Physical Fitness
Physical fitness is today’s hot topic. And wherever you turn, you hear something new. But is it all true?
The more you sweat, the more fat you burn. This myth has encouraged people to work out in extreme heat or wear layers of clothes or rubber or plastic weight-loss suits in the hope of sweating fat off. Unfortunately, it’s water they’re losing, not fat. When you first begin to exercise, you burn carbohydrates or sugars. To burn the fat, plan on working out at least 40 minutes.
No pains, no gains. Many people tend to overdo (过度)their exercise programs looking for quick results. Doing so, however, may result in your injury or sore (疼痛的)muscles. Your best bet is to start any exercise program slowly and gradually increase the workout. This gives people a good beginning without the pain or injury. Exercise increases appetite. This is true for hard or intense (剧烈的) exercise that lasts for 60 minutes or longer. Gentle exercise that is less than 60 minutes, however, will probably reduce your appetite for one to two hours. Exercise always lowers blood sugar.
You can get fit in 10 minutes a week. This and similar claims are common, but untrue. There are no shortcuts to getting fit. Becoming fit takes work and the general rule is 20 minutes of aerobic activity(有氧运动) three times a week. Consistency is the key. If you stop working out, your muscles will turn to fat. If you decrease your activity and continue to eat the same or more, you may gain back the fat that you worked so hard to lose. It’s not, however, because your muscles turned to fat. Muscles may atrophy (萎缩), but they won’t turn to fat. Muscle is muscle and fat is fat.
1.If you work out less than 40 minutes, you are actually losing
A.fat.
B.water.
C.muscles.
D.plastics.
正确答案:B
解析:问题问的是：如果你健身少于40分钟，你其实在消耗什么?由第二段可知，少于40分钟的运动消耗的其实是水分，而不是脂肪。
2.Paragraph 3 suggests people that
A.they overdo exercise at the very beginning and slow down gradually.
B.they not do exercise to avoid injury.
C.they start slowly and gradually increase the workout.
D.ignore the injury and sore muscle and persevere in doing the exercise. 正确答案:C
解析:问题问的是：第三段建议人们如何运动?推理判断题。第三段提到运动最好是开始慢些，渐渐增加运动量。
3.Which statement is NOT true according to Paragraph 4
A.Doing intense exercise for 60 minutes or more increases appetite.
B.Doing gentle exercise for much more than 60 minute might increase appetite.
C.Doing gentle exercise for less than 60 minutes will probably reduce appetite.
D.Doing gentle exercise for less than 60 minutes will not lower blood sugar. 正确答案:D
解析:问题问的是：根据第四段哪个说法不正确?第四段结尾提到任何运动都会降低血糖。D运动60分钟以下不会降低血糖错误。
4.The writer believes that
A.one can get fit in ten minutes a week.
B.there is no shortcuts to getting fit.
C.if one is consistent, he/she will find the shortcut to getting fit.
D.one must have a job if he/she wants to get fit.
正确答案:B
解析:问题问的是：作者相信什么?倒数第二段结尾提到B的说法“减肥没有捷径”。
5.If you decrease your activity and continue to eat the same or more
A.your muscles may become smaller.
B.your muscles become fat.
C.you will put on muscles.
D.nothing changes at all.
正确答案:A
解析:问题问的是：减少运动，但继续保持或增加食量会怎样?最后一段可知A肌肉会变小正确。B肌肉会变成脂肪;C肌肉会增加;D没有变化。这几项都不正确。

2016年最新英语阅读理解题及答案【三】:2016年专四英语阅读练习(含答案)
（一） People have been painting pictures for at least30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted bypeople who hunted animals. They used to paintpictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls ofcaves in France and Spain. No one knows why theywere painted there. Perhaps the painters thoughtthat their pictures would help them to catch theseanimals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures. About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use picturesas kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also torepresent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind ofalphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writingand pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life werepainted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures arelike modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way ofwriting simple. The ordinary people could not understand it. By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea haddeveloped a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and therewere fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter,represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formedthe letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet isnow used all over the world. These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But westill need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find themeverywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where welive and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they canmake a story much more interesting.? 1.

As the merchant class expanded in the eighteenth?century North American Colonies, the silversmithand the coppersmith businesses rose to serve it.Only a few silversmiths were available in New Yorkor Boston in the late seventeenth century, but in theeighteenth century they could be found in all majorcolonial cities. No other colonial artisans rivaled thesilversmiths’ prestige. They handled the mostexpensive materials and possessed direct connections to prosperous colonial merchants. Theirproducts, primarily silver plates and bowls, reflected their exalted status and testified to theircustomers’ prominence. Silver stood as one of the surest ways to store wealth at a time beforeneighborhood banks existed. Unlike the silver coins from which they were made, silver articleswere readily identifiable. Often formed to individual specifications, they always carried thesilversmith’s distinctive markings and consequently could be traced and retrieved.Customers generally secure the silver for the silver object they ordered. They saved coins, tookthem to smiths, and discussed the type of pieces they desired. Silversmiths complied with theserequests by melting the money in a small furnace, adding a bit of copper to form a strongeralloy, and casting the alloy in rectangular blocks. They hammered these ingots to theappropriate thickness by hand, shaped them and pressed designs into them for adornment.Engraving was also done by hand. In addition to plates and bowls, some customers soughtmore intricate products, such as silver teapots. These were made by shaping or casting partsseparately and then soldering them together. Colonial coppersmithing also come of age in theearly eighteenth century and prospered in northern cities. Copper’s ability to conduct heatefficiently and to resist corrosion contributed to its attractiveness. But because it wasexpensive in colonial America, coppersmiths were never very numerous. Virtually all copperworked by Smiths was imported as sheets or obtained by recycling old copper goods. Copperwas used for practical items, but it was not admired for its beauty. Coppersmiths employed it tofashion pots and kettles for the home. They shaped it in much the same manner a
s silver ormelted it in a foundry with lead or tin. They also mixed it with zinc to make brass for maritimeand scientific instruments.?

B. The invention of heat efficient furnaces. ?

D. The development of new tools used to shape silver. ?
2.In colonial America, where did silversmiths usually obtain the material to make silver articles? ?
A. From their own mines. ?
B. From importers. ?
C. From other silversmiths. ?
D. From customers.

Nature's Gigantic Snow Plough
On January 10,
1962, an enormous piece of glacierbroke away and tumbled down the side of amountain in Peru. A mere seven minutes later, whencascading ice finally came to a stop ten miles downthe mountain, it had taken the lives of 4,000 people.
This disaster is one of the most“devastating”examples of a very common event: an avalanche of snow or ice. Because it isextremely cold at very high altitudes, snow rarely melts. It just keeps piling up higher andhigher. Glaciers are eventually created when the weight of the snow is so great that the lowerlayers are pressed into solid ice. But most avalanches occur long before this happens. As snowaccumulates on a steep slope, it reaches a critical point at which the slightest vibration willsend it sliding into the valley below.
Even an avalanche of light power can be dangerous, but the Peruvian catastrophe wasparticularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer of ice. It is estimated that the icethat broke off weighed three million tons. As it crashed down the steep mountainside like agigantic snow plough, it swept up tr

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
