Question

If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal(內(nèi)部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了通過節(jié)食維持體重的人比經(jīng)常運動的人更容易堆積內(nèi)部脂肪，盡管他們看起來很苗條。由于瘦的人體重并未超標，醫(yī)生們擔心瘦的人可能會因為沒有明確的預警信號而對自己的健康麻痹大意。專家很早就已經(jīng)證實了愛運動的人比那些苗條但是不愛運動的人要健康。

1.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes.并非有心臟病的人都有內(nèi)部肥胖，故選A。

2.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,鍛煉在人的生活中起很重要的作用，故選B。

3.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.即使人很苗條，但也不一定就不胖，故選C。

4.這是詞義猜測題。根據(jù)如果你想要健康沒有捷徑，只有鍛煉，故選C。

考點：這是一篇健康保健類閱讀。

點評：閱讀理解題中所設置的詞義猜測類題多是對生詞、短語、指示代詞的猜測。一方面，命題者要求考生所猜測的單詞或短語可能是已學過的或是考生較熟悉的，但高考所考查的是不太常見的意思；另一方面命題者要求考生所猜測的單詞或短語可能是考生沒有學過的。此時，對單詞或短語的猜測不要停留在字面上,要根據(jù)語境來判斷。
