(2024·辽宁省县级重点高中联合体模拟)Ida Keeling had grown up poor in Harlem and done hard, grinding work in factories during the Great Depression.She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children—both of her sons—died in accidents.Keeling had sunk into a deep depression.Her health had begun to slide and her daughter, Cheryl, began to worry that she soon might be losing her mother as well.
Keeling's daughter is a lifelong athlete.That may be what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud.She suggested a run.Not just a jog around the block, but an official run.At the time, Ida Keeling was 67.
It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first “minirun” was wonderful.“I just threw off all my bad memories,” Keeling says.She hasn't stopped running since, and it's no longer the difficulty it was during that first meet.Since then, Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over 100 group.“I was just exercising,” she says, “and now I'm all over the world.”
When she's not running, she's working out.She's in the gym three to four days a week, running, working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike—and even exercising while she's cooking.Part of her healthy diet is an occasional dose of red wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid blood circulation.She's written a book about her experiences, titled Can't Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time.Her philosophy is also fit for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.”
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Keeling在67岁时开始尝试跑步。跑步不仅锻炼了她的身体, 而且使她忘掉了自己的烦恼。

(2024·河北省衡水市部分重点高中模拟)Regular physical activity had nearly doubled cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits in individuals with depression or anxiety, compared with individuals without these diagnoses, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.
The research findings add to mounting evidence that exercise improves cardiovascular health by helping to activate parts of the brain that counteract stress.Overall, the study found that people who achieved the recommended amount of physical activity per week were 17% less likely to suffer a major harmful cardiovascular event than those who exercised less.These benefits were significantly greater in those with anxiety or depression, who had a 22% risk reduction vs.a 10% risk reduction in those without either condition.
“The effect of physical activity on the brain's stress response may be particularly relevant to those with stressrelated mental conditions,” said Hadil Zureigat, MD, postdoctoral clinical research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and the study's lead author.“This is not to suggest that exercise is only effective in those with depression or anxiety, but we found that these patients seem to get a greater cardiovascular benefit from physical activity.”
Rates of both depression and anxiety have risen during the outbreak of flu, and heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the US.The study findings underline the important role of exercise in maintaining heart health and reducing stress, according to the researchers.
“Any amount of exercise is helpful, particularly for those with depression or anxiety,” Zureigat said.“Not only will physical activity help them feel better, but they will also significantly reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.It can be hard to make the transition, but once achieved, physical activity allows those with these common chronic (慢性的) stressrelated mental conditions to hit two birds with one stone.”
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了锻炼对患有抑郁症或焦虑症的人的心血管的益处。

A.Someone with little brain capacity.
B.Someone with abnormal heart rates.
C.Someone diagnosed with depression.
D.Someone with fearrelated mental conditions.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段可知,与没有抑郁症或焦虑症的人相比,有规律的体育锻炼给有这些症状的人的心血管带来的益处是翻倍的。
6.What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Double. B.Resist.
C.Awaken. D.Transport.
解析:选B。词义猜测题。根据语境可知,研究结果进一步证明,锻炼有助于激活大脑中抵抗压力的部分,从而改善心血管健康状况。由此可推知,counteract意为“抵抗”。
7.Which of the following may the findings support?
A.Physical exercise is vital to mental health.
B.Physical exercise can cure those people of flu.
C.Exercise merely works for those with depression.
D.Exercise accelerates the recovery of all mental patients.

2.解析:referred。考查非谓语动词。句意:秦雨晴身着灵感来自中国西北甘肃省敦煌壁画飞天仙子的华服,她令人眼花缭乱的滑冰表演让观众着迷。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰中心词“the celestial singers and dancers”,该动词和修饰的名词之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填referred。
3.解析:victories。考查名词。句意:这位出生于2004年的年轻轮滑爱好者和中国传统文化爱好者已经在比赛中取得了无数胜利。victory为名词“成功”,此处为可数名词,根据空前的numerous可知,此处为“已经在比赛中获得了数次成功”,所以用复数形式。故填victories。
4.解析:an。考查不定冠词。句意:她感觉她和轮滑之间有一种难以形容的纽带,意识到她的热情,她的父母立即让她参加了这项运动。此处为“她对轮滑有一种难以形容的感情”,所以空处需要不定冠词,indescribable是以元音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词an。故填an。

8.解析:What。考查名词性从句连接词。句意:重要的不是你是否跌倒,而是你是否重新站起来。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,主语从句中缺少主语,表示“重要的事情”,所以用what引导从句。故填What。
