Exercise may hold the key to youth，according to a study published recently which showed people who keep fit are up to nine years biologically younger than those who do not.

The findings are the first to show in humans how keeping fit affects the ageing process.

The study of 2,401 twins found that a sedentary (惯于久坐的) lifestyle raises the risk of a range of problems from heart disease to cancer and appears to play a key role in the ageing process.

It all appears to boil_down_to the length of structures called telomeres—which protect the DNA on the chromosomes (染色体)，the researchers from King’s College London wrote in the Archi v es of Internal Medicine.

Many studies have shown telomeres get shorter over time，suggesting the cells are ageing or dying.The study，which obtained a DNA sample from their volunteers，found people who exercised more each week had longer telomeres.

Exercise lowers the risk of a range of problems such as heart disease，diabetes (糖尿病) and cancer，the researchers said.

“It is not just walking around the block.It is really working up a sweat，”said Tim Spector，a genetic epidemiologist (流行病学家) who led the study，in a telephone interview.

The study found people who exercised vigorously 3 hours each week had longer telomeres and were biologically 9 years younger than people who did under 15 minutes.

Spector’s team，who also adjusted for body weight，smoking，economic status and physical activity at work，also said moderate exercise for 1－1/2 hours each week provided a four-year advantage.

The reason why exercise has this effect is not clear but we believe physical activity somehow defends against the natural process.

1．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A．Lifestyle Affects People’s Health

B．Physical Activity Prevents Diseases

C．Exercise Keeps You Younger

D．Sitting Long Suffers from Cancer

2．According to the study，people sitting long ________.

A．are tending to be more healthy

B．are more likely to live longer

C．are inclined to be taken ill

D．are getting old more slowly

3．The underlined phrase “boil down to” most probably means “ ________”．

A．lie in B．lead to

C．aim at D．show up

4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Telomeres get shorter as time goes on.

B．Slight walking prevents people getting ill.

C．Exercising energetically reduces the chance of diseases.

D．Body weight，smoking and economic status affect people’s health.

5．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．people’s health is decided by their body weight and economic status

B．scientists have known why exercise affects the ageing process

C．the more violently one exercises，the healthier one gets

D．the longer telomeres one has，the more slowly one gets old

答案

Ⅰ.1.A[根据文中第一句大意可知。]

2．C[anyone用于肯定句时，意为“任何人”。]

3．B[enough修饰interested；enough修饰形容词时，必须放在它所修饰的形容词之后。] 4．B[要去一个国家旅游，就应该学习该国语言，以便能够与那里的人们进行交流。]

5．C[句中but表示转折，暗示“学习某种语言很难，但对在该国旅游的好处是显而易见的”。]

6．D[such an effort意为“这一努力”。]

7．A[掌握该国语言的好处只有在到达该国之后才能体现出来。]

8．D[根据句意可知，it指“掌握外语”，要是待在家里，学习外语的重要性根本体现不出来。]

9．C[how表示方式。]

10．A[对于一个到外国旅游的人来说，如果语言不通就无法订饭、租房，因此知道如何订饭、租房是必要的。]

11．D[strange陌生的。]

12．B[把四个答案进行对比，只有knowing意义符合上下文。]

13．D[只有very才符合上下文大意。]

14．B[此处是指理解这个国家的人。]

15．D[根据生活常识判断，出国旅游见到熟人时，往往会说“这‘世界’真小”。]

16．D[该段从另一方面说明懂外语的重要性。本句讲即使在国外能遇到懂自己语言的人，也不如自己懂外语方便。]

17．B[不懂外国的语言，也能看见各个地方和各种事物，see意为“看见”。]

18．A[use表示的意义最为全面。]

19．C[heart在这里表示一个国家的内涵或核心。]

20．B[进一步强调懂得外语确实很重要。]

Ⅱ.1.C[标题判断题。综观全文可以看出，文章第一段向我们讲述了一项研究结果：锻炼身体是永葆青春的秘诀。下文进一步解释了该项研究的具体细节和成果，因此Exercise keeps you younger(多锻炼让你青春永驻)就是该文的标题。]

2．C[细节理解题。文章第三段告诉我们：久坐的生活习惯不但会加大患心脏病和癌症等一系列疾病的风险，而且是影响衰老进程的关键因素。也就是说：久坐的人容易生病(are inclined to be taken ill)。]

3．A[词义猜测题。该段是对上文研究中发现“久坐的生活习惯不但会加大患心脏病和癌症等一系列疾病的风险，而且是影响衰老进程……”原因的分析，本句意思是“所有这些问题似乎都归结于一种叫做‘端粒’的长度”。由此可以看出：boil down to意思是“在于，归结于”。] 4．B[细节判断题。由倒数第四段可判断，B项错误，C项正确；由第五段的第一句“... telomeres get shorter over time”可以判断A项正确；由倒数第二段可以看出D项正确。] 5．D[推理判断题。由第五段的“...telomeres get shorter over time，suggesting the cells are ageing or dying”可以推出：一个人拥有的端粒越长，衰老得就越慢。]
