Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves(牵涉) a coach or instructor? Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development,”said Frédéric N.Brière,a psycho-education professor who led the study published this month in Pediatric Research.“And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child.”
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from ages 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress,anxiety,shyness,social pullback at the age of 12.Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating(排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this,Brière and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development.From ages 6 to 10,mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity.At the age of 12,teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress,anxiety,shyness,and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from ages 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brière.“We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development.This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits.Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children,as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges.This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brière concluded.

语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自小说《哈利·波特》,讲述了霍格沃茨魔法学院的学校生活。
1.答案 to jump
解析 考查非谓语动词。根据“you had to remember”可推知,此处用固定短语remember to do sth,意为“记住要做某事”,因此空处应用jump的不定式形式。故填to jump。
2.答案 that/which
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词doors,先行词指物,设空处在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which作引导词。故填that/which。
3.答案 politely
解析 考查副词。分析句子可知,空处修饰动词asked,polite的副词形式politely符合语境,意为“礼貌地”。故填politely。
4.答案 It
解析 考查固定句型。根据“was also very hard to remember”可推知,此处使用固定句型“it is/was+形容词+to do sth”,意为“做某事……”,其中it为形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语,因此空处应用it,且空处位于句首,it的首字母应大写。故填It。
5.答案 going
解析 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词kept且空前没有连词,所以此处填非谓语动词,根据固定短语keep doing sth,意为“不断做某事,一直做某事”,可知空处应用go的动名词形式。故填going。
6.答案 was
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,空处作句子的谓语,结合kept可知,时态为一般过去时,且主语Harry是单数,因此be动词应用was。故填was。
7.答案 movements
解析 考查名词复数。分析句子可知,空处和names并列,作learn的宾语,因此应用move的名词形式movement,意为“运行”,且结合of the planets可知,行星的运行不止一个,movement应用复数形式。故填movements。
8.答案 to study
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句子主干成分完整,空处作句子的目的状语,因此应用study的不定式形式。故填to study。
9.答案 how
解析 考查特殊疑问词。分析句子可知,learn后面用“疑问词+不定式”作宾语,表示方式,故填how。
10.答案 and
解析 考查连词。分析句子可知,空处连接前后两个谓语动词learned和found out,两者之间是并列关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。

A
Richard Branson was a poor academic performer; his headmaster told him he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire.At 16, Branson started a magazine called Student and advertised records in it.From there, he went on to create a successful chain of record stores.He earned his first million at the age of 23.Today, the Virgin Group founder and chairman is worth an estimated(估算的) $5.1 billion.
But when it comes to defining success, the businessman says wealth has nothing to do with it.“Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with,” Branson said.“True success should be measured by how happy you are.It’s a common mistaken belief that money is every businessman’s metric(指标) for success,” he continued.“It’s not, and nor should it be.”
In fact, Branson never starts a company with the primary aim of making a lot of money.“Every Virgin product and service has been made into a reality to make a positive difference in people’s lives.And by focusing on the happiness of our customers, we have been able to build a successful group of companies.”
Happiness isn’t just a metric to measure his level of success.He stressed: “Most people would assume my business success, and the wealth that comes with it, have brought me happiness.But I know I am successful, wealthy and connected because I am happy.”
Branson thinks success has nothing to do with money.“Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to love you actually do love you,” he said while addressing students at Georgia Tech.“I don’t care how big your bank account is, but if you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, your life is a disaster.That’s the ultimate test of how you have lived your life.”
1.What can we infer from what Branson’s headmaster said?
A.Branson was dangerous to school.
B.Branson had a great head for business.
C.Branson should set up his own business.
D.Branson should put more effort into his studies.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由第一段中布兰森的校长对他所说的话“he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire”,以及本段描述的他在商业领域所取得的成就可知,布兰森是一位很有商业头脑的天才。故选B项。
2.Why does Branson mention Virgin products and services?
A.To inspire other companies to work harder.
B.To show how his company makes a profit.
C.To introduce his unique business purpose.
D.To describe how to please customers.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知,布兰森认为开公司的目的不是为了赚大钱,维珍提供的每项产品和服务都是为了在人们的生活中产生积极的影响。由此可知布兰森提到维珍产品和服务是为了介绍他独特的商业目的。故选C项。
3.What does Branson think is the most important in life?
A.Achieving business success.
B.Receiving care from others.
C.Becoming rich at a young age.
D.Getting happiness from success.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段第二句布兰森表达他对成功的看法和“if you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you...lived your life”可知,他认为生活中最重要的是收到他人的关心。故选B项。
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Billionaire’s Definition of Success
B.Whether Money Can Buy Happiness
C.The Rise and Fall of a Wealthy Man
D.Turning Challenges into Chances

B
Victor E.Frankl,the author of Man’s Search for Meaning,once wrote,“Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.”Frankl was right.Attitude is a choice.You could be faced with a thousand problems,many or most over which you have absolutely no control.However,there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest,it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact.All through my teens and into my early adult life,I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard,“Bob,if you’d just change your attitude,you would do a lot better.”At that time,I didn’t know what attitude was,let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable.They follow one another as night follows day.One is the cause,while the other,the result.There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship,which is called The Law of Cause and Effect.Simply stated,if you think in negative terms,you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms,you will achieve positive results.Some people always blame others or circumstances for their problems,while others take responsibility and make things happen.The latter are in control of their life and achieve success through their choices.
You can experience that kind of life as well;you only need to decide.Dorothea Brande once said,“Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so.By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day,you will change your entire outlook.You have the power to choose an abundant life,no matter what your circumstances are.Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you.Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
5.What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?
A.Freedom is the last thing we can control.
B.Most problems in life are in our control.
C.A man can lose anything but freedom.
D.We can choose our attitude at any time.
答案 D
解析 段落大意题。根据第一段的“Attitude is a choice.”以及“one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude”可知,本段围绕“态度完全由我们自己控制”展开。故选D。
6.Why does the author use the example of himself in paragraph 2?
A.To show attitude is important to the old.
B.To prove attitude changes on its own.
C.To show understanding attitude takes time.
D.To prove the author was very stubborn.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段首句“To be honest,it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact.”和末句“At that time,I didn’t know what attitude was,let alone know how to change it!”可推知,作者在第二段通过自己的例子表明理解态度需要时间。故选C。
7.What does “The Law of Cause and Effect” help readers to do?
A.Understand what causes a good attitude.
B.Know the benefit of choosing active attitude.
C.Analyze the effect of a negative attitude.
D.Understand “cause and effect”relationship better.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“...called The Law of Cause and Effect.Simply stated...if you think in positive terms,you will achieve positive results.”可知,了解因果定律有助于读者了解选择积极态度的好处。故选B。
8.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Attitude Is Human Freedom
B.Winning Is a Matter of Control
C.Attitude and Results Are Separable
D.Success Begins with Positive Attitude
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据最后一段的“By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day,you will change your entire outlook...Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.”以及文章内容可知,本文主要说明成功始于积极的态度。故选D。
