Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information. Every student must join at least one book club this summer. Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life. Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life. Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound. Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people. However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections. To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information. 1. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A school textbook. B. A school website. C. A reading club’s annual report. D. A book store website. 2. Which club is suitable for students who like reading poems? A. Club 1. B. Club 2. C. Club 3. D. Club 4. 3 What will students get to know from the Peer page? A. Their teachers’ favorite books. B. Their classmates’ favorite books. C. Reading recommendations from writers. D. Reading recommendations from teachers. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了布朗高中的暑期阅读计划，包括阅读俱乐部的分类以及如何选择“不太可能的选择”书籍。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.(你可以在此页面上看到阅读俱乐部的介绍，并点击不同链接以查看更多详细信息)”可推知，这段文字很可能来自学校网站。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Club 3部分“For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound.(适合喜欢阅读表达情感、经历和想法的文章的学生，尤其是在短行词中使用押韵词）可知，Club 3适合喜欢诗歌的学生。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books(发现你的“不可能选择”，探索同龄人页面，你的同学们会推荐他们最喜欢的书籍。）可知，学生可以从Peer页面了解到他们同学最喜欢的书。故选B。 B Kunqu, which combines poetry, music, beautiful costumes and graceful performances, was listed as one of the masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage (非物质文化遗产) of humanity by UNESCO in 2001. But it is far from a heritage. In the busy streets of Kunshan, this ancient art form continues to find new life, balancing between keeping its timeless beauty and meeting the demands of modernity. For performers like You Tengteng, an actress at the Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Theater, the act is both a challenge and a passion. After a long day of practice, You and her colleagues discuss their latest performance strategies not in a traditional theater but on Douyin, a Chinese video-sharing platform. In partnership with the platform, You and seven other performers livestream (网络直播) their shows for at least 20 hours each month. The goal is simple yet great: to reach a new generation of audiences who might hesitate to sit through a two or three-hour-long performance in an opera house (戏院). One of the challenges is translation — not from language to language but from centuries-old art to the screens of smartphones. To draw audiences in the digital age, the performers have condensed (压缩) the lengthy art form into acceptable one-hour pieces, inviting viewers to experience Kunqu in more relaxed settings, whether over tea at a cafe or within the walls of a museum. The strategy seems to be working particularly among Chinese youth. After performances, it is common to see young fans eagerly lining up for selfies and autographs (签名) with the performers. Their newfound love for this ancient art is a piece of evidence to its continuous development. You Tengteng’s influence goes beyond the stage. Over the last few years, the Kunshan Kunqu theater has held more than 2, 500 performances and tours, drawing over 20 million attendees from China and abroad. In addition, the local government has spent 177 million yuan ($25. 05 million) to support new productions and performances. 4. Why did You Tengteng livestream Kunqu on Douyin? A. To help promote Douyin platform. B. To attract more fans to make money. C. To popularize Kunqu among young people. D. To encourage people to practise Kunqu 5. What is the main challenge You Tengteng faces? A. Showing the timeless beauty of Kunqu. B. Translating the art to different languages. C. Raising enough money for new productions. D. Adapting Kunqu to the demands of digital time. 6. Which or the following can best describe You Tengteng according to this article? A. Romantic. B. Responsible. C. Humorous. D. Traditional. 7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A. Effect of You Tengteng and her colleagues’ practice. B. You Tengteng’s personal influence. C. The reason why You Tengteng succeeded. D. The situation of Kunshan Kunqu theater. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了昆曲演员由腾腾网络直播昆曲的情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The goal is simple yet great: to reach a new generation of audiences who might hesitate to sit through a two or three-hour-long performance in an opera house.(目标简单而伟大：吸引新一代观众，他们可能会犹豫是否在歌剧院里坐上两三个小时看演出)”可知，由腾腾在抖音上直播昆曲是为了在年轻人中普及昆曲。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One of the challenges is translation — not from language to language but from centuries-old art to the screens of smartphones.(其中一个挑战在于翻译——不是从一种语言到另一种语言的翻译，而是将数百年的古老艺术呈现到智能手机的屏幕上）”以及第六段“To draw audiences in the digital age, the performers have condensed (压缩) the lengthy art form into acceptable one-hour pieces, inviting viewers to experience Kunqu in more relaxed settings, whether over tea at a cafe or within the walls of a museum.(为了吸引数字时代的观众，表演者们将这种冗长的艺术形式压缩成了易于接受的一小时节目，邀请观众在更轻松的环境中体验昆曲，无论是在咖啡馆里品茶时，还是在博物馆的墙内)”可知，由腾腾面临的主要挑战是将昆曲适应数字时代的需求。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For performers like You Tengteng, an actress at the Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Theater, the act is both a challenge and a passion. After a long day of practice, You and her colleagues discuss their latest performance strategies not in a traditional theater but on Douyin, a Chinese video-sharing platform.(对于像由腾腾这样的昆山当代昆剧院演员来说，表演既是一种挑战，也是一种热爱。经过一天的长时间练习后，由腾腾和她的同事们不是在传统剧院里，而是在中国的视频分享平台抖音上讨论他们最新的表演策略)”以及后面她为了推广昆曲所做的努力，如在抖音直播、压缩表演时长等可推断出，由腾腾是一个有责任感的人，她致力于推广昆曲这一古老艺术形式。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段的“After performances, it is common to see young fans eagerly lining up for selfies and autographs (签名) with the performers. Their newfound love for this ancient art is a piece of evidence to its continuous development.(演出结束后，经常可以看到年轻粉丝们迫不及待地排队与演员们合影留念和索要签名。他们对这一古老艺术的新发现之爱，是其不断发展的有力证明)”以及最后一段的“You Tengteng’s influence goes beyond the stage. (由腾腾的影响力超越了舞台)”可知，最后两段主要讲述了由腾腾和她的同事们的努力所取得的效果，包括年轻观众的喜爱、昆山昆曲剧院的演出和巡演数量以及当地政府的支持等。故选A。 C A sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle eventually does harm to health but breaking out of long inactivity can be discouraging. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity. A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day — climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework — can provide great health benefits. “It’s quite simple, but it’s not an idea that’s out there,” says University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis who led the research. “Many people, including many health professionals, still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.” Stamatakis and his colleagues, on the other hand, wanted to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle. To study this, his team used data from nearly 25, 000 adults who were non-exercisers. Without these data, it was almost impossible to continue the study. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death. The team found that people who did at least four one-to-two-minute high intensity physical activities every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent ower chance of dying from a cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, “The more, the better.” 8. What did the recent study find? A. An inactive lifestyle is harmful but hard to change. B. More physical exercises can make you more active. C. Doing daily housework is also a kind of exercise. D. Daily short but intense activities do good to health. 9. What does the underlined word “vigorously” most probably mean? A. Energetically. B. Continuously. C. Frequently. D. Creatively. 10. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 5? A. Research purposes. B. Research limitations. C. Research findings. D. Research methods. 11. What would Stamatakis suggest? A. Going to exercise at fixed time and place. B. Avoiding movement of light intensity. C. Doing only 8 minutes intense activity every day. D. Carrying out more short bouts of intense activity. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明短时间高强度的活动有益健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day—climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework— can provide great health benefits.(最近的一项研究表明，每天短时间的剧烈运动——爬楼梯、搬运重物或加快家务劳动的步伐——对健康大有好处)”可知，最近的研究表明，短时间高强度的活动有益健康的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。done somewhat vigorously in short bouts在句中作后置定语修饰daily life activities，根据后面“compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle(与久坐或不太活跃的生活方式相比)”可推测，划线词应该和less active意思相反，应该是“高强度地，剧烈地”的意思。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death.(在七天的过程中，他们使用机器学习工具来确定一个人是久坐、站立、行走，还是在重复的10秒窗口中进行剧烈活动，如跑步。研究人员还将任何运动分为轻度、中度和高强度。然后，在接下来的七年里，他们记录了哪些研究参与者死亡以及导致死亡的原因)”可知，本段主要讲到了研究过程中的数据收集及分析方法。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段末“More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, ‘The more, the better.’(Stamatakis说，这种剧烈运动的次数越多，就意味着死亡风险得到了更大的保护，‘越多越好’)”可知，Stamatakis认为短时间高强度的活动有益健康，降低死亡风险，他建议多做这样的活动，越多越好。故选D项。 D In a world that often stresses physical appearance, it’s important not to concern ourselves with external beauty or ugliness. True beauty and strength lie within. Our focus on outward looks can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. For instance, many people feel sad when they don’t match the perfect images (形象) presented in the media. They might fight for an unachievable standard of beauty, frequently comparing themselves to others. However, this often leaves us empty and dissatisfied. Inner strength, on the other hand, enables us to face life’s challenges with courage and resilience (恢复力). It gives us the ability to bear hardships and come out of failures. A person like Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls’ education despite facing great danger, shows that a strong and beautiful heart is more important than appearance. A person with a strong and beautiful heart is kind, empathetic (有同理心的), and generous. They focus on building meaningful relationships and having a positive influence on the world around them. They don’t let the opinions of others about their appearance affect them. Instead, they draw confidence from their values and character. Consider the volunteers in local charities. They give their time and love selflessly, not worried by their outward looks but rather the warmth they can bring. Even in daily life, simple acts like helping an elderly cross the street or comforting a sad friend show the beauty within. Rather than spending a large amount of time and energy on perfecting our looks, we should focus on self-improvement and self-reflection. We can read, learn new skills, and take part in activities that nourish (滋养) our souls. By doing so, we will discover a beauty that is far more lasting and satisfying than any external charm. Let’s remember that it’s our inner selves that truly matter and have the power to change not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch. 12. What can be inferred about the role of the media in relation to self-awareness from this article? A. It helps people build a realistic self-image. B. It promotes a healthy focus on inner beauty. C. It may contribute to unrealistic beauty standards. D. It has no important effect on how people view themselves. 13. Why does the author mention Malala Yousafzai and volunteers? A. As an example of inner beauty. B. As an example different from volunteers in charities. C. To show the importance of girls’ education. D. To show the power of changing one’s life. 14. What writing technique is used in this article in order to express the main point of view? A. Exaggeration (夸张). B. Metaphor (暗喻). C. Contrast (对比). D. Personification (拟人). 15. Which of the following would he the best title for the article? A. True Beauty: The strength Hard to Achieve. B. From Within: The True Beauty of a Person. C. Self-improvement: The Way to Nourish Our Soul. D. Difficult to Judge: The True Meaning of Inner Beauty. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了只关注外在美会导致的问题，强调内在美才是真正的美。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For instance, many people feel sad when they don’t match the perfect images (形象) presented in the media. They might fight for an unachievable standard of beauty, frequently comparing themselves to others. (例如，当他们与媒体上呈现的完美形象不符时，许多人会感到悲伤。他们可能会为一个无法达到的美丽标准而奋斗，经常把自己和别人比较。)”可知，媒体在自我意识方面可能导致不切实际的审美标准。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A person like Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls’ education despite facing great danger, shows that a strong and beautiful heart is more important than appearance. (像马拉拉·尤萨夫扎伊这样的人，不顾巨大的危险为女孩的教育而奋斗，表明了坚强美丽的内心比外表更重要。)”以及第三段“Consider the volunteers in local charities. They give their time and love selflessly, not worried by their outward looks but rather the warmth they can bring. (想想当地慈善机构的志愿者。他们无私地付出自己的时间和爱，不担心他们的外表，而是他们能带来的温暖。)”可知，作者提到马拉拉·尤萨夫扎伊和志愿者是为了作为内在美的一个例子。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Our focus on outward looks can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. (我们对外表的关注会导致自我怀疑和不安全感。)”以及第三段“A person with a strong and beautiful heart is kind, empathetic (有同理心的), and generous. (拥有一颗强大而美丽的心的人是善良、善解人意和慷慨的。)”可知，作者通过将外在美与内在美进行对比，来强调内在美的重要性，所以文章使用了对比的写作技巧，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“By doing so, we will discover a beauty that is far more lasting and satisfying than any external charm. Let’s remember that it’s our inner selves that truly matter and have the power to change not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch. (通过这样做，我们将发现一种比任何外在魅力更持久、更令人满意的美。让我们记住，真正重要的是我们内心的自我，它不仅能改变我们的生活，也能改变我们所接触到的人的生活。)”结合文章主要说明了只关注外在美会导致的问题，强调内在美才是真正的美。可知，B选项“发自内心：一个人的真正美”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 In today’s world, complaints are becoming more common. ___16___ So, if you often find yourself complaining, it's important to break this habit for everyone's well-being.

What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months?” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat. “What about you, Jimmy? What’s your big goal for the year? ” Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school? ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground. “I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down. Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished. “That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year. Paragraph one: The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room. He picked up his toys, organized his comic books, and even folded his clothes. It was hard work, but he felt proud when he finished. His dad noticed the clean room and smiled, “Great job, Jimmy!” That evening, Jimmy felt relaxed knowing he had the whole weekend free to play. From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. He found that keeping his room tidy helped him stay organized with his homework and school projects. His friends also started complimenting his neat room when they visited. Jimmy realized that small, consistent efforts could make a big difference. By sticking to his resolution, he not only improved his habits but also gained more time and energy for the things he loved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jimmy在新年伊始决定每周五放学后打扫房间，并因此带来了一系列积极变化的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“第二个星期五到了，吉米想起了他的决心。”可知，第一段可描写Jimmy如何履行他的决心，即他放学后开始打扫房间的具体行动，以及打扫完成后的感受和父亲的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，吉米再也没有忘记这个决心，甚至在清洁之外也带来了变化和好处。”可知，第二段可描写Jimmy坚持这一决心后所带来的长远影响，包括他在学习和生活方面的积极变化，以及他从中获得的感悟。 2.段落续写：Jimmy记得决心——开始打扫房间——房间变得整洁——父亲表扬——习惯带来其他方面的变化——Jimmy的感悟和成长 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①打扫：clean/tide up/sweep ②放下：put down/place down ③坚持：stick to/insist on/cling to 情绪类 ①感到骄傲：feel proud/have a sense of pride ②感到放松：feel relaxed/feel at ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as he got home from school, he put his backpack down and started cleaning his room.

Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information. Every student must join at least one book club this summer. Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life. Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life. Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound. Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people. However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections. To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information. 1. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A school textbook.

B Kunqu, which combines poetry, music, beautiful costumes and graceful performances, was listed as one of the masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage (非物质文化遗产) of humanity by UNESCO in 2001. But it is far from a heritage. In the busy streets of Kunshan, this ancient art form continues to find new life, balancing between keeping its timeless beauty and meeting the demands of modernity. For performers like You Tengteng, an actress at the Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Theater, the act is both a challenge and a passion. After a long day of practice, You and her colleagues discuss their latest performance strategies not in a traditional theater but on Douyin, a Chinese video-sharing platform. In partnership with the platform, You and seven other performers livestream (网络直播) their shows for at least 20 hours each month. The goal is simple yet great: to reach a new generation of audiences who might hesitate to sit through a two or three-hour-long performance in an opera house (戏院). One of the challenges is translation — not from language to language but from centuries-old art to the screens of smartphones. To draw audiences in the digital age, the performers have condensed (压缩) the lengthy art form into acceptable one-hour pieces, inviting viewers to experience Kunqu in more relaxed settings, whether over tea at a cafe or within the walls of a museum. The strategy seems to be working, particularly among Chinese youth. After performances, it is common to see young fans eagerly lining up for selfies and autographs (签名) with the performers. Their newfound love for this ancient art is a piece of evidence to its continuous development. You Tengteng’s influence goes beyond the stage. Over the last few years, the Kunshan Kunqu theater has held more than 2, 500 performances and tours, drawing over 20 million attendees from China and abroad. In addition, the local government has spent 177 million yuan ($25. 05 million) to support new productions and performances. 4. Why did You Tengteng livestream Kunqu on Douyin? A. To help promote Douyin platform. B. To attract more fans to make money. C. To popularize Kunqu among young people. D. To encourage people to practise Kunqu 5. What is the main challenge You Tengteng faces? A. Showing the timeless beauty of Kunqu. B. Translating the art to different languages. C. Raising enough money for new productions. D. Adapting Kunqu to the demands of digital time. 6. Which or the following can best describe You Tengteng according to this article? A. Romantic. B. Responsible. C. Humorous. D. Traditional. 7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A. Effect of You Tengteng and her colleagues’ practice. B. You Tengteng’s personal influence. C. The reason why You Tengteng succeeded. D. The situation of Kunshan Kunqu theater. C A sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle eventually does harm to health but breaking out of long inactivity can be discouraging. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity. A recent study suggests that short bouts (一阵) of intense (高强度的) activity every day — climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of things, or stepping up the pace of housework — can provide great health benefits. “It’s quite simple, but it’s not an idea that’s out there,” says University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis who led the research. “Many people, including many health professionals, still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.” Stamatakis and his colleagues, on the other hand, wanted to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits compared to a sedentary or less active lifestyle. To study this, his team used data from nearly 25, 000 adults who were non-exercisers. Without these data, it was almost impossible to continue the study. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or doing intense activities like running during repeated 10-second windows. The researchers also divided any movement into light, middle, or high intensity. Then, for the next seven years, they recorded which study participants died and what caused the death. The team found that people who did at least four one-to-two-minute high intensity physical activities every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent ower chance of dying from a cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. More bouts of such strong activity meant greater protection from death risks, Stamatakis says, “The more, the better.” 8. What did the recent study find? A. An inactive lifestyle is harmful but hard to change. B. More physical exercises can make you more active. C. Doing daily housework is also a kind of exercise. D. Daily short but intense activities do good to health. 9. What does the underlined word “vigorously” most probably mean? A. Energetically. B. Continuously. C. Frequently. D. Creatively. 10. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 5? A. Research purposes. B. Research limitations. C. Research findings. D. Research methods. 11. What would Stamatakis suggest? A. Going to exercise at fixed time and place. B. Avoiding movement of light intensity. C. Doing only 8 minutes intense activity every day. D. Carrying out more short bouts of intense activity. D In a world that often stresses physical appearance, it’s important not to concern ourselves with external beauty or ugliness. True beauty and strength lie within. Our focus on outward looks can lead to self-doubt and insecurity. For instance many people feel sad when they don’t match the perfect images (形象) presented in the media. They might fight for an unachievable standard of beauty, frequently comparing themselves to others. However, this often leaves us empty and dissatisfied. Inner strength, on the other hand, enables us to face life’s challenges with courage and resilience (恢复力). It gives us the ability to bear hardships and come out of failures. A person like Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls’ education despite facing great danger, shows that a strong and beautiful heart is more important than appearance. A person with a strong and beautiful heart is kind, empathetic (有同理心的), and generous. They focus on building meaningful relationships and having a positive influence on the world around them. They don’t let the opinions of others about their appearance affect them. Instead, they draw confidence from their values and character. Consider the volunteers in local charities. They give their time and love selflessly, not worried by their outward looks but rather the warmth they can bring. Even in daily life, simple acts like helping an elderly cross the street or comforting a sad friend show the beauty within. Rather than spending a large amount of time and energy on perfecting our looks, we should focus on self-improvement and self-reflection. We can read, learn new skills, and take part in activities that nourish (滋养) our souls. By doing so, we will discover a beauty that is far more lasting and satisfying than any external charm. Let’s remember that it’s our inner selves that truly matter and have the power to change not only our lives but also the lives of those we touch. 12. What can be inferred about the role of the media in relation to self-awareness from this article? A. It helps people build a realistic self-image. B. It promotes a healthy focus on inner beauty. C. It may contribute to unrealistic beauty standards. D. It has no important effect on how people view themselves. 13. Why does the author mention Malala Yousafzai and volunteers? A. As an example of inner beauty. B. As an example different from volunteers in charities. C. To show the importance of girls’ education. D. To show the power of changing one’s life. 14. What writing technique is used in this article in order to express the main point of view? A. Exaggeration (夸张). B. Metaphor (暗喻). C. Contrast (对比). D. Personification (拟人). 15. Which of the following would he the best title for the article? A. True Beauty: The strength Hard to Achieve. B. From Within: The True Beauty of a Person. C. Self-improvement: The Way to Nourish Our Soul. D. Difficult to Judge: The True Meaning of Inner Beauty. 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 In today’s world, complaints are becoming more common. ___16___ So, if you often find yourself complaining, it's important to break this habit for everyone's well-being.

What’s your resolution (决心要做的事) for the next twelve months?” Jimmy’s sister, Julia, spoke first. “I want to get an A in math. I’m going to practice my flashcards every day.” Julia poured syrup (糖浆) on her pancakes and began to eat. “What about you, Jimmy? What’s your big goal for the year? ” Jimmy thought about it. He had never made a New Year’s resolution before. “Does a resolution have to be about school? ” he asked. Dad smiled, “No, Jimmy. A resolution can be about anything you want. It’s just a promise you make to yourself to try to do something in the future. ” Hearing that, Jimmy sat and thought. He was already good at math. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a promise about doing extra homework. He would like to be better at baseball and hit a home run in the summer. It would be hard, though, to practice baseball in the winter when there was snow on the ground. “I'll have to think about it, ” Jimmy said. Then he went back to his room. He did his best thinking on his bed, but he had to step over all of his toy trucks and a few dirty socks to get there. He also had to move his comic books and stuffed animals off of his bed before he could sit down. Jimmy looked around his room. It was pretty messy. He would have to clean it up before he could have friends over on Sunday. It usually took all day Saturday to clean up. That meant Jimmy couldn't play until he was finished. “That’s it! ” Jimmy cried. “I’ll clean my room every Friday right after school. Dad will be happy, and I will be able to play all weekend. ” Jimmy smiled. He was happy that he found a resolution that would make his New Year much better than the past year. Paragraph one: The following Friday arrived, and Jimmy remembered his resolution. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: From then on Jimmy never forgot the resolution, resulting in changes and benefits even beyond cleaning. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
