分析 Sue决定保持更平衡的饮食，每天为她有规律的锻炼留出时间．

解答 答案：B．

点评 定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a/an表示泛指；对于冠词特指和泛指的考察是历年来高考的必考点，平时的学习要多进行积累，仔细分析特指还是泛指．同时，更为重要的是要多去积累习惯表达，特殊表达，这也是近几年高考习惯考的地方．总而言之，多解题、多理解、多积累才是关键．

16．It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather．Such a fixation with the we ather finds expression in Dr．Johnson's famous comment that"When two English meet，their first talk is of weather．"Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak．
   Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood．He argues that"To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it．"Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles．
  Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive．Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena．"The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty．"According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the En glish as well as the outsider．
  Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English．Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point．The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all．English weather-speak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other．Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data．Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank"fillers"．In other words，English weather-speak is a means of social bonding．

10．People feel differently about advertising．People who are against it often argue that it is immoral．They say ads are full of tricks．They also contain mistakes in grammar．Other people say advertisers have a right to speak freely．This is guaranteed by law．They point out that people do not have to view the ads．
Weasel words Advertisers often use special words or phrases．Thesewordsor phrases are often misleading．These words are called"weasel words"．Advertisers are free to use them as long as they stick to the rules．The government decides what these rules are．Examples of weasel words are"helps"，"virtual"，"new and improved"，and"like"．
"Helps"People often think"help"means stop．Advertisers use it so  that  they can say things that aren't necessarily true．Legally，help means to aid or assist．For example，a product can"help"cure indigestion．In fact，the product down'tcure indigestion．Can you think of some ads that use"help"？

"New and Improved"A product can only be considered new for six months．Any small change in a product will make it new．Often，this change does not make a product better．Yet，the change often makes it more expensive．New is often used with"improved"．Can you think of some ads that use"new"and"improved"？
"Like""Like"can mean"not in fact"．Some products claim they work"like magic"．Like often  takes  the audience's  attention off the product．Think of"like magic．"If  things  are  like magic，they are not magic．Can you think of some ads that use"like"or"like magic"？
