词汇语境串记
Jack,an amateur sportsman,participated in diverse competitions and demonstrated his ambition and faith.
At the beginning,he took up track and field.He was always the first to do training in the playground.His consistent efforts paid off,ranking first in a halfmarathon.Afterwards,he took an interest in the men's 100meter hurdles,which was difficult to make a breakthrough.But he didn't throw in the towel.In the end,he defeated all the opponents in a match.When rewarded with a prize,he couldn't help bursting into tears.His motto was:Win with humility,lose with grace,and do both with dignity.
Jack was also an unselfish man.He committed himself to doing voluntary work to help people in need and called on others to participate in this kind of activity.Motivated by his spirit,more people began to do the identical cause.He held a firm belief that only by joint efforts and solidarity could we build a more harmonious world.

杰克还是一个无私的人。他致力于做志愿工作,帮助有需要的人,并呼吁其他人参加这类活动。在他的精神的激励下,更多的人开始做同样的事业。他坚信,只有共同努力和团结,才能建立一个更加和谐的世界。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(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。
1.Why did Keeling start to run at an old age?
A.She wanted her daughter getting out of dark cloud.
B.She wanted to learn from her daughter.
C.Cheryl persuaded her to do so.
D.Cheryl wanted her to be a lifelong runner.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第二段“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.”可知,Keeling的女儿认为跑步能让母亲从悲伤中解脱出来,因此她建议母亲跑步。
2.How did Keeling feel about her first “minirun”?
A.Pleased. B.Curious.
C.Annoyed. D.Proud.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first ‘minirun’ was wonderful.”可知,在Keeling的第一次迷你跑中,她感到很愉悦。
3.What can we infer about Keeling from the last paragraph?
A.She used to live a hard life.
B.She spends much time writing.
C.She is very fond of cooking.
D.She is very active in sports.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”可推断,Keeling在运动上是非常积极的。
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Early hard life of Keeling
B.The benefit of running for Keeling's later life
C.The significance of caring for old people
D.Every day is precious for old people
解析:选B。标题归纳题。根据全文可知,文章主要讲述Keeling晚年开始跑步,跑步给她带来了意想不到的好处。所以“The benefit of running for Keeling's later life”作为文章标题最为合适。
B
(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。
5.Who can get the most cardiovascular benefit from regular exercise?
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.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第四段可知,研究结果强调了锻炼在保持心脏健康和减轻压力方面的重要作用。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.Physical Activity Can Prevent Chronic Disease
B.Heart Disease Remains the Leading Cause of Death
C.Rates of Depression Have Risen During the Outbreak of Flu
D.Workout Is Very Good for Stressrelated Patients' Cardiovascular Health

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。
