Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
One of the most touching stories of Olympic triumph(成就)—one you might never have heard before—is that of weightlifting champion Oscar Figueroa.Over the course of his athletic career,the 41-year-old has had the chance to compete in the Olympic Games four different times.But with those competitions came plenty of heartbreak and disappointment,before he finally got his victory.
In the 2004 Olympic Games,Figueroa’s first appearance,he had a less-than-perfect performance but was still able to swing a fifth-place finish.He looked forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a way to redeem himself.Unfortunately,just two weeks before the big event,he ended up with a hand injury.This injury set him back severely in his weightlifting and ended up costing him the competition.
By the London Olympic Games in 2012,Figueroa came back readier than ever.He had an incredible run that year and took home the silver medal.But in spite of all he’d already experienced,he still aimed higher.In 2016,he headed to Rio to earn the highest prize—and claim that prize he did! After his final lift,knowing just how incredible his performance had been,Figueroa fell to the ground in tears.In a few moments,he took off his shoes and put them on the stage,symbolizing his decision to finally retire from his time as an Olympian.Amazingly enough,he took home the gold that year!
No matter how hard he fell,he never gave up,serving as a powerful example of hope,perseverance,and determination.Now,he can officially say he is the first Colombian man to have ever taken home the gold in his category.“I was so low in Beijing,and I am so high here,” he told IWF at the 2016 Olympics.“It’s 22 years since I started and now is the time to retire...But I am full of emotion—it’s as though I was lifting for the whole country,and those tears were for all of Colombia.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了哥伦比亚举重运动员Oscar Figueroa在经历四届奥运会之后最终获得金牌的故事。
1.Which can replace the underlined word “redeem” in paragraph 2?
A.Forgive. B.Thank.
C.Prove. D.Abandon.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“In the 2004 Olympic Games,Figueroa’s first appearance,he had a less-than-perfect performance but was still able to swing a fifth-place finish.”可知,Figueroa在2004年奥运会上的表现并不完美。所以画线词所在句“He looked forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a way to redeem himself.”是说他期待着2008年北京奥运会来证明自己。故选C。
2.When did Figueroa win the gold medal?
A.In 2004. B.In 2016.
C.In 2008. D.In 2012.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2016,he headed to Rio to earn the highest prize—and claim that prize he did!”可知,Figueroa于2016年获得金牌。故选B。
3.Why did Figueroa take off his shoes in the Rio Olympic Games?
A.He had no intention of retiring.
B.He was determined to retire as an Olympian.
C.The broken shoes forced him to retire.
D.He had to retire due to his injured foot.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a few moments,he took off his shoes and put them on the stage,symbolizing his decision to finally retire from his time as an Olympian.”可知,Figueroa在里约奥运会上脱下鞋子是因为他决心以奥运选手的身份退役。故选B。
4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?
A.Entertainment. B.Health.
C.Education. D.Sports.
答案 D
解析 文章出处题。本文主要讲述了哥伦比亚举重运动员Oscar Figueroa在经历四届奥运会之后最终获得金牌的故事。所以本文最有可能出现在报纸的体育版面。故选D。
B
At the end of many sports tournaments and spelling bees,all the contestants are honored for their effort.But in a world where not everyone can be a winner,does getting a consolation(安慰) prize actually increase a child’s self-worth?
“When toddlers,preschoolers,and kindergartners compete,they don’t know the expectations adults have for them,” says Emily Pagone,an Illinois-based psychologist and parenting coach.“Offering them a prize or medal as a form of positive reinforcement(正强化) can highlight the skills that the losers displayed and reinforce the sportsmanship that all the players displayed.”
But what really makes a participation award worthwhile is the conversation that comes with it.“As the caregivers around the children acknowledge their abilities,talents,and strengths,that’s the compass for how children learn about the expectations of the situation,” Pagone says.Pointing out what kids do well can also build their self-confidence.
Still,there is one problem with this system: It creates a feedback loop of external motivation,driven by superficial bonus and praise.However,it’s valuable for students to play soccer not only because they’re seeking tokens to decorate their rooms,but also because they enjoy the sport.They won’t always get prizes for doing their best,so it’s crucial to build an inner desire to push through in challenging times.
For this reason,Pagone recommends transitioning away from participation awards around kindergarten or first grade.But not all experts agree that’s best.“Positive reinforcement can also benefit older kids and adults,keeping them coming back to their hobby even after a tough practice or season,” says Kelly LaPorte,clinical director of Naperville Counseling Center in Illinois.“That lesson of celebrating the effort and not just the outcome remains important throughout a person’s life.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。体育竞技比赛中,常常会颁发“参与奖”,这不仅是一种安慰的手段,还能帮助孩子了解环境的期望和建立孩子的自信心。
5.Why is a participation award important in Emily Pagone’s opinion?
A.It satisfies parents’ high expectations.
B.It highlights the importance of fairness.
C.It relieves peer pressure in competition.
D.It recognizes all the contestants’ efforts.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段末尾句“Offering them a prize or medal as a form of positive reinforcement(正强化) can highlight the skills that the losers displayed and reinforce the sportsmanship that all the players displayed.” 可知,作为一种积极的强化形式,给予幼年参赛者奖励可以突出失败者所展示的技能,并强化所有玩家所展示的体育精神。故选D。
6.Which of the following are caregivers suggested to do?
A.Provide opportunities to draw a lesson.
B.Give their children heartfelt appreciation.
C.Show problem-solving talents and abilities.
D.Encourage their kids with material rewards.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知,真正让参与奖有价值的是随之而来的和孩子的对话。当照顾者承认孩子的能力、天赋和优势时,既给孩子指明了期望,还可以建立他们的自信。因此要由衷地欣赏孩子,故选B。
7.What is Kelly LaPorte’s attitude toward positive reinforcement?
A.Critical. B.Unconcerned.
C.Favorable. D.Objective.
答案 C
解析 观点态度题。根据文章末段中“Positive reinforcement can also benefit older kids and adults...That lesson of celebrating the effort and not just the outcome remains important throughout a person’s life.”可知,积极的强化可以使年龄较大的孩子和成年人受益。同时,庆祝努力本身而不仅仅是关注结果,也是一个人的一生中重要的课题。故Kelly LaPorte对正向强化的态度是支持的,故选C。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.Should Participation Awards Exist?
B.What Is a Positive Reinforcement?
C.Strategies to Build Inner Motivation
D.Why We Need Mutual Conversation
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。根据整篇文章的内容和结构可知,开篇提出论点“安慰奖是否能提高孩子的自我价值感?”,随后展示了研究学家Emily Pagone的观点——承认孩子整个过程所表现出的努力是一种有效的正向强化。接着又提出了反对的意见。最后文章以Kelly LaPorte的观点结束。因此“是否应该有参与奖”作文章标题最佳,故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Science shows that stretching(拉伸) is essential after exercise.Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle.What’s more,stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress. 1
You could feel sick.You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise,you raise your heart rate for a period of time.While it’s great to get that blood flowing,it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. 2 As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher,you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast.Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore.When you exercise your muscles,it produces lactic acid(乳酸),which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore.When you rest between periods of exercise,your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid.One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? 3 Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body,which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
4 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury.Besides,your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 5 Sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A.You’ll be at risk of injury.
B.You guessed it:Stretching.
C.You’ll improve your flexibility by stretching.
D.It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E.This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”.
F.There are harmful side effects if you don’t stretch after exercise.
G.That’s why people often feel pain in their “weight bearing” joints like knees and hips.
1.答案 F
解析 空前讲锻炼之后做拉伸运动的好处,由后文各段首句可知,下文讲的是不做拉伸运动的不良后果。该空承上启下,为本文的中心句,F选项符合题意,引出下文。故选F。
2.答案 E
解析 根据上文“it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over”可知,锻炼结束后,让心率恢复到正常水平同样重要,下文说明了这样做的原因。E选项“这也就是健身界所说的‘冷身运动’”承接上文,选项中的This指代上文让心率恢复正常这一过程。故选E。
3.答案 B
解析 根据上句“One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid?”可知,设空处需要一个答案。根据下文内容“Stretching helps you distribute...”可知,B选项就是对问句的回答。故选B。
4.答案 A
解析 根据文章结构可知,设空处为本段的主旨句。结合后文“Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.”可知本段主要讲述受伤的风险。A选项是不做拉伸运动的不良后果且符合本段内容,选项中的“risk of injury”和后文的injury risk对应。故选A。
5.答案 G
解析 根据上句“Besides,your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints.”可知,活动范围的缩减也会导致关节供血和营养物质减少。G选项“这就是为什么人们经常在膝盖和臀部等‘负重’关节感到疼痛”承接上文,并引出下文坚持拉伸运动的建议。故选G。
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,共15分)

Ⅴ.读后续写微练(共6小题;每小题3分,共18分)
Tom’s love for soccer ran deep,and he played the game with a passion that was infectious(有感染力的) to everyone around him.But there was one thing that upset him—his worn-out soccer shoes.These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother,and they were falling apart.With his birthday drawing near,Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game.However,he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon,Tom and his best friend,David,were at school,watching an exciting soccer match.The exciting run and shout,the determination on the athletes’ faces,and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race.It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish.He took a long deep breath and said,“How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday,but I know it’s impossible.”
David,sitting beside him,couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words.The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind.After school,David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom,I really want to do this for Tom.He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long.It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly,proud of her son’s compassion(同情) .“David,it’s a wonderful idea.It’s not just about the gift;it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money,his mother suggested,“You know,David,there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes.Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (修剪草坪) and other services.Some even need help with newspaper delivery.You can offer your services and earn money that way.”

David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.“You’re right,Mom! I can mow the lawn and 1.do other jobs for the neighbors to save up the money(给邻居们做其他工作来攒钱).It’s a great idea!” David took his mother’s advice to heart and decided to use his weekends productively.He offered lawn-mowing services,and even took on a newspaper delivery job.2.With each task completed(每完成一项任务),he was one step closer to achieving his goal of buying the soccer shoes for Tom.The thought 3.that he was close to making Tom’s wish come true(他马上就要实现Tom的愿望) filled him with enthusiasm.
The day of Tom’s birthday finally arrived,and David couldn’t wait to surprise his best friend.4.At school,David presented the gift to Tom(在学校,David把礼物给了Tom).“Happy birthday,Tom,” he said with a wide smile.Tom,surprised and curious,eagerly tore open the wrapping paper.5.His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw the pair of new soccer shoes(当他看到那双新球鞋的时候他的眼睛惊讶地瞪得很大).Overwhelmed with gratitude,Tom said,“David,you did this for me? I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!” 6.Tears of joy welled up in his eyes and he hugged his best friend(喜悦的泪水涌上了他的双眼,他拥抱了他最好的朋友).And David was very happy that he finally made his friend’s dream come true.
