Question

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie（卡）, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

試題分析：我們的生活中充斥著各種各樣的減肥產品。這些產品真能幫助我們減肥嗎？事實上，減肥產品不僅在身體上而且在心理上都給人們帶來了危害。減肥需要堅強的決心和實際的努力鍛煉，而減肥產品基本沒有營養(yǎng)還會讓人覺得減肥很簡單：吃兩片藥片就可以。這些都告訴我們應該向減肥產品說不。
小題1:主題歸納題。根據(jù)We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.還有第四句中的for products that harm us可知選C（減肥產品在誤導人們）。mis-leading可以拆分成兩個部分，后面的意思是“導向” ，一般情況下，前面的前綴mis起相反的意思，那么就是誤導了。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第第二句話的意思可知，減肥產品在心理上削弱了我們。我們的體重有問題不在于在實際上失去了重量，而在于控制消耗脂肪，高熱量，不健康的食品。選 D（注意體重而不是飲食）。
小題3:主題歸納題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思可知，減肥產品對我們的健康有害，所以購買需謹慎。選A（警告人們減肥產品的副作用。）。
小題4:篇章結構題。分析各段的主題大意可知，第一段是我們在關注對我們身心有害的產品；第二段介紹在心理上削弱注意力；同時說了一方面；第三段有接著提到另一方面；第四段介紹減肥產品對人的身體的危害；第五段得出結論：減肥產品有害，不應該購買。所以選B。
