【參考譯文】
新年假期會很快成為遙遠(yuǎn)的回憶，而對很多人來說，新年的減肥計(jì)劃也會很快被拋之腦后。調(diào)查顯示，盡管有260萬人在新年第一天開始節(jié)食，但在該星期結(jié)束時(shí)，已有92%的節(jié)食減肥者放棄，[36]不再運(yùn)動。而且開始大吃大喝。
減重中心XLS醫(yī)院[37]發(fā)布的這項(xiàng)調(diào)查結(jié)果表明，[38]大多數(shù)人都無法在制定節(jié)食減肥計(jì)劃的一周內(nèi)堅(jiān)持五天以上。五分之一的節(jié)食減肥者[39]承認(rèn)自己在第四五天的時(shí)候就堅(jiān)持不住了，他們提到的主要原因是饑餓。單調(diào)乏味和酒精的刺激[40]也讓他們無法堅(jiān)持瘦身計(jì)劃。
國家肥胖論壇醫(yī)療主任馬特·凱普霍恩博士[4l]強(qiáng)調(diào)說，僅僅一天不堅(jiān)持節(jié)食就會毀掉一周的努力。他告訴《女士優(yōu)先》雜志說：“健康的節(jié)食是一星期減去1磅，這需要一周內(nèi)減少3500卡路里的攝取，而一天減少500卡路里的攝取即可。”“一天不節(jié)食應(yīng)該意味著你攝入正確的食量，而很多節(jié)食者卻把它當(dāng)做大吃大喝的理由，攝取的卡路里數(shù)量比需要的多出好幾千。”
調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，有[42]多達(dá)59萬人可能已經(jīng)[43]放棄了新年減肥計(jì)劃。而且還有很多人不清楚一天不堅(jiān)持節(jié)食對其減肥計(jì)劃有何負(fù)面影響。然而[44]總的來說，僅有5%的女性能堅(jiān)持到最后，直到[45]達(dá)到目標(biāo)體重。
【答案解析】
36.E
語法判斷：exercise后是and，而and前后應(yīng)為并列結(jié)構(gòu)(又稱平行結(jié)構(gòu))，因?yàn)閍nd后為gorging on comfortfood，所以前面也應(yīng)當(dāng)是現(xiàn)在分詞短語，因此應(yīng)填入現(xiàn)在分詞。備選項(xiàng)中只有shunning是現(xiàn)在分詞，因此答案很明確。
語義判斷：shun：(故意或習(xí)慣地)避免;回避，躲開。從語義上判斷也是正確的。
37.G
語法判斷：此處應(yīng)為定語來修飾fmdings，后為by，而過去分詞既表示被動又可用作后置賓語，所以此處應(yīng)填入過去分詞。
語義判斷：備選的過去分詞或過去式有reached、highlighted、blamed、released、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、failed，但從上下文語義判斷，意思應(yīng)為：由減重中心XLS醫(yī)院發(fā)布的調(diào)查或研究結(jié)果，所以應(yīng)選擇released。
38.N
語法判斷：空格前的the是冠詞，空格后的majority是名詞，因此應(yīng)當(dāng)填入定語。
語義判斷：符合語法條件的詞有很多：massive、reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、overall、vast、failed，而avastmajority是個(gè)近乎固定的搭配，意為“大多數(shù)”，故本題選N。
39.J
語法判斷：此句缺謂語，后接一個(gè)省略了that的賓語從句�？勺髦^語的選項(xiàng)有reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、failed，根據(jù)文章，可知只有admitted符合。
語義判斷：該句意為：五分之一的節(jié)食減肥者承認(rèn)自己在第四五天的時(shí)候就堅(jiān)持不住了。
40.I
語法判斷：此句主、謂、賓都不缺，而空格出現(xiàn)在were和blamed之間，所以應(yīng)為狀語，因而應(yīng)填入副詞。
語義判斷：備選的副詞有still、also和overall，上文提到了饑餓是人們放棄減肥的原因之一，而此處提到單調(diào)乏味和酒精的刺激也是讓人們放棄減肥的原因，因而從語義上判斷，只有also符合上下文意。
41.C
語法判斷：此句缺謂語，應(yīng)填入動詞，其后接賓語從句。
語義判斷：備選的動詞有reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、treated、dieted、failed，但從上下文語義判斷，此處意思應(yīng)為：國家肥胖論壇醫(yī)療主任馬特·凱普霍恩博士強(qiáng)調(diào)說，僅僅一天不堅(jiān)持節(jié)食就會毀掉一周的努力。highlighted符合此處語法和語義的要求。
42.A
語法判斷：a和590，000之間應(yīng)該是形容詞。
語義判斷：備選的形容詞還有massive和overall，從上下文語義判斷massive應(yīng)為正確選擇。
43.O
語法判斷：could already have后應(yīng)為過去分詞。
語義判斷：備選的過去分詞有reached、blamed、lost、treated、dieted、failed。從上下文語義判斷，此處的意思應(yīng)為：調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，有多達(dá)59萬人可能已經(jīng)放棄了新年減肥計(jì)劃。因而failed是語法判斷和語義判斷后的最佳選擇。
44.M
語法判斷：此句主、謂、賓完整，應(yīng)填入副詞。
語義判斷：備選的副詞還有still和overall。overall意為“總體上，總的來說”，符合此處的語法和語義要求。
45.B
語法判斷：空格前面是they’ve，故后面應(yīng)接過去分詞。
語義判斷：空格后為targetweight(目標(biāo)體重)，故按照語義和固定的搭配來進(jìn)行判斷，應(yīng)為reached，即“達(dá)到目標(biāo)體重”。
