高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解練習(xí)100篇 Vienna

閱讀試題

When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，"Why did she live to be 107?" Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city's image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(長(zhǎng)壽)of those interviewed. This factor is exercise.in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(電梯)，and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking.

On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.In fact，the opposite is often true.To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars.

參考譯文

在奧地利的維也納，最近當(dāng)一位名為Joseph Groeger的老婦人過(guò)世的時(shí)候，人們?nèi)滩蛔∫獑?wèn)：“為什么她可以活到107歲呢?”當(dāng)對(duì)148個(gè)100歲以上的維也納人進(jìn)行調(diào)查之后，我們得出了答案。有點(diǎn)讓人驚訝的是，這些人中的多數(shù)人都大部分的人生都是在都市生活的。盡管城市給我們的印象一直都是不利于健康的，但是城市生活往往提供一些鄉(xiāng)村缺乏的便利。其中有一個(gè)就是這些被調(diào)查者長(zhǎng)壽的重要因素。這個(gè)因素就是鍛煉。在城市，對(duì)于比較短的路程，往往走路比你等著坐公車去更快捷。就算去搭乘一些公共交通工具也經(jīng)常要走一段路程。較小的公寓一般沒有電梯，人們就不得不爬樓。城市人還經(jīng)常步行去附近的超市買東西。在停車位如此難找的情況下，往往沒有別的選擇只有步行。

另一方面，那些住在鄉(xiāng)村和郊區(qū)的人反而無(wú)需每天走路。事實(shí)上，他們每天都乘坐交通工具，去上學(xué)，去上班，或者去其他任何地方，都必須開車前往。
