Whether it’s to help their dogs or themselves,about half of all Americans surveyed in a recent poll(民意测验) say they exercise regularly.According to the poll,most people walk for exercise a few times a week.About a third say they walk every day.
But are they kidding themselves to think a walk is really helping them?Should we all be running or jogging if we want to count that activity as good for us?Dr.Tim Church,who studies the effects of physical activity at Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center,made a study about that.
Church headed a study with 464 postmenopausal(绝经后的) women who,for six months,came into the lab to walk a treadmill(跑步机) while researchers watched.
The first group walked for 73 minutes a week,the second 136 minutes a week and the third 190 minutes weekly.These women walked slowly,and could easily carry on a conversation.
“Surprisingly,the group that was only walking for 73 minutes a week slowly benefited a lot,”Church says.They say they’ve gotten more physically active from walking.They haven’t necessarily lost weight,but their pants fit differently.It’s because they have less belly fat,he says,which is a very good thing.This document from the American Heart Association lists dozens of studies showing similar benefits from walking.
And in Church’s study,participants gained more than physical benefits.They also gained benefits like less anxiety and fewer symptoms of depression.They also discovered something many of us long for:more energy.
“It wasn’t a dose-response(剂量效应)—as in,‘the more exercise you did,the more your energy increased,’”Church says.“Actually,all three exercise groups increased their levels of energy the same.”
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。文章通过研究证明散步有益健康,并且运动量和强度与受益程度不成正比。
1.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.If people should walk the dog.
B.The effect of running or jogging.
C.If people need to exercise hard to benefit.
D.The importance of doing exercise regularly.
答案:C
解析:篇章结构题。由第二段开头的“But are they kidding themselves...as good for us?”及下文的研究可推断,画线词指代人们是否必须做高强度的运动才能受益。
2.The three groups in Church’s study .
A.were of different ages
B.were required to walk slowly
C.were in different physical condition
D.were required to do different exercises
答案:B

3.At the end of Church’s study,women in the first group .
A.lost weight
B.lost belly fat
C.benefited little
D.benefited the most
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第五段中的“their pants fit differently.It’s because they have less belly fat...”可知答案为B项。
4.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Walking may make people feel anxious.
B.People should do as much exercise as possible.
C.Walking benefits people physically and mentally.
D.People should do exercise when they feel energetic.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由最后两段可知,研究的参与者通过步行不仅减掉了腹部脂肪,而且精神更健康,精力更充沛。故C项正确。

答案与解析:
【语篇导读】克拉克小姐发现自己家中被盗后,决心找出这个小偷,最后她用她的智慧击退了这位“不速之客”。
1.something 解析:考查代词。依据下文可知,她意识到有点儿不寻常。something表示“某事”。
2.no 解析:考查限定词。根据本句中的“The back door and the windows were all locked”可知,没有破门而入的迹象。故填no。
3.found 解析:考查时态。本空所在句中的and连接两个谓语动词,第一个是went,因此这里用found。
4.would happen 解析:考查时态。根据上文可知,她从后门进入,待在屋里,想看看将会发生什么,故应用would happen。
5.when 解析:考查固定句式。“it is/was+时间点+when...”是固定句式,表示“某事在某时发生”。
6.being pushed 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处表示听见某事正在发生,故应用hear sth.doing;letter box与push之间是被动关系,因此用being pushed。
7.wire 解析:考查名词。根据下文中的“wire”可知,小偷是用金属丝打开门的。故此处应填wire。
8.The 解析:考查冠词。wire在上文已经提到过,因此此处用定冠词The。
9.over/on 解析:考查介词。本句句意:克拉克小姐提起水壶,把开水泼到了小偷的手上。pour sth.over/on sth.“把……泼到……上”。
10.instantly 解析:考查副词。这里是用副词修饰“pulled back”。
