【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了Mary的女儿Sophia为了让自己变得美丽而采用对身体有害的方法，使得自己不再快乐，Mary为了帮助女儿而告诉她美丽是来自于内心的道理。

1.句意： 从那时起，她什么也不想，只想如何减肥，变得漂亮。

anything任何事情；something一些事情；nothing没有什么；everything一切事情。根据后文“…keeps on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet.”可Sophia之前一直有点胖，现在她决定节食运动减肥，所以是什么也不想，只想如何减肥，变漂亮。nothing but意为“只有；只是；仅仅”，符合句意。故选C。

2.句意：她不吃太多，一直在锻炼。

refuses拒绝，回绝；decides决定；begins开始；hopes希望。根据后文“…when she decided to go on a diet.”可知Sophia决定节食，所以她拒绝吃太多。故选A。

3.句意：她觉得如果女儿减掉10公斤会显得更有魅力。

less更少；more更多；the most最多；much大量，许多。根据前文“Sophia had always been a little heavy…”可知Sophia之前有点胖，再根据句意可知如果减掉10公斤，肯定比之前更有魅力。故选B。

4.句意：她的饮食和锻炼习惯对她的健康有害。

harmless无害的；healthy健康的；useful有益的；harmful有害的。根据后文“She is too thin and is often sick.”可知Sophia现在太瘦了而且经常生病，所以说她的饮食和运动习惯已经对身体有害。故选D。

5.句意：索菲亚脑子里满是模特儿的想法。

afraid of害怕；because of由于；full of充满；made of由……制成。根据后文“she spends her time …magazines like Fashion* Beauty. The models in them are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says．"If I look like these models…”可知Sophia花时间看《时尚与美容》等杂志，这些杂志上的模特都很瘦很漂亮。索菲亚说，“如果我看起来像这些模特…所以Sophia现在满脑子都是让自己看起来像模特儿的想法。故选C。

6.句意：当她不在俱乐部时，她会把时间花在阅读时尚和美容杂志上。

reading magazines看杂志；watching fashion shows看时装秀；writing to the newspapers给报纸投稿；seeing new films看新电影。根据后文“Fashion* Beauty”及“The models in them are very thin and beautiful.”可知Sophia看的是时尚美容杂志。故选A。

7.句意：索菲亚说：“如果我看起来像这些模特，我会很高兴，所有的男孩都会喜欢我的。”

Although即使；If如果；Because因为；So所以。根据后文“I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”可知Sophia会很高兴，所有的男孩子都会喜欢Sophia。所以前句为条件，如果我看起来像这些模特。故选B。

8.句意： 玛丽不知道如何帮助她的女儿。

when什么时候；where哪里；how如何，怎样；how difficult有多困难。根据后文“She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first...”可知Mary为一开始鼓励她而感到遗憾，因为索菲亚对自己的身体不再感到舒服或满意。Mary很担心Sophia。可推测出她不知道怎样帮助他的女儿。故选C。

9.句意：她担心如果索菲亚老是拿自己和杂志里面的模特们比，Sophia会永远不开心。

almost几乎；quickly迅速地；never从不，决不；obviously显然地。根据前文“Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body.”可知Sophia对自己的身体不再感到舒服或满意。这样Sophia会感到不开心。故选C。

10.句意：Mary试图告诉索菲亚真正的美来自内心。

humour幽默；ability能力；quality质量；beauty美丽。根据后文“The most ordinary(普通的) face becomes beautiful when the person behind it is filled with confidence（自信）, wisdom and the joy of life.”可知当一张最普通的脸背后充满了自信、智慧和生活的乐趣时，它就会变得美丽。所以说美丽来自内心。故选D。
