阅读理解I was 230 pounds this spring and I decided to get down to a healthier 200.In a house full of food,including snacks bought for my 7yearold sons,I had a hard time cutting calories. Then I noticed my neighbors were having diet meals (减肥餐).I decided to do the same,knowing I would never be able to stick to a diet if I had to do the buying and cooking myself. I was looking for food that I could afford but I might take a diet more seriously if it hurt me in the wallet.After online searches,I decided to pare the offerings of four panies:Zone Manhattan,Chefs Diet,NuKitchen and eDiets. All four would send the meals to my door. Three send food daily,while eDiets sends a large package once a week. There were dozens of panies I could have chosen.Research suggests that the economic crisis has made diet programs less tempting.Consumers prefer doityourself diets with foods bought from the supermarket.NuKitchen regards itself as the “personal chef”.I ordered the fiveday plan ($230.53) and the taste was disappointing. I neither lost nor gained weight on the food.eDiets promises “healthy,delicious meals sent to your door”.I ordered five breakfasts,five lunches and five dinners. My total cost was $119.70,or less than $25 a day. Overall,the food from eDiets was better than that from NuKitchen.Chefs Diet charged $380.99 for seven days,making it the most expensive of the four services.I never tasted anything terrible,but I never tasted anything that made me want to renew for a second week.Zone Manhattan charged $349.80,with tax,for a week’s supply of food,or about $50 a day.I liked the food so much that I lost six pounds in the first four days on the diet.1.When the author began to have diet meals,she________.A.was 200 poundsB.didn’t have any childrenC.worked as a cook in a pany offering diet mealsD.didn’t believe she could stick to a diet if she had to cook herself2.What does the underlined word “tempting” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Attractive.B.Expensive.C.Delicious.D.Useful.3.Which of the four panies’ food cost the least daily?A.Zone Manhattan’s.B.Chefs Diet’s.C.NuKitchen’s.D.eDiets’.4.We can learn from the passage that________.A.the author gained weight on the food from NukitchenB.the author would choose the food of Zone ManhattanC.the food from eDiets was the worst of the fourD.Zone Manhattan sends food once a week

DADB解析者决定吃减肥餐,选了四家送减肥餐的公司,一起去看看这四家公司的情况吧!1.D 细节题。 根据I decided to do the same,knowing I would never be able to stick to a diet if I had to do the buying and cooking myself.2.A 词义猜测题。根据后边的Consumers prefer do-it-yourself diets with foods bought from the supermarket.可知由于经济危机减肥餐不再那么“吸引人”了。3.D细节理解题。eDiets一天的餐费不到$25,与其他的相比较是最低的。4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段I liked the food so much that I lost six pounds in the first four days on the diet.可推出作者可能会选Zone Manhattan送减肥餐。
