4 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Recently, a poll(民意调查) finds that although almost three in four adults played sports when they     1     (be) younger, only one in four continue to play sports as adults.

But that decline in interest doesn’t stop parents from encouraging their children to make sports a part of their lives.     2     fact, almost nine in ten parents     3     middle school or high school aged children play sports say that their children benefit     4     great deal or quite a bit from playing sports.

And, while most adults no longer play sports     5     (they), the majority of parents say it is very likely or somewhat likely that their children will continue playing sports when they become adults. One in four parents also hope their children will become     6     (profession)athletes.

“Sports are an important part of a healthy community. They help children and adults maintain a fit     7     (weigh), teach acceptance and teamwork, and expand opportunity for children     8     (live) in poverty(贫困),” said a researcher. “This poll     9     (indicate) that we must continue to encourage children to play sports, but just as important, we must find ways     10     (keep)adults engaged in sports in order to maintain health and well-being.”

6 . You may hear the phrase — dress for success.     1    . But does it matter what you wear for a workout? Listed below are four reasons why you should wear good quality workout clothing.

The Right Athletic Clothing Increases Confidence

The clothing you wear is going to make a difference if you believe it’s going to help you perform better. Studies have shown the positive impact of wearing the right clothes for your workplace and this extends to sports and fitness too.     2    . That is to say, if you like what you are wearing at the gym, there is a greater chance you will want to exercise.

    3    

Maybe you need a shirt that takes away moisture (水分) from the body so your morning jogs are more comfortable and you can stay out longer. However, a pair of running shoes would not be appropriate on the soccer field. Shoes made for running lack the flexibility and stability required for other sports, thus affecting your performance.

The Right Workout Equipment Adds Protection & Prevents Injuries

You may want a cap to cover your head and protect your face. You might want to use gloves in the gym to protect your hands while using improperly fitted equipment is a major cause of sports-related injuries.     4    .

Well-Fitted Athletic Clothing Improves Freedom of Movement

    5    . A tight shirt can restrict your movement. Even if you are able to swing or make other movements you will be affected if you are aware of the tightness around your body.

A．It will consequently turn pleasing workout into hospital visits

B．Good sports shoes protect your feet

C．Freedom of movement is important in intense sports

D．The Good Clothing Can Aid Possibility in Exercise

E．The Correct Sports Clothing Improves Performance

F．If you know you look great — chances are you will act it out

G．In other words, the clothing you choose influences your performance on the sports field

7 . One of the most popular new outdoor activities is day hiking. For many first-time hikers, it’s important to learn the proper hiking tips and safety rules.     1     Here are some of the main ones to know.

Take out your own garbage. One of the biggest surprises for people new to the outdoors is that many parks and trails have no facilities; i.e., no restrooms or garbage cans.     2     You’re even supposed to ferry out poop (your own or your pet’s), unless you bury it 200 feet from the trail or any water source. Advisably, you can pack out trash with some zip top bags.

Don’t move things around. This means no taking home pretty rocks or flowers. Any time you move or remove something, you may destroy an animal s home or a weak ecosystem. Leaving things alone also applies to wildlife, so don’t try to pet a deer or approach a bear for a great photo.     3    

    4    Since hikers tend to head into the outdoors to enjoy all of the natural sights, sounds and smells, don’t blast music, talk loudly on the phone or bring along an uncontrolled pet. Being a considerate hiker also helps the resident wildlife, which may need undisturbed spaces and enough quiet to hear the sounds of nature for their communication and survival.

Know when to stay on and step off the trail. Hiking trails are created with specific purposes, which may include preventing pollution to environment and protecting precious plant and animal communities.     5     There are a few exceptions, such as leaving the trail to “use the restroom”.

A．Enjoy them from a safe distance.

B．Be considerate of your fellow hikers.

C．So stay on the trail as much as possible.

D．Communicate with other hikers politely.

E．That means you’re supposed to carry back out whatever you bring in.

F．Just as with any sport or activity, hiking involves certain accepted practices.

G．It’s also considered proper to step off the trail if you want to rest or have a snack.

8 . As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.

“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.

Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.

“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.

“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”

Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.

1. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?

A．The right way of exercising.	B．The causes of a heart attack.
C．The difficulty of keeping fit.	D．The aging process of the heart.

2. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?

A．Diet plan.	B．Professional background.
C．Exercise type.	D．Previous physical condition.

3. What does Levine’s research find?

A．Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.

B．High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.

C．It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.

D．The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.

4. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?

A．Making use of the findings.	B．Interviewing the study participants.
C．Conducting further research.	D．Clarifying the purpose of the study.

9 . Rollerblading is an excellent sport that just about anyone can enjoy. After you have mastered the basics of rollerblading, you can begin to master the sport. There are a variety of different methods and styles that you can try.     1    . However, some athletes prefer to perfect their sport and compete in their chosen sport. The sport of rollerblading has many forms and styles that allow competition.

Some types of rollerblading, including free skating and aggressive skating, have a heavy emphasis on tricks. Free skating is a type of rollerblading that is primarily about getting from start to finish as fast as possible.     2    .

Some inline skaters prefer to go the way of inline speed skating.     3    . Unlike free skating and aggressive skating inline speed skating does not involve tricks or obstacles. The competitions take place on roller skating rinks, or on outdoor rinks. Inline speed skating competitions include a variety of different events and formats that range from sprints to longer distance relay competitions. Many athletes who choose inline speed skating can also ice speed skate as the seasons change.

    4    . In this sport teams compete against each other for the puck, using sticks to pass and direct the puck into the goal. Roller hockey is played essentially the same way as ice hockey, but the equipment has been redesigned in order to adapt to the non-ice conditions.

Each of these sports requires different skills and is comprised of a different group of people.     5    . Whichever sport a beginning inline skater may choose if they want to develop their skills as a skater, hey will have fun mastering one of the excellent sports.

A．Inline speed skating is all about racing

B．Many people enjoy rollerblading just for the simple pleasure of exercise

C．In addition to emphasizing speed, free skating often includes different tricks

D．Free skating is set in an urban setting and participants must travel through streets

E．Roller hockey is of course another, yet completely different form of rollerblading

F．Those inline skaters can also try sports like inline figure skating and speed skating

G．Each sport requires skill, and experience, as well as having different equipment requirements
