题型:不详难度:来源:
Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

试题分析:本文叙述了通过节食维持体重的人比经常运动的人更容易堆积内部脂肪,尽管他们看起来很苗条。由于瘦的人体重并未超标,医生们担心瘦的人可能会因为没有明确的预警信号而对自己的健康麻痹大意。专家很早就已经证实了爱运动的人比那些苗条但是不爱运动的人要健康。
小题1:这是细节理解题。根据Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes.并非有心脏病的人都有内部肥胖,故选A。
小题2:这是细节理解题。根据Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,锻炼在人的生活中起很重要的作用,故选B。
小题3:这是细节理解题。根据According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.即使人很苗条,但也不一定就不胖,故选C。
小题4:这是词义猜测题。根据如果你想要健康没有捷径,只有锻炼,故选C。
点评:阅读理解题中所设置的词义猜测类题多是对生词、短语、指示代词的猜测。一方面,命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是已学过的或是考生较熟悉的,但高考所考查的是不太常见的意思;另一方面命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是考生没有学过的。此时,对单词或短语的猜测不要停留在字面上,要根据语境来判断。

Teens who take in less vitamin E, found in vegetable oil and nuts, are more likely to have asthma(哮喘), Jane Bums at the Harvard School of Public Health found.
Based on these findings.Bums said that current recommended dose(一剂)of vitamin C, 85 mg a day, may not be enough for teens to have healthy lungs.Teens who eat less fruit and don"t take in enough fatty acids (脂肪酸) are more likely to have asthma and the signs of breathing difficulty.
Proper amounts of fatty acids are protective, Bums said, though fish, the best source of fatty acids, is particularly unpopular with teenagers.Fatty acids are also found in some nuts as well as some green vegetables".Smokers who avoid vitamin C will increase their chances of coughing, wheezing and developing phlegm(痰).
More than 80 percent of teens are getting their recommended doses of vitamin C - mainly from fruit drinks."I wouldn"t approve of drinking them, but at least they"re getting their vitamin C from somewhere," Burns said.
Burns added that there are several different ways to get the necessary nutrients."I think vitamin supplements are fine.I think adding vitamin D to orange juice is fine.But I do think there are added benefits that we don"t fully understand of eating whole foods like fruits and vegetables and fish," she said.The researchers did not account for poverty and other factors that often distinguish less-healthy eaters and may explain their findings.

A standing desk sits high off the floor so a worker can either stand at it or sit on a high stool to use it. Officials at Palo Alto-based Facebook say a number of employees asked about standing desks after news articles were published about the health risks of sitting all day.
The stories cited medical studies that tied excessive sitting to increased obesity and other health problems because of factors including a drop in physical activity. A 2010 study by the American Cancer Society found that women who sat more than six hours a day were 37% more likely to die prematurely than women who sat for less than three hours, while the early-death rate for men was 18% higher. The American College of Cardiology released a study in January that found increased mortality (死亡率) among people who sat longer at home than those who didn"t.
No one seems to compile statistics on the standing-desk trend. But anecdotal reports suggest Silicon Valley is embracing the movement.
Facebook officials say they have seen an upsurge in requests for standing desks to five to eight a week with a total of between 200 and 250 deployed (配置) at the company of more than 2,000 employees. Facebook also is trying out a treadmill station ─ where a worker can walk or run on a treadmill while tapping at a computer.
Google spokesman Jordan Newman said that "many employees at Google opt for standing desks, and we offer them as part of our wellness program" though he said he didn"t know the exact number.
Greg Hoy, 39 years old, asked for a standing desk shortly after joining Facebook seven months ago as a design recruiter. "I don"t get the 3 o"clock slump anymore," he said. "I feel active all day long."
小题1:The underlined word “motivated” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by .
A.frightened | B.inspired | C.missed | D.discouraged |
A.a drop in physical activity was the only reason why excessive sitting caused increased obesity. |
B.women who sat longer were more likely to die prematurely according to a 2010 study by American College of Cardiology |
C.according to the study, the early-death rate for men was 18% higher than that for women. |
D.the mortality among people who didn’t sat long at home was lower than that among people who did. |
A.is a computer that a worker can take along when he walks or runs |
B.has been tried out by Facebook and now is very popular with other companies |
C.is a place where workers can exercise while working. |
D.is a treadmill on which workers can run or walk only after work |
A.sitting for too long leads to increased health risks |
B.standing desks have replaced sit-down ones in Facebook Inc. |
C.more and more workers choose standing desks instead of sit-down ones |
D.many employees at Google opt for standing desks |
But experts are now warning that the latest shoes in different styles will be causing teenagers discomfort(不舒适) in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts discover the problems caused by teenagers" shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191220/20191220235159-26905.jpg)
Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的) sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which hits the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191220/20191220235200-99398.jpg)
The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing a difficult gait(步法), this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子), heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191220/20191220235200-59716.jpg)
These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer"s body weight forward, making them very shaky.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with continuous back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark"s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing "bad" shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often change their walk and halt the damage.
小题1:Of all the shoes mentioned(提到) in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A.Marks & Spencer. | B.Wedges & Stilettos. |
C.Keds and Vans. | D.Ballet Pumps. |

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is your skin that keeps your insides from falling out. It helps you warm up when you are cold, and it can cool you off when you are hot. It lets you feel things by touch.
Like the heart, stomach and brain, your skin is an organ. In fact, it is the largest organ in your body. But it is still easy to take skin for granted. 1 But skin has an important job to do.
Your skin is constantly protecting you. 2 When you take care of your skin, you are helping your skin do its job. And taking care of your skin today will help prevent future problems, like wrinkles(皱纹) and even skin cancer.
3 Keeping your hands clean all the time is especially important because they can spread germs(细菌) to the skin on other parts of your body.
4 Cold or hot water may hurt your skin. Wet your hands, then lather up with a mild soap (香皂). You should rub everywhere, including the palms, the wrists and the nails. Wash them well, dry thoroughly with a clean towel and you’re done.
You"ll also want to use warm water when you take a bath. Use soap to clean your body. Don"t forget under your arms and behind your ears! Your face needs attention, especially as you enter puberty(青春期) and the skin on your face gets more oily. 5
A.One simple way to take care of your skin is to keep it clean. |
B.It is a good habit to wash your hands before and after meals. |
C.When washing your hands, use water that’s comfortably warm. |
D.It keeps infections out of your body and keeps you from getting sick. |
F. Your skin plays a more important role in keeping you healthy during your puberty.
G. It’s a good idea to wash your face once or twice daily with warm water and a mild soap.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A.it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day |
B.many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day |
C.many adults go to work without having breakfast |
D.many children go to school without breakfast |
A.we need to have a cup of coffee |
B.we don’t have a good breakfast |
C.our brains don’t work any longer |
D.we don’t have enough sleep at night |
A.Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work. |
B.Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day. |
C.Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day. |
D.You will be happier if you have a good breakfast. |
A.it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast |
B.you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast |
C.you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry |
D.you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast |
