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(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 You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you39。re not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (獎(jiǎng)杯)? If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She39。s a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn39。t have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best. The trophy has to stand for something, Dweck told TFK. If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value. Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. Others say that there39。s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved. I think we should encourage kids39。 participation in sports, says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. A trophy is one way to encourage kids39。 efforts. Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. Winning is only part of the equation (等式), Barish told TFK. Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise. There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about petition as they get older, says Barish. They39。ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there39。s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.(1)According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy? , the most attractive player of the soccer team., a soccer player who is both clever and funny., who is ready to help his partners to score goals., a soccer player who tries his best to win the game(2)Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with? is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone. fond of playing sports should be rewarded. should be given trophies for trying their best. is necessary to encourage kids39。 participation in sports.(3)The underlined phrase single out in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
