Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·济南学情检测)If you always sit indoors for too long, putting on weight may become a trouble.Tired of all that fat?If so, these sports can help you burn the most calories.
Running
“Running is one of the best calorie burners out there,”qualified personal trainer Daniel Saltos says.An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.“Speed, pace, and tolerance are all factors that can impact this range.But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.”
Swimming
“Swimming is a workout that produces the lowest impact on body while it still can burn 500 to 600 calories in just 30 minutes,”Saltos says.Swimming also improves heart health and increases strength—all great reasons for playing in the water.
Boxing
Not only is boxing a great way to release energy, but it also helps improve balance, builds up tolerance and strengthens the upper body and core.“Boxing helps you get a good calorie burn, too, with the average person burning up 400 to 800 calories in an hour session,” Saltos says.
Rowing
The pushing and pulling motion of rowing machines targets multiple muscle groups including the arms, core, and back, helping you to burn more calories.“An hour of rowing will burn 400 to 600 calories on average,”Saltos says.
[语篇解读]本文是应用文。文章介绍了最能燃烧热量的四项运动。

2.What is the advantage of swimming according to the text?
A.It enhances balance.
B.It improves tolerance.
C.It produces low impact.

3.Who is the text intended for?
A.Great athletes. B.Fitness experts.
C.Sports reporters. D.Overweight persons.

(2024·石家庄高中毕业班教学质量检测)The widespread sedentary(久坐不动的)lifestyle has become a problem in America,fueling the rising obesity (肥胖) rate.
Now a new study finds that being surrounded by active friends can help a person living a sedentary lifestyle get more exercise each day.Researchers found that people in social groups where exercise is valued are more likely to be more active themselves.Lonely people are more likely to live sedentary lifestyles without another person around to give them a boost.The findings highlight the idea that the company a person keeps can be a boost to their overall health and direction in life.
Dr.Diana Thomas, a professor at a military school and study author, said that the idea for the research came from real life experiences on the campus.Her team had noticed a trend of people becoming more interested in fitness and other activities once arriving at the school.This is not usually the case at other schools and workplaces,where there is no significant impact on fitness.Thomas believed that this trend could be the result of ingroup social conditioning,where people will take part in activities that others around them are doing.
People whose data were gathered for the study were split into three groups based on their physical activity level—sedentary,moderately active and extremely active.Moderately active folks were the most important for drawing people who are sedentary to become active,and to sustain that activity.Thomas explained that sedentary people would be unlikely to change their behavior when placed in a group of the extremely active, as it would seem unattainable.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。一项研究发现,身边都是爱运动的朋友的话,久坐不动的人也会多参加体育锻炼的。
4.Why does the author mention the rising obesity rate in the first paragraph?
A.To make comparisons.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To support the argument.
D.To provide examples.
解析:选B。推理判断题。作者在第二段介绍了一项研究发现,根据研究发现的内容可知,第一段提到美国肥胖率上升的问题旨在引出话题,故B项正确。
5.What helps a sedentary person become active?
A.Volunteering in social groups.
B.Working in a caring company.
C.Joining sportsloving friends.
D.Giving a lonely neighbor a boost.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“being surrounded by active friends can help a person living a sedentary lifestyle get more exercise”可知,如果久坐不动的人身边围绕着爱运动的人,他们也会多多锻炼,因此和爱运动的朋友一起有助于久坐不动的人多运动,故C项正确。
6.What might have caused the trend at the military school?
A.Requirements from the school.
B.People's natural addition to sports.
C.Social interaction within a group.
D.Competition against other schools.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thomas believed that this trend could be the result of ingroup social conditioning”并结合选项可知,军事学院的这种趋势是由群体内社交互动造成的,故C项正确。
7.Why are extremely active people less influential according to Dr.Thomas?
A.They have no appeal for sedentary people.
B.They are unwilling to involve sedentary people.
C.They themselves often fail to sustain exercising.
D.They seem like an example beyond sedentary people.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“sedentary people would be unlikely to change their behavior when placed in a group of the extremely active, as it would seem unattainable”可知,超级爱锻炼的人标准太高,久坐不动的人无法达到他们的锻炼强度,据此可以推断,他们可能不适合久坐不动的人效仿,所以对久坐不动的人影响不大,故D项正确。unattainable“无法达到的;无法获得的”。
