    1.根據(jù)上下文考查合適的動名詞。從文章大意可知是希望人們有健康的生活方式,參加一些activities(第二小節(jié)中),因此選playing outside最合適。后面的reading和studying都是室內(nèi)活動。
    2.根據(jù)上下文考查合適的動詞。上文提出了一個問題,所以選find out“發(fā)現(xiàn)、找到(答案)”。
    3.根據(jù)上下文考查意義正確的搭配。leave…off“關(guān)掉”,這是leave復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu)。
    4.考查搭配。由后文的to,可見這里只能填from。
    5.根據(jù)上下文考查合適的詞組。這兩句話講的是參與這個活動的人數(shù)的變化,因此先說的是“一開始”in the beginning。
    6.根據(jù)上下文考查意義正確的詞。這句話是對前一句話的補充說明,根據(jù)后文的and in more than 12 other countries可見是對所有參與者的一個說明,用including“包括”。
    7.考查符合上下文的名詞。進一步陳述組織者的目的。
    8.考查符合文章中心思想的詞義選擇。組織者的目的就是希望人們有健康的生活方式,用turn on life“點亮生活”很形象地闡明了中心。
    9.考查符合上下文的名詞。下文的數(shù)據(jù)明顯是針對學(xué)生而言,因此用kids。
    10.根據(jù)上下文提供的數(shù)據(jù),當(dāng)然看電視的時間更多。
    11.考查符合上下文的詞。這里表示“看電視過多”。
    12.考查符合上下文的關(guān)聯(lián)詞。下文是對上文作更具體的說明,in fact“實際上”。
    13.根據(jù)上文的grow fat,這里應(yīng)該是overweight“超體重的”。overeating“吃得過多”是導(dǎo)致肥胖的一個方面(還有缺乏鍛煉),“成長過快的”overgrown和“監(jiān)督”overseeing不合文意。
    14.根據(jù)上下文及搭配考查合適的動詞詞組。從邏輯上看首先排除result from“由于”、keep away“不接觸”,再根據(jù)后面的too little exercise, and violence從搭配上排除develops。
    15.根據(jù)中心思想,組織者認(rèn)為從道理上說這樣做“應(yīng)該是”健康生活的一部分。
    16.從下文來看Vespe是作為一個電視觀眾,即一個參與本次活動的參與者,講自己的體會,而不是一個組織者,因此選taking part in,而participate后面需要加in。
    17.結(jié)合句意考查名詞引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句。從主句的現(xiàn)在進行時,可以判斷選every time“每次”最合適。而every day后面要加when,this time“這次”不合題意。
    18.結(jié)合上下文考查固定搭配?!爱a(chǎn)生了影響”make a difference。
    19.根據(jù)句意考查名詞與動詞搭配。下文不是列舉data“數(shù)據(jù)”具體是多少,所以不能用says或reads,應(yīng)該用shows表示數(shù)據(jù)說明的情況。

    7. B。后面幾句話描寫的都是Maureen“看到”的。
    8. C。上文提到“有些孩子在小攤那兒”,可知“他們買過東西”,現(xiàn)在又在“買”。
