Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·济宁高一期末)When people think about improving their physical fitness,they often neglect(忽视) balance.Good balance is a necessary part of being physically fit and key to living a long life,according to a research.It's important for everyone,no matter your age.
Older adults are most affected by poor balance.Falls are the leading cause of injury and death for those 65 and older,with nearly 30% in this age group reporting at least one fall in 2018,according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But younger adults frequently fall down,too.
Fortyeight percent of young adults reported falling at least once during one 16week study.The falls most commonly happened during sports activities,with women in the study reporting more falls and fallrelated injuries than men.
Falls within the previous two years were reported by 18% of young adults (ages 20 to 45) in another study published in the journal BMC Public Health.That figure(数据) compared with 21% of middleaged adults (46 to 65) reporting falls and 35% of those over 65.While falls among young adults were often connected with sports,falls by the middleaged group were typically related to health problems and physical changes.
Many factors can affect your balance outside of age,such as vision changes,brain injuries,overweight and a general lack of physical fitness.Even if you have no risk factors,simply neglecting to work regularly on your balance will result in increased instability(不稳定性).
“Our body is conditioned to lose what we don't regularly use and practice,and balance is no different,” said a researcher.
1.What role does a good balance play in our lives?
A.It helps us live a healthy and long life.
B.It enables us to build a perfect shape.
C.It protects us from getting seriously sick.
D.It has the power to make us look young.
2.How does the author show the research results?
A.By having a discussion.
B.By giving a list of figures.
C.By raising questions.
D.By following the time order.
3.In which situation are young adults likely to fall down?
A.When a health problem comes up.
B.When working regularly.
C.When a physical change appears.
D.When joining in a sport.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We are naturally born with balance.
B.We should manage our body properly.
C.Our body is used to working in its own way.
D.We'll lose our balance if we don't practise it often.

(2023·承德高一期末)My dad is a helpful police off and I respect him very much.In his spare time,he likes volunteering to give lectures on law to the children in our community.
I remember my father took a special care of a family made up of a struggling single father,Jack,and his three sons.The elder boys seemed kind and understanding while the youngest boy,Tom,was naughty and wild.When helping Jack in life and work,my father always taught his children to obey the law.
During one visit,my dad and Jack had a deep conversation.During their talk,Jack expressed his concern about the future of his youngest boy,and said,“As we know,Tom is a clever boy,but he is too competitive.He always behaves badly at school.For some reason,he fought with his classmate again yesterday.I don't know how to deal with him.” Obviously,he felt powerless to guide Tom.So,he asked for my father's advice and ideas.“Will you allow your boy to leave the city for a few days?I want to take him to spend the summer with my son in the suburbs(郊区) of our hometown.” My dad offered the only solution he could think of on the spot.However,Jack agreed and was grateful to my father.
My dad decided that it would be good for Tom to see another side of family life,which he had never been experiencing.Then he discussed the plan with me.I couldn't agree more.
When the summer vacation came,we had a new member,Tom,in our family.Although we seemed very unfamiliar to him,he had no trouble adapting to the new home environment.Amazingly,we found that he was an honest and open boy and got along well with the whole family.He seemed to like playing in the backyard and particularly enjoyed swimming in the pool.Wherever my father went,he took both of us with him.It wasn't long before Tom and I became good friends.I felt so lucky to have him with me,and I even shared everything interesting with him.
