Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 3 sections.
Section A Directions: This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. Both the dialogues and questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
[解析] W: You still have an hour to wait, Sir. So relax. M: Relax! How can I when I'm so anxious about the interview? Q: When does the conversation take place?

[解析] M: Did you hear the weather forecast? W: Yes, they said it would be a little above freezing tomorrow. Q: What kind of weather are they having?
[解析] 本题为推断题。本题问:他们那里现在的天气怎样?对话中,男士问女士是否听了天气预报,女士回答“it would be a little above freezing tomorrow”,即天气预报说明天要略高于零度。freezing意为“冰冻,冰点,零度”。由此可以推断,他们那里的天气很冷,故本题的正确答案为A)。

That means $500 a month plus electricity. W: That's right. Do you want to have a look at it? M: Yes, I think so. 8. What are they talking about?
Section C Directions. This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages. You will hear a recorded passage. After that, you will hear 5 questions.

[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:纽约和大多数其他美国城市在什么方面不同?由句子“New Yorkers have their own culture which is different from the culture of other cities and places in the U. S.”可知,纽约人有自己的文化,而它不同于美国其他城市的文化。所以本题空格处应填culture。
4. What is the speaker's suggestion to foreign visitors? They should visit ______ Places instead of just New York.
several different

Part Ⅱ Structure Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A Directions: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
1. Recently petroleum, along with fuel gas, ______ in price.
A.have risen
B.has risen
C.have raised
D.has raised
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:最近石油和燃料煤气的价格上涨了。 本题是考查名词的数和动词的辨析。首先要注意rise和raise的区别。rise为不及物动词,表示“上升,上涨”。因此表示“价格上涨”,应该用rise;而raise是及物动词,意为“抬高,举起”,后需跟宾语。可见本句中可以首先排除选项C)和选项D)。由于本句主语是petroleum,因此谓语动词的数也为单数,故本题的正确答案是B)。 [拓展] 当主语后面接由as well as,as much as,accompanied by,including,in addition to,rather than,together with等引导的词组或短语时,这些词所引导的短语不影响主语自身的单、复数形式,即句子的谓语动词形式仍依主语的单复数而定。这些词所引导的短语与主语之间则往往用逗号隔开。如: The teacher,with all his students,is going to have a picnic this weekend.老师打算这个周末与学生们一起去野炊。 The students, together with their teacher, are going to have a picnic this weekend.学生们打算这个周末与他们的老师一起去野炊。
2. Now that the money is gone, we have no choice but______ the case to the police.
A.report
B.reporting
C.to report
D.reported
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句意为:既然钱没了,我们就别无选择选择,只能报警。 本题是考查动词不定式省略to的用法。当不定式用作介词except或but的宾语时,如果except或but前的短语中有do,那么不定式就应省略to;如果except或but前的短语中没有do,那不定式通常就带to。如: He likes nothing except to watch TV.除了看电视外,他什么都不喜欢。 I could do nothing but agree. 我除了同意,没有别的办法。 由此可见,本题的正确答案是C)。 [拓展] 动词不定式需省略to的情况主要有以下几种: 1.在使役动词make,let,have和感官动词see,watch,look at,hear,listen to,feel,smell,observe,notice等词后作宾语补足语时,接不带to的不定式。如: The boss let me do that. 老板让我那么做。 I hear him sing a song. 我听见他唱歌。 2.在had better,had best,would rather,would sooner,rather than等结构后接不带to的不定式。如: I would rather go shopping than stay.我宁愿去商店也不愿留下来。 3.为了避免重复而省去to。但两个不定式若有对照或对比之意,则不可省去to。如: I'm really puzzled what to think or say. 我真不知道该想什么,说什么。(为避免重复而省略to) Teacher came not to scold,but to praise you. 老师不是来骂你而是来夸你的。(表对比之意,不可省略to) 4.疑问词why引导的省略句中,不定式一般须省去to。如: Why talk so much about it?这样大谈它是为什么? Why not try again?为什么不再试试呢?
3. She examined the door again for fear that a thief ______.
A.should come in
B.came in
C.would come in
D.might come in
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句意为:她又把门检查了一遍,以防盗贼的进入。 本题考查的是目的状语从句中的虚拟语气。在for fear that引导的目的状语从句中,常用虚拟语气,即:should+动词原形,其中should可以省略。所以本题的正确答案是A)。 [拓展] 目的状语从句中情态动词的用法: 1.在for fear that,in case,lest引导的目的状语从句中,常用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原形。如:John had to get a degree for fear that he should have little chance of getting a job.约翰必须拿到学位以防减少得到工作的机会。 He started out earlier lest he (should) be late. 他很早就出发了以防迟到。 2.在so that,in order that所引导的目的状语从句中,从句中的谓语为:can/may/could/might/will/would/should+动词原形。如: He goes closer to the speaker so that he can hear him clearer.他走近说话的人以便能听得更清楚。 He read the letter carefully in order that he should not miss a word. 他把信读得很仔细以便不漏掉一个字。
4. She is too young to live alone. She still needs ______.
A.being looked after
B.looking after
C.to look after
D.to have been looked after
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:她太小了不能自己生活,她还需要被照顾。 本题考查的是动词need的特殊用法。当need为实意动词作“需要”之解时,need+ doing表示“……需要被……”,即主动形式表示被动意义;也可用need+to be done的形式。本句意思是“她需要被照顾”,因此可用“She still needs looking after”来表示;当然也可说:“She still needs to be looked after. ”而选项A)和C)都不符合语法要求,可排除。选项D)用了不定式的完成时态,与句中的当前状况不符。因此本题的正确答案为B)。 [拓展] 主动形式表示被动意义的动词和词组总结如下: 1.need,want,require,stand,take,won't bear,repay,deserve等词后面常接动名词形式,表示被动意义。在这种情况下,句子的主语在逻辑上也是动名词的宾语。如: Your hair needs cutting. 你的头发需要理了。 The room wants cleaning everyday. 这个房间需要每天打扫。 The point deserves mentioning. 这一点值得一提。 2.在be worth doing结构中,动词+ing构成的动名词形式也表示被动含义,即该句子的主语是动名词形式在逻辑意义上的宾语。如: The book is worth reading a second time. 这本书值得再读一遍。 The film is worth seeing. 这部电影值得看。 3.在某些用作表语的形容词后,用不定式的主动态表示被动意义。如: This question is difficult to answer. 这个问题很难回答。 The room is comfortable to live in. 这屋子住起来很舒服。 4.在某些用作宾补的形容词后,用不定式的主动态表示被动意义。如: We find the man hard to get along with。我们发现这个人很难相处。 I think English easy to learn. 我发现英语很好学。
5. Mark often attempts to escape ______ whenever he breaks traffic regulations.
6. ______ , he already knows what career he wants to follow.
A.Young as he is
B.As he is young
C.As young he is
D.As young as he is
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句意为:他虽然年轻,但已知道要从事什么职业。 本题考查的是由as引导的让步状语从句的用法。as引导的让步状语从句必须以部分倒装的形式出现,即:把表语、状语或动词原形置于as前;though也可用于这样的结构中,如: Poor though he is,he never complain about his life. 尽管他很穷,但他从不抱怨他的生活。但although不可以这样用。而本题的各个选项中,选项C)不符合语法规则;选项B)意为“因为他年轻”,与主句之间的逻辑关系错误;选项D)意为“和他一样年轻”,不符合句意。由此可见,本题的正确答案为A)。 [拓展] 由as引导的让步状语从句必须以部分倒装的形式出现。如: 1.表语前置。如: Hard as/though he works,he makes little progress.尽管他学习很努力,但几乎没取得什么进步。 (相当于Though he works hard, he makes little progress.) 注意:当用作表语的词是名词时,该名词前置后前面不加冠词。如: Child as/though he was,he knew what was the right thing to do。虽然他只是一个孩子,但他知道该做什么。 2.状语前置。如: Fast as you read, you can't finish the work in two days.(相当于Though you read fast, you can't finish the work in two days. )虽然你读得很快,但也无法在2天内完成这项工作。 3.谓语动词前置。如: Object to my plan as you may, I'll go. (相当于Though/Although you may object to my plan, I'll go. )纵使你反对我的计划,我也要去。 注意:谓语动词前置时,常与情态动词may,might,will,would等连用。如: Search as they would,they could not find anybody in the room.虽然他们找过了,但他们在房间内没有发现任何人。
7. He talks as if he ______ there many times.
A.has been
B.has gone
C.had been
D.had gone
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句意为:他说起话来好像他去过那儿好多次似的。 本题考查的是虚拟语气。以as if/though引导的状语从句或表语从句,如果表示的是假设的或不真实的情况,则需要采用虚拟语气。若表示与现在事实相反,从句中谓语动词用一般过去时;若表示与过去事实相反,则用过去完成时。如: He acts as if he knew me. 他显得认识我似的。 He talks as if he had been abroad. 他说起话来好像曾经出过国似的。 原句中由于表示的是“他去过那里好几次”,是对已经完成的事情的虚拟,因此需用过去完成时。had been there表示“去过(已回来)”,而had gone表示“去了(还未回来)”,所以本题的正确答案是C)。 [拓展] 关于as if(though)引导的条件从句的用法说明: 当从句所表示的内容为事实或可能为事实的话,从句要用陈述语气;若从句表示的是假设的或不真实的情况,则应采用虚拟语气。请比较下列例句: It looks as if we'll be late. 我们似乎要迟到了。(可能为事实) This meat tastes as if it has already gone bad.这肉吃起来似乎已经变质了。(事实或可能为事实) she talks as if she were the leader.她说起话来好像她是领导似的。(假设)
8. I can't let this act of kindness go ______.
A.not noticing
B.not to be noticed
C.being unnoticed
D.unnoticed
A B C D
D
[解析] 本句意为:我不能让这种好人好事湮没无闻。 本题考查的是go作为系动词的用法。go作系动词时,后应接形容词作表语,如go bad。而当go后接动词的过去分词作表语时,表示主语与该动词是被动关系,如:The string comes untied. 原句中this act of kindness和notice是被动关系,因此应跟过去分词unnoticed,所以本题的正确答案是D)。 [拓展] go做系动词时,其用法通常有: 1.后接形容词作表语,即go+adj.,如go bad,go mad,go crazy等。需注意的是:动词come也可用于这个结构,但由于come和go意思相反,因此“go+adj.”通常表示令人不快的事情,而“come+adj.“通常表示好的事情。如: In hot weather, meat goes bad easily.在炎热的季节,食物很容易坏。 Things will come right in the end. 事情最后会变好的。 2.后接动词分词,即go+doing/done。其中,接过去分词作表语时,表示主语与该动词是被动关系,如go untied,go unnoticed;而接现在分词时,通常表示“去做……”。如:go swimming. go shopping, go fishing, go camping等。
9. The light in the office is still on. He forgot ______. A. turning it offB. to turn it off C. turning off it D. to turn off it
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:办公室的灯还亮着,他忘记关灯了。 本题考查的是动词后接不定式和动名词的区别。一些动词包括forget后接不定式和动名词时,所表达的意义是不同的。此题中forget to turn the light off是指“他忘记关灯了”(没有做关灯的动作);forgot turning the light off则指“他忘记他已经关了灯了”(忘了做过关灯这个动作)。而代替the light的代词it应置于动词和副词之间,所以本题的正确答案是B)。 [拓展] 下列动词后接动名词和不定式时,意思不同: 1.remember to do记住去做某事(未做);remember doing记得做过某事(已做)。 2.stop to do停止、中断(某事),目的是去做另一件事;stop doing停止正在做的事。 3.regret to do对要做的事表示遗憾;regret doing对做过的事表示遗憾、后悔。 4.go on to do继而(去做另外一件事情);go on doing继续做(原先没有做完的事情)。 5.try to do努力、企图去做某事;try doing试验、试一试做某事。
10. They rushed to the train station only ______ the train had left.
A.to find
B.finding
C.having found
D.being found
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句意为:他跑到车站,结果却发现火车已经开了。本题考查的是不定式的用法。当“only+不定式”作结果状语时,它表示的是一个相反的或出乎意料的结果,通常是一种令人失望的后果,即“不料……,反而……,想不到……,结果却……”的意思。所以本题的正确答案是A)。 [拓展] “only+不定式”的用法说明: 1.“only+不定式”可用逗号将其与前面的成分隔开。如: He rushed to the school gate,only to discover that it was locked. 他冲到学校门口,却发现门已锁上。 We walked a long way to see him,only to find that he had just left for the countryside.我们走了很长一段路去看他,没想到他刚好下乡了。 2.“only+不定式”作结果状语时,由于它表示的是一个相反的或出乎意料的结果,因此也可以改成but连接的并列结构。如: He worked hard only to fail at last. (=He worked hard but failed at last. )他工作很勤奋,结果却失败了。 3.“only+不定式”中的only有时也可以省略,但其意思不变。如: He got home (only) to learn that his father had been dead for two days.他到家后得知父亲已去世两天了。
Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. (interview) ______ know that you're nervous and expect you to think a bit, so do think carefully before you answer.
5. My chief purpose is (point) ______ out the difficulties of the matter.
to point
[解析] 本句意为:我的主要任务是指出事件中的难点所在。 本题考查的是不定式的用法。一些表示“目的,理由,功能,意图”等意思的名词,如aim,duty,goal,function,reason,intention,idea,problem,purpose,thing,wish等做主语时,常跟不定式起补充说明的作用。如:Your duty is to keep the room clean. 因此本题空格处应填to point。
6. The students (do) ______ all the exercises, the teacher went to explain the text.
having done
[解析] 本句意为:学生们已经做完了所有的练习,因此老师接着解释课文。 本题考查的是独立主格结构的用法。独立主格结构由名词或代词+分词构成,且名词或代词与分词在逻辑上是主谓关系。根据本句句意,由于学生的作业已经完成,因此其分词要用完成时态,即The students having done all the exercises。该独立主格结构在句中用作时间状语,相当于从句After the students had done all the exercises。因此本题空格处应填having done。
7. The story was so strange that she listened with a (puzzle) ______ expression on her face.
8. It is high time he (come) ______ to our house for dinner.
came/should come
[解析] 本句意为:已经到了他该上咱家吃晚饭的时候了。 本题考查的是虚拟语气。句型It is(high) time that后面的从句中,谓语动词要用过去式或should加动词原形来表示虚拟语气,意为“(早)该干某事了”。但should不可省略。如:It's time we ordered dinner.现在该叫菜了。 time前有时由about和high修饰。因此本题空格处应填came/should come;
9. They were heard (break) ______ a glass in the next door.
to break
[解析] 本句意为:有人听见他们在隔壁打破了一个玻璃杯子。 本题考查的是感官动词和被动态的用法。表示感觉的动词如feel,hear,notice,observe,see,watch,look at,listen to等用不定式作宾语补足语时,不定式必须省略to,如I hear him sing a song.但当这些动词变为被动语态时,不定式前的to则不能省略。因此本题空格处应填to break。
10. (see) ______ in this light, the matter is not as serious as people generally suppose.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Aircraft seat belts, like the seats, are designed for your safety. Work out how to fasten and unfasten them quickly. Cabin crews (机舱服务员) check that they are fastened at take-off and landing. Do not, unless you are well familiar with them, ignore the safety demonstrations(示范) at the beginning of a flight. Learn how to put on a life jacket, and how to use the emergency oxygen masks stored above the seat or in the back of the seat in front. In each magazine pocket is a card of safety instructions in pictures. It gives the positions of the emergency exits. Each of these has a sign giving the operating instructions in one or more languages, so you can open them. If the "fasten seat belts" signs flash on in flight, obey them quickly; the aircraft may be about to enter turbulence (气流) and passengers walking about, especially at the back, could be thrown around. Fire extinguishers are stored at the cabin crew stations. Extinguish cigarettes immediately the "no smoking" signs go on. Never smoke in the cabin or toilets. Between 1946 and 1976., flight fires or smoke caused 316 accidents: many began in the toilets.
1. Cabin crews check that your seat belts are fastened when ______.
A.the aircraft may be about to enter turbulence
B.you fasten and unfasten the seat belts
C.the aircraft is going to take off or land
D.the "fasten seat belts" signs flash on in flight
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:乘务员何时检查你的安全带是否系好?由题干中的线索词check可定位到文章的第一段第二句“Cabin crews check that they are fastened at takeoff and landing”从中可知,乘务员在飞机即将起飞或降落时,会检查乘客是否系好安全带。故本题的正确答案为C)。 [避错说明] 根据文章内容可知:选项A)“在飞机要进入气流时”;选项B)“在你系上和打开安全带时”;选项D)“当‘系好安全带’的指示灯亮时”都与原文内容不符,应排除。
2. From the safety demonstrations at the beginning of a flight, you can ______.
A.learn how to put on a life jacket and how to use the emergency oxygen masks
B.know where the emergency exits are
C.find a card of safety instructions in magazine pocket
D.relax yourself
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:从飞行一开始时的安全示范中,你可以学会什么?由题干中的线索词safety demonstrations,可定位到文章的第一段第四行“Learn how to put on a life jacket,and how to use the emergency oxygen masks stored above the seat or in the back of the seat in front.”从中可知,乘务员的安全示范可以教你怎样穿救生衣和怎样使用应急氧气面罩。故本题的正确答案为A)。 [避错说明] 根据文章内容可知,选项B)“知道紧急出口在哪里”;选项C)“找到在杂志袋里的安全说明书”;选项D)“让自己放松休息”都与原文内容不符,应排除。
3. "Fasten seat belts" signs flash on during the flight when ______.
A.some kind of emergency is happening on board
B.the aircraft may approach an area of turbulence
C.some passengers are walking about
D.cabin attendants want to check if your seat belts are fastened
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:什么情况下“系好安全带”的指示灯会亮?由题干中的线索词“Fasten seat belts”signs flash,可定位到文章的第二段第一句:“If the‘fasten seat belts' signs flash on in flight, obey them quickly; the aircraft may be about to enter turbulence(气流)and…”从中可知,当飞机即将进入不稳气流时,这个指示灯就会不停闪亮。故本题的正确答案为B)。 [避错说明] 选项A)“飞机上发生了紧急情况”;选项C)“有些乘客在走动”;选项D)“乘务员要检查你的安全带是否系好”。根据文章内容可知,这些选项都与原文内容不符,应排除。
4. Fire extinguishers are stored ______.
A.near each main exit
B.at the cabin crew stations
C.in the back cabin
D.above the seat
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:灭火器存放在哪里?由题干中的线索词Fire extinguishers,可定位到文章的第二段的句子“Fire extinguishers are stored at the cabin crew stations.”由此可知,灭火器存放在乘务员舱里,故本题的正确答案为B)。 [避错说明] 选项A)“靠近每个主出口”;选项C)“在后舱”;选项D)“在座位上”。根据文章内容可知,以上选项都可排除。
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.When the "no smoking" signs go on, please give up smoking.

C.Smoking in cabin or toilets will threaten safety of the aircraft and passengers.
D.Between 1946 and 1976, there were 316 accidents.
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:以下陈述哪一个是不对的?由文章的最后一句“Between 1946 and 1976,flight fires or smoke caused 316 accidents:many began in the toilets”可知,在1946至1976年间,飞行中出现的烟火引起316场事故,且很多的烟火源自厕所(吸烟)。但这316场事故只是指由烟火引起的事故,其他原因引起的事故并未包括在内。选项D)“在1946至1976年间发生了316场事故”显然与原文内容不符。所以本题的正确答案是D)。 [避错说明] 由文章的第二段第三句:“Extinguish cigarettes immediately the' no smoking' signs go on”可知,选项A)“‘请勿吸烟’灯亮起时,要立即熄灭香烟”是对的;由第二段的第四句“Never smoke in the cabin or toilets. Between 1946 and 1976, flight fires or smoke caused 316 accidents: many began in the toilets”可知,机舱和厕所不允许吸烟,因为很多飞行中发生的烟火都源自厕所(吸烟)。因此选项C)“在机舱和厕所里吸烟会威胁飞机和乘客安全”和选项B)“调查表明很多的飞行中发生的烟火都是源自厕所(吸烟)”的说法是对的,只有选项D)与原文内容不符,是错误的。
Task 2 Doctors estimate that about 40% of women over thirty in Britain are overweight. This figure may well be misleading as certainly a large number of overweight people never seek medical advice. Many women are very worried about being overweight. They feel that it shows a lack of will-power or self-control on their part. In addition, fat women do not conform to the modern ideal of beauty exemplified by fashion models and young film stars who are all incredibly thin. Apart from aesthetic (美学的)reasons, there are strong medical grounds for not overeating. Overweight people are particularly more likely to get heart disease and are easily tired by physical activity. Losing weight would certainly make them feel healthier and increase their life expectancy(预期寿命). Some women feel guilty about being fat and their guilt is repressed by eating more. It is a vicious(恶性的) cycle. On the other hand, there are women who unnecessarily lose weight in order to conform to a model of social acceptability. Some of them end up by starving themselves to death! So for these women, perhaps it might be wiser to try to remove their unhappiness than to try to remove the fat.
1. The best title for this passage would be ______.
2. Many women are worried about being overweight because ______.
A.they would like to be fashion models
B.they would like to be film stars
C.they want to follow the modern ideal of beauty
D.they lack the control of will-power
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:很多妇女担心超重的问题,是因为什么原因?由题干中的线索词worried about being overweight可定位到原文第二段中的句子“Many women are very worried about being overweight. They feel that…who are all incredibly thin. ”从中可知,很多妇女担心超重,是因为她们觉得超重会显示她们自身缺乏毅力和自控力。另外肥胖的妇女也不符合现代美人的标准,而那些代表现代美人标准的时装模特和年轻的电影明星都是惊人的苗条。由此可知,选项C)“她们想追随现代美人的标准样子”与原文意思相符,故本题的正确答案为C)。 [避错说明] 根据相关句子的内容可见,选项A)“她们想成为模特”;选项B)“她们想成为电影明星”;选项D)“她们缺乏对毅力的控制”都与句意不符,都应排除。
3. Which of the following are the medical grounds for not being overweight?

Overweight people are particularly more likely to...increase their life expectancy.”从中可知,超重的人特别易患心脏病,容易因做体力活动而感到疲劳。减肥则可以使他们感觉更健康,并提高预期寿命。由此可知,本题的正确答案是D)。 [避错说明] 选项A)、B)、C)几乎是对上面一段意思的重复,即它们都是不应超重的医学依据但又不够全面。对这样的细节题应仔细阅读,不要漏选。
4. Some women lose weight by ______.
A.refusing to eat
B.overeating
C.getting rid of their happiness

A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为推断题。本题问:一些妇女靠做什么进行减肥?从最后一段中的句子“there are women who unnecessarily lose weight in order to conform to a model of social acceptability. Some of the mend up by starving themselves to death!”可知,为了能被社会更多地接受,有些妇女进行不必要的减肥,有些甚至挨饿而死。由此可以推断,有些妇女是靠节食来减肥的,即refuse to eat。所以本题的正确答案是A)。 [避错说明] 根据相关句子的内容可见,选项B)“过度饮食”;选项C)“剥夺她们的快乐”;选项D)“摆脱心脏病”都不是妇女们减肥的方法手段,与原文意思不符,可排除。

B
[解析] 本题为推断题。本题问:作者对一些妇女不理智减肥的做法持怎样的态度?从文章的最后一句“So for these women, perhaps it might be wiser to try to remove their unhappiness than to try to remove the fat”可知,对这些妇女来说,使她们摆脱因担心肥胖而引起的不快乐,比减掉她们的脂肪可能要更理智。根据句意可推断出,作者认为她们的减肥是不理智的,并对其持反对态度。故本题的正确答案是B)。 [避错说明] 根据文章内容判定,选项A)“赞同的”;选项C)“中立的”;选项D)“未提到”,都与原文内容不符,可排除。
