选修7 Unit 1 Living well三. 阅读理解ASome people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believethat when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after y ou finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.56. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes57. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____.A. we only need to exercise twice a weekB. we should exercise three times a weekC. muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week58. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hourB. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energyC. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceD. both A and B59. If you have exercised too much, _______.A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC. your heart will not be beating loudlyD. you will be too tired to move60. This passage tells us that _________.A. it is better to do more running than walkingB. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hoursD. in order to lose weight, you have to run fastBWe have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. Y ou hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him ho lding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.61. If you want to answer the phone without any trouble, you’d better ___________ .A. pull out the telephone line when you are with your babyB. put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / herC. not hurry to answer the phoneD. make sure your baby is not near the table62.

高二英语选修七-Unit1-单元主题素养阅读
Unit1 单元主题素养阅读KNFB Reader APPKNFB阅读应用程序阅读提示:一种新的应用程序为盲人带来福音，它能为盲人读出印刷品上的内容。
A new computer program is being praised as a life changer for blind people. The new program is known as the KNFB Reader APP. It can help users listen to an audio (音频的）read-back—the sound of printed material.The application costs $ 99. It is the product of a long relationship between the National Federation of the Blind and Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist and an employee of Google.The KNFB Reader APP makes use of new pattern recognition and image processing technology, and new hardware for smartphones. People using the app can adjust or change the position of the camera and then the app can read printed material out.①Mr. Kurzweil started working on what he called “reading machines” in the early ……1970s. ②The idea came after talking with a blind person who expressed frustration with the lack of technology to help blind people. His first reading machine was the size of a washing machine. It cost $ 50,000. The technology has continued to improve over the past 20 years. The new smartphone app can recognize printed material in one language and translate it into another language. But it is not available on a mobile device until now. In the past，it cost more than $ 1,000 to use the app with a camera or a mobile phone.Blind people say the app will make life much easier and it will help with everything from reading restaurant menus to studying papers in the classroom. Users say the app has given some people greater independence. One user, named Gordon Luke，said that he was able to use the app to read his voting card for the recent vote in Scotland.Bryan Bashin leads the non-profit group LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. He is also blind. He says the KNFB Reader APP shows the positive impact that technology can have and that there are times in his life when he wishes the KNFB Reader APP were available to him. He adds that the ability to information quickly with something that fits in your pocket will be what he calls “a game c hanger”.③Hubei Province has approved an action plan to protect the Yangtze River湖北省批准了保护长江的行动计划阅读提示:这是一篇新闻报道，报道了湖北省批准通过了一项行动计划，旨在减少长江沿岸的污染，保护其周边环境。
