Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie（卡）, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

答案

小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:B

解析

试题分析：我们的生活中充斥着各种各样的减肥产品。这些产品真能帮助我们减肥吗？事实上，减肥产品不仅在身体上而且在心理上都给人们带来了危害。减肥需要坚强的决心和实际的努力锻炼，而减肥产品基本没有营养还会让人觉得减肥很简单：吃两片药片就可以。这些都告诉我们应该向减肥产品说不。
小题1:主题归纳题。根据We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.还有第四句中的for products that harm us可知选C（减肥产品在误导人们）。mis-leading可以拆分成两个部分，后面的意思是“导向” ，一般情况下，前面的前缀mis起相反的意思，那么就是误导了。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第二段的第第二句话的意思可知，减肥产品在心理上削弱了我们。我们的体重有问题不在于在实际上失去了重量，而在于控制消耗脂肪，高热量，不健康的食品。选 D（注意体重而不是饮食）。
小题3:主题归纳题。根据最后一段的意思可知，减肥产品对我们的健康有害，所以购买需谨慎。选A（警告人们减肥产品的副作用。）。
小题4:篇章结构题。分析各段的主题大意可知，第一段是我们在关注对我们身心有害的产品；第二段介绍在心理上削弱注意力；同时说了一方面；第三段有接着提到另一方面；第四段介绍减肥产品对人的身体的危害；第五段得出结论：减肥产品有害，不应该购买。所以选B。
