A．whoseB．itsC．whichD．that答案：B解析：此题关键是理解seated这个单词，它是过去分词，而不是作谓语的过去式。它不能在句中谓语。所以后面句子不是一个非限制性定语从句，而是一个独立主格结构，故选代词its。【标签】独立主格结构10.6.Asthereislessandlesscoalandoil,scientistsareexploringnewwaysofmakinguseof

C.haveahealthyandbalanceddiet

D.throwupsomeofwhattheyeat答案：1-5DBDCC解析：1.本题为细节题。根据文中第二段内容可知答案为D项。根据文中内容可知不吃某些种类的食品（是因为这些食物容易导致发胖，所以用其它食品代替）并不会导致饥饿。2.本题为细节题。文中第三段提到了一些人们开始减肥的原因，第四段又提到当他们减掉某些体重时会得到朋友和家人的赞扬，使他们感觉很好，因此会坚持一段时间。而B项所叙述内容只是用来列举某些人生活中有一些无法控制的事情，并不是他们减肥的原因。3.本题为词义猜测题。根据本句后面的buttheneattonsoffood以及最后一句中的Eatingtoolittletomaintainahealthyweight可知答案为D项。4.本题为细节判断题。从文中第一段可知人体每天所需要的能量要多于800卡路里，可知A项错误；再者该段说明脂肪占人体所消耗能量的30%，并没有说明所占数量最大，因此可排除D项；另外根据第二段可知面包只是属于某种类别的食物，因此B项叙述错误；根据最后一段可知正确答案为C项。5.本题为主旨大意概括题。根据全文内容可知即使减肥，为了身体所需也必须做到健康均衡饮食。因此正确答案为C项。27.Themanageraswellashiswholeteam_______determinedtodotheworkas_____as

C.suggeststheunhappypeopleshouldgetridofthehabitsofunhappiness

D.tellspeoplehowtobehappyinlife答案：46.D。47.B。48.C。49.A。50.C。解析：生活中有些人拥有相等的健康、财富和生活条件，但由于考虑事情、人物、事件的角度不同，一些人感到幸福，而另一些人则感到不幸福。由于这些不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，其结果只能是处于被孤立的境地。46.D。判断题。从第2段第4句话Thosewhoaretobeunhappythinkandspeakonlyoftheoppositethings可以看出另一些人为什么感到不幸福的原因。47.B。词义猜测题。从该短语后的…offend(hurt)manypeople,andmakethemselvesdisagreeableeverywhere可以猜出“sourthepleasureofsociety”的正确含义。48.C。判断题。从第2段中倒数第2句话Thehabitmaybestrong,butitmaybecured可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的脾性。49.A。判断题。从第3段中的倒数第2句话Iftheydonot(changethisbadhabit),itwillbegoodforotherstoavoidanycontact(接触)withthem可以看出作者的态度。50.C。主旨题。本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯。32.Inordertobeautifyourcity,______.答案：D33.—Didyoumoveintothenewhouse?
