A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults prefer to catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain's largest health charity.The results were very astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed (調(diào)查) said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said;"People need to get fitter,not only for themselves but also for their families,friends and evidently their pets.If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basics of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was ashamed as the most lazy city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

分析 本文為社會生活類說明文,文中分析了一項關(guān)于英國人懶惰調(diào)查的結(jié)果,英國人懶惰的程度讓人驚訝;令人擔(dān)憂的是,在654名有孩子的參與者中,64%的人說他們太累了不能和孩子們一起玩;研究由此得出結(jié)論,這就是1/6的英國兒童在上學(xué)之前就被認(rèn)定為肥胖的原因;與肥胖相關(guān)的疾病如心臟病和癌癥在穩(wěn)步上漲;為了他人,人們需要健康;
解答 68.答案是A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;根據(jù)第倒數(shù)第二段可知,格拉斯哥是英國最懶惰的城市,緊隨其后的是伯明翰和南安普頓,兩者比例相同,故在懶惰方面伯明翰僅次于格拉斯哥,答案選A.
69.答案是D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;第六段中"This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.(這導(dǎo)致這個報告得出結(jié)論:難怪在英國1/6的孩子在上學(xué)前被認(rèn)定為肥胖)"說明了"this"是很多孩子肥胖的原因;而this指代上文第五段中"Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.在654名有孩子的參與者中,64%的人說他們太累了不能和孩子們一起玩";由此判斷選D.
70.答案是A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;根據(jù)最后一段中"where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase 這種情形中肥胖相關(guān)的疾病如心臟病和癌癥在穩(wěn)步上漲",由此推測肥胖會導(dǎo)致心臟病,故選A.
點評 閱讀要在整體理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上,在做細(xì)節(jié)題時根據(jù)題干定位細(xì)節(jié),在語境中正確理解原句,然后對照選項做出合理的判斷;必要的時候要進(jìn)行推理,透過句子表面看作者的真正意圖.
