Maybe they can become little kitchen helpers as long as they can hold a spoon. When they can hold a carrot stick or pick up something small with their tiny fingers, it is the time for kids to learn to like vegetables. As they get older, kids can help to prepare one or more favorite meals each week. And finally, they may take a turn as the main chef (厨师). For some kids, it’s surprising to learn that soup doesn’t just come from a can and that pizza doesn’t always come in a box. In fact, pizzas don’t need to be fatty or oily — they can be a healthy way pack lots of vegetables into family menus. If kids don’t like homemade soups or cooked vegetables, they may become more “vegetable friendly” when they help with preparation. To start, they can wash carrots. When they are older and can use knives safely, they may help with cutting. You’ll find that they’ve eaten half the carrot long before you start cooking the soup. Besides, getting kids to help with cooking can make Mom or Dad free from feeling like a short-order(快餐) cook. For parents, your job is to make sure there are safe cooking plans to protect the kids from getting hurt. Find ways to help kids take part in cooking more actively. You can describe what they are doing, tell them where food comes from, raise questions to encourage them to talk more, etc. 4. What does the author say in the first paragraph? A. Kids like to cook for themselves. B. It’s natural for kids to enjoy cooking. C. Older kids are able to cook by themselves. D. It’s never too early to get kids to help with cooking. 5. What can kids learn while helping with cooking according to the text? A. How to use knives safely. B. How to make a short order. C. How to eat in a healthy way. D. How to choose food for the family. 6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To share experience. B. To give parents advice. C. To offer cooking methods. D. To give parents encouragement. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Kids Can Cook B. Cooking at Home C. Learning to Cook a Meal D. Parents Are Short-Order Cooks 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要表达了可以从小培养孩子学习做饭观点，讲述了这样做的好处，并给出了一定的建议。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Maybe they can become little kitchen helpers as long as they can hold a spoon.(也许他们可以成为厨房的小帮手，只要他们能拿着勺子。)”可知，作者认为孩子从可以拿勺子开始，就可以帮厨了，说明让他们帮助做饭再早也不为过。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, pizzas don’t need to be fatty or oily — they can be a healthy way pack lots of vegetables into family menus.(事实上，披萨不需要脂肪或油——它们可以是一种健康的方式，在家庭菜单中加入大量的蔬菜。)”可知，孩子们在帮助做饭时，可以学会如何健康饮食。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For parents, your job is to make sure there are safe cooking plans to protect the kids from getting hurt. Find ways to help kids take part in cooking more actively. You can describe what they are doing, tell them where food comes from, raise questions to encourage them to talk more, etc.(对于父母来说，你的工作是确保有安全的烹饪计划，以保护孩子免受伤害。想办法帮助孩子更积极地参与到烹饪中来。你可以描述他们在做什么，告诉他们食物从哪里来，提出问题鼓励他们多说话，等等。)”可知，该段对如何让孩子积极主动并安全地参与帮厨方面，给家长提出了一些建议。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Would you like your kids to have fun in the kitchen while learning to make healthy foods for themselves?Maybe they can become little kitchen helpers as long as they can hold a spoon.(你想让你的孩子在厨房里玩得开心，同时学习为自己做健康的食物吗？也许他们可以成为厨房的小帮手，只要他们能拿着勺子。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了孩子可以从小学习做饭的观点，以及这样做的好处。故选A。 C Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi, Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school. He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship. However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class. “Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath. The 28-year-old man desires to help the less fortunate in society have access to justice. 8. What bothered Moturi most after he gained admission to the KSL? A. Losing his day job. B. Lacking school fees. C. Feeding his family. D. Failing in his final exams. 9. Why did Moturi decide to score at least a credit? A. To enable his boss to sponsor him. B. To succeed in obtaining the scholarship. C. To graduate from the KSL ahead of time. D. To qualify for admission for a law degree. 10. How did Moturi support himself while studying in the KSL? A. By selling daily articles. B. By offering car washing service. C. By serving as a night watchman. D. By asking his family for financial help. 11. Which of the following can best describe Peterson Moturi? A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Imaginative. D. Generous. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了肯尼亚人莫图里为实现读法学院的目标靠做保安等工作不懈奋斗的故事。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段“He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees.(他在2016年申请了肯尼亚法学院（KSL），并获得了成功，但他面临的最头疼的问题是他没有足够的钱支付学费。)”可知，莫图里被肯尼亚法学院录取后，最困扰他的事情就是没有足够的钱支付学费。故选B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses.(不幸的是，当他参加期末考试时，他获得了及格，这不能让他进入下一个阶段，获得法律学位。这意味着他至少要拿到一个学分，还要有钱支付文凭课程的学费。)”和最后一段“I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate(我现在可以继续前进，攻读法律学位，成为一名律师)”可知，需要获得至少一个学分才有资格攻读法学学位，所以莫图里才做出这样的决定，以实现当律师的目标。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第一段“before becoming a watchman for night duties(在成为夜间值班的保安之前)”以及第三段“approach his employer, Radar Security, for help(向他的雇主雷达安全公司寻求帮助)”和最后一段“due to the security guard uniform he wore underneath(因为他里面穿的是保安制服)”可推知，在法学院学习期间他是靠做夜间保安员来养活自己的。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了莫图里为实现读法学院的目标，面对困境永不放弃，克服了重重苦难，最终如愿以偿，说明他是一位意志非常坚定的人。故选A。 D Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life. Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating. Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much. Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. Next time you play your favourite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 12. What are children expected to learn through playing hide-and-seek? A. Be a team leader. B. Obey the basic rules. C. Act as a grown-up. D. Predict possible danger. 13. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Games can describe life in an exciting way. B. Games can turn real-life experiences into a play. C. Games can make learning life skills more interesting. D. Games can change people’s views of sporting events. 14. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging? A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country. B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners. C. It helps the country out of natural disasters. D. It earns the winners fame and fortune. 15. What’s Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation? A. Bringing fun to poor kids. B. Providing soccer balls for children. C. Giving poor kids a chance for a better life. D. Attracting soccer players to help poor kids. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过列举不同类型的游戏和体育运动，如儿童玩的跳绳、捉迷藏，奥运会以及足球运动等，条理清晰地阐述了游戏和体育运动的意义和价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating. (这样的游戏既有趣又好玩。但也许更重要的是，他们将生活转化为激动人心的戏剧，教孩子们一些他们余生应该遵循的基本规则，例如轮流和合作。)”可知，孩子们通过玩捉迷藏可以学到遵守基本规则，故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句理解题。根据第二段中划线部分上文“Such games are entertaining and fun.(这样的游戏既有趣又好玩。)”以及下文“ that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating. (教给孩子们一些他们在以后的生活中需要遵守的基本规则，比如轮流和合作。)”可知，这些既有趣又好玩的游戏让孩子在玩的同时也教会孩子们在以后生活中要遵守的一些基本规则；由此可知，划线部分they translate life into exciting dramas表达意思是：游戏让孩子可以通过玩来学到生活的一些技能，起到寓教于乐的作用，即游戏能让学习生活技能变得更有趣。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. (许多运动鼓励民族或地方自豪感。最著名的运动会是奥林匹克运动会，来自世界各地的运动员齐聚一堂，参加友谊赛。)”可知，很多运动能激发民族或地方自豪感，奥运会上金牌是整个国家的胜利，这会激发人们对国家的热爱，所以赢得奥运奖牌令人鼓舞是因为它激发了人们对国家的热爱。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. (他创建了一个基金会，不仅为贫困儿童提供足球，还为他们提供充满希望的未来。)”可知，他成立基金会的目标是给贫困孩子一个过上更好生活的机会。故选C项。 E Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 16. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 17. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 18. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 19. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。)”可知，Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。列举了早晨锻炼对人体的四条好处，号召人们早点起床，进行身体锻炼。 【20题详解】 根据空前的内容“生活忙碌没有时间锻炼”和空后的内容“晨练除了身体健康之外，还能带来其他好处”，下文接着列举了晨练的其他好处。由此可知，此处缺一个承上启下句。G项中then listen up!（那么请仔细听!）很好的起到了承上启下的作用。故选G。 【21题详解】 根据上一句Exercising makes you more awake（锻炼能让你更清醒），E项（你可以在运动后保持头脑清醒4-10个小时。）是对上一句的进一步解释。故选E。 【22题详解】 空前句子是本段的主题句，晨练是新陈代谢的开始，空后句子说如果晨练，则你会得到卡路里一整天都在燃烧的益处，F项（锻炼之后，你一整天都在燃烧卡路里。）是空后句子的根据，空后句子是对F项的进一步延伸。故选F。 【23题详解】 此处缺一个主题句。空后句子解释了早起锻炼的人比晚上锻炼的人睡得更好。B项（你的睡眠质量提高了。）是对后面内容的总述。故选B。 【24题详解】 根据空后句子“If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day.（如果你在早晨锻炼身体，你将更有可能坚持健康的食物选择。）”，A项(你将坚持你的饮食。)符合本段内容，是主题句，起到统领下文的作用。故选A。 【点睛】七选五题型，要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。本篇文章采用总分总的结构，第一段和最后一段是总述，中间是分述，中间每段都是主题句加分述句构成。 第三部分语言知识运用(共三节，满分 40 分) 第一节(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was depressed by my job as a joker (小丑).

Maybe they can become little kitchen helpers as long as they can hold a spoon. When they can hold a carrot stick or pick up something small with their tiny fingers, it is the time for kids to learn to like vegetables. As they get older, kids can help to prepare one or more favorite meals each week. And finally, they may take a turn as the main chef (厨师). For some kids, it’s surprising to learn that soup doesn’t just come from a can and that pizza doesn’t always come in a box. In fact, pizzas don’t need to be fatty or oily — they can be a healthy way pack lots of vegetables into family menus. If kids don’t like homemade soups or cooked vegetables, they may become more “vegetable friendly” when they help with preparation. To start, they can wash carrots. When they are older and can use knives safely, they may help with cutting. You’ll find that they’ve eaten half the carrot long before you start cooking the soup. Besides, getting kids to help with cooking can make Mom or Dad free from feeling like a short-order(快餐) cook. For parents, your job is to make sure there are safe cooking plans to protect the kids from getting hurt. Find ways to help kids take part in cooking more actively. You can describe what they are doing, tell them where food comes from, raise questions to encourage them to talk more, etc. 4. What does the author say in the first paragraph? A. Kids like to cook for themselves. B. It’s natural for kids to enjoy cooking. C. Older kids are able to cook by themselves. D. It’s never too early to get kids to help with cooking. 5. What can kids learn while helping with cooking according to the text? A. How to use knives safely. B. How to make a short order. C. How to eat in a healthy way. D. How to choose food for the family. 6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To share experience. B. To give parents advice. C. To offer cooking methods. D. To give parents encouragement. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Kids Can Cook B. Cooking at Home C. Learning to Cook a Meal D. Parents Are Short-Order Cooks C Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi, Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school. He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship. However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class. “Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath. The 28-year-old man desires to help the less fortunate in society have access to justice. 8. What bothered Moturi most after he gained admission to the KSL? A. Losing his day job. B. Lacking school fees. C. Feeding his family. D. Failing in his final exams. 9. Why did Moturi decide to score at least a credit? A. To enable his boss to sponsor him. B. To succeed in obtaining the scholarship. C. To graduate from the KSL ahead of time. D. To qualify for admission for a law degree. 10. How did Moturi support himself while studying in the KSL? A. By selling daily articles. B. By offering car washing service. C. By serving as a night watchman. D. By asking his family for financial help. 11. Which of the following can best describe Peterson Moturi? A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Imaginative. D. Generous. D Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life. Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating. Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much. Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. Next time you play your favourite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 12. What are children expected to learn through playing hide-and-seek? A. Be a team leader. B. Obey the basic rules. C. Act as a grown-up. D. Predict possible danger. 13. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Games can describe life in an exciting way. B. Games can turn real-life experiences into a play. C. Games can make learning life skills more interesting. D. Games can change people’s views of sporting events. 14. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging? A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country. B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners. C. It helps the country out of natural disasters. D. It earns the winners fame and fortune. 15. What’s Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation? A. Bringing fun to poor kids. B. Providing soccer balls for children. C. Giving poor kids a chance for a better life. D. Attracting soccer players to help poor kids. E Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 16. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 17. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 18. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 19. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!
