完形填空
Researchers stress that we need diet and exercise to drop pounds. "The most 【26】 way to lose weight is with a combination," says Rena Wing, head of the National Weight Control Center. 【27】 experts also admit that many 【28】 losers find it helps to 【29】 on one or the other. "A lot of people feel helpless at the thought of 【30】 everything — diet, lifestyle," says Bess Marcus, professor of human behavior at Brown University Medical School. "So ask yourself, ''【31】 do I want to start? What am I willing to focus on?'' "
The 【32】 depends on everything from what you hope to 【33】 to how your life is 【34】. If you are in a big hurry to drop pounds 【35】, dieting is the way to go. Decades of 【36】 have shown it''s the surest and quickest method. If you are more 【37】 with how you look than with numbers on the scale, though, 【38】 may be the way to go. By increasing physical activity, you''ll 【39】 fat and build muscle tissue. 【40】 often end up losing both fat and muscle tissue.
Your 【41】 approach is one that suits your lifestyle. If you''ve tried and 【42】 at one approach, consider the other. " A lot of people have become so disappointed that they begin to think they''ll 【43】 be able to lose weight, " says Marcus. "That''s when it''s time to try something new. 【44】 a small step forward can help people 【45】 confidence and convince themselves they can make even bigger changes."
【答案解析】本题考查对上下文语义的综合理解。concentrate on集中,全神贯注于;dwell on细想,详述;insist on坚持,坚决要求;stress on着重,强调。前文说到“with a combination”,指的是把节食和做运动结合起来。由上题可知后面的意思与前文相反,所以应该是说把注意力集中在其中一种方法上。故选A。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】本题考查动宾搭配。change改变;combine结合;develop发展,建立;practice练习;combine常用于combine A with B/或combine A and B结构,故应排除。此空后而所接宾语everything的指代对象是“饮食,生活习惯”,饮食和生活习惯只能是“改变”而不可能是“发展或者练习”。故选A。
