Question

【題目】It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (鬧鐘) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.

So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

試題分析：本文講述了作者堅持鍛煉和拒絕某些食物，這引起別人的不解，但是我繼續(xù)堅持，因為作者希望能提高自信，最重要的是改善體形。

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話It’s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.可知，作者臉上的微笑不是因為DVD的結(jié)束，而是因為一種成功的微笑，因為自己挑戰(zhàn)了身體的極限。故選B。

【2】A 推理判斷題。從別人看到我跑步穿過城鎮(zhèn)搖頭；當(dāng)別人給我可口食物我拒絕接受時，他們感到驚訝，可以看出他們不明白我要做什么。故選A。

【3】D 詞義猜測題。我能夠每天早上很早起床鍛煉，抵御住美味的誘惑，需要堅定的信念和意志力。故選D。

【4】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的…above all improves my body shape.可知，作者加強鍛煉，克制飲食的主要目的是為了保持一個好的體形。故選A。
