You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 B When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 4. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby. C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 5. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry! 6. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children’s health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children. 【答案】4 A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)”可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”(几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道：“做得好！做得好！做得好！)”以及后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)”可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段“Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters.(泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.(我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)”以及文章最后一段“When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring.(当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)”可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。 C Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut. In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies. The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections. 8. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment? A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool. C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid. 9. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text? A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds. C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes. 10. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos? A. How far they are able to see. B. How they track moving objects. C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys. D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种原产于澳大拉西亚的会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. ”（虽然人们不知道这些鸟在野外会使用工具，但事实证明，它们在关在笼子里时就能熟练地使用工具）根据第二段第三句“In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. ”(在实验中，戈芬的鹦鹉能够在大多数情况下仅通过视觉识别来选择合适的工具。)可知，凤头鹦鹉在实验中用工具从盒子里取坚果。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age ”(在人类身上，婴儿从一岁左右就可以把一个圆形的物品放进一个圆形的洞里)可知，一岁儿童最有可能完成“将一个球放进一个圆形的洞里”的任务。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues, or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.”(根据研究人员的说法，下一步是尝试弄清楚凤头鹦鹉是完全依靠视觉线索，还是也使用触觉来选择形状)可知，后续测试的目的是了解凤头鹦鹉在测试中是否使用触觉。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Coffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. ”(戈芬的凤头鹦鹉是一种原产于大洋洲的小鹦鹉，它的形状识别能力与两岁的人类相似)可知，文章主要介绍了一种会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。故选D。 【点睛】 D We are all stuck in the thought of having satisfying relationships, which bring some meaning to our lives and make us happy. We are so busy in finding true happiness that we often forget true happiness lies within us. You have to love yourself first in order to love someone else. We have heard in countless inspiring speeches that self-love is the basis of a happy life. Have you ever wondered that with so many people advertising self-love, why haven’t we been able to love ourselves? One of the reasons for our failure to love ourselves is that we have been taught to be selfless from the start of time. The minute we start thinking about ourselves, everyone around us makes it their personal mission to remind us of how selfish we are. However, there is nothing wrong with putting your needs and yourself first. Self-love is not selfish. It only helps us better understand which sacrifices (牺牲) are worth making! Actually, self-love and healthy relationships cannot be separated. Self-love is the very core of any healthy relationship. Now you might wonder how my love for myself is going to make me able to have a healthy relationship. Isn’t a healthy relationship all about giving? Honestly, No. When you know your worth, you know what you are willing to accept in a relationship and what not. You will know where to draw boundaries because you value your own opinions. You will have a clear understanding of what you need, what are your values and your limits. From now on, you should realize that true happiness lies within you and you shouldn’t waste time and effort searching for peace and joy in the world outside. 12. Where can we find true happiness? A. In meaningful lives. B. In selfless partnership. C. In self-loving hearts. D. In satisfying relationships. 13. Why do we fail to love ourselves? A. We are taught to be selfish. B. We focus on others too much. C. We never make any sacrifices. D. We have to achieve our missions. 14. What does the writer advise us to do? A. Ignore our own needs. B. Value others’ opinions. C. Stop pursuing joy from others. D. Accept everything in a relationship. 15. What can be learnt from the passage? A. Self-love will make people become selfish. B. Healthy relationships result from self-love. C. Self-love won’t exist without healthy relationships. D. Healthy relationships are more important than our needs. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍我们要学会自爱并给出一些建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“You have to love yourself first in order to love someone else. We have heard in countless inspiring speeches that self-love is the basis of a happy life. (要想爱别人，你必须先爱自己。我们在无数鼓舞人心的演讲中听到，自爱是幸福生活的基础。)”可知，我们在自爱的心中找到真正的幸福。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“One of the reasons for our failure to love ourselves is that we have been taught to be selfless from the start of time. The minute we start thinking about ourselves, everyone around us makes it their personal mission to remind us of how selfish we are.(我们没有爱自己的原因之一是，我们从一开始就被教导要无私。当我们开始思考自己的那一刻，我们周围的每个人都把提醒我们有多自私作为他们的个人使命。)”可知，我们不能爱自己，是因为我们被教导要无私从而过于关注他人。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“From now on, you should realize that true happiness lies within you and you shouldn’t waste time and effort searching for peace and joy in the world outside.(从现在起，你应该意识到真正的幸福就在你内心，你不应该浪费时间和精力在外面的世界里寻找和平与快乐。)”可知，作者建议我们不要再追求从别人那里获得的快乐。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“Actually, self-love and healthy relationships cannot be separated. Self-love is the very core of any healthy relationship. Now you might wonder how my love for myself is going to make me able to have a healthy relationship. Isn’t a healthy relationship all about giving? Honestly, No.(事实上，自爱和健康的关系是分不开的。自爱是任何健康关系的核心。现在你可能会想，我对自己的爱将如何使我能够拥有一段健康的关系。一段健康的关系不就是给予吗？老实说，不是。)”可知，健康的人际关系源于自爱。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Stop Being an Oversharer in Person and on Social Media Do you find yourself sharing details about your life with a total stranger?

Pause for 1 to 2 seconds before speaking. Sometimes we talk without thinking, and end up sharing more than we mean to.____17____ That way, you can think twice and avoid anything you don’t want to talk about. ____18____ Maybe a conversation is headed in a direction that carries a lot of emotional weight for you. If you don’t want to talk about something (relationship problems, past trauma, grief, etc.), casually turn to other subjects by giving them a compliment or pointing out something about your environment. Set clear boundaries for yourself before talking. In your head, make a list of topics that you don’t want to talk about with an acquaintance or a stranger. When you find yourself toward those subjects, use the methods above to avoid them. ____19____ Avoid social media when you’re feeling emotional. ____20____ When you’re upset, you might find that you post things you normally wouldn’t on your social media accounts. To avoid oversharing on social media, log out of your accounts any time you’re feeling down. If you do so, you won’t tend to tell people things online that you don’t actually want to share. A. Avoid a conversation with emotional subjects． B. Oversharing doesn’t always happen in person． C. Change the topic of a conversation if it causes burden． D. Before opening your mouth, reconsider what you’re going to say． E. That way, you can stop yourself from oversharing from the beginning． F. Oversharing is easy to happen, and it’s a problem that many of us deal with． G. Realizing that we talk too much, we often feel regretful about what we say． 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，通过提供一些实用的建议来帮助人们避免在面对面交流和社交媒体上过度分享个人信息。 【16题详解】 下文提到了“Whether you overshare to fill awkward silences or just because you don’t know what else to talk about, we’ve got you covered (无论你是因为填补尴尬的沉默而过度分享，还是因为你不知道还能谈论什么，我们都为你提供了解决方案)”，说明过度分享可能发生在多种情况下。选项F中的“Oversharing is easy to happen, and it’s a problem that many of us deal with (过度分享容易发生，这是我们许多人都要面对的问题)”与下文的描述一致，因此选择F。 【17题详解】 本段标题建议“Pause for 1 to 2 seconds before speaking (在说话前暂停1到2秒)，”这是为了避免在没有深思熟虑的情况下说话。选项D中的“Before opening your mouth, reconsider what you’re going to say (在开口之前，重新考虑你要说的话)”与这个建议相吻合，因此选择D。 【18题详解】 下文提到“If you don’t want to talk about something (relationship problems, past trauma, grief, etc.), casually turn to other subjects by giving them a compliment or pointing out something about your environment. (如果你不想谈论某些事情（比如感情问题、过去的创伤、悲伤等），可以通过随意地给予他们一些赞美或者指出你周围环境中的某些事情来轻松地转向其他话题。)”，说明当人们不想谈论某个话题的时候，可以转移话题，选项C中的“Change the topic of a conversation if it causes burden (如果话题带来负担，就改变话题)”与这个建议相符，因此选择C。 【19题详解】 上文建议在交谈前为自己设定清晰的界限，并列出不想与陌生人或熟人讨论的话题。本段标题提到“Set clear boundaries for yourself before talking (在交谈前为自己设定清晰的界限)”，选项E中的“That way, you can stop yourself from oversharing from the beginning”(这样，你可以从一开始就阻止自己过度分享)与这个建议相符，因此选择E。 【20题详解】 上文提到了“Avoid social media when you’re feeling emotional (当你情绪化时，避免使用社交媒体)”，这是为了避免在情绪化时在社交媒体上过度分享。选项B中的“Oversharing doesn’t always happen in person (过度分享并不总是发生在面对面的情况下)”，扩展了过度分享的概念，指出它也可能发生在社交媒体上，因此选择B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Over a decade ago Heather Benoit was given a crayon as a gift by one of her students.

First, turn off the taps, the lights and so on when we are not using them. It is a good idea to recycle everything recyclable in our daily life.

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car. “Of course, you can,” her mother agreed. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为120左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy. She greeted him with a warm smile and handed him the plate of food. On receiving the food, the man could hardly conceal his excitement and thanked her joyfully. Meanwhile, Emma sat down beside him, engaging in a heartfelt conservation. Witnessing the moving scene, the mother felt a sense of satisfaction. As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. Moved and delighted, her mother gave her a big hug and praised her for extending a helping hand to the homeless man outside. With another large plate of steak ordered on the table, a surge of happiness and warmth running Emma, she was so relieved that she tasted the steak happily. At that moment, the mother realized that Emma had taught her an invaluable lesson-the joy of giving. While the steak may have been Emma’s favorite, Emma understood the importance of sharing and making a difference in someone else’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天，艾玛的妈妈带艾玛去她最喜欢的牛排店，吃牛排的时候，艾玛提出想把牛排给流浪汉，妈妈同意了。艾玛因为自己做了好事而感到满足。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾玛拿着满满一盘食物迅速离开了桌子”可知，第一段可描写艾玛给流浪汉送食物的经过和妈妈的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾玛回来时，妈妈骄傲地笑了”可知，第二段可描写妈妈为艾玛感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：拿着食物离开——送流浪汉食物——流浪汉感谢——妈妈感到满足——称赞艾玛——妈妈感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：fill with/be full of ②递给：hand/pass/give ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①同情：empathy/sympathy ②高兴：delighted/glad 点睛】[高分句型1] As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy.

You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 4. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby. C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 5. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry! 6. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B Sport is necessary for children’s health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children. C Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut. In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies. The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections. 8. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment? A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool. C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid. 9. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text? A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds. C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes. 10. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos? A. How far they are able to see. B. How they track moving objects. C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys. D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters D We are all stuck in the thought of having satisfying relationships, which bring some meaning to our lives and make us happy. We are so busy in finding true happiness that we often forget true happiness lies within us. You have to love yourself first in order to love someone else. We have heard in countless inspiring speeches that self-love is the basis of a happy life. Have you ever wondered that with so many people advertising self-love, why haven’t we been able to love ourselves? One of the reasons for our failure to love ourselves is that we have been taught to be selfless from the start of time. The minute we start thinking about ourselves, everyone around us makes it their personal mission to remind us of how selfish we are. However, there is nothing wrong with putting your needs and yourself first. Self-love is not selfish. It only helps us better understand which sacrifices (牺牲) are worth making! Actually, self-love and healthy relationships cannot be separated. Self-love is the very core of any healthy relationship. Now you might wonder how my love for myself is going to make me able to have a healthy relationship. Isn’t a healthy relationship all about giving? Honestly, No. When you know your worth, you know what you are willing to accept in a relationship and what not. You will know where to draw boundaries because you value your own opinions. You will have a clear understanding of what you need, what are your values and your limits. From now on, you should realize that true happiness lies within you and you shouldn’t waste time and effort searching for peace and joy in the world outside. 12 Where can we find true happiness? A. In meaningful lives. B. In selfless partnership. C. In self-loving hearts. D. In satisfying relationships. 13. Why do we fail to love ourselves? A. We are taught to be selfish. B. We focus on others too much. C. We never make any sacrifices. D. We have to achieve our missions. 14. What does the writer advise us to do? A. Ignore our own needs. B. Value others’ opinions. C. Stop pursuing joy from others. D. Accept everything in a relationship. 15. What can be learnt from the passage? A. Self-love will make people become selfish. B. Healthy relationships result from self-love. C. Self-love won’t exist without healthy relationships. D. Healthy relationships are more important than our needs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Stop Being an Oversharer in Person and on Social Media Do you find yourself sharing details about your life with a total stranger?

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car. “Of course, you can,” her mother agreed. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为120左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
