题文
If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

解析
本文叙述了通过节食维持体重的人比经常运动的人更容易堆积内部脂肪，尽管他们看起来很苗条。由于瘦的人体重并未超标，医生们担心瘦的人可能会因为没有明确的预警信号而对自己的健康麻痹大意。专家很早就已经证实了爱运动的人比那些苗条但是不爱运动的人要健康。
小题1:这是细节理解题。根据Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes.并非有心脏病的人都有内部肥胖，故选A。
小题2:这是细节理解题。根据Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,锻炼在人的生活中起很重要的作用，故选B。
小题3:这是细节理解题。根据According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.即使人很苗条，但也不一定就不胖，故选C。
小题4:这是词义猜测题。根据如果你想要健康没有捷径，只有锻炼，故选C。
点评：阅读理解题中所设置的词义猜测类题多是对生词、短语、指示代词的猜测。一方面，命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是已学过的或是考生较熟悉的，但高考所考查的是不太常见的意思；另一方面命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是考生没有学过的。此时，对单词或短语的猜测不要停留在字面上,要根据语境来判断。
