题目内容
9.If you are sitting down reading this report,stand up,move your legs and touch your feet if you can.Do anything but sit.If you cut down on the time you spend sitting,you might live longer.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might make your life longer by two years.The human body is designed to move.But mordern lifestyles and office jobs don't give us the chance to move around very often.
Peter Katzmarzyk,a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States,says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives,meaning it is something we do all the time.We sit while we're eating,we sit in the car,we sit while we watch TV.And many of us sit for long hours at work.On average,Americans report that they sit between four and a half to five hours a day.
Mr.Katzmarzyk says you may exercise often.But,he says even that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours."We can't throw away physical activity.It's extremely important,but moving is also important.Even if you exercise for 30minutes a day,what goes on in the other 23.5hours a day is also very important."He found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add 1.4years to life.
Change is already coming to some offices,especially in the design of desks.A"standing desk"lets people stand while they work.Another new design is called the"treadmill desk."A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place.Even some U.S schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycles to keep children moving.
If you work in office job,Mr.Katzmarzyk and his team suggest a few simple changes:
•get up from your desk as often as you can
•take walks at lunch time
•instead of emailing colleagues(同事),walk to their offices and talk directly.
All these activities may help you live longer.

分析 如果你正在坐着读这篇报道,那么请站起来,如果可以的话,动动你的腿,摸摸你的脚.除了坐下,你可以做任何事情.如果你能减少坐的时间,那么你可能会活得更长久.新的研究表明每天坐不到3个小时可能会让你的生命延长2年.人类身体是用来移动的.但是现代生活方式和办公室工作并没有给我们提供经常移动的机会.Peter Katzmarzyk,一名来自美国路南部易斯安娜大学的科学家称坐在我们生活中无所不在,意思是这是我们一直在做的事情.当我们吃饭时坐着,坐在车里,看电视时坐着.我们中的许多人在工作时坐得时间更长.据美国人报道,他们每天平均坐4到5.5个小时.Katzmarzyk先生说道你可以经常锻炼.但是,他说即使这样,你也不能在剩下的工作时间里一直坐着.他说道:"我们不能摒弃所有的体力活动.这是极其重要的,但是移动也是很重要的.即使你每天锻炼30分钟,每天剩下的23.5个小时也是很非常重要的."他发现每天把看电视时间减少到不到2小时,生命就会增加1.4年.改变已经降临到一些办公室,尤其是在办公桌的设计上.一个"站着的桌子"让人们可以在工作时站着.另一个设计叫做"跑步机办公桌".跑步机是一个可以让你上面走的锻炼机器.甚至美国的一些学校开始尝试这样的桌子,它们一部分是自行车,可以让孩子一直保持移动.如果你在办公室工作,Katzmarzyk先生和他的团队建议你可以做一些简单的改变:
尽可能经常地从你的办公桌上站起来.
午餐时间去散步.
不要给同事发邮件,而是走到办公室和他们直接交谈.
所有的这些活动都会帮助你活得更长久.
解答 43.B.推理判断题.题干意为:文章很可能是来自己哪里?文章主要讲述了减少坐的时间可以延长寿命,所以它很可能来自一篇报道健康的杂志,故选择B.
44.A.词义猜测题.题干意为:和第三段划线处单词"ubiquitous"意思最接近的是_____.根据文中…says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives,meaning it is something we do all the time.可知Katzmarzyk先生认为坐在生活中是无处不在的,是我们一直在做的事情,则单词ubiquitous表示"无处不在,普遍",故选择A.
45.D.细节理解题.题干意为:我们最好做下列这些除了____.根据文中可知作者建议我们要尽可能减少坐的时间,所以ABC三项都是减少坐的具体方法,但D项(因为锻炼浪费时间,所以要减少锻炼)这与文章主旨不符,故选择D.
46.A.主旨大意题.题干意为:文章的主要观点是什么?文章主要讲述了我们应该减少坐的时间,尽可能地多站多走多运动,这样我们才能活得更长久,故选择A.
