Passage 3 （24-25高二上·江苏无锡·期末）Shanghai’s 11-year-old sailor, Yang Jixin, has made a notable entry in the sailing records by completing the 2024 Rizhao-Qingdao Island Hopping Race, navigating (横渡) 66 nautical miles, around 77 miles in the ocean. Yang also set a new benchmark (基准) by being the youngest Chinese youth to complete such a long voyage. The race, which started on Aug. 10 from the Rizhao World Sailing Base and ended at the Beijing Olympic Sailing Training Base in Qingdao on Aug. 13, presented a series of challenges over its four- day sailing. Yang, the youngest national record-holder for kayaking (皮艇运动) across the Qiongzhou Strait, demonstrated her toughness and sailing acumen (敏锐) among the hot and wet weather, periods of calm, headwinds, and the complex interference (干扰) of waves. The organizers took careful steps to ensure the safety of sailors, carrying out measures such as maritime rescue, medical support, and navigation monitoring throughout the event. Upon her arrival at the Silver Sea Yacht Marina in Qingdao, Yang was welcomed by several figures from the sailing community, including Dai Zhiqiang, a former member of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Vice Chairman of the China Yachting Association, and Principal of the National Sailing School. Their presence recognized the significance of her success. Dai greeted Yang with a congratulatory smile and rang the bell in her honor, a traditional mark of a successful sailing journey. His actions reflected the encouragement and support for the up-and-coming generation of sailors that Yang represents. Yang’s achievement is more than a personal success. It’s an inspiration for young sailors and it highlights the potential for future developments in the sport of sailing. By setting a new record for the youngest Chinese youth in long-distance sailing, she has opened doors for others to follow and has shown that age is no barrier to ambition and skill.

Cold water is poured over them to bring them back to their senses. They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. “Ladies and Gentlemen.

But for the 30-year-old middle-distance superstar, success is no longer simply measured in medals and records; it’s also about the profound journey of motherhood and her status as one of track and field’s greatest role models. Having won a gold medal in the 1,500m at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Kipyegon’s return to the peak of athletics after the birth of her daughter, Alyn, in 2018, has been nothing short of spectacular.

In 2023, Kipyegon confirmed her legacy as one of the greatest middle-distance runners of all time, breaking three world records across three different distances (1,500m,1mile,5,000m) in less than two months — all while raising her daughter. Kipyegon and a string of top athletes are continuing to prove that elite sport and motherhood are not incompatible (不兼容). “I think we motivate young women to know that you can go on maternity (怀孕) leave and come back stronger than before,” Kipyegon suggests. “They realize that it’s not the end of your life, but it can be the beginning of your life.” 19．What does Faith Kipyegon regard as her primary pursuit in northern Kenya?

Passage 7 （24-25高二上·甘肃白银·期末）Two boys awoke with great excitement on the morning of their baseball team’s championship game, but the day did not go as planned. An unexpected,wild pitch (投球) would result in an inspiring moment of sportsmanship between competing teams. The Little League Southwest Regional Playoff would determine which team would make it to the final game in Williamsport. Kaiden Shelton pitched for his Pearland, Texas baseball team and Isaiah Jarvis played shortstop (游击手) for the opposing team from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kaiden’s team scored three runs in the top of the first inning (局), and Isaiah’s team fought back with two scored runs at the bottom. Pressure became stronger for Kaiden to pitch a strike as the crowd’s cry, “win the battle!”, grew louder. He knew that his next pitch could decide which team won or lost the playoff game. Kaiden threw a powerful fastball. His fast pitch went mistakenly and hit Isaiah’s helmet, knocking him to the ground. Medical staff rushed to Isaiah’s aid, and parents and coaches grew concerned. The stadium grew very silent. Luckily, his helmet had prevented any serious injury. He quickly recovered and medical staff cleared him to continue playing. He walked to first base to prepare for the next play. Pitcher Kaidenstood on the ground, overwhelmed with emotion from the unpleasant incident. He teared up over the thought that he had hurt a fellow player. Isaiah noticed Kaiden’s distress and threw down his helmet. He walked toward the pitcher’s mound and gave Kaiden a hug. He instinctively knew that Kaiden needed this reassurance in order to continue the game. “Hey, you’re doing great. Let’s go,” Isaiah said to Kaiden.

Passage 8 （24-25高二上·江苏连云港·期末）Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 27．What does the new study focus on? A．The mental health of older adults. B．The effect of exercise on memory. C．The problems of previous research. D．The link between sleep and memory. 28．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Process of the study. B．Subjects of the study. C．Limitations of the study. D．Application of the study. 29．What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A．Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B．Light exercise improves short-term memory. C．Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D．Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B．Exercising your way to a better memory. C．Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D．Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. Passage 9 （24-25高二上·四川德阳·期末）As we are waiting for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, we have a chance to think bigger. Why not introduce more contemporary competitions, organize more varied teams and involve more of the world as participants? ●New sports Hundreds of millions of people across the globe now earn their living less with their backs and more with their brains, relying on sharp reasoning and creative thinking. So how about seeing who’s best at that? One idea: a competition such as the solar car challenges popular in many high school and college engineering programs. Mixed-gender teams of tech experts might get a project idea way before the Olympics and then come to compete with other countries on a real Olympic track. It would be a competition that relies on teammates with smarts, skills and creativity. Or how about Olympic chess? Don’t laugh: The International Chess Federation has been pushing the idea for decades. In 1999, the IOC finally recognized chess as an official sport. But the IOC is unwilling to include chess in the Games themselves, even though it is surprisingly physically demanding. ●New teams Since the first modern Olympics in 1896, average life spans have soared. Olympic teams could better reflect these spectacular improvements in longevity and health. What if the Olympics feature relay teams composed of athletes from different generations? The IOC could select a few events—say, the 4×200-meter freestyle swim relay and the 4×400-meter track relay—and give fans a chance to see athletes of all ages. ●New participants Today, more than 7 billion people across the globe own a smart phone. Imagine if the next Olympics let everyone with a smart phone compete for their countries. The IOC could create a “Citizen Participation” app and make it available to everyone in the world. Then from the torch lighting to the Closing Ceremonies, the app would count their steps. And the nations whose citizens accumulated the most steps would win gold, silver and bronze medals in a worldwide competition. 31．What is the author’s suggestion about new sports? A．Adding traditional ball games. B．Holding a solar car challenge. C．Introducing more individual sports. D．Increasing the number of track events. 32．Why does the author mention the “Citizen Participation” app? A．To show the popularity of smart phones. B．To encourage people to do more exercise. C．To explain a new way of Olympic participation. D．To introduce a new function of smart phones. 33．What can we infer from the text? A．The IOC is open to all new ideas. B．Chess will definitely be in the 2028 Games. C．The Olympics are trying to keep up with the times. D．New teams are mainly composed of young athletes. Passage 10 On Oct 6, during the men’s singles final at the 2024 World Table Tennis China Smash (大满贯) in Beijing, China’s 35-year-old Ma Long lost to his19-year old teammate Lin Shidong.

In 2016, Ma achieved a Grand Slam after winning gold at the Rio Olympics. A Grand Slam is earned by a player who wins singles crowns (冠军) at the Olympic Games, WTTC, and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITF) World Cup. He won his sixth Olympic gold in 2024, becoming the first Chinese athlete to do so. The ITIF then declared (宣布) him the greatest table tennis player of all time.

Passage 11 （24-25高二上·浙江金华·阶段练习）The organization that runs soccer in the United States says its men’s and women’s national soccer teams will receive equal pay. The U.S. is the first country in the world to make such a promise. The U.S. Soccer Federation made the announcement Wednesday. It worked with players’ groups from both the men’s and women’s teams to reach an agreement that runs through the end of 2028. The American women’s soccer team is one of the best in the world. The men’s soccer team has seen less success; it did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018. Players on the men’s team, however, have always received much more money than players on the women’s team. Margaret Purce is a player for the women’s team. She said the agreement will help women and girls “recognize their value rather than having to fight for it.” The final part of the agreement that needed to be worked out was how the players would be paid for competing in the World Cup. The women’s team won the last two tournaments but still earned far less than the men. The players’ groups, known as unions, agreed to combine the money they received from FIFA, the soccer organization that runs the World Cup. After the U.S. Soccer Federation takes 10 percent of the money, the rest will be divided equally among the players. Each team has 23 players. This is important for the female players because there is still much more money than before. In 2018, the last place men’s team took home twice as much money compared to the winning American women’s team. Walker Zimmermann is a male player who worked on the agreement. He said he was excited. “We saw it as an opportunity to be leaders in this front and join with the women’s side…” Purce said she was “grateful for this accomplishment and for all the people who came together to make it so.” However, she added she believed paying men and women equally “is what you’re supposed to do.” Mark Levinstein is a lawyer for the men’s group. He said the new agreement ends “more than 20 years of discrimination against” the female players. 39．What is contradictory in American soccer team? A．Male players receive more income than female players. B．The number of female players is more than male players. C．Female players’ performances are better than male players’. D．Male players earn less success while receiving higher pay. 40．How did the players’ groups work out the final part of the agreement? A．By distributing equal pay to both male and female players. B．By dividing all the money they received from FIFA． C．By paying based on the players’ different performances. D．By cutting back on the money in the men’s game. 41．What did Purce think of the agreement? A．She had never expected equal pay for men and women players. B．She considers it as a chance to be leaders in women’s soccer team. C．It made sense to get female soccer players’ value realized. D．It enabled all the players to cooperate to ensure the pay equality. 42．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Male and female national soccer players in US will receive equal pay. B．Female national soccer players in US struggle to receive equal pay. C．The equal pay agreement benefits female soccer players in US. D．Discrimination against female soccer players in US disappears. Passage 12 （24-25高二上·河北沧州·阶段练习）A problem had been upsetting me for days — I just couldn’t solve it, and it was driving me crazy. But then I went for a walk and suddenly came up with the answer! It’s a great feeling — and this link between exercise and creativity has been studied by scientists around the world. Dr. Chong Chen and his team are from Japan’s Yamaguchi University. To find out how different types of physical activity can help us solve problems and think creatively, they referred to 21 past studies from places including the US, the UK, Spain, Sweden, China, India and Japan. The studied exercises included walking, running, cycling, dance and yoga. However, the hardest exercise actually didn’t give the best results. In fact, Chen and his team found that it was natural walking that almost always had a positive effect on people’s creativity—even if it was just walking inside a room or going up and down some stairs, for as little as three to four minutes. Dance is also good. Most of the studies conducted by Chen’s team found that dance helps significantly with creativity — particularly among adults. However, the results for yoga were unclear. And low-intensity aerobic (有氧的) exercise like cycling was not found to have an effect. There were some benefits from moderate (适度的) and intense aerobic exercise. But “maximal effort” exercise seemed to have a mostly negative effect. So completely wearing yourself out probably won’t help your creativity! Chen wrote that his team’s findings could be used in schools and businesses by including short periods of physical activity during the day to encourage creative thinking. It’s not even about keeping fit, Chen says — you just have to move! “Knowing that just a few minutes of walking, or other low-intensity physical activity, can improve creative thinking should make getting up to move seem more worthwhile, ” he said in an interview. 43．How does the author start the text? A．By quoting theories. B．By making comparisons. C．By linking the past and the present. D．By referring to his own experience. 44．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How the study was conducted. B．Why the study was carried out. C．The results of the study on creativity. D．The types of physical activities in the study. 45．According to the study, which of the following exercises are more efficient than the others? A．Walking and running. B．Yoga and cycling. C．Walking and dance. D．Dance and yoga. 46．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To report a science study. B．To teach people how to exercise. C．To show the importance of creativity. D．To clarify some misconceptions about walking. Passage 13 （24-25高二上·福建三明·阶段练习）Wang Shuang was just five when her parents divorced (离婚), dropped her at her uncle’s and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape for her. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl”. And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.” At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. “They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so.” Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team, aged 17, Wang thought, “Me? Are you sure?” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good”. It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.” Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player. China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship eight times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined. It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women's football of the country to its former height. Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball, she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the last-four clash (四分之一决赛). “Nobody knows how hard it was,” declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties.

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. 51．What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Preserve. B．Separate. C．Prevent. D．Damage. 52．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 53．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. 54．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. Passage 15 （24-25高二上·山西·阶段练习）No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say. For years, some trainers have instructed gym-goers that to get the best results, they need to train until failure, meaning until they cannot physically do one more repetition or exercise. Some recent studies, however, suggest this extreme rule may only benefit certain people. “If somebody wants to increase muscle (肌肉) mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider.” said Michael Zourdos, chair of exercise science and health promotion at Florida Atlantic University. Zourdos and his colleagues found that training until failure may build bigger muscles, but isn’t needed to increase strength. He said people who work out hard, but don’t push themselves to the state of being totally tired out, will still likely improve their health and fitness. “There is a difference between training for health and training for excellent performance,” he said. He also said failure training often comes at a cost, since people working to that standard might be so tired that they have no energy to join their next gym training or two. In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage. James Fisher, a sports science expert and consultant in Southampton, England, said whatever your fitness goal was, the concept of failure training could be applied into your workout. But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said. For people who have more experience, experts recommend saving the failure training for occasional workouts, or on the last set of exercises in their training. “It’s not meant to be for every person, every time they work out,” Fisher said. “This is a tough way to exercise.” 55．What is the function of the saying in the first paragraph? A．To give examples. B．To lead in the topic. C．To make comparisons. D．To provide an argument. 56．What does the author want to show by mentioning rhabdomyolysis? A．The harm of failure training. B．The benefit of eating healthily. C．The importance of bigger muscles. D．The necessity of training in a gym. 57．What did James Fisher advise people to do after they train to failure? A．Try lifting weights at once. B．Have their kidney checked. C．Look for an excellent trainer. D．Rest for about two days. 58．What is the best title for the text? A．How Hard Should You Train? B．How Often Should You Do Exercise? C．How Can You Improve Your Health? D．How Do You Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? Ⅱ阅读理解七选五 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·广东珠海·期末）Athletes prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5 km run, here are science-backed tips on how to kick start and keep an exercise routine. Pick an exercise you enjoy. People can stick with their works if they feel good. 1 . If you like being in nature, plan a day hike or take up surfing. If you enjoy teamwork, look into recreational sports leagues in your area. Commit to about four weeks of exercise. This can help you build a new routine. People who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. 2 Get a workout partner. You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if a partner is counting on you to show up. In a study, 602 overweight employees from a company participated in a daily step challenge. Those on teams walked farther than those doing the challenge solo. 3 Compete against someone. Trying to beat someone can improve your athletic performance. If you can’t find someone to compete with, recreate friendly competition with fitness apps. 4 You can set a specific goal and time frame. Then invite others to join your competition. 5 If you haven’t worked out in a while and you’re not sure where to begin, focus on any kind of active movement.

Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁锦州·期末）Tai Chi, or Taijiquan in Chinese, is an outstanding part of traditional Chinese culture that is valuable in promoting health, developing self-defence skills, and improving concentration and overall well-being. Here are five reasons for you to try Tai Chi. ● Tai Chi is good for both body and mind. Tai Chi is a gentle martial art that originated in China. It’s called “meditation (冥想) in motion”, because it involves slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment. 6 ● It’s easy on the body. Tai Chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. It is low-impact, meaning there is little risk of damage to your joints (关节). 7 It’s an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people, including those in wheelchairs. ● It may promote brain power. 8 Studies have found that regular Tai Chi can improve cognitive functioning in older people with dementia (痴呆) and without. Given that it’s considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win. ● You can do it at home. Classes are useful not just for teaching the movements but also for meeting like-minded people. 9 You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences. ● It has the feel-good factor. Practising Tai Chi can reduce one’s stress and anxiety. 10 There are other mental health benefits of Tai Chi, according to a research, though further research is needed. A．Benefits aren’t just physical. B．You can go at your own pace. C．It can also increase one s confidence. D．But there are videos available online too. E．Many people think Tai Chi is similar to yoga. F．Muscles are relaxed and there is little chance of injury. G．Tai Chi has in recent years seen an increased popularity throughout the world. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河北张家口·期末）In the fast-paced world, finding time for a workout can feel like an impossible task. Between work commitments, family responsibilities, and social engagements, it’s easy to put our fitness on the back burner (暂时搁置). 11 These game-changing tips will help you integrate exercise into your busy routine. 12 But what if we could turn this daily routine into a golden opportunity for self-care? Consider changing your car keys for a bike or your own two feet. If the distance is too great, try parking a bit farther from your destination and enjoy a quick walk. These seemingly small changes can have a significant impact on your daily activity levels. 13 Another way is to buy a smart exercise machine. It may cost huge money, but the long-term benefits are significant. Just think about the time and money saved on commuting (通勤) and gym. 14 With a quality exercise machine at home, you can have a quick workout whenever you have spare time. Plus you can also choose the machine that suits your lifestyle and space perfectly — from connect bikes to smart rowers and fitness mirrors, there’s something for everyone. Do remember that lunch breaks are not just for fueling your body. 15 You can walk to and from a restaurant close to where you work. If you work from home, explore the neighborhood or jump on your smart exercise machine. Not only does this practice keep you fit, but it also refreshes your mind for the second half of the day. A．But don’t fear, busy men. B．Turn your everyday housework into exercise opportunities. C．They can keep you fit without requiring extra workout time. D．They can also serve as a perfect window for a quick workout. E．For many of us, commuting is a necessary time-consuming activity.

Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江台州·期中）Nowadays more and more young athletes are taking part in the risky, adventurous activities called “extreme sports” or “X-sports”. Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible. In the past young athletes would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement — the closer to the edge, the better. 16 They windsurf near hurricane, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers. 17 A city kid who couldn’t afford expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There is even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-game, which includes snow mountain biking and climbing. 18 It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboard attached to their feet. 19 “People love the excitement,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal.” Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend, groups of friends in their early 30s get together. On weekdays, they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes and ride down steep mountains together. Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. 20 A．An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island. B．What makes extreme sports so popular? C．Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports such as golf. D．What are the risks in Extreme sports? E．But it has been a fact that extreme sports are gaining popularity. F．They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. G．Extreme sports bring us both excitement and risks. Passage 5 （24-25高二上·河北沧州·阶段练习）It’s easy to let things slide in midlife. But our 40s to 60s is actually the best time to increase activity levels. Indeed, a study found that people aged 40-61, who increased their fitness routine with activities such as walking and cycling, to a few hours a week, were 16 to 43 percent less likely to die from cancer and heart disease. Therefore, exercise is necessary for this group of people. 21 . ●Walk faster The best way to get fit is also the easiest: head out for a quick walk. 22 . “You’ll have more energy and be much less likely to need the doctor,” says Professor Tom Yates. ●Play racquet (球拍) sports 23 . People playing tennis or badminton for at least two and a half hours a week had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from any cause. Tennis or badminton offers more health benefits than other sports, including swimming, cycling and walking. The researchers say this is because racquets sports work all your body’s muscles at once and require good hand-eye coordination (协调) while running around the court strengthens your heart and lungs. ● 24 We tend to forget about our balance until we lose it but research shows that practising balance skills improves our fitness, strengthens brain health and leads to a longer life. In a 12-year study of 1,702 people, the ability to stand was associated with longevity and health. Or simply practise standing on one leg. 25 . A．Balance on one leg B．Keep a balanced diet C．Here are the tips for midlife fitness D．We ought to move more and sit less E．If you can manage 10 seconds, your balance is good F．Fast-paced walkers live longer and are less likely to get heart disease G．If you want to stay sharp and lively into old age, take up tennis or badminton ( 1 / 24 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 Sports culture (译林版2020选择必修第二册) 单元话题阅读精练(阅读理解15篇+七选五5篇) Ⅰ阅读理解 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·山西太原·期末） Global Climate Action The COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company is launching a new initiative to spotlight global climate action through an international documentary competition “Voices of Change: A Glimpse into Global Climate Action”.

Yang also set a new benchmark (基准) by being the youngest Chinese youth to complete such a long voyage. The race, which started on Aug. 10 from the Rizhao World Sailing Base and ended at the Beijing Olympic Sailing Training Base in Qingdao on Aug. 13, presented a series of challenges over its four- day sailing. Yang, the youngest national record-holder for kayaking (皮艇运动) across the Qiongzhou Strait, demonstrated her toughness and sailing acumen (敏锐) among the hot and wet weather, periods of calm, headwinds, and the complex interference (干扰) of waves. The organizers took careful steps to ensure the safety of sailors, carrying out measures such as maritime rescue, medical support, and navigation monitoring throughout the event. Upon her arrival at the Silver Sea Yacht Marina in Qingdao, Yang was welcomed by several figures from the sailing community, including Dai Zhiqiang, a former member of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Vice Chairman of the China Yachting Association, and Principal of the National Sailing School. Their presence recognized the significance of her success. Dai greeted Yang with a congratulatory smile and rang the bell in her honor, a traditional mark of a successful sailing journey. His actions reflected the encouragement and support for the up-and-coming generation of sailors that Yang represents. Yang’s achievement is more than a personal success. It’s an inspiration for young sailors and it highlights the potential for future developments in the sport of sailing. By setting a new record for the youngest Chinese youth in long-distance sailing, she has opened doors for others to follow and has shown that age is no barrier to ambition and skill. Her journey across the waves will undoubtedly encourage others to map their courses, and to rise to the challenges that lie beyond the known shores. 7．Which of the following can best describe Yang Jixin?

They train together whenever they can and share a good knowledge of the sport and its stars. Their passion for boxing is a positive element of their lives that has kept them away from gangs and drugs, which are quite common in their New York City neighborhood. One day, Antonio and Felix learn that they are set to fight each other in a fight that will determine which of them goes on to compete in the Golden Gloves — the first step towards a real professional fighting career. Initially, the two friends pretend that their upcoming fight changes nothing. However, they soon agree that they should separate until the fight in order to train independently. In addition to physical training, both Antonio and Felix work to get into the right psychological state to fight their best friend. On fight night, Tompkins Square Park is filled with cheering fans. Because they know each other so well, Felix and Antonio are able to counter (还击) each other’s every move throughout the fight. Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounds over and over again. Felix and Antonio are past hearing. Their blows continue to pound on each other like hailstones (冰雹). Finally the referee and the two trainers pull Felix and Antonio apart. Cold water is poured over them to bring them back to their senses. They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. “Ladies and Gentlemen. The winner and representative to the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions is…” The announcer turns to point to the winner and finds himself alone. Arm in arm the champions have already left the ring. 11．What can practising boxing in New York City benefit most? A．Strengthening their physical body. B．Having a good knowledge of boxing. C．Developing their good friendship. D．Reducing chances of forming bad habits. 12．How do Antonio and Felix prepare for the coming match? A．Pretend to work hard. B．Go all out for it.

(他们对拳击的热爱是他们生活中积极的因素，使他们远离帮派和毒品，这些在他们的纽约市社区很常见)”可知，在纽约市练习拳击最大的好处是让他们远离帮派和毒品，即减少养成坏习惯的机会。故选D项。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, they soon agree that they should separate until the fight in order to train independently. In addition to physical training, both Antonio and Felix work to get into the right psychological state to fight their best friend. (然而，他们很快同意，他们应该分开，直到比赛，以便独立训练。除了体能训练，Antonio和Felix都努力进入正确的心理状态，以对抗他们最好的朋友)”可知，他们分开全力以赴为比赛做准备。故选B项。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because they know each other so well, Felix and Antonio are able to counter (还击) each other’s every move throughout the fight. Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounds over and over again. Felix and Antonio are past hearing. Their blows continue to pound on each other like hailstones (冰雹). (因为他们彼此非常了解，Felix和Antonio能够在整个战斗中反击对方的每一个动作。邦！邦！邦！铃声一遍又一遍地响。Felix和Antonio已经失去了听觉。他们的打击继续像冰雹一样相互撞击)”和“They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. (他们环顾四周，然后冲向彼此。一声惊叫响彻汤普金斯广场公园。这是一场你死我活的战斗而不是拳击比赛吗？当两个朋友拥抱在一起时，恐惧很快被一波又一波的欢呼所取代)”可知，比赛打得难舍难分，结束时他们还停不下来，观众担心他们会再打起来，但看到他们互相拥抱时观众席上响起欢呼声。由此可知，观众认为比赛很刺激。故选A项。 14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The announcer turns to point to the winner and finds himself alone. Arm in arm the champions have already left the ring. (宣布人转身指向赢家，却发现只有他一个人。冠军们已经手挽着手离开了赛场)”可知，两人不在乎比赛结果，也不在乎谁会有资格出征金手套比赛。由此可知，他们都不会去参加这次比赛。故选C项。 Passage 5 （24-25高二上·广东深圳·期末）Zheng Qinwen, a rising tennis star in China, began playing tennis at age 7 and quickly became one of the best in her hometown, Shiyan.

But for the 30-year-old middle-distance superstar, success is no longer simply measured in medals and records; it’s also about the profound journey of motherhood and her status as one of track and field’s greatest role models. Having won a gold medal in the 1,500m at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Kipyegon’s return to the peak of athletics after the birth of her daughter, Alyn, in 2018, has been nothing short of spectacular. Training in Kaptagat, “alongside marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, she prepares for the Paris Olympics with unwavering focus. Yet her daily routine is enriched and challenged by the joys and responsibilities of the motherhood. “She changed my life and my mentality,” Kipyegon says of her daughter. “I now realize that I have someone who looks up to me as a role model.” This shift in perspective has fueled her drive, leading her to another Olympic gold, at the 2020 Tokyo Games, and three world titles. In 2023, Kipyegon confirmed her legacy as one of the greatest middle-distance runners of all time, breaking three world records across three different distances (1,500m,1mile,5,000m) in less than two months — all while raising her daughter. Kipyegon and a string of top athletes are continuing to prove that elite sport and motherhood are not incompatible (不兼容). “I think we motivate young women to know that you can go on maternity (怀孕) leave and come back stronger than before,” Kipyegon suggests. “They realize that it’s not the end of your life, but it can be the beginning of your life.” 19．What does Faith Kipyegon regard as her primary pursuit in northern Kenya?

An unexpected,wild pitch (投球) would result in an inspiring moment of sportsmanship between competing teams. The Little League Southwest Regional Playoff would determine which team would make it to the final game in Williamsport. Kaiden Shelton pitched for his Pearland, Texas baseball team and Isaiah Jarvis played shortstop (游击手) for the opposing team from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kaiden’s team scored three runs in the top of the first inning (局), and Isaiah’s team fought back with two scored runs at the bottom. Pressure became stronger for Kaiden to pitch a strike as the crowd’s cry, “win the battle!”, grew louder. He knew that his next pitch could decide which team won or lost the playoff game. Kaiden threw a powerful fastball. His fast pitch went mistakenly and hit Isaiah’s helmet, knocking him to the ground. Medical staff rushed to Isaiah’s aid, and parents and coaches grew concerned. The stadium grew very silent. Luckily, his helmet had prevented any serious injury. He quickly recovered and medical staff cleared him to continue playing. He walked to first base to prepare for the next play. Pitcher Kaidenstood on the ground, overwhelmed with emotion from the unpleasant incident. He teared up over the thought that he had hurt a fellow player. Isaiah noticed Kaiden’s distress and threw down his helmet. He walked toward the pitcher’s mound and gave Kaiden a hug. He instinctively knew that Kaiden needed this reassurance in order to continue the game. “Hey, you’re doing great. Let’s go,” Isaiah said to Kaiden. The ballpark burst into wild cheers at the touching gesture. The game continued, but that moment will live on as a perfect expression of respect between opposing players. 23．Why did the two boys wake up excited? A．They would join a baseball team. B．They would compete in a final game. C．They would see a new champion. D．They would join in an important game. 24．Which of the following most probably caused Kaiden’s pitch go wrong? A．Huge pressure.

D．Disappointing. 【答案】23．D 24．A 25．B 26．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是两个小男孩Kaiden Shelton和Isaiah Jarvis在Little League西南地区季后赛中的经历。Kaiden作为投手，在巨大的压力下投出了一记意外的球，击中了对手Isaiah的头盔，导致他倒地。然而，这一事件引发了一个动人的体育精神瞬间，Isaiah恢复后不仅没有责怪Kaiden，反而上前安慰他，给了他一个拥抱，鼓励他继续比赛。这展现了对手之间完美的尊重表达。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Two boys awoke with great excitement on the morning of their baseball team’s championship game, but the day did not go as planned(在他们棒球队冠军赛的那天早上，两个男孩兴奋地醒来，但这一天并没有按计划进行)”可知，两个男孩兴奋醒来是因为他们要参加一场重要的比赛，即棒球队的冠军赛，故选D项。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“Pressure became stronger for Kaiden to pitch a strike as the crowd’s cry, “win the battle!”, grew louder. He knew that his next pitch could decide which team won or lost the playoff game. Kaiden threw a powerful fastball. His fast pitch went mistakenly and hit Isaiah’s helmet, knocking him to the ground.(随着人群中 “赢得比赛！” 的呼喊声越来越大，凯登投出好球的压力也越来越大。他知道他的下一次投球可能会决定哪支球队赢得或输掉这场季后赛。凯登投出了一个强有力的快球。他的快速投球失误了，击中了以赛亚的头盔，把他撞倒在地)”可知，是巨大的压力导致凯登投球失误了，故选A项。 25．词义猜测题。根据前文“He teared up over the thought that he had hurt a fellow player. Isaiah noticed Kaiden’s distress and threw down his helmet. He walked toward the pitcher’s mound and gave Kaiden a hug(一想到自己伤害了队友，他就流下了眼泪。以赛亚注意到了凯登的苦恼，扔下了头盔。他走向投手丘，给了凯登一个拥抱)”可知，以赛亚看到凯登因为伤害到自己而苦恼，通过给他拥抱的方式来安慰他，让他消除担忧继续比赛，所以 “reassurance”在这里指的是消除担忧的行为，也就是让凯登不再那么担心、焦虑，故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The ballpark burst into wild cheers at the touching gesture. The game continued, but that moment will live on as a perfect expression of respect between opposing players(棒球场因这一感人的举动爆发出热烈的欢呼声。比赛继续进行，但那一刻将作为对手之间相互尊重的完美体现而长存)”以及前文描述的以赛亚在被凯登投球击中后不仅没有生气，反而去安慰凯登的整个过程，可以看出作者认为这个故事是鼓舞人心的，故选C项。 Passage 8 （24-25高二上·江苏连云港·期末）Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 27．What does the new study focus on? A．The mental health of older adults. B．The effect of exercise on memory. C．The problems of previous research. D．The link between sleep and memory. 28．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Process of the study. B．Subjects of the study. C．Limitations of the study. D．Application of the study. 29．What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A．Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B．Light exercise improves short-term memory. C．Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D．Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B．Exercising your way to a better memory. C．Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D．Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. 【答案】27．B 28．A 29．C 30．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现高强度体力活动可以提高第二天的记忆力，介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段“At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. (至少这是一项新研究得出的结论，这项研究发现，在某一天比平时进行更多中高强度体力活动的老年人在第二天的记忆测试中表现更好。)”可知，这项新研究的重点是运动对记忆的影响。故选B。 28．主旨大意题。根据第三段“To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. (为了研究运动和记忆之间的联系，研究人员从英国挑选了76名年龄在50岁到83岁之间认知健康的成年人。参与者在手腕上佩戴追踪器8天，监测他们的身体活动和睡眠。他们还每天进行以记忆为重点的测试。)”可知，第三段的主要内容是研究过程。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. (轻度运动，如爬楼梯或散步，不会影响第二天的记忆。)”可知，不是所有的锻炼都能提高第二天的记忆力。故选C。 30．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. (想提高你明天的记忆力吗？今天就开始锻炼。至少这是一项新研究得出的结论。这项研究发现，在某一天比平时进行更多中高强度体力活动的老年人在第二天的记忆测试中表现更好。)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现高强度体力活动可以提高第二天的记忆力，介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。可知，B选项“通过锻炼来提高记忆力。”最符合文章标题。故选B。 Passage 9 （24-25高二上·四川德阳·期末）As we are waiting for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, we have a chance to think bigger. Why not introduce more contemporary competitions, organize more varied teams and involve more of the world as participants? ●New sports Hundreds of millions of people across the globe now earn their living less with their backs and more with their brains, relying on sharp reasoning and creative thinking. So how about seeing who’s best at that? One idea: a competition such as the solar car challenges popular in many high school and college engineering programs. Mixed-gender teams of tech experts might get a project idea way before the Olympics and then come to compete with other countries on a real Olympic track. It would be a competition that relies on teammates with smarts, skills and creativity. Or how about Olympic chess? Don’t laugh: The International Chess Federation has been pushing the idea for decades. In 1999, the IOC finally recognized chess as an official sport. But the IOC is unwilling to include chess in the Games themselves, even though it is surprisingly physically demanding. ●New teams Since the first modern Olympics in 1896, average life spans have soared. Olympic teams could better reflect these spectacular improvements in longevity and health. What if the Olympics feature relay teams composed of athletes from different generations? The IOC could select a few events—say, the 4×200-meter freestyle swim relay and the 4×400-meter track relay—and give fans a chance to see athletes of all ages. ●New participants Today, more than 7 billion people across the globe own a smart phone. Imagine if the next Olympics let everyone with a smart phone compete for their countries. The IOC could create a “Citizen Participation” app and make it available to everyone in the world. Then from the torch lighting to the Closing Ceremonies, the app would count their steps. And the nations whose citizens accumulated the most steps would win gold, silver and bronze medals in a worldwide competition. 31．What is the author’s suggestion about new sports? A．Adding traditional ball games. B．Holding a solar car challenge. C．Introducing more individual sports. D．Increasing the number of track events. 32．Why does the author mention the “Citizen Participation” app? A．To show the popularity of smart phones. B．To encourage people to do more exercise. C．To explain a new way of Olympic participation. D．To introduce a new function of smart phones. 33．What can we infer from the text? A．The IOC is open to all new ideas. B．Chess will definitely be in the 2028 Games. C．The Olympics are trying to keep up with the times. D．New teams are mainly composed of young athletes. 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕2028年洛杉矶奥运会展开，提出了三个关于奥运会的新想法：引入新的体育项目、组建新的参赛队伍以及吸纳新的参赛者，旨在探讨如何使奥运会更加现代化、多样化和包容性。 31．细节理解题。根据文章New sports部分中的“One idea: a competition such as the solar car challenges popular in many high school and college engineering programs.(有个想法是：举办类似在许多高中和大学工程项目中颇受欢迎的太阳能汽车挑战赛)”可知，作者建议举办像太阳能汽车挑战赛这样的项目作为新体育项目。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Imagine if the next Olympics let everyone with a smart phone compete for their countries. The IOC could create a “Citizen Participation” app and make it available to everyone in the world. Then from the torch lighting to the Closing Ceremonies, the app would count their steps. And the nations whose citizens accumulated the most steps would win gold, silver and bronze medals in a worldwide competition.(想象一下，如果下一届奥运会让每个拥有智能手机的人都能代表自己的国家参赛。国际奥委会可以开发一款“公民参与”应用程序，供全球所有人使用。从火炬点燃到闭幕式，这款应用程序可以记录他们的步数。在这场全球竞赛中，该国公民累计步数最多的国家将分别获得金、银、铜牌)”可知，作者通过设想国际奥委会创建“公民参与”应用程序，让拥有智能手机的人都能参与奥运会，以此来解释一种新的奥运参与方式。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As we are waiting for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, we have a chance to think bigger. Why not introduce more contemporary competitions, organize more varied teams and involve more of the world as participants?(在我们翘首以盼 2028 年洛杉矶奥运会之际，我们有机会进行更具前瞻性的思考。为何不引入更多现代竞赛项目，组建更多样化的团队，并让世界上更多人参与其中呢？)”可知，奥运会正在考虑引入更多现代比赛、组织更多样化的队伍和吸引更多世界各地的参与者。由此推知，奥运会正在尝试与时俱进，努力跟上时代的步伐。故选C。 Passage 10 On Oct 6, during the men’s singles final at the 2024 World Table Tennis China Smash (大满贯) in Beijing, China’s 35-year-old Ma Long lost to his19-year old teammate Lin Shidong.

With his precise skills and flexible strategies, he can find his opponent’s weaknesses and quickly adjust.(马龙以出色的防守和快速的反击著称，在球场上表现出极强的掌控力和冷静的决策能力。凭借精准的技术和灵活的战术，他能够发现对手的弱点并迅速做出调整)”可知，马龙以快速反击而闻名，这体现了他在比赛中的技能。故选B。 36．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“In 2016, Ma achieved a Grand Slam after winning gold at the Rio Olympics.(2016 年，马龙在里约奥运会夺冠后实现了大满贯)”可知，马龙在 2016 年获得里约奥运会金牌后实现了大满贯。故选A。 37．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“At the 2024 WIT China Smash, Ma suggested this might be his last international competition.(在 2024 年世界乒乓球职业大联盟中国大满贯赛上，马龙暗示这可能是他的最后一场国际比赛)”可知，马龙暗示这可能是他最后一场国际比赛。由此推知，马龙可能会退役。故选A。 Passage 11 （24-25高二上·浙江金华·阶段练习）The organization that runs soccer in the United States says its men’s and women’s national soccer teams will receive equal pay. The U.S. is the first country in the world to make such a promise. The U.S. Soccer Federation made the announcement Wednesday. It worked with players’ groups from both the men’s and women’s teams to reach an agreement that runs through the end of 2028. The American women’s soccer team is one of the best in the world. The men’s soccer team has seen less success; it did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018. Players on the men’s team, however, have always received much more money than players on the women’s team. Margaret Purce is a player for the women’s team. She said the agreement will help women and girls “recognize their value rather than having to fight for it.” The final part of the agreement that needed to be worked out was how the players would be paid for competing in the World Cup. The women’s team won the last two tournaments but still earned far less than the men. The players’ groups, known as unions, agreed to combine the money they received from FIFA, the soccer organization that runs the World Cup. After the U.S. Soccer Federation takes 10 percent of the money, the rest will be divided equally among the players. Each team has 23 players. This is important for the female players because there is still much more money than before. In 2018, the last place men’s team took home twice as much money compared to the winning American women’s team. Walker Zimmermann is a male player who worked on the agreement. He said he was excited. “We saw it as an opportunity to be leaders in this front and join with the women’s side…” Purce said she was “grateful for this accomplishment and for all the people who came together to make it so.” However, she added she believed paying men and women equally “is what you’re supposed to do.” Mark Levinstein is a lawyer for the men’s group. He said the new agreement ends “more than 20 years of discrimination against” the female players. 39．What is contradictory in American soccer team? A．Male players receive more income than female players. B．The number of female players is more than male players. C．Female players’ performances are better than male players’. D．Male players earn less success while receiving higher pay. 40．How did the players’ groups work out the final part of the agreement? A．By distributing equal pay to both male and female players. B．By dividing all the money they received from FIFA． C．By paying based on the players’ different performances. D．By cutting back on the money in the men’s game. 41．What did Purce think of the agreement? A．She had never expected equal pay for men and women players. B．She considers it as a chance to be leaders in women’s soccer team. C．It made sense to get female soccer players’ value realized. D．It enabled all the players to cooperate to ensure the pay equality. 42．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Male and female national soccer players in US will receive equal pay. B．Female national soccer players in US struggle to receive equal pay. C．The equal pay agreement benefits female soccer players in US. D．Discrimination against female soccer players in US disappears. 【答案】39．D 40．A 41．C 42．A 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了美国男足和女足球队将获得同工同酬，解释了这一协议是如何达成的以及人们对此的看法。 39．细节理解题。根据第二段“The men’s soccer team has seen less success; it did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018. Players on the men’s team, however, have always received much more money than players on the women’s team.(男子足球队没有那么成功；它没有获得2018年世界杯的资格。然而，男队球员的收入总是比女队球员高得多)”可知，美国足球队的矛盾是男性运动员获得的成功较少，但获得的报酬较高。故选D。 40．细节理解题。根据第四段“The final part of the agreement that needed to be worked out was how the players would be paid for competing in the World Cup.(协议中需要解决的最后一部分是球员参加世界杯的报酬问题)”以及第五段“The players’ groups, known as unions, agreed to combine the money they received from FIFA, the soccer organization that runs the World Cup. After the U.S. Soccer Federation takes 10 percent of the money, the rest will be divided equally among the players. Each team has 23 players. This is important for the female players because there is still much more money than before. In 2018, the last place men’s team took home twice as much money compared to the winning American women’s team.(被称为工会的球员团体同意将他们从管理世界杯的足球组织国际足联（FIFA）收到的钱合并起来。在美国足协收取10%的奖金后，其余的将在球员之间平均分配。每队有23名队员。这对女球员来说很重要，因为她们的收入比以前多得多。2018年，最后一名男队获得的奖金是冠军美国女队的两倍)”可知，球员团体通过男女球员同工同酬制定出协议的最后部分。故选A。 41．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Purce said she was “grateful for this accomplishment and for all the people who came together to make it so.” However, she added she believed paying men and women equally “is what you’re supposed to do.”(Purce说，她“感谢这一成就，感谢所有齐心协力促成这一成就的人”。然而，她补充说，她认为男女平等的薪酬“是你应该做的”)”可知，Purce认为这份协议对实现女足运动员的价值是有意义的。故选C。 42．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The organization that runs soccer in the United States says its men’s and women’s national soccer teams will receive equal pay.(管理美国足球的组织表示，美国男足和女足国家足球队将获得同工同酬)”结合文章主要说明了美国男足和女足球队将获得同工同酬，解释了这一协议是如何达成的以及人们对此的看法。可知，这篇文章主要讲了美国男足和女足将获得同工同酬。故选A。 Passage 12 （24-25高二上·河北沧州·阶段练习）A problem had been upsetting me for days — I just couldn’t solve it, and it was driving me crazy. But then I went for a walk and suddenly came up with the answer! It’s a great feeling — and this link between exercise and creativity has been studied by scientists around the world. Dr. Chong Chen and his team are from Japan’s Yamaguchi University. To find out how different types of physical activity can help us solve problems and think creatively, they referred to 21 past studies from places including the US, the UK, Spain, Sweden, China, India and Japan. The studied exercises included walking, running, cycling, dance and yoga. However, the hardest exercise actually didn’t give the best results. In fact, Chen and his team found that it was natural walking that almost always had a positive effect on people’s creativity—even if it was just walking inside a room or going up and down some stairs, for as little as three to four minutes. Dance is also good. Most of the studies conducted by Chen’s team found that dance helps significantly with creativity — particularly among adults. However, the results for yoga were unclear. And low-intensity aerobic (有氧的) exercise like cycling was not found to have an effect. There were some benefits from moderate (适度的) and intense aerobic exercise. But “maximal effort” exercise seemed to have a mostly negative effect. So completely wearing yourself out probably won’t help your creativity! Chen wrote that his team’s findings could be used in schools and businesses by including short periods of physical activity during the day to encourage creative thinking. It’s not even about keeping fit, Chen says — you just have to move! “Knowing that just a few minutes of walking, or other low-intensity physical activity, can improve creative thinking should make getting up to move seem more worthwhile, ” he said in an interview. 43．How does the author start the text? A．By quoting theories. B．By making comparisons. C．By linking the past and the present. D．By referring to his own experience. 44．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How the study was conducted. B．Why the study was carried out. C．The results of the study on creativity. D．The types of physical activities in the study. 45．According to the study, which of the following exercises are more efficient than the others? A．Walking and running. B．Yoga and cycling. C．Walking and dance. D．Dance and yoga. 46．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To report a science study. B．To teach people how to exercise. C．To show the importance of creativity. D．To clarify some misconceptions about walking. 【答案】43．D 44．A 45．C 46．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本山口大学的陈冲博士及其团队进行的一项关于运动与创造力之间关系的研究。 43．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A problem had been upsetting me for days — I just couldn’t solve it, and it was driving me crazy. But then I went for a walk and suddenly came up with the answer.(一个问题困扰了我好几天——我就是解决不了，这让我抓狂。但后来我去散步，突然想到了答案。)”可知，作者是通过提及自己的经历来开始这篇文章的。故选D。 44．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Dr. Chong Chen and his team are from Japan’s Yamaguchi University. To find out how different types of physical activity can help us solve problems and think creatively, they referred to 21 past studies from places including the US, the UK, Spain, Sweden, China, India and Japan. (陈冲博士和他的团队来自日本的山口大学。为了探究不同类型的体育活动如何帮助我们解决问题并进行创造性思维，他们参考了来自美国、英国、西班牙、瑞典、中国、印度和日本等地的21项过往研究。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了研究是如何进行的。故选A。 45．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, Chen and his team found that it was natural walking that almost always had a positive effect on people’s creativity—even if it was just walking inside a room or going up and down some stairs, for as little as three to four minutes.(事实上，陈和他的团队发现，自然散步几乎总是对人们的创造力产生积极影响——即使是在房间里散步或上下楼梯，只要三到四分钟。)”和“Most of the studies conducted by Chen’s team found that dance helps significantly with creativity—particularly among adults.(陈的团队进行的大多数研究发现，舞蹈对创造力有很大帮助，特别是在成年人中。)”可知，散步和跳舞比其他锻炼更有效。故选C。 46．推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“It’s a great feeling — and this link between exercise and creativity has been studied by scientists around the world.(这是一种很棒的感觉——世界各地的科学家都在研究运动与创造力之间的这种联系。)”可知，这句话引出了文章的主题，即运动与创造力之间的关系。接下来的段落详细介绍了日本山口大学的陈冲博士及其团队进行的相关研究，包括研究的方法、结果以及应用建议。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是报道一项科学研究，即关于运动与创造力之间关系的研究。故选A。 Passage 13 （24-25高二上·福建三明·阶段练习）Wang Shuang was just five when her parents divorced (离婚), dropped her at her uncle’s and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape for her. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl”. And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.” At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. “They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so.” Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team, aged 17, Wang thought, “Me? Are you sure?” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good”. It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.” Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player. China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship eight times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined. It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women's football of the country to its former height. Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball, she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the last-four clash (四分之一决赛). “Nobody knows how hard it was,” declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team.” 47．What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph? A．She earned a living on her own. B．She was released from the team. C．She was laughed at by the boys. D．She found a sense of belonging. 48．How did Wang regain faith in her abilities? A．By obtaining inspiration. B．By winning recognition. C．By playing in the national team. D．By ignoring other people’s jibes. 49．Which would best describe coach Shui’s attitude to Wang? A．Opposed. B．Contradictory. C．Favourable. D．Demanding. 50．What’s the best title for the text? A．Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose B．Wang Shuang: A Child Genius C．Wang Shuang: A Football Pioneer D．Wang Shuang: A Golden t Age Creator 【答案】47．D 48．B 49．C 50．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国女子足球运动员王霜的相关经历和成就。 47．推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“And soon, she sensed the sport’ s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.”(很快，她就感受到了这项运动的力量。足球让她“释放自己”，并意识到“无论发生什么，足球永远不会让你独自一人。”)”可知，王霜从足球身上感受到了一种归属感。故选D项。 48．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“When she was called up to the national team, aged 17, Wang thought, “Me? Are you sure?” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good”. It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”(当她17岁被征召到国家队时，她想：“我？你确定吗？”当一家世界著名的俱乐部想签下她时，她“很兴奋，因为一位优秀的教练认为我很优秀”。直到那时她才对自己的能力感到自信。“我觉得自己被认出来了。也许我还是有点天赋的。”)”可知，王霜被认可后才对自己的能力重获信心。故选B项。 49．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down.(但当主教练在与越南的比赛前被问及王霜时，她情不自禁地提到了王霜对球队的影响。在大舞台上，王霜没有让她的团队失望)”可知，水教练对王霜赞誉有加。故选C项。 50．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段第二句“As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl”.(作为男队中唯一的女孩，王的表现令人印象深刻，为她赢得了‘铁娘子’的绰号)”和倒数第二段“Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down.(教练们几乎总是不愿谈论个别球员。但当主教练在与越南的比赛前被问及王时，她情不自禁地提到了她对球队的影响。在大舞台上，王没有让她的团队失望)”可知，本文主要介绍了王霜的个人经历，跌宕起伏，但依然保持对足球的热情和初心，犹如绽放的铿锵玫瑰。所以A项“Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose(“铿锵玫瑰”王霜)”是文章最佳标题。故选A项。 Passage 14 （24-25高二上·江西赣州·阶段练习）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. 51．What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Preserve. B．Separate. C．Prevent. D．Damage. 52．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 53．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. 54．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】51．C 52．B 53．D 54．C 【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。 51．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。 52．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。 53．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是渥太华的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。 54．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。 Passage 15 （24-25高二上·山西·阶段练习）No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say. For years, some trainers have instructed gym-goers that to get the best results, they need to train until failure, meaning until they cannot physically do one more repetition or exercise. Some recent studies, however, suggest this extreme rule may only benefit certain people. “If somebody wants to increase muscle (肌肉) mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider.” said Michael Zourdos, chair of exercise science and health promotion at Florida Atlantic University. Zourdos and his colleagues found that training until failure may build bigger muscles, but isn’t needed to increase strength. He said people who work out hard, but don’t push themselves to the state of being totally tired out, will still likely improve their health and fitness. “There is a difference between training for health and training for excellent performance,” he said. He also said failure training often comes at a cost, since people working to that standard might be so tired that they have no energy to join their next gym training or two. In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage. James Fisher, a sports science expert and consultant in Southampton, England, said whatever your fitness goal was, the concept of failure training could be applied into your workout. But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said. For people who have more experience, experts recommend saving the failure training for occasional workouts, or on the last set of exercises in their training. “It’s not meant to be for every person, every time they work out,” Fisher said. “This is a tough way to exercise.” 55．What is the function of the saying in the first paragraph? A．To give examples. B．To lead in the topic. C．To make comparisons. D．To provide an argument. 56．What does the author want to show by mentioning rhabdomyolysis? A．The harm of failure training. B．The benefit of eating healthily. C．The importance of bigger muscles. D．The necessity of training in a gym. 57．What did James Fisher advise people to do after they train to failure? A．Try lifting weights at once. B．Have their kidney checked. C．Look for an excellent trainer. D．Rest for about two days. 58．What is the best title for the text? A．How Hard Should You Train? B．How Often Should You Do Exercise? C．How Can You Improve Your Health? D．How Do You Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? 【答案】55．B 56．A 57．D 58．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度。 55．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say.(俗话说，不劳无获。但为了从训练中受益，你必须承受多少痛苦呢？这取决于你想要达到的目标，健身专家说。)”可推知，这句话用于引出话题，讨论训练的强度和目标。故选B。 56．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage.(在极少数情况下，过度训练可能是有害的，导致一种可能致命的情况，称为横纹肌溶解症，受损的肌肉开始分解，可能导致肾脏损伤。)”可推知，作者提到横纹肌溶解症是为了说明过度训练的危害。故选A。 57．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said.(他说，人们应该让他们训练的肌肉群休息大约两天。)”可知，James Fisher建议人们在训练到力竭后休息大约两天。故选D。 58．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say.(但为了从训练中受益，你必须承受多少痛苦呢？健身专家说，这取决于你想要达到的目标。)”可知，主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度，最佳标题为“你应该多努力地训练？”故选A。 Ⅱ阅读理解七选五 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·广东珠海·期末）Athletes prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5 km run, here are science-backed tips on how to kick start and keep an exercise routine. Pick an exercise you enjoy. People can stick with their works if they feel good. 1 . If you like being in nature, plan a day hike or take up surfing. If you enjoy teamwork, look into recreational sports leagues in your area. Commit to about four weeks of exercise. This can help you build a new routine. People who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. 2 Get a workout partner. You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if a partner is counting on you to show up. In a study, 602 overweight employees from a company participated in a daily step challenge. Those on teams walked farther than those doing the challenge solo. 3 Compete against someone. Trying to beat someone can improve your athletic performance. If you can’t find someone to compete with, recreate friendly competition with fitness apps. 4 You can set a specific goal and time frame. Then invite others to join your competition. 5 If you haven’t worked out in a while and you’re not sure where to begin, focus on any kind of active movement. That includes doing housework, walking your dog or gardening. Basically, all movement counts and any movement is better than nothing. A．Focus on doing housework. B．The key to habits is repetition, C．Change your definition of “exercise.” D．So think about an exercise that delights you. E．They didn’t want to let their teammates down. F．They allow you to race against others around a virtual world. G．Those competing against others did better in the step challenge. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．E 4．F 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何开始并保持一项锻炼计划，给出了一些基于科学的建议。1．根据空前“Pick an exercise you enjoy. People can stick with their works if they feel good.(选择一项你喜欢的运动。如果感觉良好，人们就会坚持锻炼。)”可知，前文提到如果感觉良好人们就能坚持锻炼。选项D“So think about an exercise that delights you.(所以想想让你开心的一项运动。)”承接上文，强调要选择让自己开心的运动，与本段主旨相符。故选D。 2．根据上文内容“Commit to about four weeks of exercise. This can help you build a new routine. People who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later.(坚持锻炼约四周。这有助于你养成新的日常锻炼习惯。那些获得报酬、连续锻炼28天的人，10个月后仍有可能继续坚持锻炼。)”可知，该段指出坚持锻炼约四周有助于建立新的日常习惯，还举例说明付费锻炼28天的人10个月后仍可能继续锻炼。这都在强调重复对养成习惯的重要性。选项B“The key to habits is repetition,(习惯的关键在于重复。)”能概括该段主旨。故选B。 3．根据上文内容“In a study, 602 overweight employees from a company participated in a daily step challenge. Those on teams walked farther than those doing the challenge solo.(在一项研究中，来自一家公司的602名超重员工参加了每日步数挑战。团队中的成员比独自参加挑战的人走得更远。)”可知，上文提到有锻炼伙伴能让你更不容易打破训练计划，还举例公司超重员工参加每日步数挑战，团队成员比独自挑战的人走得更远。选项E“They didn’t want to let their teammates down.(他们不想让队友失望。)”延续上文内容，解释了团队成员走得更远的原因，符合逻辑。故选E。 4．根据上文内容“If you can’t find someone to compete with, recreate friendly competition with fitness apps.(如果你找不到人竞争，那就借助健身应用程序重现友好竞争。它们让你能在虚拟世界里与其他人竞赛。)”可知，前文提到如果找不到人竞争，可以借助健身应用程序重现友好竞争。此空应进一步说明健身应用程序在竞争方面的作用。选项F“They allow you to race against others around a virtual world.(它们让你能在虚拟世界里与其他人竞赛。)”符合，其中“They”指代前文的“fitness apps”。故选F。 5．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“If you haven’t worked out in a while and you’re not sure where to begin, focus on any kind of active movement.

Given that it’s considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win. ● You can do it at home. Classes are useful not just for teaching the movements but also for meeting like-minded people. 9 You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences. ● It has the feel-good factor.

But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There is even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-game, which includes snow mountain biking and climbing. 18 It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboard attached to their feet. 19 “People love the excitement,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging.

Every weekend, groups of friends in their early 30s get together. On weekdays, they work as computer programmers in the same office.
