Question

Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.

There’s a lot of stress (壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

1.Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?

Answer 1

【答案】

1.D

2.B

3.C

【解析】

試題分析：

1.D 推理題。根據文章第四段Two months ago I had a heart attack.說明因為工作的關系他現(xiàn)在的身體出了問題，患上了心臟病。故問題出在了健康方面，故D正確。

2.B 推理題。根據第二段第2行The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer.說明得到好的工作以后，他的工作時間也會變長，故B的說法是錯誤的。故B符合題意。

3.C 細節(jié)題。根據第四段2,3行The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.說明C正確。

考點：考查健康類短文閱讀

點評：文章介紹了作者原來的工作很輕松有很多的時間去鍛煉身體，后來換了工作，壓力變大，工作時間變長，健康方面出了問題。以推理題的考查為主，解推斷題最主要的方法是根據詞義關系推斷具體細節(jié)。
