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）．
"In general，for weight loss，exercise ispretty useless，"says an exercise researcher．

31．From thepassage we learn thatA．
A．some Americans join a health club but never go there  
B．the number of overweight people has doubled since 1993
C．more than 45 million Americans now go to the sports center regularly
D．Americans waste too much money each year on sports
32．According tothe writer，people might put on weight becauseD．
A．they have the habit of going to the health club regularly
B．they eat the same food when they do not exercise
C．they exercise less than required by doctors
D．they eat more after they exercise
33．What may be thebest title for this passage？B
A．Overweight Is Not Good for Your Health  
B．Exercise Won't Make You Thin 
C．Health Club Is Part of American Lifestyle           
D．Fatness Is a Social Problem in America．

分析 通常我們認(rèn)為，經(jīng)常鍛煉就可以減肥．但是研究證明，鍛煉對于減肥來說收效甚微，卻可以預(yù)防很多疾病，讓人們身體健康．

解答 31．A  細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"some people join the health club but never go"可知，很多人加入俱樂部，但是卻不去，故A正確；根據(jù)"More than 45 million Americans now belongto a health club，up from 23 million in 1993．"可知，是加入俱樂部的人數(shù)加倍，而不是超重的人數(shù)，故B錯誤；根據(jù)"some people join the health club but never go"可知，很多人沒有去俱樂部，故C錯誤；根據(jù)"We spend some $19 billion a yearon sports"可知，文中并未提及浪費了很多錢，故D錯誤．故答案為A
32．D  細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"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？"可知，人們不能減肥是因為鍛煉后又吃了很多．故答案為D
33．B  推理判斷題  根據(jù)短文大意可知，但是研究證明，鍛煉對于減肥來說收效甚微，故答案為 B 鍛煉不能讓你變瘦．

點評 做這道題時要先通讀全文，弄清短文大意，然后根據(jù)相關(guān)句子選出正確答案，最后仔細檢查．

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．
A．a(chǎn)chieved

14．When I was at university，I studied very hard．But a lot of my friends did very （63）little work．Some just did enough to pass the exams．Others didn't do quite enough．Fred Braines was such a student．He spent more time drinking in the （64）Tea House than working in the library．
Once at the end of the term，we had to take an important test in Chinese．The test had 100questions．Beside each question we had to write"True"or"False"．While I was studying in my room，F(xiàn)red was watching TV．Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test．But on that night he looked very （65）easy．Then he told me of his idea．
"It's very simple．There are 100questions and I have to get 50right to pass the test．I will take a coin into the examination room．I haven't studied a Chinese book for months，so I will toss （拋） the coin．In this way，I'm sure I'll get （66）half of the questions right．"
The next day，F(xiàn)red came happily into the examination room．As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour，he wrote down his answers．Then he left，half an hour （67）before the rest of us．
The next day，F(xiàn)red met his Chinese teacher at the school gate．"Oh，good，"he said．"I am sure you have got the （68）results of the test．Did I pass the test？"
The teacher looked at him and smiled，"Ah，it's you，Braines．Just a minute．"Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin．He threw it into the air，caught in his hand and looked at it．"I am sorry，Braines，you （69）ffailed！"

16．The Mermaid Balloon
"Mum！"little Desiree said，"It's my daddy's birthday．How will I send him a birthday card？"Her mother looked at her and sighed．She didn't know what to say．Desiree's father had died nine months earler．Desiree didn't understand．She was only four years old．
"I have an idea，"her mother said．"Let's write your daddy a letter．We can tie the letter to a balloon and send it up to heaven（天堂）．What should we write？"
Desiree told her mother to write，"Happy Birthday，Daddy．I love you and miss you．Please write me on my birthday in January．"
Desiree's mother wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper．Then they went to a store to buy a balloon．Desiree looked quickly at the balloons and said，"That one!The one with the mermaid（美人魚）！"
They bought the mermaid balloon and tied the letter to it．Then Desiree let the balloon go．
Desiree released the balloon in California．The wind caught the balloon and carried it east．Four days later，it came down 3，000 miles away，near a lake in eastern Canada．The name of the lake was Mermaid Lake．
Wade MacKinnon，a Canadian man，was hunting ducks at Mermaid Lake when he found Desiree's balloon and letter．He took them home to his wife．She decided to send Desiree a birthday present．She also wrote her a letter．The letter said：
Dear Desiree，
Happy Birthday from your daddy．I guess you wonder who we are．Well，my husband，Wode，went duck hunting，and guess what he found？A mermaid balloon that you sent your daddy．There are no stores in heaven，so your daddy wanted someone to do his shopping for him．I think he picked us because we live in a town called Mermaid．I know your daddy loves you very much and will always watch over you．
Lots of love，
The MacKinnons
Desiree's mother wrote the Mackinnons to thank them．During the next few weeks，she and the MacKinnons telephoned each other often．Then Desiree and her mother flew to Canada to meet the MacKinnons．The MacKinnons took them to Mermaid Lake and showed them where the balloon landed．
Now，whenever Desiree wants to talk about her father，she calls the MacKinnons．After she talks to them，she feels better．
People often say，"What a coincidence（巧合）-the mermaid balloon landed at Mermaid Lake!"Desiree's mother is not sure it was just a coincidence．She says，"I think that somehow my husband picked the MacKinnons．It was his way to send his love to Desiree．Desiree understands now that her father is with her always．"
