答案與題解:

1. B 從句意來看，本句要說明"體內(nèi)的熱量可以使人的心臟跳動"，所以答案選擇 beating。tick 是"發(fā)出滴答聲"或"激怒";run 是"奔跑" ;kick 是"踢"。只有 beat 符合句意。

2. A 從句意來看，本句要說明"體內(nèi)的熱量可以使身體的器官正常運轉(zhuǎn)"。Properly 和appropriately 都有"合適的，適當(dāng)?shù)?quot;之意，但 properly 可以表達"正常的、按照一定的規(guī)律" 的意思;approximately 是"近似地，大約，大概，近乎";effectively"有效地"。答案選擇 A。

3. C 選項 A) 、B) 、C) 都有"增加"的意思，但只有 gain 和 weight 搭配使用，才構(gòu)成"增加體重"的意思。文中原意要表達"一個人增加了體重"。選項 D)put 和 weight 搭配，沒有增加體重的意思。

4. D 選項 A)cut off 意為"切割，剪斷"等意思;選項 B) take down 為"記錄、記下";選項 C) remove 為"移走、去除";選項 D)reduce 為"減少、降低"。本句意為"唯一的減肥辦法就是減少每天的卡路里的消耗量"，所以答案選擇 D。

5. B 本句要表達節(jié)食的基本原則是上文所述的"減少每天卡路里的消耗量"。答案 A)way和 C)method 是"方式、方法"的意思。選項 D) kind 作為名詞是"類別"的意思，不符合題意。答案為 B) principle"原則"。

6. C 本句要表達的意思是" 遺憾的是，節(jié)食對于大多數(shù)人的減肥并不奏效"。選項 A)Similarly 為"相似地";選項 B) Though 為"雖然";選項 C) Unfortunately 為"遺憾地、不幸地";選項 D)Although 為連詞"雖然"。只有 C 符合句意。
