In recent years weve been told to aim to walk 10,000 steps a day to remain healthy, although some other advice that we do three brief 10-minute walks a day is thought to be even more effective. But the lat

7、est piece of research might put a spring in your step if youre someone who walks at a slow pace. Thats because, according to scientists, the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing.The BBCs Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,

8、000 people from New Zealand born in the 1970s found that slower walkers tended to show signs of “accelerated ageing”: their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster. And to add insult to injury, the study found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quick

9、ly, but also their faces looked older and they had smaller brains. Professor Terrie E. Moffitt, lead author of the study, told the BBC, “It found that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age”.This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace who might feel its time to w

10、ork out and get fitter. But it might be too late;researchers writing in JAMA Network Open say they are able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor skill tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there

11、are signs showing which people will go on to have a healthier life.So, whats the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Well, researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow

17、 strategy is actually pretty misguided. “This idea of a calorie in and a calorie out when it comes to weight loss is not only outdated, but its just wrong,” says Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School. The truth is that even careful calorie calculations dont always

Trillions of organisms live in your gut, and the important types may influence how many calories your body absorbs from food. This

19、 may occur because some types of organisms are able to break down and use more calories from certain foods than other types of organisms. Researchers have found that people who are naturally thin have different types of organisms living inside them than those who are overweight.“Your metabolism(新陈代谢

23、 lots of fruit and vegetables in their natural form.Exercise regularly. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week.

A1.A推理判断题。根据画线部分的下一句“Thats because, according to scientists, the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as

31、well as their bodies, are ageing.”可知,步速可以作为衰老程度的标志,由此推测,如果你走得慢,那就要加快一下你的步伐了。故选A。2.D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“slower walkers tended to show signs of accelerated ageing”和“a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age”可知,走路缓慢或许在人变老前几十年就可以被用来预测衰老问题。故选D。3.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This might help us make lifestyle chan

32、ges.Taking steps to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no-brainer!”可以推测,C项“我们一定会努力找到让我们的健康状态持续更久的方法”符合文意。故选C。4.A主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了科学家的最新研究,研究表明人们在40多岁时走路缓慢可能是他们的大脑和身体加速衰老的征兆。故选A。B5.A推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“But as it turns out, experts are learning that this decades-old strategy is actually pretty

33、misguided.”可以推测,旧的理论实际上误导了我们。故选A。6.A细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Three factors affect how your body processes calories.”及下面列举的三个因素“Your gut microbiome.”“Your metabolism.”和“The type of food you eat.”再结合四个选项可知,燃烧卡路里受你选择的食物种类的影响。故选A。7.C词义猜测题。由画线词所在句中的“If counting calories isnt a dependable way to manage your weight”可以推测,shed是“去除”的意思。故选C。8.D推理判断题。由文章第六段中的“Dr. Stanford recommends the following.”和最后三段的首句“Focus on diet quality.”“Exercise regularly.”和“Consult a professional.”可以推测,文章暗示健康的生活方式是减肥的关键。故选D。8学科网（北京）股份有限公司
