Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle eventually does harm to health but breaking out of long inactivity can be discouraging. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity. A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day — climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework — can provide great health benefits. “It's quite simple, but it's not an idea that's out there，” says University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis who led the research. “Many people, including many health professionals, still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.” Stamatakis and his colleagues, on the other hand, wanted to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle. To study this, his team used data from nearly 25, 000 adults who were non-exercisers. Without these data, it was almost impossible to continue the study. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death. The team found that people who did at least four one-to-two-minute high intensity physical activities every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent chance of dying from a cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, “The more, the better.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明短时间高强度的活动有益健康。 1．What did the recent study find? A．An inactive lifestyle is harmful but hard to change. B．More physical exercises can make you more active. C．Doing daily housework is also a kind of exercise. D．Daily short but intense activities do good to health. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，最近的研究表明，短时间高强度的活动有益健康。故选D。 2．What does the underlined word “vigorously” most probably mean? A．Energetically.　　　 B．Continuously. C．Frequently. D．Creatively. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。“done somewhat vigorously in short bouts”在句中作后置定语修饰“daily life activities”，根据后面“compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle”可推测，画线词应该和less active意思相反，应该是“高强度地，剧烈地”的意思。故选A。 3．Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 5? A．Research purposes. B．Research limitations. C．Research findings. D．Research methods. 解析：选D　段落大意题。根据第五段内容可知，本段主要讲到了研究过程中的数据收集及分析方法。故选D。 4．What would Stamatakis suggest? A．Going to exercise at fixed time and place. B．Avoiding movement of light intensity. C．Doing only 8 minutes intense activity every day. D．Carrying out more short bouts of intense activity. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Stamatakis认为短时间高强度的活动有益健康，降低死亡风险，因此他建议多做这样的活动，越多越好。故选D。 B Many people have an immediate negative reaction to the word fat. But according to a new study, fat tissue (组织) itself is very, very important for health. It's an important place to store the extra energy in our body. Fat tissue is supposed to be stored under the skin. If it can't go there, it's going to other places such as your liver, heart or pancreas (胰腺). More fat in those organs could affect how well they function. Exercising regularly over time makes fat tissue a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight. To see how exercise impacts fat tissue, researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with overweight problem: those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years, and those who did not exercise regularly. People who had a history of regular exercise in the past had fat cells with features that allowed them to store more fat. Results from the former group showed several structural changes in fat tissue, including slightly smaller fat cells and more of them, and changes in proteins (蛋白质) that adjust body fat remodeling. However, many of the above changes disappeared when regular exercise stopped. Dr. Horowitz, professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan, said, “This is one of the big reasons why it is so important to be physically active most days. A lot of the body's exercises help you to keep going longer or push harder in your works.” The key takeaway of the study is that we're broadening our understanding of why it is helpful to exercise. There are so many ways to exercise, and figuring out a way to make it part of the daily routine plays an important role. Of course, you should check with your doctor first to make sure it's safe. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了脂肪组织的健康功能与其储存位置密切相关。研究发现规律运动能改善脂肪组织的功能，使其更有效储存能量，从而提升健康水平。 5．What can we learn about fat tissue from paragraph 1? A．It is most energy-demanding. B．It has little to do with fatness. C．Its location makes a difference. D．Its function is to control health. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Fat tissue is supposed to be stored ...could affect how well they function.”可知，脂肪组织的储存位置会对健康产生影响。故选C。 6．How are the participants in the research grouped? A．By their health problem. B．By their body weight. C．By their workout habit. D．By their personal hobby. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“To see how exercise impacts fat tissue ...and those who did not exercise regularly.”可知，研究人员按锻炼习惯对参与者进行分组。故选C。 7．What is stressed in paragraph 3? A．Weight loss depends on less fat tissue. B．Exercise can reshape protein structure. C．Harder training results in stronger fat tissue. D．Fat tissue is closely related to regular exercise. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Results from the former group showed ...changes disappeared when regular exercise stopped.”可知，规律运动者的脂肪细胞结构更优，但停止运动后这些改善会消失。因此，本段是在强调脂肪组织的健康功能与规律运动密切相关。故选D。 8．What is the main idea of the text? A．Fat tissue is harmful to health. B．Regular exercise improves fat tissue function. C．Exercise should be done only a few times a week. D．Avoiding weight gain is the key to health. 解析：选B　主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Exercising regularly over time makes fat tissue a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight.”和最后一段中“The key takeaway of the study is that we're broadening our understanding of why it is helpful to exercise.”可知，文章主要介绍一项研究。这项研究证明，规律运动能改善脂肪组织的功能，使其更有效储存能量，从而提升健康水平。故选B。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Many teens in high school want to try out for sports because they think it will make them popular. __9__ Here are some reasons that you'll find comforting. With electronic products becoming more popular, it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves. Kids used to hang out around the town; now they just sit at home. __10__ In this case, they'll learn how to interact and work as a team — something they'll find useful later in life. __11__ Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape. What's more, these days, it's becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games. You can also help them practice, and help with team fundraising. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them. You may say “but my teen isn't good enough to make their school team”. __12__ There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports. You can always check out other “for-fun” clubs. You could look into sports that you may not have thought of. If you do a little research, you're sure to find something your teen will enjoy. Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. __13__ A．Take it easy. B．Take your chance. C．Sports help address teens' overweight. D．Then how can you develop a hobby in having sports? E．So why not talk to them about getting into sports today? F．However, there are other benefits your teens don't realize. G．Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年参加体育运动的好处。 9．选F　根据上文可知，高中的青少年认为运动会让他们受欢迎，F项承接上文，指出运动不仅会让青少年受欢迎，还有青少年没有意识到的其他好处。 10．选G　根据上文可知，随着电子产品的流行，青少年不再喜欢出去社交。G项承接上文，指出参加体育运动可以给他们一个出去社交的机会。 11．选C　下文介绍了参加团队运动有助于青少年减肥或保持身材，C项“运动有助于解决青少年超重问题。”能够概括段落主旨。 12．选A　根据上文可知，许多家长担心孩子不够优秀，不能加入校队，A项 “别担心。”承接上文，针对家长的焦虑作出劝解，同时引起下文，介绍解决办法。 13．选E　上文介绍了运动的好处，E项承接上文，指出既然运动有这么多好处，为什么不和孩子谈谈关于参加体育运动的事呢？ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
