He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — to the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Albert did not like school. The German schools of that time were not pleasant. Students could not ask questions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison. In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine. They included one of the most important scientific documents in history. It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity (相对论)”. Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. It was given to him not for his theories of relativity, but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect(光电效应). Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933. He moved to the United States to continue his research. Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940. Einstein was a famous man, but you would not have known that by looking at him. His white hair was long and wild. He wore old clothes. He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work. Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand. Einstein spent the last twenty­five years of his life working on what he called a “unified field theory”. He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics. However, he did not succeed. Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventy­six. 4. What do we know about Albert Einstein in his childhood? A. He was very clever. B. He liked talking with people. C. He was curious about new things. D. He was good at inventing new things. 5. What’s the right order of the following events about Albert Einstein? a. He became a citizen of the United States. b. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics. c. He put forward his “General Theory of Relativity”. d. He left Germany for the United States. A. d, b, c, a B. d, a, c, b C. b, c, d, a D. c, b, d, a 6. What can be inferred about Albert Einstein from the passage? A. Albert Einstein didn’t like asking questions at school. B. Albert Einstein hated school for its strict rules. C. Albert Einstein cared little about how he looked. D. Albert Einstein’s lessons were too difficult to understand. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The life story of Albert Einstein. B. The scientific discoveries of Albert Einstein. C. Albert Einstein and his theories of relativity. D. How Albert Einstein won great success in his life. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要介绍了爱因斯坦的生平，以及他经过努力奋斗而取得的非凡成就。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — to the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. (这个孩子发现指南针的指针总是指向同一个方向——北方时，他充满了惊奇。他问他的父亲和叔叔是什么使针移动的。)”讲述爱因斯坦对指南针产生好奇的故事可以推断出，他对新事物充满好奇心。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine. They included one of the most important scientific documents in history. It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity (相对论)”. Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”. (1905年，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在一家德国科学杂志上发表了一些重要论文。其中包括历史上最重要的科学文献之一。它解释了后来被称为“狭义相对论”的理论。十年后，他将其扩展为“广义相对论”。)”可知，1915年，爱因斯坦发表了“广义相对论”；根据第四段的“In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. (1921年，他获得了诺贝尔物理学奖。)”可知，他于1921年获得诺贝尔物理学奖；根据第五段的“Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933. He moved to the United States to continue his research. Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940. (爱因斯坦于1933年离开德国。他搬到美国继续他的研究。爱因斯坦于1940年成为美国公民。)”可知，爱因斯坦于1933年离开德国前往美国，后来在1940年取得了美国国籍。因此正确的顺序是cbda。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段 “Einstein was a famous man, but you would not have known that by looking at him. His white hair was long and wild. He wore old clothes. (爱因斯坦是个名人，但光看他的外表是看不出来的。他的白发又长又乱。他穿着旧衣服。)”可以推断出，爱因斯坦是一个在生活中不拘小节、不在乎自己外表的人。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章简要介绍了爱因斯坦的生平，以及他经过努力奋斗而取得的非凡成就。A选项“阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的生平故事。”能够概括文章大意，故选A。 C We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true? According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. According to Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste. “But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.” People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink. However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water. With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill. And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported. Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA. 8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________________. A. show an example B. draw a conclusion C. analyze a phenomenon D. introduce a topic 9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree? A. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it. B. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink. C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter. D. Covered water can last for a thousand years. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. BPA does little harm to our health. B. Tap water is always safe to drink. C. Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat. D. Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already. 11. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why Water is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。本文就喝剩下的水是否会变坏进行了研究。研究表明没喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，但只要水质是好的，保存恰当不被细菌污染，是不会变坏的。但专家建议不要用塑料杯要用金属或玻璃制品装热水。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，本段讲述昨天没有喝完的水味道有点怪，有人会把它扔掉，是因为认为水坏了，但是真的吗？结合下文的内容，可知，写第一段的目的就是引出下文的一个话题。分析选项可知D项符合题意。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段Truls Krogh的话“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段----第七段的内容可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。但是一旦不小心弄脏了，可能会将微生物带入水里，在周围温度和阳光透过窗户的帮助下，这些微生物迅速繁殖。水迟早将会被细菌破坏。由此可推断出，微生物容易在高温下产生。分析选项可知C项（微生物在高温下容易产生）符合题意，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文的主旨在第一段，即在第一段讲述昨天没有喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，水质真的坏了吗？结论是味道会变，味道当然与水的质量没有多大关系。接着对这个问题“But is it true?”进行了大量的研究调查，证明只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，不被污染都是安全可饮用的。由此可推断出C项（水真的会坏吗）符合题意，故选C。 【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第4小题，根据第一段中的“He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history.”，倒数第二段中的“He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971”及倒数最后一段“Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. ‘I need the sea because it teaches me, I move in the university of the waves. ’”可知，他曾被称为诗歌中的毕加索。他深受各阶层智利人的爱戴，作品涉及范围广。他的作品有创造性，有激情，由此得出他是一个才华横溢的人，也是一个充满激情的人。分析选项A. Brilliant and passionate才华横溢，充满激情；B. Brave and impatient勇敢而不耐烦C. Committed and awkward忠诚而笨拙；D. Friendly and honest友好而诚实，可知A符合题意，故选A。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的事实基础上，作出一定判断和推论，推断合理信息。要以文字信息为依据，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。 D We sit too much, and researchers are discovering that even working out in a gym several times a week won’t necessarily obviate serious problems if we’re sitting for the rest of the time. From weight problems to poor blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, even early death, the message is clear: we need to stop sitting for hours at a time. What to do? “Move more,” say the experts. So we asked three fitness instructors for their preferred exercises that don’t require equipment and can be done throughout the day at home, in the office, in a hallway, waiting in line at a grocery store or watching TV. “There are a lot of ways to build activities into a day,” says Ottawa-based fitness instructor Christine Dery, who focuses her classes on core muscle strength and balance. She reminds her students to seek ways to move more outside class, such as getting off the bus or an elevator ride a few stops early, or doing calf raises, wall squats and wrist stretches while watching TV. “We need to make exercise an important part of our day,” she says. “It’s about making yourself a priority.” Ben Gervais, a part-time personal trainer and former kung fu instructor in Ottawa, thinks that little moves matter. “Moves like mowing the lawn, doing work around the house, going for a walk with the kids and playing with the kids can all count as activities as long as you get up and move.” He recommends spending the two-minute TV commercial breaks doing wall squats, push-ups and sit-ups, or stepping up and down on a step. Stott Pilates trainer and instructor Michele Carini says breathing can be an exercise working abdominal (腹部的) muscles and neck and shoulder muscles. Focus on sitting tall and drawing air in, so the rib cage (胸腔) expands like an accordion while the stomach stays tense. 12. What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Preserve. B. Separate. C. Prevent. D. Damage. 13. Christine Dery suggests getting off the elevator earlier in order to ______. A. get on another one B. climb some stairs C. have a break D. take a bus 14. What does Ben Gervais agree with? A. You should get up as early as possible in the morning. B. It is better to watch TV for 2 minutes every day. C. Doing housework at home is a good habit. D. Small activities can benefit you quite a lot. 15. How does the author prove his viewpoint? A. By doing some experiments. B. By listing some practical facts. C. By stating some instructors’ opinions. D. By introducing some famous researchers. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在现代生活中，很多人的坐立时间太长，这对健康的危害巨大。在专家看来，一些看起来微不足道的活动对健康很有益处。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“even working out in a gym several times a week won’t necessarily(即使每周去健身房锻炼几次也不一定。)”；后文“From weight problems to poor blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, even early death, the message is clear: we need to stop sitting for hours at a time.(从体重问题到低血糖，甚至早死，我们要传达的信息很明确：我们需要停止一坐就是几个小时。)”以及“serious problems if we’re sitting for the rest of the time(如果我们其余的时间都坐着，……严重的问题。)”可知，后文提到了长时间坐立的坏处，说明如果我们其余的时间都坐着，那么即使每周去健身房锻炼几次也不一定能阻止严重的问题。画线词的意思是“阻止，防止”。故选C。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She reminds her students to seek ways to move more outside class, such as getting off the bus or an elevator ride a few stops early, or doing calf raises, wall squats and wrist stretches while watching TV. “We need to make exercise an important part of our day,” she says. “It’s about making yourself a priority.”(她提醒学生们在课外多活动，比如提前几站下车或乘电梯，或者边看电视边做提小腿、蹲墙和伸展手腕。“我们需要让锻炼成为我们一天中重要的一部分，”她说。“重要的是把自己放在首位。”)”可知，提前从电梯上下来是为了爬几段楼梯，达到锻炼的目的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Ben Gervais, a part-time personal trainer and former kung fu instructor in Ottawa, thinks that little moves matter.( Ben Gervais是渥太华一名兼职私人教练和前功夫教练，他认为小动作很重要。)”可知， Ben Gervais认为一些小小的活动就很有益处。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“So we asked three fitness instructors for their preferred exercises that don’t require equipment and can be done throughout the day at home, in the office, in a hallway, waiting in line at a grocery store or watching TV.(因此，我们向三位健身教练询问了他们最喜欢的不需要器械的运动，这些运动可以在家里、办公室、走廊、在杂货店排队或看电视的时候全天进行。)”可知，他们向健身教练请教了一些建议，第三段到第五段的内容则展示了教练们的建议，可推知，作者是通过介绍教练们的建议证明其观点的。故选C。 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。 Everyone knows they need to save money. ___16___.

So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs. They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn. The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff. The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.” They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.” Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back. The porter replied, “Madam, please calm down. I’m not a thief. That poor old man was sick since last month. He couldn’t earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to completing the old man’s last delivery to your home.” Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves. At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，一对富人夫妇为了准备新年聚会去市场不惜高价买了许多物品，然后雇佣了一个搬运工把这些物品运回家。搬运工是一个年老体弱生活拮据的人，他要价$20低于市场价，而富人夫妇讨价还价后只给$15。富人夫妇高兴地回家等着老人把物品送来，却迟迟不见老人的身影。妻子认为上了老人的当，一定老人把他们的物品卖掉了。回去找老人时却发现他们的物品在另外一个搬运工的车上。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当搬运工听到生气的妻子问题时……，所以应该写他讲述的实情，老人病了又吃不上饭，这次摔倒了，他把$15给了这个搬运工，请求他把物品送到富人家。第二段开头是：丈夫听了，眼里含着泪水，……。下文应该写富人夫妇被老人感动，行动和态度都发生了改变。 最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：calm down, taken an advance, Upon hearing, felt ashamed, changed their attitude等高级词汇；Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’和She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves.运用了非谓语动词；the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes.运用了so……that句型。等高级句式。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年上学期12月月考高二英语试卷 能力提升卷 (测试时间：100分钟 满分：120分) 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Revolutionary TV Ears TV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume (音量) and now it’s better and more affordable than ever!

When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — to the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Albert did not like school. The German schools of that time were not pleasant. Students could not ask questions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison. In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine. They included one of the most important scientific documents in history. It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity (相对论)”. Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. It was given to him not for his theories of relativity, but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect(光电效应). Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933. He moved to the United States to continue his research. Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940. Einstein was a famous man, but you would not have known that by looking at him. His white hair was long and wild. He wore old clothes. He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work. Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand. Einstein spent the last twenty­five years of his life working on what he called a “unified field theory”. He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics. However, he did not succeed. Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventy­six. 4. What do we know about Albert Einstein in his childhood? A. He was very clever. B. He liked talking with people. C. He was curious about new things. D. He was good at inventing new things. 5. What’s the right order of the following events about Albert Einstein? a. He became a citizen of the United States. b. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics. c. He put forward his “General Theory of Relativity”. d. He left Germany for the United States. A. d, b, c, a B. d, a, c, b C. b, c, d, a D. c, b, d, a 6. What can be inferred about Albert Einstein from the passage? A. Albert Einstein didn’t like asking questions at school. B. Albert Einstein hated school for its strict rules. C. Albert Einstein cared little about how he looked. D. Albert Einstein’s lessons were too difficult to understand. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The life story of Albert Einstein. B. The scientific discoveries of Albert Einstein. C. Albert Einstein and his theories of relativity. D. How Albert Einstein won great success in his life. C We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true? According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. According to Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste. “But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.” People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink. However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water. With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill. And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported. Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA. 8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________________. A. show an example B. draw a conclusion C. analyze a phenomenon D. introduce a topic 9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree? A. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it. B. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink. C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter. D. Covered water can last for a thousand years. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. BPA does little harm to our health. B. Tap water is always safe to drink. C Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat. D. Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already. 11. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why Water is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water D We sit too much, and researchers are discovering that even working out in a gym several times a week won’t necessarily obviate serious problems if we’re sitting for the rest of the time. From weight problems to poor blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, even early death, the message is clear: we need to stop sitting for hours at a time. What to do? “Move more,” say the experts. So we asked three fitness instructors for their preferred exercises that don’t require equipment and can be done throughout the day at home, in the office, in a hallway, waiting in line at a grocery store or watching TV. “There are a lot of ways to build activities into a day,” says Ottawa-based fitness instructor Christine Dery, who focuses her classes on core muscle strength and balance. She reminds her students to seek ways to move more outside class, such as getting off the bus or an elevator ride a few stops early, or doing calf raises, wall squats and wrist stretches while watching TV. “We need to make exercise an important part of our day,” she says. “It’s about making yourself a priority.” Ben Gervais, a part-time personal trainer and former kung fu instructor in Ottawa, thinks that little moves matter. “Moves like mowing the lawn, doing work around the house, going for a walk with the kids and playing with the kids can all count as activities as long as you get up and move.” He recommends spending the two-minute TV commercial breaks doing wall squats, push-ups and sit-ups, or stepping up and down on a step. Stott Pilates trainer and instructor Michele Carini says breathing can be an exercise working abdominal (腹部的) muscles and neck and shoulder muscles. Focus on sitting tall and drawing air in, so the rib cage (胸腔) expands like an accordion while the stomach stays tense. 12. What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Preserve. B. Separate. C. Prevent. D. Damage. 13. Christine Dery suggests getting off the elevator earlier in order to ______. A. get on another one B. climb some stairs C. have a break D. take a bus 14. What does Ben Gervais agree with? A. You should get up as early as possible in the morning. B. It is better to watch TV for 2 minutes every day. C. Doing housework at home is a good habit. D. Small activities can benefit you quite a lot. 15. How does the author prove his viewpoint? A. By doing some experiments. B. By listing some practical facts. C. By stating some instructors’ opinions. D. By introducing some famous researchers. 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。 Everyone knows they need to save money. ___16___.

So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs. They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn. The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff. The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.” They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.” Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
