单元限时训练(二)　A卷 (限时40分钟) [对应学生用书P147] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Looking for a fun World Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. The new “sport” is becoming extremely popular with runners worldwide, many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media. Originated from the word jogging and “plocka upp”， a Swedish expression which means “pick up”， plogging is the idea of Erik Alström. In 2016, after moving to Stockholm, Alström became increasingly agitated at the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work. Since picking up litter while on his bike was hard to do, Alström began making the activity part of his daily runs. “I was shocked by the amount of junk along the way，” he said, “The same trash could remain on the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up, so I started picking it up.” Other joggers soon joined Alström, and, by the end of 2016, the activity became so popular that official “plogging” events, with groups of runners entering, began appearing suddenly all across Sweden. As plogging began turning up on social media, the new “sport” started to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide. The official online “Plogga” group now has members from over 40 countries, all the way from the United States to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action, posting photos of themselves after going plogging together or holding competitions that reward the runner with the heaviest trash bag. According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, a person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour. This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging. So, why not put on your running shoes, take a trash bag or two and make every day World Earth Day?

The word“yoga” comes from Sanskrit(梵文) and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It's not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself nature and the world. There is no written record of who invented yoga. Yoga practitioners(从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2，000 and 2，500 years ago. Various yoga types give you multiple choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellent for beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience. In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non­communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep.

C　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non­communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes.”可知，近年来，世界卫生组织(WHO)敦促各国帮助公民减少运动的不足，而运动不足是全世界十大主要死因之一，也是导致非传染性疾病(如癌症和糖尿病)的关键风险因素。因此从最后一段我们可以推断出很少或不做运动会使人们的健康受到威胁。] Ⅱ.七选五 Homework Do maths problems 15 through 25.State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet. Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights—or maybe even just for tonight? 1 It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts. Here are some tips on how to do your homework. 2 It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can—but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 3 But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done! Most people's attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15­minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 4 Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack—there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 5 Now you're free to hang out. A．Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework. B．Homework is a major part of going to school. C．No one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles. D．If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice. E．But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop. F．And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” line—even when it's true! G．When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何完成家庭作业提出了一些建议。 1．B　[后句中的It代指B选项中的Homework。B项(家庭作业是上学的主要部分。)符合语境。] 2．G　[根据后文“so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging”可知，本段主要是建议学生们先从最难的作业着手。] 3．D　[后句由转折连词but连接，并提到不要找一个整晚聊不完的人讨论作业。故前句应该是说可以求助于某些人。] 4．E　[前一句说“对于大部分人来说，每小时休息15分钟是一个好主意”，而且本段主要讲休息，只有E项“但是如果你能真正地集中精神，那么也可以等到一个合适的时间再休息。”与休息有关。] 5．F　[本段主要讲要预防其他一些意外事情给作业带来的破坏。故F项“没有老师会相信‘我的作业被狗嚼了’这样的话，即便当这件事是真的的时候”符合本段内容。] Ⅲ.完形填空 The deadly winter storm established numerous low­temperature records. 1 22 states were impacted, Texas was particularly hard hit.
