[策略指导] (一)这样读文
D．street B．flooding D．stepping B．full D．healthy B．limitlessly D．randomly B．reached D．dropped B．painful D．peaceful
1．抓首句，明文体，确保读文方向不跑偏
由文章首句“At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.”和文中关键信息词、句“When I was 50” “That year”“A year later”可知本文为记叙文。
2．抓关键词(话题词、行为动词)，巧串联，理顺文脉明主旨
结合文中“food, weight problem, fitness coach”等话题词汇和“weighed, heal, lose weight”等关键信息词汇可知本文是有关“减肥”的事情。本文的行文脉络如下：
(二)这样做题 [名师解题]
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者一直想减肥，但是都没有成功。后来她又开始减肥，但是这次的目的不同：减肥的同时，为流浪儿童募捐。以这个目标为动力，作者终于减肥成功并做了一件有意义的事。
16．选C 根据下文中的“to make myself feel better”可知，作者用食物消除(kill)自己的负面情绪。add“增加”，mix“混合”，share“分享”，都与语境不符。
17．选A 作者担心自己的健康，为了控制饮食和体重试过许多种节食(diets)的办法。drinks“饮料”，fruits“水果”，dishes“菜肴”，都不符合语境。
18．选D 作者担忧自己的健康问题，但许多节食办法都没用，于是觉得对自己的体重(weight)没办法了。
19．选C 作者50岁的时候，体重问题更加突出，严重地(seriously)影响作者的健康。temporarily“暂时地”，recently“最近”，secretly“秘密地”，都与语境不符。
20．选B 上文说到作者饱受自己体重问题的困扰，因此这里用形容词extra表示“额外的”，作者决心要开始甩掉身上多余的肉。
21．选A 从选项的词义和搭配看，这里应该用动词attended与seminar(培训会)搭配，表示作者参加了一个培训会。
22．选B 培训会的一个领导者讲述自己不仅减重125磅，还为流浪儿童募集了两万五千美元，这是一个成功(success)的故事。folk“民谣”，adventure“冒险”，science“科学”，都不符合语境。
23．选C 作者受到这个领导者的故事的影响(Influenced)，创办了一个项目。surprised“使惊奇”，amused“逗笑”，disturbed“打扰”，都不符合语境。
24．选A 这是作者创办的一个项目，因此用名词project表示“项目，方案”，“project”在下文多处被提到。
25．选D 作者的目标是减重150磅并募集五万美元来支持一项开始于30年前的旨在消除饥饿的运动，因此用in support of表示“支持”。in search of“寻找”，in need of“需要”，in place of“代替”。
26．选D 把个人的减肥与帮助解决世界问题结合起来，这让作者觉得这是完美的解决办法，动词strike可以表示“(以某种方式)给某人留下印象”，因此选D。
27．选A as引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”，这里说的是当作者开始实施自己的减肥计划的时候，又担心这次会遇到(run into)和以前减肥中一样的困难。
28．选B run into表示“遇到”，与后面的difficulties呼应，表示“遇到困难”。 29．选D 上文提到作者的担心，害怕会遇到先前的那些困难，因此选D表示“害怕”。 30．选C while引导让步状语从句表示“尽管”，这里表示作者觉得自己这次走在正确的道路(path)上，因此选C。
31．选B 这里表示捐款大量涌来，flood在此用作动词表示“涌进”，符合语境。 32．选D 这里说的是作者饮食的变化，吃得少，而且吃得很健康(healthy)。吃得很多(heavy)，吃得很饱(full)，吃的东西很贵(expensive)，都不符合语境。
33．选A 作者经常锻炼，regularly表示“有规律地，经常地”。
34．选B 这里说的是作者一年之后实现(reached)了自己先前设定的目标，因此选B。 35．选C 作者在这里发出感悟，自己在减肥的同时做了一件有意义而又伟大的事，因
此选C。
[完形填空系列技法1] 利用词汇复现解题
复现信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。复现可以是相同的词重复出现，也可以用不同的词表达相同的意思。词汇复现的解题意义在于：如果判断出一个空格处与上下文的已知词汇有复现关系，那么选项中与上下文中已知词汇意义相同或相近的选项便可能是正确答案。
例如第17题，由上文的“At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds”和“a very poor relationship with food”可知，此处应是相近词diets“节食”。第18题，由上文的“I weighed 370 pounds”可知，此处应填weight，此题词性转换，而意义相同。第24题，由上文“we were asked to create a project”以及下文“telling them about my project”可知，应填project，此处为原词复现。第29题，由上文“I was filled with the fear”可知此处应填fear。

1．create vt. 产生；创造 2．seminar n. 研讨会；培训会 3．raise vt. 筹集资金 4．found vt. 创办，成立 5．combination n. 结合 6．motivation n. 动机，动力 7．consult with 咨询；与……协商 8．not ... any more 不再 9．fitness coach 体能教练 10．devote to 专注于……

A
At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don't act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
One of the newest taboos (禁忌) in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It's not a taboo to talk about fat; it's a taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U. S．， thin is “in” but fat is “out”．
It's not surprising that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America's fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the lifestyle of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from one point to another. As a result of inactivity, people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable (易受攻击的) to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
