题目内容
【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many people living in cities see riding a bicycle as good exercise. But, a recent medical 【1】 research warned that cyclists should think twice before cycling in the streets: it actually does more harm than good 【2】 their bodies.
Is cycling in cities really bad for your health? Probably yes. The main danger comes from the air around you. Breathing 【3】 in air pollution from taxis and buses can damage blood vessels(血管).Scientists say the damage could outweigh the health benefits of cycling.
David Newby, a British 【4】 researcher at Edinburgh University broke the news. In his tests, 15 healthy men cycled 【5】 on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those found 【6】 on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein(蛋白质)【7】 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals (蹬车),【8】 more air they breathe in. So those who believe 【9】 they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for themselves 【10】.
【答案】
【1】medicine
【2】to
【3】breathe
【4】Britain
【5】cycle
【6】find
【7】that/which
【8】the
【9】believe
【10】they
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文中介绍了爱丁堡大学的一名研究人员David Newby发布的消息:在大街上骑行对身体有害!
【1】考查形容词。句意:但是近期的一项医学研究警告骑行者到大街上骑行之前要三思。此处为形容词修饰名词,medical医学的。故填medical。
【2】考查介词。句意:这对他们的健康造成的危害要远远大于好处。此处考查固定短语do good to对...有益处。故填to。
【3】考查动名词做主语。句意:呼吸来自于出租车和公交车的污染气体对血管会造成破坏。分析句子可知本句缺乏主语,故应用动词的ing形式做主语。故填 breathing。

【5】考查一般过去时。句意:在他的测试中,15名健康的男性在充满类似于拥挤的大街上发现的污染气体的实验室中骑行。这项测试已经结束,因此应用一般过去时。故填 cycled。
【6】考查过去分词作定语。句意:在他的测试中,15名健康的男性在充满类似于拥挤的大街上发现的污染气体的实验室中骑行。此处air与find构成动宾关系,故应用过去分词形式作定语,表“被动”。故填found。
【7】考查定语从句。句意:他们的血管变得不那么有弹性,并且一种心脏所需要的蛋白质的数量也减少了。根据句意可知此处为定语从句修饰先行词a protein,且从句中缺主语,因此应用which/that。故填that/which。
【8】考查冠词。句意:骑行者蹬车越快,吸入的气体越多。本句考查固定句式:the +比较级,the +比较级,越...., 就越。故填the。
【9】考查一般现在时。句意:因此,那些相信他们正在改善身体健康状况的人其实正在为他们自己贮存最大的麻烦。本句讲述现在的状况,因此应用一般现在时。故填believe。
【10】考查代词。句意:因此,那些相信他们正在改善身体健康状况的人其实正在为他们自己贮存最大的麻烦。根据句意可知应用反身代词。故填themselves。
