Question

Have you ever played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!

Like many other teenage boys, Jones loved sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight a trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may catch up with the football game by the end of summer.

Jones chose the popular dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10!

In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “we are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.

Researchers are looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video game in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination, and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.

The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such a game to dance away your extra weight?

【解析】

試題分析：目前不僅在West Virginia而且在美國，有一個(gè)兒童肥胖危機(jī)。告戒人們超重會帶來心臟病。本文通過Jones的故事，可知玩視頻舞蹈游戲可以被用來幫助減肥。

1.1】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二、三句at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight a trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds5英尺高，175磅，他發(fā)現(xiàn)他的體重有麻煩。他的醫(yī)生讓他見50磅。因此說明他超重，故選B。

2.2】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “we are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,”在West Virginia，被檢查到患心臟病的接近6000孩子中，有43%被認(rèn)為是超重，超過25%脂肪太多。“不僅在West Virginia而且在美國，我們有一個(gè)兒童肥胖危機(jī)”。所以劃線部分的詞義是“肥胖”，故選D。

3.3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10!玩游戲兩周后，他又減了10磅。從這里可知做游戲后可以減體重，故選B。

4.4】A主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Have you ever played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight! 你有沒有玩過視頻舞蹈游戲？現(xiàn)在這種游戲被用來幫助減肥。所以最佳主題應(yīng)選A。
