问题     Fifty years ago, most people’s daily levels of activity were equivalent to walking three to five miles a day. Today, the【C1】______person fails to 【C2】______ that distance in a week. It’s 【C3】______the ratio of fatness has soared—with serious implications for health.
    What we have【C4】______ in convenience from labour-saving devices over the past half-century, we have paid for【C5】______ a sharp decline in physical activity. We use cars, buses or trains to【C6】______ work; our children are 【C7】______ to school; elevators and lifts have replaced【C8】______stairs in shopping centres, offices and apartment blocks. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and electric mowers all reduce the effort required to【C9】______a clean and tidy home. Almost one third of adults 【C10】______ over ten hours sitting down every day,adding【C11】______a staggering average of 32 years and four months over a lifetime. 【C12】______ surprising, then, that researchers 【C13】______this lifestyle for our weight gain.
    Of course, our diets have changed, too, 【C14】______the fact is that we consume fewer calories now than in the 1960s. So what is the 【C15】______? The secret is integrated exercise. This【C16】______going about your normal daily life—but doing it with enthusiasm. It might mean standing to【C17】______the phone and tapping your feet on the floor as you work. It means never taking the car when you could walk; it means standing on short train and bus【C18】______, or walking at a pace【C19】______you feel you might break into a run if you were to go any【C20】______.
【C3】
选项 A、no doubt
B、no wonder
C、no longer
D、no matter
答案B
解析 固定搭配题。[B]no wonder表示“不足为奇”，由于前文谈到人们每天的运动量不如从前，这是致使人们肥胖率升高的原因，因此作者认为肥胖率升高也就不足为奇了。故选[B]。[A]no doubt表示“无疑地”；[C]no longer表示“不再……”；[D]no matter表示“无论……”，均可以排除。
