一、高中英语任务型阅读

1．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are

careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving.

________I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals

and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a

person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that

every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are

outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.

For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—________—there are such

separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that

you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much

good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.

Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, ________,

because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical

relaxation. ________Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the

systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that

as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back

to forms of activity—________—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.

wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring

broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and

badly judged.

The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus

full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of

art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.

Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a

misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters

are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy

Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or

independent contractors.

A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community.

In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a

poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began

producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education
