Sitting for hours at a time is unhealthy and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.
Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question.
A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails.
These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.
53. What did ancient humans do in the daytime?
①Hunt. ②Work. ③Sit. ④ Move.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
54. The underlined word “colleagues” probably means “________”.
A. people who you study with B. people who you work with
C. people who you live with D. people who you exercise with
55. Which of the following does the writer probably agree?
A. Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.
B. People should be active both at work and after work.
C. Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.
D. The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.
【答案】53. D 54. B 55. B
【解析】

Life was very different at Scott’s home. Scott lived with his father, a judge (法官), his mother, and his sister. There were other animals as well, such as cats and chickens. White Fang had to learn that the other people in the house were friends and that he must not attack (攻击) the chickens or cats.
One day, he killed fifty of the birds. Scott was angry with White Fang. He did not beat him badly, but he pushed his head at the dead birds and hit White Fang at the same time. This way, White Fang knew he had done wrong.
“The animal is a wolf,” Scott’s father said. “You’ll never teach him not to kill chickens.”
“He won’t attack another chicken,” Scott said. “Will you make a bet with me?”
The judge agreed, and the two men had a bet.
“I’ll lock White Fang in the chicken house,” Scott said. “He can stay there all night. In the morning, not one chicken will be dead”.
And this was what happened. White Fang behaved as if there were no chickens in the chicken house. He had learned his lesson.
By this time, everyone in Scott’s family liked White Fang. They felt safe with him because he knew them, even though he was not a “house dog.”
After Scott came back home from the Yukon, a dangerous man appeared. His name was Jim Hall, and he had killed many men. He wanted to kill the judge who had sent him to prison (监狱). This was Scott’s father.
One night, Jim Hall got into the house and planned to shoot (射击) the judge while he slept. However, White Fang saw the strange man. He knew that this man was not a friend and leapt at him. A fight went on for a long time. Jim Hall shot White Fang several times, but White Fang would not let him go.
The noise woke everyone up. The police came and took Jim Hall back to prison. White Fang’s wounds were very bad, and he was dying. Scott sent for a doctor who looked at White Fang and said, “He has only one chance in a thousand of living.”
The doctor did everything he could for White Fang, but he lost a lot of blood. He had a broken leg, and there were bullet holes in his chest. But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better. He lived, but he could not fight again. He lived the rest of his life quietly with Scott and his family, a much gentler and much loved wolf-dog.
56. How many people were there in Scott’s family?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
57. What does the “bet” refer to in the story?
A. White Fang would hurt the cats any time.

D. White Fang would not attack another chicken any more.

Bitwalking is an invention by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, which is based on(在…基础上)their daily walking steps.
With this app, walkers can earn one "Bitwalking dollar" for about 1000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites(地点)or exchanged for cash(现金).
One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.
The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade(交易)them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.
84. How many Bitwalking dollars can one people get at most every day?
___________________________________________________________
85. What is the goal of Bitwalking?
___________________________________________________________
86. Do you think we middle school students can use this app? Why?

【答案】84. 3 Bitwalking dollars
85. To make people healthier and improve people's lives.
86. Yes , they do. Because this app will help the middle school students do sports and keep healthy.或 No,they don’t. Because this app will influence their school work.(答案不唯一,只要合理即可。)
【解析】
【分析】本文主要介绍了一款APP----- Bitwalking。这个新应用程序根据人们步行步数为人们付费。
大约1000步可获得一个“步行元”。一个人每天最多能挣三步行元。人们赚取的钱可以在网上购物或兑换成现金。这个应用目的一是让人们更健康,二是改善人们的生活。
【84题详解】
题意:一个人每天最多能得到多少步行币?考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most.(一个人每天最多能挣三元步行币。)可知答案是3 Bitwalking dollars 。
【85题详解】
题意:Bitwalking目的是什么?考查细节理解。根据第三段第1和2句One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives.(这个应用背后的一个想法是让人们更健康。但是设计师还有另一个目标:改善人们的生活。)可知Bitwalking的目的是“一是让人们更健康,二是改善人们的生活。”故答案是To make people healthier and improve people's lives.
【86题详解】
题意:你认为我们中学生可以使用这个应用程序吗?为什么?考查细节理解。此题是开放性题,只要回答合理即可。结合本文内容可知答案是Yes , they do. Because this app will help the middle school students do sports and keep healthy.或 No,they don’t. Because this app will influence their school work.(答案不唯一,只要合理即可。)
【点睛】任务型阅读是“阅读理解”的另一种形式,综合考查学生归纳概括能力和语篇结构理解能力。在理解文字的基础上,完成相应的图表或文字练习,从而有效地测试学生用英语“做事”的能力。首先认真审题,读懂题意;快速阅读,掌握大意,找出符合题意的句子,然后仔细阅读,排除干扰项,确定答案。在初步完成所要求的任务以后,学生必须再仔细阅读所提供的短文,整体把握,结合题意、文章提供的任务信息、认真核实以保证答题正确。

②“I fall in love with the shape of Chinese characters, it’s beautiful and it is a kind of an art—the art of calligraphy (书法), although it’s too difficult for me to speak it well, haha,” says Anna, from Thailand.
③“Chinese characters have the largest amount (量) of information. In the UN documents (文献), if we turn the same book into different languages, the Chinese version (版本) must be the thinnest of all,” says Robert from the UN.

Sitting for hours at a time is unhealthy and can even lead to death. Today, however, many people spend more time sitting than sleeping.
Researchers say that all the time spent at the desk, at the computer, or in front of the television is taking years off your life. Ancient humans spent their days hunting, working, and moving from place to place. So being active is what our bodies are designed for. As a rapid reaction (反应) to this discovery, many people have begun using standing desks. However, this really isn’t an answer to the question.
A standing desk is a desk specially designed for use without a chair. There are many kinds of them, including normal work desks and special standing computer desks. Researchers say that simply standing instead of sitting won’t make your body much better. Standing only costs a few more calories than sitting and places more stress on your joints (关节) and back. The best way is to actually move around more. Take a walk around the office every half an hour. You can also walk over to your colleagues and talk to them instead of sending emails.
These are just a few ways to start moving more while at work. Outside of work, of course, be sure to do plenty of exercise.
53. What did ancient humans do in the daytime?
①Hunt. ②Work. ③Sit. ④ Move.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
54. The underlined word “colleagues” probably means “________”.

C. people who you live with D. people who you exercise with
55. Which of the following does the writer probably agree?
A. Using standing desks is a good way to keep healthy.
B. People should be active both at work and after work.
C. Most people spend more time standing than sleeping.
D. The best way to communicate with others is to send emails.

Life was very different at Scott’s home. Scott lived with his father, a judge (法官), his mother, and his sister. There were other animals as well, such as cats and chickens. White Fang had to learn that the other people in the house were friends and that he must not attack (攻击) the chickens or cats.
One day, he killed fifty of the birds. Scott was angry with White Fang. He did not beat him badly, but he pushed his head at the dead birds and hit White Fang at the same time. This way, White Fang knew he had done wrong.
“The animal is a wolf,” Scott’s father said. “You’ll never teach him not to kill chickens.”
“He won’t attack another chicken,” Scott said. “Will you make a bet with me?”
The judge agreed, and the two men had a bet.
“I’ll lock White Fang in the chicken house,” Scott said. “He can stay there all night. In the morning, not one chicken will be dead”.
And this was what happened. White Fang behaved as if there were no chickens in the chicken house. He had learned his lesson.
By this time, everyone in Scott’s family liked White Fang. They felt safe with him because he knew them, even though he was not a “house dog.”
After Scott came back home from the Yukon, a dangerous man appeared. His name was Jim Hall, and he had killed many men. He wanted to kill the judge who had sent him to prison (监狱). This was Scott’s father.
One night, Jim Hall got into the house and planned to shoot (射击) the judge while he slept. However, White Fang saw the strange man. He knew that this man was not a friend and leapt at him. A fight went on for a long time. Jim Hall shot White Fang several times, but White Fang would not let him go.
The noise woke everyone up. The police came and took Jim Hall back to prison. White Fang’s wounds were very bad, and he was dying. Scott sent for a doctor who looked at White Fang and said, “He has only one chance in a thousand of living.”
The doctor did everything he could for White Fang, but he lost a lot of blood. He had a broken leg, and there were bullet holes in his chest. But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better. He lived, but he could not fight again. He lived the rest of his life quietly with Scott and his family, a much gentler and much loved wolf-dog.
56. How many people were there in Scott’s family?

Bitwalking is an invention by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, which is based on(在…基础上)their daily walking steps.
With this app, walkers can earn one "Bitwalking dollar" for about 1000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites(地点)or exchanged for cash(现金).
One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives. In poor countries people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.
The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade(交易)them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.
84. How many Bitwalking dollars can one people get at most every day?
