分析 本文是说明文.文章介绍了秤上显示的体重与实际体重不符的五个原因.
解答 GADBE
36.G 上下文语境.根据They found that people's weight changed considerably throughout the week 可知"很多人周一最重、周五最 轻"与本空上一句"人们的体重在一周内变化很大"相符,故选G.
37.A 上下文语境.根据下文的 men can reduce 2.5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds …可 知,称体重时穿不穿衣服会影响结果,因此造成秤上显示的体重与实际 体重不符的一个原因就是"你对衣服 (的重量) 计算有误',故选A.
38.D 上下文语境.根据本空上一句内容You've heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat.可知,肌肉的密度比脂肪的大,因此同等重量的肌肉"体积只有脂肪的三分之一".D项中的it指代muscle.
39.B 上下文语境.根据前句So if you stand on the scale soon after drinking an entire water bottle's worth,you might not like what you see可知,如果你喝水后去称体重,你看到的可能不是你的实际体重,但是别担心,这只是暂时的重量,故选B.
40.E 上下文语境.根据本段内容可知,刚锻炼完,由于出汗较多,体重会暂时减轻,因此"如果你需要增加自信",这个时候称 体重无疑是最佳时机,故选E.
