20.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?Eight hours in the office and three hours in front of the TV after work is the normal condition for many people.
You  probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health,but the following fact can tell you more.
A study showed the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992and 2006.The death rate(比率)for men who spentsix hours or more per day sitting was about 20 percent higherthan formen who sat for three hours or less.The death rate for women who sat for more than six hours a day was about 40percent higher ①.
In other words,②.
So what can we do about it?Health experts suggest we spend more hours standing instead of sitting.The BBC and the University of Chester in  the UK did a simple experiment with a small group of 10volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.The researchers took records on days when the volunteers stood,and when they sat around.As a result,there were some great differences,the BBC reported on Oct 16.
The researchers believe that even small movements,like standing while talking on the phone,going over to talk to a workmate rather than sending an e-mail,or simply taking the stairs instead of lift,will help.
61、从A.C中为①②处选出恰当的选项使文章通顺、连贯、合理.
A.you can sit while you're standing for long
B.sitting is killing us
C.than the death rate for women who sat for three hours or less
①C    ②B
62、In the passage,what do the"great differences"refer to in English?While standing for three hours a day,the volunteers are in better health.
63、If possible,will you stand or sit while calling according to the passage?
Stand while calling.
64、请将划线的句子翻译成汉语.每天有6个小时或更长时间坐着的男性,其死亡率比每天只有3个小时或更少时间坐着的男性高出20%.
65、Choose a proper title to the passage.D
A.You can Never Sit       B.Always Stand
C.A Survey on Standing    D.Stand More or Sit More.

分析 你每天花多少时间坐在椅子上?对很多人来说在办公室里八个小时加上下班后在电视前的三个小时是正常状态.
    你可能不需要一个专家来告诉你,坐得太久对你的健康不好,但下面的事实可以告诉你更多.
    一项研究表明了12.3万美国人在1992-2006年的健康状况.每天有6个小时或更长时间坐着的男性,其死亡率比每天只有3个小时或更少时间坐着的男性高出20%.每天有超过6个小时坐着的女性,其死亡率比每天只有3个小时或更少时间坐着的女性高出40%.
    换句话说,坐着正杀害我们.
    所以,我们能做什么呢?健康专家建议我们花更多的时间站着而不是坐着,英国广播公司和英国切斯特大学做了一个简单的实验,他们找来10名经常在一天当中大部分时间坐着的志愿者.他们被要求一天站至少三个小时.研究人员分别记录下他们每天站着和坐着的一些数据,这些数据呈现显著差异.英国广播公司在10月16日报道.
研究人员相信,即使是小的动作,像站着接电话,走着去和同事交谈而不是发送电子邮件,或者干脆走楼梯代替电梯,都将有帮助.

解答 61.C ①根据这里的比较级higher可知后面应该用有比较连词的选项,故选C.  ②根据第三段的研究数据可知坐的时间长的人等于慢性自杀,故选B.
62. 根据上文sitting too much is not good for your health 坐得时间长了对身体不好.这里是志愿者来做实验,来证明这个观点;还要注意和上文调查中的数据相呼应,三个小时是临界点,故用While standing for three hours a day,the volunteers are in better health.
63.根据最后一段…like standing while talking on the phone,…will help.可知打电话的时候最好站着,故用Stand while calling.
64.注意句型sb spend+some time (in)+doing sth做某事花费某人多长时间;这个句子还要注意翻译出由who引导的两个定语从句,修饰其先行词men.故翻译为:每天有6个小时或更长时间坐着的男性,其死亡率比每天只有3个小时或更少时间坐着的男性高出20%.
65.D 标题归纳题.根据短文的内容可知根据研究发现站着要比坐着对身体有好处,也就是站着比坐着好,整篇文章都是在讨论站着多点好还是坐着多点好的问题.故选D,其他答案都太绝对或片面.

点评 本文是一篇科普文,介绍了久坐对身体的坏处.题目涉及多种题型,全方位考查学生对文章的理解程度.做题时一定要联系上下文,找到与题目有关的句子,得出答案.对于本题出现的翻译句子,要把句子里的主要句式和句型翻译到位,并要符合汉语的表达习惯.
