①Although the benefits of regular exercise are well documented,there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list.New research found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia(痴呆症) in later life and ②if they did,it came on a decade later than less sporty women.Lead researcher Dr Helena Hörder,of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden,said:“These findings are exciting ③because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular(心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study,191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test ④until they were tired out to measure their peak(最大值的) cardiovascular capacity.

状语从句
一、概述
定义:状语是用来修饰谓语、形容词或副词,或是整个句子的成分。当充当状语的部分是一个句子时,该句子就是状语从句。
位置:状语从句可以放在主句之前,也可以放在主句之后,时间、条件、原因和让步状语从句放在句首时需要用逗号和主句隔开。
分类:根据其作用可分为时间、地点、原因、条件、目的、让步、结果、方式和比较等状语从句。

A
The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away.Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds.The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear,and herds of bison(野牛) grow restless.The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations,and now,it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own.Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born.Not as a visitor,but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old,she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain.A doctor was called for.They waited.A messenger was sent.The doctor still didn’t come.Susan provided what comfort she could through the night,but by sunrise,the elderly woman had died.The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia—a historically significant college with a program for native American students.And she finished second in her class.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed,full of powwows,buffalo hunts and the people she loved.But there was further to go.She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania,a tedious train ride away from the world she knew.It was 1886,and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.In her graduation speech from Hampton,she told the East Coast audience,“Give us a chance.” Three years later,she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task.She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients.The lines were long,old and young seeking reprieve(缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis(肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases.Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow,walking miles to make house calls.Her work was more than as a physician.She often acted as lawyer,accountant,priest,political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world.And Dr.Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了苏珊·拉·弗莱什因为家乡缺乏医疗资源于是想要成为一名医生,经过不懈努力完成了大学学业,回到了家乡开始为人民服务。

(2024·辽宁大连高三上期末)
Stories have long been employed to instill(灌输) moral and cultural values in young children,but there is little research exploring the effectiveness of such stories.
“As parents,we want to know how effective the stories actually are in promoting honesty,” say lead author Kang Lee of the Dr.Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the University of Toronto and co-author Victoria Talwar of McGill University.“Is it ‘in one ear,out the other,’ or do children listen and take the messages to heart?”
To find out,Lee and Talwar conducted an experiment with 268 children aged 3 to 7.Each child played a game that required guessing the identity of a toy based on the sound it made.In the middle of the game,the experimenter left the room for a minute,instructing the child not to glance at a toy left on the table.For most children,this temptation(诱惑) was too hard to resist.When the experimenter returned,she read the child a story,either The Tortoise and the Hare,The Boy Who Cried Wolf,Pinocchio,or George Washington and the Cherry Tree.Afterward,the experimenter asked the child to tell the truth about whether he or she glanced at the toy.
Contrary to the experimenters’ expectations,Pinocchio and The Boy Who Cried Wolf,which associate lying with negative consequences,were no more effective at promoting honest behavior than a fable unrelated to honesty,in this case The Tortoise and the Hare.Only the made-up tale about young George Washington seemed to inspire the kids to admit glancing: Children who heard the tale in which the future first president was complimented because of admitting his mistake and rewarded a candy were three times more likely to tell the truth than their fellows who heard other stories.
“Our study shows that to promote moral behavior such as honesty,emphasizing the positive outcomes of honesty rather than the negative consequences of dishonesty is the key,” note they.“This may apply to other moral behaviors as well.”
They also warn that more research is necessary to determine whether moral stories influence kids’ behavior in the long term.Still,they have been quick to take advantage of the findings.Talwar reports a shift in her own parenting practices: “It really seems to work.I use this now with my child.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于道德故事的有效性的实验及其发现。
5.What is the aim of the experiment mentioned in the text?
A.To find out which story is instructive at school.
B.To make sure if the children can resist the temptation.
C.To see the effectiveness of stories in promoting honesty.
D.To ensure the precision in guessing the identity of the toy.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As parents,we want to know how effective the stories actually are in promoting honesty”可推知,文中提到的实验的目的是看看故事在促进诚实方面的有效性。故选C。
6.What does the underlined word“complimented”mean in paragraph 4?
A.Criticized. B.Praised.
C.Ignored. D.Respected.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“the future first president was”和下文“because of admitting his mistake and rewarded a candy”可知,这位未来的第一任总统因承认错误而受到称赞,由此可知,compliment意为“称赞”。故选B。
7.What does Talwar mean in the last paragraph?
A.She will apply the finding to her child.
B.Her child shows a strong interest in moral stories.
C.Her parents have changed their way of education.
D.She perceives the positive influence of moral stories on her child.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Talwar reports a shift in her own parenting practices:‘It really seems to work.I use this now with my child.’”可知,她意识到道德故事对孩子的积极影响。故选D。
8.Which word can describe the author’s attitude in the text?
A.Unclear. B.Contradictory.
C.Sympathetic. D.Objective.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中“Our study shows that to promote moral behavior such as honesty,emphasizing the positive outcomes of honesty rather than the negative consequences of dishonesty is the key”和最后一段中“They also warn that more research is necessary to determine whether moral stories influence kids’ behavior in the long term.”可知,作者一方面指出了实验结果,另一方面又提出实验结果的局限性,由此可知,作者的态度是客观的。故选D。
Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2024·湖北孝感高二上期末)
Trust is the basic foundation of any relationship in both professional and personal capacity.Here are some ways to build trust and be trustworthy.
Be always honest. Honesty is a virtue that must be cultivated(培养) fully if you desire to establish trust with others.Half-truths and white lies are a recipe for disaster. 1
Communicate effectively. Poor communication is one of the main reasons why trust is unable to be sustained(维持) in any environment.The failure to clarify your stand may lead to unpleasant assumption. 2 If you want to avoid any issues,it’s important to communicate openly and freely with other involved parties in the beginning.
3 Promises are not meant to be broken.Once you make a promise,it’s as binding(必须遵守的) as legal papers.It’s important that you honor your commitments if you’re interested in building trust.
Do not be too quick in making decisions.There is no need to take too much pressure if you’re faced with a dilemma. 4 If the other part asks you to make a comment immediately and you have reservations about it,you can decline the task and say no in the beginning.
Take the necessary time. 5 It’s an ongoing process that needs time to take root and develop effectively.Steady progress is possible only if it’s a regular activity; therefore,prepare to take small steps if you are looking for ways to build trust.Focus on the endgame and do not expect results in the beginning.
A.Keep your word.
B.Don’t take everything for granted.
C.Trust cannot be earned in seconds.
D.This can cause disagreements and the breaking of trust.
E.Therefore,avoid them at all costs if you are trying to build trust.
F.You’d better take the time to consider your approach from every angle.
G.Make sure you are paying attention to old and new relationships equally.
1.答案 E
解析 根据本段主题句“Be always honest.”可知,本段强调的是:想要建立信任,必须始终诚实。E项“Therefore,avoid them at all costs if you are trying to build trust.”意义与上文一致,且E项中的“them”指代上文中的“Half-truths and white lies”。故选E项。
2.答案 D
解析 根据上文可知,想要建立信任,必须阐明立场,否则就会有不愉快的假设。D 项进一步说明:因不阐明立场而出现的不愉快的假设会导致分歧和不信任,与上文意义一致,符合语境。故选D项。
3.答案 A
解析 空处是本段的主题句。根据下文“Promises are not meant to be broken.”可知,本段主题是:要遵守诺言。A项“Keep your word.”符合语境。故选A项。
4.答案 F
解析 根据本段主题句“Do not be too quick in making decisions.”可知,本段强调:做决定要慎重。根据下文可知,我们可以不用立即做出决定,而是谨慎思考,甚至拒绝。F项“You’d better take the time to consider your approach from every angle.”说明我们需要谨慎思考,符合题意。故选F项。
5.答案 C
解析 根据本段主题句“Take the necessary time.”和下文可知,建立信任需要花费时间。C项“Trust cannot be earned in seconds.”说明信任的建立需要花时间,与主题相符,与下文意义一致;且下文中的“It”指代的就是C项中的“Trust”。故选C项。
Ⅴ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
The world is full of tick boxes,particularly in our social lives.We want answers and we want them now.From the popularity of the “yes man” to the “it’s okay to say no” revolution,it sometimes feels like we 1. (catch) in a tug-of-war between the two extremes.In reality,both “yes” and “no” have many hugely important 2. (apply) in life.But what about those situations that fall 3. between?
Using “maybe” in my personal and professional life actually lowers my likelihood of breaking 4. promise,reduces disappointment,and makes communication better for everyone involved.
Earlier this week,a friend of mine invited me to a play 5. (star) his son on Friday night.But I,being 6. (terrible) busy at that time,told him it was a “maybe”.It turned out that I ended up 7. (assign) an extra project.It was a pity that I missed his son’s play,but I was not that 8. (shame) of my absence.
Of course,the concept can be used in ways that are irritating or harmful.A “maybe” that sparks joy for you can leave the other person in the dark if not employed responsibly.If possible,let the person who issues the invitation 9. makes the demand of you know roughly how long you’re going to think things over,so he/she knows 10. to expect.
语篇解读 这是一篇议论文。文章讲述对于别人的邀请,介于“可以”和“不行”之间的“可能”对邀请者来说更容易接受。
1.答案 are caught
解析 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,空处为句子谓语,catch和主语we之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态。be caught in意为“被困住”,且表达的是一般的情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,注意主谓一致。
2.答案 applications
解析 考查名词。分析句子及语境可知,空处为名词作宾语,意为“应用,运用”,且前面有many修饰,所以用名词复数。故填applications。
3.答案 in
解析 考查固定搭配。分析句子可知,此处意为“介于两者之间”,为固定短语in between。故填in。
4.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。分析句子可知,此处指“违背承诺”,promise在此处为可数名词,且发音是以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。break a promise意为“违背承诺”。
5.答案 starring
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句子谓语动词为invited,且和空处无and连接,所以空处为非谓语,star和逻辑主语play之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语,修饰play。故填starring。
6.答案 terribly
解析 考查副词。修饰形容词busy要用副词terribly。
7.答案 being assigned
解析 考查固定搭配和动词语态。表示“以……结束”为end up doing sth,且此处assign和逻辑主语I之间是被动关系,所以用动名词的被动形式。故填being assigned。
8.答案 ashamed
解析 考查形容词。分析句子可知,空处为形容词作表语,意为“羞愧的”,且此处与of搭配,故填 形容词ashamed。
9.答案 or
解析 考查连词。分析句子可知,空处连接who引导的定语从句中并列的谓语动词issues和makes,且两者之间是选择关系,所以用连词or。
10.答案 what
解析 考查代词。分析句子可知,句子为“疑问词+不定式”结构作know的宾语,表示“期待什么”,所以用疑问代词what。
