You may still want a kind of exercise that’s inexpensive and easy to do. Why not try walking? Walking is something that almost any normal, healthy person can do. It requires no special equipment. Walking can give you many of the same benefits as jogging or running; it will just take longer. Jogging and running make your heart and lungs work harder than walking. They also put more stress on your legs and feet than walking does. The problem with walking as a kind of exercise is that most people don’t take it seriously. But there’s a big difference between serious walking and the kind of walking that most of us do. Walking, like jogging, should have a steady and continuous motion. If you’re going to get your exercise by walking, you need to have your own walking program. After all, runners and joggers set goals for themselves. Walkers need goals, too. Set a definite course to walk. Start by walking about 15-30 minutes a day. Build up your time and distance slowly. Try increasing your walking speed little by little. If you prefer to jog or run, follow the same advice. Start off slowly. Spend most of the first few days just walking. Then, start walking and running on the same day. Run or jog a short distance, then walk for a while, then run, then walk. Follow that pattern for 15-30 minutes a day. Slowly make each run longer and each walk shorter. Later on, you can increase your distance, speed, and exercise time. 4. Which of these statements supports the idea that walking is an inexpensive sport? A. It is a kind of exercise. B. It requires a regular program. C. It has many of the same benefits as running. D. It requires no special equipment. 5. According to the article, walking should be done______. A. in stops and starts B. as fast as possible C. at a steady pace D. at the same time as jogging 6. In the author’s opinion, how are running and walking alike? A. They require goals. B. They cause the same amount of stress. C. They have the same effect on the heart. D. They take the same amount of time. 7. Which of these would the author probably not consider serious walking? A. Walking 15 minutes a day. B. Walking while window shopping. C. Increasing your speed little by little. D. Walking just before jogging. C At the hillside of the Emei Mountain in Sichuan, a homestay (民宿) — My Own little Yard (吾家小院) is attracting travelers from far and wide, especially on weekends. The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a small company in Chengdu, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li’s husband was on business trips a lot and Li worked overtime on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy. In 2020, they quit (辞掉) jobs and went back to their village, where there were plenty of homestays around their old countryside house coming into their sight. Stepping onto every balcony of every homestay, they could see the beautiful scenery of the Emei Mountain. More importantly, the villagers have earned a lot of money without entering cities to be peasant-workers, which impressed the couple most. The couple began to rebuild their old countryside house, which was updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, and a dining room. Japanese cherry trees were planted in the east courtyard. A swimming pool was placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side. Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. During the summer holiday in 2023, their My Own little Yard — homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. 8．How did Li feel about city life? A．Satisfied. B．Attractive. C．Noisy. D．Tired. 9．What impressed the couple most when they went back to their village? A．Villagers becoming rich. B．Many many homestays. C．Their old countryside house. D．Scenery of Mount Emei. 10．What can we infer about the homestay from paragraph 3? A．It is ancient and broken. B．It can hold many guests. C．It has been rebuilt by the couple. D．It must have been carefully designed. 11．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Sichuan homestays are very popular. B．The Emei Mountain attracts many travelers. C．A couple gives up city life to run a homestay. D．The villagers have earned lots of money as peasant-workers. D Officials at Northland Pines School District are working with a tech company called Spooky Action on a program to allow students to use the Internet through drones (无人机). About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions. “We’re a district of about 500 square miles and getting Internet connect ion for every family is a challenge,” says Harlan Leusink, the director of technology for the district. The program will use drones that are connected to a power source on the ground and that can stay in the air for weeks and even months. The drones will serve as flying cell towers. However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower,” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO, says. “It’s not necessary to replace a cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.” While the drones can stay in the air for more than a month, that’s not usually necessary when they provide the Internet for students. Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight. Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions. 12. What problems does Northland Pines School District have? A. It has poor Internet access and connection. B. Internet access at home is impossible there. C. It has difficulty developing its transport services. D. Students there pay little attention to online learning. 13. Why were Spooky Action’s drones designed at first? A. To offer daily supplies after disasters. B. To replace cell towers in remote areas. C. To improve the national educational standards. D. To provide the Internet service during disasters. 14. What can we infer from what Rahul Tiwari says about drones? A. They have closed the teaching gap. B. They cannot meet students’ needs. C. They don’t need to work all the time. D. They will fly close to local cell towers. 15. What step will be taken for the district? A. Developing new-type drones. B. Further testing the drone services. COffering more wireless hotspots. D. Building permanent equipment properly. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 It was through Bill Bryson’s book The Lost Continent: Travel in Small-Town America that I first experienced small-town travelling.

She asked her neighbors around if they were the owner. It turned out that nobody in the neighborhood knew this dog, let alone claimed it. Ann took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(传单), and put them in mailboxes. She went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, but she warned her two sons not to fall in love with the dog for they would find its owner. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old. Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. Jack had been walking Riley every morning around the neighborhood. In the meantime, Thomas managed to gain the right to feed Riley. It was the first thing after school. The three of them became inseparable. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent. The ambulance arrived in time to save Jack’s life. “If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Ann received a call from a man called Peter. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一英语下学期期末复习练习卷参考答案 第一节阅读理解： CCB DCAB DADC ADCD 第二节短文七选五： AEFCG 第三节完形填空： DBCAB ABBAD CBCAD 第四节语法填空： 36. played 37. has been passed 38. making 39. into 40. to express 41. an 42. happier 43. closely 44. roots 45. what 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
