Question

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．

There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free.

4.B

【解析】

試題分析：運(yùn)動(dòng)可以讓人保持健康也可以讓人們接近大自然。然而不管你是在大山里，還是草地上運(yùn)動(dòng)，都應(yīng)該注意人們對運(yùn)動(dòng)的選擇都可能會影響到地球的環(huán)境。在文章中作者鼓勵(lì)人們要多進(jìn)行環(huán)保的、不消耗自然資源的運(yùn)動(dòng)，比如疾走鍛煉或者自行車運(yùn)動(dòng)等。

1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容 Golf, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition可知高爾夫球之所以是消耗資源的一項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，是因?yàn)樗�占地多、用水多、維護(hù)起來耗費(fèi)能源多，故答案選C。

2.A推理判斷題。從文章第三段內(nèi)容There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today可知力量型步行或者疾走鍛煉是既環(huán)保又健身的運(yùn)動(dòng)，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第三段首先提出 There are many environment-friendly sports．然后介紹power walking：You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse 由此可知作者用power walking 為例的原因是疾走鍛煉是不消耗能源又健身的運(yùn)動(dòng)，答案選D。

4.B推理判斷題。文章開頭提出人們選擇的運(yùn)動(dòng)會對環(huán)境產(chǎn)生影響，然后以高爾夫?yàn)槔�介紹了消耗資源的運(yùn)動(dòng)方式，又以疾走鍛煉為例講述了環(huán)保型運(yùn)動(dòng)方式，最后又提出Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials，由此判斷文章的行文發(fā)展是采用了對比和勸說的寫作方法，答案選B。
