A
For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self – worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes. 1. The passage seems to emphasize the importance of . A. body size B. attitudes toward life C. cultural differences D. different beauty standards
答案解析：答案為B。本題考查文章的主旨大意。文章前面的內(nèi)容介紹了作者減肥的痛苦思想經(jīng)歷，最后一段最后一句話點(diǎn)出了文章的中心 “When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.” 作者認(rèn)為當(dāng)我們改變對(duì)我們自己的態(tài)度后，整個(gè)世界就變了，因此本文在強(qiáng)調(diào)生活的態(tài)度，故答案為B。
2. What does the underlined part “in vain” in the last paragraph mean? A. Without success. B. Without purpose. C. In doubt. D. In trouble.
答案解析：答案為A。本題為詞義猜測(cè)題。由劃線部分所在的語(yǔ)境 “Many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain.”可知，“but”后的意思應(yīng)該與前面的“很多人努力地去改變身體”意思相反，因此“in vain”的意思最有可能是“沒有成功”，故答案為A。
3. What can be inferred about the author? A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author has been troubled by her / his weight. D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由第一段第一句話 “For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size.”可知，很多年以來，作者相信他/她的痛苦是因?yàn)樽陨淼纳聿姆逝?，因此可以推斷作者很多年都受到體重的困擾，故答案為C。由最后一段首句 “It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty.”可知，作者花了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才意識(shí)到關(guān)于美還有很多的要學(xué)習(xí)，因此作者減肥并不成功，故干擾項(xiàng)最強(qiáng)的B選項(xiàng)“作者成功減肥了”錯(cuò)誤。
4. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost
some weight first and gained it back later? A. They feel angry about the regained weight.
B. They pay little attention to the regained weight.
C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control. 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，很多人減肥后還是長(zhǎng)胖，即使如此，他們?nèi)匀幌嘈畔麓我欢〞?huì)有所不同，能夠變得更瘦，這就是許多人的自我安慰，從而保持快樂?？梢酝茢?，那些減肥的人對(duì)他們的減肥計(jì)劃感到非常樂觀，故答案為C。
B
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers
push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because .
A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure
答案解析：答案為A。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段 “Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, ...”可知，在十九世紀(jì)讀詩(shī)是一種社會(huì)行為，因?yàn)槿藗冏x詩(shī)寫詩(shī)都是和朋友以及與自己有關(guān)的人分享，也就是說讀詩(shī)在人們之間建立起一種聯(lián)系，故答案為A。 2. The underlined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “ ”.
A. concentration B. change C. amusements D. stories
答案解析：答案為C。本題為詞義猜測(cè)題。由第二段 “It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure,?”可知，在十九世紀(jì)，沒有電視機(jī)、電影院和寬帶網(wǎng)，然而詩(shī)歌是快樂的源泉，因此可以推斷，電視機(jī)、電影院和寬帶網(wǎng)提供的是娛樂，故答案為C。 3. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry. B. Students are poorly educated in high school.
C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry. D. Poems have become difficult to understand.
答案解析：答案為D。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由倒數(shù)第二段 “Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.”可知，讀者與詩(shī)歌之間產(chǎn)生了鴻溝主要是因?yàn)樵?shī)歌很難讀懂，故答案為D。 4. In the last paragraph, the writer questions . A. the difficulty in studying poems B. the way poems are taught in school
C. students’ wrong ideas about poetry D. the techniques used in writing poems
答案解析：答案為B。本題為推理題。最后一段的首句也就是該段的主題句 “Poets failed the reader, so did teachers.”，除了詩(shī)歌自身令讀者難以理解外，教師也是一個(gè)因素。該段后面的內(nèi)容對(duì)此句話進(jìn)行了說明 “They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something.” 教師想讓學(xué)生知道詩(shī)歌的寫作技巧，想讓學(xué)生看到詩(shī)歌意味著某些東西。從作者的語(yǔ)氣可以推斷，作者對(duì)教師在學(xué)校里教授詩(shī)歌的方式進(jìn)行了質(zhì)疑。故答案為B。
