介绍了一位英国老人丹尼尔格林的心跳速率为每分钟26次，打破了世界最慢心跳的纪录，让医生们为之震惊。
格林先生把自己拥有如此低的心跳速率归功于每天的锻炼。
【答案精析】1．B 考查形容词的比较级辨析。
highe r“更高的”；lower“更低的”；faster“更快的”；smaller“更小的”。
前文提到他的心跳是“26 beats per minute”，通过与后文的对比“the world's top players at rest, 35 bpm and 33 bpm”，可知，他的心跳速率更低，故选B。
2．C 考查名词辨析。

此处是指Martin Brady是吉尼斯纪录的保持者，故选C。
3．C 考查名词辨析。
pressure“压力”；brain“大脑”；heartbeat“心跳”；breath“呼吸”。

结合上下文语境可知，格林先生做检查的结果是医生告诉他的，故选D。
5．D 考查动词辨析。
cleaned“打扫”；cleared “清理，清除”；cheered“欢呼，振奋”； che cked“检查”。

6．A 考查动名词辨析。
depend“依靠，取决于”；live“居住，生活”；work“工作，从事”；look“看”。
depend可与后文on搭配，表示取决于，结合语境可知此处表示正常的心率范围每分钟是60到100次，取决于从事的不同活动。
故选A。
7．A 考查名词辨析。
exercise“锻炼”；rest“休息”；sleep“睡眠”；news“新闻”。
由后文说他每天从事各种运动可知此处表示，格林先生完美的健康状况来源于日常锻炼，故选A。
8．B 考查名词辨析。

结合上下文语境可知当医生告诉他时，他不敢相信这件事。
故选C。
10．C 考查动词辨析。
said“说”，后接说话的内容；talked “交谈”；told “告诉”；spoke“说话”，后接说的某种语言。
此处是指医生告诉“我”心率的这件事，故tell 符合语境，故选C。

由上下文医生告诉他心率可知这是仔细检查的结果，故选A。

由后文他说自己仍然很健康，可知他认为这没有什么好担心的，故选C。
14．A 考查名词辨析。

由后文“as an elephant”可知此处应选A。
15．D 考查形容词辨析。
