[限时检测] (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania，waiting for a few latecomers.The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30­minute jog and an occasional lecture.That's right－during some runs，one of them delivers a talk.Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin. But on this day last January，it would not be their normal run.The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them.“Running at an amazing pace，”Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly.Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by，yelling，“Help! He took my phone and laptop！” At that，the group did what running clubs do：They ran，trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site.The runners split up.Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot(脏物)in a backyard. No luck.So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy.When the knocked on the door of one row house，they were in for a surprise.Unknown to them，he had already emerged from the construction site－and was hiding behind a bush by that very house.As the owner opened the door，the suspect darted out from behind the bush...and right into the arms of campus police，who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners. The members of this running group are not hard­core athletes.But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise.“Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat，” Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer.“But occasionally it can be useful，and here was one of those opportunities.” 1．Why do the group members gather together? A．To do some stretching. B．To have a regular run. C．To deliver a lecture. D．To cover some topics. 2．What does the underlined word “sprinted” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Dashed.　　　　　 B．Pushed. C．Jumped. D．Escaped. 3．We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to________． A.the assistance of the runners B．the owner of the row house C．the campus police on patrol D．the joint efforts of the people 4．Which of the following best describes Cassidy? A．Athletic and generous. B．Courageous and ambitious. C．Helpful and humorous. D．Thoughtful and demanding 【语篇解读】　文章讲述了跑步俱乐部的成员们偶然遇到抢劫，他们和警察一起追捕嫌疑人的故事。 1．B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30­minute jog and an occasional lecture.”可知，他们聚在一起是为了进行每周一次的慢跑活动。故B项正确。 2．A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的 “‘Running at an amazing pace’”可知，这个人跑步速度非常快，应该是从他们的身边飞奔而过，由此可知画线词的含义应为“猛冲”。故A项正确。 3．D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As the Owner opened the door，the suspect darted out from behind the bush...and right into the arms of campus police，who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.”可知，在俱乐部成员和警察的共同努力下，这场追捕行动获得了成功。故D项正确。 4．C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off...”可知，Cassidy投入了抓捕犯罪嫌疑人的行动中，说明他很乐于助人，再根据最后一段的最后两句可知，Cassidy对《费城调查者报》说，“跑步通常是一项无用的运动，你跑步时会将脂肪转变为热量，但偶尔它也会有用，这次就是一个例子”，这是一种诙谐的说法，说明他很幽默。故C项正确。 B At first sight，Sky Brown may appear to be like any other 11­year­old crazy about skateboarding.However，spend a few minutes observing the young girl skating and you will realize that she is no ordinary a skater，but a prodigy　.In addition to winning the gold at the United Kingdom National Skateboarding Championship in 2019，she is currently ranked third in the world. These achievements，along with a bronze medal at the September 2019 Park World Skateboarding Championship held in Sao Paulo，Brazil，have all but guaranteed the young girl a spot in the four­person women's team representing the UK in the skateboarding competitions at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2021.If Brown，who will turn 12 shortly before the Tokyo Games, participates in the upcoming Olympics qualifying events and remains injury­free，she will become the youngest British Olympian at the Summer Games.The previous record was held by swimmer Margery Hinton，who was 13 years and 43 days old when she competed at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam，Netherlands. When asked if she was nervous about her first Olympics，the girl said，“I don't feel nervous.It will be really cool to be the youngest Olympian.People might think you're too young or that you can't do it，but I want to show that it's not about your size or age.I want to be in the Olympics to inspire other girls and show them you can do anything.I'm excited about Tokyo.I love Simone Biles' attitude.She just goes for it.It seems nothing can stop her.” The young girl desires to be a skateboarder，surfer and dancer，and even play the guitar when she grows up.However，for now, she is focusing on perfecting a new move—a backside 540，which involves spinning one and a half times towards the toes—for the Olympics.We have a feeling this young girl will be on the Olympic stage for many years to come! 5．What does the underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Guide. B．Success. C．Amateur. D．Talent. 6．What can we learn about the Summer Olympics in Tokyo? A．Margery Hinton will join in it. B．It will be Sky Brown's first Olympics. C.It will be a chance for Sky Brown to break a skating record. D．Margery Hinton will fall behind due to injury. 7．Simone Biles is mentioned to show Sky Brown's ________． A．ability B．nervousness C．attitude D．motivation 8．What does the author think of Sky Brown? A．She has a bright future. B．She still has a lot to learn. C．She should focus on just one thing. D．She has sacrificed a lot for skateboarding. 【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了Sky Brown有望成为东京夏季奥运会上最年轻的英国参赛选手。 5．D　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的 “no ordinary a skater，but...”可知，but表示转折，故prodigy的意思应和ordinary (普通的)相反；再根据下一句“In addition to winning the gold at the United Kingdom National Skateboarding Championship in 2019，she is currently ranked third in the world.”可知，prodigy应是“天才”之意。 故选D项。 6．B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When asked if she was nervous about her first Olympics，the girl said，‘I don't feel nervous.’”可知，东京夏季奥运会将是Sky Brown参加的第一届奥运会。故选B项。 7．C　写作意图题。根据第三段中的“‘I love Simone Biles' attitude.She just goes for it.It seems nothing Can stop her.’”可知，文中提到Simone Biles是为了表明Sky Brown对待比赛的态度。故选C项。 8．A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We have a feeling this young girl will be on the Olympic stage for many years to come！”可知，作者认为这个女孩会有一个光明的未来。故选A项。 Ⅱ.七选五 In some US states，gym class is changing.Many schools are focusing on getting students ready for life after high school.They are looking for ways to leave even the least athletic kids with the will and skills to keep moving.For gym teachers，that means less focus on who is best at a sport.It means less rope climbing and dodgeball(躲避球).__1__ A New Model In one New York school district，there is no“gym”class.__2__They include dance，self­defense and rock climbing.They include mountain biking，in­line skating，and boating. “We want our kids...，to be active for life，”said Ron Whitcomb.He manages the physical education, or PE，program for the Victor，New York，school district.
