　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

　　1.文章第一段第三句“But a new study in women shows that the old adage is true--it's never too late to start when it comes to exercise programs.”指出，一份新的女性調(diào)查顯示，那句老話仍然實(shí)用：對(duì)于鍛煉從來都不晚。意思就是說年紀(jì)大了，要想鍛煉仍然是可以的，并不是建議老年女性不鍛煉。至于60歲以上女性不能鍛煉這一說法更不正確，隨后還提及被調(diào)查的女性有9 500人之多，從她們66歲開始一直追蹤調(diào)查到77歲，前后12年時(shí)間。故此句判斷為NO。

　　2.由文章第二段第一句“‘There certainly seems to be something here to suggest that women can start exercising later in life and still reap the rewards，’lead researcher and CDC epidemiologist Edward W.Gregg，PhD，tells WehMD.”可見女性即使在人生晚年才開始鍛煉，仍然能夠收到回報(bào)，因此晚一些開始鍛煉是亡羊補(bǔ)牢為時(shí)未晚。故此句判斷為YES。

　　3.文章第三段中的“Researchers tracked 9,500 women for 12 years，starting when they were at least age 66，In that time，they found that those who went from doing little or nothing to walking just a mile a day slashed (減少) their risk of death from all causes and from cancer by nearly half.Their risk of heart disease also fell by more than a third.In fact，they enjoyed nearly as much protection as women who were physically active before the study began and remained so.”講到研究者們對(duì)9 500名女性進(jìn)行了12年的跟蹤調(diào)查，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)那些原來很少運(yùn)動(dòng)或者每天只走一英里的老年女性來說，增加運(yùn)動(dòng)后她們死亡的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低了一半，患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也降低了三分之一以上。最后作者講到，實(shí)際上和那些在研究開始之前就積極運(yùn)動(dòng)(physically active)并在研究中一直保持運(yùn)動(dòng)(remained so)的女性相比，后來才開始運(yùn)動(dòng)的女性得到的好處是一樣多的。由此可見，參與實(shí)驗(yàn)的老年女性中有很少運(yùn)動(dòng)的，也有一直積極運(yùn)動(dòng)的。故此句判斷為NO。

　　4.由“Don't go solo.”部分第二段“Another benefit to group activities：Organized exercise programs，like those available for low or no cost at the YMCA or local hospitals，often include professional guidance--especially useful for those with conditions such as obesity，diabetes， and arthritis.‘There are exercise therapists or physiologists who can expertly guide you to the proper way to increase your endurance and intensity without risking injury or fatigue，’says Gregg.可以看出集體運(yùn)動(dòng)中常常會(huì)有專業(yè)指導(dǎo)，對(duì)肥胖、糖尿病以及關(guān)節(jié)炎患者會(huì)很有幫助，但并沒有講他們能夠治療這些癥狀。故此句判斷為NOT GIVEN。

　　5.“Get a checkup before a workout.”部分第一段中說明老年人在開始鍛煉之前要去拜訪醫(yī)生，做個(gè)檢查。第二段作者講到原因：“People can sometimes control conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure with weight loss and exercise so they don't need to continue their medications...”，即鍛煉和減肥可以改善糖尿病和高血壓的情況，病人的服藥治療也要進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的調(diào)整。故此題正確答案為“continue their medications”。

　　6.“Get a checkup before a workout.”部分第三段最后一句說“So I try to steer them to another activity，such as swimming，which is especially good for people with joint problems Or obesity.”。此段緊接著第二段繼續(xù)陳述William A.Banks的觀點(diǎn)。他認(rèn)為開始鍛煉之前去看醫(yī)生的另外一個(gè)好處是醫(yī)生可以就病人的情況建議進(jìn)行何種類型的鍛煉。比如對(duì)關(guān)節(jié)病患和肥胖病患來說，游泳是比較好的。故此題正確答案為“swimming”。

　　7.“Start slow.”部分第一句“Once you get the green light，the key to avoiding fatigue and muscle pain is to pull out of the gate very slowly.”說明一旦得到醫(yī)生的允許開始鍛煉，避免疲勞和肌肉酸痛的關(guān)鍵是慢慢開始。故本題答案可以是“pull out of the gate very slowly/start slow”或者也可以用本部分的標(biāo)題“start slow”。

　　8.由“Go more often.”部分的最后一句“A key to intensity;Ideally，you want to be aerobic enough so you can utter a few words or syllables in each sentence，but not so little that you're speaking in complete sentences or too much so you can barely talk，advises Banks.”指出理想的運(yùn)動(dòng)強(qiáng)度是運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)能一句話說出幾個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)。如果運(yùn)動(dòng)強(qiáng)度太低，能說完整的句子，或者運(yùn)動(dòng)過度，幾乎說不出話來，都不太合適。可見，正確答案是“utter a few words or syllables in each sentence”。

　　9.“Don't go solo.”部分第二段最后一句：“There are exercise therapists or physiologists who can expertly guide you to the proper way to increase your endurance and intensity without risking injury or fatigue...”可見，專家可以引導(dǎo)鍛煉者提高運(yùn)動(dòng)中的持久力和強(qiáng)度。故正確答案為“endurance and intensity”。

　　10.由“Do what you enjoy.”部分第一句：“...you should pick an activity you like，so you continue it.”可見，選擇自己喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)有助于堅(jiān)持此項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。故正確答案為“continue it”。
