九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
When we exercise hard, we burn fat. But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and released in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that the fat fairy comes and takes it. That is why you always weigh less in the morning.
Now a new study from the University of New South Wales in Australia reveals the mystery. “the correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). It goes into thin air,” says the study’s lead author, Ruben Meerman, to Science Daily. Scientists followed the atoms(原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as carbon dioxide through the lungs. The rest of the weight —1.6 kilograms— becomes water that leaves the body in the form of fluids(液体) such as urine(尿), sweat, breath and tears. “None of this is obvious to people because we can’t see the carbon dioxide gas we breathe out,” said Meerman.
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think. Breathing more than the body’s metabolic rate(新陈代谢) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy and become unconscious(无意识的), according the study. So how to lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You many have heard this many times.
During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of carbon dioxide. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, jogging. This can help lose 240g of carbon dioxide.
1.According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot?
A.It is changed into heat and given off in the air. B.The body burns it.
C.The fat fairy comes and takes it. D.Most of it is breathed out as carbon dioxide.
2.What will happen to people if they breathe more than the body’s metabolic rate?
A.They will put on more weight. B.They will feel comfortable.
C.They may become unconscious. D.They may not lose weight at all.
3.Which of the following is a better way to lose weight?
A.Sitting still and breathing more. B.Sleeping a lot and breathing a lot.
C.Eating less and exercising more. D.Eating more and doing some light exercise.
4.Which is true according to the study from University of New South Wales?
A.The fat is changed into heat and released in the air.
B.Most of the kilograms of fat as they are lost are breathed out as carbon dioxide.
C.People can see the carbon dioxide gas we breathe out.
D.If we breathe more than the body’s metabolic rate, we will feel good.
5.During a week , how much carbon dioxide does a 70kg person breathes out?
A.240g B.200g C.1400g D.1680g

So, have you ever stepped back and wondered what your voice sounds like to other people? Your friends and family can probably tell who you are just by the sound of your voice. And it turns out that it says a lot about us.
• Your voice tells how social you are
1.. Outgoing people prefer to talk loudly, quickly, and excitedly. Introverts (内向的人) prefer to speak quietly and more slowly. So, if you’re that loud person at a party, you’ll probably find that all eyes are on you. However, introverts won’t possibly be at that party at all.
• Your voice says something about your height
This may sound strange, but if people close their eyes and hear you speak, they can probably tell if you’re tall or short. 2., while shorter people are considered to have a higher voice. This is true for both men and women.
• 3.
If you’ve noticed a lot of changes in a person’s voice—the speed at which they talk, the tone and pitch of their (语气和音调) voice, or whether their voice has become quieter-they may have Parkinson’s disease. These changes can happen in die voice because of the tremors (震颤) that a patient would be experiencing.
• Your voice can tell how successful you are
Successful people’s voices tend to be of a lower, warmer tone. Their words come out calmly without showing too many emotions, and their vocal cords (声带) won’t be tight. 4., but not so loudly that they’re unpleasant to listen to.
A.Taller people usually have a deeper voice
B.Your voice can tell others about your health
C.They’ll speak loudly enough to make themselves heard
D.A confident person will have a smooth and steady (稳定的) tone
E.People can tell whether you’re outgoing or introverted
