Question

There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles. This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.  

The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained. This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.

The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because _________.

 A．a mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingers

B．a wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakes

C．a movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistake

D．a slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake

What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?

 A．She must dance on the point of her shoes.

B．She must receive long-time training.

C．She must turn around on one foot.

D．She must perform again and again.

The experiments done by some scientists showed that ________.

 A．some male patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experiments

B．the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patients

C．the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart trouble

D．the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen

What would be the best title for this text?

 A．Training Our Bodies     B．Physical Activities

C．Movement Training D．Extra Body Effort

Answer 1

【小題1】C

【小題2】B

【小題3】B

【小題4】A

解析:

【小題1】該題為細節判斷題。從原文第一段This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake.，就可得出答案。

【小題2】這也是一道細節判斷題。從原文第一段A dance…….. must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself.，就可輕而易舉地得出正確答案。

【小題3】該題為細節理解判斷題。由于原文（第二段）The were surprised to find that the harmful effect of a given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patents who were not similarly trained這樣一句話很長，所以，雖然通過該題的題干很容易就能找到相應的文字，但是要想理解這樣長的一個句子是比較困難的。對于這樣長的句子，我們要化繁為簡，先把句子的主要內容找出來看懂，即：the harmful effect was actually less on the heats，這句話的意思是：事實上，對于心臟的不好影響比較小的。然后，我們再把解釋的內容加上去并結合上文看：the harmless effect of a given amount of physical effort，也就是說：（那些心臟病人）在給與了大運動量的訓練之后，事實上，對于心臟的不好影響比較小的。我們再來看后面 on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patents who were not similarly trained，意思是：那些沒有經過類似運動訓練的病人。現在我們再把整個句子看一遍，就不難理解其意了，理解了文意，答案也就不言而喻了。

【小題4】該題是一道歸納主旨大意題，難度相對比較大，它要求考生通讀全文，概括全文主旨大意。考生無法從短文中直接找答案，通過對全文信息處理可得知作者對兩不同類型的運動的描述，無論是技巧型運動，還是力量型運動，都需要堅持不斷的訓練，看懂這一層，就可以明白作者的寫作意圖了，題目也自然就可以選出來了。
