When US teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life.
These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.
It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.
Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was a small baby and finally his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation (动力).
“If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said.
It was with that state of mind that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.
Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback , there’s a setup (安排),” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”
24. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ________.
A. was born a blind child B. gave up on himself for a while
C has great muscle memory D. is trying to find the cure for his disease
25. According to the article, Jake’s family members ________.
A. pity him deeply B. once lost trust in him
C. encouraged him to write the book D. admire his efforts and determination
26. The book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life, is to ________.
A. introduce good ways to get along with disabled people
B. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities
C. help people come up with better life goals
D. explain different meanings of “a happier life”
27. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Fight. B. Failure. C. Opportunity. D. Success.
C
The biggest challenge faced by travelers, especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady (稳定的) supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The easy to take washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while he was planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag which was worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage of his invention — dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (按摩揉洗) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity (容量) to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99 - dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
28. What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?
A. His job requirements. B. His career as a lawyer.
C. His interest in invention. D. His personal experience.
29. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well. B. An extra bag was required for dirty clothes.
C. The bag was not beautiful and fashionable. D. The cost of invention was high.
30. It can be inferred that the improved Scrubba Wash Pack ________.
A. turns out to be not environmentally friendly
B. will replace the traditional washing machine
C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
D. can encourage all people to travel a long distance
31. Which of the following is the best title?
A. The Biggest Challenge of a Traveler
B A New Washing Bag for Hikers
C. How Clothes Are Washed During a Hike
D. The Washing Machine: A Thing of The Past
D
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
32. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
33. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
34. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
35. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Make Exercise a Habit
The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. ____36____ So I will share some tips on how to make exercise a habit, helping you stay healthier in the long run.
Focus on the routine and not the results
These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. ____37____ Focus on creating and enjoying the habit. Try scheduling your works alongside one of the other routines you already have in place.
____38____
Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start.
Forget the “all or nothing” view
When it comes to exercise, the all or nothing approach does not serve you. Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. ____39____ Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. Just remember your results are from your every effort, not matter how small.
Find joy in your workouts
____40____ Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment.
A. Life happens sometimes.
B. Start with mini workouts
C. Build yourself workout time-zone
D. But in reality, it takes time for results to show.
E. Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun.
F. There is something magical that makes your plan work.
G. But after just a few weeks, they return to the regular number of people.

It was Emily’s turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.
“This summer I went to Bradley,” Emily announced. “It has a big market there. My mom bought a painting and I got a second-hand skateboard. What an impressive trip it was!”
“That’s not a trip,” Frank shouted loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair workshop.”
“Frank, no interrupting,” said Miss Clare, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily,” Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John’s horseback ride through the Great Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to anywhere,” Emily thought to herself. A sense of loss clouded her the whole day.
After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily’s skateboard came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.
She walked up with a smile, asking, “Why are you sitting here?” Emily lowered her head, tears welling up inside her eyes. “Want to talk about it?” Emily nodded, trying to avoid Miss Clare’ eyes. Bending down, Miss Clare said gently, “You know, Emily, we don’t always have to travel far to learn anything.”
注意:

【原文】W: Hello. This is FM 98.6. It’s been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in southeast England reached 26℃ by mid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours of lovely sunshine. But the weather is already beginning to change, I’m afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic and reach southwest England by early morning. The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler-eleven degrees or so — in the north. And now, let’s move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise up to twenty-three degrees.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。由Winter Camp中的“This camp is for children who have attended Residential Camp or Day Camp before.”(这个营地是为以前参加过Residential Camp或Day Camp的孩子准备的。)可知,这个营地是为以前参加过Residential Camp或Day Camp 的孩子准备的。所以Winter Camp是为以前的露营者准备的。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Residential Camp”部分的“Hosted in Lutherdale”(在卢瑟代尔举办)以及“Registration will open in early March and is due May 1st.”(注册将于3月初开始,截止日期为5月1日)可知,3月初可以注册的营地是Residential Camp,地点在Lutherdale。故选D。

When US teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life.
These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.
It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.
Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was a small baby and finally his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation (动力).
“If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said.
It was with that state of mind that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.
Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback , there’s a setup (安排),” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”
24. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ________.
A. was born a blind child B. gave up on himself for a while
C. has great muscle memory D. is trying to find the cure for his disease
25. According to the article, Jake’s family members ________.
A. pity him deeply B. once lost trust in him
C. encouraged him to write the book D. admire his efforts and determination
26. The book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life, is to ________.
A. introduce good ways to get along with disabled people
B. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities
C. help people come up with better life goals
D. explain different meanings of “a happier life”
27. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Fight. B. Failure. C. Opportunity. D. Success.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,Jake Olson在很小的时候就左眼失明,后来右眼也没有了视力。但是他凭借着以前的运动经历和肌肉记忆,失明后继续在学校队里打球。在业余时间里,他还会写书去激励人们不要被挫折失败吓倒,要努力去开发自己的潜能,使自己的人生更精彩。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.(很明显,作为一个有视力和肌肉记忆的人,他早期的运动经历——一遍又一遍地重复动作,直到它们成为第二天性——也使杰克打得很好)”可知,他的肌肉记忆力帮他在失明后继续打球,即Jake Olson有很强的肌肉记忆力,故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships.(Jack的父亲Brian Olson说,Jack一生所做的一切给家人留下了深刻的印象,包括向人们展示了他们可以克服困难)”可知,Jake的家人特别佩服他的毅力和决心,故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have(这是为了打开读者眼睛,让他们看到自己在生活中的真正潜力,并确保他们使用所有的能力)”可知,这本书的目的是激励人们去开发自己的潜能,故选B。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest(你最黑暗的时刻很快就会变成最光明的时刻)”可以推测,setbacke应该是和darkest hour相对应的,表示“失败”,故选B。
C
The biggest challenge faced by travelers, especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady (稳定的) supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The easy to take washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while he was planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag which was worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage of his invention — dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (按摩揉洗) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity (容量) to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99 - dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
28. What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?
A. His job requirements. B. His career as a lawyer.
C. His interest in invention. D. His personal experience.
29. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well. B. An extra bag was required for dirty clothes.
C. The bag was not beautiful and fashionable. D. The cost of invention was high.
30 It can be inferred that the improved Scrubba Wash Pack ________.
A. turns out to be not environmentally friendly
B. will replace the traditional washing machine
C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
D. can encourage all people to travel a long distance
31. Which of the following is the best title?
A. The Biggest Challenge of a Traveler
B. A New Washing Bag for Hikers
C. How Clothes Are Washed During a Hike
D. The Washing Machine: A Thing of The Past
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个发明——Scrubba洗衣包,它可以让旅行者在途中保持衣物干净。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“while he was planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. .(当时他正计划攀登乞力马扎罗山。由于包装空间有限,他从传统的洗衣板中获得灵感,制作了一个可以用来清洗衣服的包)”可知,Ash Newland的个人经历使他决心发明一种轻便的大容量洗衣包。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“He still saw a disadvantage of his invention—dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! (他仍然认为他的发明有一个缺点——脏衣服必须放在一个单独的袋子里随身携带)”可知,第一款洗衣包还需要用另一个背包来背脏衣服,这带来了许多不便。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!(最棒的是,这款99美元的包装将于今年晚些时候上市,重量只有300克,而且完全可折叠,不使用时很容易储存。有了Scrubba洗衣包,在外国城市闲逛寻找洗衣店,或购买洗衣机可能很快就会成为过去!)”推知,Scrubba洗衣包将会得到广大游客的青睐而被广泛使用。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“The biggest challenge faced by travelers, especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady(稳定的)supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.(旅行者,尤其是那些喜欢背包旅行的人,面临的最大挑战是如何确保干净衣服的稳定供应。现在,多亏了一种名为Scruba Wash Pack的伟大发明,这种担忧可能已经成为过去)”和下文介绍这款洗衣包的设计灵感、改进过程、使用方法和优势可知,本文旨在介绍一项伟大的发明——洗衣包。所以短文的标题为“一种新的徒步旅行者洗衣包”。故选B。
D
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
32. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
33. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
34. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
35. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。据本周一公布的a Common Sense Media report报告显示,青少年和年幼的孩子们读书的乐趣大大减少。文中从阅读的乐趣,阅读的时间,阅读方式和父母对孩子阅读的影响等角度展示了该报告的内容。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。题干问的是这篇报道可能是关于什么内容。根据整篇文章,我们可以看出这篇报道讲述了孩子们阅读的乐趣,孩子们阅读的时间,孩子们阅读方式和父母对孩子阅读的影响。A项意为:孩子们的阅读习惯;B项意为:孩子们所读书籍的质量;C项意为:孩子们的课后活动;D项意为:父母与孩子的关系。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.可知,很少为乐趣而阅读的人的比例已经分别从1984年的13岁的8%和17岁的9%上升到现在的22%和27%。也就是说,为乐趣而读书的人越来越少了。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time可知,许多家长仍然限制电子阅读,主要是由于担心看一些电子屏幕的时间越来越多,也即是担心会伤害孩子们的健康。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.可知,有明显的证据表明,父母为孩子们做榜样并为孩子们作重要指导能培养孩子的阅读习惯。也即是说,父母可以通过给孩子们作榜样来鼓励孩子们阅读的。故选A。
【点睛】作此类型的题时,一定要读懂第一段。第一段读懂了,整篇文章大意也就迎刃而解了。明白了大意,第28题我们也不难看出答案,本文讲的肯定不是质量,不是活动也不是关系。而是习惯,即孩子们的阅读习惯。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Make Exercise a Habit
The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. ____36____ So I will share some tips on how to make exercise a habit, helping you stay healthier in the long run.
Focus on the routine and not the results
These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. ____37____ Focus on creating and enjoying the habit. Try scheduling your works alongside one of the other routines you already have in place.
____38____
Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start.
Forget the “all or nothing” view
When it comes to exercise, the all or nothing approach does not serve you. Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. ____39____ Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. Just remember your results are from your every effort, not matter how small.
Find joy in your workouts
____40____ Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment.
A. Life happens sometimes.
B. Start with mini workouts
C. Build yourself workout time-zone
D. But in reality, it takes time for results to show.
E. Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun.
F. There is something magical that makes your plan work.
G. But after just a few weeks, they return to the regular number of people.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何养成运动习惯提出建议。
【36题详解】
前文“The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. (在新的一年里,似乎每个人都制定了锻炼和健身的目标。但到了1月的第三周,这一切似乎都烟消云散了。)”提出人们很快就会忘记自己的锻炼和健身目标这一社会现象,作者在上文“I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. (我几乎每年都看到这种情况发生:我的健身课上挤满了新面孔……)”中用自己的亲眼目睹的情况来印证这一事实,G项“But after just a few weeks, they return to the regular number of people. (但仅仅几周后,人数就会恢复到正常水平。)”承接上文,说明新年开始确实会有很多新人参加锻炼,但他们很快又会消失,与前文语意一致。故选G项。
【37题详解】
上文“These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. (如今,感觉每个人都在寻找快速解决或快速的结果,特别是在健康和健身方面。)”提出人们都想找到捷径,对于健康和健身也是如此,D项“But in reality, it takes time for results to show. (但在现实中,结果需要时间才能显现。)”与上文构成转折关系,指出这一想法的不切实际,因为结果需要时间,照应小标题“关注过程,而不是结果”。故选D项。
【38题详解】
设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start. (每个人似乎都想设定一个大目标,每周锻炼4次,每次60分钟。但实际上,如果你不习惯这样做,它只会让你难以承受,最终导致你放弃。考虑到这一点,即使是5-10分钟的小锻炼也是一个很好的开始。)”可知,本段建议从小锻炼开始,B项“Start with mini workouts (从小型锻炼开始)”是本段内容的最佳概括。故选B项。
【39题详解】
上文“Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. (比如说你计划今天锻炼,但是工作上的事情变得很疯狂,你错过了预定的时间。这并不意味着你失败了。)”讲我们可能因为工作而错过锻炼,但这并不意味着失败。A项“Life happens sometimes. (生活中总会发生意外。)”和下文“Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. (即使你错过了锻炼,也不意味着你已经放弃了。)”重复了上文文意,强调不要放弃,上下文语意一致。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment. (不要仅仅因为流行或者人人都在做某一种运动,就把自己限定在这种运动中。适合你的锻炼会提升你的动力和乐趣。)”可知,选择锻炼形式不能跟风,要寻找适合自己并能带来乐趣的锻炼方式,这是对E项“Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun. (不断探索,直到找到一种你觉得有趣的锻炼方式。)”观点的诠释,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

It was Emily’s turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.
“This summer I went to Bradley,” Emily announced. “It has a big market there. My mom bought a painting and I got a second-hand skateboard. What an impressive trip it was!”
“That’s not a trip,” Frank shouted loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair workshop.”
“Frank, no interrupting,” said Miss Clare, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily,” Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John’s horseback ride through the Great Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to anywhere,” Emily thought to herself. A sense of loss clouded her the whole day.
After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily’s skateboard came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.
She walked up with a smile, asking, “Why are you sitting here?” Emily lowered her head, tears welling up inside her eyes. “Want to talk about it?” Emily nodded, trying to avoid Miss Clare’ eyes. Bending down, Miss Clare said gently, “You know, Emily, we don’t always have to travel far to learn anything.”

【答案】One possible version:
At this moment, Frank was walking by and saw them. Noticing Emily’s teary eyes, Frank swallowed what he had intended to say. A sense of guilt seized him and he stood there, frozen. Miss Clare patted him and encouraged, “An apology never comes late.” Hearing this, Frank raised his eyebrows and said sincerely, “I shouldn’t have said that. Sorry.” Emily looked down at her skateboard, wiped her tears and murmured, “Actually, that’s OK.” spinning the loose wheel.
“I can fix it,” Frank said with confidence. Grabbing her skateboard, he tightened the screws skillfully in no time. Soon enough, he looked up and handed the skateboard to Emily. To her surprise, it was working well again. A slight smile lifted, “Thanks.” On hearing this, Frank felt a wave of relief flooding into his heart. “I help my dad fix things all the time. You know, I didn’t go anywhere either this summer,” he said. Then they three looked at each other and burst into laughter. It was at that moment that both Emily and Frank truly understood they did not have to travel far to learn anything new.
