London to Host Major Women’s Sports Events in 2025
London is set to become the “undisputed global capital for women’s sport in 2025” with a series of major events scheduled throughout the year . The capital will host competitions in rugby, tennis, cricket, football, and athletics, aiming to break attendance records and inspire a new generation of female athletes.
The highlight of the year will be the Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham Stadium on September 27. Over 220,000 tickets have already been sold, making it the best-attended women’s rugby event in history . The match is expected to surpass the previous record of 58,498 spectators set during England’s victory over France in 2023. Sarah Massey, the tournament’s managing director, emphasized that the event will “capture hearts and headlines globally,” showcasing the growing popularity of women’s sports.
Tennis fans will witness the return of women’s matches to the Queen’s Club after a 50-year absence. The WTA 500 tournament in June will precede the Wimbledon Championships, attracting top players like Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen. Cricket enthusiasts can look forward to England facing India in T20 and One-Day International matches at iconic venues like the Oval and Lord's.
Football will also take center stage, with the England Lionesses—current European champions—clashing against Spain, the reigning World Cup holders, at Wembley Stadium in February. The Adobe Women’s FA Cup final will follow in May, highlighting the progress of women’s football in the UK.
Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed excitement about London’s role in promoting gender equality through sports. “These events will not only entertain but also inspire young girls to take up sports,” he said. With an estimated six million people expected to attend sporting events in London next year, the city aims to solidify its position as a leader in women's sports globally.

(2023·天津·高考真题B篇)One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures. Large chunks of ice floated in the lake. Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down in the water. They held hands, shouting and yelling into the sky. They looked and sounded so free.
I’ve always found cold water thrilling. The shock of it is like pressing a switch. It seems to reset my body and soul.
And last winter, I definitely needed a reset. I woke up most mornings with a dull, grey feeling as I forced myself out of bed to start the day. I needed something to cheer myself up, but I didn’t know what, until that day.
The ice warriors (勇士) emerged from the lake, their skin steaming. Trembling, they were yet laughing and hugging each other. I called out: “You guys are awesome!” One woman waved back, “Come and join us! We’ re here every Monday morning.”
The night before my first dip (游泳), I was excited and nervous. Cold water was one thing, but this icy lake was a whole other level. Should I back out? Eventually, I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting spot.
After some wild warm up, I charged into the lake along with others. We yelled into the sky. Teeth chattering heart rates slowing, fingers and toes going numb (麻木), we stayed there for somewhere between two and five minutes. Knowing it was my first time, people cheered me on. It felt amazing. I was stupid with cold, but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy.
Now I go dipping almost every day, and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a second skin and my internal voice goes silent. Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives, which, ironically, saved me from going under, what has drawn me is this community of generous, open-hearted souls.
We laughed together, often, but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s challenges. Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one.
It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again.
41.When the author saw the people in the lake, her feeling can be best described as __________
A.nervous B.amazed
C.frightened D.calm
42.Why did the author think of joining the swimmers?
A.To expand her social circle. B.To lift her spirits again.
C.To adapt to the cold weather. D.To prepare for a new career
43.What can be learnt about the author’s first dipping?
A.She hesitated a bit before going.
B.She suffered from a heart problem.
C.She stayed in cold water too long.
D.She regretted not doing enough warm up.
44.What change has cold water swimming brought about in the author?
A.She is more intelligent.
B.She gets more competitive.
C.She becomes a better storyteller.
D.She regains her inner peace.
45.What message does the author most likely want to convey?
A.Severe cold builds up character
B.Group wisdom brightens our life.
C.Tackling the odds together cures.
D.Doing sports promotes friendship.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·辽宁葫芦岛·期末)In recent years, home fitness has surged in popularity. With the convenience of online platforms and the development of fitness equipment suitable for small spaces, more and more people are choosing to work out at home.
Emma Thompson, a working mother, used to struggle to find time to go to the gym. “I was always too busy with work and family chores,” she says. But since she started following online fitness classes at home, everything has changed. “I can exercise during my break time or after putting my kids to bed. It’s so flexible,” Thompson notes. She now has a regular exercise routine, combining strength training and aerobic exercises, and has noticed significant improvements in her energy levels and physical strength.
Fitness experts point out that home fitness offers several advantages. Firstly, it saves the time and cost spent on commuting to the gym. Secondly, people can choose from a vast variety of online courses, tailored to different fitness levels and goals. For example, beginners can start with gentle stretching and basic strength-building exercises, while more advanced fitness enthusiasts can challenge themselves with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs.
Moreover, the development of smart fitness equipment has further enhanced the home fitness experience. Smart treadmills (跑步机) can adjust speed and adapt themselves according to users’ fitness data, and interactive exercise bikes allow users to join virtual cycling races with people from all over the world. These technologies make home workouts more engaging and effective.
However, home fitness also has its challenges. One of the biggest issues is the lack of professional guidance. Without a personal trainer present, it’s easy for people to use incorrect postures, which may lead to injuries. Additionally, staying motivated at home can be difficult.Without the competitive atmosphere of a gym, some people may find it hard to stick to their exercise plans. To overcome these challenges, experts suggest that people should do thorough research before starting a new fitness program, and choose courses or equipment that suit their needs.
1.Why did Emma Thompson start home fitness?
A.She preferred online fitness classes.
B.She couldn’t afford the gym membership.
C.She was too occupied to go to the gym.
D.She wanted to try smart fitness equipment.
2.According to the text, who would most likely choose HIIT programs?
A.Beginners seeking gentle exercises.
B.Advanced fitness enthusiasts.
C.Parents with limited evening time.
D.People recovering from injuries.
3.According to the last paragraph, what is one of the challenges of home fitness?
A.Risk of getting injured due to incorrect postures.
B.Difficulty in finding suitable online courses.
C.Lack of a quiet exercise environment at home.
D.High cost of smart fitness equipment.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·江苏无锡·阶段练习)When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?
The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was,before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful.
1.What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?
A.It is an upsetting target to achieve. B.It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C.It is a rising tendency of mental health D.It is effective in reducing pressure on work.
2.What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?
A.It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B.The more steps, the lower risk of death.
C.A bit more than the target can improve health. D.About half that target appears to be beneficial.
3.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A.Absence of previous research. B.Recent findings of fat buildup.
C.Problems of less daily walking. D.Possible causes of physical challenges.
4.Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage?
A.Working at home. B.Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C.Driving lo work. D.Signing up for online exercise programs.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了每天走10000步这一目标的来源、相关研究及增加日常步数的建议。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?(说起保持健康体魄,我们常被提醒要争取每天走一万步。这令许多人感到厌烦,尤其是当我们忙于工作和其他事务时——然而,这个数字究竟从何而来呢?)”可知,作者认为每天走10000步是一个令人烦恼的目标。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women.(虽然一些研究表明,每天走10000步对健康有益,但哈佛医学院最近的研究表明,平均每天走大约4400步就足以显著降低女性的死亡风险。)”可知,哈佛医学院的研究表明,大约是10000步目标的一半(4400步)似乎对降低女性死亡风险有益。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.(得克萨斯大学最近的研究也表明,如果你每天走路少于5000步,第二天你的身体分解脂肪的能力就会下降。体内脂肪堆积还会增加一个人患心血管疾病和糖尿病的可能性。)”可知,本段主要讲述了每天走路少(少于5000步)可能带来的问题,如身体代谢脂肪能力下降、增加患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险等。故选C。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home.(如果你想增加每天的步数,或者只是想多运动,一个简单的方法包括如果可能的话步行上班,或者如果你在家工作的话,参加一个在线锻炼项目。)”可知,参加在线锻炼项目是增加日常步数的一个建议方法。故选D。
Passage 3
(2025·吉林·模拟预测)Maybe you’ve set a New Year’s resolution to get fitter and healthier this year. If so, you’re in good company: statistics show that improving fitness is the number one resolution. Unfortunately, the majority of people find sticking to that resolution difficult. A year on, only about 9% report they’ve stayed with a new exercise plan for the entire 12 months.
Making exercise a consistent, regular habit is hard, especially when you’re balancing a career, family duties, and other demands on your time. A good starting point — or simply a good way to add on to an existing exercise habit — is to integrate movement “snacks” into your routine. These short bursts of activity spread throughout your day can make a difference in how you feel, as well as your overall health.
Research backs this up. A team at McMasters University tested the theory. The study looked into whether simple 20-second bursts of stair climbing, three times each day, performed three days a week, could improve cardiorespiratory (心肺的) fitness. After six weeks, it had, by about 5%. “The changes are modest, but not insignificant,” says coauthor Martin Gibala. While repeated exercise snacks shouldn’t replace a more regular workout routine that includes both cardiovascular (心血管的) and strength training, it can improve your health. It can also serve as an easy entry point to getting fitter in the new year.
One effective way to add movement snacks is by stacking them onto existing habits, like fitting in some movement while waiting for the coffee to prepare. Easy entry points include activities like push-ups, jogging in place, or a quick walk. Engaging large muscle groups to raise your heart rate is key.
All that said, your goal should still be longer, intentional exercise sessions. But as an add-on — or if time for an exercise snack is all you’ve got — you can improve your health. Consider snacks a supplement. It’s a little bite throughout your day that feeds your body.
1.Why does the author mention a New Year’s resolution?
A.To highlight the ease of maintaining it. B.To stress the importance of setting goals.
C.To illustrate the challenge of completing it. D.To emphasize the tradition of making promises.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The benefits of a balanced diet. B.The importance of strength training.
C.The effectiveness of exercise snacks. D.The impact of long workout sessions.
3.What does the underlined word “stacking” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Removing. B.Changing. C.Deleting. D.Building.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Short Routines for Better Performance B.Boost Your Health with Micro-Workouts
C.Maximize Results with Intense Workouts D.New Year’s Resolution for Better Health
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.D 4.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了如何通过短暂的“运动零食”改善健康。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Maybe you’ve set a New Year’s resolution to get fitter and healthier this year. If so, you’re in good company: statistics show that improving fitness is the number one resolution. Unfortunately, the majority of people find sticking to that resolution difficult. A year on, only about 9% report they’ve stayed with a new exercise plan for the entire 12 months. (也许你已经制定了一个新年计划,今年要变得更苗条的、更健康。如果是这样,那么你是在一个好公司:统计数据显示,改善健康是头号决心。不幸的是,大多数人发现坚持这个决心很困难。一年过去了,只有9%的人表示他们在一整年里都坚持了一项新的锻炼计划。)”可知虽然许多人设定了健身目标,但很难持续执行,只有少数人能够坚持下去。通过引用统计数据,作者说明了维持健身决心的困难,故推断提到新年健身决心是为了展示这一目标的挑战性。故选C项。
2.主旨大意题。 第三段讲述了麦克马斯特大学的一个团队测试了每天三次、每次20秒爬楼梯(一周进行三天)是否能改善心肺健康,六周后心肺健康提高了约5%, 并且根据研究人员所说“The changes are modest, but not insignificant (变化不大,但并非微不足道)”可知,本段主要是在说明运动“零食”(短时间的运动)的有效性,“运动零食的有效性”最符合段落主题。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段“One effective way to add movement snacks is by stacking them onto existing habits, like fitting in some movement while waiting for the coffee to prepare. (添加运动“零食”的一个有效方法是将它们……到现有的习惯中,比如在等咖啡煮好的时候进行一些运动。)”这里是说把运动“零食”融入现有的习惯,“build...onto...”有“在……之上建立;把……添加到……”的意思。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了将短时间的运动(运动“零食”)融入日常生活对健康有益,虽然不能替代常规的锻炼,但可以作为改善健康的一个切入点。B选项“通过微锻炼提升你的健康”准确反映了文章的主题,适合作标题。故选B项。
Passage 4
(22-23高一下·福建厦门·开学考试)Have you ever monitored something about yourself? Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve eaten in a day.
If so, you’ve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this popular movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound difficult, but technology is making the process easier.
Perhaps you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle.
Recently, tools such as smart phones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.
So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.
Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In past years, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, came up with the term “Quantified Self.”
Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its drawbacks. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addition people like to do often.
While self-tracking doesn’t guarantee (保证) that one’s quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. After all, the Quantified Self Movement’s focus is motivating people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices.
1.People choose self-tracking because ________.
A.it watches your eating habits
B.it increases your movement
C.it records how many hours you sleep a day
D.it collects personal data and leads to self-improvements
2.The writer mentions tools such as smart phones and apps in Paragraph 4 to show _______.
A.we depend too much on them
B.they do harm to people’s health
C.it is easier to do self-tracking
D.equipment is necessary to do self-tracking
3.Self-tracking was firstly put forward by _______.
A.two magazine editors
B.athletes and their coaches
C.doctors and their patients
D.scientists of Data Speaks Health Solutions
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.A popular movement to monitor individuals.
B.A popular movement to guarantee you a quality life.
C.Self-tracking to help form a healthier lifestyle.
D.Self-tracking to highlight the importance of your diet.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.C

Passage 5
(24-25高一下·山东威海·期末)Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise practice that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing. This brings more oxygen to the body and brain, making one feel more energetic and healthy. The idea of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake (假的) and real laughter. 1
Although laughter is widely known to be the best medicine and good for health, in this stressful modern life, there aren’t many reasons that make us laugh. According to scientists, to gain health benefits, one must laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and the laughter should be hearty (尽情的) and loud. 2 Through Laughter Yoga, one can laugh for a longer period of time and heartily, because it is performed as a physical exercise rather than relying on a mental process.
A typical Laughter Yoga class is led by a laughter leader who guides the group through different laughter, breathing, and stretching exercises. It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏). 3 Childlike playfulness and shared eye contact are also encouraged to bring out real, natural laughter.
Laughter Yoga provides many health benefits. It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine. 4 Laughter Yoga is a single exercise dealing with physical, mental, and emotional stress at the same time. In addition, it helps your body fight illness, lowers blood pressure, and keeps your heart healthy.
5 Practicing laughter in a group builds trust and connection, even among strangers. It gives people a sense of belonging and helps them form lasting friendships, which in turn improves emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
A.After all, it’s good for you.
B.One gets the same health benefits either way.
C.Laughter Yoga also strengthens social connections.
D.The idea that laughter has beneficial effects is not new.
E.It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.
F.Then come laughter exercises that help people laugh loudly and heartily.
G.However, natural laughter needs a reason to start and lasts only a few seconds.
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.F 4.E 5.C

3.上文“It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏).(它从热身运动开始,比如拍手和有节奏地重复“嗬嗬哈哈”。)”提到了瑜伽课程的流程,即从热身运动开始,F选项中Then是关键词,与上文构成顺承关系,所以F选项“接下来是笑声练习,帮助人们放声大笑,尽情欢笑。”与上文形成自然衔接。故选F项。
4.上文“It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine.(这是一项强效的有氧运动;仅仅10分钟的开怀大笑就相当于在健身器械上锻炼30分钟。)”提到了“笑瑜伽”的健康益处,E选项“It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.(它还能减轻压力对身体造成的负面影响。)”也是“笑瑜伽”的益处,承接前文。故选E项。

Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly 8 , feeling that she had let me down. I couldn’t believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.

Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and 13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and 14 .

14.考查形容(副)词词义辨析。句意:我认为我们是在为第八名而战,我拒绝最后一名,所以我在最后200码时加大了踢腿力度。A. first第一;B. last最后;C. most最多;D.over结束。根据上文“I assumed we were battling for the eighth place and I refused to finish dead last”可知,比赛到了最后阶段;“last 200 yards”指“最后200码”的比赛阶段。故选B项。
15.考查动词词义辨析。句意:我触壁后左右张望,寻找那些打败我的游泳者,但没有人在那里。A. swam游泳;B. came来;C. jumped跳;D. looked看。根据后文“for the swimmers”及后文的“but no one was there”可知,作者是在寻找其他选手;look for意为“寻找”符合语境。故选D项。

(2023·天津·高考真题B篇)One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures. Large chunks of ice floated in the lake. Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down in the water. They held hands, shouting and yelling into the sky. They looked and sounded so free.
I’ve always found cold water thrilling. The shock of it is like pressing a switch. It seems to reset my body and soul.
And last winter, I definitely needed a reset. I woke up most mornings with a dull, grey feeling as I forced myself out of bed to start the day. I needed something to cheer myself up, but I didn’t know what, until that day.
The ice warriors (勇士) emerged from the lake, their skin steaming. Trembling, they were yet laughing and hugging each other. I called out: “You guys are awesome!” One woman waved back, “Come and join us! We’ re here every Monday morning.”
The night before my first dip (游泳), I was excited and nervous. Cold water was one thing, but this icy lake was a whole other level. Should I back out? Eventually, I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting spot.
After some wild warm up, I charged into the lake along with others. We yelled into the sky. Teeth chattering heart rates slowing, fingers and toes going numb (麻木), we stayed there for somewhere between two and five minutes. Knowing it was my first time, people cheered me on. It felt amazing. I was stupid with cold, but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy.
Now I go dipping almost every day, and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a second skin and my internal voice goes silent. Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives, which, ironically, saved me from going under, what has drawn me is this community of generous, open-hearted souls.
We laughed together, often, but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s challenges. Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one.
It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again.
41.When the author saw the people in the lake, her feeling can be best described as __________
A.nervous B.amazed
C.frightened D.calm
42.Why did the author think of joining the swimmers?
A.To expand her social circle. B.To lift her spirits again.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·辽宁葫芦岛·期末)In recent years, home fitness has surged in popularity. With the convenience of online platforms and the development of fitness equipment suitable for small spaces, more and more people are choosing to work out at home.
Emma Thompson, a working mother, used to struggle to find time to go to the gym. “I was always too busy with work and family chores,” she says. But since she started following online fitness classes at home, everything has changed. “I can exercise during my break time or after putting my kids to bed. It’s so flexible,” Thompson notes. She now has a regular exercise routine, combining strength training and aerobic exercises, and has noticed significant improvements in her energy levels and physical strength.
Fitness experts point out that home fitness offers several advantages. Firstly, it saves the time and cost spent on commuting to the gym. Secondly, people can choose from a vast variety of online courses, tailored to different fitness levels and goals. For example, beginners can start with gentle stretching and basic strength-building exercises, while more advanced fitness enthusiasts can challenge themselves with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs.
Moreover, the development of smart fitness equipment has further enhanced the home fitness experience. Smart treadmills (跑步机) can adjust speed and adapt themselves according to users’ fitness data, and interactive exercise bikes allow users to join virtual cycling races with people from all over the world. These technologies make home workouts more engaging and effective.
However, home fitness also has its challenges. One of the biggest issues is the lack of professional guidance. Without a personal trainer present, it’s easy for people to use incorrect postures, which may lead to injuries. Additionally, staying motivated at home can be difficult.Without the competitive atmosphere of a gym, some people may find it hard to stick to their exercise plans. To overcome these challenges, experts suggest that people should do thorough research before starting a new fitness program, and choose courses or equipment that suit their needs.
1.Why did Emma Thompson start home fitness?
A.She preferred online fitness classes.
B.She couldn’t afford the gym membership.
C.She was too occupied to go to the gym.
D.She wanted to try smart fitness equipment.
2.According to the text, who would most likely choose HIIT programs?
A.Beginners seeking gentle exercises.
B.Advanced fitness enthusiasts.
C.Parents with limited evening time.
D.People recovering from injuries.
3.According to the last paragraph, what is one of the challenges of home fitness?
A.Risk of getting injured due to incorrect postures.
B.Difficulty in finding suitable online courses.
C.Lack of a quiet exercise environment at home.
D.High cost of smart fitness equipment.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary.
B.A health and lifestyle magazine.
C.A historical document.
D.A science fiction novel.
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·江苏无锡·阶段练习)When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?
The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was,before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful.
1.What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?
A.It is an upsetting target to achieve. B.It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C.It is a rising tendency of mental health D.It is effective in reducing pressure on work.
2.What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?
A.It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B.The more steps, the lower risk of death.
C.A bit more than the target can improve health. D.About half that target appears to be beneficial.
3.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A.Absence of previous research. B.Recent findings of fat buildup.
C.Problems of less daily walking. D.Possible causes of physical challenges.
4.Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage?
A.Working at home. B.Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C.Driving lo work. D.Signing up for online exercise programs.
Passage 3
(2025·吉林·模拟预测)Maybe you’ve set a New Year’s resolution to get fitter and healthier this year. If so, you’re in good company: statistics show that improving fitness is the number one resolution. Unfortunately, the majority of people find sticking to that resolution difficult. A year on, only about 9% report they’ve stayed with a new exercise plan for the entire 12 months.
Making exercise a consistent, regular habit is hard, especially when you’re balancing a career, family duties, and other demands on your time. A good starting point — or simply a good way to add on to an existing exercise habit — is to integrate movement “snacks” into your routine. These short bursts of activity spread throughout your day can make a difference in how you feel, as well as your overall health.
Research backs this up. A team at McMasters University tested the theory. The study looked into whether simple 20-second bursts of stair climbing, three times each day, performed three days a week, could improve cardiorespiratory (心肺的) fitness. After six weeks, it had, by about 5%. “The changes are modest, but not insignificant,” says coauthor Martin Gibala. While repeated exercise snacks shouldn’t replace a more regular workout routine that includes both cardiovascular (心血管的) and strength training, it can improve your health. It can also serve as an easy entry point to getting fitter in the new year.
One effective way to add movement snacks is by stacking them onto existing habits, like fitting in some movement while waiting for the coffee to prepare. Easy entry points include activities like push-ups, jogging in place, or a quick walk. Engaging large muscle groups to raise your heart rate is key.
All that said, your goal should still be longer, intentional exercise sessions. But as an add-on — or if time for an exercise snack is all you’ve got — you can improve your health. Consider snacks a supplement. It’s a little bite throughout your day that feeds your body.
1.Why does the author mention a New Year’s resolution?
A.To highlight the ease of maintaining it. B.To stress the importance of setting goals.
C.To illustrate the challenge of completing it. D.To emphasize the tradition of making promises.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The benefits of a balanced diet. B.The importance of strength training.
C.The effectiveness of exercise snacks. D.The impact of long workout sessions.
3.What does the underlined word “stacking” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Removing. B.Changing. C.Deleting. D.Building.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Short Routines for Better Performance B.Boost Your Health with Micro-Workouts
C.Maximize Results with Intense Workouts D.New Year’s Resolution for Better Health
Passage 4
(22-23高一下·福建厦门·开学考试)Have you ever monitored something about yourself? Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve eaten in a day.
If so, you’ve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this popular movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound difficult, but technology is making the process easier.
Perhaps you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle.
Recently, tools such as smart phones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.
So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.
Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In past years, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, came up with the term “Quantified Self.”

Passage 5
(24-25高一下·山东威海·期末)Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise practice that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing. This brings more oxygen to the body and brain, making one feel more energetic and healthy. The idea of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake (假的) and real laughter. 1
Although laughter is widely known to be the best medicine and good for health, in this stressful modern life, there aren’t many reasons that make us laugh. According to scientists, to gain health benefits, one must laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and the laughter should be hearty (尽情的) and loud. 2 Through Laughter Yoga, one can laugh for a longer period of time and heartily, because it is performed as a physical exercise rather than relying on a mental process.
A typical Laughter Yoga class is led by a laughter leader who guides the group through different laughter, breathing, and stretching exercises. It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏). 3 Childlike playfulness and shared eye contact are also encouraged to bring out real, natural laughter.
Laughter Yoga provides many health benefits. It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine. 4 Laughter Yoga is a single exercise dealing with physical, mental, and emotional stress at the same time. In addition, it helps your body fight illness, lowers blood pressure, and keeps your heart healthy.
5 Practicing laughter in a group builds trust and connection, even among strangers. It gives people a sense of belonging and helps them form lasting friendships, which in turn improves emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
A.After all, it’s good for you.
B.One gets the same health benefits either way.
C.Laughter Yoga also strengthens social connections.
D.The idea that laughter has beneficial effects is not new.
E.It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.
F.Then come laughter exercises that help people laugh loudly and heartily.
G.However, natural laughter needs a reason to start and lasts only a few seconds.

Passage 7

To show my support, I bought her a nice pair of cycling gloves and signed up for a local 20- mile cycling event with her.
As we gathered at the starting point on that sunny but breezy morning, we 2 our bikes nervously, checking the gears and brakes one last time. “Are you sure you won’t get annoyed if I 3 a bit slower?” she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and worry. She had only started 4 on weekends a month ago. “Of course not,” I reassured her with a smile.
When the starting horn 5 , Lily pedaled off steadily. At first, I stayed right beside her, chatting and enjoying the scenery. But as the road opened up and the wind seemed to push me forward, my competitive side took over. I gradually 6 my speed, thinking she would catch up. After a few miles, I looked back, and Lily was no longer in my line of sight. I kept going, pushing myself harder, and crossed the finish line in a 7 time of just under an hour. I felt a rush of pride, despite not having trained intensively.
Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly 8 , feeling that she had let me down. I couldn’t believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.
Determined to improve, Lily made a plan. She decided to cycle to work three times a week and 9 to participate in more cycling events. I watched her 10 early in the morning, even when it was foggy or drizzling. I saw her face strong headwinds and deal with flat tires on the 11 country roads. There were times when she was 12 by steep hills and wanted to give up, but she never did.
Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and 13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and 14 . She had not only overcome her own self - doubt but also achieved a goal she once thought was impossible. Her 15 legs from hours of cycling didn’t seem to bother her at all; all that mattered was the sense of accomplishment she felt.

One summer day, the day 4 a big swim meet, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team, but she said, “Baby, 5 these words: ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ You go to that swim meet tomorrow.”
The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, 6 my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My 7 insisted that I be allowed to swim with the 8 group. I knew that she was 9 me in the race so that our long drive would not be 10 . As I got on the board, I quickly noticed that these swimmers were here to do one thing—— to 11 me!

I was swimming 13 than I’d swum before. As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person.

I hit the wall and 15 to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beaten me, but no one was there. They must have gotten out of the water already.

It showed that drivers were twice as likely 6 (have) heart attacks than the more active conductors. In fact, prolonged sitting has been connected 7 a number of different conditions. If you sit all day, you burn far fewer calories than someone with a more active job.
One possible answer to this problem is for desk workers to use standing desks, to spend at least part of a day on 8 (they) feet. Other experts point out that standing all day can also have negative 9 (effect), such as leg or back pain, recommending that if people do want to use standing desks, they should 10 (gradual) increase the amount of standing time. They also point out that walking is a better choice because it burns far more calories than standing.
