Responsibilities. We all have them; most of us have more than we’d like. That doesn’t change the reality that, sooner or later, we all have to 1 up to them. But perhaps it does explain our 2 to add to the ever-growing list. There’s already so much to do in a day, why tack on an 3 burden?
Unfortunately, it’s this kind of defeatist mentality 4 keeps people from enhancing their lives through proper 5 and exercise. Here is the salient point, though: The health and fitness benefits you’ll derive from 6 the necessary work are worth whatever sacrifices you must make 7 the way. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard the same 8 . Each time, I always give the same response: Yes, I say, working out is work. So is taking the 9 to eat right. 10 yourself on the couch or having drinks with friends after work is a lot easier than exercising, and hitting the McDonald’s drive-thru takes a lot less time than cooking a 11 at home. But channel surfing, margaritas and a Quarter Pounder With Cheese aren’t going to produce some of the things worth having--a low cholesterol level or the 12 to go shirtless on the beach. Those benefits demand a 13 effort. I'm not saying you should eschew the 14 night on the town or gourmet meal at a five-star restaurant. Both have their 15 and are components of a well-rounded life. I’ve enjoyed my 16 of revelry and fine 17 and look forward to those special opportunities to experience more of the good life. But I’ve managed to find a balance between those 18 .pleasures and a permanent 19 to a regular workout and a healthy diet. Because, 20 , it is the latter that will have a lasting improvement on the overall quality of my life.

Text 12答案
1. 【答案】D
【解析】come up to的意思是“等于,達到”,catch up to的意思是“趕上,跟上”,confront的意思是“遭遇,面臨”,不能和up to搭配,face up to表示“勇敢地對付(或接受)”。本句中的them指的是前面提到的responsibilities,所以選face up to,D是正確答案。
2. 【答案】B
【解析】resistance意思是“抵抗,反抗”,reluctance意思是“不愿,勉強”,persistence意思是“堅持”,existence意思是“存在”。根據(jù)上下文,大多數(shù)人承擔(dān)的責(zé)任比自己愿意承擔(dān)的多,但這無法改變他們遲早要承擔(dān)更多責(zé)任的事實。由此可見在責(zé)任面前,人們無法抵制,而是不情愿。所以作者說這也許正是在越來越多的責(zé)任面前人們不樂意的原因,正確選項為B。
3. 【答案】C
【解析】 Exact意思是“準(zhǔn)確的,精確的”,external意思是“外部的”,extra意思是“額外的”,extensive意思是“廣泛的”。從上文的意思可以判斷正確選項為C。本句意思是每天要做的事情已經(jīng)很多,何必再額外增加負擔(dān)?
4. 【答案】A
【解析】這是一個強調(diào)句,被強調(diào)的主語是defeatist mentality,所以只能選A。
5. 【答案】C
【解析】本文主旨是鼓勵人們通過合理的飲食和體育鍛煉來提高生活的整體質(zhì)量。food指具體某種食物,不能概括天天飲食,nutrition的意思是“營養(yǎng)”,diet是“日常飲食,平時營養(yǎng)”,recreation指“消遣,娛樂”。待選項與exercise(體育鍛煉)構(gòu)成并列,根據(jù)句子意思,C是最合適的答案。本句意思是:很遺憾,正是這種失敗主義者的心理使人們不想通過合理的飲食和體育鍛煉來提高生活質(zhì)量。
6. 【答案】B
【解析】set in意思是“開始”,put in意思是“花費,付出(時間、精力等)”,get in意思是“加入,收割”,cut in意思是“插嘴”。后面的名詞是necessary work,合適的搭配選項應(yīng)是put in,正確答案為B。
7. 【答案】A
【解析】along the way表示“在…的過程中”,by the way意思為“在途中,附帶說說”,on the way意思是“來到,接近,在進行中”,in the way為“擋道的,妨礙人的”之意。根據(jù)句子意思,正確答案是A。這句話的意思是合理飲食和體育鍛煉換來的身體健康值得堅持過程中所做的任何犧牲。
8. 【答案】D
【解析】reason是“原因”,question是“問題”,doubt是“懷疑”,excuse是“借口”。前兩段都是在說明人們?yōu)槭裁床辉笧閳猿趾侠盹嬍澈腕w育鍛煉付出額外的努力,question和doubt可以首先排除,而excuse比reason更準(zhǔn)確,不能堅持合理飲食、體育鍛煉只能是人們的借口,而不是正常理由,所以選D。
9. 【答案】C
【解析】take a chance的意思是“冒險,投機”,take the effort to do sth. 的意思是“花精力去做某事”,take the time to do sth. 為固定說法,意思是“花時間去做某事”,take interest后面不能搭配不定式。后面那句話提到去麥當(dāng)勞當(dāng)然比自己做飯省時間,可見此處強調(diào)時間,所以答案為C。
10. 【答案】B
【解析】throw oneself on的意思是“一下倒在”,plant有“使固定”的意思,sit是“坐,使就座”,place是“放置,安置,安排”。根據(jù)句子的意思,plant更形象貼切,本句意思是下班后一動不動地窩在沙發(fā)里或者去和朋友喝幾杯當(dāng)然比鍛煉身體輕松多了。答案是B。
11. 【答案】C
【解析】dish指某道菜,dinner是“正餐”,meal泛指一日三餐,hamburger是“漢堡包”。本句沒有特指哪一餐,所以正確答案為C。
12. 【答案】B
【解析】pride為“驕傲,自豪”之意,confidence是“信心,自信”,enthusiasm意思是“激情”,inspiration則為“靈感”。只有體形健美的人才敢在海灘上go shirtless(光著上身走),啤酒肚不大有這樣的信心。成天在電視機前不斷換頻道、貪杯嗜食的人膽固醇不可能低,也沒信心go shirtless on the beach。所以正確答案為B。
13. 【答案】C
【解析】long-time的意思是“(已持續(xù))長時間的”,long-range是“(決定、計劃等)長遠的,長期的”,long-term是“長期的”,long-distance是“長途的”。本句的意思是這些益處需要付出長期的努力,所以選C。
14. 【答案】C
【解析】additional意思是“附加的,額外的”,emotional意思是“情緒的,情感的”,occasional意思是“偶爾的”,sensational意思是“激起強烈感情的,令人興奮的”。根據(jù)句子意思,應(yīng)該選occasional,這句話的意思是我并不是說偶爾到城里作樂或是去五星級飯店吃一頓都不可以。正確答案為C。
15. 【答案】A
【解析】place,position和location都有“位置”之意,attraction為“吸引力”。have a place是固定搭配,意思是“有一席之地,起一定作用”的意思。到鎮(zhèn)子上一夜狂歡或是去飯店吃飯也是生活中不可缺少的成分。所以正確答案為A。
16. 【答案】A
【解析】這四個詞都有“部分”的意思,而share強調(diào)“(某人應(yīng)得或應(yīng)負擔(dān)的)一部分”,所以更為準(zhǔn)確,正確答案是A。
17. 【答案】C
【解析】四個詞都與吃飯有關(guān),根據(jù)上下文可知這里指的是到飯店美餐,而不是家中普通的一日三餐,dining更合適,答案為C。
18. 【答案】B
【解析】short-dated指“(票據(jù)等)短期的”,short-lived指“短暫的”,short-legged意思是“腿短的”,short-tempered意思是“急性子的”。根據(jù)上下文,被選詞應(yīng)當(dāng)與permanent(永遠的,永久的)是反義詞,所以選short-lived,B是正確答案。
19. 【答案】C
【解析】coherence意思是“一致,協(xié)調(diào)”,experience意思是“經(jīng)驗,經(jīng)歷”,adherence意思是“遵守,堅持”,remembrance意思是“回想,記憶”。這四個選項中只有adherence能和to搭配,因此C是正確選項。
20. 【答案】B
【解析】in a word意思是“總之”,in the end意思是“最終,結(jié)果”,in the future意思是“將來”,in a nutshell意思是“簡括地說”。這句話是將short-lived pleasures和permanent adherence to a regular workout and a healthy diet對提高生活質(zhì)量的作用進行比較,強調(diào)最終的結(jié)果,所以in the end為合適選項,正確答案為B。
