LA這句話正是文章第一段的意思。圣誕節(jié)大吃大喝，新年一開始人們就開始設法減肥，并

消除在過去幾周里吃下了不利健康的有毒物質的疑慮。

2.B文章里講到解讀飲食甚至有危險，有可能使孕婦和正在長身體的青少年營養(yǎng)不足，不

過這個情況并沒有真正發(fā)生。

3.B這句話的前半句是對的，英美兩國都缺乏典型的飲食：但后半句話不對，造成這種情

況的原因兩國不同，英國是工業(yè)化的結果，美國則是移民國家的結果。

4.A在文章的倒數(shù)第三段里講的很清楚。

5.C文章中沒有提及東方文化的情況。

6.A答題依據(jù)在倒數(shù)第二段，解讀飲食容易到西方人的追捧，因為他們對自己吃的東西已

經(jīng)失去信心。但反過來說，解讀飲食可能有助于重新向人們介紹那些對一種健康的飲食

來說是必要的食物。

7.B答題依據(jù)在最后一段里，食品工業(yè)并不希望人們都吃健康食品，因為先把有問題的不

健康的食品賣給大家吃，然后再把解決問題的飲食方式推銷給大家，食品工業(yè)可以兩邊

都盈利。

7.ChrisDildywillvoteforHillary.

A.RightB.WrongC.Notmentioned

答案與題解：

LA句子說的是：迄今為止在美國沒有一個女人選舉為總統(tǒng)。選A。文章的第一個句子是

這么說的：Backin1969,USPresidentRichardNixonconfidentlypredicted:"Inthenext

50years,weshallseeawomanpresident,perhapssoonerthanyouthink.”早在1969年，

美國總統(tǒng)RichardNixon很有信心地預測：“在下一個五十年里，我們將會看見一個

女總統(tǒng)，或許比我們想的要快些?！?/p>

2.C句子說的是：BillClinton將強力支持Hillary參加2008年總統(tǒng)選舉。文章沒有提到。

因此選C

3.B句子說的是：美國人民在2008年將選一位女總統(tǒng)，這個命題是錯的。文章第四段是

這么說的:However,acceptingthetheoreticalnotionofafemaleleaderisquitedifferent

fromvotinganactualwoman.Infact,thereisstillwidespreaddistrustofawomaninthe

topposition.然而，接受女總統(tǒng)作為?個理論概念跟選舉女總統(tǒng)是兩回事。事實上，人

們?nèi)匀黄毡椴恍湃闻四苋晤I袖的。

4.C句子說的是：Hillary的個競選許諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度。文章講到女人做教育和

醫(yī)療方面的工作有優(yōu)勢，但沒說Hillary的一個競選許諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度。

5.A句子說的是：德國去年選了一個女總理。文章第七段有這么一句話：Lastyear,

GermanymadeAngelaMerkelitsfirstfemalechancellor.去年，德國選舉了Angela

Merkel為德國第一位女總理。因此句子表達的命題是正確的。

6.C句子說的是：Hillary已經(jīng)籌集到了一大筆競選款。文章沒有提到。

7.B句子說的是：ChrisDildy要投Hillary的票。從文章的最后一句話我們知道Chris

Dildy是一個計算機工程專業(yè)的學生，他說了這么一句話：Ifwewerenotinthiswar,I

wouldsupportawomanpresident.如果我們不在打一場戰(zhàn)爭，我會支持選一位女總統(tǒng)

的。意思就是說，現(xiàn)在不支持。

7.Ronaldinhooftengoestopubs.

A.RightB.WrongC.Notmentioned

答案與題解：

l.A句子說的是：追星族們對時裝模特兒的身材的要求很苛刻。這個命題是對的。文章的

第一-個句子是這么說的：Thesedays,fashionmodelsandpopstarsarenottheonlypeople

whohavetowatchtheirwaistline.現(xiàn)在，不知是時裝模特兒和流行歌曲歌星需要注意他

們的腰圍了。當然這個句子還蘊涵著其他人也要注意自己的身材。

2.C句子說的是：比起流行歌曲歌星來，人們更喜歡球星。文章沒有提到。

3.B句子說的是：Ronaldinho是一個知名度很高的西班牙球星。這個命題是錯的，第二段

有這樣—"b句子：LastFriday,aSpanishsportsdailypublishedtwophotosofthe

Brazilianstarwithouthisshirt.上星期五，一家西班牙運動日報刊登了巴西球星的兩張

光著膀子的照片。這就說明Ronaldinho是巴西球星，而不是西班牙球星。

4.B句子說的是：巴西總統(tǒng)并不關心Ronaldo的身材。這個命題是錯的。差不多在文章的

中間有這么?個問題："Ishe[Ronaldo]fatornot?"（他[Ronaldo]胖還是不胖？）這是巴

西總統(tǒng)提的。

5.A句子說的是：根據(jù)CarlosAlbertoParreira的說法，Ronaldo的體型變了。這個命題是

對的。他是這么說的：“他不再是孩子了，他的體型變了。”

6.A句子說的是：足球運動對球員有很高的要求。這個命題是對的。文章的倒數(shù)第三段有

詳細的說明。

7.C句子說的是：Ronaldinho常去酒館。文章沒有提到。

利己又利人，并使自己動手，自給自足成為IKEA的一個特色。

5.C時間狀語從句告訴我們這里要講的是Ingvar小時候的事情，文章的第?段就說了

從小就會做買賣。

6.A這句的后半句說IKEA幾年以后才變成一家專營家具的公司，前半句很可能講它

原因。

8.B這句先給了原因，即平板包裝對雙方來說都省錢，那么結果便是雙方都歡迎。
