二、阅读理解：根据文章内容，完成选择题。

（共50分）
It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?
Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally
paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.
There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.
Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.
(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.

反馈
答案： 1. A 2. B 3. A 4. C 5. C
解析：
1．本题是一道指代题。

首先定位zaftig一词在文章第一段的位置，然后再结合该句，看该句的前一句notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members.注意到所有的人都是健康、汗流浃背、很瘦的人。

Zaftig（丰满的）应该与这些单词的句意相反, 所以可以猜出该词与身体状况有关，而且是个贬义词。

与选项中fat（胖的）意思最为接近。

故A为正确答案。

2. 本题是一道推理题。

文章前二段的第一句分别为It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. 即健身房让过度肥胖的人感到沮丧。

和Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining
workout classes of while exercising 很多人对于身体的肥胖自我意识很强，所以往往与参加健身训练班的人格格不入。

这两句分别代表了前两段的主旨，而选项B. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industry句意为：过度肥胖的人通常感到沮丧和被传统健身业所拒之门外。

故B为正确答案。

3.本题是一道细节推理题。

首先在题干中找到关键词，training goal训练目标。

然后对应在文章第四段找到第一次出现的goal一词，Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). 你甚至不用知道functional fitness（功能性健身）一词到底指什么，也能明白选项A正好可以与这句话对应上。

故A为正确答案。

4.本题是一道细节判断题。

从题干中可以得知，该题是反向选择，即选出不正确的说法。

从倒数第二段中，我们可以得知，特殊的健身房为了降低过度肥胖者健身时的焦虑，采取了一系列措施，The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.即健身设备特意加大号，不放镜子，用有色窗户保护隐私等。

显然C选项说在墙上有大镜子是不对的。

故C是正确答案。

5. 本题是一道主旨题。

A选项是说，通过锻炼提高妇女的自信。

B选项是说，传统的健身业正在失去它的顾客。

C选项是说，为过度肥胖的人群专门设计的健身房。

而通篇的关键词是overweight和gym, 故C是正确答案。

— I wonder if you could practice interviewing with me in advance.
选择一项：
A. What can I do for you?
B. Would you tell me a little bit about yourself?
C. What are you good at?
反馈
你的回答正确
解析：本题考核“讨论面试”情况下的交际用语。

第一说话人想让对方帮助自己提前演练一下面试的场景，所以问句应该问“我能帮你做些什么”？正确答案是选项“What can I do for you?”.
