Ⅰ.阅读理解
A★
(2025·潍坊一模)On a bright September day in the French Alps in 2022, John McAvoy was 38 kilometres into a very exhausting ultramarathon through rough mountain paths.Battling tiredness, he pushed his body and mind through the final leg of the race.With the finish arch in the famous town of Chamonix just four kilometres away and the cloudtopped peak of Mont Blanc high over him, McAvoy welled up with emotion.
In that moment, he felt so free and alive.It was quite the opposite from where his life had been a decade before.He had just been released from prison after serving a 10year sentence.
Now 40 years old, McAvoy has spent the last 10 years rebuilding his life from one of crime to one with purpose.It was on this day, while running the ultramarathon, that he realized how impactful conquering (征服) this mountain run could be for innercity kids like him.After all, sport had helped him live a normal life again and open up his world.It could do the same for others.
With the help of Youth Beyond Borders, McAvoy started the Alpine Run Project, which recently led 12 disadvantaged British young people through their own Mont Blanc races.The participants, from refugees (难民) to young reformed criminals and those who grew up in Children's home, were matched with coaches, consultants and physiotherapists.After a sixmonth training program, the youth travelled to the Alps to meet up with McAvoy for their race.
McAvoy says the highlight of this project for him was watching Yasmin Mahamud, a 20yearold refugee from Syria, run through the finish arch and into the arms of her new friends.It was a lifechanging high for Mahamud, too—inspiring her to keep running, take up martial arts and go to university to study physiotherapy.
“It changed my point of view on life, says Mahamud.Pushing herself to complete the race gave her a brief experience of her own potential through hard work and devotion.” I will always be thankful to John for giving me this opportunity and guidance.

3.Who most probably took part in the Mont Blanc races?

B★
(2025·宁波“十校”联考)The rate of childhood obesity in the U.S.has tripled over the past 50 years.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, familyoriented lifestyle and behavior plans.It also suggested prescribing weightloss drugs to children 12 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older.This advice reflects the organization's adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.
Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain.Few weightloss drugs have been approved for children.And surgery has potential risks and few longterm safety data.Furthermore, it's not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the psychological burden overweight kids face from the society.
Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U.S.and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.
Why is it so hard to get kids moving? Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports — as public investment in schoolbased athletics dwindles,_expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out.In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers cite increased screen time and a lack of safe places for them to play outside the home.New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019 — a very small amount for its large population.In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youths lived within walking distance of a park.
Kids everywhere need more places to play.Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shareduse agreements can make unused spaces available to the public.These opportunities aren't primarily about changing children's waistlines—they're how we keep childhood healthy and fun.
5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.Childhood obesity is well under control in recent years.
B.Weightloss surgery are recommended to children 12 and older.
C.AAP plays a more active role in fighting against childhood obesity.
D.Expensive as it is, lifestyle programs are practical for most children.
6.The underlined word “dwindle” is closest in meaning to ________.
A.decline B.quit
C.increase D.develop
7.In the author's opinion, what measures should be taken to create more safe areas?
A.Prepare fitness equipment at home.
B.Live within walking distance of a park.
C.Promote investment in private athletics.
D.Open up playgrounds when school's out.
8.What's the main idea of the text?
A.Sports play an important role in children's growth.
B.More safe areas for outdoor fun are in urgent need.
C.Familyoriented lifestyles are crucial to children's health.
D.Medical intervention is important to ease psychological burden.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在过去的50年里,美国儿童肥胖率增加了两倍,美国儿科学会提出的建议难以实现,研究表明多运动有助于身心健康,因此需要投资更多、更安全的地方,让孩子们玩耍运动,文章还分析了孩子运动量减少的原因。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, familyoriented lifestyle and behavior plans.It also suggested prescribing weightloss drugs to children 12 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older.This advice reflects the organization's adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.(美国儿科学会 (AAP) 今年引起了轰动,它建议医生让年仅两岁的肥胖儿童接受强化的、以家庭为导向的生活方式和行为计划。它还建议为 12 岁及以上的儿童开减肥药,并为 13 岁及以上的青少年开手术。这一建议反映了该组织在儿童肥胖问题上采取了更加积极的立场。)”可知,美国儿科学会在对抗儿童肥胖方面发挥着更加积极的作用。故选C项。
6.A 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports — as public investment in schoolbased athletics dwindles,_expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out.(专家将问题归咎于体育运动的私有化——随着对学校体育运动的公共投资dwindles,昂贵的私人联赛不断壮大,许多孩子被排除在外。)”可知,许多孩子被排除在运动之外原因之一是对学校体育运动的公共投资下降减少,划线词意义与“decline (减少)”相近。故选A项。
7.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Kids everywhere need more places to play.Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shareduse agreements can make unused spaces available to the public.(世界各地的孩子都需要更多玩耍的地方。建设和维护这些区域的公共资金至关重要,但共享使用协议等其他选择可以将未使用的空间提供给公众。)”可知,学校放假时开放操场,可以给孩子们提供玩耍空间,这是创建更多安全区域的措施。故选D项。
8.B 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U.S.and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.(美国和具有类似趋势的国家不应该密切关注规模上的数字,而应该关注一个基本事实:我们需要投资于更多、更安全的儿童玩耍场所,让他们可以移动、奔跑、攀爬和跳跃,骑行和滑冰)”和全文可知,文章的主旨大意是迫切需要更多安全的户外娱乐场所。故选B项。
