Fifty years ago, most people’s daily levels of activity were equivalent to walking three to five miles a day. Today, the【C1】______ person fails to【C2】______that distance in a week. It’s【C3】______ the ratio of fatness has soared— with serious implications for health.
What we have【C4】______in convenience from labour-saving devices over the past half-century, we have paid for【C5】______a sharp decline in physical activity. We use cars, buses or trains to【C6】______ work: our children are【C7】______to school: elevators and lifts have replaced【C8】______stairs in shopping centres, offices and apartment blocks. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and electric mowers all reduce the effort required to【C9】______a clean and tidy home. Almost one third of adults【C10】______over ten hours sitting down every day, adding【C11】______a staggering average of 32 years and four months over a lifetime.【C12】______ surprising, then, that researchers【C13】______this lifestyle for our weight gain.
Of course, our diets have changed, too,【C14】______the fact is that we consume fewer calories now than in the 1960s. So what is the【C15】______? The secret is integrated exercise. This【C16】______going about your normal daily life—but doing it with enthusiasm. It might mean standing to【C17】______the phone and tapping your feet on the floor as you work. It means never taking the car when you could walk: it means standing on short train and bus【C18】______, or walking at a pace【C19】______ you feel you might break into a run if you were to go any【C20】______. [br] 【C10】
选项
A、cost
B、pay
C、take
D、spend
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:大约三分之一的成年人每天坐着的时间要超过十多个小时……。pay和spend的主语虽然都是人,但用法不同。pay的句子结构为sb.pays…for sth.;spend的句子结构为sb.spends…(in)doing sth.,表示某人花费时间或金钱做某事,根据原文中句子结构可知,[D]spend为答案。cost表示“花费”的意思时,主语是物;take主语应为it,句子结构通常为it takes sb.to do sth.,故排除[A]和[C]。
