Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise.I listened to it every day.I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!
I had assured my 10yearold son Todd that I would run in a race with him.Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident.Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, I didn't do quite well in it.
While Todd couldn't run together with me because of his injury (受伤), he never forgot the promise I made to him.He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future.So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race.What I needed was motivation (动力).It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.
It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily.I started to think repeatedly about the words on the CD—“I Enjoy Exercise”.Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”
I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day.I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily.Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works.I have found the positive messages have greatly inspired me and then changed my life.
How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually became the champion in my age group.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在一张名为I Enjoy Exercise的CD的鼓舞下,从过去不喜欢运动转变为现在每天都会运动。
1.Why did the author take part in the race by herself?
A.She would like to win the race.
B.She had a good talent for running.
C.Her son got injured in a car accident.
D.Her son was unwilling to run with her.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident.”可知作者的儿子在车祸中伤了左腿,不能参加跑步比赛了。故选C。
2.How did the author get the motivation for training?
A.By recalling some inspiring stories.
B.By listening to the CD while running.
C.By getting timely help from her friend.
D.By forcing herself into keeping running.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词motivation可定位到第三段,根据第三段后三句可知,作者在朋友的影响下买了一张CD并在每天锻炼的时候听;根据文章第四段内容可知,作者每天都听这张CD,它使作者的思想发生了转变,作者不再害怕运动,而是反复想着CD上的话:“我喜欢运动”;再结合第五段前两句可知,作者每天想着的那句话使她变成开始每天锻炼的人。由此可知,作者运动的动力来自运动时听的那张CD,故选B。
3.What does the underlined word “dreading” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fearing. B.Improving.
C.Preferring. D.Taking.
解析 A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句“Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, ‘I enjoy exercise.'”中的介词短语Instead of可知dreading exercise与其后边的内容“I was thinking,‘I enjoy exercise.’”之间是转折关系,也就是说dread和enjoy (享受)的感情基调是相反的。结合四个选项可推测此处dreading理解成“害怕”最合适。故选A。fear害怕,担忧;improve改进; prefer偏爱;take exercise做运动。
4.What message does the author intend to deliver to us?
A.It's important to avoid injury while running.
B.The motivating words make a difference to us.
C.Parents should get along well with children.
D.We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.
解析 B 推理判断题。此题问的是作者的观点,分析文章结构可知,文章的前四段是在叙事,讲述作者与第一段提到的那张CD的故事,倒数第二段是作者的想法和观点,最后一段是前边所述故事的结尾,由此可知能看出作者观点的内容主要在倒数第二段。根据文章倒数第二段第一句以及后两句“Just think how our lives...changed my life.”可知,作者想要告诉我们激励人心的话语会对我们产生很大的影响。故选B。
B
Is It a Healthy Interest?
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the “world's greatest living explorer”.His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation (极地环行) and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot.So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise can benefit you highly as it reduces both the pulse(脉搏) rate and blood pressure, thus reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body.It also helps to keep the artery(动脉) walls more elastic(有弹性的).
But can you push yourself too much? On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of “moderate” exercise a week, which is a little more than quick walking.“We need to be careful when we're doing extreme sports,” says expert Len Almond.“Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body's ability to recover.The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme.”
We all know how the Marathon began.A man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with the news of a victory died as soon as he arrived, and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack.Further research was done by scientists.They studied cyclists on a race that covered 230 km with a height change of 5,500 m.They were interested in one particular enzyme(酶), high concentrations of which were found in those who had suffered a heart attack.The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race.The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports.But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes, you ask whether exercise is worth it, I advise you to consider your own condition.Personally, I agree with the saying: “Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。虽然运动对身体有益,但是极限运动会对身体造成伤害,因此作者呼吁大家适度运动。
5.What is the influence of taking exercise according to the passage?
A.Taking exercise can speed up the heart rate.
B.Taking exercise can increase stress on the heart.
C.Taking exercise can reduce blood pressure.
D.Taking exercise can keep the artery walls straight.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Exercise can benefit you highly as it reduces both the pulse (脉搏) rate and blood pressure”可知,运动可以降低脉搏速率和血压。故选C。
6.What does expert Len Almond's words suggest?
A.Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress.
B.Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body.
C.We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports.
D.There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Len Almond说的话“We need to be careful when we're doing extreme sports”及“Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands...will be too extreme.”可知,Len Almond认为极限运动会影响身体的恢复能力,引起体内的生化变化等,对人的身体有害。故选B。
7.Why is the research on the cyclists mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To suggest a different area of research.
B.To support the activity of taking part in sports.
C.To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists.
D.To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks.
解析 D 推理判断题。第四段第二句提到“the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack”,接着讲述了科学家研究了一次比赛中的自行车运动员,发现大部分完成比赛的运动员体内有一种化学物质浓度上升了,这种化学物质在心脏病患者体内浓度很高,由此可知,文章提到关于自行车运动员的研究是为了证明极限运动可能导致心脏病。故选D。
8.What does the author think of exercise?
A.It helps you have a regular life
B.It adds years to your life
C.It should be done in moderation
D.It will be worth the effort
解析 C 推理判断题。结合全文内容,尤其是最后一段的第二句“But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes, you ask whether exercise is worth it, I advise you to consider your own condition.”可知,作者认为运动应该适度。故选C。
