Women,Keep Dieting!

To most women who are trying to keep slim,dieting can seem to last a lifetime,or to be more exact,31 years,for researchers have found that is how long the average woman spends on a diet over the course of her life.
A university did a research on diet of British people for as long as 10 years,whose result revealed such a picture.British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.
However,they aren't the only ones waging a constant fight against the loose fat. The average adult male spends 28 years losing weight,the poll has discovered.It found that over a tenth of the UK population is currently dieting in a bid to shed the pounds after feasting on festive treats over the Christmas period.Though holding the best intentions,three quarters of those who began their New Year with the firm resolution to lose weight give up by the end of the week.The average diet lasts 5.5 weeks,with the post-Christmas fast being even shorter at just three weeks.Half of slimmers throw in the towel due to lack of determination,while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.The most determined dieters of all are aged from 45 to 64,almost a quarter spending up to a year slimming. In comparison,those aged between 18 and 24 are more likely to be yo-yo dieters,with a fifth giving up within a month.
The survey of 1,446 of men and women found that nearly two thirds of the UK population are unhappy with their body and feel that being thinner would make them happier.
For women,looks are more important,with over half reporting that they diet to wear fashionable clothes and a third of those surveyed said they watched their weight in a bid to feel more attractive. But in comparison,men are more focused on their long-term well-being,with over a third saying they wanted to lose weight to be more healthy.
选项 What does"throw in the towel"mean in Lines 6～7,Paragraph 3?
A:"admit the failure"
B:"start to have a business"
C:"go on diet"
D:"keep a balanced life"
答案A
解析本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文内容，女性平均一生中花多长时间节食？选B的依据是第一段第一句："To most women who are trying to keep slim, dieting can seem to last a lifetime, or to be more exact, 31 years… ”对于多数想保持苗条身材的女性来说，节食可能是件一辈子的事。确切点说，是31年。所以选项B 31年，与原文意思相符。
本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文，哪个说法不正确？选B的依据是第二段第二句："British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.”英国女性平均一年中有半年的时间在节食减肥，而超过1/5一的女性为了追求完美身材，节食几乎成了她们一生的“事业”。选项B不足1/5的英国女性终身节食，与原文意思不符。
本题考查对成语的理解。题干是：第三段中的“throw in the towel”是什么意思？选A的依据是该短语所在句子的后半句“while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.”和其前半句都在分析人们节食失败的原因。所以“give up”是“throw in the towel”的复现，所以选项A承认失败，是正确答案。
本题是主旨概括题。题干是：第三段第十行的“yo-yo dieters"，作者指的是谁？选B的依据是：该句对不同年龄层的人的节食情况进行比较，年纪较长者坚持得较好，而年轻人“in comparison”坚持得不好。由此，可以推理出选项B经常节食但屡遭失败的人，是正确答案。
本题是细节考查题。题目是：男士和女士节食的原因是否相同？ 选B的依据是最后一段："For women, looks are more important...But in comparison, men are more focused on their long-term well-being.”对于女性来说，外表重于一切……相比之下，男性则更为注重长期健康。所以，选项B女性节食为好看而男性节食为健康，是正确答案。
