Not any more. A publichealth campaign has greatly reduced the number of
13、 heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.

You should work hard for excellence instead.1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._答案与解析1in考查介词。句意
35、为：第一次做某件事的时候是几乎不可能做到完美的。succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做某事”，为固定搭配，故填in。2Therefore/Thus考查副词。句意为：因此，当你第一次做某事的时候，也就是你要放弃完美的时候。根据两个句子之间的关系可知，此处应是表示结果的副词，又因为空格后面的标点符号是逗号，故填Therefore或Thus。3drove考查动词的时态。句意为：我记得在我拿到驾照后第一次开车。句中的the first time引导的时间状语从句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时，故填drove。4experienced考查词性转换。句意为：现在我开车熟练多了。
36、分析句子结构可知，此处应是形容词作表语。故填experienced。5Though/Although/While考查连词。句意为：虽然我现在仍然认为自己不完美，但是现在比刚开始开车的时候自信了很多。句子前后两部分是转折关系，所以此处应填引导让步状语从句的连词，故填Though/Although/While。6what考查宾语从句。句意见上一题解析。根据句子结构及句意可知than后面的宾语从句中缺少表语，故填连接代词what。7it考查代词。句意为：通常情况下，当你第一次做某事时，努力要做到完美是没有用的。It is useless to do sth.意为“做某事是没有用的”，为固定句型，it
37、是形式主语，后面的动词不定式是真正的主语，故填it。8unable考查词形转换。句意为：你设定的目标太高，以至于当你不能达到这一标准时，你会感到难过。根据句意可知，此处应该是表示否定的意思，所以要用able的反义词，故填unable。9to delay考查非谓语动词。句意为：而且，完美是另外一种耽误时间的方式way意为“方式，方法”时，后面常用动词不定式作定语，故填to delay。10a考查冠词。句意为：所以，努力想要达到完美只是浪费时间。a waste of time意为“浪费时间”，为固定搭配，故填a。.应用文写作假定你是李华，请你就本校图书馆的服务状况给校长写一封信，指出不足之处，内容
