一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A(2023泉州德化二中期中)
A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker(健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.
The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist(手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.
The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three- fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low- calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given an extra fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said,“ The study’s findings are important because effective long- term treatment s are needed to deal with America's obesity.” More information would be needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.

A. start on a high- ca lorie diet B. wear a fitness tracker
C. consult experts D. record their heart rates
( ) 2. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?
A. Because wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.
B. Because physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.
C. Because dealing with obesity needs effective long- term treatments.
D. Because there are great differences in health between both groups.
( ) 3. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?
A. The study went on for about two years.
B. More than 120 men took part in the study.
C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.
D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.
( ) 4. The purpose of the text is to .

Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation(PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running events for local schools. Based in Pleasanton, California, a suburb of San Francisco, the non- profit organization recently hosted a family- focused fitness event for the community.“ Our event helps to bring the community together,” said Mindy Louie, events and outreach manager for PPIE.“ We have more than 3,000 participants, hard- working volunteers and viewers.”
This fitness event took place on April 30 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It featured races of two miles, five kilometres and ten kilometres. A new Kids’ Challenge consisted of a quarter- mile run to encoura ge younger children to participate. When asked to describe the run, Jeremy Louie said,“ Fun, exciting and enjoyable.” This young participant added that he was happy to help support his school.
PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District, which includes more than 14,500 students and 800 teachers and staff. The non- profit organization tries to fund programmes affected by budget cuts, while encouraging fitness and athleticism. To date, thePPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.
A local runners' group called the BURN Youth Development(BYD) participated in the fund- raiser. The BYD has since grown to include more than 100 you th members, 30 of whom ran in April's PPIE event. Jerry Wu, the group's founder and lead coach, explained that theBYD was born to keep kids running. “ Watching them running strongly and happily makes me smile every time,” Jerry said.
Jerry encourages teamwork and teaches the students valuable running techniques. As aBYD member, Ollie Gu, an eighth grade r then, was one of the top finishers in the ten- kilometre run. He completed the race in 40 minutes and 46 seconds and won first place in the 12-15 year- old age group.“ The race was extremely rewarding,” Ollie said.“I'm looking forward to it next year.”
( ) 5. Which race was recently created?
A. A ten- kilometre run.
B. A quarter- mile run.
C. A five- kilometr e run.
D. A two- mile run.
( ) 6. Why does the author list some numbers in Paragraph 3?
A. To stress the great influence of PPIE.
B. To show a small budget for education.
C. To introduce the school district in brief.
D. To advertise the organization's programmes.
( ) 7. What did both Jerry and Ollie want to convey?
A. Their duties as athletes.
B. Their feelings as coaches.
C. Their recognition of the BYD.
D. Their anticipation of the next run.
( ) 8. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sports volunteers. B. Young sportsmen.
C. Running with teachers. D. Racing for education.

一、1——5 CCABB 6——8 ACD
A
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡大学的研究人员通过实验表明佩戴健身追踪器对减肥没有什么大的帮助。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts ... people who only got health consultation.”可知,所有对象都被要求接受专家的健康咨询。
2. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ The study’s findings are important because effective long- term treatment s are needed to deal with America's obesity.”可知, Jakicic 认为这些发现很重要,是因为应对肥胖需要有效的长期治疗方法。
3. A 推理判断题。根据第四段中两个时间段“ six months”和“ Eighteen months”可推断,这次研究持续了大约两年的时间。
4. B 写作意图题。根据第三段中“ John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.”和第四段中“ the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight”可推断,研究表明电子设备并不能对减肥起到作用,有效的专家咨询不仅不能被代替,而且是必要的。

5. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A new Kids’ Challenge consisted of a quarter- mile run to
encourage younger children to participate.”可知,最近才创建的是四分之一英里的赛程。
6. A 推理判断题。根据第三段“PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District ... the PPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.”可知,作者在第三段中列出了一些数字,是为了强调PPIE 带来的巨大影响。
7. C 推理判断题。根据第四段中“ Jerry Wu, the group's founder and lead coach, explained that the BYD was born to keep kids running.”以及最后一段中“‘ The race was extremely rewarding, ’ Ollie said.‘I’m looking forward to it next year.’”可知, Jerry 和 Ollie都想表达他们对BYD的认可。
8. D 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“ Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation(PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running events for local schools.”可知,PPIE 筹集资金是为了组织当地学校的跑步活动,D项“为了教育的赛跑”符合题意,能概括文章大意。
二、1—5 ACBAD 6—10 BDADC 11—15 ACBCB
【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述毕业之后,作者决定认真对待锻炼,起初是和朋友在健身房的跑步机上行走,后来在朋友的建议下,开始尝试美式壁球和网球,最终都掌握了技巧。作者由此学到了宝贵的一课:自己可以做到任何想做的事情,只要付诸努力,结果也会随之而来。
1. A 句意:在朋友的陪伴下,我开始了在跑步机上行走的习惯。began 开始; changed 改变; quit放弃; delayed 延迟。根据上文“I decided to take the gym seriously”可知,作者决定要在健身房锻炼,之后开始在跑步机上行走。
2. C 句意:我对我们在健身房的日常活动很满意。disappointed 失望的; familiar 熟悉的; satisfied满意的; careful小心的。下文提示词 however表明前后句意呈转折关系,下文“ My friend, however, became bored.”表明作者的朋友感觉无聊,所以上文作者情绪是“满意的”,构成转折。
3. B 句意:一天,他建议我们从事一项户外运动。show off炫耀; take up 占据,开始从事; keep off 不接近; set out 出发。根据上文“ suggested”可知,这只是建议,还没有开始,结合下文“ an outdoor sport”可知, take up符合题意,表示开始一项户外运动。28
4. A 句意:我是个动作不协调的人,所以我拒绝了他的建议。refused 拒绝; supported 支持; highlighted 强调; understood 理解。根据上文“I was an uncoordinated(动作不协调的) person”可知,A 项符合题意,前后构成因果关系。
5. D 句意:但几周后,他成功说服我去了一个美式壁球场地。remind 提醒; allow 允许; expect期望; persuade 说服。根据上文可知,作者起初拒绝了朋友开始进行户外活动的建议,但几周之后,朋友成功说服他去了该户外场地。
6. B 句意:当我击球时,我让它向各个方向飞去,除了 我 想 要 的方向。imagined 想象; intended 打算,想要; agreed 同意; found 发现。根据上文“ except”可知,B项符合题意,想要的方向和上文的实际击球的方向形成对比。
7. D 句意:尽管如此,不知为什么,我还是努力学习,并在 不 断练 习后变得熟 练起来。 considerate 考 虑 周到的; cautious 谨慎的; mature 成熟的; skilful 熟练的。根据上文并列连词“ and”和下文“ after constantly practising”可知,作者努力练习这一运动后变得熟练。
8. A 句意:我的朋友建议道:“我们在跑步机上没有得到足够的锻炼。为什么不打网球来锻炼身体呢?” exercise 锻炼; entertainment 娱乐; movement移动; experience 经历,经验。根据下文“ to build up our body”可知,朋友想要打网球以锻炼身体,所以应该是认为在跑步机上并不能得到充分的锻炼。
9. D 句意:“网球? 我不会打网球! 这需要真正的技巧!” occupies 占 用; preserves 保存; improves提升; involves 涉及,包含。空前的 that 指代上文的“ play tennis”,作者认为打网球涉及真正的技巧。
10. C 句意:我坚决抵制他的新尝试。method方法; chance 机会; attempt 尝试, 企图; assistance帮助。空处指代上文朋友建议通过打网球来强身健体,这是朋友又一次尝试说服作者。
11. A 句意:经过几个月的痛苦练习,有一天,当球飞向我时,我的球拍和那个球相遇了,网球运动员称之为“最佳击球点”。refer to 提及,指的是; think out仔细考虑; make up 编造; set down 放下。此处 what 引导宾语从句,空处在句中作谓语,作者球拍和球相遇的这完美一球被网球运动员称之为“最佳击球点”。8
12. C 句意:我终于学会了如何正确地打网球! occasionally 偶 尔; formally 正 式 地; eventually 终于; frequently 频繁地。根据上文可知,作者起初抗拒朋友打网球的新建议,但几周之后还是开始进行这一运动,并且某天打出了完美的一球,所以作者最终学会了如何正确打网球,前后形成时间顺序。
13. B 句意:我从这些经历中学到了非常宝贵的一课:我可以做任何我下定决心要做的事。 concept 概念; lesson课程,教训; theory 理论; standard标准。冒号内容进一步解释了该空,“I can do whatever I set my mind on”是作者从这些经历中学到的经验和教训。
14. C 句意:我只需要付出努力,结果就会随之而来。respond 回应; remain 保持; follow 跟着; help 帮助。根据上文“I just need to put in efforts”和并列连词“ and”可知,付出努力之后,好的结果也会随之而来。
15. B 句意:我变得非常热衷于尝试新事物,我总是充满兴奋感。hesitant 犹豫不决的; enthusiastic 热 情 的; particular 特 别的; flexible灵活的。根据上文可知,作者通过这几次经历明白了:只要下定决心去做,就可以成功,下文描述了作者总是充满兴奋感,所以作者现在喜欢尝试新鲜事物,对新鲜事物保持热情。
