Ⅲ.阅读理解
Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity.The results were astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”
“If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.”
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
1.What causes children in the UK to be obese?
A.Eating ready meal.
B.Watching TV.
C.Doing Internet shopping.
D.Being lazy.
【答案与解析】 D 推断题。根据“This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school”可推知this指代“being lazy”。
2.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.British people are too lazy to do anything.
B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C.Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.
D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
【答案与解析】 D 推断题。根据倒数最后两段,谈的是英国有哪些城市是缺乏活力的,而且最后一段谈到的是缺乏活力所导致的恶果。A、B两项均过于扩大概念,而文中谈到1/3的人不愿赶车,并不能说很多人。
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.
B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.
【答案与解析】 A 细节题。根据第4段可知有1/6的人会在遥控坏了时,继续看一个频道,而不是1/6的人用遥控,可知A项错误。
4.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?
A.Basic.
B.Serious.
C.Vital.
D.Hard.
【答案与解析】 A 词义推测题。根据“If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks”可以看出作者是在强调“如果我们不控制懒散这一问题可能造成的恶果,那我们整个一代将不能胜任最基本的工作”。
5.All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK EXCEPT ________.
A.Glasgow
B.Birmingham
C.Nuffield
D.Southampton
【答案与解析】 C 细节题。由文中倒数第2段可知,市风懒散的城市不包括Nuffield。
Ⅳ.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:
Break a bad habit.
You don't really “break” habits. __1__ So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible (不能共存的) with what you usually do. You can't walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.
Grow your marriage.
__2__ It's always a give-and-take, always requires work. It's like if you planted a garden and came back six months later—you wouldn't even be able to find it. __3__Beat stress.
My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __4__ Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I'm on the tennis court. It's a great workout, and if I don't have that, I don't cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.
Refocus your anger.
Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don't mean. __5__ When you do that, you're a problem solver.
Don't medicate with food.
It never, ever works. You're denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I've got a problem.”
A.You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn't have unhealthy side effects.
B.I'll feel easy.
C.If there is a problem, you needn't deal with it immediately.
D.You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, deal with the problems.
E.Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.
F.Relationships are negotiated (协商), and the negotiation never stops.
G.You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.
