Unit 3 A taste of English humour
**阅读理解
If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock. 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.
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 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(动脉).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 implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be b etter 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 have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you sh ouldn’t actually do too much”.
1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning
to“___________”.
A. hard
B. regular
C. practical
D. flexible
2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.
A. suggest giving up jogging
B. show risks of doing sports
C. provide supportive evidence
D. introduce the research process
3.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？
A. It may injure the heart and arteries.
B. It can make the body tired out.
C. It will bring much pressure.
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.

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了Wi­Fi对“我”家生活的影响。

【核心词汇】have an effect on对……有影响temporarily adv.暂时地log on
登录occur v．发生
1．D 根据上下文可知，家里没有Wi­Fi对我们生活的影响是巨大的(huge)。

possible“可能的”；modest“谦虚的”；positive“积极的”。

2．B 根据前一句“It had a __1__ effect on our lives”和下文的“But，what will we do”可知，平时家里离不开Wi­Fi，现在没有了，当然对我们平时的生活方式产生挑战。

explore“探索”；improve“提升”；guarantee“保证”。

3．C 根据下文的“When given the news that there was no Wi­Fi in the house”可知，我们家里失去(lost) Wi­Fi一个多星期；receive“收到”；book“订购”；buy“购买”。

4．B 根据第二段第一句“I was raised in the pre­Wi­Fi era”可知，“我”是在没有Wi­Fi的时代长大的，因此对于没有了Wi­Fi也是比较习惯的(accustomed)，be accustomed to表示“习惯于”。

5．A 根据上下文可推知，“我”习惯无Wi­Fi的生活，但是孩子们不习惯。

上下文是转折关系，因此选however。

6．C 根据空后的“But, what will we do”可知空处指的是他们的第一反应
(response)。

7．D 根据上下文可知，没有Wi­Fi只有电视，且电视频道只有70多个，孩子们很绝望。

excited“兴奋的”；grateful“感激的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；desperate“绝望的”。

8．B 根据本句的定语从句“most of which is now given online”可知，家庭作业应是孩子们的主要(major)挑战。

avoidable“可避免的”；enjoyable“令人愉快的”；simple“简单的”。

9．A 空后的“the dog ate my homework”表示“狗吃了我的作业”，此处表示没有网络是这种借口的一个新提法，故选A。

10．C 根据空后的宾语从句“that one of her friends had her water supply temporarily__11__ due to a leak”可知，这些内容应该是女儿讲出来(observed)的。

re peat“重复”；promise“承诺”；ignore“忽略”；observe“观察，说，评论”。

11．B 根据该空后的“due to a leak”可推知，水管漏水了，供水会被暂时中断(cut off)。

12．A 根据上下文可知，女儿认为我们没有Wi­Fi更糟糕(worse)。

13．D 根据上下文可知，为了能够在家工作，丈夫和“我”需要互联网。

enable sb.to do sth.表示“使某人能做某事”。

14．C 根据下文的“Although expensive”可知，“我”去商店买(purch ase)Wi­Fi。

look into“调查”；search for“寻找”；borrow“借”。

15．A 根据语境可知，买了Wi­Fi，“我”建立自己的网络就容易了。

16．D 根据本句中的“like leaving a tap running(像让水管的水不停地流着一样)”可知，我们知道让水管的水不停地流着意味着“浪费”，故选D。

17．B 根据上下文可知，当“我”上网做事时，“我”是尽快地做，as quickly as possible表示“尽快地”。

18．A 根据语境可知，技术已经引起了我们日常生活的改变，这些改变在我们没有注意(noticing)的情况下发生了。

19．D 参见上题解析。

reflect“反思”；hear“听到”；appreciate“欣赏”。

20．C 根据该空后的“without Wi­Fi was seeing the children make forts(堡垒)out of the sofa cushions，which they haven't done in years”可知，没有了Wi­Fi，孩子们可以在一起玩，这是愉快的(bright)事情。

_____________________________________________________
答案：up→out pick out “挑选”。

_____________________________________________________
答案：at→in in all directions “朝/向四面八方”。

3．With the electricity being cut off, all the machines had to stop working.

_____________________________________________________
答案：that→when此处occasions意为“时机；时候”，在本句中为先行词，引导词在定语从句中作状语，表时间。

故用when引导该定语从句。
