【文章大意】本文是科普文,用数据和事实辩驳了时下一种错误的观念:

日行万步,健康长寿。

1.Whyistheideaofwalkingatleast10,000stepsadayoriginallypromoted?

A.TotestaproductandpopularizeitinAmerica.

B.TomakepeoplewalktopromotehealthinJapan.

C.Tocollectinformationforscientificresearch.

D.Toadvertiseaproductandincreaseitssales.

【解析】选D。

细节理解题。

从文章第一句Infact,theideaofwalkingatleast10,000stepsadayforhealthgoesback10yearsagotoamarketingcampaignstartedinJapantopromoteastep-countingset可知该点子是商家为了做推销而想出的。

【误区警示】A项是国家不对,日本而非美国;B项是曲解,不符合原文意思;C项是主观臆断。

2.Whichoneisappropriateifpeoplewanttolivelonger,accordingtothestudy?

A.Walklessthan2,700stepsaday.

B.Walkmorethan7,500stepsaday.

C.Walk4,000stepsaday.

D.Walk10,000stepsaday.

【解析】选C。

细节理解题。

从第四段“Itturnsoutthatwomenwhotookabout4,000stepsperdaygotanincreaseinlongevity,comparedwithwomenwhotookfewersteps.”可知。

3.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“maxedout”inthelastparagraphmean?

A.Reachthelowerlimit.　　

B.Reachtheupperlimit.

C.Turnout.

D.Figureout.

【解析】选B。

词义猜测题。

从下文morethan7,500stepsperdaysawnoadditionalraiseinlongevity可推出maxout是“最多”之意。

4.What’sthebesttitleforthistext?

A.There’snothingmagicalaboutthenumber10,000.

B.Aseriousscientificstudy.

C.It’stimetomoveup.

D.Tenthousandstepsadaykeepsadoctoraway.

【解析】选A。

标题判断题。

作者通过具体的数据和实验结果告诉我们日行一万步健康长寿是以讹传讹,是错误的观念。

文章开头就讲述这个数字的错误来源,接下来通过科学的实验数据说明10000这个数字的不准确程度,并指出合理的数据应该是5000左右（4400——7500）,所以为吸引人们眼球,激发好奇心,要从10,000这个数字说起:

它没什么传说中的魔力。

【误区警示】B、C项跑偏,以偏概全;D项与文章本意背道而驰。

B

【知识拓展】长难句分析

　Peoplewholinkedwithfriendsontheactivity-trackingappincreasetheirstepsby400adayonaverageoverthenextweek,comparedwithpeoplewhomadenosocialconnections,accordingtoTimAlthoffandtwoothercomputerscientistsatStanfordUniversity.

翻译:

根据蒂姆·奥尔索夫和另外两名来自斯坦福大学的电脑科学家所说,与那些没有社交联系的人相比,与朋友在追踪活动的应用上有联系的人在接下来的一个星期里平均每天多走400步。

分析:

who引导定语从句修饰people;comparedwith...是过去分词短语作状语,修饰主句。

上文中的andthenyourwholearm可对应A选项中的theotherarm,指伸展完一只手臂,再继续伸展另一只。

2.【解析】选C。

根据本段第一句Workingoutbeforeyoueatencouragesyourbodytoburnmorefatforenergyratherthanrelyingoncarbohydratesfromfood.可知本段建议在你吃东西之前锻炼能鼓励你的身体燃烧更多的脂肪来获取能量,而不是依赖食物中的碳水化合物。
