　　1、【答案】[C] However

　　【解析】此处考察逻辑关系。首段提出文章中心：定期称量自己是一种了解任何显著的的体重波动的好方法。空格所在句指出：____，如果太频繁，这种习惯有时会造成损害。前文wonderful way(好方法)与后文hurt(损害)形成转折关系，故填入however(然而)。另外，however也是考研完形填空中的高频词。其他选项：therefore(因此)，otherwise(否则)和besides(此外)此处不符合语境，故正确答案为[C] However。

　　2、【答案】[D] helps

　　【解析】此处考察反义复现。空格所在句指出：this habit can sometimes hurt more than it ____(这种习惯的坏处要比____多)，应该是help(有帮助，有好处)，与前文hurt(损害)形成反义复现。其他选项：Cares(关心)，warns(警告)，reduces(减少，致使)均不能与hurt形成呼应，故正确答案为[D] helps。

　　3、【答案】[A] solely

　　【解析】此处考察同义复现+词义辨析。空格所在句指出：至于我，每天称自己的重量让我把注意力从保持健康和好动转移到____专注于体重秤。填入solely(仅仅)语义通顺。另外本句focusing solely on the scale中的solely(仅仅)与本段后文thinking only of ____ the number on the scale的only形成了同义复现。故正确答案为[A] solely。

　　4、【答案】[A] lowering

　　【解析】此处考察词义辨析+反义复现。空格所在句指出：我曾经以增加肌肉含量而增重，但后来只考虑____体重的数量，我改变了我的训练方案。填入lowering(减少)语义通顺。另外，该句中间有but，说明前后为转接。lower与前文gain weight(增重)形成反义复现，其他选项：explaining(解释)，accepting(接受)，recording(记录)均不符合文意。故正确答案为[A] lowering。

　　5、【答案】[C] reach

　　【解析】此处考察成分搭配和语义理解。空格所在句指出：这与我需要训练以____目标的方式相冲突。此处填入reach(达到)与goal(目标)形成动宾搭配，且语义通顺，表达连贯。其他选项：set(设定)，modify(修改)虽然可以与goal搭配，但文意不符;review(评论;温习)和goal不能形成搭配。故正确答案为[C] reach。

　　6、【答案】[A] depiction

　　【解析】此处考察词义辨析。分析空格处所在句的句意：我还发现，每天称体重并不能为我在健身房所做的努力以及取得的进步，提供精确的____，空格处所需的名词需要使句子完整通顺。A选项depiction (描写，叙述)符合语义要求;B选项distribution(分布，分配)，C选项prediction(预言，预测)，D选项definition(定义)带入空格后，语义不通顺，均排除。故正确答案为A选项depiction。

　　7、【答案】[D] due to

　　【解析】此处考察短语辨析。空格所在句的句意：需要大约三周到一个月的时间来发现体重的显著变化，_____改变了你的训练计划。空格处所填入的短语需要和前面句子构成因果的逻辑关系，只有D选项due to(由于)符合要求;A选项regardless of(不管，不顾)，B选aside from(除...以外)，C选项along with(与...一起，连同)带入后，语义不通顺。故正确答案为[D]due to。

　　8、【答案】[C] immediate

　　【解析】此处考察词义辨析。分析空格处所在句的句意：最____的改变将会体现在技能水平，力量和身高降低，空格处所需的形容词需要和后面的宾语change构成语义搭配，并且适合语境。C选项immediate(立即的，直接的)符合语义要求;A选项rigid(严格的)，B选项precise(精确的)，D选项orderly(有秩序的)带入空格后，语义不通顺，均排除。故正确答案为C选项immediate。

　　9、【答案】[B] reasons

　　【解析】此处考察固定搭配。for these reasons由于这些原因。空格所在句指出：由于这些原因(上文提到的原因)，我停止每天称体重。只有B选项reasons(原因)符合要求;A选项judgments(判断)，C选methods(方法，方式)，D选项claims(要求，索赔)带入后，语义不通顺。故正确答案为[B]reasons。

　　10、【答案】[D] instead

　　【解析】此处考察词义辨析以及上下文语境分析。空格所在句的前半部分指出：由于上述原因，我停止每天称体重。后半句话句意：而转而改用两个月称一次体重。switched to转而....与选项instead对应。D选项instead (代替，反而)符合语义要求;A选项though(虽然，尽管)，B选项again(又，再一次)，C选项indeed(的确，实在)带入空格后，语义不通顺，均排除。故正确答案为D选项instead

　　11、【答案】A. track

　　【解析】空格所在句提到：Since weight loss is not my goal(因为减重不是我的目的)，it is less important for me to ____my weight each week(对我来说，每周___我的体重不太重要)。空格处所填入的动词需要和后面的宾语my weight构成通顺的动宾语义搭配，除此之外，本文的主题是称重，因此需要观察、监测或跟踪体重的变化，因此只有A选项track符合语义与主题要求。

　　12、【答案】C. account for

　　【解析】空格所在句提到：Weighing every other week allows me to observe and _____any significant weight changes(每隔一周称次体重使我能够观察及____任何明显的体重变化)，空格处所填入的动词需和后面的宾语weight changes构成通顺的动宾搭配;同时，该动词还和observe构成并列关系，并列的动词会存在动作先后发生的特点(先观察到体重变化，再来了解或解释体重变化的原因)，因此只有C选项account for(解释，了解)更恰当。

　　13、【答案】B. adjust

　　【解析】空格所在处提到：That tells me whether I need to ____my training program(那告诉我，我是否需要____我的训练项目)。空格处所填动词需要和后面的宾语training program 构成顺畅的动宾语义关系;除此之外，that指代上文中“观察并了解体重变化”，因此此处应该表明，观察并了解体重变化能让我知道是否需要调整训练项目。因此B选项adjust符合要求。

　　14、【答案】D. results

　　【解析】空格处所在句提到：I use my bimonthly weigh-in____to get information about my nutrition as well(我根据两个月称重一次的___来获得关于我的营养方面的信息)。空格处所填名词需和bimonthly weigh-in构成顺畅的语义关系，空格处上文提到“两个月称重一次可以观察并了解任何明显的体重变化”，因此空格处应该表示“称重结果”，故D选项results为正确答案。

　　15、【答案】B. hungry

　　【解析】空格处提到：if.......I am constantly____and dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake(如果。。。我持续___以及体重下降，那么这是一个标志表明我需要增加日常卡路里摄入)，根据条件状从和主句的条件与结果的逻辑关系，空格处填入“hungry(饥饿)”更符合语义要求。

　　16、【答案】[C] sign 【试题考点】上下文语义衔接+名词辨析

　　【解析】空格之前的“this”指代前面if引导的条件状语从句“如果我运动量保持不变，但总是觉得饿并且体重下降”，空格后面that引导的定语从句“我需要增加每日卡路里的摄取”,根据前后语义，此空填sign“信号”最合理。

　　17、【答案】[B] decision 【试题考点】上下文语义衔接

　　【解析】空格后动词不定式结构“to stop weighing myself every day”作空格处名词的定语，“停止每天称体重这个_____”,根据语义，此处填decision“决定”最合理。

　　18、【答案】[D] disappointing 【试题考点】上下文意义衔接+形容词辨析

　　【解析】此空在 of介词短语中，修饰名词“burden负担”，根据语义色彩，此处应该填贬义词，因此disappointing“令人失望的”最合理。

　　19、【答案】[A] because【试题考点】上下文逻辑

　　【解析】根据选项特征看出本题考查句内逻辑关系，前半句话“I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals”(我也更成功地实现了健身目标)，后半句“I’m training according to those goals, mot the numbers on scale.”(我根据那些目标来训练，而不是体重数字。)此处应为因果关系，所以正确选项为because。此外，本句话中的“also”表明与前一句话之间的关系，前一句话中的since也表示因果关系。

　　20、【答案】[D] obssessing 【试题考点】上线文衔接+词义辨析

　　【解析】根据选项特征，此空填入动词的现在分词，其逻辑主语为句子主语you，宾语为thescale，通过上文可知，作者对于“the scale”一直持否定态度，因此此空根据语义色彩排除dominating“统治”和triumphing“胜利”，而puzzling over 表示“仔细琢磨，冥思苦想”，与上下文语义不符。因此选obsessing“使困扰”
