Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly-formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision- and hearing-impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision- and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms Cullen and Ms Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five-kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust,but Ms Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in, ” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them, ” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
1. What does Paragraph 1 try to show?
A. The danger of walking on a busy road. B. The difficulty the disabled athletes face.
C. The exercise people do to keep fit. D. The necessity of building roads for the blind.
2. How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone?
A. Relaxed. B. Excited.
C. Worried. D. Bored.
3. What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms Britt?
A. She developed a strong sense of teamwork. B. She led Ms Cullen forward on the road.
C. She began to rely on Ms Cullen as her guide. D. She fell down on the ground.
4. What was the best thing Ms Allen has done?

It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears. (保持健康通常意味着与骑自行车的人、跑步者和步行者共享一条繁忙的道路,但想象一下,面对在看不见或听不见的情况下完成这一切的任务。这是许多残疾运动员面临的挑战,除非有人同意做他们的眼睛和耳朵)”可知,对于视觉和听觉受损的运动员来说,参加锻炼是一项挑战,除非有人做他们的眼睛和耳朵,由此可推知,第一段旨在说明残疾人运动员所面临的困难。故选B项。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““But, they found people and matched me to them, ” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” (“但是,他们找到了人,把我和他们配对,”她说。“这是我做过的最好的事。”)”可知,Allen女士认为她做的最好的事情是向Achilles Brisbane求助,故选A项。

If you’ re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sports audience. Whether you’ re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or commiserate with your favourite team or athlete.
Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident.
But can watching sports be good for you too? The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater wellbeing than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, found sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to forge group identity and belonging.” She says this then reduces loneliness and boosts wellbeing. But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the Internet may also have great benefits, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues.
They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, the sports watchers tended to have richer social networks than non-watchers. The authors suggest that the social networks you gain through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. So, the cheers at a live sports event or even casual chit-chat with friends about your favourite team can bring a friendship and may reduce loneliness and depression.
It seems the health benefits of sports are not limited to physical activity through participation in them, but that we can make gains in our general wellbeing through social bonding.
5. What does the underlined word “commiserate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Agree. B. Struggle. C. Sympathize. D. Correspond.
6. What does the study published in Frontiers in Public Health focus on?
A. Benefits of doing sports. B. Loneliness in sports men’s life.
C. Positive effects of watching sports. D. Players’ satisfaction with their performance.
7. Why does the author mention the older adult sports watchers?
A. To demonstrate watching sports can improve physical health.
B. To praise older people’s high spirit while watching sports.
C. To advocate the senior taking sports instead of watching.
D. To show sports watching reduces risk of mental diseases.
8. Which of the following is the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】5. C 6. C 7. D 8. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了观看体育赛事对心理健康的好处。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题题。根据第一段“Whether you’ re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or commiserate with your favourite team or athlete.(无论你是在体育馆里热闹的人群中的一员,还是只是在家里看电视,当你为你最喜欢的球队或运动员庆祝或commiserate时,你很容易陷入高潮和低谷)”可知,低谷对应的是commiserate,表示同情,在庆祝或同情你最喜欢的球队或运动员时,很容易陷入高潮和低谷。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据第四段“They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t.(他们发现,看体育比赛的老年人比不看体育比赛的老年人更不容易出现抑郁症状)”可知,作者提到老年体育观众是为了显示观看体育比赛可以降低患精神疾病的风险。故选D项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一段主要说明了观看体育运动的人很容易陷入高潮和低谷,为总起段落。第二段主要说明了足球比赛期间的情绪压力增加了患心血管疾病的风险,说明的是体育运动的弊端。第三段主要说明了关看体育比赛对的好处。第四段主要说明了观看体育比赛可以降低患老年人的精神疾病的风险,为第三段的具体说明。最后一段主要说明各了似乎体育运动对健康的好处并不局限于通过参与体育活动,而是我们可以通过社会纽带获得总体幸福感,为总结段落。故短文的结构为A项。故选A项。
C
Having a glass of wine with dinner every night has been regarded as a relatively harmless way to relax. However, a recent study suggests that there may be no “safe” limit for alcohol and that not drinking at all is the best way to protect your heart.
The researchers examined data from seven international studies on drinking and high blood pressure, involving over 19,000 people from the US, Korea and Japan. The participants were asked how much alcohol they drank each day, and this was compared with their blood pressure readings over a follow-up period averaging five years.
Blood pressure increased as people aged, but the most rapid increases were seen in heavy drinkers, defined as those who drank about three glasses of wine per day. The researchers said they found that people drinking at lower levels also saw a significant increase in blood pressure over time, compared with those who were teetotal.
There has been fierce debate over whether moderate (适量的) alcohol consumption can be beneficial to health, with some studies linking wine and lower rates of heart disease. However, this new study supports the idea that even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful to the heart.
Marco Vinceti, lead author of the study and a professor at Boston University, said, “We were somewhat surprised to see that consuming an already low level of alcohol was also linked to higher blood pressure changes over time compared with no consumption — although far less than the blood pressure increase seen in heavy drinkers. That means moderate alcohol consumption isn’t a beneficial choice at all.”
High blood pressure puts a burden on blood vessels, the heart, and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes, and can lead to a number of serious health problems including heart attacks, strokes and vascular dementia.
Alcohol is certainly not the only driver of increases in blood pressure. However, the findings confirm it contributes in a meaningful way. Limiting alcohol intake is probably not enough — it’s better to avoid it.
9. How did the researchers arrive at their findings?
A. They analyzed data from several studies.
B. They tracked 190,000 people for over five years.
C. They made observations in a controlled lab setting.
D. They carried out some experiments nationwide only.
10. What does the underlined word “teetotal” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Old. B. Non-drinking. C. Healthy. D. Addicted.
11. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. The cause of high blood pressure. B. The harm of high blood pressure.
C. Common serious health problems. D. The terrible results of heart attacks.
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To prove a glass of wine every night is beneficial.
B. To recommend a relatively harmless way to relax.
C. To urge people to stay away from alcohol completely.
D. To show moderate alcohol consumption is well received.
【答案】9. A 10. B 11. B 12. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最新研究发现,即使低量饮酒也会导致血压上升。因此,作者建议完全远离酒以保护心脏。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“The researchers examined data from seven international studies on drinking and high blood pressure, involving over 19,000 people from the US, Korea and Japan.(研究人员检查了来自七项关于饮酒和高血压的国际研究的数据,涉及来自美国、韩国和日本的19000多人)”可知,研究人员是通过分析几项研究的数据得出他们的发现的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“Blood pressure increased as people aged, but the most rapid increases were seen in heavy drinkers, defined as those who drank about three glasses of wine per day(随着年龄的增长,血压会升高,但升高最快的是酗酒者,即每天喝三杯左右葡萄酒的人)”可知,喝酒的人血压会升高。再结合下文的“compared with”可知,所猜句在讲不喝酒人的血压,可推测“teetotal”表示不饮酒的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文中“High blood pressure puts a burden on blood vessels, the heart, and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes, and can lead to a number of serious health problems including heart attacks, strokes and vascular dementia.(高血压会给血管、心脏和其他器官,如大脑、肾脏和眼睛带来负担,并可能导致许多严重的健康问题,包括心脏病发作、中风和血管性痴呆)”可知,第六段主要讲述了高血压的危害。故选B项。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“However, this new study supports the idea that even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful to the heart.(然而,这项新研究支持了即使少量酒精也可能对心脏有害的观点)”以及“Alcohol is certainly not the only driver of increases in blood pressure. However, the findings confirm it contributes in a meaningful way. Limiting alcohol intake is probably not enough — it’s better to avoid it.(酒精当然不是血压升高的唯一原因。然而,研究结果证实,它在很大程度上起了作用。限制酒精摄入可能还不够 —— 最好完全避免饮酒)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是敦促人们完全远离酒精。故选C项。

The birth of the little girl, Melody, cast a shadow over her family.

They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future.
Fortunately, Dana and Jeff saw a ray of hope when the doctor told the couple that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术). Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would spare no effort to support Melody.
Nothing is precious than their little angel, and Dana as well as Jeff was ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for clef surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford.
Then came the thrilling moment when Jeff browsed through a medical forum one evening, he stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not ford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were incredible. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid.

Imagining that their girl was on track for a life of joy, loving to run around and play with other kids in the future, Dana and Jeff felt more than relieved and grateful.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,共37.5分)
A
Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly-formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision- and hearing-impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision- and hearing-impaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms Cullen and Ms Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five-kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust,but Ms Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in, ” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them, ” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
1. What does Paragraph 1 try to show?
A. The danger of walking on a busy road. B. The difficulty the disabled athletes face.
C. The exercise people do to keep fit. D. The necessity of building roads for the blind.
2. How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone?
A. Relaxed. B. Excited.
C. Worried. D. Bored.
3. What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms Britt?
A. She developed a strong sense of teamwork. B. She led Ms Cullen forward on the road.
C. She began to rely on Ms Cullen as her guide. D. She fell down on the ground.
4. What was the best thing Ms Allen has done?
A. Asking Achilles Brisbane for help. B. Working in Achilles Brisbane.
C. Exercising non-stop. D. Meeting Tatum.

If you’ re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sports audience. Whether you’ re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or commiserate with your favourite team or athlete.
Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident.
But can watching sports be good for you too? The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater wellbeing than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, found sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to forge group identity and belonging.” She says this then reduces loneliness and boosts wellbeing. But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the Internet may also have great benefits, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues.
They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, the sports watchers tended to have richer social networks than non-watchers. The authors suggest that the social networks you gain through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. So, the cheers at a live sports event or even casual chit-chat with friends about your favourite team can bring a friendship and may reduce loneliness and depression.
It seems the health benefits of sports are not limited to physical activity through participation in them, but that we can make gains in our general wellbeing through social bonding.
5. What does the underlined word “commiserate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Agree. B. Struggle. C. Sympathize. D. Correspond.
6. What does the study published in Frontiers in Public Health focus on?
A. Benefits of doing sports. B. Loneliness in sports men’s life.
C. Positive effects of watching sports. D. Players’ satisfaction with their performance.
7. Why does the author mention the older adult sports watchers?
A. To demonstrate watching sports can improve physical health.
B. To praise older people’s high spirit while watching sports.
C. To advocate the senior taking sports instead of watching.
D. To show sports watching reduces risk of mental diseases.
8. Which of the following is the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
C
Having a glass of wine with dinner every night has been regarded as a relatively harmless way to relax. However a recent study suggests that there may be no “safe” limit for alcohol and that not drinking at all is the best way to protect your heart.
The researchers examined data from seven international studies on drinking and high blood pressure, involving over 19,000 people from the US, Korea and Japan. The participants were asked how much alcohol they drank each day, and this was compared with their blood pressure readings over a follow-up period averaging five years.
Blood pressure increased as people aged, but the most rapid increases were seen in heavy drinkers, defined as those who drank about three glasses of wine per day. The researchers said they found that people drinking at lower levels also saw a significant increase in blood pressure over time, compared with those who were teetotal.
There has been fierce debate over whether moderate (适量的) alcohol consumption can be beneficial to health, with some studies linking wine and lower rates of heart disease. However, this new study supports the idea that even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful to the heart.
Marco Vinceti, lead author of the study and a professor at Boston University, said, “We were somewhat surprised to see that consuming an already low level of alcohol was also linked to higher blood pressure changes over time compared with no consumption — although far less than the blood pressure increase seen in heavy drinkers. That means moderate alcohol consumption isn’t a beneficial choice at all.”
High blood pressure puts a burden on blood vessels, the heart, and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes, and can lead to a number of serious health problems including heart attacks, strokes and vascular dementia.
Alcohol is certainly not the only driver of increases in blood pressure. However, the findings confirm it contributes in a meaningful way. Limiting alcohol intake is probably not enough — it’s better to avoid it.
9. How did the researchers arrive at their findings?
A. They analyzed data from several studies.
B. They tracked 190,000 people for over five years.
C. They made observations in a controlled lab setting.
D. They carried out some experiments nationwide only.
10. What does the underlined word “teetotal” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Old. B. Non-drinking. C. Healthy. D. Addicted.
11. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. The cause of high blood pressure. B. The harm of high blood pressure.
C. Common serious health problems. D. The terrible results of heart attacks.
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To prove a glass of wine every night is beneficial.
B. To recommend a relatively harmless way to relax.
C. To urge people to stay away from alcohol completely.
D. To show moderate alcohol consumption is well received.
