【解析】

本文介紹了一份世界衛(wèi)生組織關(guān)于成年人鍛煉情況的研究報(bào)告。

【1】根據(jù)上文“About 25 percent of adults worldwide do not get enough exercise, according to the study.”可知，根據(jù)這項(xiàng)研究，全世界約有25% 的成年人沒(méi)有得到足夠的鍛煉；根據(jù)下文“Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk for deadly diseases such as heart disease and cancer.”可知，正因?yàn)槿绱�，大約14億人面臨更大的致命疾病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，如心臟病和癌癥；所以此處是“沒(méi)有得到足夠鍛煉的人的數(shù)量沒(méi)有變”，“This number hasn’t changed since 2001.”這個(gè)數(shù)字從2001年起就沒(méi)變過(guò)。故選A。

【2】根據(jù)上文“According to the WHO, people should do at least 150 minutes of light exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming.”可知，根據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織，人們每周應(yīng)該做至少150分鐘的輕度運(yùn)動(dòng)，如跳舞或游泳。此處是在舉例說(shuō)明人們每天應(yīng)該參加的鍛煉項(xiàng)目和時(shí)間，所以此處填“They can also do 75 minutes of heavy exercise, such as running or playing soccer.”他們還可以做75分鐘的大強(qiáng)度運(yùn)動(dòng)，比如跑步或踢足球。故選E。

【3】根據(jù)“When it comes to exercising more, experts say that we don’t have to go to the gym every time.”可知，說(shuō)到多鍛煉，專家說(shuō)我們不必每次都去健身房；根據(jù)下文“Standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day is also good for our health.”可知，每天單腿站立30秒對(duì)我們的健康也有好處，此處是舉例說(shuō)明不去健身房的運(yùn)動(dòng)方式，所以此處應(yīng)填“For example, we can take the stairs instead of taking an elevator.”可知，比如，我們可以走樓梯，而不是坐電梯。故選D。

【4】根據(jù)下文“Thirty-two percent of women fail to exercise enough, compared to twenty-two percent of men.”可知，32% 的女性缺乏足夠的鍛煉，而男性只有22% 缺乏足夠鍛煉，此處是說(shuō)明女性不如男性活躍，所以此處應(yīng)填“The study also found that women are less active than men.” 研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性不如男性活躍。故選C。

【5】根據(jù)下文“The study says that 14 percent of Chinese adults don’t exercise enough, much lower than the average rate — 26 percent — of other middle-income nations.”可知，研究表明，14% 的中國(guó)成年人鍛煉不足，遠(yuǎn)低于其他中等收入國(guó)家的平均水平，其他中等收入國(guó)家的平均水平為26%。此處將中國(guó)和其他中等收入國(guó)家進(jìn)行比較，所以在這份研究中，中國(guó)被列為中等收入國(guó)家。“In the study, China is listed as a middle-income country.”表示“在這項(xiàng)研究中，中國(guó)被列為中等收入國(guó)家。”故選B。
