1. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
2. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.

①内容分析
今天的句子虽然很长,但是内部结构非常清晰。
1、According to most calculations,
根据大多数计算
首先是“according to 根据……”的短语。我们在之前的讲义讲过,according to后面的一定是个名词性的短语,所以后面如果没有从句的情况下,绝对不可能直接出现谓语。
“calculation 名词 计算”,动词形式是“calculate”,另一个名词形式是“calculator 计算器”,就是各位可以拿在手上噼里啪啦按按钮的那个玩意。
2、race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour,
每小时六英里步速移动的竞走者每小时会燃烧大约800卡路里
这部分的难点是你是否能有效拆分出非谓语部分,然后准确找出句子的主干。
非谓语moving的用法就是我们在之前的讲义讲到的doing第二个主要考点——在名词后面作为定语补充。“race walker 竞走者”,什么样的竞走者呢?“moving at a pace of six miles per hour 以每小时六英里的步速移动的”竞走者。
“以……的速度、价格”使用的都是介词at,有个印象即可。
3、which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,
这大约是他们走路燃烧的两倍
定语从句出现,对前一句进行补充,竞走每小时燃烧的卡路里是普通走路的两倍。这部分的难点是表示倍数的比较结构“twice as many as 是……的两倍”。
英语里的倍数表示,在高考里需要各位看明白的是三种情况。
情况一
倍数 + as + 形容词原级 + as + 比较对象
New drivers have accidents twice as many as experienced drivers.
新司机出的事故是老司机的两倍。
(可数名词的数量多少使用many)
It cost three times as much as I had expected.
它的花费是我预期的三倍。
(不可数名词的数量多少使用much)
Cats sleep twice as long as people.
猫睡觉的时间是人类的两倍。
(比较什么就使用什么对应的形容词,这里是时间长度,所以是long)
Unemployment in US is twice as high as that in Europe.
美国的失业率是欧洲的两倍。
(如果需要代词指代前面的比较内容,注意使用that而不是it)
情况二
倍数 + 尺寸或数量 + of + 比较对象
Their house is tw
