Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從A—G七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳答案。有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
According to statistics published by the University of Scranton, about 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year's resolutions—and the most popular resolution is losing weight. Of those who make resolutions, a mere 8 percent achieve them.
Are we just setting ourselves up for failure? Learn how to make realistic resolutions and how to overcome the roadblocks along the way.
Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn't a goal that's achievable now. It may be a good long-term goal. Registered dietitian Elisa Zied says “… to be real when you make a resolution. It's okay to shoot for the stars like making a resolution, but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?”
The same concept applies to weight loss. These goals should help develop healthy habits that will finally help achieve your long-term resolution.
Notice that these goals are simple and achievable. “Instead of going from zero to 60, from never going to the gym to going four to five times a week, why not start with three days a week, get consistent and build from there,” Zied says. Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active.
You also need to be aware of your current exercise and eating habits to make achievable goals. Keeping a diary of your food and exercise habits can help. Record everything you eat and drink for three to five days and review it. For example, if you notice a tendency to snack on unhealthy fare, set a goal to eat a fruit or vegetable with each snack. Building on these smaller goals over time can help you achieve your long-term goal.
A. So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?
B. Once you notice your not-so-good habits, start fixing them.
C. Set between one and three weekly goals that you want to achieve.
D. Resolutions usually involve a commitment to sticking to your goals.
E. However, in order to reach it, you need to take baby steps to get it down.
F. If you treat your goals like set appointment, you're more likely to achieve them.
G. Losing weight, as well as getting a better job, is among the most popular resolutions for adults.

Answer 1

【答案】A；E；C；F；B
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，分析了很多人設(shè)立了減肥的目標(biāo)，大部分人都失敗了的原因。
（1）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)第一段中的”O(jiān)f those who make resolutions, a mere 8 percent achieve them.“可知在這些做出決定的人中，只有百分之八的人實(shí)現(xiàn)了目標(biāo)。也就是說(shuō)能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)目標(biāo)的人很少，橫線應(yīng)該和后一句Are we just setting ourselves up for failure?都是對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象提及質(zhì)疑。故A項(xiàng)“So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?”為什么如此多的人無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)？符合這兩段的串聯(lián)。故選A。
（2）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上文“Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn't a goal that's achievable now. It may be a good long-term goal.”可知下定決心減肥并不是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在就能實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)，也許會(huì)是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期的目標(biāo)。也就是說(shuō)要一步一步地實(shí)現(xiàn)它。故E項(xiàng)“However, in order to reach it, you need to take baby steps to get it down.”可知要想實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)要一步一步地來(lái)。故E正確。
（3）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前一段中的“It's okay to shoot for the stars like making a resolution, but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?”說(shuō)明作者建議我們把大目標(biāo)分解成小目標(biāo)。而橫線前句The same concept applies to weight loss.說(shuō)明同樣的方法也適用于減肥。那么橫線句就應(yīng)該是指把大目標(biāo)分解成小目標(biāo)的句子。故C項(xiàng)“Set one to three weekly goals that you want to achieve.”正確。
（4）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上文”Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active.“告訴我們要通過(guò)和自己做約定來(lái)讓自己更積極，并積極籌劃過(guò)程。橫線句應(yīng)該是指要通過(guò)約束自己來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。故F項(xiàng)“If you treat your goals like set appointment, you're more likely to achieve them.”正確。
（5）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上文”Record everything you eat and drink for three to five days and review it.“記錄自己三到五天吃喝的東西，然后再?gòu)?fù)習(xí)檢查一下。如果有問(wèn)題就立刻修改。所以B項(xiàng)“Once you notice your not-so-good habits, start fixing them.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。
