But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or ‘a fun place“today.”直到19世紀早期，它還只是一個名詞，到了18世紀才有了娛樂的含義。但早在19世紀，人們就開始把它用作形容詞，我們今天用它來形容有趣的時間或有趣的地方?？芍^去的人們不習慣使用funner或funnest，部分原因是這個詞最初用作名詞。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“But what about the word fun? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you39。d think you39。d add suffixes on it to create superlatives.”但是樂趣這個詞呢?這個簡單的形容詞只有一個音節(jié)，所以你會認為你應該在它上面加上后綴來創(chuàng)造最高級。以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“So they also agree that the answer to is funner a word? is yes.”所以他們對funner是一個詞嗎?的說法是肯定的。本文主要內容都是圍繞著fun的比較級和最高級變化規(guī)則展開論述，故A選項funner是一個詞嗎？符合文章主旨。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化知識類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 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? 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. 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】本文是一篇說明文，分析了健身市場的發(fā)展帶來的好處，盡管醫(yī)療技術高度發(fā)達，健康健身產業(yè)蓬勃發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)代人的健康水平卻在下降。問題產生很大一部分原因是人們缺乏內在動機。作者建議應當改變對健康的態(tài)度。 （1）考查細節(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)展帶來了很多好處:人們普遍意識到定期鍛煉的重要性，幾乎每個社區(qū)都有一個健身房或健身俱樂部，人們可以去那里或花錢去那里鍛煉，我們對人體如何工作了解得更多，可知健身產業(yè)帶來了積極的影響。故選C。 （2）考查細節(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機，可知人們不鍛煉身體的主要原因是缺乏動機或內在驅動力。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，解決方案將來自一個不同的心態(tài)，一個更簡單的方法和實踐，以及一個全新的文化?可推知作者似乎同意改變對健康的態(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?”當我們回顧幾個世紀以來健身運動的演變，以及一個組織良好、不斷發(fā)展的“健身”市場和行業(yè)的出現(xiàn)，我們有必要捫心自問:我們失去了什么，又得到了什么?以及文章主要內容為分析健身市場的發(fā)展帶來的好處，以及其中存在的問題和問題產生的原因。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it39。s been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing (沖洗)off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are mon in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria. The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes against the mon belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied
