(2026·嘉兴期末)Many people lose interest in exercising when winter comes, even if they are active in summer. If you feel this way, you're not alone. There is real science behind this winter laziness.
There are several key reasons why winter exercise is harder. First, seasonal affective disorder(SAD), a type of low mood(情绪) connected to shorter, darker days in winter, often makes people lose interest in going to the gym.
The UK's National Health Service also points out that less sunlight leads to low vitamin D levels for most people. Vitamin D is a must for healthy bones and muscles(肌肉), and studies show less vitamin D can slow down muscle growth and lead to poorer sports results.
Cold temperatures, along with wind and wetness, add to the difficulty: they make people feel exercise more tiring than usual. One study found that people who stood in the cold before cycling performed 30% worse than usual.
Besides, cold air makes your muscles tight(紧绷的), which makes you more likely to get hurt. Warming up your muscles before exercise can help, but it also uses more energy. What's more, after exercising in the cold, you will feel hungrier than you would have been if you'd exercised in warmer weather.
Luckily, there are easy ways to deal with this laziness in winter. BBC Sports suggests
thinking of sport as "me time": exercising with friends, wearing warm clothes, doing indoor sports instead of outdoor ones, and giving yourself a small reward(奖赏) when you exercise. Sticking to a certain exercise plan helps a lot. Even a short period of exercise during your lunch break can be helpful.

3. Which way is suggested by BBC Sports to deal with winter laziness?
A. Changing the daily exercise plan.
B. Keeping warm while doing exercise.
C. Getting into a habit of exercising alone.
D. Enjoying outdoor sports to get sunshine.
4. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Bye, Winter Laziness! Hi, Me time!
B. Be Brave and Active in Winter!
C. More Vitamin D, More Winter Energy!
D. No Worries! Winter Laziness is OK!

答案
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,解释了冬天人们锻炼积极性下降的科学原因,并提供了应对“冬季懒惰”的建议。
1. D 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段“after exercising in the cold, you will feel hungrier”可知,寒冷天气锻炼后会感觉更饿,而非更不饿。D项“人们在寒冷天气锻炼后感觉不那么饿。”与文章不符。故选D。
2. A 解析:图示理解题。根据第三段“Vitamin D is a must for healthy bones and muscles, and studies show less vitamin D can slow down muscle growth ...”可知,维生素D对健康的骨骼和肌肉是必需的,更少的维生素D会减慢肌肉生长。这表明维生素D水平直接影响肌肉生长速度,呈正相关关系,A项最符合这种正向促进关系。故选A。
3. B 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“BBC Sports suggests ... wearing warm clothes”可知,BBC Sports建议穿暖和的衣服。故选B。
4. A 解析:标题归纳题。全文解释了冬天锻炼困难的原因,并提供了应对建议,最后强调坚持锻炼计划的重要性。A项“再见,冬季懒惰!你好,自我时间!”既概括了应对冬季懒惰的主题,又呼应了文中“me time”的表述。故选A。

解析
【分析】要解决维生素D与肌肉生长的关系问题，需回到原文定位相关信息，明确两者的关联：根据原文第三段，维生素D是肌肉健康必需的物质，维生素D越少，肌肉生长越慢，说明二者呈正相关，即维生素D水平越高，肌肉生长越好，再对比四个图示的曲线变化，选出符合正相关的选项。
【解析】根据原文第三段“Vitamin D is a must for healthy bones and muscles, and studies show less vitamin D can slow down muscle growth”可知，维生素D与肌肉生长呈正相关：维生素D水平越高，肌肉生长越旺盛。观察四个选项的图示：A图中肌肉生长随维生素D水平升高而持续上升，符合正相关关系；B图肌肉生长随维生素D升高而下降，为负相关，不符合；C图肌肉生长先升后降，无正相关关系；D图肌肉生长先降后升，也不符合。因此选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】英语阅读理解、图示理解、细节查找
【点评】本题结合原文信息分析变量关系，需准确提取文本细节并对应图示，难度适中。
【难度系数】0.6
