If you could make use of all the power generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to reaching the 29.5 billion Watts consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. We take sport for granted, but do we ever consider its cost to the planet? From the water required to maintain the golf course during The Masters tournament to the hundreds of flights it takes to bring football fans to a World Cup, major sports events are not helping much in the fight against global heating. What's more, there is a lack of recognition within sport of its responsibilities and little discussion about possible solutions. This is strange given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is already having a negative impact on many sports. When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world's glaciers, he didn't realize it would become a race against climate change. “I thought glaciers are there forever.” When he arrived at the summit, Gadd was shocked, “The ice...wasn't there. The things I planned to climb were gone.” Global heating is noticeable in other sports. Amy Steel played professional net ball until she suffered from heatstroke after playing in 39°℃ conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. Not only that, but extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting events are more often delayed or cancelled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings. Yet sport can be a powerful motivator:it can unite whole nations behind its teams. Could sport have a role to play in driving climate awareness? Will Gadd and Amy Steel are among many athletes who think so. One thing is certain. Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a difference. 1.What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A.The energy impact of sports events. B.Bolt's contribution to the environment. C.The amount of power generated by athletes. D.The reason for energy consumption in sports. 2.Why does the writer use Will Gadd and Amy Steel as examples? A.They initiated climate-conscious sports. B.They sustained permanent injuries in sports. C.They fell victim to climate-related incidents. D.They achieved record-breaking performances. 3.What effect of global heating on sports is mentioned in the.text? A.Stricter facility restrictions. B.Substantial financial losses. C.Higher athlete training standards. D.Prolonged outdoor sports seasons. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Sports in the Climate Crisis B.Athletes Against Global Heating C.The Olympian Energy Dilemma D.The Environmental Cost of Outdoor Sports 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机与体育运动的关系，即气候危机中的体育运动。 1.A 解析：由文章第一段内容“在奥运会200米短跑决赛 中，尤塞恩 ·博尔特(Usain Bolt)耗费了大约10千卡的能 量赢得金牌，这个能量大约可以为一个60W 的旧灯泡供电 11分钟。如果你能利用奥运会期间所有运动员产生的所 有能量，你仍然无法达到运动员、观众和组织者在比赛期间总共消耗的295亿瓦特。我们认为体育运动是理所当然 的，但是我们有没有考虑过体育运动给地球带来的代价? ” 可知，第一段的重点是体育赛事对能量的影响。故选A。 2.C 解析：由文章第三段中“When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world's glaciers, he didn't realize it would become a race against climate change,”和第四段中 “Amy Steel played professional net ball until she suffered from heatstroke after playing in 39°C conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent.”可知，作者使用 二人成为气候相关事件的受害者作为例子，说明气候对运动员的影响。故选C。 3.B 解析：由文章第四段中“Not only that, but extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting events are more often delayed or cancelled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings.” 可知，全球变暖造成体育运动重大财务损失。故选B。 4.A 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段 中“Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a diference.” 可知，本文主要说明了气候危机与体育运动的 关系，即气候危机中的体育运动。故选A。 【知识补充】 1.sprint n,短跑比赛 2.roughly adv.大约，大致，差不多 3,conquer v.征 服 4.glacier n。冰 川 5.summit n.顶点，顶峰 6.decarbonize v.降低……的碳排放，使环保 【长难句分析】 If you could make use of all the power generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to reaching the 29.5 billion Watts consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. (第 一 段第 二句)句意：如果你能利用奥运会期间所有运动员产生的所有能量， 你仍然无法达到运动员、观众和组织者在比赛期间总共消耗 的295亿瓦特。 分析：generated by all the athletes during the Games是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 the power, consumed overall by the athletes也是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 the 29.5 billion Watts。 B 体裁 主题语境 词数 难 度 说明文 人与社会———科学与技术 366 ★★★ When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions,he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes. Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something . People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off. Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake. The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn't work for those who reached later stages of sleep. “Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset, ” says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. “It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.” The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase:moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha,associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“Edison was great,” Oudiette says,“and now we have a lot more to explore.” 5.What does the underlined phrase“was on to something”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Discovered the truth. B.Was absorbed in math puzzles. C.Started the experiment. D.Was engaged in laboratory work. 6.According to the research,the trick of promoting creativity lies in . A.gaining adequate deep sleep B,discovering the hidden rules of problems C.following Edison's life style D.waking up right after nodding off to sleep 7.Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers? A.To evaluate their sleep efficiency. B.To measure their amount of sleep. C.To assess their levels of intelligence. D.To compare their creative thinking abilities. 8.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.Supporting evidence for the research results. B.Potential application of the research findings. C.A further explanation of the research methods. D.A reasonable doubt about the research process. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员 通过复现爱迪生的方法发现，在打盹后马上醒来能促进人的 创造力。 5.A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Thomas Edison was somewhat right ... their chances of solving a math problem,”可推知，前面说科学家们重复了这个把戏，后面又说按照 他的方法，人们解决数学问题的几率增加了三倍，所以此 处表示爱迪生确实找到了一种方法。由此推知，画线词组 “was on to something”和“Discovered the truth”意恩相近。 故选A。 6.D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“The trick was to wake up when we start to doze off.”以及第三段中“By recording brain activity, they found that ... those who remained awake.”以及第四段中“The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn't work for those who reached later stages of sleep.”可知，促进创造力的诀窍在于在打盹后马上醒来。故选D。 7.D 解 析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“By recording brain activity ...those who remained awake.”可知，研究人员记录睡眠者的大脑活动是为了比较他们的创造性思维能力。故选D。 8.B 解析：段落大意题。根据第五段中“The study team also identified ... their brain waves in real time.”可知，第五段主 要讲了研究成果的潜在应用，能帮助人们进入创造性区域。故选B 。 【知识补充】 1. triple v.成为三倍，使增至三倍 2. transition n.过渡，转变 3. recruit v.吸收(新成员);征募(新兵) 4. 4.identify v.确认，认出，鉴定 5. doze off 打瞌睡，打盹 【长难句分析】 By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.(第三段第二句) 句意：通过记录大脑活动，他们发现那些在睡眠的第一阶段打盹并被打断的人比那些保持清醒的人更善于找到问题的隐藏钥匙。 分析：they是主语，found 是谓语，found 后面接的是宾语从 句，在宾语从句中，those是主语，who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep是定语从句，were 是宾语从句中的谓语动词，动词were 后 接 three times better ... than比较结构。 二、七选五 体裁 主题语境 词数 难度 说明文 人与社会——生活与学习 315 ★★★ The secret to stress relief:Why rest isn't a waste of time Stress is a modern epidemic, but among all the stress management strategies we are forgetting one essential remedy (疗法) — taking time for rest. For a long time, psychologists focused almost exclusively on what went on between our ears. 1 That was the field of medical doctors, physiotherapists and gym instructors. Recently, however, there has been a growing realization that the body and mind are deeply connected with each other. The most recent insights have revealed that our mental health is determined to a large extent by our physical condition. Studies have shown that our brain processes “psychological” pain — such as the kind that arises out of social exclusion — the same way it does physical pain. 2 It's apparent that there is no clear division between body and mind in the case of stress. You suffer more from stress when you are suffering from a flu. If you have a bad night's sleep, everything is more stressful the next day. But good news is that you can combat it by looking after your body. 3 A healthy sleeping pattern also offers protection against all kinds of psychological disorders, and a healthy diet is known to reduce stress. When you decide to do something about your stress levels, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, move to another country and so forth. 4 Moments of rest and relaxation ought to occupy a more significant place in our lives.These important moments should not be regarded as a kind of “breather” in between jobs but as a natural and fundamental part of our way of life. 5 We need to see it as crucial time that we use to build up our reserves. It is only when we fully embrace rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress and burnout. A.The body was not their responsibility. B.The first step is to take better care of your body, instead. C.In fact,you can even take an aspirin for that kind of pain. D.For example,physical exercise helps to relieve depression. E.You should ask if the health problems are caused by stress. F.They all concentrate only on anxiety,depression and as such. G.Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了休息对于缓解压力的重要性，并强调了身心之间的联系。 1.A 解析：上 文“For a long time, psychologists focused almost exclusively on what went on between our ears.”提出 心理学家只关注“耳朵之间发生的事情”,即“大脑里发生的事情”, A 项“The body was not their responsibility.”与上文 语意一致，说明心理学家只关心大脑，不关心身体。同时下文“That was the field of medical doctors, physiotherapists and gym instructors.”说明心理学家认为“身体”是医生、理 疗师和健身教练的领域，上下文语意连贯。故选A。 2.C 解析：上文“Studies have shown that our brain processes “psychological” pain — such as the kind that arises out of social exclusion — the same way it does physical pain.”提出大脑处理“心理”疼痛的身体疼痛的方式相同，C 项“In fact, you can even take an aspirin for that kind of pain.”承接上文，指出吃阿司匹林这种缓解身体疼痛的方式也可以用来 缓解“心理”疼痛，与上文语意一致，前后文语意连贯。故 选C。 3.D 解析：下文“A healthy sleeping pattern also offers protection against all kinds of psychological disorders, and a healthy diet is known to reduce stress,”中列举了几种预防各种心理障碍和缓解压力的方式，结合句中“also”可知，上下文之间是并列关系，说明上文中会提到一种方式。D 项“For example, physical exercise helps to relieve depression.”提出体育锻炼有助于缓解抑郁，与下文构成并列关系。同时这些举例照应前文“But good news is that you can combat it by looking after your body.”,是对其中如 何“照顾好自己的身体”的举例说明。故选 D。 4.B 解析：上文“When you decide to do something about your stress levels, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, move to another country and so forth.”否定了一些极端的做法，B项 “The first step is to take better care of your body,instead.”与上文构成转折关系，给出正确的建议，下文“Moments of rest and relaxation ought to occupy a more significant place in our lives.”承接B 项，说明如何更好地照顾你的身体，上下文语意连贯。故选B。 5.G 解析：根据指代关系和下文“We need to see it as crucial time that we use to build up our reserves.”中指示代词“ it ” 可推知，设空句应出现其指代对象，G 项“Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted.” 中“Getting enough rest”即其指代对象，是下文 所说的“建立储备的时间”,上下文语意连贯。故选G。 三、完形填空 体裁 主题语境 . 词 数 难 度 记叙文 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 236 ★★★ My mom enjoyed inviting people for Thanksgiving.
