《2025年一本预备新高一英语》

With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our “to do” list. 1. G The answer is “yes”, but it’s easier than you think—no matter who you are, or when you like to work out.
2. C Many of us have more free time in the morning compared to later in the day, and it may therefore be easier for us to stick to a morning workout routine. A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants’ who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢) too.
So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. 3. F Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is quickest, and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, which reduce your chance of injury while improving performance.
But does any of this change depend on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different. A 2022 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. 4. E Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day.
So what time is best? 5. D
A. So does your amount of exercise count?
B. Want to lose weight and be more charming?
C. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning.
D. It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you!
E. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman?
F. For example, your body’s ability to perform peaks in the afternoon.
G. So could exercising at certain times help maximize our fitness goals?

答案： 1. G 上文“With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list.”提到了锻炼的问题，下文“The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think—no matter who you are, or when you like to work out.”是对有关锻炼问题的一个回答，G项中 exercising 是关键词与上文呼应，所以 G 项能承上启下，符合语境。
2. C 根据下文“...participants, who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better...”提到了晨练的好处，C 项中 exercising in the morning 是关键词，与下文呼应，所以 C 选项能概括下文内容。
3. F 上文“Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones”提到了下午或晚上锻炼，F 项中 in the afternoon 是关键词，与上文呼应，所以 F 项能承接上文。
4. E 下文“Exercise in the morning”提到了早晨锻炼，又根据下文“Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you.”提到了晚上锻炼可知，此处上下文是表对比的关系，所以 E 项能与下文构成对比关系。
5. D 根据上文“So what time is best?”可知，D 项是对上文的回答，符合语境。
