It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（強度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial, said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years。 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on selfreporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equalsized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message sit less and move more and more often. However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits, he said.（1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? on the sofa reading. a little gentle gardening. out to hike with friends. basketball sometimes.（2）What can we know about the research? lasted about 8 years. researchers admitted they used fake data. participants didn39。t include younger people. participants died because of doing too much physical activity（3）What is the author39。s attitude towards the researchers39。 conclusion? （4）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word reinforces in the last paragraph? 【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)輕微活動能幫助預(yù)防老年人過早死亡，對老年人健康很有好處。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（強度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial.”對于無法做中等強度活動的老年人來說，輕度活動對健康很有好處。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years.”可知參與調(diào)查的36,000人平均年齡是63歲，因此不包括年輕人，故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文中…researchers say , …said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said…, …h(huán)e ，作者只是陳述了研究結(jié)果和專家觀點，并未摻雜自己觀點，作者對研究結(jié)果是中立觀點，不帶感情色彩。故選D。 （4）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults”, 陳述研究結(jié)果，小的輕微活動能幫助預(yù)防老年人過早死亡；以及最后一段中的“This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits”.提到的 getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits即讓最不愛運動的人多做一點點體育活動，對公眾健康也有重要的好處，這是對研究結(jié)果的進一步強調(diào)，由此推知畫線詞語表示“強調(diào)”，與Highlights同義，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Customers who e into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a softspoken 18yearold from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began cutting up his ham.” Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams39。s Facebook notification（關(guān)注）began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf39。s post and tracked her in it. Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figured, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather,” Williams said. The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city39。s mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Williams39。s day, and also received an from Texas Southern University President Austin , asking if the school could present Williams with a scholarship. Williams still works at Waffle House five days a week and plans to do so until she starts classes in the fall at Houstonbased Texas Southern. Wolf said Williams does not have a car to get to classes, but some people have offered to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a moment of a kindness can change a life.（1）Why did Wolf post the photo on Facebook? A.The photo reminded her of her late father.
