20、es.课时作业(十).阅读理解A【语篇解读】主题:人与自我(健康的生活方式);话题:攀爬。本文为说明文,介绍了攀爬这种运动以及它的益处。1答案与解析:A推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People believe that climbing can do good to health.”以及“Many Americans are learning to climb.”可知,人们认为攀爬有利于健康,许多美国人正在城市体育馆学习攀爬。故选A项。2答案与解析:B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The most difficult is to control your fear.”可知选B项。3答案与解析:B
21、细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,攀爬能很好地锻炼全身,特别是手臂和腿。因此推断workout表示“锻炼”。4答案与解析:D推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要向读者介绍一种运动方式攀爬。故选D项。5答案与解析:C推理判断题。文章着重介绍了攀爬这种运动。因此C项最符合文意。B【语篇解读】本文为议论文。西方饮食习惯的泛滥危害着人们的健康及环境。6答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mr.Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health.”可知Tillman先生认为饮食、环境和人类的健康是密切相关的。故答案
22、为A项。7答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.”可知,将来来自农业的温室气体可能会比现在各种车辆产生的温室气体要多,故答案为C项。8答案与解析:D推理判断题。第三段提到了Nigeria,但未提到该国患糖尿病的人数最多,故排除A项;根据文章第二段最后一句可知肥胖的人是患像糖尿病这样的非传染性疾病(noninfectiou
23、s diseases)的高危人群,B项的描述是错误的,故排除B项;第二段中第一句只提到“examined information from 100 countries,”并未提及100个国家都是发展中国家,故排除C项;根据第二段第三句可知,工业化导致了西方饮食习惯的传播。故答案为D项。9答案与解析:B主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句可推知作者写这篇文章的目的是让人们意识到西方饮食的危害,摒弃西方的饮食习惯。故答案为B项。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是说明文,就如何找到适当的锻炼方式从而进行个性化的锻炼作了说明。1答案与解析:B上文提出问题“How can we deal with the proble
24、m?”,下文给出具体解决办法“It is important to determine your motivation first.”,空格处应为解决办法的概括性表述,承接上文问题并引出下文。B项“关键是要找到适当的锻炼方式。”承上启下,填在此处语意通顺,逻辑合理。故正确答案为B。2答案与解析:E上文提及“It is important to determine your motivation first.”,即首先要确定自己的锻炼动机是什么,由此来确定锻炼方式。随后给出一种可能的动机“If your goal is relaxation,then ask yourself if you wa
25、nt to do something energetic.”,由此可知空格处应是对剧烈的锻炼方式的推荐。E项“在这种情况下,基于拳击的一种锻炼方式可能适合你。”填在此处语意通顺,逻辑合理。故正确答案为E。3答案与解析:C结合空格处所在段落主旨句“It is important to determine your motivation first.”可知,这一部分作者结合人们不同的锻炼动机给出适当的锻炼方式。上文提及“If you have a calmer style, you can do something quite different. You could choose solitar
26、y exercise, such as walking the dog or doing some gardening.”,给出了一种可能的锻炼动机和推荐的锻炼方式;下文提及“There are quite a lot of them, such as walking and running groups, dance classes, etc.”,是在推荐另外一些团体锻炼方式,由此可推知,空格处列举了人们的另一种动机,而这种动机下的人们比较适合团体锻炼。C项“如果你追求健康,团体活动会很适合你。”填在此处语意通顺,逻辑合理。故正确答案为C。4答案与解析:G根据“If you have fre
27、e time at the weekend.”和“If your life is not regular.”可知,这一段作者主要是结合人们的时间安排给出相对应的锻炼方式,空格处表述应与段落中心契合,叙述时间问题对人们锻炼的影响。G项“对于特别忙的人们来说,将锻炼安排在日常生活中会更容易。”填在此处语意通顺,逻辑合理。故正确答案为G。5答案与解析:F上文提及“Whatever your lifestyle is,you will be able to have something that suits you.”,下文提出找到适合自己的锻炼方式的具体做法“Just sit down with a cup of tea,read this article again,and think about your options.”。F项“换句话说,你自己总能找到个性化的锻炼。”填在此处语意通顺,逻辑合理。故正确答案为F。
