　　America is a country on the move．In unheard-of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health．According to the latest figures, 59 per cent of American adults exercise regularly－up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago．Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active．

　　It is hard not to get the message．The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books．Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises．Growing publicity(宣传)for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running．Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding－and sometimes safer－forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise．

　　As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits．The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously(强有力地)enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time．Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months．

题目解答

答案

1．D;2．B;3．A;

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨、细节信息及标题归纳能力的掌握。
解题思路：

第一题需结合文章最后一段关于科学证据的描述，判断健康益处的来源；
第二题需定位第二段中运动普及的时间节点与原因；
第三题需综合全文内容，抓住核心主题“运动与健康的关系”。
关键点：科学证据、时间顺序、主题概括是解题的核心。

第（1）题

问题：文章中关于锻炼的健康益处的描述是什么？
解析：

关键句：第三段首句“随着锻炼的流行，科学证据也越来越多”说明健康益处有科学依据。
选项分析：
- D（有科学依据支持）对应“scientific evidence”，与原文一致；
- 其余选项与文章中“已证实”的表述矛盾。

第（2）题

问题：运动兴趣增长的原因是什么？
解析：

关键句：第二段“1960年代军事医生的研究显示锻炼的好处，导致运动普及”。
选项分析：
- B（研究显示健康益处）直接对应“research by military doctors began to show the health benefits”；
- 其他选项（如A、D）是后续现象，非根本原因。

第（3）题
