考题猜想03 阅读理解期中必刷20篇 译林牛津必修第一册 Passage 1—学校生活 I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year. And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of our country depends on you. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future. You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to build our country. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy. We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. The circumstances of your life — what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home — none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying. Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your future for you, because here in our country, you write your own future. You make your own future. Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it. 1. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Students adjust to their new schools easily. B.

Devote ourselves to whatever we are intended to do. D. Make excuses for neglecting homework if necessary.、 Passage 2 学校生活 “Is this a high school or a small town?” I thought to myself scanning(浏览) my campus map. It was my first day of classes at my senior high school. I felt like an ant at that huge school. I found my schedule and placed it next to the map. I had a biology class at 9:30 am in the BISIC building. I looked at my watch. It was 9:05 am, which gave me plenty of time, or so I thought. After walking around for 15 minutes, unable to find my way, I began to get very anxious. Just then a middle-aged woman in a bright purple dress approached(走近) me and asked me if I needed help. “Yes,” I said. “I am looking for the BISIC building.” A smile appeared on the lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, that is nearby!” She offered to direct me to my class, and I made it to my first class on time. The strange faces around me brought a sense of loneliness. I didn’t know one person in that great big class. When my last class came to a close, the nervousness of the day finally disappeared. It was finally time to go home. Along my walk, I recollected my classes and activities of the day and the new friends I had made. The comfort of arriving home was the best feeling that day. The day had so many things. All in all, I felt very thankful to have the chance to study in such a great high school. 1. What impressed the author most that morning? A. The online map. B. The friendly teacher. C. The large campus. D. The new classmates. 2. What happened to the author before his biology class? A. He chose the wrong seat in the classroom. B. He was unable to find his watch. C. He was late for his first class. D. He got lost in school. 3. What did the author experience at his first class? A. A feeling of loneliness. B. An interest in biology. C. Complete boredom. D. Great comfort. 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Learning: a time of happiness. B. Education: the key to success. C. My first day of high school. D. My love of campus life. Passage 3 学校生活 If you’re in high school like me, you’ve probably begun to wonder what you’re going to be in the coming years of your life. The best way to plan for the future is to have an outline(草案) that is likely to change. After talking to a lot of college graduates about where they plan on going after college, you may find that those who seemed to have it all figured out(弄清楚) in high school ended up to be the most confused(困惑的). Sometimes the things you think you love don’t turn out to be as fun as you thought. So keep an open mind, and be ready to change directions. Outline for yourself, and most importantly, try new things. I’m only a junior in high school. My idea of what my future will look like will probably be wildly different in a few years. So I can’t tell you exactly what my plans for my future are. For now, the best I can do to provide a good foundation(基础) for my future is to pay attention to the shorter-term goals. I want to keep my grades high. I want to get a high SAT score. I’ve built this foundation of my own grades, and even my own hobbies that I am proud of. I have always loved three things: writing, math, and science. Time has gone on, and those things have gotten more specific (明确的). I’m sure as I get older those things will be more specific, but those are the things I enjoy. With these things, I’ve set a goal for myself, and I hope to achieve it. These are just plans, anyway. These are just ideas for how I think plans should be made for my own future. I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet. Maybe in two years, when I’ve graduated I could tell you more, but for now all I have are goals. 1. What advice does the author offer in Paragraph 2? A. Learn from the past. B. Make full use of your time. C. Be prepared to adapt to change. D. Have every moment of your life planned. 2. How are the author’s plans for his future? A. They will be achieved soon. B. They make him stressed. C. They are still unclear. D. They let him down. 3. For now, the author thinks he should not only get high scores but also ______. A. set an example to others B. develop his hobbies C. live a healthy life D. set a long-term goal 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To introduce his school life. B. To ask for help for his future. C. To talk about college graduates’ experience. D. To share his thoughts about making plans as a junior. Passage 4 学校生活 Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life. To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence(信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels. 1. What does progress make us do? A. Set lifelong goals. B. Go forward easily. C. Think about new things. D. Live healthily and happily. 2. What does Paragraph 3 tell us? A. We should support different people. B. Some people can push us to failure. C. Confidence helps us make progress. D. Different schools expect the same progress. 3. What does the writer say about slow progress? A. It often goes smoothly. B. It always gives us a clear mind. C. It sometimes stops progress. D. It still means progress. 4. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. Ideas about Making Progress B. Keys to Speeding up Progress C. Meanings of Having Confidence D. Suggestions on Relationships Passage 5 学校生活 (2024-2025学年高一上·江苏南通·开学练)Dr. Bhuvana, a special educator and therapist, once taught at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods. Parents were impressed by the improvements in their slow pupils and suggested Dr. Bhuvana start a special school for such children. Dr. Bhuvana came to the rescue of students with developmental disorders. In 1998, she opened Bridges Learning Vidyalaya to teach students with autism(自闭症) and other developmental disorders. There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart(传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective. The school has also trained teachers to teach the subjects in a friendly manner. Over the past 25 years, the school has educated over 6,000 slow students, many of whom are now doctors, managers and engineers working in big companies or have important careers. Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university. Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching. 1. What inspired Dr. Bhuvana to improve her teaching methods? A. The great potential of her poorly performing students. B. The constructive suggestions from some educators. C. The lack of parental guidance on students’ studies. D. The sharply different performances of her students. 2. What is a key characteristic of Bridges Learning Vidyalaya? A. Its aiming to train qualified teachers. B. Its objecting to testing a student’s IQ. C. Its teaching students according to their ability. D. Its providing therapies for students with mental disorders. 3. What can be known through the example of Suryanarayan? A. Choosing a suitable career is essential for everyone. B. Good grades usually come from parents’ encouragement. C. Parents are always overly worried about their children’s future. D. Proper teaching methods can have an important effect on students. 4. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Bhuvana? A. Energetic and cautious. B. Creative and caring. C. Faithful and cooperative. D. Innocent and simple-minded. Passage 6-亲子关系 Make the Most of College Dear Daughter, As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real proof of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are. Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life, the learning skills you acquire will be something you will value forever. Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them -- pick the ones who are genuine to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities. Start planning early -- what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat -- this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it! College is the four years where you have: ● the greatest amount of free time ● the first chance to be independent ● the most flexibility to change ● the lowest risk for making mistakes So please treasure your college years -- make full use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be brave to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

Every day, my room was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my peaceful harbor. Today was no exception. As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. But I was still doubtful about it. Yesterday, around the mouth of my favorite figurine(小雕像) was a chocolate cookie. Obviously, Callie had enjoyed the cookie so much that she wanted to share it with my angel. I looked around for Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her, but I heard the TV blaring (发出声音) in the other room. As I examined the family room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all over the floor, but none of them seemed to be mine. Maybe she hadn't entered today. I was so hopeful that I breathed a sigh of relief. I pushed my room door open and saw damage! There were a few headless dolls, some broken blocks, and a few juice-stained stuffed animals. “She did it again!” I screamed in anger. My mother ran up to me, embarrassed. She promised to put a Callie-proof lock on my door tonight. I felt better, because I knew that soon my room would truly belong to me. However, I was still angry with my little sister so I went into the family room to tell her how she had made life unpleasant for me. “Callie... ” I started. “Hooray!” she shouted. She leaped off the sofa and hugged my knees with such happiness that I could only look down at her and smile. After all, she was only three and learning about the world in her own way.

Passage 8-亲子关系 I try to be a good father. Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons. This love story began in Winchester Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year. Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed. 1. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A. The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true. B. The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution. C. The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation. D. The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment. 2. What’s discussed in the third paragraph? A. Why Rick became paralyzed. B. How Rick started running. C. Why running changed Rick’s life. D. How Rick communicated with others. 3. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A boy with a rare disease B. The greatest dad in the world C. A tough road to marathons D. Parents’ influence on children’s life Passage 9-亲子关系 In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 1. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A. To know what they eat. B. To ask for some cookies and pudding. C. To relieve their loneliness. D. To teach them how to make dessert. 2. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hurt your hearing B. Blame other’s behaviors C. Miss important information D. Speak all the time 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother B. The author realized the value of her mother C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone D. The author’s mother still keeps connected with the seniors 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Seniors blessing B. A new project C. Nightly calls, lifeline calls D. Call your parents often Passage 10-亲子关系 Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him. Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don't want her to form the perception(看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have. Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations(局限) are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford. Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money. 1. What do you know about Ashish Khanna? A. Pocket money helps children develop better. B. He can have much control of his child by money. C. He was given too much pocket money when young. D. He will buy something he thinks his child really needs. 2. What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common? A. They allow their children to spend money freely. B. They want their children to learn to manage money. C. They teach their children the difficulty of making money. D. They ask their children to get pocket money by working. 3. According to Vikram Desai, what do children learn from earning pocket money? A. Money is not easy to get. B. Money can be got from trees. C. One can get lots of money if he/she works hard. D. Money is not so important to people nowadays. 4. Who would give his child pocket money every month? A. Ashish Khanna.B. Sharad Sanghi. C. Rakesh Shah. D. Rajiv Patel. Passage 11-友谊 If you have ever lost touch with old school friends, you may find yourself wanting to make contact again. Some teens find that certain school friends are worth keeping contact with and want to keep the friendship going strong. Hang out at the same places One way you can get together with old friends from your school is to go to the same places that they go to. If you still go to school together, you probably know where everyone goes on the weekends. If you are able to go there too, you may find that your relationships with your old school friends start up again. Join sports teams If you are athletic and your former friends are too, joining school sports teams is a great way to catch up with old friends. This doesn’t mean that you should join a sport which you do not like just so you can see your old friends. However, if you like sports, wish to join a team and your former friends are on that team, and then playing the team sports is a great way to get to know them again. Take part in school clubs There are often a lot of school clubs in which teens participate. Depending on your interests and your former friends’ interests, you may just find a club at school. Sharing a common interest such as a club activity will help you to have something in common and something to talk about. 1. What can you do to get together with old school friends? A. You’d better join the school dance clubs. B. You should have dinner with them. C. You may go to the places where they go. D. You can often go shopping with them. 2. Which activity is best for a sports lover to contact old friend? A. Hanging out at the same places. B. Joining school sports teams. C. Taking part in school clubs. D. Participating in school competitions. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To tell different hobbies that students have. B. To share various interesting things in school. C. To join clubs with the same interests. D. To give advice on contacting old friends. Passage 12-友谊 Twelve-year-old Catherine has a lot of friends—632, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not words with friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platform. In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need anyone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face. 1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To tell about true friends. B. To start a discussion. C. To encourage online friendships. D. To summarize(总结) the text. 2. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in paragraph 3? A. In any case. B. In public. C. In person. D. In advance. 3. What is Katie’s attitude toward online communication? A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Confused. 4. Which of the following is the Rosen’s view? A. Teenagers need to focus on real-world friendships. B. It’s easier to develop friendships in real life. C. It’s wise to turn to friends online. D. Social media help people stay closely connected. Passage 13-友谊 I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved to the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared of looking at each other. Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, riding bikes to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would sit at each other’s house, watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked. It was last year that I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression (临床抑郁症), and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister. Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself and that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ” We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if your friends need you, and you care about them, you should be always there for them. 1. Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met? A. Because they were playing a game. B. Because they didn’t like each other. C. Because they quarreled before. D. Because they were both shy. 2. What’s the problem of my best friend? A. family problems B. having difficulty in studying C. clinical depression D. bad relationship with classmates 3. What would have happened to her friend if the author had not cared about her? A. She would have lost her new best friend. B. She would have killed herself that night. C. She would have run away from her family. D. She would have stayed in hospital for a long time. 4. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Always care about your friends. B. Don’t care about others’ opinions. C. Never owe your friends too much. D. Try to be as cool as others. Passage 14-友谊 Holly Cooke wasn’t a fan of weekends. Whenever Friday rolled around, it was a reminder that she had no one to spend her spare time with. “I was lonely,” said Cooke, who relocated from Stoke-on-Trent — a city in central England — to London when she was 22. “I moved here knowing no one.” She had high hopes of going to restaurants, bars and the theater as she had done before, but she didn’t want to do those activities alone. “I was desiring community: people who wanted to hang out and have fun,” said Cooke, now 26. She grew so eager for company, she said that she eventually found herself Googling: “How to make friends in London.” The search proved futile, though she found a few other women who were also lonely in London on some social media apps. Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London Lonely Girls Club,” and invited the people she connected with on the apps to join. She then asked everyone to meet for brunch (早午餐). “It was so difficult,” she said, adding that she asked a friend from out of town to come in for the brunch, in case no one else showed up. “Saying that you’re lonely and you don’t have people around, admitting to that was really scary.” Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they all got along well. This proved she was not alone in her loneliness, and that she could help others in the same situation. She decided to start planning meetups every few weeks, and word slowly spread about the Facebook group. Now, five years later, the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35,000 members. Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting friendships through her group. “It’s beautiful and rewarding, and it’s the reason I’ve carried on,” she said. “As long as there is a need, we will be here.” 1.

Passage 15-友谊 Sometimes I began to imagine: what if I were neighbors with all of my friends? The more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe: we should all live close to our friends. For the past century, the nuclear family, only including parents and children, has defined U.S. homes. But Americans lived with friends and extended family long before the nuclear family became common. Even now, this mode of living exists somewhere; think of college campuses, which tend to be the kind of walkable communities where you’re regularly running into pals on the street. While moving closer to friends would likely require a lot of efforts, doing so could actually be really good for you. Having supportive friends is connected with greater day-to-day happiness. Researchers have found that happiness spreads easily, especially among those who live close together. Friends living within a mile of each other are 25 percent more likely to feel happy, and their friends have a 10 percent chance of feeling happier too. Live around people who make you happy, and you might create a happiness circle that cheers up everyone around you. Having a pal around is also just practical. For people with kids, a friend in the neighborhood might be able to help with child care in times of need, saving you the cost of a last-minute babysitter. Those without children might welcome the chance to bond with friends’ kids. And for people who live alone, living closer to friends can make savings on some things easier. You might share household items you don’t need every day, for example. Whatever the reason, having more people you trust around will make it easier for you to get through difficult times. Many people are prepared to move for a new job, to be with a romantic partner, or even just for an adventure. Moving to be closer to friends should be no different. Friends are important to a good life. So why not shorten the distance between you and them? 1. Which was popular in the US before the nuclear family became common? A. The one-parent family. B. The extended family only. C. The college campus community. D. The family group with relatives and friends. 2. What do the percentages in Para. 3 show about living closer to friends? A. It spreads happiness among friends easily. B. It benefits one’s physical and mental health. C. It improves one’s awareness of family building. D. It increases one’s chances of making more new friends. 3. What is the practical advantage of living near friends? A. Greater personal growth. B. Lower living costs. C. More health care services. D. Better leisure activities. 4. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A. To advise living in nuclear families. B. To call on maintaining good friendships. C. To encourage people to live close to friends. D. To tell people how to turn friends into neighbors. Passage 16-体育健身 This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. Your don’t have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin. ◆Wake-up When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward (前俯) until you feel sore (酸痛的) in your back. It will use up 10 calories. ◆Start with soup Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes. ◆An apple or more a day Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight. ◆Talk it up Every time you use the cellphone, stand up and walk around. Heavy peoples it on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories. Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss. 1. The text is to encourage you to . A. go on a diet B. give up your favorite foods C. join a gym D. follow some habits of thin people 2. Which of the following ways is a good choice to become thin? A. Sit up quickly in the morning. B. Have soup before the main food. C. Eat rice instead of apples. D. Sit down when using a cellphone. 3. While you are using the cellphone, what you should do to lose weight? A. Stand up and walk around. B. Sit quietly. C. Lie on the bed. D. Eat an apple. Passage 17-体育健身 Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds? “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida. “A person’s scale mass(质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is. The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them. You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day. So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer. 1. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2? A. Your weight changes little during a day. B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors. C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight. D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat. 2. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months? A. You will weigh more. B. Your muscle mass will decrease. C. Your body fat will increase. D. Your body composition will change. 3. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body? A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds. C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds. 4. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Why Do We Gain Weight? B. How to Work Out Effectively? C. What Is the Composition of Our Body? D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain? Passage 18-体育健身 Over the last half century, obesity(肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent. Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link(联系) between sugar consumption(消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline. “I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.” All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar — just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease. Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele. In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start. 1. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly. C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention. 2. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption? A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. 3. What does the study in JAMA want to show? A. Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain. C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth Passage 19-体育健身 Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising brought no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advantage, but it was slight — about 4 pounds. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 1. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Necessary. B. Popular. C. Dangerous. D. Useless. 2. What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis? A. You will burn 140 calories every day. B. You will lose 4 pounds in a month. C. You might have a higher metabolic rate. D. You might eat more than usual. 3. Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up? A. They are unlikely to really enjoy it. B. They find it too challenging physically. C. They have difficulty resisting (抵抗) delicious food. D. They turn their attention to their well-being. 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. How long should you exercise a day to lose weight? B. What are the best exercises for losing weight? C. Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path D. Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers Passage 20-体育健身 Obesity(肥胖) has become a serious problem now. According to a recent survey, teenage obesity has increased at an alarming rate across America. Teenage obesity is mainly due to the increased consumption(消耗) of junk food which contains large amounts of fat. This has exposed the teens to a 14% greater risk of having a heart attack as well as seriously high blood pressure. Various causes of teen obesity have been claimed, the most important of which is being insufficient(不足) physical exercise on the teen’s part. It is argued that teens nowadays who lack(缺少) sufficient physical exercise topped with their unhealthy eating habits are more likely to be obese. Nowadays, a main part of the teenagers spend their spare time on the computer, television or perhaps simply playing games. This greatly limits any kind of physical activity of the teenager. According to a recent survey, around 43% of teenagers spend more than 2 hours watching television every single day. Long time inactivity in addition to the ill eating habits has increased the incidence(发生率) of obesity in teenagers even more. However, this does not mean that teens do not do enough exercise, but the amount which they do, is certainly not sufficient as compared to their intake of fatty foods. Besides this, parents need to change the whole lifestyle of the family in order to develop a healthier lifestyle of their children. The teenagers must also be encouraged to take part in other physical activities which require more effort; such as playing basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball and swimming. Meanwhile, the teenagers also need to be educated on the ill effects of junk food and must be asked to avoid them as much as possible. Their diet must also be made healthier and more balanced, which will help them in losing more weight quickly. For better guidance on reducing the teen’s weight quickly, parents can always turn to a doctor. 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Junk food is the main food for the American. B. American teenagers suffer from high blood pressure. C. The number of fatty American teenagers is increasing. D. Most American teenagers probably have heart disease. 2. What’s the most important reason for obesity among teenagers? A. Bad eating habits. B. Playing computer games. C. Lack of physical exercise. D. Watching TV programmes. 3. Why do teens taking part in exercise still get obese? A. The exercise they choose is too simple. B. The method they do exercise is improper. C. The energy they consume is less than that they take in. D. The time they spend doing sports is more than that spent on food. 4. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. Rules made for teens. B. Reasons for teen obesity. C. Suggestions offered to parents. D. Ways to deal with teen obesity.

It was my first day of classes at my senior high school. I felt like an ant at that huge school. I found my schedule and placed it next to the map. I had a biology class at 9:30 am in the BISIC building. I looked at my watch. It was 9:05 am, which gave me plenty of time, or so I thought. After walking around for 15 minutes, unable to find my way, I began to get very anxious. Just then a middle-aged woman in a bright purple dress approached(走近) me and asked me if I needed help. “Yes,” I said. “I am looking for the BISIC building.” A smile appeared on the lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, that is nearby!” She offered to direct me to my class, and I made it to my first class on time. The strange faces around me brought a sense of loneliness. I didn’t know one person in that great big class. When my last class came to a close, the nervousness of the day finally disappeared. It was finally time to go home. Along my walk, I recollected my classes and activities of the day and the new friends I had made. The comfort of arriving home was the best feeling that day. The day had so many things. All in all, I felt very thankful to have the chance to study in such a great high school. 1. What impressed the author most that morning? A. The online map. B.

The best way to plan for the future is to have an outline(草案) that is likely to change. After talking to a lot of college graduates about where they plan on going after college, you may find that those who seemed to have it all figured out(弄清楚) in high school ended up to be the most confused(困惑的). Sometimes the things you think you love don’t turn out to be as fun as you thought. So keep an open mind, and be ready to change directions. Outline for yourself, and most importantly, try new things. I’m only a junior in high school. My idea of what my future will look like will probably be wildly different in a few years. So I can’t tell you exactly what my plans for my future are. For now, the best I can do to provide a good foundation(基础) for my future is to pay attention to the shorter-term goals. I want to keep my grades high. I want to get a high SAT score. I’ve built this foundation of my own grades, and even my own hobbies that I am proud of. I have always loved three things: writing, math, and science. Time has gone on, and those things have gotten more specific (明确的). I’m sure as I get older those things will be more specific, but those are the things I enjoy. With these things, I’ve set a goal for myself, and I hope to achieve it. These are just plans, anyway. These are just ideas for how I think plans should be made for my own future. I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet. Maybe in two years, when I’ve graduated I could tell you more, but for now all I have are goals. 1. What advice does the author offer in Paragraph 2? A. Learn from the past. B. Make full use of your time. C. Be prepared to adapt to change. D. Have every moment of your life planned. 2. How are the author’s plans for his future? A. They will be achieved soon. B. They make him stressed. C. They are still unclear. D. They let him down. 3. For now, the author thinks he should not only get high scores but also ______. A. set an example to others B. develop his hobbies C. live a healthy life D. set a long-term goal 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To introduce his school life. B. To ask for help for his future. C. To talk about college graduates’ experience. D. To share his thoughts about making plans as a junior. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. D 【语篇导读】本文是说明文。作者认为应为高中生活制定较为宽泛的计划。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The best way to plan for the future is to have an outline (草案) that is likely to change.(为未来做计划的最好方法是有一个可能会改变的大纲)”和“So keep an open mind, and be ready to change directions. Outline for yourself, and most importantly, try new things.(所以保持开放的心态，准备好改变方向。为自己勾勒轮廓，最重要的是，尝试新事物)”可知，作者认为制定好的未来计划在实施中会发生各种变化，因此应该制定较为宽泛的计划来迎接可能发生的变化。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I’m only a junior in high school. My idea of what my future will look like will probably be wildly different in a few years. So I can’t tell you exactly what my plans for my future are.(我只是高中里的新生。几年后，我对未来的看法可能会大不相同。所以我不能告诉你我未来的计划是什么)”以及最后一段“I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet.(我希望我能告诉你更多，但我的人生还不够丰富)”可知，作者对自己未来的计划仍不太清楚。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve built this foundation of my own grades, and even my own hobbies that I am proud of.(我已经建立了自己的成绩，甚至我自己的爱好，我引以为傲的基础)”以及“With these things, I’ve set a goal for myself, and I hope to achieve it.(有了这些东西，我为自己设定了一个目标，我希望能实现它)”可知，作者认为当前阶段除了要打好基础、提高成绩外，还应该发展自己的兴趣爱好。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These are just plans, anyway. These are just ideas for how I think plans should be made for my own future. I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet. Maybe in two years, when I’ve graduated I could tell you more, but for now all I have are goals.(不管怎样，这些都只是计划。这些只是我认为应该如何为自己的未来制定计划的想法。我希望我能告诉你更多，但我的人生还不够丰富。也许两年后，当我毕业的时候，我可以告诉你更多，但现在我只有目标)”结合文章主要论述了作者认为应为高中生活制定较为宽泛的计划。故可知，作者想通过这篇文章与读者们分享自己对高中生制定计划的看法。故选D。 Passage 4 学校生活 Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life. To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence(信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels. 1. What does progress make us do? A. Set lifelong goals. B. Go forward easily. C. Think about new things. D. Live healthily and happily. 2. What does Paragraph 3 tell us? A. We should support different people. B. Some people can push us to failure. C. Confidence helps us make progress. D. Different schools expect the same progress. 3. What does the writer say about slow progress? A. It often goes smoothly. B. It always gives us a clear mind. C. It sometimes stops progress. D. It still means progress. 4. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. Ideas about Making Progress B. Keys to Speeding up Progress C. Meanings of Having Confidence D. Suggestions on Relationships 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 4. A 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。文章中作者表达了自己对于进步的看法以及如何取得更大的进步。 1. 细节理解题。由第一段中“Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. (取得任何进步都能让我们在生活中健康快乐)”可知，进步让我们健康快乐地生活。故选D项。 2. 主旨大意题。由第三段中“Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress. (有信心有助于我们取得进步。自信来自不同的地方，比如适当的教育、培训或良好的人际关系。我们也应该和那些相信我们成功并积极支持我们的人在一起。这些人可以帮助我们取得进步)”可知，第三段主要讲自信有助于我们取得进步。故选C项。 3. 细节理解题。由第四段中“Slow progress is still progress. (缓慢的进步仍然是进步)”可知，缓慢的进步仍然是进步。故选D项。 4. 主旨大意题。文章中作者表达了自己对于进步的看法以及如何取得更大的进步，A项“关于取得进展的看法”适合做标题。故选A项。 Passage 5 学校生活 (2024-2025学年高一上·江苏南通·开学练)Dr. Bhuvana, a special educator and therapist, once taught at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods. Parents were impressed by the improvements in their slow pupils and suggested Dr. Bhuvana start a special school for such children. Dr. Bhuvana came to the rescue of students with developmental disorders. In 1998, she opened Bridges Learning Vidyalaya to teach students with autism(自闭症) and other developmental disorders. There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart(传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective. The school has also trained teachers to teach the subjects in a friendly manner. Over the past 25 years, the school has educated over 6,000 slow students, many of whom are now doctors, managers and engineers working in big companies or have important careers. Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university. Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching. 1. What inspired Dr. Bhuvana to improve her teaching methods? A. The great potential of her poorly performing students. B. The constructive suggestions from some educators. C. The lack of parental guidance on students’ studies. D. The sharply different performances of her students. 2. What is a key characteristic of Bridges Learning Vidyalaya? A. Its aiming to train qualified teachers. B. Its objecting to testing a student’s IQ. C. Its teaching students according to their ability. D. Its providing therapies for students with mental disorders. 3. What can be known through the example of Suryanarayan? A. Choosing a suitable career is essential for everyone. B. Good grades usually come from parents’ encouragement. C. Parents are always overly worried about their children’s future. D. Proper teaching methods can have an important effect on students. 4. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Bhuvana? A. Energetic and cautious. B. Creative and caring. C. Faithful and cooperative. D. Innocent and simple-minded. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 4. B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Bhuvana博士是一位特殊的教育家和治疗师，她在课上发现了一些学生很迟钝，他们在吸收老师在课堂上所讲的内容时非常困难。所以Bhuvana博士改变了教学方法，并创办了一所特殊学校来帮助这些有发育障碍的学生。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三、四句话“During her classes, she observed that some students did not absorb the content as well as others or lacked understanding of specific topics. At times, they nodded their head but they did not actually grasp the meaning. She realized she needed to make a change instead of just sticking to the traditional teaching methods.(在课堂上，她观察到一些学生没有像其他学生那样很好地吸收内容，或者对特定主题缺乏理解。有时，他们会点点头，但实际上并没有领会其中的含义。她意识到自己需要做出改变，而不仅仅是坚持传统的教学方法)”可知，一些学生在课上和别人不同的表现激发Bhuvana博士改变了她的教学方法。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句话“There every child’s IQ is tested using Malin’s Intelligence Scale and classified into mild, moderate and severe groups. The school adopts unique teaching methods to impart (传授) knowledge and helps kids understand topics from a child’s perspective.(在那里，每个孩子的智商都使用马林智力量表进行测试，并分为轻度、中度和重度。学校采用独特的教学方法传授知识，帮助孩子从孩子的角度理解主题)”可知，Bridges Learning Vidyalaya的一个关键特征是他们对孩子进行了智力测试，根据测试的结果对孩子们的能力进行分类，再进行相应的教学。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Uthamanathan, the father of Suryanarayan, a student at the school, says, “My child was unwilling to go to a traditional school. His grades were low, and he failed to score beyond single-digit marks. We worried about his future. Fortunately, I learned about Dr. Bhuvana’s school and Suryanarayan was admitted into Class 4. Dr. Bhuvana chalked out a practical customized curriculum for him, which helped him develop an interest in studies. Now he is pursuing his MBA in a well-known university.(该校学生Suryanarayan的父亲Uthamanathan说：“我的孩子不愿意上传统学校。他的成绩很低，分数也没有超过个位数。我们担心他的未来。幸运的是，我了解了Bhuvana博士的学校，Suryanaraan被四班录取了。”。布瓦纳博士为他制定了一个实用的定制课程，这帮助他培养了对学习的兴趣。现在他正在一所知名大学攻读MBA)”可知，Bhuvana博士为Suryanarayan制定的课程帮助了他培养了对学习的兴趣，而且现在他正在知名大学读书。由此可推知，合适的教学方法对学生们有着重要的影响。故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Bhuvana says, “Parents always feel they need someone like me for their children, and I feel glad that I can help them. On some occasions, the pressures at various levels make me feel upset and burdened. But when a child learns well and hugs me in return, it gives me satisfaction and confidence. I draw energy from children’s love and my passion for teaching.(布瓦纳博士说:“父母总是觉得他们需要像我这样的人来照顾他们的孩子，我很高兴我能帮助他们。在某些情况下，不同程度的压力让我感到不安和负担。但当一个孩子学得很好，并拥抱我作为回报，这给了我满足感和信心。我从孩子们的爱和我对教学的热情中汲取能量。)”并通读全文可知，Bhuvana在课堂上发现了很多发育有障碍的学生在学习上有困难，为了帮助他们，她改变了自己教学方法。后来她创办了一所特殊学校，并为学生们量身定制课程。由此可推知，她是一个“有创造力并且关心他人”的人。故选B。 Passage 6-亲子关系 Make the Most of College Dear Daughter, As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.

Every day, my room was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my peaceful harbor. Today was no exception. As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. But I was still doubtful about it. Yesterday, around the mouth of my favorite figurine(小雕像) was a chocolate cookie. Obviously, Callie had enjoyed the cookie so much that she wanted to share it with my angel. I looked around for Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her, but I heard the TV blaring (发出声音) in the other room. As I examined the family room, I noticed it was pretty messy.

She promised to put a Callie-proof lock on my door tonight. I felt better, because I knew that soon my room would truly belong to me. However, I was still angry with my little sister so I went into the family room to tell her how she had made life unpleasant for me. “Callie... ” I started. “Hooray!” she shouted.

Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons. This love story began in Winchester Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year. Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed. 1. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A. The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true. B. The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution. C. The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation. D. The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment. 2. What’s discussed in the third paragraph? A. Why Rick became paralyzed. B. How Rick started running. C. Why running changed Rick’s life. D. How Rick communicated with others. 3. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A boy with a rare disease B. The greatest dad in the world C. A tough road to marathons D. Parents’ influence on children’s life 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲Dick和无法控制自己的手脚的儿子Rick一起跑步，从而改变了他们各自生活的故事。 1. 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句上文““He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. (里克九个月大的时候，医生对迪克和他的妻子朱迪说：“他这辈子都会是个植物人。”)”以及下文“They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. (他们注意到瑞克的目光跟随他们在房间里转来转去。)”可知，Hoyts不相信那是真的。A. The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true霍伊特夫妇不相信这是真的；B. The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution霍伊特夫妇负担不起任何机构；C. The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation霍伊特一家无法应付这种情况；D. The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment霍伊特夫妇没有钱给他们的儿子治病。故选A项。 2. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!” (瑞克11岁时，他们带他去了塔夫茨大学的工程系。有了电脑，瑞克终于能够与人交流了。一个高中同学在一次事故中瘫痪后，学校为他组织了一次慈善跑步活动，里克说：“爸爸，我也想这么做。”迪克，一个从来没有跑过超过一英里的人，怎么能强迫他的儿子跑五英里呢？尽管如此，他还是努力了。那一天改变了瑞克的一生。“爸爸，”他打字道，“当我们跑步的时候，我感觉自己不再是残疾人了！”)”可知，第三段主要关于瑞克是怎么开始跑步的。故选B项。 3. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed.

Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 1. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A. To know what they eat. B. To ask for some cookies and pudding. C. To relieve their loneliness. D. To teach them how to make dessert. 2. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hurt your hearing B. Blame other’s behaviors C. Miss important information D. Speak all the time 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother B. The author realized the value of her mother C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone D. The author’s mother still keeps connected with the seniors 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Seniors blessing B. A new project C. Nightly calls, lifeline calls D. Call your parents often 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者妈妈热心地给陌生老人打电话，作者从不理解到最后理解，作者意识到了妈妈的这一行为给无数居家老人的孤独生活带来了慰藉。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中““It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.”(她说道：“没关系，重要的是我在听”)”和最后一段的“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到，母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。没有她，他们的世界将是空虚的。)”可知，妈妈给老人打电话的目的是缓解他们的孤独感。故选C。 2. 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句子后的一句“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath(有些人都不会停下来喘口气)”可知，妈妈的朋友以及作者的两个姐妹会一直讲话，故划线短语“talk your ear off”意为“一直讲话”。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到，母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。没有她，他们的世界将是空虚的。)”可知，作者最终意识到了妈妈的努力是有价值的。故选B。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段的“It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make.(我花了三十多年的时间才完全理解这句话的含义。如今，我的母亲年近八十，我发现自己想起了她过去每晚打的那些电话。)”和“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world.(我意识到，母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。)”可知，文章主要讲述了妈妈利用晚上的时间给老年人打的电话以及这些电话对老年人的意义，故C项“Nightly calls, lifeline calls(晚间电话，生命的电话)”可作为文章标题，故选C。 Passage 10-亲子关系 Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him. Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don't want her to form the perception(看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have. Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations(局限) are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford. Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money. 1. What do you know about Ashish Khanna? A. Pocket money helps children develop better. B. He can have much control of his child by money. C. He was given too much pocket money when young. D. He will buy something he thinks his child really needs. 2. What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common? A. They allow their children to spend money freely. B.

And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not words with friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platform. In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need anyone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face. 1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To tell about true friends. B. To start a discussion. C. To encourage online friendships. D. To summarize(总结) the text. 2. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in paragraph 3? A. In any case. B. In public. C. In person. D. In advance. 3. What is Katie’s attitude toward online communication? A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Confused. 4. Which of the following is the Rosen’s view? A. Teenagers need to focus on real-world friendships. B. It’s easier to develop friendships in real life. C. It’s wise to turn to friends online. D. Social media help people stay closely connected. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A 【语篇导读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过具体事例谈论了网络交友的利与弊。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Twelve-year-old Catherine has a lot of friends—632, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(12 岁的 Catherine 有很多朋友，事实上，如果你把她的网上朋友算在内的话，她有 632 个。她花了很多时间和他们在一起)”和第二段中“But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely? (但是，Catherine 的网络友谊可能会让她感到孤独吗？)”可知，第一段的目的是为了引发下文的讨论。故选B项。 2. 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“Kids played Scrabble around a table, not words with friends on their phones. (孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是和朋友在手机上玩文字游戏)”说明那时的孩子们都是当面交流，从而推知划线词句“During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. (在你父母的童年时期，与朋友建立联系通常意味着与他们共度时光 in the flesh)”其中划线短语应为“当面”的意思。故选C项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第五段““There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. (“这绝对是一种积极的影响。孩子们可以保持不断的联系，这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多的感受，”《应用程序一代》的合著者凯蒂·戴维斯说)”可知，Katie 对网络交流的态度是积极乐观的。故选B项。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world, we will have little time for our real-world friendships(如果我们不断地与虚拟世界联系，我们将几乎没有时间与现实世界建立友谊)”等内容可知，Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界中的友谊。故选A项。 Passage 13-友谊 I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved to the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared of looking at each other. Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, riding bikes to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would sit at each other’s house, watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked. It was last year that I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression (临床抑郁症), and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister. Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself and that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ” We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if your friends need you, and you care about them, you should be always there for them. 1. Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met? A. Because they were playing a game. B. Because they didn’t like each other. C. Because they quarreled before. D.

Whenever Friday rolled around, it was a reminder that she had no one to spend her spare time with. “I was lonely,” said Cooke, who relocated from Stoke-on-Trent — a city in central England — to London when she was 22. “I moved here knowing no one.” She had high hopes of going to restaurants, bars and the theater as she had done before, but she didn’t want to do those activities alone. “I was desiring community: people who wanted to hang out and have fun,” said Cooke, now 26. She grew so eager for company, she said that she eventually found herself Googling: “How to make friends in London.” The search proved futile, though she found a few other women who were also lonely in London on some social media apps. Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London Lonely Girls Club,” and invited the people she connected with on the apps to join. She then asked everyone to meet for brunch (早午餐). “It was so difficult,” she said, adding that she asked a friend from out of town to come in for the brunch, in case no one else showed up. “Saying that you’re lonely and you don’t have people around, admitting to that was really scary.” Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they all got along well. This proved she was not alone in her loneliness, and that she could help others in the same situation. She decided to start planning meetups every few weeks, and word slowly spread about the Facebook group. Now, five years later, the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35,000 members. Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting friendships through her group. “It’s beautiful and rewarding, and it’s the reason I’ve carried on,” she said. “As long as there is a need, we will be here.” 1. What can we learn about Holly Cooke? A. She was alone because of being addicted to social media apps. B. She got used to the lifestyle of being alone on weekends. C.

The more I’ve thought about it, the more I believe: we should all live close to our friends. For the past century, the nuclear family, only including parents and children, has defined U.S. homes. But Americans lived with friends and extended family long before the nuclear family became common. Even now, this mode of living exists somewhere; think of college campuses, which tend to be the kind of walkable communities where you’re regularly running into pals on the street. While moving closer to friends would likely require a lot of efforts, doing so could actually be really good for you. Having supportive friends is connected with greater day-to-day happiness. Researchers have found that happiness spreads easily, especially among those who live close together. Friends living within a mile of each other are 25 percent more likely to feel happy, and their friends have a 10 percent chance of feeling happier too. Live around people who make you happy, and you might create a happiness circle that cheers up everyone around you. Having a pal around is also just practical. For people with kids, a friend in the neighborhood might be able to help with child care in times of need, saving you the cost of a last-minute babysitter. Those without children might welcome the chance to bond with friends’ kids. And for people who live alone, living closer to friends can make savings on some things easier. You might share household items you don’t need every day, for example. Whatever the reason, having more people you trust around will make it easier for you to get through difficult times. Many people are prepared to move for a new job, to be with a romantic partner, or even just for an adventure. Moving to be closer to friends should be no different. Friends are important to a good life. So why not shorten the distance between you and them? 1. Which was popular in the US before the nuclear family became common? A. The one-parent family. B. The extended family only. C. The college campus community. D. The family group with relatives and friends. 2. What do the percentages in Para. 3 show about living closer to friends? A. It spreads happiness among friends easily. B. It benefits one’s physical and mental health. C. It improves one’s awareness of family building. D. It increases one’s chances of making more new friends. 3. What is the practical advantage of living near friends? A. Greater personal growth. B. Lower living costs. C. More health care services. D. Better leisure activities. 4. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A. To advise living in nuclear families. B. To call on maintaining good friendships. C. To encourage people to live close to friends. D. To tell people how to turn friends into neighbors. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 4. C 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了与朋友住得近的好处，并鼓励人们搬到离朋友更近的地方居住。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Americans lived with friends and extended family long before the nuclear family became common.(但在核心家庭普及之前，美国人是和朋友及大家庭一起生活的。)”可知，在核心家庭普及之前，美国流行的是与亲戚和朋友一起生活的家庭群体。故选D。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers have found that happiness spreads easily, especially among those who live close together. Friends living within a mile of each other are 25 percent more likely to feel happy, and their friends have a 10 percent chance of feeling happier too.(研究人员发现，幸福感很容易传播，尤其是在那些住得很近的人之间。住在一英里以内的朋友感到幸福的可能性增加了25%，他们的朋友感到更幸福的可能性也增加了10%。)”可知，这些百分比数据表明，与朋友住得近会让幸福感在朋友之间更容易传播。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“And for people who live alone, living closer to friends can make savings on some things easier.

Moving to be closer to friends should be no different. Friends are important to a good life.

Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida. “A person’s scale mass(质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is. The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them. You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day. So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer. 1. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2? A. Your weight changes little during a day. B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors. C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight. D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat. 2. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months? A. You will weigh more. B. Your muscle mass will decrease. C. Your body fat will increase. D. Your body composition will change. 3. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body? A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds. C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds. 4. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Why Do We Gain Weight? B. How to Work Out Effectively? C. What Is the Composition of Our Body? D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain? 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食的同时，体重不降反增的原因。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句““A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says.(他说：“一个人的体表质量是肌肉、脂肪、骨头、血液，甚至是我们肺中携带的空气的组合。”)”可知，体重是肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液甚至肺里空气的质量总和。由此可推知，体重受多种因素影响。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease.(当你开始通过锻炼来改变你的身体组成——通过增加更多的肌肉量和减少体脂——你的体重可能会增加，而体脂率可能会降低。)”可推知，在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后，最有可能发生的是你的身体组成会发生变化。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight(水大约占一个人体重的65%到90%)”可知，人体的含水量约占人体体重的65%到90%。由此可知，体重150磅的人体内含水量应在(150×65%=97.5)磅至(150×90%=135)磅之间。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds? “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.(你是否一直在锻炼，饮食也很健康，但当你站在秤上时，秤上显示你胖了几磅？“这很正常，这并不意味着你的锻炼没有效果，”佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩的运动生理学家Jeffrey A. Dolgan说。)”和第二段的“Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.(在例行锻炼后，身体各个部位的质量百分比会立即发生15%的变化。所以，如果你在锻炼和健康饮食的同时体重增加，这可能不是你想的那种类型的体重增加。)”可知，文章主要分析了坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后体重不降反增的原因。D项“Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain?(为什么我锻炼后体重反而增加了？)”能概括文章主要内容，最适合作本文标题。故选D。 Passage 18-体育健身 Over the last half century, obesity(肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent. Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link(联系) between sugar consumption(消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline. “I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.” All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar — just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease. Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele. In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start. 1. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly. C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention. 2. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption? A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. 3. What does the study in JAMA want to show? A. Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain. C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. B 【语篇导读】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了肥胖率上升的现象，探讨了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系，以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响。 1. 词句猜测题。根据后文“In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent. (1962年，46%的美国成年人被认为超重。到2010年，这一数字跃升至75%。)”可知，在过去的半个世纪里，肥胖率从46%到75%，是直线上升的，推知skyrocketed为“急剧上升”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段““I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.” (心脏病专家约翰·霍普金斯说：“我认为我们还没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因。”“但有足够的证据表明，摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素。”)”可知，约翰·霍普金斯认为虽然没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因，但是有足够的证据表明，摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素，所以他对对糖摄入过多的态度是否定的。故选B项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段“All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar—just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease. (所有这些甜食似乎也会影响心脏。2014年发表在《美国医学会杂志：内科医学》(JAMA: Internal Medicine)上的一项研究中，研究人员将摄入大量添加糖(占每日总热量的17%至21%)的人与摄入较少糖(仅占总热量的8%)的人进行了比较。高糖组的人死于心脏病的风险高出38%。)”可知，《美国医学会杂志》上的这项研究想要说明心脏病与糖的摄入有关。故选C项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline. (肥胖是一个复杂的问题，有很多原因。但在可能的嫌疑人中，糖高居榜首。各种各样的研究表明糖的摄入和超重之间存在联系。随着糖摄入量的增加，我们的腰围也在增加。)”以及最后一段“In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start. (换句话说，我们有很多理由追求健康的体重。减少糖的摄入是一个很好的开始。)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系，以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响，所以B项“Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health(少吃糖——健康的良好开端)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 Passage 19-体育健身 Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising brought no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advantage, but it was slight — about 4 pounds. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 1. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Necessary. B. Popular. C. Dangerous. D. Useless. 2. What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis? A. You will burn 140 calories every day. B. You will lose 4 pounds in a month. C. You might have a higher metabolic rate. D. You might eat more than usual. 3. Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up? A. They are unlikely to really enjoy it. B. They find it too challenging physically. C. They have difficulty resisting (抵抗) delicious food. D. They turn their attention to their well-being. 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. How long should you exercise a day to lose weight? B. What are the best exercises for losing weight? C. Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path D. Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 4. C 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知并倡导人们用正确的态度对待锻炼。 1. 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda.(首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是futile。以步行为例。一个体重150磅的人步行30分钟平均会燃烧140卡路里左右。这相当于一罐苏打水——这对你投入的时间和精力来说并不是一个很大的回报。相比之下，不喝苏打水更容易减肥。)”可知，每天步行30分钟减肥效果不理想，说明运动对于减肥来说通常是无用的，futile意为“无用的(Useless)”。故选D项。 2. 细节理解题。由第四段中的“To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. (为了实现这一目标，一个150磅的人每天至少需要步行90分钟或跑步30分钟)”和“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”可知，当你每天跑步30分钟时，你的身体会渴望更多的食物，你可能比平时吃得多。故选D项。 3. 推理判断题。由第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼。也许运动减肥最大的问题是，它会把体育锻炼变成惩罚——这是我们为瘦身所付出的代价)”和“We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. (我们将运动视为对“坏”的一种自我惩罚。在这种情况下，我们不太可能长期坚持锻炼)”可知，人们往往把运动当成一种减肥的自我惩罚，所以他们并不喜欢运动，当运动不能达到人们的减肥预期时，人们经常停止锻炼，可得出想通过运动减肥的人经常放弃是因为他们不太可能真正享受运动。故选A项。 4. 主旨大意题。由第一段“Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. (我们中的许多人开始锻炼，希望能减掉多余的体重。毫无疑问，努力变得更积极是一件好事。但如果主要原因是减肥，你的决心很可能会落空)”，第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. (首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是徒劳的)”，第三段中的“When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. (当节食和运动相结合时，效果同样不显著)”，第四段中的“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”和第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼)”可知，文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知，即运动并不能有效地帮助减肥，C项“减肥：为什么运动是错误的道路”符合文意。故选C项。 Passage 20-体育健身 Obesity(肥胖) has become a serious problem now. According to a recent survey, teenage obesity has increased at an alarming rate across America. Teenage obesity is mainly due to the increased consumption(消耗) of junk food which contains large amounts of fat. This has exposed the teens to a 14% greater risk of having a heart attack as well as seriously high blood pressure. Various causes of teen obesity have been claimed, the most important of which is being insufficient(不足) physical exercise on the teen’s part. It is argued that teens nowadays who lack(缺少) sufficient physical exercise topped with their unhealthy eating habits are more likely to be obese. Nowadays, a main part of the teenagers spend their spare time on the computer, television or perhaps simply playing games. This greatly limits any kind of physical activity of the teenager. According to a recent survey, around 43% of teenagers spend more than 2 hours watching television every single day. Long time inactivity in addition to the ill eating habits has increased the incidence(发生率) of obesity in teenagers even more. However, this does not mean that teens do not do enough exercise, but the amount which they do, is certainly not sufficient as compared to their intake of fatty foods. Besides this, parents need to change the whole lifestyle of the family in order to develop a healthier lifestyle of their children. The teenagers must also be encouraged to take part in other physical activities which require more effort; such as playing basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball and swimming. Meanwhile, the teenagers also need to be educated on the ill effects of junk food and must be asked to avoid them as much as possible. Their diet must also be made healthier and more balanced, which will help them in losing more weight quickly. For better guidance on reducing the teen’s weight quickly, parents can always turn to a doctor. 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Junk food is the main food for the American. B. American teenagers suffer from high blood pressure. C. The number of fatty American teenagers is increasing. D. Most American teenagers probably have heart disease. 2. What’s the most important reason for obesity among teenagers? A. Bad eating habits. B. Playing computer games. C. Lack of physical exercise. D. Watching TV programmes. 3. Why do teens taking part in exercise still get obese? A. The exercise they choose is too simple. B. The method they do exercise is improper. C. The energy they consume is less than that they take in. D. The time they spend doing sports is more than that spent on food. 4. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. Rules made for teens. B. Reasons for teen obesity. C. Suggestions offered to parents. D. Ways to deal with teen obesity. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. C 4. D 【语篇导读】本文是篇说明文。青少年肥胖正在成为美国社会的一大问题，文章主要分析了其产生的原因和解决办法。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent survey, teenage obesity has increased at an alarming rate across America.”(根据最近的一项调查，美国青少年肥胖人数以惊人的速度增长。)可知，美国肥胖青少年的数量正在增长。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Various causes of teen obesity have been claimed, the most important of which is being insufficient (不足) physical exercise on the teen’s part.”(造成青少年肥胖的原因有很多，其中最重要的是青少年缺乏体育锻炼。)可知，造成青少年肥胖最重要的原因就是缺乏体育锻炼。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, this does not mean that teens do not do enough exercise, but the amount which they do, is certainly not sufficient as compared to their intake of fatty foods.”(然而，这并不意味着青少年没有做足够的运动，但是与他们摄入的高脂肪食物相比，他们做的运动量肯定是不够的。)可知，青少年虽然参加了体育锻炼，但还是会肥胖，主要是因为他们消耗的能量少于摄入的热量。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The teenagers must also be encouraged to take part in other physical activities...”(青少年也定要被鼓励参加其他体力活动……)、“Meanwhile, the teenagers also need to be educated on...”(同时，青少年也需要被教育……)、“Their diet must also be made healthier and more balanced, ”(他们的饮食也必须更健康、更均衡，)和“For better guidance on reducing the teen’s weight quickly, parents can always turn to a doctor.”(为了获得快速减轻青少年体重的更好指导，父母总是可以求助于医生。)可知，最后一段主要介绍了控制青少年肥胖的一些办法。故选D。 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
