Question

（London）—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal( 內(nèi)部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI（核磁共振） machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （沉積）of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述根據(jù)Dr Jimmy Bell研究顯示，在一些重要器官如心臟或者肝臟周圍的內(nèi)部脂肪可能是跟更容易注意到的外部脂肪一樣危險。保持健康，沒有捷徑，必須要讓運動成為你生活的一部分。

1.題。從文中第一段Some doctors now think that the internal( 內(nèi)部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.一些醫(yī)生認為在一些重要器官如心臟或者肝臟周圍的內(nèi)部脂肪可能是跟更容易注意到的外部脂肪一樣危險。以及第二段Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat瘦并不一定意味著你并不胖。故選A。

2.細節(jié)理解題。從文中第二段“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.瘦并不一定意味著你并不胖。故選D。

3.細節(jié)理解題。排除法。從文中最后一段The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. 好消息是內(nèi)部脂肪可以被很容易燒掉，通過運動或甚至通過改善你的飲食。故選項A,B均正確；從文中第四段Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent. 女人中，45%的人有著正常BMI分數(shù)實際上有太高水平的內(nèi)部脂肪。在男性中，占了近 60%。故C正確。而選項D有心臟病的人都有內(nèi)部脂肪，在文中找不到依據(jù)，故D不正確。故選D。

4.細節(jié)分析題。根據(jù)最后一段If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said. 如果你想要健康，那里是沒有捷徑可走。運動必須成為你生活方式的一個重要部分，"貝爾說。故運動在人們保持健康中扮演重要的角色。故選B。

5.短語理解題。根據(jù)最后一段If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said. 如果你想要健康，那里是沒有捷徑可走。運動必須成為你生活方式的一個重要部分。由Exercise has to be可知，想要健康是沒有容易的方法的，故選B。
