Standing at the gate of the senior high school, I felt a little nervous but also excited — this campus was much bigger than my junior high school. I stepped into the classroom, and many classmates were already there. We all looked at each other with odd eyes. Our head teacher was a kind woman. She smiled and asked us to introduce ourselves. When it was my turn, my voice was small, but her encouraging look helped me relax. In the morning, the classes were interesting. Our Chinese teacher told us funny stories, and our math teacher used easy examples to explain new knowledge. I took notes carefully. During the break, the girl next to me talked to me. We found that we both loved taking photos, which made us become friends quickly. At noon, I had lunch in the school dining hall. There were more kinds of food. I stood in line with my new friend and talked about our primary school stories. In the afternoon P.E. class, we ran and played games together. The strange feeling was gone, and the playground was full of our laughter. When school ended, the sunset made the sky red. I walked home happily. It was a great first day. I can’t wait for tomorrow! 1．How did the writer feel when seeing the senior high school campus? A．Only nervous. B．Nervous but excited. C．Frightened but excited. D．Bored and nervous. 2．Who helped the writer relax during the self-introduction? A．The Chinese teacher. B．The math teacher. C．The head teacher.

Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have for one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do. Frank, Aged 21 I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! David, Aged 19 I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry. Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it. 1．What can we infer from Sharon’s words about high school? A．Teachers are quite strict. B．Students often stay up at night. C．Teachers provide little care for students. D．Students should make good use of their time. 2．Who mentions the importance of friends? A．David. B．Frank. C．Sharon. D．Eddie. 3．How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school? A．Excited. B．Worried. C．Bored. D．Relaxed. What a day! That morning. I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and that there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended (推荐) that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 1．How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school? A．He felt anxious. B．He felt more confident. C．He felt helpful. D．He felt very frightened. 2．Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take? A．Maths. B．Chinese. C．Literature. D．History. 3．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A．Adam made up his mind to make the team the next year. B．The coach helped Adam practice playing football. C．Adam handed out food to the students in the school. D．The coach agreed that Adam could enter the team in the second year. 4．Which of the following words can describe Adam? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Dependent. D．Patient. Unit 1话题练习 After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly benefit you. Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities which opened up many new doors for me. Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on your applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Being outgoing is considered a very good quality. What’s more, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews. Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time, with good people to fall back on. The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits it brings. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now. 1．What can we learn from the second paragraph? A．Friends should share common interests. B．Joining a club helps one make friends. C．Joining a club benefits one’s mental health. D．Friends may leave each other sooner or later. 2．What does Paragraph 4 mean? A．Teens today aren’t so interested in joining clubs. B．Some classrooms are not big enough for students. C．Doing club activities can help teens attend a good university. D．Joining a club helps keep students away from doing bad things. 3．In the author’s opinion, what’s the greatest benefit of joining a club? A．Developing new hobbies. B．Meeting different people. C．Getting useful life skills. D．Making use of your free time. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Why Should You Join a Club? B．What Club Should You Join? C．How Can You Join a Club You Like? D．Should You Join a Second Club? Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop skills, and enrich your school life. Here are three popular clubs at our school for you to explore: Environmental Protection Club The Environmental Protection Club focuses on raising students’ awareness of environmental issues and organizing practical activities. Every month, we hold “Green Campus” campaigns, such as tree-planting on the school playground and waste-sorting competitions in classrooms. Last semester, we worked with the local community to clean up the nearby river, which was highly praised by the town government. Members also get the chance to attend environmental lectures given by university professors. Whether you’re interested in protecting wildlife or reducing plastic waste, this club is for you. Drama Club If you love acting, singing, or stage design, the Drama Club is the perfect choice. We put on two plays every school year — one in the fall and one in the spring. Last year, our performance of The Little Prince attracted over 300 audience members, including students, teachers, and parents. Club members take turns in different roles: some act as characters, some design costumes and sets, and others handle lighting and sound. Even if you have no prior experience, our experienced teachers will provide training sessions every Wednesday afternoon. Robotics Club For students who are curious about technology and engineering, the Robotics Club offers an exciting platform. We learn to build and program robots using simple kits. Every year, we take part in the provincial high school robotics competition. Last year, our team won the third prize for designing a robot that could help with household chores like sweeping the floor. The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the science lab. You don’t need to be good at math or science — just bring your enthusiasm. 1．What activity did the Environmental Protection Club do last semester? A．Organized a waste-sorting competition. B．Participated in cleaning a local river. C．Planted trees on the school playground. D．Invited professors to give lectures. 2．How many plays does the Drama Club put on each school year? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．What do we know about the Robotics Club? A．It meets once a week. B．It requires members to be good at math. C．Its team won a prize last year. D．It teaches members to build household robots only. I was thirteen years old. My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before. Angry and stubborn, I could not adapt to this sudden change. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any kind of offering of love. One night, after a particularly difficult day, I stormed into my room, shut the door and got into bed. As I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you — that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters. Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar (研讨课) when, at the end of the day, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. In the midst of my teen years, the letters were reminders of calm that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life get stormy, I know that what under my pillow is assurance of love — consistent (始终如一的) and unconditional love changes my life. 1．The author was angry and stubborn mainly because ________.

Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, is a type of outdoor camping where you spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment  (设备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency (紧急情况), you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, you need to learn a variety of skills to stay safe in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome (旅宿车), you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. A key step is to find a suitable place for parking. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for beginners. 1．Which kind of camping is suitable for beginners? A．RV camping. B．Tent camping. C．Hiking camping. D．Survival camping. 2．What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A．They may be risky. B．They require little equipment. C．They are attractive choices for kids.

He says Ciao! This means hello in his language. Marco travelled with me this month. When he showed me his country on the map, I was attracted by its shape. It looks like a high-heeled boot (高跟靴) in the Mediterranean Sea that’s kicking a strange-shaped ball. Can you find the name of this ball on the world map? Marco told me that he loves cars and that his country is well-known for super-fast cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati. Isn’t it cool? The people also love soccer here. They call it “Calcio.” He told me that they have won four World Cups. The most recent win was in 2006! When he shared this with me, he was very excited and proud. We visited the country’s capital and I was amazed to find that it was more than 2500 years old! We walked around and soon it was time for dinner. Marco told me that people there eat pasta (意大利面食) at least once a day. The different sauces and toppings (酱汁和佐料) mean they never get bored of it. Also, they love including seasonal vegetables in their dinners. I couldn’t wait to enjoy the pizza and pasta with different toppings and sauces. The cappuccino and focaccia bread also made me happy. It’s no wonder that the world has adopted so much of their food! The people in this country celebrate many holidays and enjoy eating big meals with their family. The festive atmosphere makes everyone happy. I was lucky to travel to this country in March and enjoy the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. It is held for four days every year. We also visited the Colosseum, Pantheon, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was really wonderful! Before I said goodbye to Marco, I made a promise to visit again.

As soon as I arrived on the beautiful island, I felt the fresh sea wind and saw the green sights that seemed to go on forever. In Dublin, I walked through the narrow streets of Temple Bar. The locals were very friendly and always willing to help. They shared their stories and traditions with me, making me feel like I was part of their community. I visited a local market where I saw all kinds of handmade crafts (手艺)  and tasted delicious traditional food. The vendors (小贩) were so kind and told me about the history behind their products. I also explored the beautiful parks and gardens, where I saw many people enjoying the sunshine and the natural beauty. I also visited a small village in the west of Ireland. There, I experienced the simple and real countryside life. The people in the village were warm and welcoming. I stayed with a local family, and the grandmother taught me how to make traditional Irish soda bread. The kitchen was full of the smell of the freshly baked bread, and when I ate, I felt it was as delicious as I had never tasted. I also helped them with some farm work, like feeding the animals and collecting eggs. It was a great way to experience the Irish way of life. The Irish culture, with its old traditions and the spirit of togetherness, left a lasting mark on me. It made me understand the importance of protecting our own cultural traditions and the value of friendship. This trip to Ireland was not just a journey to a beautiful country, but a journey into the heart of a culture that will always be special in my memory. 1．What was the author’s first impression on her arrival in Ireland?

Unit 3话题练习 Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. Although it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Joining in multiple (多样的) sports enables children to acquire a knowledge of many movement skills. In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports. Repetitive (重复的) movements can cause the growing bodies to get injured later on. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who are expert in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually give up. Being expert in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having all kinds of experiences will keep children interested and active, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure. Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to (接触) baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (协调). Soccer develops better footwork. Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. The list goes on and on! Joining in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic. Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now. 1．What will happen to kids if they do one sport repeatedly? A．They can be more likely to get injured. B．They can spare more time to study. C．They can be skilled at the sport early. D．They can stay more concentrated. 2．What’s implied about multi-sports in Paragraph 3? A．They inspire kids’ sporting spirit. B．They help kids develop their special talents C．They help advance kids’ all-round development. D．They have much higher requirements for kids. 3．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A．Children should turn their interests into professions. B．Sports skills make kids more popular at school. C．Parents should lower their expectations for kids D．Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．How sports benefit kids. B．Why kids should try multi-sports. C．What sports children should try. D．Why multi-sports are popular today. Making exercise fun is a challenge for many people who struggle to find the motivation (动机) to work out. But rather than forcing yourself to enjoy running or that gym class you once attended, the solution may lie in something more straightforward — simply choosing exercises that fit your personality, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. To reach their findings, the study’s co-lead author, Flaminia Ronca, a professor in exercise science at University College London, and her coworkers first directed the 132 subjects, aged between 25 and 51 years old, to complete a questionnaire showing their personality types. The study took a commonly used model that describes someone’s personality, namely outgoing people, quiet worriers, kind helpers, curious explorers, and careful planners. The researchers then ran fitness tests on the subjects and put them into two groups. One group was given an eight-week biking plan, while the control group did 10 minutes a week of stretching (伸展) exercises. Of the 132 subjects, 86 completed both pre-and post-testing either side of these eight weeks. The study team found that, although fitness improved across all personality types for those who completed the biking and stretching programs, there was a marked difference in enjoyment of exercise. Outgoing people enjoyed the higher-intensity (强度) lab fitness tests, while quiet worriers enjoyed the home-based light-intensity workouts. The study also showed how exercise affected people’s stress levels based on their personality. People who scored high in neuroticism, meaning they feel more anxious, experienced a bigger drop in stress levels compared with other groups. “I think that’s quite a powerful message to give,” Ronca said. Considering the many benefits of exercise, she hoped their findings would encourage people to find forms of exercise they enjoy, making it easier to stick to a fitness routine and to improve their fitness over time. 1．In what way were the two groups different in terms of research design? A．Their age. B．Their hobby. C．Exercise type. D．Health condition. 2．What did the study find about personality? A．It drives people to achieve dreams. B．It affects the enjoyment of exercise. C．It shows similarities in certain ways. D．It helps us complete more exercises. 3．What does Ronca intend to explain in the last paragraph? A．The application of the findings. B．The background of the experiment. C．The direction of further research. D．The arrangement for daily exercise. 4．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．The Influence of Exercise on Personality B．The Benefits of the Stretching Program C．Giving You New Motivation to Exercise D．Matching Workouts to Your Personality It may seem hard to believe, but snacking several times a day can boost your health and fitness — exercise snacking, that is. “Exercise snacks” are short bursts of activity — 30 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes max — that include almost any type of movement. Think climbing stairs, walking, cycling, or dancing. Today, numerous studies prove these mini workouts can make a difference. Performing 15-to 30-second exercise snacks three times daily was shown to improve cardiorespiratory (心和肺的) fitness levels and exercise performance in inactive adults, according to a small January 2022 study published in the journal Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews. Adults who reported they didn't work out saw a 17% to 18% reduction in cancer cases after they began doing just 3.4 to 3.6 minutes of intense (激烈的) physical activity daily, a July 2023 study of 22,398 people found. Their daily physical activity was done in bursts lasting less than one or two minutes. Hitting 4.5 minutes (in total) of intense physical activity each day was linked to a 31% to 32% lower risk of cancer, according to the study published in JAMA Oncology. The benefits of movement extend to brain health, too. Doing even a small amount of easy to hard physical activity every day reduces your risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a March study in JAMDA: The Journal of the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association. Exercise snacks are a favorite tool used by Dr. Supatra Tovar, owner of Dr. Supatra Tovar & Associates. “I’m a big proponent of behavior change that starts tiny,” Tovar said. “So I like to create behaviors with my clients that are easy, achievable and doable every day of the week.” “Your body is kind of lazy,” said Michael Betts, a personal trainer and director at TrainFitness who’s based in London. “Doing these little exercise snacks reminds your body that it does need to work to maintain and improve its overall function.” 1．What can be called an exercise snack according to the text? A．Singing songs with your classmates. B．Turning off the lights before leaving school. C．Jogging without stopping for 20 minutes in PE class. D．Rushing from your classroom to the dining hall for lunch. 2．What is a benefit that exercise snacks bring according to the text? A．Lowering cancer risk. B．Improving muscle strength. C．Keeping people away from dementia. D．Improving the heart rate of inactive adults. 3．What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．Researcher. B．Judge. C．Explorer. D．Supporter. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different types of exercise. B．To encourage short bursts of physical activity. C．To show some studies about mini workouts. D．To stress the importance of daily exercise. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解12篇 （Welcome Unit-Unit 3） 本资料共12篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3篇单元话题专题训练 单元 单元话题 Welcome Unit 高中生活 Unit 1 Teenage Life 青少年生活 Unit 2 Travelling Around 旅行 Unit 3 Sports and Fitness 运动与健康 Welcome Unit话题练习 The sun rose gently when I picked up my new schoolbag and left home.

Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have for one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do. Frank, Aged 21 I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! David, Aged 19 I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry. Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone.

I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and that there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing. First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended (推荐) that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future. 1．How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school?

You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly benefit you. Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities which opened up many new doors for me. Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on your applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Being outgoing is considered a very good quality. What’s more, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews. Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time, with good people to fall back on. The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits it brings. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now. 1．What can we learn from the second paragraph? A．Friends should share common interests. B．Joining a club helps one make friends. C．Joining a club benefits one’s mental health. D．Friends may leave each other sooner or later. 2．What does Paragraph 4 mean? A．Teens today aren’t so interested in joining clubs. B．Some classrooms are not big enough for students. C．Doing club activities can help teens attend a good university. D．Joining a club helps keep students away from doing bad things. 3．In the author’s opinion, what’s the greatest benefit of joining a club? A．Developing new hobbies. B．Meeting different people. C．Getting useful life skills. D．Making use of your free time. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Why Should You Join a Club? B．What Club Should You Join? C．How Can You Join a Club You Like? D．Should You Join a Second Club? 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了加入高中学校社团的益处，包括结交新朋友、丰富申请履历、明智利用空闲时间及获得长期生活技能等，鼓励未入社的同学积极加入。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you.

Clubs are good places to spend time, with good people to fall back on.(青少年也很容易陷入不良群体之中，这可能会导致一些不良后果。俱乐部是个很好的消磨时间的场所，那里有值得信赖的好人可以依靠。)”可知，本段主要说明加入俱乐部可以帮助学生远离不良行为。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits it brings. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. (你加入俱乐部最重要的原因在于它能带来的长期益处。你在俱乐部中所学到的技能都是实用的，能够应用于日常生活，我认为这就是加入俱乐部的最终目的。)”可知，作者认为加入俱乐部的最大好处是获得有用的生活技能。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly benefit you.(但作为一名高中生，我可以告诉你，加入学校俱乐部会让你受益匪浅。)”和最后一段中“So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now.(所以，如果你还没有加入学校俱乐部，你现在就知道该怎么做了。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了加入学校俱乐部的好处，鼓励读者加入俱乐部。因此，最佳标题是A选项“Why Should You Join a Club?(你为什么要加入俱乐部？)”。故选A。 Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop skills, and enrich your school life. Here are three popular clubs at our school for you to explore: Environmental Protection Club The Environmental Protection Club focuses on raising students’ awareness of environmental issues and organizing practical activities.

Even if you have no prior experience, our experienced teachers will provide training sessions every Wednesday afternoon. Robotics Club For students who are curious about technology and engineering, the Robotics Club offers an exciting platform. We learn to build and program robots using simple kits.

Angry and stubborn, I could not adapt to this sudden change. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any kind of offering of love. One night, after a particularly difficult day, I stormed into my room, shut the door and got into bed. As I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you — that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters. Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar (研讨课) when, at the end of the day, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. In the midst of my teen years, the letters were reminders of calm that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life get stormy, I know that what under my pillow is assurance of love — consistent (始终如一的) and unconditional love changes my life. 1．The author was angry and stubborn mainly because ________.

I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you — that will never change. Love, Mom’.(上面写着：‘迈克，我知道现在生活很艰难，我知道你很不开心，我也知道我们做的并不都是对的。但我也知道，我完全爱你，无论你做什么或说什么，都不会改变这一点。我在这里陪着你，我爱你——这永远不会改变。爱你的，妈妈’。)”可知，这封信是作者的妈妈写的，表达了妈妈的爱和理解。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar (研讨课) when, at the end of the day, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son.

Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids.

You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome (旅宿车), you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors.

It was a great way to experience the Irish way of life.(我还探访了爱尔兰西部的一座小村庄。在那里，我体验了淳朴真实的乡村生活：村民们热情好客，我寄宿在当地人家里，老奶奶手把手教我制作传统爱尔兰苏打面包。厨房里飘着刚出炉面包的香气，那前所未有的美味至今令我难忘。我还帮忙做些农活，比如喂养牲畜、捡拾鸡蛋，这无疑是体验爱尔兰生活方式的绝佳途径)”可知，第三段主要讲述了作者在爱尔兰小村庄的个人经历，包括体验乡村生活和当地文化传统。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Irish culture, with its old traditions and the spirit of togetherness, left a lasting mark on me. It made me understand the importance of protecting our own cultural traditions and the value of friendship. This trip to Ireland was not just a journey to a beautiful country, but a journey into the heart of a culture that will always be special in my memory.(爱尔兰文化以其古老传统与团结精神在我心中留下深刻烙印。它让我深刻体会到守护自身文化传统的重要性，也让我领悟到友情的珍贵价值。这次爱尔兰之旅不仅是前往美丽国度的行程，更是一场深入文化核心的探索——这段记忆将永远珍藏在我心底)”可知，作者认为这次爱尔兰之旅不仅是前往美丽国度的行程，更是一场深入文化核心的探索，所以爱尔兰之旅是有意义的。故选C项。 Unit 3话题练习 Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. Although it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Joining in multiple (多样的) sports enables children to acquire a knowledge of many movement skills. In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports. Repetitive (重复的) movements can cause the growing bodies to get injured later on. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who are expert in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually give up. Being expert in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having all kinds of experiences will keep children interested and active, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure. Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to (接触) baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (协调). Soccer develops better footwork. Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. The list goes on and on! Joining in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic. Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now. 1．What will happen to kids if they do one sport repeatedly? A．They can be more likely to get injured. B．They can spare more time to study. C．They can be skilled at the sport early. D．They can stay more concentrated. 2．What’s implied about multi-sports in Paragraph 3? A．They inspire kids’ sporting spirit. B．They help kids develop their special talents C．They help advance kids’ all-round development. D．They have much higher requirements for kids. 3．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A．Children should turn their interests into professions. B．Sports skills make kids more popular at school. C．Parents should lower their expectations for kids D．Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．How sports benefit kids. B．Why kids should try multi-sports. C．What sports children should try. D．Why multi-sports are popular today. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出运动对孩子身心发展重要，强调应鼓励孩子参与多项运动，还从减少受伤、体验不同角色、发现喜好等方面说明理由。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Repetitive (重复的) movements can cause the growing bodies to get injured later on. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries.(重复的动作会导致发育中的身体在日后受伤。而参与多项运动时，每项运动对身体的作用略有不同，这会减少过度使用造成的伤害。)”可知，孩子反复进行一项运动会更可能受伤。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to (接触) baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (协调). Soccer develops better footwork. Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. The list goes on and on! Joining in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic.(参与多项运动还能让孩子体验不同角色。在足球队里当守门员，和在篮球队里当控球后卫，有着很大区别。接触棒球能提升手眼协调能力，踢足球能锻炼脚下技术，打排球则有助于增强跳跃能力和手眼协调能力，这样的例子不胜枚举！参与多项运动能丰富孩子在成长、社交和不同场景下的体验。这不仅为他们创造了机会，让他们成为更优秀的竞争者，还能助力他们成长为灵活又充满活力的潜力运动员。)”可知，多项运动有助于孩子全面发展。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. (除了培养广泛的运动技能，更重要的是，多项运动为孩子提供了发现自己喜好的机会。)”可知，作者在最后一段想表达多项运动帮助孩子找到喜欢的运动。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports. (除此之外，以下还有一些其他充分的理由，说明为什么应该鼓励孩子参与多种运动。)”及后文围绕“减少受伤、保持兴趣、体验不同角色、发现喜好”等理由展开可知，文章核心是“为什么孩子应该尝试多项运动”。故选B项。 Making exercise fun is a challenge for many people who struggle to find the motivation (动机) to work out. But rather than forcing yourself to enjoy running or that gym class you once attended, the solution may lie in something more straightforward — simply choosing exercises that fit your personality, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. To reach their findings, the study’s co-lead author, Flaminia Ronca, a professor in exercise science at University College London, and her coworkers first directed the 132 subjects, aged between 25 and 51 years old, to complete a questionnaire showing their personality types. The study took a commonly used model that describes someone’s personality, namely outgoing people, quiet worriers, kind helpers, curious explorers, and careful planners. The researchers then ran fitness tests on the subjects and put them into two groups. One group was given an eight-week biking plan, while the control group did 10 minutes a week of stretching (伸展) exercises. Of the 132 subjects, 86 completed both pre-and post-testing either side of these eight weeks. The study team found that, although fitness improved across all personality types for those who completed the biking and stretching programs, there was a marked difference in enjoyment of exercise. Outgoing people enjoyed the higher-intensity (强度) lab fitness tests, while quiet worriers enjoyed the home-based light-intensity workouts. The study also showed how exercise affected people’s stress levels based on their personality. People who scored high in neuroticism, meaning they feel more anxious, experienced a bigger drop in stress levels compared with other groups. “I think that’s quite a powerful message to give,” Ronca said. Considering the many benefits of exercise, she hoped their findings would encourage people to find forms of exercise they enjoy, making it easier to stick to a fitness routine and to improve their fitness over time. 1．In what way were the two groups different in terms of research design? A．Their age. B．Their hobby. C．Exercise type. D．Health condition. 2．What did the study find about personality? A．It drives people to achieve dreams. B．It affects the enjoyment of exercise. C．It shows similarities in certain ways. D．It helps us complete more exercises. 3．What does Ronca intend to explain in the last paragraph? A．The application of the findings. B．The background of the experiment. C．The direction of further research. D．The arrangement for daily exercise. 4．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．The Influence of Exercise on Personality B．The Benefits of the Stretching Program C．Giving You New Motivation to Exercise D．Matching Workouts to Your Personality 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。伦敦大学学院(University College London)的研究表明，选择适合自己个性的运动能提高锻炼的乐趣和效果。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“One group was given an eight-week biking plan, while the control group did 10 minutes a week of stretching (伸展) exercises.(一组参与者被安排了一个为期八周的骑自行车锻炼计划，而对照组则每周仅进行10分钟的伸展运动。)”可知，在实验设计上，两组实验对象的运动类型是不同的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“The study team found that, although fitness improved across all personality types for those who completed the biking and stretching programs, there was a marked difference in enjoyment of exercise. Outgoing people enjoyed the higher-intensity (强度) lab fitness tests, while quiet worriers enjoyed the home-based light-intensity workouts.(研究团队发现，尽管所有性格类型的人在完成骑行和伸展训练后身体素质都有所提升，但他们在锻炼时的愉悦感却存在显著差异。外向的人更喜欢高强度的实验室健身测试，而性格内向、容易焦虑的人则更喜欢家庭中的低强度锻炼。)”可知，性格直接影响运动时的愉悦感。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Considering the many benefits of exercise, she hoped their findings would encourage people to find forms of exercise they enjoy, making it easier to stick to a fitness routine and to improve their fitness over time.(鉴于运动带来的诸多益处，她希望他们的研究结果能够激励人们找到自己喜欢的运动方式，从而更易于坚持健身计划，并逐步提升自身的身体素质。)”可推断，Ronca在此强调研究成果在实际生活中的应用。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。总览全文核心内容，尤其是第一段“But rather than forcing yourself to enjoy running or that gym class you once attended, the solution may lie in something more straightforward—simply choosing exercises that fit your personality, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.(但根据最近发表在《心理学前沿》杂志上的一项研究，解决办法或许并非强迫自己去享受跑步或曾经参加过的体育课，而是更简单直接的办法——根据自己的个性选择适合自己的运动方式。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现——选择适合自己个性的运动能提高锻炼的乐趣和效果。由此可知，D项能够体现语篇的主旨，适合作本文标题。故选D。 It may seem hard to believe, but snacking several times a day can boost your health and fitness — exercise snacking, that is. “Exercise snacks” are short bursts of activity — 30 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes max — that include almost any type of movement. Think climbing stairs, walking, cycling, or dancing. Today, numerous studies prove these mini workouts can make a difference. Performing 15-to 30-second exercise snacks three times daily was shown to improve cardiorespiratory (心和肺的) fitness levels and exercise performance in inactive adults, according to a small January 2022 study published in the journal Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews. Adults who reported they didn't work out saw a 17% to 18% reduction in cancer cases after they began doing just 3.4 to 3.6 minutes of intense (激烈的) physical activity daily, a July 2023 study of 22,398 people found. Their daily physical activity was done in bursts lasting less than one or two minutes. Hitting 4.5 minutes (in total) of intense physical activity each day was linked to a 31% to 32% lower risk of cancer, according to the study published in JAMA Oncology. The benefits of movement extend to brain health, too. Doing even a small amount of easy to hard physical activity every day reduces your risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a March study in JAMDA: The Journal of the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association. Exercise snacks are a favorite tool used by Dr. Supatra Tovar, owner of Dr. Supatra Tovar & Associates. “I’m a big proponent of behavior change that starts tiny,” Tovar said. “So I like to create behaviors with my clients that are easy, achievable and doable every day of the week.” “Your body is kind of lazy,” said Michael Betts, a personal trainer and director at TrainFitness who’s based in London. “Doing these little exercise snacks reminds your body that it does need to work to maintain and improve its overall function.” 1．What can be called an exercise snack according to the text? A．Singing songs with your classmates. B．Turning off the lights before leaving school. C．Jogging without stopping for 20 minutes in PE class. D．Rushing from your classroom to the dining hall for lunch. 2．What is a benefit that exercise snacks bring according to the text? A．Lowering cancer risk. B．Improving muscle strength. C．Keeping people away from dementia. D．Improving the heart rate of inactive adults. 3．What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．Researcher. B．Judge. C．Explorer. D．Supporter. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different types of exercise. B．To encourage short bursts of physical activity. C．To show some studies about mini workouts. D．To stress the importance of daily exercise. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过多项研究数据和专家观点介绍了“运动零食”的显著益处——提升心肺功能、降低癌症风险、改善大脑健康。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段““Exercise snacks” are short bursts of activity — 30 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes max — that include almost any type of movement. Think climbing stairs, walking, cycling, or dancing.(“运动零食”指的是短时间的活动爆发——30秒到最长5至10分钟不等——几乎涵盖所有类型的身体活动。比如爬楼梯、走路、骑自行车或跳舞都属于此类。)”可知，运动零食是一种短时间的运动爆发，包括爬楼梯、散步、骑自行车或跳舞等几乎任何类型的运动，选项D“从教室冲到餐厅吃午饭”属于短时间的运动爆发，符合运动零食的定义。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Adults who reported they didn’t work out saw a 17% to 18% reduction in cancer cases after they began doing just 3.4 to 3.6 minutes of intense (激烈的) physical activity daily.(那些报告自己不锻炼的成年人在开始每天只进行3.4到3.6分钟的剧烈运动后，癌症病例减少了17%到18%。)”可知，运动零食可以降低患癌症的风险。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据上文“Exercise snacks are a favorite tool used by Dr. Supatra Tovar(运动零食是 Supatra Tovar 博士青睐的方法)”和下文“I like to create behaviors with my clients that are easy, achievable(我喜欢和客户一起建立简单、可实现的行为习惯)”可知，她对从小处开始的行为改变持支持态度。由此可推知，proponent意为“支持者、拥护者”，与选项D“Supporter”含义一致。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要通过多项研究数据和专家观点介绍了“运动零食”的显著益处——提升心肺功能、降低癌症风险、改善大脑健康。由此可推知, 作者写这篇文章的目的主要是想鼓励读者积极进行短时运动。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
