There have always been a lot of commonly believed but exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths：
false ideas about being fat and doing weight as they get older, while others
I‘ll never lose weight一I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are bom with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they
share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people，they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thafs fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk，take a different route. If you do yoga，try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.

                                    D
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire~crackling, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again一the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交错）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹)look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually，the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck； there was a soft part，free of wrinkles and hairs，behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett，although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts (出没处），a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty； tracking them can make you aware of something more.

48.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A.The elephant stopped.
B.A spotted deer called.
C.The elephant seized a branch.
D.The forest was silent for a while.
49.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by     .
A.describing various sounds
B.comparing different animals
C.listing different activities
D.introducing various plants
50.What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?
A.To see the diversity.
B.To enjoy the scenery.
C.To feel the atmosphere.
D.To experience the freedom.
51.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.

【文章大意】本文叙述了作者来到corbett野生公园里追踪老虎，感受森林氛围的过程。
48.B 推理题。根据文章第一段第2行：had heard the distant alarm calls of animals。可知我们听见了警告声。在第一段最后一句：the elephant stopped and we heart it again-the tell-tale call of a spotted deer，可知这里的a spotted deer就是第二行中提到的alarm calls。故B正确。
49.A  推理题。根据第一段3,4行we sound like s forest fire-cracking, snapping, trailblazing等，这些都是描述森林里不同的声音，这正是文章里作者对于自己第四次旅行的叙述。故A正确。
50.C 推理题。根据本句可知作者已经是第四次来到corbett来感受森林，他不是来看风景的，也不是来看多种多样的动物（他可以去动物园），他是来体验森林里的氛围的。正是对森林里的这种很独特的氛围才让他一次次地来到这里。故C正确。
51.D  推理题。根据文章最后一句After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more可知作者认为来到这里看到老虎只会让你确认老虎是美丽的，但是追踪老虎会让感受到更多的东西。也就是让我更能够感受森林的氛围。故D正确。
【长难句解析】
Located at the foot of the Himalayan, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts.
【翻译】位于喜马拉雅山山脚下，Corbett是135只老虎的栖息地，但是这片森林似乎正保护着它们的出没处。
【分析】本句中的形容词短语Located at the foot of the Himalayan是对后面句子主语Corbett的说明限制，located是由动词locate转换而来的形容词。另外句中的固定搭配be home to….是….的栖息地。其中的home前面不接任何冠词，单独使用。
