A [2025·辽宁实验中学高二期中]
Confused by food nutrition labels? You’re not alone. Now, researchers have suggested an alternative: labelling the amount and type of exercise needed to burn off the calories.
Current food and drink labels display nutritional information such as the amount of calories and fat. However, researchers led by Prof. Amanda Daley at Loughborough University say that these labels are having a limited effect on changing buying habits. Instead, they propose a labelling system called “physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure” (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories. For example, a small bar of milk chocolate contains 230 calories, which would take about 42 minutes of walking, or 22 minutes of running, to burn off.
They pooled the data from 14 previous studies which compared the impact of PACE labelling with that of other types of food labelling, or with no food labelling at all. They calculated that PACE labelling could cut a person’s daily calorie intake by up to 200 calories. “Public health agencies may want to consider the possibility of including policies to promote PACE food labelling as a strategy that contributes to the prevention and treatment of obesity (肥胖) and related diseases,” said the researchers.
The UK’s Royal Society for Public Health has already called for PACE labelling to replace the current system. However, not everyone is convinced. A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat said, “We believe that anti-obesity campaigns that focus on weight instead of health are ineffective and that recommending more exercise is an ineffective and over-simplistic approach to a complex problem. Most urgently, public health campaigns must consider people’s mental as well as their physical health, moving from obesity-shaming to evidence-based campaigns that build confidence and support healthy eating.”
( )1.What additional information can you get from PACE labels compared with the current ones?
A.Exercise advice.
B.Fat content.
C.Nutrition facts.
D.Calorie content.
( )2.What does the underlined word “pooled” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Collected. B.Distributed.
C.Deleted. D.Proved.
( )3.What can we know from the spokesperson’s comments?
A.Obesity is a physical problem and can be solved by increasing exercise.
B.Obesity is related to eating habits and can be tackled by cutting calories.
C.Obesity is no simple problem but can be settled by focusing on weight.
D.Obesity is complicated and should be tackled physically and mentally.
( )4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.PACE: a new labelling option
B.Nutrition: a basic step towards health
C.Labelling: a smart advisor for shopping
D.Exercise: an effective treatment for obesity
B [2026·江苏扬州中学高二月考]
For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm of our steps while we’re walking.
Researchers studied 45 subjects walking in a virtual environment along a 10-metre path. During each 9-second walk, subjects responded to visual inputs. Eye and head movements, as well as walking information, were tracked. The study shows that the brain processes vision in a rhythmic manner, rising and falling in response to rhythm with our steps. When swinging from one step to the next, visual perception is good and reactions are fast. During the footfall, however, our vision is not as sharp and reactions are slow.
Lead author Dr Davidson said, “We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision but this is deceptive. Compare it with a duck swimming in a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.” For the mismatch, the current view is that the brain is a predictive machine that actively predicts what ought to be there and fills in the missing details.
It is unclear why our brain’s perceptual processes are so closely related to walking. Professor Alais said, “One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.”
Dr Davidson said, “An obvious question is whether the connection is more evident in the elderly given difficulty with balance as we age. The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes.
( )5.What happens to a walking man according to the study?
A.The head moves with the steps.
B.The brain works best during the footfall.
C.The level of vision experiences changes.
D.The eyes’ information processing is limited.
( )6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in Paragraph 3?
A.Effortless. B.Unreliable.
C.Inspiring. D.Changeable.
( )7.What does Professor Alais’ explanation highlight?
A.The narrow range of human focus.
B.The cooperation among body parts.
C.The different tasks of the human senses.
D.The adaptive nature of brain processing.
( )8.Which statement about the findings will Dr Davidson agree with?
A.They help improve athletes’ recovery.
B.They need to be tested on a larger scale.
C.They may fail to apply to elderly people.
D.They may drive progress in various areas.

【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了传统的食品营养标签对人们改变购买习惯的指导作用有限,研究人员提出了PACE(体育活动热量当量)标签系统,这种标签系统能显示消耗热量需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories.”(相反,他们提出了一个名为“体育活动热量当量”的标签系统,此标签系统能显示消耗热量需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。)可知,PACE标签系统能从体力活动锻炼角度对食品设定标签。因此,与当前的标签相比,人们可以从PACE标签中获得锻炼建议。故选A项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词所在句“…which compared the impact of PACE labelling with that of other types of food labelling, or with no food labelling at all.”(……这些研究比较了PACE标签与其他类型食品标签的影响,或者与根本没有食品标签的影响。)可推知,画线词所在句which前的句意为“他们收集了之前14项研究的数据”,即画线词pooled意为“收集”,因此,A项collected(收集)符合题意。故选A项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段“A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat said, ‘We believe that anti-obesity campaigns that focus on weight instead of health are ineffective and that recommending more exercise is an ineffective and over-simplistic approach to a complex problem. Most urgently, public health campaigns must consider people’s mental as well as their physical health, moving from obesity-shaming to evidence-based campaigns that build confidence and support healthy eating.’”(饮食失调慈善机构Beat的一位发言人说:“我们认为,以体重而不是健康为重点的反肥胖运动是无效的,建议更多的锻炼是一种无效的、过于简单化的解决复杂问题的方法。最紧迫的是,公共卫生运动必须考虑人们的心理和身体健康,从肥胖羞辱转向建立信心和支持健康饮食的基于证据的活动。”)可知,从发言人的评论中我们能了解到D项(肥胖问题是复杂的,应该从身体和精神上加以解决。)符合题意。故选D项。
4.A 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由第一段“Confused by food nutrition labels? You’re not alone. Now, researchers have suggested an alternative: labelling the amount and type of exercise needed to burn off the calories.”(被食品营养标签搞糊涂了?你不是一个人。现在,研究人员提出了另一种选择:标明消耗热量所需的运动量和类型。)以及第二段“Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories.”可知,本文主要介绍了传统的食品营养标签对人们改变购买习惯的指导作用有限,研究人员提出了名为“体育活动热量当量”的标签系统,此标签系统能显示消耗热量需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。因此,这篇文章最好的标题是A项(PACE:一种新的标签选择)。故选A项。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神经科学家首次发现,我们走路时的视觉感知变化与我们的步伐节奏之间存在联系。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm of our steps while we’re walking.”(神经科学家首次在我们走路时的视觉感知变化和步伐节奏之间建立了联系。)可知,走路的人的视觉水平经历着变化。故选C项。
6.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中“We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision…”(我们有意识地察觉到流畅的视觉流……)和but以及下文“Compare it with a duck swimming in a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.”(把它与在池塘里游泳的鸭子做比较。在表面流畅的运动之下,有很多周期性活动。)可知,我们有意识地察觉到流畅的视觉流,但这是骗人的。画线词deceptive意为“欺骗性的”,和B选项unreliable“不可靠的”意思相近。故选B项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Professor Alais said, ‘One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.’”(艾莱斯教授说:“一种可能的解释是,当你的脚站稳并计划下一步时,视觉变得次于运动控制。一旦你处于脚步之间的摇摆阶段,大脑就会切换回优先处理对世界的感知,创造出一种与你的步伐速度相协调的持续感知节奏。”)可推知,艾莱斯教授的解释强调了大脑处理的自适应特性。故选D项。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…‘…The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.’ He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes.”(……“……这些发现还提出了一种令人兴奋的可能性,即我们可以使用VR头盔开发廉价而简单的医学测试,或者利用这些信息开发针对早期肌肉疾病或一些精神疾病的测试,这些疾病可以在异常行走中表现出来。”他说,它还可以应用于体育科学的进一步研究,以提高运动员的决策和反应时间。)可推知,戴维森博士认为这些发现可能会推动各个领域的进步。故选D项。
