1.BritneySpearsisa/an______.

A.dancerB.singerC.athleteD.chemist

【答案与解析】答案B。

细节信息题。

从第1段的大写部分“…POPPRINCESSSPOTTEDATAIRPORTWITHPOTOFSLIMMINGTABLETS.”可以知道B选项是正确答案。

2.Whichofthefollowingisalsoakindofweight-losspill?

A.CVSB.RiteAidC.Wal-MartD.Anorex

【答案与解析】答案D。

细节信息题。

根据第1段的“Zantrex-3isalsosoldatCVS,RiteAid,Wal-Mart,andotherchains,”以及第2段的“…sodothepeoplewhosellStacker2andAnorexalongwiththosewhosellCarbEliminatorandFatEliminator.”可以知道D选项是正确答案。

3.Theunderlinedpartofthesentenceinthefirstparagraphismostlikelysimilarinmeaningto______.

A.itisdifficulttosayhowsuccessfulZantrex-3is

B.youcan’toverstatethesuccessofZantrex-3

C.youcan’tthinktoohighlyofthesuccessofZantrex-3

D.Zantrex-3isnotverysuccessful

【答案与解析】答案C。

理解句子结构及推测词义题。

从IthittheU.S.marketlastMarchandhashadasuccessthatwouldbehardtooverstate.的前半部分可以知道Zantrex-3是美国市场很畅销的减肥类商品；根据构词法可以知道后半部分的overstate有“夸张、夸大事实”的意思，而wouldbehardtooverstate可以理解为“难以夸张、夸大”的意思，因此划线部分的意思可以直译为“难以夸大/夸张的成功”或理解为“怎么夸张都不过份的成功”，C选项所含有的句型cannot…too亦是此意。

4.Fromthesecondparagraphweknowthat______.

A.Zantrex-3isoneofthesuccessfulweight-losspillsontheUSmarket

B.Zantrex-3isthemostsuccessfulweight-losspillsontheUSmarket

C.Zantrex-3istheonlyweight-losspillontheUSmarket

D.therearefivekindsofweight-losspillsontheUSmarket

【答案与解析】答案A。

从第2段的1、2、3句可以知道A选项是正确答案，其他选项均与文章的信息不一致。

5.Thetextmainlytellsus______.

A.whenBritneySpearswasfoundtakingweight-losspillswithher

B.howZantrex-3becamesuccessfulintheUSA

C.weight-losspillsareverypopularintheUSA

D.Zantrex-3isforbiddentobesoldontheUSmarket

【答案与解析】答案C。

A选项只包含了文章的部分信息；B选项侧重Zantrex-3获得成功的方式，而文章并没有这方面的信息；D选项与文章中的信息相反；从整体来看，文章是以Zantrex-3为引子，引出减肥或瘦身类商品当今在美国很流行的话题，即第1段是引入，第2段开始切入主题，第2段的第2句可以看做是主题句。

C选项与主题句的意思一致，因此应该是该题的答案。
