10.A hi-tech balloon that fills the stomach could help to stop the obesity.The new balloon is designed to help those who find it(41)impossible (possible) to lose weight through normal diets.It occupies a large part of the stomach,(42)reducing (reduce) appetite and improving the chances of losing weight.According to the World Obesity Forum,the number of overweight and obese Britons is set to rise (43)from 32million to 36million by 2025.The balloon,(44)developed (develop) by US firm Allurion Technologies,recently received marketing approval for the UK.
In a study of 34obese men and women,it is to average weight loss of 10kg over the four (45)months (month).Volunteers lost an average of 8cm from their waistlines.In every case,the balloon passed (46)safely (safe) out of the body.Professor Mike Lean said the method could help some people with weight (47)loss (lose).But he warned it was not a permanent(48)solution(solve) to obesity.
"Ballooons help some people to lose weight over(49)a short period.But they cannot have any long-term effect,"he said."Once they are removed,they have no further effect,so weight goes back on (50)If the patient can't stop eating much."
分析 本文讲到了一种高科技的气球被置于胃中,通过它在胃中占据部分空间降低食欲来阻止肥胖.根据世界肥胖论坛报导,到2025年肥胖症患者将会从 32million 增加到 36million.这种高科技气球最近已经在英国得到了上市许可.据对34名应用者的研究表明,使用这种气球在四个月内体重平均减少了10千克,志愿者的腰围减少了8厘米.尽管这种减肥方法起到了一定作用,但是专家认为,这并不是解决肥胖的长久之计,气球一旦被取出,病人不能停止多吃的话,体重就会反弹回来.
解答 41.impossible;考查句意,分析上下文可知,句意应为"帮助那些发现通过正常饮食减肥不可能的人",所以这里要用否定形式 impossible.
42.reducing;考查分词作状语,分析句子结构可知,此处应用分词作伴随状语,句子的主语it与动词 reduce存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语.
43.from;考查介词,这里from与后面的to构成固定短语"from…to…",意为"从…到…".
44.developed;考查分词作定语,The balloon与动词 develop存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用过去分词作状语.
45.months;考查名词复数,month是可数名词,前面有数量词four修饰,故用复数形式months.
46.safely;考查副词,这里用副词作状语,修饰前面的动词passed.
47.loss;考查名词,这里用名词形式loss与前面的weight构成复合名词,作介词with的宾语,这里名词weight作定语修饰loss,意为"体重的减少".
48.solution;考查名词,前面有不定冠词a和形容词 permanent,可知此处应该用名词形式.
49.a;考查冠词,period是可数名词的单数形式,所以前面要用不定冠词a泛指"一个".
50.if;考查连词,结合上下文分析,句意应为"病人不能停止多吃的话,体重就会反弹回来",所以这里用if引导一个条件状语从句.

Instead of blowing away with the wind,they arose against it to achieve great(38)A.They(39)Band pulled,but the restraining string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow (拖着),facing upward and against the(40)C.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string,they seemed to say,"Let me go!Let me go!I want to be(41)D!"They flew beautifully even(42)Bthey fought the restraint of the string.Finally,one of the kites succeeded in getting(43)C."Free at last,"it seemed to say."Free to fly(44)Athe wind."
Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the(45)Cof an unsympathetic wind.It flew up and down to the ground and (46)Din a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush."Free at last",free to lie powerless in the dirt,to be blown(47)Balong the ground.
How much like(48)Bwe sometimes are.The heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and restrictions(49)Ato follow from which we can grow and(50)Dstrength.Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never fly to reach the heights we might have(51)D.We keep part of the rules and never(52)A high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights,(53)Cthat some of the restraints that we may be annoyed at are(54)Bthe powerful force that helps us climb and(55)Aour goal.
