31、age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didnt.

33、nts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and

34、football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer.

35、rative experiments.B. By analyzing previous data.C. By evaluating survey information.D. By tracking participants for a long time.8. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?A.

A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。研究表明，羽毛球和网球这样的球拍类运动最有助于减少死亡率，只要长期坚持喜欢的运动，保持积极心态，都会使你感到幸福。 【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study evaluated responses from 80,306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle an

38、d exercise patterns.”（这项研究评估了英格兰和苏格兰80306名30岁及以上成年人关于他们的健康，生活方式和运动模式的调查反馈。）由此可知，这个研究是通过评估调查问卷来进行的。故选C。【8题详解】词义猜测题。第二段开头提到打羽毛球和网球对减少死亡率的巨大作用，接下来的介绍用调查研究来证明这个结论。根据“ After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise ”可知，研究中评估了参与实验人员的年龄、

39、性别、体重、吸烟习惯、饮酒、受教育程度以及包括指定运动在内的其他运动形式等因素。由此可知指的是段首提到的羽毛球和网球，再根据下文“47% for racket sports,”可知，the named sports指的就是羽毛球和网球。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中“The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.”（跑步和足球明显缺乏益处可能是由于没有考虑到几个变量造成的。）可知，这

40、个研究没有发现跑步和足球明显的好处，可能是由于几个没有考虑到的变量造成的。这说明，这个研究还是有不足之处的地方，研究需要进一步改善。故选D。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term”（最重要的一步是参加任何一种你可能喜欢并长期追随的运动。）可知，作者建议人们喜欢什么运动项目就参与什么项目，只要长期坚持就好。故选A。【点睛】第二节 七选五（共5小题;每小题2.5分

49、“At first, all the students felt confused and frustrated. (一开始，所有的学生都感到困惑和沮丧。)” 和下文“They paid more attention to the people around them. (他们更关注身边的人) ”可知，前后句之间为转折关系，说明了学生发生的变化。所以选择项F“But after a few days without smartphones, they began to notice other things too(但在没有智能手机的几天后，他们开始注意到其他事情。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。

50、【12题详解】根据前句“For one thing, they observed, for the first time, how much other people were using their phones, for example in the middle of a face - to - face conversation.

51、student wrote.
