Since September, many schools have increased the number of PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.
Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports.
“At first tai chi was only needed during break time to promote Chinese traditional culture, but students gradually fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Senior 1 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi contest every year for Senior 2 students. “Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class,” said Gao.
“I really enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a high school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can sign up.” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren.
36. How many kinds of exercises are mostly talked about in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
37. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. According to the new standard, PE is even more important than math and Chinese.
B. With Ma as a role model, students are only hard-working onjump rope.
C. Students with no experience can’t sign up for the hip-hop dance class.
D. Tai chi may calm students down and get them ready for the next class.
38. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Ren Jianing really enjoys hip-hop dance.
B. There is a tai chi contest for Senior 1 students.
C. Students may be hard-working in hip-hop classes.
D. Schools should try to provide fewer ball games.
39. What’s the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph (段落) 1= ① Paragraph 2= ② …)
A. B.
C. D.
40. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. PE Gets More and More Important
B. How to be Healthy in PE Class
C. China’s New Standard on Classes
D. What was the PE Class Like
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. C 39. C 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了学校为了响应国家关于体育课的新标准,增加了每周体育课的节数,并介绍了不同学校的学生都有不同程度的受益。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。文章主要介绍的运动有第三段的“the most consecutive jump rope triples”跳绳运动,第四段的“tai chi”太极运动,以及第五段的“hip-hop dance”街舞,因此主要谈论了三种运动。故选C。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class.”可知,太极能让学生冷静和放松思维,为下节课做准备。D选项正确。故选D。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段末尾的“Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter.”可知,尽管是冬日里最冷的日子,衣服在课后都是潮湿的,由此能推断出学生在课堂上是努力跳舞,挥洒出汗水。C选项符合。故选C。
【39题详解】
段落结构题。从第一段的“This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes.”可知,学校在响应国家体育课新标准,这是介绍了文章的背景;从第二段的“the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.”可知,学校也要求学生做其他受欢迎的运动,引出了下文三种受欢迎的运动:跳绳,太极和跳舞。因此文章第一第二段可归为一部分,引出了后文,后面三段同为并列结构,介绍了三种不同的运动。故选C。
【40题详解】
标题归纳题。根据文章的开头“The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.”可知,体育课占据了课堂时间的10%到11%,仅次于语文和数学,由此能看出体育科目正在变得越来越重要。故选A。

Dear friend,
I want to tell you about Yuri. Yuri is a young brown bear. He was born in winter. His mother was hibernating (冬眠) in a den (窝), deep inside the Russian forest. Outside it was cold and everything was covered with snow. Inside the den with his mother, however, Yuri felt safe and warm.
One day, some hunters came. Dogs were sent into the den. Yuri’s mother was woken up. She tried to protect Yuri, but when she came out of the den, she was shot by the hunters. Every year between 3,000 and 4,000 brown bears are killed like this. There are only 120,000 brown bears in Russia today. Their meat and fur (毛皮) are sold for thousands of dollars while the young bears are usually just left to die.
Yuri, however, was lucky. He was found by one of the hunters and was taken to the Orphan (孤儿) Bear Rescue (营救) Center. Here, Yuri will be looked after like other orphan bears. When they are old enough, they will be taken to a nature reserve (保护区) in Bryansk. So far, over 200 young bears have been saved, raised and returned to the wild by the rescue center.
We want to save more. That’s why I’m writing to you now. Money is needed for food, transport and for people to look after the young bears. Yuri and his friends need your help.
Yours,
Fred O’Regan

The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term of the year, began this year on Sept 7 and ends on Sept 21. White Dew means the real beginning of cool autumn.
From the first day of White Dew and as the season goes on, there is more and more dew. Although sunshine during the day makes it still hot, after sunset, the temperature drops rapidly. At night, water vapor (水汽) in the air turns into white dew on flowers, grass and trees when it meets cold temperatures. Here are some customs you should know about White Dew.
Eating sweet potatoes
Many Chinese believe that the best food during White Dew is sweet potatoes. In the old days, farmers had the custom of eating sweet potato on the first day of White Dew. Besides being the No.1 vegetable against cancer, according to Chinese medicine, sweet potato can prolong life and reduce the risks of disease.
Playing with swallow carts (玩燕子车山)

Since September, many schools have increased the number of PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.
Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports.
“At first tai chi was only needed during break time to promote Chinese traditional culture, but students gradually fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Senior 1 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi contest every year for Senior 2 students. “Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class,” said Gao.
“I really enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a high school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can sign up.” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren.
36. How many kinds of exercises are mostly talked about in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
37. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. According to the new standard, PE is even more important than math and Chinese.
B. With Ma as a role model, students are only hard-working onjump rope.
C. Students with no experience can’t sign up for the hip-hop dance class.
D. Tai chi may calm students down and get them ready for the next class.
38. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A Ren Jianing really enjoys hip-hop dance.
B. There is a tai chi contest for Senior 1 students.
C. Students may be hard-working in hip-hop classes.
D. Schools should try to provide fewer ball games.
39. What’s the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph (段落) 1= ① Paragraph 2= ② …)
A. B.
C. D.
40. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. PE Gets More and More Important
B. How to be Healthy in PE Class
C. China’s New Standard on Classes
D. What was the PE Class Like

Dear friend,
I want to tell you about Yuri. Yuri is a young brown bear. He was born in winter. His mother was hibernating (冬眠) in a den (窝), deep inside the Russian forest. Outside it was cold and everything was covered with snow. Inside the den with his mother, however, Yuri felt safe and warm.
One day, some hunters came. Dogs were sent into the den. Yuri’s mother was woken up. She tried to protect Yuri, but when she came out of the den, she was shot by the hunters. Every year between 3,000 and 4,000 brown bears are killed like this. There are only 120,000 brown bears in Russia today. Their meat and fur (毛皮) are sold for thousands of dollars while the young bears are usually just left to die.
Yuri, however, was lucky. He was found by one of the hunters and was taken to the Orphan (孤儿) Bear Rescue (营救) Center. Here, Yuri will be looked after like other orphan bears. When they are old enough, they will be taken to a nature reserve (保护区) in Bryansk. So far, over 200 young bears have been saved, raised and returned to the wild by the rescue center.
We want to save more. That’s why I’m writing to you now. Money is needed for food, transport and for people to look after the young bears. Yuri and his friends need your help.
Yours,
Fred O’Regan

The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term of the year, began this year on Sept 7 and ends on Sept 21. White Dew means the real beginning of cool autumn.
From the first day of White Dew and as the season goes on, there is more and more dew. Although sunshine during the day makes it still hot, after sunset, the temperature drops rapidly. At night, water vapor (水汽) in the air turns into white dew on flowers, grass and trees when it meets cold temperatures. Here are some customs you should know about White Dew.
Eating sweet potatoes
Many Chinese believe that the best food during White Dew is sweet potatoes. In the old days, farmers had the custom of eating sweet potato on the first day of White Dew. Besides being the No.1 vegetable against cancer, according to Chinese medicine, sweet potato can prolong life and reduce the risks of disease.
Playing with swallow carts (玩燕子车山)
In Tancheng county, East China’s Shandong province, children play with swallow carts, a wooden cart in the shape of a swallow on the first day of White Dew. Pushing the swallow carts while running can help the children keep away from the cold and improve their physical health.
Offering sacrifices to Da Yu (祭祀大禹)
White Dew is a time for people in the Taihu Lake area of East China to offer sacrifices to Da Yu, a hero who tamed floods (治水) by guiding water into river and river into sea. The method of taming floods has been still used today by Chinese.
The customs of White Dew show the ancients’ understanding of Chinese traditional culture and nature, as well as their hope of a healthy life.
