Light exercises are a great way to improve circulation and keep our muscles active, especially if the rest of the day will be spent sitting in front of a computer or in a lecture hall. However, certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge. If we go into such sport cold, it can shock our muscles, hearts, lungs, and other organs and cause severe pain or in some cases, even death. Some people are born with medical conditions that go unnoticed until they stress the unstable part of their body. A weak heart may never be seen until we do something that causes extreme physical effort. Recently there have been cases of people dying while running long distances. Also, a university student died after taking a 1.000m running exam. Some universities and high schools have cut long distance races (i.e. 3.000m, 5,000m) from their campus sports games, partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events. Maybe education about such events is lacking, especially during primary and high school. People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise, especially for a marathon. People shouldn’t be forced to participate in events that push them past their limits, especially if they haven’t warmed-up completely. Cancelling events could lead to people becoming less healthy and overweight. Maybe these events shouldn’t be cancelled, but organizers and participants should be more careful about regular health checks. 4. Why does the author write the text? A. To give us some reminding on exercises. B. To persuade us to take less sports. C. To advise students to have regular exercises. D To require cancelling long distance running. 5. What does the underlined word “cold” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Having trained a lot. B. Without any preparation. C. Having a low temperature. D. In an unfriendly way. 6. Why do some universities and schools cancel long distance races? A. Because no students are willing to enter such events. B. Because the students’ physical conditions are too poor to finish them. C. Because long distance running is not fit for students. D. Because they worry about the supposed danger in such races. 7. What does the author advise us to do before running a marathon? A. Have a medical check and warm-up exercises. B. Push ourselves past our limits. C. Participate in it confidently. D. Try to lose some weight first. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了体育锻炼对人的好处人人皆知，但并不是所有的体育运动都有益于健康，只有恰当的体育锻炼才有益于健康，不恰当的体育锻炼不但对健康无益，而且还会危害人们的健康，甚至危及人们的生命。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Nobody needs reminding that exercise is good for our health, but we may need reminding that it needs to be done in the right way” 没有人需要提醒运动对我们的健康有好处，但我们可能需要提醒，它需要以正确的方式进行。故作者写这篇文章的目的是给人们一些关于体育锻炼的提示。结合选项，故选A。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“However, certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge.” 然而，某些运动，如长跑，需要训练来增强我们的身体，使他们能够应付挑战。由此可知，如果我们不事先进行训练就很与可能陷入“运动寒冷”，故划线词cold的词义应是“没有任何准备的情况”。结合选项，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events.” 部分原因是他们认为存在危险，另一部分原因是他们说参加此类比赛的人越来越少。故一些大学和学校取消长跑比赛的原因是他们担心在这种比赛中可能出现的危险。结合选项，故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise, especially for a marathon.” 参加这类比赛的人应该意识到，事先需要合理的训练量，进行体检是明智的，尤其是马拉松比赛。故作者建议参加马拉松比赛的人应该体检以及做一些热身运动。结合选项，故选A。 C The first animal Tracey Parsons rescued was a baby bird she found jumping in and out of the road. It had lost its mother. Parsons was seven. She kept it in her bedroom, where it flew around the room. She went to the library to learn how to feed it. The bird started following her around. In the morning it would fly up to her bed and sing beautiful songs. “I’ll never forget it,” she says. Parsons, who is now 35 and runs a clothes shop in Blackheath, London, doesn’t know how many animals she’s saved since then. Thousands, she estimates. “I like animals,” she says, “because they’re pure and reflect the beauty of nature. And they don’t have their own voices, so someone has to be their voice.” Any time an injured bird or animal is found in the area, odds are it will find its way to Parsons’ home. People bring them to her front door all the time. Around Blackheath, people know Parsons as “the bird lady”. The local farmers’ market donates scraps (剩饭) for her to feed the ducklings. She spends thousands of pounds a year on feed and medication. Once the animals are rehabilitated (康复), Parsons releases them into the wild or takes them to wildlife sanctuaries (保护区) if they’re not able to live independently. “I’ve known Tracey for more than 10 years,” says her friend Diane Blackwell. “She paddles (划船) into freezing pond water to rescue ducklings. She’s rushed to my place to rescue a badly injured fox at 10 pm. She doesn’t have an off switch for her rescue work.” When asked which animals stand out in her three-decade-long career as a wildlife rehabber, Parsons tells a seemingly unbelievable story. One day in 2019, Parsons was at her shop. When she opened the curtain she saw an injured fox. It ran away, but returned the next day, and every day after that. He’d jump in her lap, and follow her around. People think foxes are aggressive (富于攻击性的), but that’s not true, she says. “They’re adorable, loving creatures.” 8. What can we learn about Parsons’ rescue attempt at age seven? A. She found it challenging and dangerous. B. She found a dying duckling outside her room. C. She regarded it as a memorable experience. D. She brought a baby bird to a wildlife sanctuary. 9. What do Parsons’ words in paragraph 2 show? A. She wants to protect animals. B. Animals can recognize human voices. C. Every animal has its own unique voice. D. She thinks wild animals may threaten humans. 10. What does Blackwell say about Parsons? A. She has devoted herself to saving animals. B. She is supported by local people. C. She feels tired from her work. D. She cares little about her friends. 11. What made the fox unique in Parsons’ animal rescue career? A. It was badly injured. B. It was a rare species. C. It was friendly to her. D. It was found in her shop. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了Tracey Parsons长期致力于救助野生动物的事迹。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the morning it would fly up to her bed and sing beautiful songs. “I’ll never forget it,” she says.(早上，它会飞到她的床上，唱着美丽的歌曲。“我永远不会忘记，”她说)”可知，第一段描述了Parsons在七岁时救援了一只鸟，她觉得这次经历很难忘。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I like animals,” she says, “because they’re pure and reflect the beauty of nature. And they don’t have their own voices, so someone has to be their voice.”(“我喜欢动物，”她说，“因为它们很纯洁，反映了大自然的美。它们不能说出自己的心声，所以必须有人为它们发声。”)”可知，Parsons喜欢动物，想要为它们发声，保护它们。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“She paddles (划船) into freezing pond water to rescue ducklings. She’s rushed to my place to rescue a badly injured fox at 10 pm. She doesn’t have an off switch for her rescue work.(她划到冰冷的池塘水里去救小鸭子。她在晚上10点赶到我家去救一只严重受伤的狐狸。她的救援工作没有关闭开关)”可知，Blackwell的话中可以知道，Parsons一直致力于救助动物。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“One day in 2019, Parsons was at her shop. When she opened the curtain she saw an injured fox. It ran away, but returned the next day, and every day after that. He’d jump in her lap, and follow her around. People think foxes are aggressive (富于攻击性的), but that’s not true, she says. “They’re adorable, loving creatures.”(2019年的一天，帕森斯在她的店里。当她打开窗帘时，她看到一只受伤的狐狸。它跑了，但第二天又回来了，从那以后的每一天。他会跳到她的腿上，跟着她到处跑。她说，人们认为狐狸很有攻击性，但事实并非如此。“它们是可爱的、的生物。”)”可知，大家都认为狐狸有攻击性，而Parsons救援的这只狐狸对她十分友好。故选C。 D A girl had to usually face adversity(逆境). One day, she couldn't help complaining to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She didn’t know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them into the water and boil, without saying a word. The daughter waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He made the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked, “What do you see?” “Carrots, eggs and coffee,” she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma(香味). She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?” He explained that each of them had faced the same hardship, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot had been strong and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been easily broken. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after going through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” How about you, my friend? Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity you move back and become soft and lose your strength? Are you the egg, which starts off with a flexible heart? Were you a liquid spirit, but after a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you. Ask yourself how you handle adversity. Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? 12. The father took his daughter to the kitchen in order to ____________. A. introduce her to a new kind of coffee B. help her solve the problems she met C. tell her how to deal with hardship D. tell her what real life should be like 13. According to the passage, it is most likely that the father is ____________. A. strict B. patient C. humorous D. proud 14. The father used the boiled water to stand for _____________. A. her daughter B. their life C. their family D. the hardship 15. From the passage, we can infer that ________________. A. people like carrots are easy to be defeated B. people like eggs must have a willing heart C. the carrot must be far harder than the egg D. the egg should be stronger than the carrot 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。一个女孩通常不得不面对逆境。有一天，她忍不住向父亲抱怨她的生活，抱怨生活对她来说是多么艰难。父亲是一名厨师，用特殊方式教她如何面对逆境，变得坚强。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“He explained that each of them had faced the same hardship, boiling water, but each reacted differently.”（他解释说，它们都面临着同样的困难，煮沸的水，但它们的反应不同）以及 “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”（ 哪一个是你呢?他问女儿。“当逆境找上门来时，你该如何应对?”你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋还是咖啡豆）可知，父亲带女儿去厨房，告诉她如何面对困难。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them into the water and boil, without saying a word.”（她父亲是一名厨师，他把她带到厨房。他把三个罐子装满水，放在大火上烤。很快锅里的水就沸腾了。他在一个罐子里放了胡萝卜，在第二个罐子里放了鸡蛋，在最后一个罐子里放了磨碎的咖啡豆。他把它们放进水里煮，一句话也没说）可知，作者的父亲很有耐心。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“But after going through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.”（但经过沸水后，它的内部变得坚硬）可知，父亲用开水来象征忍受困难。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The carrot had been strong and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.”（胡萝卜又强又硬。但在受到沸水的作用后，它变软变弱）可知，从文章中，我们可以推断，像胡萝卜一样的人很容易被打败。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Go green Are you worried about our earth?

Here are some of them.(看起来似乎一个人的行动不会带来改变，但实际上有很多方法可以帮助你。以下是其中一些)”可知，上文提到尽自己所能拯救地球，后文则提到个人行动不会带来改变，可知本句为过渡句，指出要知道从哪里开始拯救地球不容易。故C选项“很难知道从哪里开始”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Turn off anything that uses electricity when not in use.(电器设备不使用的时候把电源关掉)”以及后文“If you leave your television on or don't turn off lights, it's wasting electricity.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear!

Light exercises are a great way to improve circulation and keep our muscles active, especially if the rest of the day will be spent sitting in front of a computer or in a lecture hall. However, certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge. If we go into such sport cold, it can shock our muscles, hearts, lungs, and other organs and cause severe pain or in some cases, even death. Some people are born with medical conditions that go unnoticed until they stress the unstable part of their body. A weak heart may never be seen until we do something that causes extreme physical effort. Recently there have been cases of people dying while running long distances. Also, a university student died after taking a 1.000m running exam. Some universities and high schools have cut long distance races (i.e. 3.000m, 5,000m) from their campus sports games, partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events. Maybe education about such events is lacking, especially during primary and high school. People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise, especially for a marathon. People shouldn’t be forced to participate in events that push them past their limits, especially if they haven’t warmed-up completely. Cancelling events could lead to people becoming less healthy and overweight. Maybe these events shouldn’t be cancelled, but organizers and participants should be more careful about regular health checks. 4. Why does the author write the text? A. To give us some reminding on exercises. B. To persuade us to take less sports. C. To advise students to have regular exercises. D To require cancelling long distance running. 5. What does the underlined word “cold” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Having trained a lot. B. Without any preparation. C. Having a low temperature. D. In an unfriendly way. 6. Why do some universities and schools cancel long distance races? A. Because no students are willing to enter such events. B. Because the students’ physical conditions are too poor to finish them. C. Because long distance running is not fit for students. D. Because they worry about the supposed danger in such races. 7. What does the author advise us to do before running a marathon? A. Have a medical check and warm-up exercises. B. Push ourselves past our limits. C. Participate in it confidently. D. Try to lose some weight first. C The first animal Tracey Parsons rescued was a baby bird she found jumping in and out of the road. It had lost its mother. Parsons was seven. She kept it in her bedroom, where it flew around the room. She went to the library to learn how to feed it. The bird started following her around. In the morning it would fly up to her bed and sing beautiful songs. “I’ll never forget it,” she says. Parsons, who is now 35 and runs a clothes shop in Blackheath, London, doesn’t know how many animals she’s saved since then. Thousands, she estimates. “I like animals,” she says, “because they’re pure and reflect the beauty of nature. And they don’t have their own voices, so someone has to be their voice.” Any time an injured bird or animal is found in the area, odds are it will find its way to Parsons’ home. People bring them to her front door all the time. Around Blackheath, people know Parsons as “the bird lady”. The local farmers’ market donates scraps (剩饭) for her to feed the ducklings. She spends thousands of pounds a year on feed and medication. Once the animals are rehabilitated (康复), Parsons releases them into the wild or takes them to wildlife sanctuaries (保护区) if they’re not able to live independently. “I’ve known Tracey for more than 10 years,” says her friend Diane Blackwell. “She paddles (划船) into freezing pond water to rescue ducklings. She’s rushed to my place to rescue a badly injured fox at 10 pm. She doesn’t have an off switch for her rescue work.” When asked which animals stand out in her three-decade-long career as a wildlife rehabber, Parsons tells a seemingly unbelievable story. One day in 2019, Parsons was at her shop. When she opened the curtain she saw an injured fox. It ran away, but returned the next day, and every day after that. He’d jump in her lap, and follow her around. People think foxes are aggressive (富于攻击性的), but that’s not true, she says. “They’re adorable, loving creatures.” 8. What can we learn about Parsons’ rescue attempt at age seven? A. She found it challenging and dangerous. B. She found a dying duckling outside her room. C. She regarded it as a memorable experience. D. She brought a baby bird to a wildlife sanctuary. 9. What do Parsons’ words in paragraph 2 show? A. She wants to protect animals. B. Animals can recognize human voices. C. Every animal has its own unique voice. D. She thinks wild animals may threaten humans. 10. What does Blackwell say about Parsons? A. She has devoted herself to saving animals. B. She is supported by local people. C. She feels tired from her work. D. She cares little about her friends. 11. What made the fox unique in Parsons’ animal rescue career? A. It was badly injured. B. It was a rare species. C. It was friendly to her. D. It was found in her shop. D A girl had to usually face adversity(逆境). One day, she couldn't help complaining to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She didn’t know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them into the water and boil, without saying a word. The daughter waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He made the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked, “What do you see?” “Carrots, eggs and coffee,” she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma(香味). She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?” He explained that each of them had faced the same hardship, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot had been strong and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been easily broken. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after going through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” How about you, my friend? Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity you move back and become soft and lose your strength? Are you the egg, which starts off with a flexible heart? Were you a liquid spirit, but after a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you. Ask yourself how you handle adversity. Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? 12. The father took his daughter to the kitchen in order to ____________. A. introduce her to a new kind of coffee B. help her solve the problems she met C. tell her how to deal with hardship D. tell her what real life should be like 13.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意：1.续写词数应150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
