(来源:The Economist)If you ask people why they do not exercise as much as they should, the most common answer is lack of time. The World Health Organisation recommends 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise, or 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, every week, as well as two sessions of strength training. If you’re juggling a job, a commute and children, that can be a big ask.
There may, however, be a shortcut. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) promises to get you fit with just a few minutes of work a week. It sounds too good to be true. But the evidence suggests it really works—if, that is, you can stomach the discomfort.
HIIT came to prominence with the work of Tabata Izumi, a sports scientist at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. In 1996Dr Tabata published a study comparing the effects of four minutes a day of maximal-effort training on an exercise bike, five days a week, with a conventional cardio workout of an hour a day on the same bike at a lower intensity. After six weeks the aerobic fitness of the conventional group had risen substantially. But the fitness of the max-effort group had gone up even more.
There is, though, no such thing as a free lunch. The trade-off for HIIT’s low time commitment is a big boost to intensity. When Dr Tabata said “maximal effort”, he really meant it. Subjects had to spend 20 seconds going all-out, rest for ten seconds, then do another 20-second burst at full power, repeated seven or eight times. That may not sound too bad, but studies of HIIT talk drily of “feelings of nausea”; anecdotal reports mention vomiting from the effort.
Unlike slow-and-steady cardio training, HIIT stresses all three of the body’s main energy systems at once. The aerobic system—which relies on oxygen to metabolise glucose or fats—is the most efficient and the one most targeted by standard endurance exercise. But it also has the lowest power output. During the sprinting phase of a HIIT session, much of the energy therefore comes from the anaerobic glycolytic and phosphocreatine systems. These produce more power, but exhaust their metabolic fuels quickly. During rest, the body works to regenerate those fuels, before the tanks are drained again in the next sprint.
All this seems to trigger the same sorts of biochemical adaptation as standard endurance exercise, plus some others into the bargain. HIIT boosts VO₂ max—a measure of maximal oxygen consumption, and therefore aerobic fitness—just as much as standard endurance training. But unlike jogging, it boosts the anaerobic systems as well.
If the potential for nausea has started to put you off, then the good news is that less hard-core workouts than the one Dr Tabata invented also seem to work. One study, published in 2010, reported positive effects from eight to 12 sets of 60 seconds of hard (though not maximal) effort followed by 75 seconds of recovery. Another, published in 2017, noted that doing just two to four sets of less intense HIIT might be enough.
Inspired by such results, and by the understanding that the best exercise regime is one people can stick to, most modern HIIT programmes dial back on Dr Tabata’s original. Vomiting, in other words, is not compulsory. So, if jogging is too boring or too time-consuming, HIIT might be the way to go. Just be prepared for a shock to the system.
【全文翻译】
当你问人们为什么没有做到足量运动时,最常见的回答就是没时间。世界卫生组织建议:每周进行 75 分钟高强度运动,或 150 分钟中等强度运动,外加两次力量训练。如果你既要应付工作、通勤,还要照料孩子,要完成这些要求着实不易。
不过,或许存在一条捷径。高强度间歇训练(HIIT)宣称,每周只需短短几分钟训练就能强身健体。这听上去好得让人难以置信。但研究证据表明它确实有效 —— 前提是你能承受训练带来的不适感。
HIIT 因京都立命馆大学的运动科学家田畑泉的研究而广为人知。1996 年,田畑博士发表了一项研究:将受试者分为两组,一组每天在健身单车上进行 4 分钟极限强度训练,每周 5 天;另一组则在同款单车上完成每天一小时、强度更低的传统有氧训练。六周之后,传统训练组的有氧能力大幅提升,而极限强度组的体能提升效果还要更加显著。
然而,天下没有免费的午餐。HIIT 耗时少的代价,就是训练强度大幅提高。田畑博士所说的 “竭尽全力”,绝非虚言。受试者必须全力运动 20 秒,休息 10 秒,接着再一轮 20 秒全力爆发,循环 7 至 8 组。听上去似乎不算太难,但有关 HIIT 的研究文献会客观提及 “恶心不适感”;不少亲身实践者反馈,训练强度大到会引发呕吐。
和平缓持续的有氧训练不同,HIIT 会同时调动人体三大主要供能系统。有氧系统依靠氧气分解葡萄糖或脂肪供能,效率最高,也是传统耐力运动主要锻炼的系统,但输出功率最低。因此在 HIIT 的冲刺阶段,大部分能量来自无氧糖酵解系统与磷酸肌酸系统。这两套系统输出功率更高,但代谢燃料消耗极快。休息阶段,身体会重新合成储备能量,直到下一轮冲刺再次将能量耗尽。
这整套训练模式,除了可以实现传统耐力运动带来的各类生化层面的身体改善,还会产生额外增益。HIIT 能够提升最大摄氧量(VO₂ max,代表人体有氧能力的核心指标),效果和传统耐力训练不相上下。而且不同于慢跑,它同时还可以强化无氧供能系统。
如果一想到可能会恶心反胃就让你打退堂鼓,那么有个好消息:不必照搬田畑博士那套超高强度方案,降低难度的训练同样可以见效。2010 年的一项研究表明:完成 8‑12 组 60 秒高强度(非极限)运动,之后搭配 75 秒休息恢复,就能收获正向训练效果。2017 年另一项研究指出,仅完成 2‑4 组低强度 HIIT 就可能达到训练目的。
受这些研究结果启发,同时考虑到能长期坚持的运动方案才是最好的方案,如今绝大多数 HIIT 课程,都调低了田畑博士最初版本的训练强度。换句话说,训练到呕吐并不是必选项。所以,如果你觉得慢跑太过枯燥或者耗时太久,HIIT 会是不错的选择,只是要做好心理准备,你的身体会迎来一次强烈冲击。

Passage 1
For many professional athletes, retirement means saying goodbye to training and competitions. But for Shang Chunsong, born in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, former captain of China’s national women’s gymnastics team and an Olympic bronze medalist, it marks the beginning of an exciting journey in another sport — parkour (跑酷).
On Nov 17, 28-year-old Shang won the gold medal in women’s freestyle at the Parkour World Championships in Japan, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a world championship in parkour.
Shang joined the national gymnastics team in 2010 and became the captain of the women’s team. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Shang helped China bring home the bronze medal in the team event. However, she finished fourth in the women’s individual all-around competition, missing out on a medal.
Such regrets became a burden for Shang. Although she had many victories in national competitions, she has never won a world championship. She retired from gymnastics in 2022 and decided to switch to parkour, an exciting extreme sport.
Years of hard training in gymnastics paved the way for Shang’s move to parkour, as both sports require skills and flexibility. Compared to the strict rules of gymnastics, parkour has a more open style, giving Shang a strong sense of freedom. However, “the biggest challenge of the extreme sport is overcoming fear,” Shang told the Global Times. Parkour landings occur on hard surfaces, greatly increasing the risk of injury.
While parkour training often leaves Shang injured, she continues to chase her passion. Her next goal is to win gold at the World Games 2025 in Chengdu. “I dream of seeing parkour become an Olympic event one day — hopefully while I’m still competing,” Shang said.
1.What did Shang Chunsong accomplish on November 17?
A.She won the team event gold medal. B.She set a new world record in parkour.
C.She won a world championship in parkour. D.She won a bronze medal in women’s freestyle.
2.What was one of Shang’s regrets in the 2016 Rio Olympics?
A.She did not participate in it. B.She did not win a medal in it.
C.She did not win a team medal. D.She did not win an individual medal.
3.For Shang Chunsong, the biggest challenge in parkour lies in ________.
A.skills B.flexibility C.fear D.injuries
4.Which one would be the best title of the text?

Passage 2
Ronda Rousey is an American mixed martial artist, actress, and former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion. She became famous as the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight (雏量级) champion and helped bring women’s fighting into the mainstream.
Rousey was born on February 1, 1987, in Riverside, California. Her childhood was challenging. She had a speech disorder and did not speak until she was six years old. When she was eight, her father took his own life after a serious injury left him unable to walk. Her mother, a former world judo (柔道) champion, encouraged Ronda to take up judo as a way to deal with her emotions.
Rousey excelled quickly. At 15, she made the U.S. Olympic team. At 16, she became the youngest American to earn the number one national ranking in her division. She won a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and retired from judo at 21.
After the Olympics, Rousey struggled financially. She worked at a bar and even lived in her car for a time. She then turned to mixed martial arts. In 2010, she had her first amateur match and won her first fight in just 23 seconds using her famous armbar technique. She turned professional soon after and won her first four fights in less than one minute each.
In 2012 Rousey became the first woman to sign with the UFC. She successfully defended her championship title multiple times, often winning in the first round. Many of her fights ended in under one minute. Her speed and power made her a superstar. She appeared on magazine covers and in movies like The Expendables 3 and Furious 7.
However, her run of victories ended in November 2015 when she lost to Holly Holm. Another loss followed in 2016. Rousey then moved to professional wrestling, joining WWE. She became a champion there as well and is one of only eight female Triple Crown champions in WWE history.
Rousey married UFC fighter Travis Browne, and they have two daughters. She returned to the fighting cage for a special match against Gina Carano. Rousey said this would likely be her last fight, as she wanted to focus on her family.

Passage 3
Behind every shining champion lie countless days of silent effort. Wu Yize, a 22-year-old snooker talent from China, finally made history in the 2026 World Snooker (斯诺克) Championship. He defeated Shaun Murphy narrowly with a score of 18:17, becoming the first post-2000s world champion in snooker. This victory also marked China’s second straight world title after Zhao Xintong’s success in 2025.
Born in Lanzhou in 2003, Wu showed a gift for snooker at the age of seven. Driven by deep love for the sport, he received professional training at 13. To offer him a better training environment, his father sold the local antique (古董的) store and moved with him to Sheffield, the hometown of snooker. The early days abroad were extremely hard. The father and son lived in a small dark flat with limited money, and they struggled with cultural and language differences.
Years of strict training and tough life experiences shaped Wu’s calm personality. On the crowded court in England, Wu once misunderstood the fans’ cheers as boos (嘘声). However, he never lost his temper (脾气) and kept a clear mind throughout the match. His steady playing style earned him the nickname “Priest Wu” among Chinese fans.
Apart from the honor, the championship brought him generous prize money and a huge ranking upgrade. His global ranking jumped from tenth to fourth, reaching a new career height. When interviewed, Wu said his parents were his biggest spiritual support. He also expressed his ambition to create a unique era for himself in the snooker field. Such firm determination drives him to keep moving forward.
In fact, snooker has gained increasing popularity in China. Since Ding Junhui drew public attention to this sport in 2005, more professional tournaments have been held nationwide. Nowadays, China hosts one-third of global snooker events, witnessing the rapid development of Chinese snooker.
1.What do we know about Wu Yize’s victory in 2026?
A.He beat Zhao Xintong in the final match.
B.He won the game by a narrow score.
C.He got the highest score in a single round.
D.He became the youngest snooker champion.
2.Why did Wu’s father move to Sheffield with him?
A.To open a new antique store there.
B.To experience local foreign culture.
C.To escape the difficult life in Lanzhou.
D.To create better training conditions for Wu.
3.What can we infer about Wu Yize in Paragraph 3 and 4?
A.He received generous prize money.
B.He totally gave up his family business for his career.
C.He might have felt upset facing foreign audience’s response.
D.He has long ranked fourth in the world snooker circle.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.China plays an important role in world snooker nowadays.
B.Ding Junhui began to play snooker professionally in 2005.
C.All top snooker players in China are influenced by Ding Junhui.
D.Chinese snooker events have replaced overseas ones gradually.

【导语】文章主要讲述了“00后”斯诺克选手吴宜泽克服艰苦训练环境,在2026年世锦赛夺冠并创造历史的事迹。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“He defeated Shaun Murphy narrowly with a score of 18:17, becoming the first post-2000s world champion in snooker.(他以18:17的微弱优势击败肖恩·墨菲,成为斯诺克界首位“00后”世界冠军)”可知,他在决赛中以微弱比分获胜。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“To offer him a better training environment, his father sold the local antique store and moved with him to Sheffield, the hometown of snooker.(为了给他提供更好的训练环境,他的父亲卖掉了当地的古董店,和他一起搬到了斯诺克之乡谢菲尔德)”可知,父亲搬家的目的是为吴宜泽创造更好的训练条件。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中“On the crowded court in England, Wu once misunderstood the fans’ cheers as boos. However, he never lost his temper (脾气) and kept a clear mind throughout the match. His steady playing style earned him the nickname “Priest Wu” among Chinese fans.(在英格兰拥挤的球场上,吴宜泽一度误将观众的欢呼声当成了嘘声。 然而,他从未发过脾气,在整场比赛中保持了清醒的头脑。他稳定的打球风格为他赢得了中国球迷的绰号“吴牧师”)”以及第四段中“His global ranking jumped from tenth to fourth, reaching a new career height.(他的全球排名从第10位跃升至第4位,达到了职业生涯的新高度)”可知,面对观众的反应他当时可能感到失落但很快调整了状态,且第4名是夺冠后的新高度,并非长期保持。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nowadays, China hosts one-third of global snooker events, witnessing the rapid development of Chinese snooker.(如今,中国承办了全球三分之一的斯诺克赛事,见证了中国斯诺克的飞速发展)”可知,中国目前在世界斯诺克领域中扮演着重要角色。
Passage 4
Li Jie stood on the courts of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour MT400 tournament in Beijing’s Changping district, an international event that drew 880 tennis enthusiasts from home and abroad. She wasn’t just watching. She was competing. A year ago, Li Jie could not even deliver a basic overhand serve. The ball would drop at her feet or sail long. Rallies (对打) felt fragile. 1
Designed for players aged 30 and over, the tournament offers seven age groups from 30 all the way to over 70. According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year. 2 The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.
3 Li teamed up with a female partner of similar age to compete in the 50+ doubles category on the first day. They even faced the second-seeded doubles pair. “I came here not for the win or loss,” Li said. “I just hoped to hit a few good shots.”
“I used to just rally back and forth — no matches at all,” she admits. “I only really started playing last year.” 4 The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88). There, Li found her tribe — like-minded partners to practice with and organize friendly matches. That’s when tennis stopped being a casual hobby and became a serious passion.
“Work and life are just like playing tennis. 5 What you have to do is get through them either way. On the tennis court, no matter how bad your form is, or how good your opponent is, you still have to face the match. Then you try to win through effort and by making the necessary adjustments,” Li said in the interview.
A.Matches were out of the question.
B.The game changer came early last year.
C.The five-day tournament kicked off on May 13.
D.There will always be smooth days and really tough days.
E.The daily training program for a match actually stressed her out.
F.She kept a balanced diet and stuck to a fixed routine before matches.
G.The 30+ and 40+ categories remained the categories with the most participants.
【答案】1.A 2.G 3.C 4.B 5.D

2.由前文“According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year.(报名数据显示,今年赛事在多个年龄组都人气高涨。)”以及后文“The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.(但50岁以上、55岁以上、60岁以上组别参赛人数稳步增长,充分展现出北京乃至全国业余网球运动蓬勃发展的态势。)”可知,前后存在转折对比关系,后文介绍高龄组别人数持续上涨,本空应交代低龄主力组别参赛情况。G项表示“30岁以上和40岁以上组别依旧是参赛人数最多的组别。”能承接上文报名火爆的内容,同时和后文形成转折对比,符合题意。
3.本题在段首,是该段主旨句。由后文“Li teamed up with a female partner of similar age to compete in the 50+ doubles category on the first day. They even faced the second-seeded doubles pair.(李杰和一位年龄相仿的女搭档组队,在首日参加 50 岁以上双人组别赛事。她们甚至遇上了二号种子双打组合。)”可知,后文介绍李杰参加本次网球赛事双打比赛的相关情况,本空总起段落,点明赛事开幕,引出下文参赛情节。C项表示“这场为期五天的赛事于5月13日拉开帷幕。”能总领本段内容,符合题意。
4.由前文“I only really started playing last year.(我去年才真正开始打球。)”以及后文“The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88).(该网球中心推出错峰‘开放畅打’时段:早上7点至下午4点打球,费用不足40元,折合5.88美元。)”可知,前文说明去年才开始打球,后文讲述改变她网球之路的场地优惠活动,本空起到过渡作用,引出改变她网球生活的关键契机。B项表示“转折点出现在去年年初。”能承上启下,符合题意。
5.由前文“Work and life are just like playing tennis.(工作和生活就像打网球。)”以及后文“What you have to do is get through them either way.(无论如何你都必须熬过这些困境。)”可知,前文将生活比作网球,后文阐述要直面困境,本空要说明生活有顺境也有逆境。D项表示“人生总有顺遂的日子,也会有十分难熬的时刻。”能承接上文比喻,引出下文感悟,符合题意。
Passage 5
The prize may belong to the fastest. However, sometimes the person who lifts the trophy (奖杯) is not the only 1 . That was clearly seen at a recent cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio.
There were two main 2 in the event: Marcus Lee and Daniel Rivera. Marcus, a 17-year-old from Lakeside High School, had 3 for months, dreaming of earning a sports scholarship. Daniel, from North Ridge High, was known by his classmates as someone who would rather 4 others than gain attention for himself.
The race went 5 at first. With less than one kilometre to go, however, Marcus 6 on a loose stone. Then he lost his 7 and fell, badly hurting his knee. “I heard a 8 sound and felt something go wrong,” Daniel later recalled.
Marcus tried to wave and 9 Daniel to pass him and keep going. For most athletes, crossing the line first is the main 10 . But in that moment, winning suddenly seemed less 11 to Daniel. As he reached Marcus, he saw the pain on his face and heard his short, 12 breaths.
Instead of running ahead, Daniel stopped and put Marcus’s arm over his 13 . Slowly, step by step, they 14 towards the finish line together. “Helping him finish meant more than any 15 ,” Daniel said later. “That day, we both won in a different way.”

Suddenly, Jim went ahead of Tom. So happy and proud was Jim that he thought he must be the winner again. However, when there were just a few meters away from the finishing line, Jim felt exhausted. He ran out of breath and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. Although he was anxious to run forward quickly, he had no strength. Gradually, Jim slowed down. But Tom kept running forward. Even if he fell behind, he never gave up. With his good endurance, he sped forward in the last 100 meters. Eventually, he surpassed Jim to win the first place and delightedly received the trophy.
Jim’s mother came up to Tom and praised him for his hard work. She smiled and said: “Well done, boy. Your hard work finally paid off ! You set an example for all students.” Failing to win the competition, Jim was upset . He hung his head and kept silent, with sad tears welling up from his eyes. He did not understand why he had lost the game. His mother said : “ Jim, talent without hard work is useless. Tom practiced running every day, so he won. Hard work is the only way to success.” From then on, Jim understood the importance of hard work and became more diligent, which helped him achieve more competitions in his life.

Suddenly, Jim went ahead of Tom. So happy and proud was Jim that he thought he must be the winner again. However, when there were just a few meters away from the finishing line, Jim felt exhausted. He ran out of breath and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. Although he was anxious to run forward quickly, he had no strength. Gradually, Jim slowed down. But Tom kept running forward. Even if he fell behind, he never gave up. With his good endurance, he sped forward in the last 100 meters. Eventually, he surpassed Jim to win the first place and delightedly received the trophy.
Jim’s mother came up to Tom and praised him for his hard work. She smiled and said: “Well done, boy. Your hard work finally paid off ! You set an example for all students.” Failing to win the competition, Jim was upset . He hung his head and kept silent, with sad tears welling up from his eyes. He did not understand why he had lost the game. His mother said : “ Jim, talent without hard work is useless. Tom practiced running every day, so he won. Hard work is the only way to success.” From then on, Jim understood the importance of hard work and became more diligent, which helped him achieve more competitions in his life.

(来源:The Economist)If you ask people why they do not exercise as much as they should, the most common answer is lack of time. The World Health Organisation recommends 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise, or 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, every week, as well as two sessions of strength training. If you’re juggling a job, a commute and children, that can be a big ask.
There may, however, be a shortcut. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) promises to get you fit with just a few minutes of work a week. It sounds too good to be true. But the evidence suggests it really works—if, that is, you can stomach the discomfort.
HIIT came to prominence with the work of Tabata Izumi, a sports scientist at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. In 1996Dr Tabata published a study comparing the effects of four minutes a day of maximal-effort training on an exercise bike, five days a week, with a conventional cardio workout of an hour a day on the same bike at a lower intensity. After six weeks the aerobic fitness of the conventional group had risen substantially. But the fitness of the max-effort group had gone up even more.
There is, though, no such thing as a free lunch. The trade-off for HIIT’s low time commitment is a big boost to intensity. When Dr Tabata said “maximal effort”, he really meant it. Subjects had to spend 20 seconds going all-out, rest for ten seconds, then do another 20-second burst at full power, repeated seven or eight times. That may not sound too bad, but studies of HIIT talk drily of “feelings of nausea”; anecdotal reports mention vomiting from the effort.
Unlike slow-and-steady cardio training, HIIT stresses all three of the body’s main energy systems at once. The aerobic system—which relies on oxygen to metabolise glucose or fats—is the most efficient and the one most targeted by standard endurance exercise. But it also has the lowest power output. During the sprinting phase of a HIIT session, much of the energy therefore comes from the anaerobic glycolytic and phosphocreatine systems. These produce more power, but exhaust their metabolic fuels quickly. During rest, the body works to regenerate those fuels, before the tanks are drained again in the next sprint.
All this seems to trigger the same sorts of biochemical adaptation as standard endurance exercise, plus some others into the bargain. HIIT boosts VO₂ max—a measure of maximal oxygen consumption, and therefore aerobic fitness—just as much as standard endurance training. But unlike jogging, it boosts the anaerobic systems as well.
If the potential for nausea has started to put you off, then the good news is that less hard-core workouts than the one Dr Tabata invented also seem to work. One study, published in 2010, reported positive effects from eight to 12 sets of 60 seconds of hard (though not maximal) effort followed by 75 seconds of recovery. Another, published in 2017, noted that doing just two to four sets of less intense HIIT might be enough.
Inspired by such results, and by the understanding that the best exercise regime is one people can stick to, most modern HIIT programmes dial back on Dr Tabata’s original. Vomiting, in other words, is not compulsory. So, if jogging is too boring or too time-consuming, HIIT might be the way to go. Just be prepared for a shock to the system.
【全文翻译】
当你问人们为什么没有做到足量运动时,最常见的回答就是没时间。世界卫生组织建议:每周进行 75 分钟高强度运动,或 150 分钟中等强度运动,外加两次力量训练。如果你既要应付工作、通勤,还要照料孩子,要完成这些要求着实不易。
不过,或许存在一条捷径。高强度间歇训练(HIIT)宣称,每周只需短短几分钟训练就能强身健体。这听上去好得让人难以置信。但研究证据表明它确实有效 —— 前提是你能承受训练带来的不适感。
HIIT 因京都立命馆大学的运动科学家田畑泉的研究而广为人知。1996 年,田畑博士发表了一项研究:将受试者分为两组,一组每天在健身单车上进行 4 分钟极限强度训练,每周 5 天;另一组则在同款单车上完成每天一小时、强度更低的传统有氧训练。六周之后,传统训练组的有氧能力大幅提升,而极限强度组的体能提升效果还要更加显著。
然而,天下没有免费的午餐。HIIT 耗时少的代价,就是训练强度大幅提高。田畑博士所说的 “竭尽全力”,绝非虚言。受试者必须全力运动 20 秒,休息 10 秒,接着再一轮 20 秒全力爆发,循环 7 至 8 组。听上去似乎不算太难,但有关 HIIT 的研究文献会客观提及 “恶心不适感”;不少亲身实践者反馈,训练强度大到会引发呕吐。
和平缓持续的有氧训练不同,HIIT 会同时调动人体三大主要供能系统。有氧系统依靠氧气分解葡萄糖或脂肪供能,效率最高,也是传统耐力运动主要锻炼的系统,但输出功率最低。因此在 HIIT 的冲刺阶段,大部分能量来自无氧糖酵解系统与磷酸肌酸系统。这两套系统输出功率更高,但代谢燃料消耗极快。休息阶段,身体会重新合成储备能量,直到下一轮冲刺再次将能量耗尽。
这整套训练模式,除了可以实现传统耐力运动带来的各类生化层面的身体改善,还会产生额外增益。HIIT 能够提升最大摄氧量(VO₂ max,代表人体有氧能力的核心指标),效果和传统耐力训练不相上下。而且不同于慢跑,它同时还可以强化无氧供能系统。
如果一想到可能会恶心反胃就让你打退堂鼓,那么有个好消息:不必照搬田畑博士那套超高强度方案,降低难度的训练同样可以见效。2010 年的一项研究表明:完成 8‑12 组 60 秒高强度(非极限)运动,之后搭配 75 秒休息恢复,就能收获正向训练效果。2017 年另一项研究指出,仅完成 2‑4 组低强度 HIIT 就可能达到训练目的。
受这些研究结果启发,同时考虑到能长期坚持的运动方案才是最好的方案,如今绝大多数 HIIT 课程,都调低了田畑博士最初版本的训练强度。换句话说,训练到呕吐并不是必选项。所以,如果你觉得慢跑太过枯燥或者耗时太久,HIIT 会是不错的选择,只是要做好心理准备,你的身体会迎来一次强烈冲击。

Passage 1
For many professional athletes, retirement means saying goodbye to training and competitions. But for Shang Chunsong, born in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, former captain of China’s national women’s gymnastics team and an Olympic bronze medalist, it marks the beginning of an exciting journey in another sport — parkour (跑酷).
On Nov 17, 28-year-old Shang won the gold medal in women’s freestyle at the Parkour World Championships in Japan, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a world championship in parkour.
Shang joined the national gymnastics team in 2010 and became the captain of the women’s team. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Shang helped China bring home the bronze medal in the team event. However, she finished fourth in the women’s individual all-around competition, missing out on a medal.
Such regrets became a burden for Shang. Although she had many victories in national competitions, she has never won a world championship. She retired from gymnastics in 2022 and decided to switch to parkour, an exciting extreme sport.
Years of hard training in gymnastics paved the way for Shang’s move to parkour, as both sports require skills and flexibility. Compared to the strict rules of gymnastics, parkour has a more open style, giving Shang a strong sense of freedom. However, “the biggest challenge of the extreme sport is overcoming fear,” Shang told the Global Times. Parkour landings occur on hard surfaces, greatly increasing the risk of injury.
While parkour training often leaves Shang injured, she continues to chase her passion. Her next goal is to win gold at the World Games 2025 in Chengdu. “I dream of seeing parkour become an Olympic event one day — hopefully while I’m still competing,” Shang said.

Passage 3
Behind every shining champion lie countless days of silent effort. Wu Yize, a 22-year-old snooker talent from China, finally made history in the 2026 World Snooker (斯诺克) Championship. He defeated Shaun Murphy narrowly with a score of 18:17, becoming the first post-2000s world champion in snooker. This victory also marked China’s second straight world title after Zhao Xintong’s success in 2025.
Born in Lanzhou in 2003, Wu showed a gift for snooker at the age of seven. Driven by deep love for the sport, he received professional training at 13. To offer him a better training environment, his father sold the local antique (古董的) store and moved with him to Sheffield, the hometown of snooker. The early days abroad were extremely hard. The father and son lived in a small dark flat with limited money, and they struggled with cultural and language differences.
Years of strict training and tough life experiences shaped Wu’s calm personality. On the crowded court in England, Wu once misunderstood the fans’ cheers as boos (嘘声). However, he never lost his temper (脾气) and kept a clear mind throughout the match. His steady playing style earned him the nickname “Priest Wu” among Chinese fans.
Apart from the honor, the championship brought him generous prize money and a huge ranking upgrade. His global ranking jumped from tenth to fourth, reaching a new career height. When interviewed, Wu said his parents were his biggest spiritual support. He also expressed his ambition to create a unique era for himself in the snooker field. Such firm determination drives him to keep moving forward.
In fact, snooker has gained increasing popularity in China. Since Ding Junhui drew public attention to this sport in 2005, more professional tournaments have been held nationwide. Nowadays, China hosts one-third of global snooker events, witnessing the rapid development of Chinese snooker.

Passage 4
Li Jie stood on the courts of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour MT400 tournament in Beijing’s Changping district, an international event that drew 880 tennis enthusiasts from home and abroad. She wasn’t just watching. She was competing. A year ago, Li Jie could not even deliver a basic overhand serve. The ball would drop at her feet or sail long. Rallies (对打) felt fragile. 1
Designed for players aged 30 and over, the tournament offers seven age groups from 30 all the way to over 70. According to registration data, it showed strong popularity across multiple age groups this year. 2 The 50+, 55+, and 60+ categories, however, showed steady growth, fully demonstrating the rising development of amateur tennis in Beijing and across China.
3 Li teamed up with a female partner of similar age to compete in the 50+ doubles category on the first day. They even faced the second-seeded doubles pair. “I came here not for the win or loss,” Li said. “I just hoped to hit a few good shots.”
“I used to just rally back and forth — no matches at all,” she admits. “I only really started playing last year.” 4 The center launched off-peak “open play” sessions: play from 7 am to 4 pm for just under 40 yuan ($5.88). There, Li found her tribe — like-minded partners to practice with and organize friendly matches. That’s when tennis stopped being a casual hobby and became a serious passion.
“Work and life are just like playing tennis. 5 What you have to do is get through them either way. On the tennis court, no matter how bad your form is, or how good your opponent is, you still have to face the match. Then you try to win through effort and by making the necessary adjustments,” Li said in the interview.
A.Matches were out of the question.
B.The game changer came early last year.
C.The five-day tournament kicked off on May 13.
D.There will always be smooth days and really tough days.
E.The daily training program for a match actually stressed her out.
F.She kept a balanced diet and stuck to a fixed routine before matches.
G.The 30+ and 40+ categories remained the categories with the most participants.

The race went 5 at first. With less than one kilometre to go, however, Marcus 6 on a loose stone. Then he lost his 7 and fell, badly hurting his knee. “I heard a 8 sound and felt something go wrong,” Daniel later recalled.
Marcus tried to wave and 9 Daniel to pass him and keep going. For most athletes, crossing the line first is the main 10 . But in that moment, winning suddenly seemed less 11 to Daniel. As he reached Marcus, he saw the pain on his face and heard his short, 12 breaths.
Instead of running ahead, Daniel stopped and put Marcus’s arm over his 13 . Slowly, step by step, they 14 towards the finish line together. “Helping him finish meant more than any 15 ,” Daniel said later. “That day, we both won in a different way.”

You are not practicing at all,” said Jim’s mother.
“Mom, you know how fast I am! Why should I waste my time running? Only I will win; no one else will win!” said Jim. Jim, you may be right but talent (天赋) without hard work is not good at all. This laziness of yours will cost you greatly. His mother warned him. Jim just laughed. He was so confident that he would win the trophy (奖杯) as no one else in his class was as fast as he was!
Tom, a classmate of Jim, was also participating (参加) in the running race. He was not a fast runner. However, he practiced till late at night and had developed great endurance (持久力) to run the race.
There were a few days left for the Sports Day but Jim did not practice at all. On the other hand, Tom practiced day and night.
The Sports Day was almost around the corner but Jim was confident that no one could beat him and had not practiced at all. But Tom with his hard work had become a very great runner.
