阅读理解
For most people, keeping fit involves an established exercise routine built around a regular weekly schedule. But what if your job involves large amounts of travel?
Many people come back from trips carrying extra pounds from disruption to regular exercise, as well as an increased tendency to overindulge on business dinners paid for on the company card.
1.
ongoing
解析:(由第一小点后第一段“There’s a temptation to regard exercise as a means to looking good on vacation,rather than as an ongoing strategy for health and well-being”可知,把运动作为假期前瘦身的应急手段而不是为了健康和福祉的一个持续战略,这种想法很具有诱惑力。因此填ongoing,表示“进行中的”。)
2.
exercise regime
解析:(由第二小点后的第二段“a common trap during hectic business trips is failing to schedule and prioritize your adapted exercise regime before you leave”可知,在繁忙的商务旅行中,一个常见的陷阱是没有在出发之前安排和优先考虑你已经适应了的锻炼制度。因此填exercise regime,表示“运动管理体制;锻炼方法”。)
3.
skip ropes
解析:(由第三小点后第一段“Sometimes there simply won’t be an opportunity to access a gym.If so,there is an extensive range of portable exercise equipment,from simple skip ropes to more sophisticated gadgets–such as the magnetic tension mini-bike”可知,没有机会进入健身房的时候,还有一系列广泛的便携式运动器材,从简单的跳绳到更尖端的小玩意,如磁性张力的迷你自行车。因此填skip ropes,表示“跳绳”。)
4.
overindulge
解析:(由第四小点标题“Don’t overindulge in business dinners”可知,不要在商旅晚餐中胡吃海塞。因此填overindulge,表示“过分放任;过分纵情”。)
5.
fitness options
解析:(由文章最后一句“His hotel reflects a growing trend within the hospitality industry to provide high-quality,bespoke fitness options”可知,餐饮业越来越趋向于提供高级的、量身定做的健身选择。因此填fitness options。)
