However, if walking happened at a quick pace of 112 steps a minute for 30 minutes, it maximized risk reduction, leading to a 62% reduction in dementia risk. The 30 minutes of fast-paced walking didn’t have to be finished all at once either — it could be spread out over the day. The new study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, followed78,500 people between the ages of 40 and 79 from England, Scotland and Wales who wore wrist step counters for 24 hours a day over a course of seven days. After counting each person’s total number of steps each day, researchers placed them into two groups: Fewer than 40 steps per minute — which is more of an amble, like when you’re walking from room to room — and more than 40 steps per minute, or so-called “purposeful” walking. A third group was created for peak performers — those who took the most steps per minute within 30 minutes over the course of a day. About seven years later, researchers compared that data to medical records and found people who took the most steps per minute — in this case, about 80 steps per minute — showed the biggest reduction in risk for cancer, heart disease and early death from any cause. There was a 62% reduction for dementia, an 80% decline for cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and death, and about a 20% drop in risk for cancer. “This may be related with specific pathways by which physical activity is helpful,” said Pozo Cruz, one of the researchers. “It pushes the body in general: can generate more muscle, a bigger heart and a better fitness, all of which are known protective factors for cardiovascular disease and cancer, and other health issues too.” 1．Who is least likely to develop dementia according to the study? A．John who walks 3,800 steps a day. B．Tom who walks 10,000 steps a day. C．Chris who walks 78,500 steps a week. D．Bob who walks 3,360 steps in 30 minutes. 2．What does the underlined word “amble” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Jog. B．Rush. C．Slow walk. D．Quick pace. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The research results. B．The purpose of walking. C．The research method. D．The reasons for dementia. 4．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Walking cut the risk of dementia B．Quick walking can be risky C．The best way to prevent cancer D．Quick walking VS slow walking Passage 2 Exercise is important for all. No matter you’re a child, young adult, middle-aged or senior, there are suitable exercises for staying healthy and strong. Exercise for Kids and Teens Exercise is of great importance to teenagers’ growth and health. Heavy lifting isn’t recommended, but body-weight exercises can build strength. Children like active play like running, jumping or sports. Encourage various activities to keep their interest. Ensure they know proper techniques to avoid injuries. Fitness for Young Adults For young adults, an active lifestyle is important for health. Balancing work, social life and exercise is challenging. Find suitable exercises like high-intensity interval training(HIIT). Setting goals help you stay focused. Enough sleep, proper diet and rest days are also needed.Exercise for Middle-Aged Adults Middle-aged people face unique challenges such as career and age-related changes. Strength training is more important for avoiding muscle loss and keeping bones strong. Joint health is a worry for them. Choose activities such as swimming, cycling, or yoga to reduce stress on joints. Fitness for Seniors For seniors, staying active is key to independence and quality of life. Falls are a big worry. Exercises like Tai Chi can improve balance and reduce the risk. Group fitness classes or sports are good for physical health and offer chances to socialize with each other. Pay attention to your body and make necessary changes as needed. 1．Which of the following is NOT recommended for kids and teens? A．Body weight. B．Heavy lifting. C．Running and jumping. D．Playing sports. 2．According to the text, which is TRUE? A．We should limit children’s exercise to avoid injuries. B．Strength training will lead to age-related muscle loss.

However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungryz (资源饥渴). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free. 1．Which of the following does the author most probably like？ A．Cycling around a lake. B．Driving a car on the street. C．Playing basketball in a gym. D．Swimming in a sports centre. 2．What do you know about golf from Paragraph 2？ A．It is unpopular in Portugal and Spain. B．It causes water shortage around the world. C．It protects the earth from chemicals and waste. D．It needs water and energy to keep its courses green. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in the Paragraph 3 refer to？ A．Resource-hungry sports. B．Outdoors sports. C．Environment-friendly sports. D．Indoors sports. 4．The author writes the passage to__________ . A．show us the function of major sports B．encourage us to go in for green sports C．discuss the major influence of popular sports D．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports Passage 4 When Stephanie, my best friend, told me that she wanted to run a marathon (马拉松) and needed my help, I tried to talk her out of it. “You hate running. Marathon training is terrible and takes over your life. It’s running all the time,” I argued. I couldn’t change her mind. So I told her that she should at least do it right: choose a right race and I’d run with her. Finally, we chose the Honolulu Marathon. It took place in Hawaii, a beautiful place. It’s one of the 10 largest marathons in the world, with nearly 22,000 finishers each year. But more importantly, a full 35 percent of them are first-timers. And Honolulu’s course has no cut-off, staying open until the last runner finishes. The race seemed perfect for green runners like Stephanie. Although I have run plenty of my own races, I was surprised by the amount of pressure I felt in this one. Being in charge of your own race is one thing. Being the boss of someone else is another. It was my job to encourage her and make decisions for her while she came across difficulties and wanted to give up during the race. I felt a huge responsibility that her dream of running across the finish line was in my hands. The Honolulu Marathon day proved to be hot and sunny. The temperature hit 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun was strong; shade (树荫) was little and far between. After running for more than four hours, Stephanie was showing signs of heat exhaustion (中暑). I told her to walk until I was sure it was safe for her to keep running again. Soon, the finish line was in sight and as we crossed the line, we hugged, and tears flowed. I knew why Stephanie was crying. It’s amazing when you complete something you never thought possible. 1．What was the author’s attitude towards Stephanie’s running a marathon at first? A．Negative. B．Excited. C．Annoyed. D．Supportive. 2．Why did the author and Stephanie choose to run the Honolulu Marathon? A．They were familiar with the place. B．The race was suitable for beginners. C．They wanted to enjoy the beautiful views there. D．The race was popular among marathon runners. 3．What possibly made the author feel stressed? A．Her decision to turn down her friend. B．The strong competition from other runners. C．The bad performance of Stephanie in training. D．Her duty to support Stephanie in finishing her race. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4? A．The author’s skill in completing a marathon. B．The success of Stephanie’s first marathon race. C．The difficulty in running a marathon for Stephanie. D．The importance of taking a rest during a tough marathon. Passage 5 Active Cities — A Glimpse into Global Fitness Berlin: Sports City in Europe In the middle of Europe, there is Berlin, a city famous for its love of sports. With more than 2,500 sports clubs, Berlin has many things for people who like to exercise. People like to ride bikes in Berlin, and there are special paths for bikes on the city’s old streets. The city also has a big running race called the Berlin Marathon, where runners from all over the world come to join. Sydney: City of the Great Outdoors Far away across the ocean, in Australia, is Sydney, a city that loves being outside. There is a famous path called the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk where people like to run and walk. Water sports are very popular here, and many people enjoy surfing and kayaking. The beaches in Sydney are not just for lying in the sun; they are places where people exercise and have fun together. Tokyo: Old and New Ways to Stay Fit In Asia, Tokyo is a city that mixes old and new ways to stay healthy. There are many places to learn martial arts (武术), which shows that the city values discipline and being strong. Tokyo also has many modern ways to exercise, with lots of gyms and yoga places for people who cared about their health. New York: Always on the Move Adding to our list, New York City is a place where people are always moving. From people running early in the morning in Central Park to yoga classes on rooftops at night, New York is full of activity. The city’s parks are full of people playing sports, from basketball to tai chi. New York’s way of staying fit is as different as the people who live there, with something for everyone.

Passage 6 Social media and the Internet are changing the way we eat and cook. First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, caviar, and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients even sold out: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly vanished from grocery-store shelves. The reason for the shortages? Food enthusiasts were eager to recreate viral videos in which these ingredients starred. People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 1960s-70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home. Successful online food celebrities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers,” explains Madeline Buxton, culture and trends manager at YouTube. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously through people more adventurous than they are. Unlike cooking shows on TV, barriers to entry for online-cooking videos are low. Creators who think they have a winning idea do not need to persuade agents, editors and network executives; they can shoot a video themselves on their phone and see if people like it. Established media companies have got in on the act, but the Internet is mostly full of shorter content. Whereas adventurous TikTokers have tried their hand at complex recipes, approachable food tends to perform best: one reason recipes for baked-feta pasta and cucumber salad went viral is that it is easy to melt cheese and slice cucumbers. It also helps to be visually attractive: viral videos tend to show off the texture and crunch of food. Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was “poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed”. But it has attracted almost 14m views. Much as other food creators do, he shows viewers things they would not otherwise see, and he has a good time doing it. This points to an important aspect of online food culture: fun. Julia Child certainly mastered the art of French cooking, and people who followed her recipes may have enjoyed themselves, but she most believed in the haute (高端的) part of haute cuisine. Reverence (崇敬) does poorly in the democratized world of online content, where training, background and even experience matter less than likeability, production value and whether a video makes you want to pick up a pan and start cooking. Now can you please pass the feta? 1．The author cites Julia Child as an example to suggest that ________. A．the current trend of online cooking videos is not an entirely new phenomenon B．the shortages of certain ingredients were a direct result of popular TV shows C．cooking shows on TV have higher barriers for content creators D．television was as important as social media in the spread of culinary culture 2．Which of the following statements might the author most probably agree with? A．A detailed instruction on how to make high-end French cuisine is likely to go viral. B．Ingredients like cucumbers sold out because of the popularization of French food. C．Even respected chefs cannot guarantee that their videos will take off. D．The shorter a food video is, the more likely it is to gain in popularity. 3．What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage? A．The author highlights how modern cooking has been changed by the Internet. B．The author is drawn to the new culture of cooking on social media. C．The author is convinced that feta, as shown in the videos, can enhance the taste of food. D．The author's own culinary experiences haven't been influenced by online cooking videos. 4．Which of the following serves as the best title for the passage? A．From TV to TikTok: The Rise of Influencers B．A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online C．A Recipe for Success: How to Create Viral Cooking Videos D．Pass Me the Feta: Growing Appetite for Food Ingredients Passage 7 When you see someone take the first sip of freshly-made milk tea, their face looks like pure joy. Today, millions of people enjoy this experience. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor (细品) these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned: Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure, people are enjoying it today, but would they still be in a year, or five years? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These are the questions that Serenitea, a milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. Like Airbnb, Serenite a partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila (CBM) which specializes in finding out deep consumer insights. The agency adopted a series of intensive,psychological-based techniques in their market research. Specifically, they explore the consumers’ deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic. Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses. First, people were connected to milk through the concept of nurture (营养); They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties. They would recall receiving tea when they had a stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered three psychological cornerstones (基石) of the milk tea experience: nurture, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was important. By taking these factors into consideration, milk tea brands could make a plan of an entirely new path. 1．What was Serenitea’s concern in the early 2000s? A．Whether milk tea would become too expensive. B．Whether milk tea would lose its flavor over time. C．Whether milk tea would attract too many competitors. D．Whether milk tea would remain popular in the long term. 2．What does CBM find about milk tea? A．Milk tea is welcomed by parents. B．Milk tea is associated with teenage fun. C．Milk tea does harm to our mental health. D．Milk tea has no healing effect on consumers. 3．What could brands do to make a new path? A．Pay more attention to the package. B．Locate more stores in the big cities. C．Offer as many new flavors as possible. D．Focus on milk tea’s psychological value. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Revealing Milk Tea Psychology B．How to Make Milk Tea Popular C．Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea D．A New Method to Business Success 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 6 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 热点话题06 体育运动与饮食健康 教材相关主题 教材 单元 主题 人教版2019必修一 Unit 3 体育活动、优秀运动员、体育精神与健康的生活方式 外研版2019必修二 Unit 3 体育运动和健康的生活方式 译林版2020必修二 Unit 2 体育运动与健康的生活方式 话题阅读精练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage 1 阅读理解 说明文 331 介绍了快步行走的方式有助于降低患痴呆症的风险 Passage 2 阅读理解 应用文 225 介绍了适合孩子、年轻人、中年人和老年人的锻炼方式 Passage 3 阅读理解 说明文 272 运动可以让人保持健康也可以让人们接近大自然 Passage 4 阅读理解 记叙文 322 最好的朋友斯蒂芬妮想跑马拉松，作者只能帮助它，最终她冲过了终点线，两个人都很激动。 Passage 5 阅读理解 应用文 330 介绍了柏林、悉尼、东京和纽约这几个城市的健身活动情况，展示了世界各地不同的健身方式 Passage 6 阅读理解 说明文 452 社交媒体和互联网改变了饮食烹饪方式，网络烹饪视频兴起后与传统差异及对烹饪文化的影响 Passage 7 阅读理解 说明文 343 介绍了奶茶的流行现象及其背后的心理学研究 素材积累 主题简析 本专题的主题语境为 “体育运动与饮食健康”，它隶属于英语课程标准中 “人与自我” 主题语境下的子话题。在健康生活理念日益普及的当下，体育运动与饮食健康是维持个体良好身心状态的核心要素。体育运动能够增强体质、提升心肺功能、缓解压力，而合理的饮食则为身体提供必要的营养，保障各项生理机能正常运转。通过对这一主题的学习，学生能够认识到规律运动和均衡饮食对健康的重要性，培养健康的生活习惯，学会科学地制定运动计划与饮食方案。这不仅有助于学生在青少年时期塑造强健的体魄、保持充沛的精力投入学习，更能为其终身健康奠定基础，使其在未来生活中，面对工作压力和生活挑战时，依然能够通过体育运动与健康饮食，保持良好的身心状态，实现自我的可持续发展。 句子积累 It is a well - known fact that...：众所周知…… 例如：It is a well - known fact that regular physical exercise is beneficial to our overall health.（众所周知，定期体育锻炼对我们的整体健康有益。） ...play a vital role in...：…… 在…… 中发挥重要作用 例如：Balanced diets play a vital role in maintaining good health.（均衡饮食在保持健康中发挥重要作用。） As is widely recognized, ...：正如人们普遍认为的，…… 例如：As is widely recognized, a combination of proper exercise and a healthy diet is key to a fit body.（正如人们普遍认为的，适度运动与健康饮食相结合是保持身体健康的关键。） It is advisable to...：建议…… 例如：It is advisable to include both aerobic exercise and strength training in your workout routine.（建议在锻炼计划中同时包含有氧运动和力量训练。） Not only...but also...：不但…… 而且…… 例如：Sports not only improve physical strength but also enhance mental well - being.（体育运动不但能增强体力，而且能提升精神健康。） There is no doubt that...：毫无疑问…… 例如：There is no doubt that sufficient nutritional intake is necessary for athletes.（毫无疑问，运动员需要充足的营养摄入。） be essential for...：对…… 至关重要 例如：Adequate sleep is essential for recovery after exercise and maintaining good health.（充足的睡眠对运动后的恢复和保持健康至关重要。） be closely related to...：与…… 密切相关 例如：One's diet is closely related to their risk of developing certain diseases.（一个人的饮食与患某些疾病的风险密切相关。） 必备词块 physical exercise体育锻炼 balanced diet均衡饮食 nutritional intake营养摄入 aerobic exercise有氧运动 strength training力量训练 calorie control热量控制 healthy lifestyle健康生活方式 muscle endurance肌肉耐力 vitamins and minerals维生素和矿物质 sports nutrition运动营养 实战演练 Passage 1 A recent study found walking 10,000 steps a day lowered the risk for dementia (痴呆) by 50%; the risk decreased by 25% with as few as 3,800 steps a day.

There was a 62% reduction for dementia, an 80% decline for cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and death, and about a 20% drop in risk for cancer.(大约七年后，研究人员将这些数据与医疗记录进行了比较，发现每分钟走最多步的人——在这种情况下，大约每分钟走80步——患癌症、心脏病和任何原因导致的早死的风险降低幅度最大。痴呆症的发病率降低了62%，心血管疾病和死亡的发病率降低了80%，癌症的发病率降低了约20%)”可知，第四段的主要内容是研究结果。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study found walking 10,000 steps a day lowered the risk for dementia (痴呆) by 50%; the risk decreased by 25% with as few as 3,800 steps a day. However, if walking happened at a quick pace of 112 steps a minute for 30 minutes, it maximized risk reduction, leading to a 62% reduction in dementia risk. The 30 minutes of fast-paced walking didn’t have to be finished all at once either — it could be spread out over the day.(最近的一项研究发现，每天步行1万步可将患痴呆症的风险降低50%；每天只需走3800步，患病风险就会降低25%。然而，如果以每分钟112步的快速速度步行30分钟，则可以最大限度地降低风险，导致痴呆症风险降低62%。30分钟的快节奏步行也不需要一次完成——它可以分散在一天中)”结合文章主要介绍了快步行走的方式有助于降低患痴呆症的风险。可知，A选项“散步可以降低患痴呆症的风险”最符合文章标题。故选A。 Passage 2 Exercise is important for all.

However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungryz (资源饥渴). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free. 1．Which of the following does the author most probably like？ A．Cycling around a lake. B．Driving a car on the street. C．Playing basketball in a gym. D．Swimming in a sports centre. 2．What do you know about golf from Paragraph 2？ A．It is unpopular in Portugal and Spain. B．It causes water shortage around the world. C．It protects the earth from chemicals and waste. D．It needs water and energy to keep its courses green. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in the Paragraph 3 refer to？ A．Resource-hungry sports. B．Outdoors sports. C．Environment-friendly sports. D．Indoors sports. 4．The author writes the passage to__________ . A．show us the function of major sports B．encourage us to go in for green sports C．discuss the major influence of popular sports D．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【答案】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述运动可以让人保持健康也可以让人们接近大自然。然而不管你是在大山里，还是在草地上运动，都应该注意，人们对运动的选择可能会影响到地球的环境。在文章中作者鼓励人们要多进行环保的、不消耗自然资源的运动，比如竞走。 1．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句话“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. (绿色健身房的成员在户外、乡村或其他开放空间进行运动。开始成为会员没有特殊要求。最棒的是，它是免费的。)”可知，作者认为我们进行的户外活动应该是绿色环保的，并且是免费的。由此可推知，作者会赞成在湖边骑车。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses  in good condition. (你可能知道，高尔夫不仅消耗了大片农村地区，还消耗了大量的水。此外，各种各样的化学物质和巨大的能量被用来保持其路线处于良好状态。)”可知，高尔夫这项运动不仅侵占了大片的乡村区域，浪费了大量的水，而且需要电去维持它的运转。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. (有许多环保型运动。快走就是你如今可以从事的这类运动之一。)” 可知，这里的“them”指代前文提到的“environment-friendly sports (环保型运动)”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。文章主要讲述运动可以让人保持健康也可以让人们接近大自然。然而不管你是在大山里，还是在草地上运动，都应该注意，人们对运动的选择可能会影响到地球的环境。在文章中作者鼓励人们要多进行环保的、不消耗自然资源的运动，比如竞走。结合最后一段的“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. (绿色健身房的成员在户外、乡村或其他开放空间进行运动。开始成为会员没有特殊要求。最棒的是，它是免费的。)”推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁我们要积极参加绿色体育运动。故选B。 Passage 4 When Stephanie, my best friend, told me that she wanted to run a marathon (马拉松) and needed my help, I tried to talk her out of it. “You hate running. Marathon training is terrible and takes over your life. It’s running all the time,” I argued. I couldn’t change her mind. So I told her that she should at least do it right: choose a right race and I’d run with her. Finally, we chose the Honolulu Marathon. It took place in Hawaii, a beautiful place. It’s one of the 10 largest marathons in the world, with nearly 22,000 finishers each year. But more importantly, a full 35 percent of them are first-timers. And Honolulu’s course has no cut-off, staying open until the last runner finishes. The race seemed perfect for green runners like Stephanie. Although I have run plenty of my own races, I was surprised by the amount of pressure I felt in this one. Being in charge of your own race is one thing. Being the boss of someone else is another. It was my job to encourage her and make decisions for her while she came across difficulties and wanted to give up during the race. I felt a huge responsibility that her dream of running across the finish line was in my hands. The Honolulu Marathon day proved to be hot and sunny. The temperature hit 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun was strong; shade (树荫) was little and far between. After running for more than four hours, Stephanie was showing signs of heat exhaustion (中暑). I told her to walk until I was sure it was safe for her to keep running again. Soon, the finish line was in sight and as we crossed the line, we hugged, and tears flowed. I knew why Stephanie was crying. It’s amazing when you complete something you never thought possible. 1．What was the author’s attitude towards Stephanie’s running a marathon at first? A．Negative. B．Excited. C．Annoyed. D．Supportive. 2．Why did the author and Stephanie choose to run the Honolulu Marathon? A．They were familiar with the place. B．The race was suitable for beginners. C．They wanted to enjoy the beautiful views there. D．The race was popular among marathon runners. 3．What possibly made the author feel stressed? A．Her decision to turn down her friend. B．The strong competition from other runners. C．The bad performance of Stephanie in training. D．Her duty to support Stephanie in finishing her race. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4? A．The author’s skill in completing a marathon. B．The success of Stephanie’s first marathon race. C．The difficulty in running a marathon for Stephanie. D．The importance of taking a rest during a tough marathon. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【答案】本文是一篇记叙文。作者最好的朋友斯蒂芬妮想跑马拉松，作者一开始劝她放弃，但她坚持要跑，作者只能帮助她，最终她冲过了终点线，两个人都很激动。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When Stephanie, my best friend, told me that she wanted to run a marathon (马拉松) and needed my help, I tried to talk her out of it.(当我最好的朋友斯蒂芬妮告诉我她想跑马拉松并需要我的帮助时，我试图说服她放弃)”可知，作者试图说服斯蒂芬妮放弃跑马拉松的想法，说明作者对斯蒂芬妮的决定持消极态度。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But more importantly, a full 35 percent of them are first-timers. And Honolulu’s course has no cut-off, staying open until the last runner finishes. The race seemed perfect for green runners like Stephanie.(但更重要的是，他们中有整整35%的人是初次参与者。檀香山的赛道没有截止点，一直开放到最后一名选手完成比赛。这场比赛似乎非常适合像斯蒂芬妮这样的新手跑步者)”可知，檀香山马拉松比赛中有35%的人是初次参与者，而且会一直开放到最后一名选手跑完，非常适合新手。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Although I have run plenty of my own races, I was surprised by the amount of pressure I felt in this one. Being in charge of your own race is one thing. Being the boss of someone else is another. It was my job to encourage her and make decisions for her while she came across difficulties and wanted to give up during the race. I felt a huge responsibility that her dream of running across the finish line was in my hands.(虽然我参加过很多自己的比赛，但我对这次比赛中感受到的压力感到惊讶。掌控自己的比赛是一回事。做别人的老板是另一回事。当她在比赛中遇到困难并想放弃时，我的工作就是鼓励她并为她做出决定。我感到一种巨大的责任，她跑过终点线的梦想掌握在我手中)”可知，作者需要在朋友遇到困难并想放弃时鼓励她并为她做出决定，作者感到责任巨大，所以深感压力。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The Honolulu Marathon day proved to be hot and sunny. The temperature hit 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun was strong; shade (树荫) was little and far between. After running for more than four hours, Stephanie was showing signs of heat exhaustion (中暑). I told her to walk until I was sure it was safe for her to keep running again.(檀香山马拉松赛当天天气炎热，阳光明媚。气温达到华氏82度。太阳很强；阴凉处很少。在跑了四个多小时后，斯蒂芬妮出现了中暑的迹象。我告诉她要走路，直到我确定她可以继续跑步为止)”可知，本段主要讲述了斯蒂芬妮在跑步过程中遇到的困难。故选C。 Passage 5 Active Cities — A Glimpse into Global Fitness Berlin: Sports City in Europe In the middle of Europe, there is Berlin, a city famous for its love of sports.

(在柏林，人们喜欢骑自行车，在这座城市古老的街道上有专门为自行车设置的路径)”可知，柏林的人们喜欢骑自行车。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“There is a famous path called the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk where people like to run and walk.(有一条著名的路径叫做邦迪海滩到库吉海滩的海滨步道，人们喜欢在那里跑步和散步)”可知悉尼有一条著名的用于跑步的海滨步道；根据第四段中“From people running early in the morning in Central Park to yoga classes on rooftops at night, New York is full of activity.(从清晨中央公园里跑步的人们，到夜晚屋顶上的瑜伽课，纽约充满了各种活动)”可知纽约的中央公园里有很多人跑步。由此可知，悉尼和纽约的共同之处是两者都有很受欢迎的跑步路线。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段中“With more than 2,500 sports clubs, Berlin has many things for people who like to exercise (拥有超过2500个体育俱乐部，柏林为喜欢锻炼的人提供了许多)”可知柏林拥有超过2500个体育俱乐部，这句话直接提到了柏林为喜欢锻炼的人提供了很多设施和活动；根据第二段中“Water sports are very popular here, and many people enjoy surfing and kayaking(水上运动在这里非常受欢迎，许多人喜欢冲浪和划皮划艇)”可知水上运动在这里非常受欢迎，这句话描述了悉尼水上运动的流行，进一步强调了运动的主题；根据倒数第二段中“From people running early in the morning in Central Park to yoga classes on rooftops at night, New York is full of activity(从清晨在中央公园跑步的人们，到夜晚在屋顶上参加瑜伽课程，纽约充满了各种活动)”可知，纽约充满了各种活动，这句话描绘了纽约丰富的运动场景；根据最后一段中“These cities show us that no matter where you are in the world, there are always ways to keep your body moving and stay healthy(这些城市告诉我们，无论你身处世界何处，总有方法让你的身体保持活力并维持健康)”可知，无论你身在何处，总有地方让你的身体保持活力并维持健康，再次强调了运动和健康的主题。综上分析，本文对各个城市体育活动进行了描述并多次强调运动和健康，符合关注运动和健身的杂志的特点，可推理出本文可能来自一本关于运动的杂志。故选B项。 Passage 6 Social media and the Internet are changing the way we eat and cook. First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, caviar, and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients even sold out: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly vanished from grocery-store shelves. The reason for the shortages? Food enthusiasts were eager to recreate viral videos in which these ingredients starred. People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 1960s-70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home. Successful online food celebrities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers,” explains Madeline Buxton, culture and trends manager at YouTube. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously through people more adventurous than they are. Unlike cooking shows on TV, barriers to entry for online-cooking videos are low. Creators who think they have a winning idea do not need to persuade agents, editors and network executives; they can shoot a video themselves on their phone and see if people like it. Established media companies have got in on the act, but the Internet is mostly full of shorter content. Whereas adventurous TikTokers have tried their hand at complex recipes, approachable food tends to perform best: one reason recipes for baked-feta pasta and cucumber salad went viral is that it is easy to melt cheese and slice cucumbers. It also helps to be visually attractive: viral videos tend to show off the texture and crunch of food. Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was “poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed”. But it has attracted almost 14m views. Much as other food creators do, he shows viewers things they would not otherwise see, and he has a good time doing it. This points to an important aspect of online food culture: fun. Julia Child certainly mastered the art of French cooking, and people who followed her recipes may have enjoyed themselves, but she most believed in the haute (高端的) part of haute cuisine. Reverence (崇敬) does poorly in the democratized world of online content, where training, background and even experience matter less than likeability, production value and whether a video makes you want to pick up a pan and start cooking. Now can you please pass the feta? 1．The author cites Julia Child as an example to suggest that ________. A．the current trend of online cooking videos is not an entirely new phenomenon B．the shortages of certain ingredients were a direct result of popular TV shows C．cooking shows on TV have higher barriers for content creators D．television was as important as social media in the spread of culinary culture 2．Which of the following statements might the author most probably agree with? A．A detailed instruction on how to make high-end French cuisine is likely to go viral. B．Ingredients like cucumbers sold out because of the popularization of French food. C．Even respected chefs cannot guarantee that their videos will take off. D．The shorter a food video is, the more likely it is to gain in popularity. 3．What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage? A．The author highlights how modern cooking has been changed by the Internet. B．The author is drawn to the new culture of cooking on social media. C．The author is convinced that feta, as shown in the videos, can enhance the taste of food. D．The author's own culinary experiences haven't been influenced by online cooking videos. 4．Which of the following serves as the best title for the passage? A．From TV to TikTok: The Rise of Influencers B．A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online C．A Recipe for Success: How to Create Viral Cooking Videos D．Pass Me the Feta: Growing Appetite for Food Ingredients 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【答案】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述社交媒体和互联网改变饮食烹饪方式，网络烹饪视频兴起，分析其特点、与传统差异及对烹饪文化的影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online - cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 160s - 70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home.(那些在厨房或通过书本学习烹饪的人可能会嘲笑在线烹饪视频的传播。但厨师们长期以来一直接受利用技术来指导、分享他们的烹饪理念并成就他们的事业。在 20 世纪 60-70 年代，朱莉娅・查尔德利用电视并帮助推广烹饪书籍，为在家烹饪的人揭开法国美食的神秘面纱。)”可知，作者以朱莉娅・查尔德为例，是为了表明厨师们很早就利用技术来传播烹饪理念，现在在线烹饪视频的流行并非全新现象，故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was ‘poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed’. But it has attracted almost 14m views.(有时创作者会对自己哪些视频会走红感到惊讶。迪乔瓦尼先生回忆起他第一个受欢迎的视频，视频中他用整个可可豆荚制作巧克力棒；这个视频‘拍摄得很差：灯光混乱；曝光过度’。但它已经吸引了近 1400 万浏览量。)” 可知，即使是创作者自己都难以预料哪个视频会走红，所以即使是受尊敬的厨师也不能保证他们的视频一定会成功。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。由文章最后一句“Now can you please pass the feta?(现在你能递给我羊乳酪吗？)”并结合前文提到因网络烹饪视频导致某些食材短缺，以及对网络烹饪文化的介绍，可推断作者被社交媒体上的新烹饪文化所吸引，仿佛也沉浸在这种文化氛围中，想要像视频中那样烹饪使用羊乳酪。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Social media and the Internet are changing the way we eat and cook. (社交媒体和互联网正在改变我们的饮食和烹饪方式)”可知，文章主要讲述了社交媒体和互联网改变了人们烹饪和饮食的方式，介绍了网络烹饪视频的兴起、特点以及其对烹饪文化的影响，所以B选项A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online(品味潮流：在线重塑的烹饪之旅) 准确概括了文章主旨。故选B项。 Passage 7 When you see someone take the first sip of freshly-made milk tea, their face looks like pure joy. Today, millions of people enjoy this experience. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor (细品) these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned: Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure, people are enjoying it today, but would they still be in a year, or five years? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These are the questions that Serenitea, a milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. Like Airbnb, Serenite a partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila (CBM) which specializes in finding out deep consumer insights. The agency adopted a series of intensive,psychological-based techniques in their market research. Specifically, they explore the consumers’ deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic. Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses. First, people were connected to milk through the concept of nurture (营养); They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties. They would recall receiving tea when they had a stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered three psychological cornerstones (基石) of the milk tea experience: nurture, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was important. By taking these factors into consideration, milk tea brands could make a plan of an entirely new path. 1．What was Serenitea’s concern in the early 2000s? A．Whether milk tea would become too expensive. B．Whether milk tea would lose its flavor over time. C．Whether milk tea would attract too many competitors. D．Whether milk tea would remain popular in the long term. 2．What does CBM find about milk tea? A．Milk tea is welcomed by parents. B．Milk tea is associated with teenage fun. C．Milk tea does harm to our mental health. D．Milk tea has no healing effect on consumers. 3．What could brands do to make a new path? A．Pay more attention to the package. B．Locate more stores in the big cities. C．Offer as many new flavors as possible. D．Focus on milk tea’s psychological value. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Revealing Milk Tea Psychology B．How to Make Milk Tea Popular C．Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea D．A New Method to Business Success 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【答案】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了奶茶的流行现象及其背后的心理学研究。早期奶茶品牌如Serenitea面临长期受欢迎程度的担忧，因此与CBM机构合作深入研究奶茶的消费者心理学。研究发现，奶茶能引发人们关于滋养、治愈和青少年乐趣的三种心理反应，这些发现为奶茶品牌开拓新路径提供了重要见解。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned: Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure, people are enjoying it today, but would they still be in a year, or five years?(在该行业中成功站稳脚跟的少数几个品牌非常关心：奶茶是否只是另一种时尚食品？当然，人们今天很喜欢它，但一年后或五年后他们还会喜欢吗？)”可知，Serenitea在2000年代初担心的是奶茶是否能在长期内保持受欢迎。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth.(最后，他们将奶茶本身与青少年的乐趣联系起来：他们年轻时的一种有罪的快乐。)可知，CBM发现奶茶与青少年的乐趣有关。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“They had uncovered three psychological cornerstones (基石) of the milk tea experience: nurture, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was important. By taking these factors into consideration, milk tea brands could make a plan of an entirely new path.(他们发现了奶茶体验的三个心理基石：滋养、治愈和青少年的乐趣。这组见解很重要。通过考虑这些因素，奶茶品牌可以制定出一个全新的道路计划)”可知，品牌要想开拓一条新路，就需要关注奶茶的心理价值。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“These are the questions that Serenitea, a milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea.(这些是奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年面临的问题。在成功开设60家门店后，他们发现自己陷入了战略迷雾，这促使他们深入研究奶茶深奥且未被探索的心理)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Serenitea公司与CBM合作，通过研究发现奶茶体验的三个心理基石：滋养、治愈和青少年的乐趣。由此可知，文章主要介绍了揭示奶茶心理学的研究。故A选项“Revealing Milk Tea Psychology(揭示奶茶心理学)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 6 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
