Many Ame
24、ricans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
25、But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone. For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the wome
26、n to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had died. Compared
27、 to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die. “Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, “said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. “The rate of stepping did not matter
28、 in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered. The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured womens movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the womens behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are “good news for olde
29、r adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, “said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study. “Any walking is better than nothing, “ Diaz said by email. “With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced “For those who
30、 have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits,“ he added. “Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits. 8. What conclusion can we come to from the text? A. People who walk about 10,0
31、00 steps can live longer. B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people. C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live. D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women. 9. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By giving examples. B. By comparis
32、on. C. By listing statistics. D. By explaining reasons. 10. What can be leaned from what Diaz said? A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits. B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced. C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities D. Act
33、ivities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking. 11. Where is the text most likely from? A. A medical journal. B. A news report. C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个研究向大家说明了，对于老人，走了多少步很重要，每天走 4363 步的人比 每天走不多于
34、2718 步的人死亡概率降低 41%。虽然研究也存在一些缺陷，但是可以说明只要走路就是对身 体有益的。 【8 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文，尤其第 5段的内容“The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”可知，每天走的步数对身体健康很重要。并且第二段明确指出 10000 步这个 目标不是适用于每个人的。所以选项 AB 都不正确。选项 C(走的越多越长寿）描述太偏激，也不正确。故 选 D。 【9 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容看出，该
35、段主要通过列举一系列数字来说明一项研究结果。A. By giving examples 举例；B. By comparison 对比；C. By listing statistics 列数据；D. By explaining reasons 解释原因。 故选 C。 【10 题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后两段， 尤其最后一段 Keith Diaz所说的话“Any walking is better than nothing”与“With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced”能看出，即
36、使每天走的数量不多，也 会极大地减少死亡风险，故选 B。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。 文章是关于健康的一项研究报道， 应出现在医学杂志上。 A. medical journal医学杂志； B. A news report.新闻报道；C. A magazine about fashion.时尚杂志；D. A traveler brochure.旅行手册。故选 A。 【点睛】文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容 和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称，我们可以推知文章来自于报纸，如果 文中出现网络用词(click 点击；onl
37、ine在线；web网络等）可以推知文章来自于网站，例如本篇文章中的第 四题就属于推断文章来源题目，由文章涉及的话题(live longer，health，death）以及文章中科学研究的举例， 可以推知这篇文章出自于医学杂志。这类题目同学们多积累这些词汇，特别是还要积累选项中的词汇(避免 下次选项不认识） ，解题准确度会提升很多。 D Do you like to flaunt your expensive items?

According
48、 to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects.(像豪车和劳力士手表这 样的物品通常被认为可以提高我们的社会地位，而且往往价格不菲。然而，根据最新的研究，它有相反的 效果， 人们更愿意和那些不太重视物质的人交朋友。 ） 可知昂贵的地位象征的负面影响是会阻止人们交朋友。 故选 B。 【14 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句 Peop
