题目解答

答案

根据文章内容，作者明确指出“Don't bother with equipment you don't need”，并强调身体本身就是最好的锻炼工具，无需购买任何设备。文中提到，虽然健身房有各种设备，但人们在没有这些设备的情况下也能锻炼出好身材。因此，正确答案是D：无需购买任何设备。 A项“一双合适的鞋子”未提及，文章未强调需要购买鞋子。 B项“大量个人用品”与文意不符，作者反对购买多余设备。 C项“健身房的 fancy equipment”被作者否定，认为并非必需。 D项“无需任何设备”符合文章核心观点。 答案：D. No equipment at all.

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读文章中关于锻炼所需设备的描述，然后将各个选项与文章内容进行对比分析。

  1. 文章中提到“Don't bother with equipment you don't need”，明确表达了不要去理会那些不需要的设备。
  2. 接着又说“people got in shape without it for a long time before it was an option”，说明在有那些设备之前，人们很长时间没有设备也能锻炼出好身材。
  3. 还指出“your body is the best tool you have for getting great workouts in with no equipment needed”，强调身体本身就是最好的锻炼工具，不需要设备。
  4. 对于选项A，文章中并没有提及需要一双合适的鞋子来进行锻炼，所以A选项不符合文意。
  5. 选项B中说需要大量个人用品，这与文章中反对购买多余设备的观点相悖，所以B选项错误。
  6. 选项C提到健身房里那些昂贵的设备，而文章明确表示这些设备并非必需，所以C选项也不正确。
  7. 选项D“无需任何设备”与文章中强调的不需要设备就能锻炼的观点一致，所以D选项正确。
