题文
Every summer thousands of Americans stay at home instead of going on holiday because they'reoverweight. They don't want people to see them sunbathing and they don't want to have to squeeze into
plane seats. But now, thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages, the overweight
are having their days in the sun.
"Overweight people will have a great time an our holidays as we don't judge them like other people
do," said Liz Nickels, owner of Big Adventures, a US based company that hosts scuba-diving-a sport
of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for large
people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extra-large accommodation, many hotels in the US
have started to offer features such as wide beds and handheld showers. But the best in plus-size
vacationing lies at Mexico's Freedom Paradise, a112-room resort(度假胜地) opening this month,
which urges guests to "Live Large, Live Free".
The hotel has broad doorways, reinforced (加固) furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts
(自夸) a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches. "It's not a
hotel just for large people. It's a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday," said owner
Jurrian Kilnk. "What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don't feel comfortable at resorts. "
Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
Though many welcome the new service, some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this," said
Nancy Lenhart, owner of Camp La Jolla, a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp.
"If you talk about oversized beds and doorways, you are throwing their weight in their faces.
Overweight people want to be normalized. They shouldn't be discriminated against like this. "1. Large people don't want to go on holiday because . A. they don't like sun-bathing

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
