Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory（呼吸的）system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina（耐力）However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as walking. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally（最初地）started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks.
It's not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come.
I'll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn't know what to say, so I just replied that I didn't mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.

Is It a Healthy Interest
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the world's greatest living explorer. His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation（极地环行）and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot. So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise can benefit you highly as it reduces both the pulse（rate and the blood pressure, thus reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body. It also helps to keep the artery（脉搏）walls more elastic（有弹性的）.
But can you push yourself too much On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of "moderate" exercise a week, which is a little more than quick walking. "We need to be careful when we' re doing extreme sports," says expert Len Almond. "Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body's ability to recover. The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme. "
We all know how the Olympics began. The man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with news of a victory died as soon as he arrived, and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack. Further research was done by scientists. They studied cyclists on a race that covered 230km with a height change of 5,500m. They were interested in one particular enzyme（酶）, high concentrations of which were found in those who had suffered a heart attack. The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race. The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports. But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes, you ask whether exercise is worth it, I advise you to consider your own condition. Personally, I agree with the saying: "Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years. "
5. According to the passage, taking exercise can ________.
A. speed up the heart rate
B. increase stress on the heart
C. reduce the blood pressure
D. keep the artery walls straight
6. What does expert Len Almond suggest
A. Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress.
B. Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body.
C. We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports.
D. There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress.
7. Why is the research on the cyclists mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To suggest a different area of research.
B. To support the activity of taking part in sports.
C. To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists.
D. To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks.
8. The author believes that exercise ________.
A. helps you live a regular life
B. adds years to your life
C. should be done in moderation
D. will be worth the effort

Are you trying to find the ideal time for exercise 1 Follow these tips to figure out what fitness routine works best for you.
Dawn, dusk or the dead of night-when's the best time to work out Well, that depends on when's the best time for you, because the benefits of physical activity depend upon how consistent you are. 2 But if you're not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out. The key is to do what's most likely to work for you consistently.
3 If you find that working out too late in the evening keeps you from falling asleep easily, shift your exercise session earlier in the day or try less intense, more mindful forms of movement.
To stay motivated, choose activities you enjoy. If you' re a social person, do something that engages you socially. Take a group exercise class, join a recreational team or walk with a group of friends. If you prefer having time alone, walking, swimming or biking solo might be a better fit for you. 4
There are so many choices. 5 Having a variety of fitness activities to choose from may keep you from getting bored or burnt out.
A. The truth is, it's personal!

参考答案：
一、阅读理解
A
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过亲身经历告诉我们散步是最好的运动方式，并且散步也有助于人们的社会交往。
1.A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句I originally（最初地）started walking…for its own sake.可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时他没有车。故选A。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come可知，这里是说哪怕作者有一天没有散步。take up开始从事；leave out遗漏，省去；jump lightly轻轻地跳；change quickly很快地变化。故选B。
3.D推理判断题。作者在文中谈到了散步的好处，与骑自行车相比，散步更能广交朋友，拓展视野，故作者更喜欢散步，故选D。A项和B项说法太绝对，文章并不是讲散步和骑自行车哪个更好；C项与第二段中的However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as walking.矛盾。
4.C推理判断题。根据文章最后两段可知，作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，即散步在社交方面的意义。故选C。A项“为了与我们分享难忘的经历。”，B项“为了告诉我们如何养成散步的习惯。”和D项“为了向我们解释为什么平常的散步要花费他那么多时间。”均与题意不符。
B
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。虽然运动对身体有益，但是极限运动会给身体造成伤害，作者呼吁适度运动。
5.C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Exercise can benefit you highly as it reduces both the pulse（脉搏）rate and the blood pressure, thus reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body.”可知，运动可以降低脉搏速率和血压，缓解心脏压力。故选C项。
6.B推理判断题。根据第三段中Len Almond说的话“We need to be careful when we're doing extreme sports”及“Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body's ability to recover.”可知，Len Almond认为极限运动对人的身体有害。故选B项。信息句主要体现的是极限运动带给人们的伤害，而A、D项主要介绍的是压力，所以不符合题意；C项与信息句不一致，极限运动对身体造成的损害几乎无法恢复。
7.D推理判断题。第四段第二句中提到“the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack”，接着讲述科学家研究了完成长230千米、高度变化5,500米自行车比赛的运动员，发现他们体内有一种化学物质浓度上升，这种化学物质在心脏病人体内浓度很高，由此可知，文章提到自行车运动员是为了证明极限运动可能导致心脏病。故选D项。
8.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes, you ask whether exercise is worth it, I advise you to consider your own condition.”可知，作者认为运动应该适度。故选C项。
二、七选五
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，介绍了如何确定适合自己的锻炼身体的时间的一些技巧。
1.A根据上句Are you trying to find the ideal time for exercise （你在试图找到最适合的锻炼时间吗？）并结合选项可知A项The truth is, it's personal! （事实是，这是个人问题！）是对上句问题的回答。故答案为A。
2.E根据下句But if you're not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out.（但是，如果你不是一个早起的人，那么努力在黎明起床锻炼身体可能对你不起作用。）可知E项You might have heard that the best time to exercise is early in the morning.（你可能听说过，锻炼的最佳时间是清晨。）符合语境，上下文衔接自然，逻辑通顺。故答案为E。
3.G根据下句中的...shift your exercise session earlier in the day or try less intense, more mindful forms of movement. G项中的flexible and have a plan for various times of a day相呼应。故答案为G。
4.F根据空前两个If引导的条件状语从句，提出了两种不同的假设可知，F项If you'd like to spend more time with your family, find an activity you can do together.（如果你想花更多时间和你的家人在一起，找一项你们可以一起做的活动。）与上面两句是并列关系，且语义通顺，逻辑合理。故答案为F。
5.B根据上句There are so many choices.和下句中的a variety of fitness activities可知，B项Don't limit yourself to just one.（不要把自己限制到仅仅一个选择中。）符合语境。故答案为B。
