这是一篇有关于讲男士时装店的文章，实质上销售名车零部件。全文除了第25空有点难度以外，其他均是送分题。考查了定语从句，最高级，非谓语，被动语态等语法点，个别空格还要注意时态，也考验学生语法能力。

25. 解析：what。考查表语从句引导词。That is后面看到是一句句子，可以分析出是一句从句，另外company一词后面是对该公司的具体描述，即describe后面实体是company，而这样的结构并不完整，描述该公司。。。。。，后面还缺宾语，故填what。意思是说Lo把该公司说成“男士时装店”。

26. 解析：that/which。本题考查的是定语从句关系词。注意到company一词后面是对该公司的具体描述，因此属于定语修饰，故填关系代词that/which。

27. 解析：the biggest。考查形容词最高级。对于名车收藏家而言，最头疼的问题我们可以想象就是车有了，但是里面零件有缺失，这是很头疼的问题。故填最高级。

28. 解析：checked。考查非谓语。这个空格不难填，与后面repaired对应。意指原车要先得到检查和修理。

29. 解析：are developed。考查被动语态。本空格也不难填，与后面is made相对应。

30. 解析：encouraged。考查动词过去式。这里的encourage结合语境是过去发生的事，故填过去式。

31. 解析：what。考查宾语从句疑问词。注意到介词for后面是一句句子，考虑是宾语从句。另外，like在这里属于介词，而介词后面没有成分，故缺宾语what。

32. 解析：having/enjoying。考查非谓语兼固定搭配。这里学生容易忽略后面的lunch而填drinking，所以要看清。

    The most common mistakes (33) _____ (lead) to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits. How you move objects, your posture, not stretching before exercising and the wrong kind of shoes all contribute to one of the most common medical problems today. Back pain affects eight out of 10 people in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health.
    Dr. Douglas Won, founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano, Texas, offers some tips to improve back health:
    First, maintain proper body mechanics:
lStretch (34) _____ exercising or doing any tough activity. Push heavy objects across the floor instead of pulling or lifting them.
l(35) _____ lifting is necessary, lift with your knees, not your back.
lAvoid sudden movements and "twisting" motions when carrying objects--even a bag of groceries can do serious harm when (36) _____ (handle) improperly.
lMaintain good posture as often as possible. When standing, your weight (37) _____ be balanced smoothly and regularly on both feet to avoid injuring your muscles and joints.
lWear proper shoes. High-heeled shoes are common criminals, but even tennis shoes can be (38) _____ problem if they don't provide you with proper support.
    Next, adopt healthy habits:
lExercise regularly: The best programs for back health include basic (39) _____ (strengthen) and cardiovascular (心血管的) exercises.
Reduce stress: When stressed, the body tightens (40) _____ muscles. This can result in spasms (痉挛), "muscle twists" and stressed nerves that are painful and can lead to more serious problems.

本文主要讲对背部的保护，传授了几个小贴士。全文除了第35空有点难度以外，其它难度不大，但是要非常注意前后文的理解，考查了几个初高中的综合语法点，范围很广很杂。

33. 解析：leading。考查非谓语。本题难度不大，看得出主句的真正谓语动词是are，中间“导致背部受伤”实际是对前面“常见错误”的修饰，作定语，而且错误导致受伤呈主动关系，故填leading。

34. 解析：before。考查介词。此题是送分题。因为前面有说到“锻炼身体前不做舒展运动也会导致背部不适”。而这里是给出贴士，是一种劝告建议，故填before，意指希望能在健身前做舒展运动。

35. 解析：If/When。考察连词或副词，本句有点难度，但是看到这里属于贴士范围，而本句后半部分属于祈使句，因此看得出前面是假设，意指“如果/当搬运有必要的话，最好是用膝盖顶一下而不是背着”。

36. 解析：handled。本题考查的是被动语态。但是本题要看清前后句，前句中“carrying objects”对应的逻辑主语是前面祈使句中隐藏的主语“you”，呈主动关系因此写成ing形式。而后一句逻辑主语是groceries，是sth，因此这里的when后面的handle与其呼应呈被动关系，故填handled。

37. 解析：should。本题考查的是情态动词。该空格有学生会想到填must，但是由于这是贴士，是给出劝告建议，故填should比较合适，must语气比较强硬。意指“在站立的时候，体重应该平分两脚才能避免受伤”。

38. 解析：another。本题考查不定代词，前句说穿高跟鞋很痛苦，这里转折说穿球鞋也有可能带来问题，而这个是另一个问题，故填another。

39. 解析：strength。本句说的是要经常锻炼，要多做力量练习，故填名词strength。

40. 解析：the。考察定冠词。本题难度不大，前面身体特指，这里肌肉也特指。
