【正文】 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(shù)高度發(fā)達，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。問題產(chǎn)生很大一部分原因是人們?nèi)狈?nèi)在動機。作者建議應(yīng)當(dāng)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(chǎn)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(nèi)在驅(qū)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(dāng)我們回顧幾個世紀(jì)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(nèi)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(chǎn)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(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 What do people in the outside world do when they want to learn something? They go to somebody who knows about it, and ask him. They do not go to somebody who is supposed to know about everything —except, when they are very young, to their parents: and they speedily bee dissatisfied with that variety of knowledge. They go to somebody who might reasonably expected to know about the particular thing they are interested in. When a man buys a motorcar, he does not say to himself: Where can I find somebody who can teach me how to run a motor car? He does not look in the telephone directory under T. He just gets an experienced driver to teach him. He just pays attention and asks questions and tries to do the thing himself, until he learns. But this case, of course, assumes an interest of the pupil in the subject, a willingness and even a desire to learn about it, a feeling that the matter is of some importance to himself. And e to think of it, these motives are generally present in the learning that goes on in the outside world. It is only in school that the pupil is expected to be unwilling to learn. When you were a child, and passed the door of the village blacksmith(鐵匠) shop, and looked in, day after day, you admired his skill, and stood in awe of his strength。 and if he had offered to let you blow the bellows for him and shown you how to make a redhot penny, that would have been a proud moment. It would also have been an educational one. But suppose there had been a new shop set up in the town, and when you looked in at the open door you saw a man at work painting a picture。 and suppose a bell rang just then, and the man stopped painting right in the middle of a brushstroke, and started to read aloud “How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix。 and suppose when he was halfway through, the bell rang again, and he said, We will go on with that tomorrow, and started to chisel the surface of a piece of marble。 and then, after a little, somewhat exhaustedly, started in to play The Rock of Ages on a flute, interrupting the tune to order you to stand up straight and not whisper to the little boy beside you. There39。s no doubt what you would think of him。 you would know perfectly well that he was crazy。 people don39。t do things in that way anywhere in the world, except in school. And even if he had assured you that what were taught were later in your life going to be matters of the deepest importance and interest, and that you should start in now with the determination of being proficient in them, it would not have helped much. Not very much. It39。s nonsense that children do not want to learn. Everybody wants to learn. And everybody wants to teach. And the process is going on all the time. All that is necessary is to put a person who knows something —really knows it—within the curiosityrange of someone who doesn39。t know it: the process begins at once. It is almost irresistible. If there were no teachers—no hastily and superficially trained Vestals who were supposed to know everything—but just ordinary human beings who knew passionately and thoroughly one thing and who had the patience to show little boys and girls how
