题目内容
【题目】Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

本文是一篇议论文。作者通过对比一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,和一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walk,旨在提倡绿色运动。
【1】推理判断题。由文章第一段最后一句和第三段“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.” 可知,无论选择哪种运动,你选择的运动可能对环境有很大的影响,不过你都可以通过使用环保的设备和购买回收材料制成的产品来让它更环保。故选项B符合作者意图。
【2】推理判断题。根据文中第三段“There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.”可知,作者用power walk作为例子主要是因为这是一项资源耗费很少的运动。选D。
【3】主旨意图题。作者指出无论选择哪种运动,你选择的运动可能对环境有很大的影响,不过你都可以通过使用环保的设备和购买回收材料制成的产品来让它更环保。通过对比一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,和一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walk,旨在提倡绿色运动。故选B。
小题3考查主旨大意。主旨题是常考试题,把握文章逻辑结构对于做主旨题很有帮助,纵观全文,可知本文为总分总的结构,作者在第一段中提出话题,运动可以帮助你保持健康和接触大自然,而你选择的运动可能对环境有很大的影响,在第二、三段,作者对比了一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,和一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walk。最后一段点明主旨我们要提倡绿色运动。
