文中介绍了四种保持健康的方法：锻炼、合理饮食、控制体重和注意心理健康。1．解析：本空是段首句，本段主要讲锻炼的好处和锻炼的方式，因此本空应选F项“有规律的锻炼对身体健康是绝对必要的”。答案：F2．解析：本空后面一句讲的是锻炼的方式：可以是跳舞，也可以是散步，只要你愿意定期地去做。由此反推本空选E项“选择一种你喜欢的锻炼方式是有帮助的”。答案：E3．解析：本空是段尾句，该段讲的是“要想拥有健康的生活，养成良好的饮食习惯是有必要的”。空前提到不要吃垃圾食品和高糖高盐及没有太大营养价值的加工食品，B项“但不要不吃早餐”，承接上文，且符合段落主旨。答案：B4．解析：本段讲的是控制体重。本空后面内容讲到了“注意你吃的食物的数量和种类，记住不吃夜宵。确保锻炼是你日常计划的一部分”。因此C项“饮食和锻炼在控制体重方面起着最重要的作用”符合语境。答案：C5．解析：本段内容主要有关心理方面，空后讲到将活动限制在最重要的几个上面，全力去做，操劳过度会带给自己压力或者使人泄气，因此选项应该与承担的事物相关，故A项“不要负担太多”引领下文内容，符合语境。答案：AⅢ.语法填空Lastweekend，sistersKerryMaggardandDebEggerswerescheduledtoflyfromMinneapolistoSouthDakotatogototheiraunt'sbirthdayparty，buttheirflight1.____________(cancel)duetoweatherconditions.Feelingliketheyhadnootheroptions，KerrycontactedUberindesperation，not2.____________(expect)anyonefromtherideserviceappwouldagreetomakesuchalongjourneytotheMinnesotanursinghome，3.____________thepartywastobeheld.Unexpectedly，whenKerryrequestedtheUber，herprayerwasquicklyansweredbyaman4.____________(name)JesusFlorentino，whohasbeendrivingfortherideservicefornearlythreeyears.Fourhourslater，thesisters5.____________(make)ittotheiraunt'spartyinFlorentino'scar.Afterdroppingoffthesisters，Florentinomadethe200milereturntrip.Nobodyneeded6.____________ridebacktoMinneapolis，sohehadtospendthenextfourhoursallby7.____________(he)．ThesistersreallyappreciatedJesus'kindnessand8.____________(consider)．KerryevensharedtheirexperiencewiththeUberdriveronlineand9.____________(public)thankedhim.TheUberdriverwasjusthappythatthesistersgotthereintime.“Anyone10.____________mypositionwouldhavedonethesame，”hesaid.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。一对姐妹急着去200英里外的姑姑家参加姑姑的生日宴，优步网约车司机JesusFlorentino接到了这个订单，将她们安全地送到了目的地。1．解析：主语flight是谓语动词动作的承受者，故用被动语态；这里说的是过去发生的事，故用一般过去时。答案：wascanceled\n2．解析：notexpectinganyonefromtherideserviceappwould...是现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随情况，分词动作与逻辑主语Kerry之间是主动关系。答案：expecting3．解析：修饰先行词theMinnesotanursinghome，关系词在定语从句中作状语，故填where。答案：where4．解析：分析句子结构可知，此处应用过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰aman。答案：named5．解析：这里说的是过去发生的事，故用一般过去时。答案：made6．解析：这里表示泛指，故用不定冠词，且ride的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。答案：a7．解析：byoneself表示“独自地，单独地”。答案：himself8．解析：空格中所填单词与and前的kindness为并列关系，故填consider的名词形式。答案：consideration9．解析：空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词，故填public的副词形式。答案：publicly10．解析：inone'sposition表示“在某人的位置”。答案：in
