Question

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

試題分析:

1.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三自然段第二句話可知，作者舉了一個環(huán)保的運(yùn)動就是力量型散步，因為這種運(yùn)動不需要任何對環(huán)境不利的器械，只需一雙優(yōu)質(zhì)的運(yùn)動鞋，所以由此可以推斷，作者支持的是對環(huán)境無任何不利影響的運(yùn)動。B項“在沙漠上的摩托車比賽”，摩托車有尾氣排放到空氣中，故排除；C項“在體育館里打籃球”，體育館需要電和水來包養(yǎng)，故排除；D項“在體育中心游泳”，游泳池需要大量的水，故排除；A項“環(huán)湖騎自行車”，這項運(yùn)動對環(huán)境無任何不利影響，符合題意，故A項正確。

2.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二自然段Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場) in good condition.可知，高爾夫球場需要大量鄉(xiāng)間的土地，而且需要大量的水。此外，各種化學(xué)物質(zhì)和大量的能源被使用來保持球場處于良好的狀態(tài)。故作者認(rèn)為這項運(yùn)動對環(huán)境大大不利。A項“在葡萄牙和西班牙高爾夫運(yùn)動很流行。”文章只是提到這兩個國家水資源短缺，故排除；B項“高爾夫會引起全世界的水資源短缺。”文中沒提到全世界缺水，故排除；C項“它會用化學(xué)物質(zhì)和垃圾污染地球。”用地球這個詞范圍太大，故排除；故D項符合題意。

3.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三自然段的內(nèi)容可知，力量型散步作為作者支持的體育運(yùn)動是因為它對環(huán)境無任何不利的影響，而且也不會浪費(fèi)任何的資源。A項“它是一種戶外運(yùn)動”；B項“它有利于我們的健康。”D項“他被專家所推薦”，此三項不符合題意。故C項正確。

4.考察主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一自然段的Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.可知作者認(rèn)為無論你們參加什么體育運(yùn)動，你們一定要通過使用環(huán)保的器械和買可再循環(huán)的材料來使它變得更綠色。所以我們知道，作者寫這篇文章是想告訴我們一定要參加綠色的體育運(yùn)動。故B項正確。

考點：本篇為說明文。

點評：文章主要講述的是人們做一些體育運(yùn)動是有益健康的，但是最好做比較環(huán)保的運(yùn)動，例如力量型散步就是比較環(huán)保的，既不浪費(fèi)資源，也不產(chǎn)生對大自然有害的東西。
