Question

【題目】 Trying to lose weight can be difficult, and while we all know exercise and diet are both basic needs, which one is more important?

If you had to choose, should you be hitting the gym, or eating salads? There are many ways you can burn a few hundred calories (卡路里): running for 20 minutes, an hour of swimming, or singing your favourite song 23 times. But the point is, it takes time to burn a lot of calories even with most tiring activity - not to mention the time spent on the way to the gym, and then back home to clean up.

Now, compare this to the number of calories in a chocolate bar - which is often over 200 calories. You could either walk for about an hour to burn that 200 calories, or you could simply not eat that chocolate bar. Which sounds easier to you? How about running for 30 minutes every day or cutting out those two cans of soda? Many physicians point out that there is a lot of high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie foods we could cut from our diet, to see weight loss results more quickly. And studies also show that diet does actually play a bigger role in weight loss than exercise. A survey of 2000 children found that the level of physical activity was not the main reason for their weight. And a study of 3000 adults discovered that cutting down calories was connected to greater weight loss than exercise alone.

Of course, exercise has many health advantages besides weight loss, like slowing the aging process and improving mental health. But at the end of the day, if you expect to lose weight, you’re likely to get more bang for your buck if you focus on your diet first.

本文是一篇議論文。想減肥是很困難的，雖然我們都知道，把鍛煉和飲食結(jié)合好是必不可少的，研究往往表明，在減肥上，飲食確實(shí)比運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)揮更大作用。如果你先注重你的飲食，你有可能花很少的錢，獲得更大的收獲。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“And studies also show that diet does actually play a bigger role in weight loss than exercise.”減肥過程中，飲食確實(shí)比比運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)揮更大作用�？芍�“But at the end of the day, if you expect to lose weight, you’re likely to get more bang for your buck if you focus on your diet first. ”如果你先注重你的飲食，你有可能花很少的錢，獲得更大的收獲，即更加合算。故選A。

【2】段落大意題。結(jié)合第三段內(nèi)容以及“A survey of 2000 children found that the level of physical activity was not the main reason for their weight. And a study of 3000 adults discovered that cutting down calories was connected to greater weight loss than exercise alone.”可知，減肥過程中，飲食確實(shí)比運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)揮更大作用。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Now, compare this to the number of calories in a chocolate bar—which is often over 200 calories. You could either walk for about an hour to burn that 200 calories, or you could simply not eat that chocolate bar.”可知，一板巧克力的能量是200多卡路里，需要走路一個(gè)小時(shí)燃燒這些卡路里，或者選擇不吃這個(gè)巧克力。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)地三段“And a study of 3000 adults discovered that cutting down calories was connected to greater weight loss than exercise alone.”可知是對3000個(gè)成年人的調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)減少卡路里攝入結(jié)合鍛煉會讓減肥更有效，排除A和C；“exercise has many health advantages besides weight loss, like slowing the aging process and improving mental health.”可知，鍛煉除了可以幫助減肥之外，還有很多健康好處。故選B。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納題。本文主要敘述在減肥中，把鍛煉和飲食結(jié)合好是必不可少的，飲食確實(shí)比比運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)揮更大作用。如果你先注重你的飲食，你有可能花很少的錢，獲得更大的收獲。主要是把減肥中鍛煉和飲食發(fā)揮的作用做對比。故選A。
