B Wearing high heels, lipstick and trendy dresses, a group of “chic grandmas” with an average age of 68, can still walk the walk as models. But they are not trained models. They are, in fact, ordinary retirees. They all share a love for fashion, and they come together to add a bit of enjoyment to their lives. These “chic grandmas” share a common goal now but their backgrounds could barely be more different. Sang Xiuzhu, 77, is one of them. She used to be an automatic control engineer. She initially planned to journey across continents with her husband after retirement, but during a literary event, Sang, 1.7 meters tall, was spotted by a modeling coach. In the beginning, she joined the senior model team and attended events organized by her local community and enterprises. Later, she was invited to participate in Beijing International Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and her new career just grew. Sang is learning to compose music, form lines and write scripts. She is so occupied that she really has no time to think about the aging issue. As for the future, Sang doesn’t know how to define it, as she really enjoys the present. She suggests that after retirement, people must cope with the transition period, and they should enjoy life. As long as the heart is not old, life is always sweet. All “chic grandmas” are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy. 24. What does the underlined word “chic” in paragraph I mean? A. Retired. B. Urban. C. Stylish. D. Rigid. 25 What did Sang plan to do after retirement? A. Become a senior model. B. Attend literary events. C. Learn to compose music. D. Tour around the world. 26. What can be inferred about chic grandmas? A. They have a born talent for modeling. B. They willingly experience new things. C. They come from similar backgrounds. D They concern much about the aging issue. 27. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. Changes in Fashion Week B. Never Too Late to Learn C. Beauty Has No Age Limit D. Interest Is the Best Teacher C A homeless man is fast becoming an Internet hit with his video blog of life on the street of Moscow, it’s reported. Yevgeny Yakut moved to the Russian capital, hoping to live better, but soon found himself one of the many homeless people in the city known for its housing shortage and high cost of living. But he thinks he has found a way out. “I was warming myself in a railway station when I saw a television report on bloggers earning money by making advertisements,” he tells the TV channel Moscow 360. A young passerby got chatting to him about the idea, and agreed to be Mr. Yakut’s cameraman, using a smartphone to record his friend’s humorous stories of daily struggle to “find food, a place to sleep, and keep out of the way of the police”. So viewers could see how he lives in central Moscow without a home. They upload the regular videos to YouTube, where Mr. Yakut is hoping to attract enough subscribers (订阅者) to interest advertisers in his channel. So far, the pair have attracted more than 18,000 subscribers — around half of those since Russian media began reporting his story and more than 450,000 video views. In one video Mr. Yakut points out that he, and others, in his position, can use free shuttle bus (班车) service to get around. He also shows viewers the best place he has found to wash and shave — a modern shopping centre bathroom — and how to make use of the items other Muscovites have abandoned in the city’s bins. The popularity of the pair’s YouTube channel has impressed video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov, who tells Moscow 360 that with some professional help, “this could be turned into a million subscribers within a year”. In the meantime, Mr. Yakut says supporters can make donations through a Moscow drainpipe, where he hides his dollars in a deposit box made from a soft-drink bottle. 28. How did Yevgeny Yakut find the method of living in Moscow? A. Through a TV report. B. Through surfing the Internet. C. Through talks with passers-by. D. Through reading an economic book. 29. What does Yevgeny Yakut mainly share with viewers? A. His hard way to success. B. His belief of living a better life. C. His positive attitude toward hard life. D. His daily struggle for living in Moscow. 30. What do we know about video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov? A. He is good at attracting the audience. B. He has confidence in Yakut’s videos. C He will give Yakut professional help. D. He likes Yakut’s special lifestyle. 31. What kind of person is Yevgeny Yakut according to the passage? A. Generous and famous. B. Positive and humorous. C. Smart and careful. D. Hard-working and educated. D Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings? Have you ever imagined it’s a dancing pattern of lights? The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art? Whatever your opinion, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things. Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River during the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings. The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”? Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected. 32. How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman’s artworks? A. By talking to her on the phone. B. By lighting up the artworks. C. By touching their phone screens. D. By coloring the patterns. 33. What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate? A. Achievements of China’s technology. B. The influence of art on technology. C. Interaction between viewers and art. D. Easier access to art caused by technology. 34. What do we know about the combination of art and technology? A. It lowers the quality of artworks. B. It involves common people in innovation. C. It shortens the time of painting. D. It makes scientists the real creators of art. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards combining technology with art? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Positive. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A quick exercise can leave you feeling empowered, confident, and more energetic. ___36___ From fun to intense to productive, we’ve listed all the best workout options below. Jump rope for 8 minutes. Jump roping can be an intense, calorie-burning workout. You loved it as a kid. ___37___ Grab a jump rope and jump for 8 minutes straight. Or, if you’re looking for a more challenging workout, try alternating on one leg at a time for 30 seconds, back and forth.

This exercise is also super connected to longevity (长寿) and fighting off chronic disease. Garden for 20 minutes. Exercise doesn’t have to mean sweating and lifting weights. Pull out those garden sheers (支架) instead! When you think about it, gardening does involve a lot of crouching, lifting, leaning, and digging. ___39___ Plus, gardening can actually increase your self-respect, increase heart health, and improve hand strength. Clean for 30-40 minutes. Different cleaning jobs will burn calories at different rates. But no matter which one you choose, you’ll be doing your body a favor. Choosing heavier duty jobs if you’re looking for a more demanding workout. ___40___ Plus, a clean house will lower your stress levels, help you get sick less, and improve your breath health. Basically, this option is a total win-win-win! A. Run for 10 minutes. B. Enjoy a fun pick-up game and sweat it out in the process. C. And now as an adult, you’ll love what it does for your body! D. If choose the right workout, you can consume 100 calories like that. E. And all of those little movements add up to a significant calorie total. F. While you keep yourself upright using your arms and legs, you’re strengthening those regions, too! G.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong. “What am I to do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”. Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” Paragraph 1: Slowly Peter raised his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024级高一下期第一次月考 英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers probably?

But they are not trained models. They are, in fact, ordinary retirees. They all share a love for fashion, and they come together to add a bit of enjoyment to their lives. These “chic grandmas” share a common goal now but their backgrounds could barely be more different. Sang Xiuzhu, 77, is one of them. She used to be an automatic control engineer. She initially planned to journey across continents with her husband after retirement, but during a literary event, Sang, 1.7 meters tall, was spotted by a modeling coach. In the beginning, she joined the senior model team and attended events organized by her local community and enterprises. Later, she was invited to participate in Beijing International Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and her new career just grew. Sang is learning to compose music, form lines and write scripts. She is so occupied that she really has no time to think about the aging issue. As for the future, Sang doesn’t know how to define it, as she really enjoys the present. She suggests that after retirement, people must cope with the transition period, and they should enjoy life. As long as the heart is not old, life is always sweet. All “chic grandmas” are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy. 24.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“时髦奶奶”退休后依然乐于尝试新鲜事物，热爱时尚。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词所在句“Wearing high heels, lipstick and trendy dresses, a group of ‘chic grandmas’ with an average age of 68, can still walk the walk as models. (穿着高跟鞋、涂着口红、穿着时髦的裙子，一群平均年龄68岁的‘chic奶奶’仍然可以作为模特走秀)”中的“Wearing high heels, lipstick and trendy dresses”以及下文“They all share a love for fashion, and they come together to add a bit of enjoyment to their lives. (她们都热爱时尚，她们聚在一起为她们的生活增添了一点乐趣)”可知，这群平均年龄68岁的奶奶热爱时尚，穿着高跟鞋、涂着口红和穿着时髦的裙子，仍然可以作为模特走秀；结合第四段中的“All ‘chic grandmas’ are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn.(所有的‘chic奶奶们’都对新事物充满热情，她们活着就是为了学习)”可知，这些奶奶对新事物充满了热情，坚持学习；由此可知，划线词chic修饰grandmas，表示这些奶奶们非常“时髦，时尚”，与stylish“时髦的；新潮的”意思一致。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She initially planned to journey across continents with her husband after retirement, but during a literary event, Sang, 1.7 meters tall, was spotted by a modeling coach.(她最初计划退休后和丈夫一起周游各大陆，但在一次文学活动中，身高1.7米的桑被一名模特教练发现)”可知，桑秀珠最初计划在退休后和丈夫一起到各大陆旅行，即她计划在退休后环游世界。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“All ‘chic grandmas’ are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy.(所有的‘时髦奶奶’都对新事物充满热情，她们活着就是为了学习。这种深深扎根于她们内心的热情让她们充满了活力)”可知，所有的时髦奶奶都对新事物充满了热情，她们一直在不断学习。由此推知，这些“时髦奶奶”愿意体验新事物。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中对时髦奶奶们的描述“Wearing high heels, lipstick and trendy dresses, a group of ‘chic grandmas’ with an average age of 68, can still walk the walk as models. But they are not trained models. They are, in fact, ordinary retirees. They all share a love for fashion, and they come together to add a bit of enjoyment to their lives. These “chic grandmas” share a common goal now but their backgrounds could barely be more different.(穿着高跟鞋、涂着口红、穿着时髦的裙子，一群平均年龄68岁的‘时髦奶奶’仍然可以作为模特走秀，但她们不是训练有素的模特。事实上，她们是普通的退休人员。她们都热爱时尚，她们聚在一起为她们的生活增添了一点乐趣。这些‘时髦奶奶’现在有着共同的目标，但她们的背景却截然不同)”以及最后一段“As long as the heart is not old, life is always sweet. All “chic grandmas” are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy.(只要心不老，生活永远甜蜜。所有的‘时髦奶奶’都对新事物充满热情，她们活着就是为了学习。这种深深扎根于她们内心的热情让他们充满了活力。)”可知，本文介绍了以77岁的桑秀珠为代表的一群“时髦奶奶”的退休生活，她们退休后依然对新事物充满热情、不断学习、热爱时尚、展现她们的美丽。由此可知，C选项“Beauty Has No Age Limit(美丽没有年龄限制)”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C。 C A homeless man is fast becoming an Internet hit with his video blog of life on the street of Moscow, it’s reported. Yevgeny Yakut moved to the Russian capital, hoping to live better, but soon found himself one of the many homeless people in the city known for its housing shortage and high cost of living. But he thinks he has found a way out. “I was warming myself in a railway station when I saw a television report on bloggers earning money by making advertisements,” he tells the TV channel Moscow 360. A young passerby got chatting to him about the idea, and agreed to be Mr. Yakut’s cameraman, using a smartphone to record his friend’s humorous stories of daily struggle to “find food, a place to sleep, and keep out of the way of the police”. So viewers could see how he lives in central Moscow without a home. They upload the regular videos to YouTube, where Mr. Yakut is hoping to attract enough subscribers (订阅者) to interest advertisers in his channel. So far, the pair have attracted more than 18,000 subscribers — around half of those since Russian media began reporting his story and more than 450,000 video views. In one video Mr. Yakut points out that he, and others, in his position, can use free shuttle bus (班车) service to get around. He also shows viewers the best place he has found to wash and shave — a modern shopping centre bathroom — and how to make use of the items other Muscovites have abandoned in the city’s bins. The popularity of the pair’s YouTube channel has impressed video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov, who tells Moscow 360 that with some professional help, “this could be turned into a million subscribers within a year”. In the meantime, Mr. Yakut says supporters can make donations through a Moscow drainpipe, where he hides his dollars in a deposit box made from a soft-drink bottle. 28. How did Yevgeny Yakut find the method of living in Moscow? A. Through a TV report. B. Through surfing the Internet. C. Through talks with passers-by. D. Through reading an economic book. 29. What does Yevgeny Yakut mainly share with viewers? A. His hard way to success. B. His belief of living a better life. C. His positive attitude toward hard life. D. His daily struggle for living in Moscow. 30. What do we know about video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov? A. He is good at attracting the audience. B. He has confidence in Yakut’s videos. C. He will give Yakut professional help. D. He likes Yakut’s special lifestyle. 31. What kind of person is Yevgeny Yakut according to the passage? A. Generous and famous. B. Positive and humorous. C. Smart and careful. D. Hard-working and educated. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道的是一个无家可归的流浪汉，在火车站的电视上看到可以靠在博客上制作广告赚钱，从而得到启发的事情。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was warming myself in a railway station when I saw a television report on bloggers earning money by making advertisements,” he tells the TV channel Moscow 360.(他告诉电视频道莫斯科 360：“我在火车站取暖时，看到了一则关于博主通过制作广告赚钱的电视报道”)” 可知，Yevgeny Yakut 是通过一则电视报道找到了在莫斯科的生活方法。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A young passerby got chatting to him about the idea, and agreed to be Mr. Yakut’s cameraman, using a smartphone to record his friend’s humorous stories of daily struggle to “find food, a place to sleep, and keep out of the way of the police”. So viewers could see how he lives in central Moscow without a home.(一个年轻的过路人跟他聊了这个想法，并且同意做雅库特先生的摄影师，用智能手机记录他朋友每天为 “找食物、找地方睡觉以及避开警察” 而挣扎的幽默故事。这样观众就可以看到他在莫斯科市中心无家可归的生活)” 可知，Yevgeny Yakut 主要与观众分享他在莫斯科的日常生活挣扎。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The popularity of the pair’s YouTube channel has impressed video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov, who tells Moscow 360 that with some professional help, “this could be turned into a million subscribers within a year”.(这两人的 YouTube 频道的受欢迎程度给视频营销人员基里尔・卡拉什尼科夫留下了深刻印象，他告诉莫斯科 360 频道，在一些专业帮助下，“一年内这个频道的订阅者可能会达到 100 万”)” 可推知，视频营销人员基里尔・卡拉什尼科夫对 Yakut 的视频很有信心。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was warming myself in a railway station when I saw a television report on bloggers earning money by making advertisements,” he tells the TV channel Moscow 360.（他告诉电视频道莫斯科 360：“我在火车站取暖时，看到了一则关于博主通过制作广告赚钱的电视报道”)” 可知，Yakut 能从电视报道中受到启发，想到通过制作视频博客来赚钱，这体现了他的聪明。再根据第三段“He also shows viewers the best place he has found to wash and shave — a modern shopping centre bathroom — and how to make use of the items other Muscovites have abandoned in the city’s bins.(他还向观众展示了他找到的洗漱和刮胡子的最佳地点 —— 一个现代化的购物中心卫生间 —— 以及如何利用其他莫斯科人丢弃在城市垃圾桶里的物品)” 可知，他能发现这些生活中的细节并加以利用，体现了他的细心。选项 C“聪明且细心的”符合对 Yevgeny Yakut 的描述。故选 C。 D Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings? Have you ever imagined it’s a dancing pattern of lights? The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art? Whatever your opinion, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things. Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River during the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings. The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”? Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected. 32. How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman’s artworks? A. By talking to her on the phone. B. By lighting up the artworks. C. By touching their phone screens. D. By coloring the patterns. 33. What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate? A. Achievements of China’s technology. B. The influence of art on technology. C. Interaction between viewers and art. D. Easier access to art caused by technology. 34. What do we know about the combination of art and technology? A. It lowers the quality of artworks. B. It involves common people in innovation. C. It shortens the time of painting. D. It makes scientists the real creators of art. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards combining technology with art? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Positive. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文探讨了科技与艺术的结合对艺术世界的影响。这种结合有好处但也导致了一些问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns.(游客不仅可以欣赏它们，还可以通过使用手机改变颜色和图案来真正地与它们互动)” 可知，观众是通过触摸手机屏幕来与珍妮特・埃切尔曼的艺术作品互动。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River during the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.(然而，如今技术的进步导致了艺术与技术的结合，极大地改变了艺术世界。现在我们更容易接触到艺术了。例如，人们过去常常要排队六个小时，却只能花有限的时间欣赏著名的 5 米长的中国画作《清明上河图》。然而，多亏了技术，观众可以悠闲地体验这幅画的数字版本，画中的人物可以移动并与周围环境互动)” 可知，这个例子表明了技术使得人们更容易接触到艺术。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.(我们不仅可以与艺术互动，还可以参与艺术创作。有了触手可及的新技术工具，更多的人正在探索新的艺术形式，如数字绘画和视频)” 可知，艺术与技术的结合让普通人参与到了艺术创新中。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Now art is more accessible to us.(现在我们更容易接触到艺术了)”以及根据第五段“Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation.(我们不仅可以与艺术互动，还可以参与艺术创作)”，根据第六段 “However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality.(然而，它也引发了对其整体质量的质疑)”以及第七段“Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.(同样，这样的发展也让艺术与技术之间的界限变得不那么明显)”可知，作者既阐述了艺术与技术结合带来的积极影响也提到了它带来的问题。由此可推知作者对艺术与技术结合的态度是客观的。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A quick exercise can leave you feeling empowered, confident, and more energetic. ___36___ From fun to intense to productive, we’ve listed all the best workout options below.

This exercise is also super connected to longevity (长寿) and fighting off chronic disease. Garden for 20 minutes. Exercise doesn’t have to mean sweating and lifting weights.

Jump roping can be an intense, calorie-burning workout. You loved it as a kid.(跳绳8分钟。跳绳可以是一种强烈的卡路里燃烧的锻炼。你小时候爱它)”可知，上文提到了小时候喜欢跳绳，推测本句是在说明成年人对此的看法。故C选项“现在作为一个成年人，你会爱上它对你身体的好处！”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据本段内容“A nice jog can leave you feeling refreshed and burn calories quickly. The amount of calories you’ll burn during running depends on how much ground you cover, and typically, I mile equals about 100 calories. So if you’d rather take it slow, no worries. Or if you’re pressed for time, head out for a quick sprint instead! Running isn’t just a great way to burn calories. This exercise is also super connected to longevity (长寿) and fighting off chronic disease.(一次愉快的慢跑可以让你感觉神清气爽，并迅速燃烧卡路里。你在跑步过程中燃烧的卡路里量取决于你跑了多少地，一般来说，1英里大约等于100卡路里。所以如果你想慢慢来，不用担心。或者如果你时间紧迫，那就去快速冲刺吧！跑步不仅仅是一种燃烧卡路里的好方法。这种运动也与长寿和抵抗慢性疾病超级相关)”可知，本段的建议是跑步，故A选项“跑10分钟”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Garden for 20 minutes. Exercise doesn’t have to mean sweating and lifting weights. Pull out those garden sheers (支架) instead!

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong. “What am I to do?” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”. Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” Paragraph 1: Slowly, Peter raised his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him. 【答案】 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. He said, “I spelled contribution with ’s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. To his surprise, Mr. White held up Peter’s testpaper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, adding that Peter taught us all a lesson on being honest. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了彼得在英语拼写测试中得了一百分，老师奖给他一本他最喜欢的英汉词典，他很高兴，但老师把试卷还给他后，他发现自己拼错了单词，自己没资格得奖，他陷入了是否说出真相的两难境地，最后他想起了妈妈的话：“我们应该做一个诚实的人。” 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“彼得慢慢地举起了手。”可知，第一段可描写彼得坦白事实，得到了老师的谅解。 2.续写线索：站起来——坦白——同学惊讶——老师夸奖 3词汇激活 行为类 ①递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sth. to sb. ②举起：hold up/put up ③补充说，继续说：add that.../go on saying that... 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②笑：smile/beam 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper.
