单选题 Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming(瘦身) club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the New Year... But it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost will-power and tried to believe that the odd bags of fish and chips didn't make any difference but the scales don't lie.
Roz Juma:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more -- I've learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn't be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a superthin body. This is obviously the size I meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it.
Lesley Godwin:
I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror, unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might trove been my problem -- perhaps from then on I didn't pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I've put on weight again.

单选题 What do you think the three women were all talking about?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】主旨题。通读文章的三个部分,发现它们都涉及了slimming(瘦身)、weight(体重)、diet(节食)等高频词汇,由此根据文章内容和常识可以推知这三个人谈论的应当是节食减肥方面的问题,因此选[A]。
单选题 Where is this short passage most probably taken from?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】推理判断题。由上题的分析可知,这三个人谈论的都是自己减肥瘦身的情况,并且文中口语化倾向很严重,由此可以推知这篇材料应当是由一种口头讨论或者交谈整理而成。四个选项中,只有[A]属于口头性讨论,所以就是答案。
单选题 The underlined word "scales" in the first paragraph most probably means"
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】词义推测题。该词所在句的意思是,“我”试图让自己相信炸鱼片和薯条不会让自己的体重有什么影响,但______不会撒谎。这也就是说scales知道她的体重会增加,因此它肯定是一种能得知体重的东西,故答案是[B]scales天平,秤。
单选题 From what Roz Juma says, we can conclude that ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】Ros Juma首先指出自己不再称体重,因为她已经学会快乐。然后说,不要太多考虑食物和节食,而应当不幻想有特别苗条的身材。而在最后一句中她指出,她现在的身材就是她自己想要的。由这些不难推知她的身材应当适当,所以她才说“I'm happy with it”,故答案为[C]。
