考研英语每日一练2016.2.16
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.

1.【答案】D
【解析】come up to的意思是“等于,达到”,catch up to的意思是“赶上,跟上”,confront的意思是“遭遇,面临”,不能和up to搭配,face up to表示“勇敢地对付(或接受)”。本句中的them指的是前面提到的responsibilities,所以选face up to,D是正确答案。
2.【答案】B
【解析】resistance意思是“抵抗,反抗”,reluctance意思是“不愿,勉强”,persistence意思是“坚持”,existence意思是“存在”。根据上下文,大多数人承担的责任比自己愿意承担的多,但这无法改变他们迟早要承担更多责任的事实。由此可见在责任面前,人们无法抵制,而是不情愿。所以作者说这也许正是在越来越多的责任面前人们不乐意的原因,正确选项为B。
3.【答案】C
【解析】 Exact意思是“准确的,精确的”,external意思是“外部的”,extra意思是“额外的”,extensive意思是“广泛的”。从上文的意思可以判断正确选项为C。本句意思是每天要做的事情已经很多,何必再额外增加负担?
4.【答案】A
【解析】这是一个强调句,被强调的主语是defeatist mentality,所以只能选A。
5.【答案】C
【解析】本文主旨是鼓励人们通过合理的饮食和体育锻炼来提高生活的整体质量。food指具体某种食物,不能概括天天饮食,nutrition的意思是“营养”,diet是“日常饮食,平时营养”,recreation指“消遣,娱乐”。待选项与exercise(体育锻炼)构成并列,根据句子意思,C是最合适的答案。本句意思是:很遗憾,正是这种失败主义者的心理使人们不想通过合理的饮食和体育锻炼来提高生活质量。
6.【答案】B
【解析】set in意思是“开始”,put in意思是“花费,付出(时间、精力等)”,get in意思是“加入,收割”,cut in意思是“插嘴”。后面的名词是necessary work,合适的搭配选项应是put in,正确答案为B。
7.【答案】A
【解析】along the way表示“在…的过程中”,by the way意思为“在途中,附带说说”,on the way意思是“来到,接近,在进行中”,in the way为“挡道的,妨碍人的”之意。根据句子意思,正确答案是A。这句话的意思是合理饮食和体育锻炼换来的身体健康值得坚持过程中所做的任何牺牲。
8.【答案】D
【解析】reason是“原因”,question是“问题”,doubt是“怀疑”,excuse是“借口”。前两段都是在说明人们为什么不愿为坚持合理饮食和体育锻炼付出额外的努力,question和doubt可以首先排除,而excuse比reason更准确,不能坚持合理饮食、体育锻炼只能是人们的借口,而不是正常理由,所以选D。
9.【答案】C
【解析】take a chance的意思是“冒险,投机”,take the effort to do sth. 的意思是“花精力去做某事”,take the time to do sth. 为固定说法,意思是“花时间去做某事”,take interest后面不能搭配不定式。后面那句话提到去麦当劳当然比自己做饭省时间,可见此处强调时间,所以答案为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”。根据句子的意思,plant更形象贴切,本句意思是下班后一动不动地窝在沙发里或者去和朋友喝几杯当然比锻炼身体轻松多了。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“汉堡包”。本句没有特指哪一餐,所以正确答案为C。 12.【答案】B 【解析】pride为“骄傲,自豪”之意,confidence是“信心,自信”,enthusiasm意思是“激情”,inspiration则为“灵感”。只有体形健美的人才敢在海滩上go shirtless(光着上身走),啤酒肚不大有这样的信心。成天在电视机前不断换频道、贪杯嗜食的人胆固醇不可能低,也没信心go shirtless on the beach。所以正确答案为B。
13.【答案】C
【解析】long-time的意思是“(已持续)长时间的”,long-range是“(决定、计划等)长远的,长期的”,long-term是“长期的”,long-distance是“长途的”。本句的意思是这些益处需要付出长期的努力,所以选C。
14.【答案】C
【解析】additional意思是“附加的,额外的”,emotional意思是“情绪的,情感的”,occasional意思是“偶尔的”,sensational意思是“激起强烈感情的,令人兴奋的”。根据句子意思,应该选occasional,这句话的意思是我并不是说偶尔到城里作乐或是去五星级饭店吃一顿都不可以。正确答案为C。
15.【答案】A
【解析】place,position和location都有“位置”之意,attraction为“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。到镇子上一夜狂欢或是去饭店吃饭也是生活中不可缺少的成分。所以正确答案为A。
16.【答案】A
【解析】这四个词都有“部分”的意思,而share强调“(某人应得或应负担的)一部分”,所以更为准确,正确答案是A。
17.【答案】C
【解析】四个词都与吃饭有关,根据上下文可知这里指的是到饭店美餐,而不是家中普通的一日三餐,dining更合适,答案为C。
18. 【答案】B
【解析】short-dated指“(票据等)短期的”,short-lived指“短暂的”,short-legged意思是“腿短的”,short-tempered意思是“急性子的”。根据上下文,被选词应当与permanent(永远的,永久的)是反义词,所以选short-lived,B是正确答案。
19.【答案】C
【解析】coherence意思是“一致,协调”,experience意思是“经验,经历”,adherence意思是“遵守,坚持”,remembrance意思是“回想,记忆”。这四个选项中只有adherence能和to搭配,因此C是正确选项。
20.【答案】B
【解析】in a word意思是“总之”,in the end意思是“最终,结果”,in the future意思是“将来”,in a nutshell意思是“简括地说”。这句话是将short-lived pleasures和permanent adherence to a regular workout and a healthy diet对提高生活质量的作用进行比较,强调最终的结果,所以in the end为合适选项,正确答案为B。。
