2、ll. Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at

3、 was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(動脈).

4、Over time，this can cause serious injuries. Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.” The implic

5、ations of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to

8、sure. D. It consumes too much energy. 4.What can be inferred from the text? A. No exercise at all is the best choice. B. More exercise means a healthier life. C. Marathons runners are least likely to die. D. Proper exercise contributes to good health. 【文章大意】本文主要講述了做運動過多或過少都對身體有害，只有做適量的運動才對身體

9、有益。 1.A 【解析】考查詞義推測。hard耗費體力的；regular有規(guī)律的；practical實際的；flexible靈活的。由第一段最后一句“According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.”可知，一點不做運動的人和非常艱苦鍛煉的人都極有可能死，故應(yīng)選A。 3.A 【解析】考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由第二段倒數(shù)第二句“The scientists think that t

10、his is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(動脈).”可知，做過多的運動有害是因為它可能傷害心臟和動脈，故應(yīng)選A。 4.D 【解析】考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段可知，做運動過多或過少都對身體有害，只有做適量的運動才對身體有益，故應(yīng)選D。 二、完形填空 When I was young, like you, I had a dream.
