点拨：主旨大意题，应试指导：全文讲述了将心情变好的方法有药物疗法和运动疗法两种，即如何战胜坏心情 -
第5题：
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts: for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. “Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight,” says York Onnen, program director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight. What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center’s study? （）
- A、Controlling one’s calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.
- B、Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.
- C、Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.
- D、One could lose ten pounds in a year’s time if there’s no increase in food intake.

What Makes Me the Weight I Am?
There's no easy answer to this question.Your genetic makeup,the physical traits that get passed down to you from your parents,plays a big part in determining your size and weight. ______(46)But if your parents are smaller than average,you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!
The same goes for your body type.Have you ever heard someone say a person is"big boned"?It's a way of saying the person has a large frame,or skeleton.Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. ______(47) Like your height or body type,your genes have a lot to say about what your weight will be.But that's only part of the story.Being overweight can run in someone 's family , but it may not be because of their genes._______ (48 ) And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others , when they eat right and exercise , most kids can be a healthy and happy weight that's right for them.It's true the way you live can change the way you look.
How much you weigh is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. ______(49)If you spend your free time watching TV, your body won' t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball,skated,or went for a walk.If you are in balance,your weight will stay right for you as you grow.But if you eat more and exercise less,you may become overweight.______(50)______(50)
A:That's why it's possible for two kids with the same height but different weight,to both be the right weight.
B:If you eat more calories than your body needs to use,you will gain too much weight.
C:Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and this may be the reason the members.of a family are overweight.
D:However , many overweight people have difficulty reaching their healthy body weight.
E:On the other hand, "you eat less and exercise more, you, may lose weight.
F:If both your parents are tall,there is a good chance you＇II be tall.答案：E解析：空格前后句中都出现了parents，因此判断空格处也谈及parents的可能性很大，因此首先注意F项。而且空格前句中的your size and weight呼应F项中的tall,而空格后句中的smal-ler也是在说身高的问题，因此判断F是答案。
由此空前文内容可知，人的骨骼有大小之分，而大骨架通常比小骨架要重，因此才有可能出现这种现象，即身高相同、体重不同的两个孩子体重均正常。
前一句讲，身体超重有可能在家族中代代相传，但又不一定是基因遗传所致，接下来的句子就应说明其原因，即不良的饮食与运动习惯也代代相传，而这可能正是家族成员普遍超重的原因。
空格前后句中都出现了“calories（热量）”，因此判断空格处出现该词的可能性较大，因此首先重点注意B项。空格后面的句子结构是“if you… , your body…”，该结构也正好与B呼应，形成排比结构，因此判断B是答案。
前一句表明，如果一个人吃得多而运动得少，就有可能超重。“反之亦然”，即“吃得少而运动得多，体重就会减轻”，这显然应该是下一句要表达的意思。 -

第20题：
问答题Tomorrow is Tuesday, I’ll spend five minutes warming up on the Versa-Climber. Then I’ll do 30 minutes on a stair mill. On Wednesday a personal trainer will work me like a farm animal for an hour. Thursday is “body wedge” class, which involves another exercise contraption (device). Friday will bring a 5.5-mile run, the extra half-mile my exhausting compensation of any gastrono mical (the art or science of good eating) indulgences during the week. I have exercised like this—obsessively, a bit persistently—for years, but recently I began to wonder: Why am I doing this? Except for a two-year period at the end of an unhappy relationship—a period when I self-medicated with lots of Italian desserts—I have never been overweight. One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. But I exercise all the time, and since I ended that relationship and cut most of those desserts, my weight has returned to the same 163 lb. it has been most of my adult life. I still have gut fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise wiping it out? (1)________________. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study— the Minnesota Heart Survey-found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly. The survey ran from 1980, when only 47％of respondents said they engaged in regular exercise, to 2000, when the figure had grown to 57％. (2) ________________. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym 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 work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight? (3) ________________. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases—those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer, diabetes and many other ill-nesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly overstated. (4) ________________. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in holding people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser—or, for that matter, from magazines like this one. (5) ________________. That causes us to eat more, which in turn can cancel out the weight-loss benefits we just accrued. Exercise, in other words, isn’t necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it harder. (本文选自Time 2009年刊) [A] And yet obesity figures have risen dramatically in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. [B] The conventional wisdom that exercise is essential for shedding pounds is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against rigorous exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. [C] It’s a question many of us could ask. More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. [D] The findings were surprising. On average, the women in all the groups, even the control group, lost weight, but the women who exercised—sweating it out with a trainer several days a week for six months—did not lose significantly more weight than the control subjects did. [E] The basic problem is that while it’s true that exercise burns calories and that you must burn calories to lose weight, exercise has another effect: it can stimulate hunger. [F] “In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism (any basic process of organic functioning or operating) at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher. [G] Yes, although the muscle-fat relationship is often misunderstood. According to calculations published in the journalObesity Researchby a Columbia University team in 2001, a pound of muscle bums approximately six calories a day in a resting body, compared with the two calories that a pound of fat burns.正确答案：
1. C 作者在前文介绍了自己坚持锻炼的情况,提到if you exercise, you will lose weight的流行观点,但是作者坚持锻炼几年了still have gut fat,并在段末提出自己的疑问Why isn’t all the exercise wiping it out?。选项C首句It’s a question many of us could ask.正好与上文末尾的问题相呼应,故为正确答案。
2. A 上文已经提到from 1980to 2000越来越多的人非常有规律地进行锻炼,A首句And yet obesity figures have risen dramatically in the same period,其中in the same period指上文运动人群增多的同时期,肥胖人口也在增多,因此,作者在段尾提出:Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight? 上下文逻辑关系清楚,故A为正确答案。
3. B 上文分析了运动与减肥之间的关系,而空缺处下文Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise中由语气词even可推知,以前年长的病人不被建议进行强烈的锻炼,选项B首句提出通过运动来减肥的做法是进来才兴起的,在1960s的时候,医生不建议老年人剧烈运动,承上启下,其中As recently as与下文的Today在时间上有了承接,故为正确答案。此处干扰项为D,,讲将女性作为实验对象得出结果,本文中虽提及运动对减肥并无多大益处,但是上下文并未提及D中所说的女性参加的不同小组的对比实验,故排除。
4. F 由前一段落末尾But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly overstated.可知,锻炼在减肥过程当中所起的作用被夸大,空缺后文又提到运动在帮助人们减肥方面的效果并非人们所想象的那么好,F中In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless正好与上下文一致,故为正确答案。
5. E 由本空后文That causes us to eat more可知,,选文应该与代词that指代的含义一致。E中末尾it can stimulate hunger是导致我们吃的更多的原因,与下文形成因果联系,故E为正确答案。此处注意干扰项G,本文作者讨论运动与减肥之间的关系时,虽然涉及热量的消耗,但是并未提及the muscle-fat relationship,更不至于有其关系被误解的状况,所以可排除此项。解析： 暂无解析
