Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．D;4．B;5．C;
解析：

(1)	这是一道信息归纳题．根据文章首段的“Ellen Parker was worried about her health．She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs．She was soon out of breath．”不难看出Ellen Parker“爬楼困难、气喘吁吁”．由此，我们得出“Ellen Parker 的健康有问题”这一结论．
(2)	这是一道逻辑推理题，需要把上下文所涉及到的信息连贯起来综合考虑．Ellen Parker去看医生时，医生给她提了一些建议．医生的建议是什么样的呢？文章并没有指明，而是让考生自己去体会．只是在短文的最后一段中有这样一句话“My doctor told me that I am overweight and have to lose ten pounds．I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like．”从Ellen Parker说的这几句话中，我们才知道她体重超常，医生建议让她减肥，故答案为A．
(3)	这是一道细节理解题．答案源自短文最后一段的“I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like．”一句中．Ellen Parker到肉店去并非是为了买肉，而是要看看10磅肉究竟有多大一块．
(4)	这也是一道逻辑推理题．文章第一段提到Ellen Parker的身体很虚弱，最后点明医生让她减肥10磅．据此，我们可以推断出她所有的健康问题皆由身体肥胖所致．
(5)	这是一道细节理解题．医生给Ellen Parker提出建议后，紧接着警告说：“If you don't do what I say，you will have a heart attack．It could kill you．”．所以，假如Ellen Parker不听医生的劝告，就有患心脏病的危险． 　　这篇幽默故事的大意是：Ellen Parker由于身体虚弱去看医生，医生建议她减肥．Ellen Parker听从了医生的建议，却进了一家卖肉的商店并向店主要了10磅重的一块牛排．当店主要她付钱时，她却说自己并不想卖肉，只是想看看10磅肉到底有多大一块．至此，我们知道Ellen Parker到肉店去的目的并非买肉，而是想要弄明白自己如果减掉10磅肉的话，到底需要减下多大一块．
