Do you want to work out to stay healthy? The following are some home workouts you can try.
HIIT Workout
Interval training (HIIT) uses high-intensity exercises combined with short rest periods to maximize calorie burn and cardiorespiratory (心肺的) fitness. There are two HIT circuits (循环训练) for different people.
For beginners: start with 30 seconds of workout, followed by 30 seconds of rest.
For the advanced: do 45 seconds of workout and 15 seconds of rest.
Yoga
Yoga combines breathing techniques, meditation (冥想) and different poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress. Practicing yoga comes with many benefits for both mental and physical health. It helps to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Find a beginner workout and practice regularly, step by step.
CrossFit
When we think of CrossFit, probably the gym comes to our mind along with a lot of tools. At home and without these tools, CrossFit is a little more challenging, but not impossible. This is a good core workout:
Complete 5 rounds of:
·Ten sit-ups
·Five push-ups
·45-second plank
·Ten push-ups
·60-second plank
·Fifteen sit-ups
Please rest 60 seconds between rounds.
Pilates
Pilates is a whole-body fitness, adaptable to many fitness levels and needs, develops core strength, increases flexibility, improves posture and increases energy level. Unlike some types of exercises, Pilates won’t over-develop some parts of the body and ignore others. It focuses on core strength while training the body as an inseparable one.
1 Which workout should you try if you’re under pressure?
A. HIIT Workout. B. Yoga. C. CrossFit. D. Pilates.
2. What’s special about Pilates?
A. It aims to train your body as a whole.
B. It requires you to do sit-ups and push-ups.
C. It may over-develop some parts of your body.
D. It has two circuits for beginners and the advanced.
3. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To teach people to lose weight.
B. To ask people to go to the gym.
C. To introduce some home exercise.
D. To compare different home workouts.
B
More recently, I had the same struggles as everyone else with social media. I’m not sure precisely how many hours I’ve spent carefully composing replies to obvious trolls (恶意挑衅的帖子) or worrying about life because I’m being force-fed the opinions of the worst people in the world. Worse, nothing seemed to keep me away: I could set myself time limits, use blockers, delete my accounts, but somehow, I would keep slipping back, spending the last 20 minutes of every evening despairing about the state of the world.
Eventually, I had an idea. In nutrition circles, there’s a strategy called “crowding out” your diet: adding in more and more healthy food until there’s simply no room for the junk. Eat four eggs at breakfast and an apple as a morning snack, and a mid-morning creamy cookie won’t cross your mind. I decided to do the same with books: by committing to reading for two or three hours a day, I would leave myself with no time for online storms.
But I found Jane Austen was my Mount Everest when I kicked off with her Emma. I had to force myself through the first two chapters: page after page of character names, relationships and complex asides (旁白), and... I’ve always been a pretty good reader, but there’s a difference between reading the latest pop-sci bestseller and truly understanding the 19th-century great. Not long after that, though, something clicked. Suddenly I was... enjoying Austen.
So, it worked. These days, if I get anxious after 10:00 pm, it’s about the injustices of the Victorian time, rather than the micro plastics in my water bottle or any annoying pile-on I read online. Nowadays for a happy hour or so before bed, I get thoroughly lost in the cares of someone who lived a century or more ago.
4. What did the author struggle with recently?
A. Inability to identify trolls. B. Overuse of social media.
C. Difficulty in servicing an account. D. Anxiety about political issues.
5. What does the author mainly intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Illustrate a practical solution. B. Recommend a dietary approach.
C. Describe a personal experience. D. Explain a philosophical concept.
6. Which best describes the author’s initial feeling about reading Emma?
A. It was an easy read. B. It was an escape from reality.
C. It was an uphill struggle. D. It was a rewarding experience.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Classics Brings Back Confidence
B. The Necessity to Say No to Trolls
C. Screen to Page: Jane Austen Shows a Way Out
D. A Chance Encounter: Jane Austen Is My Mount Everest
C
Last December, researchers at the National Ignition Facility(NIF)had made a breakthrough in fusion (核聚变)energy, the same chemical process that powers the stars and our sun. They had succeeded in producing the first laboratory fusion reaction that produces more energy than it takes to cause the reaction. It made headlines around the world.
At extremely high temperatures and pressure, the atoms break into their components — nuclei (原子核) and electrons. This kind of positive nuclei and negative electrons is referred to as plasma (等离子体). It is considered the fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Fusion is a process that takes place in the plasma state. The process of fusion produces a huge amount of energy which, in turn, causes further fusion reactions.
Our sun is incredibly efficient in producing fusion energy; its huge mass creates the pressure and temperatures needed to keep the reaction going. Earth can’t recreate the high pressure and temperature conditions of the sun, so scientists must find techniques in laboratories to start the reaction.
The NIF experiment successfully proved that fusion isn’t just a theoretical concept: we are able to create an energy source that is self-sustaining. Fusion also has the advantage — it does not cause radioactive waste.
However, despite billions of dollars of government funding put into fusion research, we are still decades away from fusion-produced electricity. Humans have produced fusion reactions in the past, with nuclear bombs. But in bombs, the energy is released too quickly. Scientists will need to figure out how to release energy in a controlled and consistent manner for regular use.
Even if we can overcome challenges in the development, will fusion be able to compete with solar and wind power for cost and availability? The future of fusion may not be clear at the moment, but it is truly brilliant for science and society to see the power of the sun come to life in a lab setting.
8. What facts have we learned about the first laboratory fusion reaction?
A. It was a big success. B. It escaped public attention.
C. It produced less energy than expected. D. It introduced the fourth state of matter.
9. What is a big advantage of fusion energy?
A. It depends on the sun. B. It can be clean energy.
C. It is an unexpected energy source. D. It works under normal conditions.
10. What can be implied about producing fusion energy in paragraph 5?
A. It faces some challenges now. B. It isn’t supported by governments.
C. It may cause very dangerous consequences. D. It cannot compete with solar and wind power.
11. Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A. The future of fusion is clear and bright.
B. Fusion energy will be the main energy one day.
C. The present achievements in fusion energy are remarkable.
D. The experimental techniques are essential to producing fusion energy.
D
Although daydreaming is often seen as an enjoyable escape from the dull, tough or repetitive aspects of everyday life, the act of “pleasurable thinking” is more challenging and less satisfying than many people might think, according to a growing body of research.
Years ago, Nicholas Buttrick and his team conducted a study. The researchers asked, “Which is more enjoyable: trying to think enjoyable thoughts or doing daily individual activities?” They found that of the 2,557 participants from 12 sites in 11 countries, most people, across cultures, enjoyed engaging in individual activities more than thinking freely and entertaining themselves with their thoughts as best they could. “Participants randomly assigned to do something reported significantly greater gratification than that of participants randomly assigned to think for pleasure, and the results were consistent in every country,” Buttrick concluded.
Recently, a follow-up study led by Erin Westgate, a psychology professor at the University of Florida, investigated why so many people do not choose to think for pleasure, and when directed to do so, struggle to concentrate successfully.
The researchers started by providing participants with specific examples of meaningful topics and then instructed them to think “meaningful” thoughts. Surprisingly, they discovered that asking people to think meaningful thoughts actually made daydreaming much less enjoyable than freely thinking about unguided thoughts. “I was so confused,” Westgate said. But after analyzing which meaningful topics participants reported thinking about when asked to think about something meaningful, she realized that “they were heavy stuff”.
Westgate wants to help people recapture that daydream state, which may boost wellness. Although improving daydream states can be difficult, she recommends priming (指引) the brain to think about topics that are both enjoyable and meaningful.
“It’s something that sets us apart. Thinking for pleasure allows us to imagine new realities,” Westgate said. “But that kind of thinking requires practice. As you build your ability to daydream, you’ll have a source of enjoyable thoughts during stressful times. The next time you’re walking, instead of pulling out your phone, try it.”
12. What is the common understanding of “pleasurable thinking” among people?
A. It is a form of relaxation. B. It is a usual daily practice.
C. It is a sign of wasting time. D. It is a hard but rewarding activity.
13. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “gratification” in paragraph 2?
A. Success. B. Boredom. C. Hesitation. D. Enjoyment.
14. Which of the following made Westgate puzzled?
A. The research methods.
B. The joy levels of the participants.
C. The participants’ choice of meaningful topics.
D. The lack of a clear definition of “meaningful thoughts”.
15. What advice does Westgate give to people?
A. Focusing on new realities.
B. Engaging in physical exercise.
C. Keeping daydreaming during tough times.
D. Daydreaming on both pleasant and significant subjects.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a freezing cold December morning, I led Martin to the third-grade classroom I was in charge of. He lowered his head, which I thought was due to his shyness. Also, I noticed him wearing a pair of shoes apparently outgrowing his shoe size. “Maybe he comes from a financially disadvantaged family,” I thought to myself.
However, it was also hard to understand Martin’s behavior. When asked to make a self- introduction on the platform, he simply spelled his name, leaving the other students confused. Besides, Martin’s study habits and skills were nowhere to be seen. Unable to recognize some English letters, he even failed to write a short essay according to given instructions.
Therefore, I wondered whether a special school teaching kids with autism (自闭症) was more suitable for him. I looked through his previous grade reports, only to find that his academic performances in the first grade were great. To figure out what happened to him, I decided to visit his former school and communicate with the headteacher. I learned that Martin’s mom had a mental disorder after getting divorced last year. Now, the little boy had to take care of both himself and his mom. Since Martin’s brainpower was normal, he would stay put in my class.
I had never encountered a student like Martin before. It was a headache to help him fit into and catch up with his classmates. I had dreamed about teaching, so I hated it when the idea of giving up such a student lingered (萦绕) vividly in my mind.
Two days later, it was Martin’s turn to clean the blackboard. Rising to his feet and ready to walk to the platform, he was tripped by one student on purpose. Suddenly, he couldn’t resist weeping alone. Contrary to what I assumed, no one lent him a helping hand. I sent Martin to the infirmary (医务室) and screamed at the others that Martin’s difference was a reason for being treated warmly and nicely.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin.

More recently, I had the same struggles as everyone else with social media. I’m not sure precisely how many hours I’ve spent carefully composing replies to obvious trolls (恶意挑衅的帖子) or worrying about life because I’m being force-fed the opinions of the worst people in the world. Worse, nothing seemed to keep me away: I could set myself time limits, use blockers, delete my accounts, but somehow, I would keep slipping back, spending the last 20 minutes of every evening despairing about the state of the world.
Eventually, I had an idea. In nutrition circles, there’s a strategy called “crowding out” your diet: adding in more and more healthy food until there’s simply no room for the junk. Eat four eggs at breakfast and an apple as a morning snack, and a mid-morning creamy cookie won’t cross your mind. I decided to do the same with books: by committing to reading for two or three hours a day, I would leave myself with no time for online storms.
But I found Jane Austen was my Mount Everest when I kicked off with her Emma. I had to force myself through the first two chapters: page after page of character names, relationships and complex asides (旁白), and... I’ve always been a pretty good reader, but there’s a difference between reading the latest pop-sci bestseller and truly understanding the 19th-century great. Not long after that, though, something clicked. Suddenly I was... enjoying Austen.
So, it worked. These days, if I get anxious after 10:00 pm, it’s about the injustices of the Victorian time, rather than the micro plastics in my water bottle or any annoying pile-on I read online. Nowadays for a happy hour or so before bed, I get thoroughly lost in the cares of someone who lived a century or more ago.
4. What did the author struggle with recently?
A. Inability to identify trolls. B. Overuse of social media.
C. Difficulty in servicing an account. D. Anxiety about political issues.
5. What does the author mainly intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Illustrate a practical solution. B. Recommend a dietary approach.
C. Describe a personal experience. D. Explain a philosophical concept.
6. Which best describes the author’s initial feeling about reading Emma?
A. It was an easy read. B. It was an escape from reality.
C. It was an uphill struggle. D. It was a rewarding experience.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Classics Brings Back Confidence
B. The Necessity to Say No to Trolls
C. Screen to Page: Jane Austen Shows a Way Out
D. A Chance Encounter: Jane Austen Is My Mount Everest
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C

I’m not sure precisely how many hours I’ve spent carefully composing replies to obvious trolls (恶意挑衅的帖子) or worrying about life because I’m being force-fed the opinions of the worst people in the world. Worse, nothing seemed to keep me away: I could set myself time limits, use blockers, delete my accounts, but somehow, I would keep slipping back, spending the last 20 minutes of every evening despairing about the state of the world. (最近,我和其他人一样,在社交媒体上遇到了同样的困扰。我不确定自己究竟花了多少小时来仔细构思对明显恶意挑衅帖子的回复,或者因为被迫接受世界上那些最糟糕的人的观点而担忧生活。更糟糕的是,似乎没有什么能让我远离社交媒体:我可以给自己设定时间限制,使用屏蔽软件,甚至删除自己的账号,但不知怎的,我总会再次沉迷其中,每天晚上最后20分钟都在为世界的现状感到绝望。)”可知,作者最近与社交媒体使用过度作斗争。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Eventually, I had an idea. In nutrition circles, there’s a strategy called “crowding out” your diet: adding in more and more healthy food until there’s simply no room for the junk. Eat four eggs at breakfast and an apple as a morning snack, and a mid-morning creamy cookie won’t cross your mind. I decided to do the same with books: by committing to reading for two or three hours a day, I would leave myself with no time for online storms. (最终,我想到了一个办法。在营养学界,有一种策略叫做“挤出”你的饮食:不断增加健康食物的摄入量,直到没有空间留给垃圾食品。早餐吃四个鸡蛋,上午再吃一个苹果作为零食,这样你上午就不会想吃奶油饼干了。我决定对书籍也采取同样的做法:每天承诺阅读两到三个小时,这样我就没有时间参与网络上的纷争了。)”可知,作者在第二段通过类比营养学中的“挤出”策略(用健康食物占据饮食空间),提出通过长时间阅读来“挤出”社交媒体时间的方法,可得出第二段作者主要想说明一个实用的解决方案,即通过阅读来减少社交媒体的使用。故选A。

Last December, researchers at the National Ignition Facility(NIF)had made a breakthrough in fusion (核聚变)energy, the same chemical process that powers the stars and our sun. They had succeeded in producing the first laboratory fusion reaction that produces more energy than it takes to cause the reaction. It made headlines around the world.
At extremely high temperatures and pressure, the atoms break into their components — nuclei (原子核) and electrons. This kind of positive nuclei and negative electrons is referred to as plasma (等离子体). It is considered the fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Fusion is a process that takes place in the plasma state. The process of fusion produces a huge amount of energy which, in turn, causes further fusion reactions.
Our sun is incredibly efficient in producing fusion energy; its huge mass creates the pressure and temperatures needed to keep the reaction going. Earth can’t recreate the high pressure and temperature conditions of the sun, so scientists must find techniques in laboratories to start the reaction.
The NIF experiment successfully proved that fusion isn’t just a theoretical concept: we are able to create an energy source that is self-sustaining. Fusion also has the advantage — it does not cause radioactive waste.
However, despite billions of dollars of government funding put into fusion research, we are still decades away from fusion-produced electricity. Humans have produced fusion reactions in the past, with nuclear bombs. But in bombs, the energy is released too quickly. Scientists will need to figure out how to release energy in a controlled and consistent manner for regular use.
Even if we can overcome challenges in the development, will fusion be able to compete with solar and wind power for cost and availability? The future of fusion may not be clear at the moment, but it is truly brilliant for science and society to see the power of the sun come to life in a lab setting.
8. What facts have we learned about the first laboratory fusion reaction?
A. It was a big success. B. It escaped public attention.
C. It produced less energy than expected. D. It introduced the fourth state of matter.
9. What is a big advantage of fusion energy?
A. It depends on the sun. B. It can be clean energy.
C. It is an unexpected energy source. D. It works under normal conditions.
10. What can be implied about producing fusion energy in paragraph 5?
A. It faces some challenges now. B. It isn’t supported by governments.
C. It may cause very dangerous consequences. D. It cannot compete with solar and wind power.
11. Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A. The future of fusion is clear and bright.
B. Fusion energy will be the main energy one day.
C. The present achievements in fusion energy are remarkable.
D. The experimental techniques are essential to producing fusion energy.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

Although daydreaming is often seen as an enjoyable escape from the dull, tough or repetitive aspects of everyday life, the act of “pleasurable thinking” is more challenging and less satisfying than many people might think, according to a growing body of research.
Years ago, Nicholas Buttrick and his team conducted a study. The researchers asked, “Which is more enjoyable: trying to think enjoyable thoughts or doing daily individual activities?” They found that of the 2,557 participants from 12 sites in 11 countries, most people, across cultures, enjoyed engaging in individual activities more than thinking freely and entertaining themselves with their thoughts as best they could. “Participants randomly assigned to do something reported significantly greater gratification than that of participants randomly assigned to think for pleasure, and the results were consistent in every country,” Buttrick concluded.
Recently, a follow-up study led by Erin Westgate, a psychology professor at the University of Florida, investigated why so many people do not choose to think for pleasure, and when directed to do so, struggle to concentrate successfully.
The researchers started by providing participants with specific examples of meaningful topics and then instructed them to think “meaningful” thoughts. Surprisingly, they discovered that asking people to think meaningful thoughts actually made daydreaming much less enjoyable than freely thinking about unguided thoughts. “I was so confused,” Westgate said. But after analyzing which meaningful topics participants reported thinking about when asked to think about something meaningful, she realized that “they were heavy stuff”.
Westgate wants to help people recapture that daydream state, which may boost wellness. Although improving daydream states can be difficult, she recommends priming (指引) the brain to think about topics that are both enjoyable and meaningful.
“It’s something that sets us apart. Thinking for pleasure allows us to imagine new realities,” Westgate said. “But that kind of thinking requires practice. As you build your ability to daydream, you’ll have a source of enjoyable thoughts during stressful times. The next time you’re walking, instead of pulling out your phone, try it.”
12. What is the common understanding of “pleasurable thinking” among people?
A. It is a form of relaxation. B. It is a usual daily practice.
C. It is a sign of wasting time. D. It is a hard but rewarding activity.
13. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “gratification” in paragraph 2?
A. Success. B. Boredom. C. Hesitation. D. Enjoyment.
14. Which of the following made Westgate puzzled?
A. The research methods.
B. The joy levels of the participants.
C. The participants’ choice of meaningful topics.
D. The lack of a clear definition of “meaningful thoughts”.
15. What advice does Westgate give to people?
A. Focusing on new realities.
B. Engaging in physical exercise.
C. Keeping daydreaming during tough times.
D. Daydreaming on both pleasant and significant subjects.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了愉快的思考的含义,以及如何愉快的思考。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Although daydreaming is often seen as an enjoyable escape from the dull, tough or repetitive aspects of everyday life, the act of “pleasurable thinking” is more challenging and less satisfying than many people might think, according to a growing body of research.(尽管白日做梦通常被认为是逃避日常生活枯燥、艰难或重复的一种愉快的方式,但越来越多的研究表明,“愉快思考”的行为比许多人想象的更具挑战性,也不那么令人满意)”可知,人们对“愉快思考”的共同理解是这是一种放松的方式。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“They found that of the 2,557 participants from 12 sites in 11 countries, most people, across cultures, enjoyed engaging in individual activities more than thinking freely and entertaining themselves with their thoughts as best they could.(他们发现,在来自11个国家12个地点的2557名参与者中,不同文化背景的大多数人更喜欢参与个人活动,而不是自由思考和尽可能地用自己的想法娱乐自己)”可知,被随机分配做某件事的参与者比被随机分配思考快乐的参与者报告的满足感要大得多,推知gratification应是“满足感”之意,和D项意思相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Surprisingly, they discovered that asking people to think meaningful thoughts actually made daydreaming much less enjoyable than freely thinking about unguided thoughts. “I was so confused,” Westgate said.(令人惊讶的是,他们发现,要求人们思考有意义的内容实际上会让白日梦的乐趣大打折扣,远不如自由放飞思绪来得愉快。“我当时非常困惑,”韦斯特盖特说)”可知,思考有意义的内容远不如自由放飞思绪来得愉快,所以是参与者的快乐程度,让韦斯特盖特感到困惑。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Westgate wants to help people recapture that daydream state, which may boost wellness. Although improving daydream states can be difficult, she recommends priming (指引) the brain to think about topics that are both enjoyable and meaningful.(韦斯特盖特希望帮助人们重拾白日梦的状态,这可能会促进健康。尽管改善白日梦状态可能很困难,但她建议让大脑开始思考既有趣又有意义的话题)”可知,韦斯特盖特建议对愉快和重要的话题做白日梦。故选D项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a freezing cold December morning, I led Martin to the third-grade classroom I was in charge of. He lowered his head, which I thought was due to his shyness. Also, I noticed him wearing a pair of shoes apparently outgrowing his shoe size. “Maybe he comes from a financially disadvantaged family,” I thought to myself.
However, it was also hard to understand Martin’s behavior. When asked to make a self- introduction on the platform, he simply spelled his name, leaving the other students confused. Besides, Martin’s study habits and skills were nowhere to be seen. Unable to recognize some English letters, he even failed to write a short essay according to given instructions.
Therefore, I wondered whether a special school teaching kids with autism (自闭症) was more suitable for him. I looked through his previous grade reports, only to find that his academic performances in the first grade were great. To figure out what happened to him, I decided to visit his former school and communicate with the headteacher. I learned that Martin’s mom had a mental disorder after getting divorced last year. Now, the little boy had to take care of both himself and his mom. Since Martin’s brainpower was normal, he would stay put in my class.
I had never encountered a student like Martin before. It was a headache to help him fit into and catch up with his classmates. I had dreamed about teaching, so I hated it when the idea of giving up such a student lingered (萦绕) vividly in my mind.
Two days later, it was Martin’s turn to clean the blackboard. Rising to his feet and ready to walk to the platform, he was tripped by one student on purpose. Suddenly, he couldn’t resist weeping alone. Contrary to what I assumed, no one lent him a helping hand. I sent Martin to the infirmary (医务室) and screamed at the others that Martin’s difference was a reason for being treated warmly and nicely.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility. The next day, I had a heartfelt chat with Martin at his home. Sensing I was worth trusting, Martin sighed, “Thanks for your kindness. But burdened with huge family pressure, I feel my future will be dark.” In response, I held his hands firmly, convincing him that nothing was impossible with a willing heart. “Let’s fight for a promising future together, shall we?” I continued. He nodded slightly.
Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin. He was no longer ashamed of his appearance. In classes, with his attention fixed on the Powerpoint slides and textbooks, he handled reading comprehension from scratch, managed to read lengthy texts and voiced his own opinions. During breaks, long gone were the days when Martin had escaped to his inner safe space. Befriending classmates around him, he found they were on the same wavelength. I came to realize that no matter what problems my students had, I, as a teacher, should try my best to help them out.
