Question

【題目】Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.

However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather.

Lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. And the body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather because dehydration levels are lower in winter than in warmer conditions.

John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at ST. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects, were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.

From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweet. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.?

When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to pump blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands instead of gloves. Wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.

【5】C

【解析】試題分析：這篇文章通過John Brewer的研究，介紹了冬季做戶外跑步的益處，鼓勵(lì)人們在冬天多做戶外活動(dòng)。

【1】題意：為什么大多數(shù)人不喜歡冬天在室外跑步？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air .，可知是怕冷，故選A。

【2】題意：第3段中下劃線的單詞dehydration是指體內(nèi)????? 的流失？考查詞義理解題。A. water水；B. heat熱量；C. stress壓力；D. blood血。本題是原因狀語從句，根據(jù)前面的結(jié)果the body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather，可知選A。

【3】題意：為什么John Brewer讓一群人在房間里跑？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A. It was easier to be reduce stress. 減輕壓力要容易得多。B. It was easier to produce heat. 更容易產(chǎn)生熱量。C. It was easier to re create different weather conditions. 更容易重新創(chuàng)造不同的天氣條件。D. It was easier to record their biological measurements.更容易記錄他們的生物測量。根據(jù)The test subjects, were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.，可知是為了記錄和研究他們的生物測量。故選C。

【4】題意：人們在寒冷的冬天跑步應(yīng)該穿什么？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The most important things for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing.，可知最重要的是穿合適的衣服，故選D。

【5】題意：這篇文章的寫作目的是什么？考查綜合理解題。A. To tell people not to run in summer . 告訴人們不要在夏天跑步。B. To describe how runners run in winter .描述冬季跑步者是如何跑的。C. To encourage people to run outdoors in winter. 鼓勵(lì)人們在冬天做戶外活動(dòng)。D. To compare the advantages of running in winter and in summer. .比較冬季和夏季跑步的優(yōu)勢。根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容，結(jié)合寫作意圖.So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.，可知作者鼓勵(lì)人們在冬天做戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)，故選C。
