课时作业(六) 必修第二册 Unit 2 Be sporty, be healthy
一、阅读理解
(2025·河南豫西北教研联盟一模)Training was cruel,as Penny Lee Dean prepared for what would be a recordsetting swim—regardless of sex—across the English Channel in 1978.“Your hands cramp(痉挛),your legs cramp,” she remembers.
While the cold was bonechilling,overcoming it has been essential to her success as a recordbreaking swimmer.An ability to tolerate extreme cold is one of the advantages that women may have in this sport,as their distribution of fat is helpful for regulating body temperature in cold water.
Dean believes that any upper hand women might have in openwater swimming over long distances is more about mental adaptation and the ability to bear discomfort than about insulation(阻隔).In ultradistance events,the ability to handle more factors,from weather to pain,becomes particularly important.
In fact,women can outperform or perform similarly to men in a range of competitive events.From ultra running to shooting sports,in some competitions women have the edge.Cassio Rippel,the ISSF Athletes Committee Chair,says that while men's muscles tend to give them more staying power,women's lower body mass and lower centre of gravity,on average,allow them better balance control.The rifle events are the most sexbalanced of the three types of shooting events in the Olympics,according to Rippel.
The nearly centurylong history of the Olympics is also a history of the growth of female empowerment.An increasing number of female athletes have broken gender barriers,achieving remarkable success in traditionally maledominated sports.The Paris Olympics are the first Olympics to have equal numbers of female and male athletes.This is also an opportunity to think carefully about what gaps in inclusion still remain.
While much of the science of sex and performance may be unsettled,one thing that's very clear is that more research needs to involve women.The path toward greater inclusion has not been straight,and more questions than answers remain about the role of sex in athletic performance.
1.What challenge did Dean face when breaking the record?
A.The long distance.
B.The low temperature.
C.The extra body fat.
D.The intense training.
2.What advantage may women have in long and openwater swimming?
A.Strong awareness about keeping warm.
B.Superior flexibility to tough situations.
C.Inborn talent for long distance swimming.
D.Absolute concentration on swimming path.
3.What does the underlined phrase “have the edge” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Appear weaker. B.Seem conservative.
C.Take the lead. D.Show less pressure.
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Women's potential in sports.
B.Sports suitable for women.
C.Views on gender and sports.
D.Females in the Olympics.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了女性在体育领域的潜力和表现,通过具体事例和科学分析,阐述了女性运动员在某些竞技项目中的优势,以及女性在奥运会上的平等地位。
1.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“While the cold was bonechilling,overcoming it has been essential to her success as a recordbreaking swimmer.”可知,Dean在打破纪录时面临的挑战是低温。故选B。
2.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,女性在长距离公开水域游泳中可能具有的优势更多在于心理适应和承受不适的能力,这表明女性在应对艰难情况方面具有更强的灵活性。故选B。
3.C [解析]词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“From ultra running to shooting sports,in some competitions women have the edge ...while men's muscles tend to give them more staying power,women's lower body mass and lower centre of gravity,on average,allow them better balance control.”可知,虽然男性的肌肉往往给他们更多的耐力,但女性的体重重心较低,平均而言,这使她们能够更好地控制平衡。由此可推知,从超跑到射击比赛中,女性往往能够表现优异或“领先”。因此,画线短语have the edge意为“领先”。故选C。
4.A [解析]主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章通过具体事例阐述了女性运动员在体育领域的潜力和表现。故选A。
二、七选五阅读
The Side Effects of Overexercising
If you are putting in too many hours at the gym or training too hard for sports,your body may begin to respond negatively.Overexercising is common among athletes and fitness enthusiasts with a variety of side effects,both physical and mental.
One person's definition of excessive(过量的) exercise might differ from another's.1. The main sign of it is declining physical performance in your sports,despite ongoing or increased amounts of training.
If you are overexercising,you might notice the negative physical effects first.You might experience unexplained weight loss and decreased appetite.Overexercising can also cause ongoing muscle and joint pain unrelated to a specific injury,difficulty sleeping or not feeling rested when you wake up.2.
If you are not feeling your usual excitement for sports,or if you do not feel mentally prepared for exercise or competition,you could be experiencing the mental effects of overexercising.3. For example,increased anger,or a lack of enthusiasm you once felt toward your sports.This condition can also cause other poor performances in your life.
4. The first and most vital step for treatment is simply recognizing that you have the condition.Then follow a training schedule that varies your training load and includes adequate rest.5. Whether the rest period last for weeks or several months depends on the individual.
A.You might even get sick more often.
B.Never should it be looked down upon.
C.You might notice frequent mood swings.
D.However,it affects whoever overexercises.
E.Doctors might mistake it for a major illness.
F.Actually,the most effective treatment is to rest.
G.Therefore,address the problem once you realize it.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了过度运动的副作用。
1.D [解析]根据上文“One person's definition of excessive exercise might differ from another's.(一个人对过度运动的定义可能与另一个人不同。)”以及下文“The main sign of it is declining physical performance in your sports,despite ongoing or increased amounts of training.(它的主要标志是你在运动中的身体表现下降,尽管持续或增加了训练量。)”可知,此处需要一个涉及过量运动副作用的过渡句,承接上文每个人对过量运动的定义不同,但过量运动对人有害,再接着论述过量运动的主要表现。D选项“然而,它会影响任何过度运动的人”符合题意。故选D。
2.A [解析]根据段首总起句“If you are overexercising,you might notice the negative physical effects first.(如果你过度锻炼,你可能会首先注意到身体上的负面影响。)”可知,此段主要论述过量运动在身体方面的副作用。结合空前句子“You might experience unexplained weight loss and decreased appetite.Overexercising can also cause ongoing muscle and joint pain unrelated to a specific injury,difficulty sleeping or not feeling rested when you wake up.(你可能会经历无法解释的体重减轻和食欲下降。过度运动还会导致与特定损伤无关的持续肌肉和关节疼痛、睡眠困难或醒来时感觉没有休息好。)”可知,此处作者按严重程度递进的方式描述了过量运动在身体方面的副作用,故此空应为过量运动在身体方面带来的最严重后果。A选项“你甚至可能更经常生病”紧密连接上文,继续阐述副作用。故选A。
3.C [解析]根据上文“If you are not feeling your usual excitement for sports,or if you do not feel mentally prepared for exercise or competition,you could be experiencing the mental effects of overexercising.(如果你没有像往常一样对运动感到兴奋,或者你没有为运动或比赛做好心理准备,你可能正在经历过度运动的心理影响。)”可知,此段主要论述过量运动在心理方面的副作用,结合下一句“For example,increased anger,or a lack of enthusiasm you once felt toward your sports.(例如,愤怒加剧,或者你曾经对你的运动缺乏热情。)”可知,后文为此句的举例,故此处应总结说明过量运动在心理方面的副作用表现为频繁的情绪波动,C选项“你可能会注意到频繁的情绪波动”符合题意。故选C。
4.G [解析]结合上文和本段内容可知,作者已经论述了过量运动在身体和心理方面的副作用,然后开始论述如何解决问题,故此空应为段落总起句,且和上文构成因果关系,提醒读者去解决问题。G选项“因此,一旦你意识到问题,就要解决它”符合语意。故选G。
5.F [解析]根据上文“Then follow a training schedule that varies your training load and includes adequate rest.(然后遵循一个训练计划,对训练负荷加以调整,并纳入充分的休息。)”和下文“Whether the rest period last for weeks or several months depends on the individual.(休息时间是持续几周还是几个月取决于个人。)”可知,此处为一个过渡句,强调解决问题的核心在于休息。F选项“事实上,最有效的治疗方法是休息”承上启下,符合题意。故选F。

四、读后续写
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。
(2025·八省高考综合改革适应性演练)I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel.A nearby theater was showing a documentary(纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country.I love animals,and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event.However,none of my coworkers would go with me,and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room,but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored.The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel,and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous.So,I decided to brave it.I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted.I managed to find the street the theater was on,but when I turned the corner,I stopped in shock.In front of the theater were a group of bikers—very big,toughlooking bikers.
I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people.However,in this case,I was a woman all alone,in a strange neighborhood,at night,and there were twenty or so very large men—all wearing insignia(徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club—standing before me.Warning bells began to sound in my head,and my heart was pounding.Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening.Nevertheless,I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers.I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater.Hopefully,the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I hurried into the theater,only to find there were even more bikers inside.
Paragraph 2:
When the film began,I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
I hurried into the theater,only to find there were even more bikers inside. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place.My heart sank even further.I quickly found an empty seat in the back row,trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible.I clutched my bag tightly,constantly glancing around,praying that nothing bad would happen.Every now and then,I peeked at the bikers,wondering what they were doing here.Were they going to cause trouble? The tension in the air was palpable,and I regretted my decision to come alone.
Paragraph 2:
When the film began,I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They had come to support the fundraiser for the local animal shelters.As the documentary unfolded,showing the plight of the abandoned dogs,I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears.They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories.During the intermission,some of them even came over to me,smiling kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film.Their tough exteriors hid big,soft hearts.I felt ashamed of my initial fear and was truly grateful that I had decided to come.We spent the rest of the evening sharing our love for animals and discussing ways to help.
