Exercise may not be fun, but it isn't that hard. You don't need more than 20 minutes a day, and that's something pretty much everyone can spare. We often neglect our physical health because we're full of bad excuses. If that sounds like you, make this weekend the one where you start getting in shape.Don't bother with equipment you don't need. With the amount of equipment you'll find in a gym, it's easy to believe you need a lot of stuff to exercise. Sure, that fancy equipment works fine, but people got in shape without it for a long time before it was an option. There's no reason you can't do this, too, so don't assume you need to spend a lot of money. You don't need to spend any, really, unless you plan to run and need a decent pair of shoes.Put together a plan you can follow. Nobody sticks with an exercise routine they hate. You have to at least be able to tolerate a fair amount of the workout you plan for yourself and find a way to stay motivated to do the rest. If you like the traditional route—that is, exercising for around 30-45 minutes a few days a week—we put together a workout routine that you can follow easily.Don't start a great routine and then sit all day long. Getting exercise is important, but it doesn't mean much if you're sitting down all day. Fortunately that can be easily-remedied by just getting up once in a while, doing some desk exercises, and/or switching to a standing desk. The important thing is that you're not a lumpy human being for most hours of your life. When you're active for only a very small portion of a given day, exercise isn't going to help you all that much.1.According to the passage, why couldn’t many people keep themselves in good condition?A. They are short of money.B. They are very tired after a day’s work.C. They always find many different excuses.D. They are very busy all the time.2.Which of the following is a better workout plan, according to the passage?A. The one people have to tolerate all the workout.B. The one people keep motivated to go on.C. The one people have to keep exercising for around 30-45 minutes every day.D. The one people hate to follow.3.What is advised to do to help you stay healthy according to the passage?A. Keep standing up and sitting down while working.B. Switch desks while working.C. Get up occasionally while working.D. Be active while working.4.Which of the following statements is true according to passage?A. You need to set aside a very small portion of a day for exercise.B. You need to spend a lot of money doing exercise.C. you need some stuff to exercise.D. You need to make a plan you can follow.5.What can not be implied from the passage?A. There are people who always find reasons to do what seems impossible.B. People should await his chance instead of creating it.C. Numerous people always find excuses to give up something possible.D. People should stop making excuses and starting out before it is too late.

词汇理解：Physical activity does the body good, and there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)2016年6月大学英语四级卷1真题及答案

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Physical activity does the body good, and there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,26to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a27of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic28, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,29in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to30on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.31in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be32exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood33to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are34to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve35and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they're running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

A)attendance

B)consequently

C)current

D)depressing

E)dropping

F)essential

G)feasible

H)flow

I)mood

J)mutually

K)particularly

Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on on

e’ s outlook (way of looking at things )for hours,days or even weeks. That’ s great if your mood is a pleasant one,but a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely.

Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out ;sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacology (药物学)offers a lot tranquilizers (镇定剂)and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’ t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts,don’ t head for the drug store—try the following method.

Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise,you’d be in high spirits，’’says Kathryn Lance，author of Running for Health and Beauty.

Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework,however，does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环)，and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week. What is the main subject of the passage？

A.How to beat a bad mood

B.How to talk bad moods out.

C.How to do physical exercises.

D.How to do aerobic exercise

It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.when one is in a bad mood,he or she may not work very well

B.the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself

C.some drugs are more effective than physical exercises

D.taking drugs is at the risk of being poisonous

“Feel out of sorts”，as it is used in the second paragraph,could best be replaced byA.put things in order

B.are in a bad mood

C.search for tranquilizers

D.want a mood-raiser

Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage？A.An exercise and its importance are explained

B.A problem is examined and solutions are given

C.Two different views of a problem are presented

D.Recent developments in medicine are described

Footracing is a popular activity in the United States. It's not only seen as a compet

itive sport, but also as a way to exercise, to enjoy the comraderies (同志情谊) of like - minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time, or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those less than one - year old (who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their 80s, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.

The largest footrace in the world is the 12 - kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific ocean. In 1993 there were 80, 000 people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win, and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who wear costumes just for fun. In 1993 there was a group of men all of whom dressed up like Elvis Presley. There was a group of firefighters who were all tied in a long line and were carrying a firehouse. One year there was a bridal (新婚的) party in which the bride dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo (晚礼服). They threw flowers to bystanders, and were actually married at some point along the route.

The main purpose of this passage is to ______.

A．encourage people to run

B．describe a popular activity

C．make fun of runners in costume

D．give reasons for the popularity of footraces

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants i

nto a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.

Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.

One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.

Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the type he can choose.

Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

Many people find home gardening______.

A．expensive and boring

B．interesting and enjoyable

C．time consuming and inconvenient

D．neither interesting nor enjoyable

What kind of human being will the future spaceman be?Will he need bones of steel and pow

What kind of human being will the future spaceman be？

Will he need bones of steel and powerful muscles to resist rocket thrust，the lungs of a glass blower，a mighty heart，the calmness of an acrobat，unconscious death urges，or a schizophrenic(患精神分裂症的)drove toward isolation？ Popular ideas of a spaceman tend to be funny composites of fiction and fact.

A more realistic portrait emerges from the young science of bioastronautics，the newest and strangest of medical disciplines.The astronaut may be described as a young man of high intelligence who is normal to an abnormal degree.On earth he may well have been a high diver，high jumper，pole vaulter，or acrobat.He must be highly motivated，carefully trained，and he must want to come back.

His heart and lungs must be healthy but need not be exceptionally developed，for his cabin will be pressurized.Huge muscles may actually be disadvantageous，for he will have almost no way to get exercise，and he will find that the strength of a year old child is adequate in the weightlessness of space.A firm body and a short， strong neck will help him to withstand(抗拒;经得起……)the tremendous forces encountered at take off.Most important physically，his digestive system must be one that will not be upset by weightlessness;he must not be subject to motion sickness.
