Fighting Fit
Fine Fitness, the health and fitness cluboperator, announced an impressive set of resultsyesterday: (19) a 38-per-cent jump in annual pre-tax profits, the company claimed that it had (20)none of the problems (21) last week by its rival, TopFit .According to Samantha Collier,the chiefexecutive, Fine Fitness (22) strong and is on (23) toreach its target of 100 clubs within three years, itsstrategy unaffected by the apparent (24) down ofthe economy.
The company opened 12 new clubs in the past year; (25) its total to 51. They have (26) tobe highly successful, with people joining in large numbers, especially in the 25-to-40 age range.Even the more (27) clubs are still seeing sales growth, along with rising retention (28) of morethan 70 per cent. This can be seen as clear (29) of the appeal of Fine Fitness.
Ms Collier admitted that as there were (30) too many companies competing with oneanother; there would almost certainly be (31) in the health-and-fitness-club sector of themarket She predicted that, within a relatively short time, there might be only about threemajor companies still in (32).However, she declined to say which these were likely to be.
Profits rose by £6.3 million, although there was a fall in gross margins from 31 per cent to28.6 per cent because of higher insurance premiums, extra management costs and start-upexpenses for the company's new (33) in Spain.

文章介紹了一個經營健康俱樂部的公司的情況，依舊是形勢喜人。
19題，一句話包含三個空，聯系在一起做。昨天開會，宣布了一系列結果。報告稅前收益增長了38%，公司并沒有經歷它的競爭對手所暴露的問題。19題選report，20題experienced，21題，revealed by itsrival，被競爭對手暴露的問題。
22題，remains strong保持強勁;單看單詞的意思，貌似keep也可以(不過說實話，如果不是有同學提醒，我壓根想不到會填keep)聯系此句上下文，提到了在對手出現問題時這個公司表現依然強勁remain在英文詞典的解釋是：continue to exist, especially after other similar or related people or things haveceased to exist 在相似或者相關人和事出現狀況時仍然存在，所以，remain更符合這個題目的條件
23題，on track 步入正軌。公司正在實現目標的正道上。這個詞在其他完型也出現過，不過不是正確答案。
24題，slow down放緩，固定用法。經濟放緩。
25題，bring to，使總數達到51，這個題怕是要靠語感。put肯定不對，get to到達，mount在這里用法不對。
26題，proved to be證明是，固定用法
27題，這里填入的詞要和前文對照，前面說新開了12家新的俱樂部，這里的空格前有個even和more，所以應該是填入與new相對應的詞。established是已確立的(If you use established to describesomething such as an organization, you mean that it is officially recognized or generallyapproved of because it has existed for a long time. )
28題，retention rate保留率，專有名詞(Retained earnings divided by total after-tax earnings,expressed as a percentage)，指公司稅后收益所保留的那一部分。
29題，公司吸引力的證據。clear evidence明顯的證據。不選sign，sign只是跡象。
30題，simply修飾too many從用法和意思上都對，在這里就是表強調的，意思是公司太多了。
31題，consolidation強化、合并(To consolidate a number of small groups or firms means tomake them into one large organization.)，有很多的公司相互競爭，所以需要進行一個整合。這是商英里的固定說法。
32題，in business在經營。是說很快這個市場上的公司會淘汰的只剩下三個。
33題，理解了venture的意思就不難做出選擇，在這里是指商業冒險，也是商英地道說法。公司要在西班牙進行一些投機活動，因此增加了額外的管理費用。
