网考网解析：
1.[答案]D face [考点]动词短语辨析，动词短语与名词的搭配 [解析]come up to的意思是“等于，达到”，catch up to的意思是“赶上，跟上”，confront的意思是“遭遇，面临”，不能和up to搭配，face up to表示“勇敢地对付（或接受）”。本句中的them 指的是前面提到的responsibilities，所以选face up to，D是正确答案。 2.[答案]B reluctance [考点]名词辨析，根据上下文选择合适的名词 [解析]resistance 意思是“抵抗，反抗”，reluctance 意思是“不愿，勉强”，persistence意思是“坚持”，existence 意思是“存在”。根据上下文，大多数人承担的责任比自己愿意承担的多，但这无法改变他们迟早要承担更多责任的事实。由此可见在责任面前，人们无法抵制，而是不情愿。所以作者说这也许正是在越来越多的责任面前人们不乐意的原因，正确选项为B。 3.[答案]C extra [考点]形容词辨析，根据上下文选择合适的形容词 [解析]Exact意思是“准确的，精确的”，external意思是“外部的”，extra意思是“额外的”extensive意思是“广泛的”。从上文的意思可以判断正确选项为C。本句意思是每天要做的事情已经很多，何必再额外增加负担？ 4.[答案]A that [考点]关系代词辨析 [解析]这是一个强调句，被强调的主语是defeatist mentality，所以只能选A。 5.[答案]C diet [考点]名词辨析，根据上下文选择合适的名词 [解析]本文主旨是鼓励人们通过合理的饮食和体育锻炼来提高生活的整体质量。food 指具体某种食物，不能概括天天饮食，nutrition的意思是“营养”，diet是“日常饮食，平时营养”，recreation 指“消遣，娱乐”。待选项与exercise（体育锻炼）构成并列，根据句子意思，C是最合适的答案。本句意思是：很遗憾，正是这种失败主义者的心理使人们不想通过合理的饮食和体育锻炼来提高生活质量。 6.[答案]B putting in [考点]动词短语辨析，动词短语与名词的搭配 [解析]set in 意思是“开始”，put in 意思是“花费，付出（时间、精力等）”，get in意思是“加入，收割”，cut in意思是“插嘴”。后面的名词是necessary work，合适的搭配选项应是put in，正确答案为B。 7.[答案]A along [考点]介词辨析 [解析]along the way 表示“在…的过程中”，by the way意思为“在途中，附带说说”，on the way 意思是“来到，接近，在进行中”，in the way为“挡道的，妨碍人的”之意。根据句子意思，正确答案是A。这句话的意思是合理饮食和体育锻炼换来的身体健康值得坚持过程中所做的任何牺牲。 8.[答案]D excuses [考点]名词辨析，根据上下文选择合适的名词 [解析]reason是“原因”，question是“问题”，doubt是“怀疑”，excuse是“借口”。前两段都是在说明人们为什么不愿为坚持合理饮食和体育锻炼付出额外的努力，question和doubt可以首先排除，而excuse比reason更准确，不能坚持合理饮食、体育锻炼只能是人们的借口，而不是正常理由，所以选D。 9.[答案]C time [考点]名词辨析，动词与名词的搭配 [解析]take a chance的意思是“冒险，投机”，take the effort to do sth.的意思是“花精力去做某事”，take the time to do sth.为固定说法，意思是“花时间去做某事”，take interest后面不能搭配不定式。后面那句话提到去麦当劳当然比自己做饭省时间，可见此处强调时间，所以答案为C。 10.[答案]B Planting [考点]动词辨析，动词与名词的搭配 [解析]throw oneself on的意思是“一下倒在”，plant有“使固定”的意思，sit是“坐，使就座”，place是“放置，安置... 查看试题解析出处>>
