we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential(潛力)of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, highcalorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word diet in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zerocalorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don39。t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain es without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that es from using them.(1)From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. products fail to bring out people39。s potential have difficulty in choosing diet products products are misleading people are fed up with diet products(2)In Paragraph 3, gain es without pain probably means_______. weight is effortless costs a lot to lose weight products bring no pain products are free from calories(3)Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products . overconsumed basic nutrients short of chemicals too much energy(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? Notes: CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Subpoint (次要點(diǎn)) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)B(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,我們的生活中充斥著各種各樣的減肥產(chǎn)品。事實(shí)上,減肥產(chǎn)品不僅在身體上而且在心理上都給人們帶來了危害。減肥需要堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的決心和實(shí)際的努力鍛煉,因此我們應(yīng)該向減肥產(chǎn)品說不。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential(潛力)of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.”可知我們很容易被減肥產(chǎn)品的承諾和功效吸引,而不思考減肥產(chǎn)品給我們帶來了什么。我們付錢購買傷害我們身心健康的產(chǎn)品。減肥產(chǎn)品極大地從心理上削弱我們。所以減肥產(chǎn)品沒有他們自己宣傳的那么好,還會(huì)傷害我們自己,即減肥產(chǎn)品在誤導(dǎo)我們。故選C。 (2)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“Every time we have a zerocalorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don39。t have to work to get results.”可知每次喝零卡路里的飲料時(shí),我們都在毫無意識(shí)地告訴自己不用工作就能有回報(bào);以及“l(fā)ife can be without resistance and struggle.”生活可以沒有反抗和奮斗。因此推斷gain es without pain的意思是說明減肥是毫不費(fèi)力的。故選C。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分).”可知減肥食物會(huì)間接傷害我們的身體,因?yàn)橄M(fèi)減肥食物而不是健康食物就意味著我們正在阻止我們的身體獲得基本營(yíng)養(yǎng)。所以推斷減肥食物傷害身體是因?yàn)闇p肥食品缺少基本的營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically”我們?cè)陉P(guān)注對(duì)我們身心有害的產(chǎn)品;第二段中的“All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word ‘diet’ in food labels.”可知減肥讓我們做的是認(rèn)識(shí)“節(jié)食”這個(gè)標(biāo)簽;以及“diet products have greater psychological effects.”可知減肥產(chǎn)品有很大的心理影響;第四段中的“The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause.”可知減肥產(chǎn)品的危害不僅在心理方面,也在身體方面;第五段中的“it is time to seriously think about buying them.”可知要認(rèn)真考慮要不要買減肥產(chǎn)品。所以文章是先說了減肥產(chǎn)品對(duì)身心有害,然后舉了兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn):一是我們了解“節(jié)食”這個(gè)標(biāo)簽,二是有很大的心理影響。在心理影響之后又補(bǔ)充了身體的影響,最后提出要認(rèn)真考慮買不買減肥產(chǎn)品。即總說下兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn),在第二個(gè)觀點(diǎn)上有兩個(gè)支持點(diǎn),最后再總結(jié)。所以選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages。 they require courage and strength to share。 and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessa
