【正文】 more about how the human body works. Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary (久坐的)and outofshape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy (壽命)in the U. S. dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modem people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry. How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one39。s body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise. So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to e from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution e from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?（1）What does the author tell us about fitness industry in paragraph 2? provides better technology. is supported by most people. brings about positive effects. costs people too much money.（2）What is the main reason why people fail to do physical exercise? enough equipment. of inner drive. instructions. living conditions.（3）What does the author seem to agree with? attitudes to fitness. on standard practice. more potential customers. to more advanced programs.（4）What is the best title for the text? in fitness about fitness of fitness of fitness【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，分析了健身市場(chǎng)的發(fā)展帶來(lái)的好處，盡管醫(yī)療技術(shù)高度發(fā)達(dá)，健康健身產(chǎn)業(yè)蓬勃發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)代人的健康水平卻在下降。問(wèn)題產(chǎn)生很大一部分原因是人們?nèi)狈?nèi)在動(dòng)機(jī)。作者建議應(yīng)當(dāng)改變對(duì)健康的態(tài)度。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Obviously, much good has e out of these recent developments: there39。s widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every munity has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.”顯然，這些最新的發(fā)展帶來(lái)了很多好處:人們普遍意識(shí)到定期鍛煉的重要性，幾乎每個(gè)社區(qū)都有一個(gè)健身房或健身俱樂(lè)部，人們可以去那里或花錢(qián)去那里鍛煉，我們對(duì)人體如何工作了解得更多，可知健身產(chǎn)業(yè)帶來(lái)了積極的影響。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“A large part of it is motivation.”其中很大一部分是動(dòng)機(jī)，可知人們不鍛煉身體的主要原因是缺乏動(dòng)機(jī)或內(nèi)在驅(qū)動(dòng)力。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Or will the solution e from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?”或者，解決方案將來(lái)自一個(gè)不同的心態(tài)，一個(gè)更簡(jiǎn)單的方法和實(shí)踐，以及一個(gè)全新的文化?可推知作者似乎同意改變對(duì)健康的態(tài)度。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段“As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well organized and growing ‘fitness’ market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?”當(dāng)我們回顧幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)健身運(yùn)動(dòng)的演變，以及一個(gè)組織良好、不斷發(fā)展的“健身”市場(chǎng)和行業(yè)的出現(xiàn)，我們有必要捫心自問(wèn):我們失去了什么，又得到了什么?以及文章主要內(nèi)容為分析健身市場(chǎng)的發(fā)展帶來(lái)的好處，以及其中存在的問(wèn)題和問(wèn)題產(chǎn)生的原因。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇健康類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round. About onequarter of those who work while attending school have both a fullcourse load and a fulltime job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (學(xué)費(fèi)) and living costs, obviously. And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But it39。s not all upside. Even fulltime work may not pletely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fulltime job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they39。re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward for attending but not finishing college Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn39。t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.（1）According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________. throw parties a lot stay up late every night work besides attending classes pay no attention to exams（2）What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students? need of developing social networks. lack of summer jobs for young adults. chance of finding a job after graduation. expenses of high tuition and living costs.（3）We can learn from the passage that _________. students are more likely to finish college can cover their college expenses through working receive a huge reward for managing work and class while attending school may not help students get career benefits（4）What is the best title for the passage?
