Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Put your car keys away and forget about your travel pass — it's time to do a bit of walking.
National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets, an organization that campaigns for the rights and the needs of pedestrians — indeed, the organization was previously known as the Pedestrians' Association. The association's aim is to make streets safe, attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people (rather than vehicles) first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.
The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues（優(yōu)點(diǎn)）of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles（車(chē)輛）; the joy of local discoveries seeing more of your local area on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking—walking can clear your head.
Walk to School Week, 19 to 24 May, is part of the month's activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.
Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 12 to 16 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, rather than having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!

【解析】本文是一篇依賴(lài)你問(wèn)，圍繞Living Street組織的國(guó)際步行月這一活動(dòng)展開(kāi)，論述了步行的好處。

⑴考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”The association's aim is to make streets safe, attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play.“可知，這個(gè)協(xié)會(huì)的目的就是讓街道安全，有吸引力以及給人們生活、工作、購(gòu)物和玩耍提供一個(gè)愉悅的空間。故選C。

⑵考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”benefits of（利益）”、“advantages（優(yōu)點(diǎn)）“等詞可以看出這一段是在介紹步行的好處。故選D。

⑶考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.“這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)開(kāi)始于1995年，當(dāng)時(shí)只有5個(gè)學(xué)校參加，現(xiàn)在二十年之后，超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)兒童參加，可知，這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)展非常迅速，故選C。

⑷考查主旨大意。文章總體是說(shuō)步行運(yùn)動(dòng)的各方面包括各人群的響應(yīng)，文章前面幾段寫(xiě)了社區(qū)參與方面，又寫(xiě)了步行上學(xué)周，最后一段在寫(xiě)步行上班周，故文章主要內(nèi)容是講全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)的健康運(yùn)動(dòng)——步行。故選B。
