You can do it in a park or even at home. But many people find it boring after jogging for a while. Then how can we keep jogging fun? Here are some ideas to make your jogging more interesting. First you should choose to wear your favourite sports clothes and shoes when you jog. They make you more comfortable and more likely to run. Always jog outdoors. By changing your route, you can choose another street and you will always have something interesting to enjoy when you jog. Take along with your phone and listen to your favourite songs when you jog. The music can make you excited and run further without feeling bored. It’s always more enjoyable with a friend. Make friends while jogging. Join a running club, or invite an old friend to go jogging. It’s better to find a friend who runs a little faster and try to catch up with him or her. 15. How many ideas does the writer tell us to help make jogging fun? A. Six. B. Five. C. Four. D. Three. 16. What does the underlined word “route” mean in Chinese? A. 规律 B. 习惯 C. 伙伴 D. 路线 17. How can the music help our jogging? A. By making us only think about jogging. B. By making us excited and run further. C. It can make us run faster. D. It can be helpful to our body. 18. What can be the best title of this passage? A. Ways to Make Jogging Fun B. How to Jog with Others C. The Advantages of Jogging D. Help Your Friends Jog C Do you like living in a city? Look at the good sides. It is often easier to find work. And there is usually a choice (选择) of public transport (公共交通), so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting things to do. For example, you can eat in good restaurants, pay a visit to museums and go to the theater and concert. What’s more, when you want to relax, you can easily find a park to feed the ducks or just sit on the park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of interesting activities and you will never feel bored. However, living in a city also has bad sides. For one thing, you must work hard and try to make as much money as you can. Because it is often very expensive to live in a city. Also, public transport is usually crowded, and even the parks can become full of people on Sundays. Besides, although there are many people in the city, it is still possible to feel lonely. I think young people like city life better because they love the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise or the pollution. 19. Which word has the same meaning as “own” in Paragraph 1? A. have B. share C. catch D. plan 20. What are the good sides of living in the city? ①making as much money as you can ②eating in good restaurants ③visiting museums ④going to the concert A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 21. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Something we can do in the city. B. The bad sides of living in the city. C. The writer’s feeling about living in the city. D. The crowded public transport. 22. How does the writer make the passage clear to us? A. He writes stories. B. He gives examples. C He asks questions. D. He shows numbers. D ①”Travelling by subway (地铁) is much faster. It only takes me a few minutes to get to my office and I don’t need to worry about the traffic jam,” a passenger (乘客) says. A lot of people like taking the subway. It is a kind of popular way and it’s more convenient in our daily lives. It has three advantages. ②First, it’s fast. The subway can run about 80 kilometers per hour. It’s much faster than riding a bike or taking a bus. ③Second, it’s accurate. It can help people get somewhere on time even if it is raining or snowing. People needn’t worry about the weather. During the rush hour (交通高峰期), there is a subway every five minutes. People needn’t wait too long. ④Finally, it is comfortable. It is very comfortable for passengers to take the subway. They can find place to sit or stand. They don’t feel cold in winter or hot in summer because of the air conditioners (空调). ⑤I think most people like it. You will have a good time if you take the subway. 23. A passenger thinks travelling ________ is much faster in the passage. A. by bus B. by subway C. by bike D. on foot 24. How often does the subway come during rush hours? A. Once a day. B. Half an hour. C. Every four minutes. D. Every five minutes. 25. Which of the following is true about the subway? A. It’s a popular way in people’s daily lives. B. People often need to wait for a long time. C. It can’t arrive on time when the weather is bad. D. People need to worry about traffic jams. 26. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage?
