课时达标(四)|UNIT 3 SPORTS AND FITNESS
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school.Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different.In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory.Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father.He lifted weights every morning at home.He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team.Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of the Committee of Games.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation.I still love reading and the arts, too.As far as I'm concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
I'm sure we all know that exercise is great for our health.But sometimes finding that motivation(动力) to work out can be a little difficult.So, in this post, I'm going to share my top four reasons for working out.
1.
Whenever I move to a new city to study or work, I look for exercise classes to do.You meet like-minded people, and you can support each other during a difficult workout.2.
Exercise makes you feel confident.
We all know the physical advantages of exercise on our bodies but we don't always talk about the mental ones.3. This new confidence might even help in your social or work life.
Exercise helps to reduce stress.
Going for a run can help you forget the problems and worries of daily life.4. It makes me feel less worried and it also helps me to sleep those important eight hours the night before a big exam.
Finally, exercise makes us feel strong and healthy!
Every day, the 20 minutes in the gym get easier, the weights feel lighter and you feel a great sense of achievement.5.
So, next time you're feeling down or stressed, put your trainers on and get some exercise.It might not be easy but I promise you'll feel so much better once you've finished!
A.Exercising is sociable.
B.Exercise can change your mind.
C.During exams, I always spend an hour a day in the gym.
D.When the class finishes, you all share a collective feeling of happiness!
E.When you work out, your body produces something that makes you happy.
F.It's a great feeling doing something you couldn't do before through hard work.
G.Exercise might give you a feeling of confidence from being comfortable with your body.

I often wonder 3 my father ever had a son like me.I mean he's so 4 and so good at everything.So I used to dream about doing something spectacular(令人印象深刻的) to 5 my father.
In one class, my teacher announced a Father's Day essay contest for us and the winners' essays would be 6 in front of all the parents and students.After school I walked home, 7 about my father, who I would write about in my essay.
He sat with me in the 8 when I was a little kid and had a nightmare.He 9 me with a new puppy at my eighth birthday party.To me, he wasn't a world-famous astronaut, but just my dad.
I wrote about all these 10 in my essay.One of our neighbors said, “I 11 you'll win the contest, David.You're the only one in town whose father is an astronaut.” I didn't want to win 12 because my father was an astronaut.
I won the second prize.When I finished reading my essay, the 13 applauded.I saw my father blowing his nose.
Dad nodded to me, 14 his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son, this is the 15 moment of my life,” he said.
It was the proudest moment of my life, too.Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was enough just to be my father's son.

语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会——文学与体育
语篇导读:本文主要介绍了苏东坡不仅是著名诗人,还是一位运动达人。
1.答案 lovers
解析 考查名词的数。句意:现代人越来越关注运动,而中国古代也有很多健身爱好者。通过句意和many可知,空处需填复数形式,故填lovers。
2.答案 preferred
解析 考查时态和语态。句意:著名诗人苏东坡偏爱长跑,他认为只有通过经常活动,才能拥有强壮的身体并能够很快适应季节变化。空处为句中谓语动词,且与下文thought并列,且与主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,应用主动语态,故填preferred。
3.答案 regularly
解析 考查词性转换。所填词作状语修饰moving your body,应用副词形式,故填regularly。
4.答案 sweaty
解析 考查词性转换。句意:苏东坡会不停奔跑,直到汗流浃背、身体发热、血液循环和四肢感到焕然一新时才会停止。was是系动词,此处应用形容词形式作表语,故填sweaty。
5.答案 which
解析 考查引导词。句意:我们可以看出,当苏东坡在跑步的时候,他强调了“气”,即能量或者生命的本质。所填词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是qi,指物,在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which。
6.答案 and
解析 考查并列连词。句意:他在早晨跑步,晚上静坐冥想,从而使“气”游走于身体内部。ran和sat是并列谓语,根据句意,此处表示并列关系,故填and。
7.答案 thought
解析 考查词性转换。句意参见上题解析。形容词deep修饰名词,作介词in的宾语,根据句意,此处用作不可数名词,故填thought。
8.答案 making
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意参见第6题解析。句子已有谓语动词ran, sat,空前没有连词连接,所以make只能是非谓语;make与主语he为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式作结果状语。
9.答案 stronger
解析 考查比较等级。句意:冥想20天左右后,他感觉自己的身体更加强壮,可以在中途不休息的情况下,从第一层直接跑到第五层。空前有系动词,空处需要填形容词,构成系表结构,且因为空前much用来修饰形容词的比较级,故填stronger。
10.答案 without
解析 考查介词。根据句意可推断,他能在中途不休息的情况下,从一层跑到五层,故填without。
