Question

11．I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter's high school graduation half a year ago．To my horror，I could only fit into a size 20．
Being overweight most of my adult life，I always had very little self-confidence．Wearing a dress I didn't like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help．Thankfully，a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings，and I noticed her great progress．Her success inspired me to give it a try．I joined Weight Watchers，attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System．
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting!I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others．I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories，recipes and information offered there，I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers，which have great tips and new ideas in each issue．
It's hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change．I didn't walk anywhere and couldn't wash my car or walk my dog．Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them．But the change didn't happen overnight．I had to exercise with patience and perseverance（坚持）．I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good．
The"new me"is more self-confident and healthier．I love how I feel now．I have more energy and feel like I'm 25 again．So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem？

分析 文章通过为了去参加女儿毕业典礼而找不到合适的衣服，从而下定决定参加Weight Watchers meetings，并在自己的坚持努力下终于有了改变．

解答 CDDC 
14．C 猜测词意题．通过前句的介绍I noticed her great progress可知，我的一个朋友填穿衣上最近有很大的进步，她的成功鼓励我也去试一试，故inspire此处的意思是鼓励，故选C．
15．D 推理题．根据最后一段The"new me"is more self-confident and healthier．I love how I feel now．I have more energy and feel like I'm 25 again得知，新的我更自信，更健康，我很喜欢现在的我，所以推断答案为D．
16．D 主旨大意题．通过文章最后一句话So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem？特别是 why not？得知，作者主要想建议我们去参加该课程，故选D．
17．C 细节题．But the change didn't happen overnight．I had to exercise with patience and perseverance（坚持）．这句话告诉我们改变不是一夜之间发生的，必须有耐心和坚持不懈的精神，所以答案为C，作者是一个有耐心的人．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
