　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　A new study shows that even low levels of weekly exercise have major health benefits. In the study，

　　30 minutes of walking three days per week was enough to drive down blood pressure and improve overall fitness in a group of healthy sedentary (久坐的) adults.

　　For optimum(最佳的)health，

　　adults are currently recommended to engage in 30 minutes of moderate(適度的)exercise for at least five days of the week. But few people achieve this level of weekly activity，

　　often citing lack of time as the reason.

　　Dr. Mark A. Tully，

　　of the University of Ulster，

　　Northern Ireland，

　　and his colleagues designed a study to see if exercising at a level lower than currently recommended would improve overall fitness and heart health.

　　A total of 106 healthy but sedentary adults between the ages of 40 and 61 participated in the 12-week study. The subjects were randomly (隨機(jī)地) assigned a 30-minute walk 3 days per week (44 subjects) or a 3-minute walk 5 days per week (42 subjects)，

　　while the remainder did not change their lifestyle(the non-walking control group).

　　After 12 weeks，

　　Tully's team found that blood pressure fell and waistlines and hiplines (臀圍) reduced in size signifi-cantly in both the 3-day walkers and 5-day walkers. Overall fitness also increased in both walking groups. In contrast，

　　no changes occurred in the non-walking control group.

　　The experts noted that the degree of positive change in blood pressure and waist and hip size seen in the 3-day and 5-day walkers is enough to make a difference to an individual's risk of heart disease.

　　“These results may encourage people who feel they do not have time to exercise for 5 days each week to consider finding time to do a lower weekly target of exercise， ” Tully and his colleagues concluded.

　　31．What's the main purpose of the article？

　　A．To encourage people to do some exercise，

　　even at a low level. B．To encourage people to do as much exercise as possible.

　　C．To remind sedentary adults to do some exercise.

　　D．To tell people how to improve overall fitness.

　　32．Why only few people can do 30-minute exercise for five days of the week？

　　A．They can't find the time.

　　B．They will be too tired.

　　C．They will have heart attacks.

　　D．The level of the exercise is too high for them.

　　33．Which of the following is WRONG about the study？

　　A．The participants are all healthy but sedentary adults.

　　B．The participants are all over 40 years old.

　　C．The participants do a 30-minute walk 3 days a week and a 3-minute walk 5 days a week in every two weeks.

　　D．Both the 3-day walkers and 5-day walkers improved their health conditions.

　　34．What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraphs？

　　A．Walking can drive down blood pressure.

　　B．Even a low level of exercise in a week can improve one's heart health.

　　C．Walking can improve one's heart health.

　　D．Walking can make a difference to people's heart.

　　Ⅳ.補(bǔ)全對(duì)話

　　根據(jù)對(duì)話內(nèi)容，從對(duì)話后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)多余選項(xiàng)。

　　—We hear so much about exercises these days. So even experts can't agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.

　　—Arm exercises？__35__

　　—__36__They say that arm exercises are a way to become physically healthy.

　　—But don't arm exercises raise your blood pressure？

　　—Yes. But the articles I read supply ways to make up for that.

　　—How？

　　—By adding leg exercises， so that the arms don't do all the work.

　　—__37__

　　—Sounds right to me. I quite agree with you.

　　—__38__

　　—They mentioned quite a few， but some of the popular ones are cycling with special bicycles that make you use both your arms and legs.

　　—__39__ I'd like to have a try.

　　—The same with me.

　　A．So what exercises do the experts suggest？

　　B．It sounds good.

　　C．And in turn I'm sure that they're also a good chance of losing weight.

　　D．Actually that's not the main reason.

　　E．What's your opinion about this？

　　F．Is that because our arms are too fat or soft？

　　G．I can hardly believe it.

　　3．A　本題考查冠詞的用法。由謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞is可知主語(yǔ)是the number of…(……的數(shù)量)；on the increase是固定短語(yǔ)， 意為“正在增加”。

　　9．B　本題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。have an advantage over意為“優(yōu)于，勝過(guò)”；take advantage of…意為“利用……的機(jī)會(huì)”；take up意為“占據(jù)，從事”；get over意為“克服，控制”。

　　10．C　本題考查狀語(yǔ)從句和交際用語(yǔ)。關(guān)鍵要理解第一句的轉(zhuǎn)折意義：盡管他不是很出名，但他是個(gè)真正的運(yùn)動(dòng)員。A項(xiàng)第二個(gè)空不符。

　　.本文介紹德國(guó)藝術(shù)大師Albrecht Durer及其名畫《祈禱之手》的創(chuàng)作過(guò)程，這幅畫的背后有一個(gè)愛(ài)與犧牲的故事。

　　11．B　根據(jù)下文理解，他們想成為畫家，所以此處指的是他們的藝術(shù)才能。12．C　上文提到They were so poor，所以選financially與之對(duì)應(yīng)，表示他們的父親在經(jīng)濟(jì)上負(fù)擔(dān)不起。

　　13．A　下文說(shuō)Albrecht Durer… went off to Nuremberg，說(shuō)明通過(guò)擲硬幣，他“勝出”了。

　　14．D　從前面的went down和下文…look what four years in the mines have done…可知是下礦井掙錢。

　　15．C　由前面的did so well和even可知，他的作品比“教授”的作品還好，C項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

　　16．B　considerable相當(dāng)大(或多)的，意思是給富人畫畫掙很多錢。considerate體貼的。

　　17．D　drink a toast to…是固定搭配，意思是“向……敬酒，為……干杯”。

　　18．C　這里指這么多年他哥哥為他作出的“犧牲”。

　　19．B　fulfill his ambition意思是“實(shí)現(xiàn)他的抱負(fù)”。

　　20．A　It is one's turn to do sth.是固定句型，意思是“輪到某人做某事了”。

　　21．D　下文說(shuō)的都是Albert的雙手的狀況，所以此處應(yīng)選hands。

　　22．A　因?yàn)橄碌V井干的是粗活，所以手指都“受過(guò)傷”。
