They warn the 150minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some peopleparticularly older individuals. And trying to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public he alth officials say current remendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults remend at least twoandahalf hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.But in two separate articles in The BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary (久坐不动的) to make small increases in their activity levelsrather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of energetic activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, pared to people who do no exercise.In the second article, Prof. Philipe Sparkling of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their adviceparticularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss “realistic options” to increase activitysuch as getting people to stand up and move during TV mercial breaks.Prof. Kevin Fenton at Public Health England says, “Everyone needs to be active every dayshort periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions.” This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.【语篇解读】本文主要讨论了人们对现行锻炼指导原则的不同看法。4What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?A10minute exercise.B20minute exercise.C60minute exercise.

Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brickandmortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online. The new trend is forcing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.Recent research found that 40 percent of US shoppers have showroomed previously, with bigbox retailers suffering the most. Specifically, the study shows that Best Buy, Walmart and Target are the most likely brickandmortar stores to have shoppers test out a product instore and then purchase it online later, while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant (巨人) most often to make their showrooming purchases.Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front. Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products theyre considering buying. With smartphones, consumers can now pare virtual prices, at both other brickandmortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what theyre seeking for less expensive online, the majority will be seeking_the_first_exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brickandmortar stores walk out and buy their purchases online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an instore experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are showrooming in other businesses.To cut down on showrooming, many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their stores. Among the steps theyre taking are pricematching guarantees that allow shoppers to pay a discounted price if they find it cheaper online. This ensures that even a showrooming shopper can make the purchase in the storeregardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.Another popular method to fight against showrooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store. This reduces shopping costs and gets customers in the store, where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makes shoppers purchase something instore rather than online, and meet those needs. Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel themthe most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.【语篇解读】近年来，实体店面临的最大挑战就是消费者在实体店体验产品之后，却在网上购买产品。针对此现象，许多零售商开始实施新的策略，以把顾客留在实体店。8According to the passage, a showrooming shopper tends to _.Apay for everything onlineBpurchase online for a lower priceCrush to buy things in a storeDhave better bargaining skills解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brickandmortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online.”可知，这个群体的消费者一般都是先从实体店里看过或试过想购买的商品，然后再在网络上搜索这些商品并购买。故选B项。9What contributes to the growing popularity of showrooming?AThe advertisements by online retail giants.BThe petition between big stores.CThe wide use of smartphones.DThe decline of the brickandmortar stores.解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front.”可知，正是智能手机推动了这种现象。故选C项。10The underlined words “seeking the first exit” in Paragraph 3 probably mean“_”Asearching for lower pricesBmaking a purchase on the spotClocating the first exit quickly Dleaving as soon as possible解析：D词义猜测题。根据对画线部分所在句子前后句的理解可知，消费者通过网络搜寻到这种货物在网络中的售价比实体店的售价便宜后，他们会立刻离开实体店，然后在网店下单购买。故选D项。11The last three paragraphs mainly talk about ways of _.Aincreasing sales at storesBpreventing purchase onlineCsatisfying customers needsDadvising shoppers to buy more解析：A推理判断题。分析文章的后三段，从每一段的首句都可以看出，这三段都是在讲述让实体店挽回顾客增加盈利的一些方法与措施。D(2018甘肃省兰州市高考实战模拟考试)My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa.

Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the somberness (忧郁的氛围) on that bus would change. On my next visit, Mom mentioned the ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh, are you talking with them now？” I asked.“Of course，” she said. “One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said, Isnt it a wonderful day？ I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didnt give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long, the whole group was laughing and talking to one another.
