词汇语境串记
Nowadays,being thin is seen as being beautiful,so lots of teenagers use some extreme methods to slim down.Some skip meals to lose weight,which has a negative effect on their health.For example,when they are in class,they often find it hard to concentrate on their lessons.Some even faint in class.Others take pills to lose weight.These pills prove to be harmful to lungs,liver,stomach and so on.
Health experts are concerned about that and they are making efforts to teach the teenagers how to be healthy.Firstly,do not follow popular beauty blindly.As for physical health,teenagers should take in enough food to make their bodies function well.Besides,have a balanced diet and do some exercise to reduce pressure and keep energetic.Do concentrate on the things they are good at and show their talents.In a word,like a book,the contents are much more important than the cover.So “don't judge a book by its cover”.Their parents and friends will take pride in them.
[遮住左栏,忆加黑词汇]
如今,瘦即为美,所以很多青少年使用一些极端的方法来减肥。有些人会不吃饭来减肥,这对他们的健康有负面影响。例如,当他们在上课时,他们经常发现很难集中精力听讲。有些人甚至在课堂上晕倒。其他人则通过吃药来减肥。这些药片被证明对肺、肝、胃等有害。
健康专家们对此表示担忧,他们正在努力教导青少年如何保持健康。第一,不要盲目地追随大众之美。至于身体健康,青少年应该摄入足够的食物来使他们的身体功能运作良好。此外,均衡饮食,做一些运动来减轻压力,保持活力。一定要专注于他们擅长的事情,展示他们的才能。总而言之,就像一本书一样,内容比封面要重要得多。所以“不要以貌取人”。他们的父母和朋友都会为他们感到自豪。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·南京高三调研)To figure out if we can die of boredom,we first have to understand what boredom is.For help,I called James Danckert,a psychologist who studies boredom at the University of Waterloo in Canada.“A lot of people think about being bored as being lazy.And it's absolutely not that,”he says.“Bored people want to engage with their world,eager to do something satisfying and exciting.But any attempt to do so fails.”
That means boredom is usually very upsetting.And it can have physical consequences.In one of his experiments,Danckert made people extremely bored by showing them a video of two people hanging clothes to dry.He found that when people got bored,their hearts beat faster and their levels of a hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) went up,compared to when they watched another video that made them sad.These physical changes were signs that boredom was stressing them out.“It's not like having a fullon panic attack,”Danckert says.But it's certainly enough to make boredom unpleasant.
Let's come back to if boredom can kill you.Back in the 1980s,scientists asked people who worked for the British government a whole bunch of questions,including how bored they felt in their daily lives.The study tracked the participants over time.When any one of them died,the survey recorded the cause of death.In 2010,two researchers matched up these causes of death with the participants' level of boredom.It turned out that people who said they were more bored were also more likely to have died of heart disease.“We know that prolonged exposure to stress is bad for our health,” Danckert says.A single boring day can't kill you.But if you're always bored,the stress could add up to something dangerous.
“Oh no”,you might be thinking.“School is boring.My friends are boring.Everything is boring!What's going to happen to me?”Don't worry.Danckert says,“As you get older,you get less bored.It is mainly because you gain more independence and have to get busy to achieve your longterm goals.And trust me:That's anything but boring.”
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。无聊并不等同于懒惰,人们感到无聊是因为他们在生活中无法获得兴奋感。无聊会让人心跳加快,皮质醇水平上升,让人感到有压力,进而导致健康问题。但随着年龄的增长,无聊感也会随着忙碌而减少。
1.According to James Danckert,people feel bored because________.
A.they are too lazy to do anything
B.they can't gain excitement in life
C.they are too frightened to have a try
D.they can't fully understand boredom
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bored people want to engage with their world,eager to do something satisfying and exciting.But any attempt to do so fails.”由此可知,人们感到无聊是因为他们无法在生活中获得渴望得到的满足感和兴奋感。
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Doing housework will make people bored.
B.People's heart rate increases with boredom.
C.Physical changes can lead to extreme boredom.
D.Watching something sad is a boring experience.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He found that when people got bored, their hearts beat faster”可知,当人们感到无聊时,他们的心跳会加快。故选B。
3.What does the underlined word “prolonged”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Continued. B.Repeated.
C.Sudden. D.Active.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“A single boring...something dangerous”可知,无聊的一天不会杀死你,但如果你一直都处于无聊的状态中,那么这种压力会堆积,进而演变成危险的事物。由此可推知,画线词义为“持续很久的”,即处于持续很久的由无聊带来的压力中会对健康造成负面影响。故A项意思与画线词意思最为接近。
4.What does Danckert recommend to save people from boredom?
A.Depending on friends.
B.Setting longterm goals.
C.Keeping yourself occupied.
D.Trusting people around you.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中Danckert说的话“...you get less bored.It is mainly because you...achieve your longterm goals.”可知,随着你年龄的增长,你会变得不那么无聊,那主要是因为你会更独立并且不得不忙于实现你的长期目标。由此可推知,忙起来就不会感到那么无聊。B项为迷惑性选项,Danckert所说的重点不是设定一个目标,而是要忙起来去实现目标。故选C。

(2024·南京市、盐城市模拟)Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate their conversations: bones.It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松)and that more than half have bone loss.For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third.Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture(骨折).Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how to strengthen your bones best and whether diet really makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven't been consistent.But gradually some clarity is emerging.As we draw up resolutions for what to eat,it's useful to look at new data on vitamin D.Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充物) to make up for agerelated bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors.That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density(密度).“Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu.“Getting it from food is best,”LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients(营养物) and you have more continuous absorption than from D supplements.”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in.Weightbearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life.So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。一项研究表明长期服用维生素D并不能改善老年人的骨骼问题,但多吃高钙食物、晒太阳和运动有助于增强骨骼健康。
5.What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 emphasize?
A.The seriousness of bone problems.
B.The concern about senior citizens.
C.The confusion about strengthening bones.
D.The importance of having a balanced diet.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It makes sense...will develop a fracture(骨折)”可知,这些数据表明美国50岁以上的男性女性的骨骼问题严重,世界范围内男性女性的骨折现象也比比皆是。故该段中用真实数据强调了现实中人们骨骼问题的严重性。故A项正确。
6.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 imply?
A.Diet research is no longer a challenge.
B.We've made resolutions to study diets.
C.Findings on bone health prove to be similar.
D.We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.
解析:选D。句意猜测题。根据画线句前的“Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven't been consistent”和But 表转折可知,前文讲关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致;后文应该讲就保持骨骼健康一事大家达成了共识;本段中的“so doctors often recommend D supplements(补充物)to make up for agerelated bone loss”也是提示,即所达成的一致共识为:通过补充维生素D来促进骨骼健康。故D项正确。
7.What can be inferred from the recent study?
A.People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.
B.The findings go against LeBoff's earlier ones.
C.D supplements play a minor role than expected.
D.Fractures are linked with weightbearing exercise.
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But a recent study found...these supplements do not improve bone density(密度)”可知,最近的研究表明,服用维生素D补充剂并没有增强人们的骨密度,即减少老年人的骨折率。再根据第四段中的“because there are so many other nutrients(营养物),and you have more continuous absorption than from D supplements”可知,还有很多营养物质是从维生素D中吸收不到的。两者都明确表明维生素D对保持骨骼健康而言效果不佳。故 C项正确。
8.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Recipes for Better Bones
B.Your Bones Cry!
C.The Magic of D Supplements
D.Vitamin D Wins!
解析:选A。标题归纳题。第一段主要讲现实中人们骨骼问题的严重性;第二段主要讲渐渐地人们开始就保持骨骼健康问题的方法——吃维生素D补充剂——达成一致;根据第三段中的“But a recent study found...fractures in seniors”可知,维生素D补充剂在减少老年人骨骼问题方面没有起到预期效果。再根据第四段中的“What does help...milk and tofu”和第五段可知,要想保持强健的骨骼,最简单的方式是吃含钙高的食物,比如牛奶和豆腐;另一种方法是多进行日常锻炼。由此可知,本文给人们提供了两种更好的强健骨骼的诀窍。故A项作本文的标题最佳。

1.解析:exception。考查名词。句意:杭州亚运会也不例外。此处作表语,应用名词exception表示“例外”。故填exception。
2.解析:which。考查定语从句。句意:当这位48岁的乌兹别克体操运动员出现在现场时,成千上万的观众为“丘索维金娜妈妈”欢呼。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词为Qiu Ma,一个名字,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

5.解析:a。考查冠词。句意:丘索维金娜在亚运会上有着传奇的历史,赢得了8枚奖牌。history意为“历史”,为可数名词,此处storied history为第一次出现,所以应用不定冠词,表示泛指,storied以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。

(2024·浙江省宁波市十校联考)Regret refers to a feeling of sadness about something wrong or about a mistake that you have made, and a wish that it could have been different and better.1.________ Experts say they come in four basic varieties:connection regrets, moral regrets, foundation regrets and boldness regrets.An instance of regret may involve just one or a combination.
2.________ Regret is linked with depression and anxiety, and excessive regret can adversely affect your hormones and immune system.For some,it's anathema to sleep.
To truly get over our regret requires that we put it in its proper place.The trick is not to avoid the bad feeling; it's to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement.3.________ We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves.Here are things you may find helpful the next time you are indulged in regrets.
4.________ This suggests that regret is like a ghost:not entirely clear but always frightening.Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets.Write down why each one still bothers you and its lingering bad effects.You will find that a list is a lot less dreadful than a ghost.
After you make a mistake, life moves on.But sometimes you just can't stop kicking yourself.Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making, had you pressed on to graduation.5.________

4.解析:选B。根据下文“This suggests that regret is like a ghost:not entirely clear but always frightening.”可知,懊悔像鬼魂一样。B项(人们常说他们的懊悔如影随形)符合语境,空后的This指代B项内容。

How do you feel after you've had a meltdown? Do you feel embarrassed about your behavior?2.________An occasional meltdown doesn't mean something is “wrong”with you.It may just be an indicator of a challenging time for you.

C.Learn from every meltdown.
D.There are some negative effects about meltdown.
E.Shaming yourself about your emotion is not helpful.
F.Are you anxious about possible consequences for your outburst?

(2024·潍坊高三模拟)There are few natural sounds more uplifting to my spirit than the bright and cheering calls and songs of blackcapped chickadees (山雀).One of my morning routines is to step outside the house and listen to the voices of blackcaps.
There is something comforting to me in blackcaps' presence.1.________Sometimes they are the only birds I'll hear on my local woodland walks and for me the forest would be a lonelier place without them.
After I'd moved into a house on Anchorage's Hillside, I placed a makeshift feeder on my home's back.2.________For each, the routine was similar:dashed in, looked around, pecked (啄) at the tray, looked around again, and dashed out.Nervous little creatures, full of bright energy, they soon had me laughing at their funny way.By the time they moved on, I sensed an alltoorare upwelling of fascination and joy.
Within days, a whole new world opened up as woodland neighbors I'd never known, or even imagined, joined the blackcaps at my feeders: redbreasted nuthatches, common redpolls...What was remarkable was that all of those species were common residents of the Anchorage area.3.________
My newfound interest in birds grew quickly, surprising even me.4.________I visited bookstores in search of birding guidebooks.Excitedly exchanging bird descriptions with a stranger, purchasing 50pound bags of sunflower seeds...all of this seemed very strange to a middleaged guy who'd never been attracted by birds.Even more, I had previously judged bird watchers to be rather dull sorts.

B.Yet in prior days and years, I had no idea.
C.Blackcaps are a sign of good environment.
D.Within a day, blackcaps accepted my invitation to dine.

G.And much more often than not, they are heard before they're seen.
