Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times  1 , cost-conscious workouts（鍛煉）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed  2  by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as  3  boot camp（強力集中訓練） and circuit training.
"People are looking  4  for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little  5  time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this  6  year the majority of the respondents put  7  it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness  8  professionals responded to the annual poll  9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures  10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training  11  classes and in-home workouts  12  using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs  13  . Working with two to four clients at a  14  time they can charge less  15  but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn  16  calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受壓制的） consumers  17  seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up  18  in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong  19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase  20  in the coming year.

本文通過一項調查說明了錢左右著人們的健身方式。完成本完形填空時，我們應把生活中的金融危機這個實際和作者的思路邏輯聯(lián)系起來。
1. A 檢測名詞的含義辨析及準確理解應用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：在當下需要勒緊褲腰帶過日子的時期，人們將在家和健身房用省錢的方法健身列為首選，緊接著是如強力訓練和循環(huán)訓練這種更省時間的強化鍛煉方式。我們容易判斷出此處應該填上表示時期時代之意的名詞，這四個詞中只有A項（times：時代）有這樣的意思。BCD項依次分別所表達的意思是：數(shù)年，數(shù)世紀，社會，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故我們選擇A項為最佳答案。
2. B考查動詞過去分詞的含義理解及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上表示緊接著之意的動詞的過去分詞，用它來和by搭配，構成表示由……緊跟著，由……緊接著等這樣的意思，也即是B項（follow:跟在，跟著），而其余ACD項依次分別所表達的意思是：抓住，覆蓋，實施，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯及語境不相契合，故我們選擇B項為最佳答案。
3. C 檢測介詞短語的含義的準確記憶與理解英語。由第一題的分析我們很容易確定此處應該填上表示例如之意的介詞短語，也即是C項（such as :例如），而BD項依次分別所表達的意思是：換句話說，也就是說，其實它們兩個意思一樣，至于A項，根本就沒這樣的搭配，故C項為準確答案。
4. D考查動詞現(xiàn)在分詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。經過分析，語意是：人們一直在尋找能盡量少花時間、少花錢，達到最好的效果的方法。我們容易推理出此處應該填上表示尋找之意的動詞現(xiàn)在分詞，而A項和for搭配后，所表達的意思是：把……當做……，而其余BC兩項依次分別所表達的意思是：發(fā)展，打開，通常也不會和for搭配，再者即使搭配起來，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相適宜，顯得不倫不類，故我們選擇D項為最佳答案。
5. A 檢測形容詞的含義的準確記憶與理解辨析及在語言邏輯方面的合理應用。由上一題的分析我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)此處應該填上表示少之意的形容詞來修飾time，D項(少)的具有很大的迷惑性，但是它用來修飾可數(shù)名詞，而time(時間)是不可數(shù)名詞，故用A項來修飾。而其余BC兩項依次分別所表達的意思是：很多（修飾不可數(shù)名詞），很多（修飾可數(shù)名詞），這樣的意思和這兒要表達的意思剛好相反，當然不對了，故我們選擇A項為最佳答案。
6. C檢測指示代詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：去年，錢被列為需要考慮的因素，但今年大部分受訪者將其列為最重要的考慮因素之一，我們不難看出此處應該填上表示這之意的代詞，和year一起表示今年這樣的意思，也即是C項，而其余ABD項依次分別所表達的意思是：那個，下一個，先前的，很明顯放在這兒都都不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，也不能使句意通順，故我們選擇C項為最佳答案。
7. B 考查動詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上的詞應和后面的as一起構成動詞短語，并且表示把……歸為…….，把……列為……，之意，這四個詞中只有B項（put：放，擱置）有這樣的意思，而其余ACD三項依次分別所表達的意思是：管理，嘗試，組織，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相契合，故我們選擇B項為最佳答案。
8. D 檢測名詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：約600名經美國鍛煉協(xié)會認證的保健專業(yè)人士參與了這一年度調查。之所以是保健專業(yè)人士，是因為全文論述的都是人們花錢來鍛煉，當然是為了保持身體健康，對從事這樣專業(yè)的人士進行調查更具有意義，而其余ABC項依次分別所表達的意思是：藥，培訓，經濟，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故D項為準確答案。
9. A檢測名詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。 由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上表示調查之意的名詞，也即是A項，BCD項依次分別所表達的意思是：會議，觀察，接待，其中C項的具有很大的迷惑性，但是全文是建立在調查之上的，前文已經有了提示，故我們選擇A項為最佳答案。
10. A 檢測名詞的含義的準確記憶與理解辨析。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識（當人們沒有錢來進行高級而昂貴的鍛煉時，自然要轉向花費較少的鍛煉方式），我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：其他省錢辦法包括從個人課程轉為集體課，以及使用更小更便攜的器材在家鍛煉等也在調查的列表里。不難看出此處應該填上表示方式辦法之意的名詞，也即是B項，而其余ACD項依次分別所表達的意思是：進程，政策，系統(tǒng)，這些詞語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相吻合，故我們選擇A項為最佳答案。
11. B 檢測動名詞的含義的準確記憶與理解應用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出前面有私人培訓課程，那么此處應該填上表示小組培訓課程（training：培訓）之意的動名詞，也即是B項，而其余ACD項依次分別所表達的意思是：講話，鍛煉，處理，其中C項的具有很大的迷惑性，但是為了和前面的結構相一致，我們選擇B項為最佳答案。
12. B 檢測名詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。由第10題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上表示鍛煉之意的名詞，這四個詞中只有B項有這樣的意思，而其余ACD項依次分別所表達的意思是：工作，休息，比賽，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，故B項為準確答案。
13. C 檢測名詞的含義的準確記憶與理解及邏輯應用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識(私人培訓者因為少了培訓對象也得考慮自己的需求)，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：私人教練覺得必須針對市場需求形勢做出相應的回應，進行調整。我們容易確定此處應該填上表示需求之意的名詞，ABD項依次分別所表達的意思是：變化，價格，習慣，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，只有C項（need：需求）有這樣的意思，故C項為準確答案。
14. D 檢測名詞詞組的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。 聯(lián)系上下文的語境，由上一題的分析，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：他們可以一次同時輔導兩到四個客戶，這樣可以收較少的收費，但仍可以保證收入。顯然，此處應該和time一起構成短語并且表示一次之意，這四個詞中只有D項有這樣的意思。而其余ABC項依次分別和time搭配之后所表達的意思是：一段時間，沒有時間，任何時間，這些短語語所表示的意思都和這兒的語言邏輯不相契合，故我們選擇D項為最佳答案。
15. A 檢測形容詞比較級的含義的準確記憶與理解辨析應用。 由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上表示較少的之意的形容詞的比較級，并且代指錢，也即是A項，而其余BCD項依次分別所表達的意思是：較少的（代指可數(shù)名詞），較多的，很多的，其中B項的容易讓人上當，但是這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，故A項為準確答案。
16. B 考查動詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。經過分析，語意是：由于人們時間緊迫，耗時少、強度大的健身活動更受青睞，2010年最受歡迎的健身項目將是強力瘦身訓練和循環(huán)訓練，這兩種方式既可以燃燒脂肪，又可以增強力量和耐力。我們容易推理出此處應該填上表示燃燒之意的動詞，也即是B項，而其余ACD項依次分別所表達的意思是：生產，剪切，加上，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故B項為準確答案。
17. C 檢測名詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應該填上表示進行鍛煉的人們，其實就是這些鍛煉活動的消費者（C項：consumers），而其余ABD項依次分別所表達的意思是：專業(yè)人士，學生，培訓者，都不符合此處的上下文之間語言邏輯，故C項為準確答案。
18. A 考查動詞短語的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：健身類視頻游戲越來越多地出現(xiàn)在健康俱樂部和老人中心，不難看出此處應該填上表示出現(xiàn)之意的動詞詞組，這四個詞的意思分別依次是：變大或出現(xiàn)，變小或拒絕，轉身或繞過，結果是。看來只有A項有這樣的意思。故我們選擇A項為最佳答案。
19. C 檢測形容詞的含義的準確記憶與理解。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，及日常生活中的常識，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：以功能性訓練為目的的健身將繼續(xù)保持強勁勢頭，此處應該填上表示強勁之意的形容詞，這四個詞中只有C項有這樣的意思。而其余ABD項依次分別所表達的意思是：虛弱的，有用的，可能的，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故我們選擇C項為最佳答案。
20. C 考查動詞的含義辨析及在語言邏輯方面的準確應用。聯(lián)系上下文的語境，我們容易推理出這一句的語境是：此外，計算機跟蹤、在線訓練和排程工具的使用在來年也會增加。這四個詞中只有C項是增加之意的動詞。而其余ABD項依次分別所表達的意思是：減少，出現(xiàn)，想要，很明顯放在這兒都不能使句意通順，故我們選擇C項為最佳答案。

nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname also can be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help establish an identity, spread pride among citizens and build unity.
A few years ago, some marketing and advertising experts were asked to name the best nickname for an American city. The winner was the nation's largest city, New York. The top nickname was The Big Apple.
You might wonder how New York got this nickname. In the early nineteen seventies, the city had many problems. The number of visitors was falling. So a campaign was launched to give the city a new image. The head of the New York Conventions and Visitors Bureau decided to call the city, The Big Apple.
There are several explanations for where this name came from. Language expert Barry Popik studied the question and wrote about it on his Web site. He says John Fitz Gerald, a writer for a New York newspaper, used the name The Big Apple to mean New York in the nineteen twenties. Mister Fitz Gerald wrote about horse races. He heard the name used by men who worked at a racetrack in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Mister Fitz Gerald wrote: "The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There's only one Big Apple. That's New York."
In horse racing, the expression meant "the big time," the place where large amounts of money could be won. The Big Apple became the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City in nineteen thirty-four. It also was the name of a popular dance and a hit song in the nineteen thirties.
But it is not the only nickname for America's largest city. Barry Popik's web site lists almost one hundred nicknames that describe New York. The best known are The Capital of the World. Empire City. Gotham. The City So Nice They Named it Twice. And, The City That Never Sleeps. You can hear about the city in the song, "New York, New York," by Frank Sinatra.
小題1:Why do many American cities have nicknames?（回答詞數(shù)不超過15個）
小題2:What did John Fitz Gerald write about for the New York newspaper?（回答詞數(shù)不超過5個）
小題3:Besides “The Big Apple”, how many best known nicknames that describe New York are listed according to Barry Popik's web site?（回答詞數(shù)不超過2個）

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate(調查),how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
小題1:What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A．The tools he uses.B．His ways of learning.
C．The way he uses his tools.D．The various tools he use
小題2:“The scientist, however, goes one step further,” the author says this to show      。
A．the importance of information
B．the importance of thinking
C．the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D．the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.
小題3:A sound scientific theory should be one that      .
A．does not only work under one set of conditions at one time, but also works under the same conditions at other times
B．leaves no room for improvement
C．does not allow any change even under different conditions
D．can be used for many purposes
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B．The theory of relativity.
C．Exactness is the core（核心）of science.
D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.?
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the ?value? of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores,florists,candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.?

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence--- as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch（關鍵時刻）, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinct remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it even acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed（流血）, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement（執(zhí)行）. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

A. can’t get a hearing   B. are looked down upon 
C. are persecuted      D. have difficulty in advocating law enforcement
