【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【5】C

【解析】

本篇讲述了关于在日本的一项健康调查，该研究表明，乘公共汽车或火车通勤的人比步行或骑自行车的人更健康。那些乘坐公共汽车或火车的人被认为是最健康的，患病率最低。小。有些人甚至说，对医生来说，询问病人如何通勤可能是有用的。作者建议人们应该考虑乘坐公共交通工具而不是汽车，作为日常、定期锻炼的一部分。

【1】细节计算题，根据文中“…about nine thousand Japanese adults took part in a health test and two thirds of them provided information on their commute”可知有大约9000人参加测试，其中三分之二的人提供了信息，9000乘以三分之二等于6000。故选B。

【2】细节理解题，根据文中“The study shows those who commute by bus or train are healthier than those who walk or ride,”可知坐公交车最健康。故选D。

【3】推理判断题，根据“Those who took the bus or train were believed to be the fittest-they were the slimmest, had the best blood pressure and were the least likely to have diabetes”可判断CD错误。根据文中“What’s more, those who took public transport were 40 percent less likely to be diabetic and 26 percent less likely to be diabetic than the walkers.”可知坐公交车患糖尿病的可能性比步行者低26%。故选B。

【4】词义猜测题，根据“People should consider taking public transportation instead of a car, as a part of daily, regular exercise.”此处指日常的运动，描述运动应该是有规律的。故选C。

【5】主旨大意题，通读全文，并结合最后一句“People should consider taking public transportation instead of a car, as a part of daily, regular exercise.”可知作者建议大家多做公交车或者火车上班。故选C。

做细节理解题时要先划关键词，再根据关键词定位到文中的某一段即可做出题目。

例如第2题。根据关键词wanttobehealthier可知，定位至The study shows those who commute by bus or train are healthier than those who walk or ride“研究表明，坐公交或火车通勤的人比走路或骑车的人更健康”可知坐公交车最健康。故选D。
