It is a kind of running. Jogging means running slowly, but it is still faster than walking. In the mornings and evenings, you can see people jogging in parks or along city streets. One of the reasons is that jogging is an excellent way of exercise. It helps people lose weight and keep them active. More importantly, jogging is suitable for everyone, no matter how fit you are. For most people, jogging is helpful. It can make their hearts work better. Scientists think that jogging can reduce the risk of heart problems. For beginners, jogging is a good start. Because the exercise is not very difficult, beginners can easily give it a try. Another reason is that jogging is cheaper than many sports—to start, just get some comfortable sports clothes and good running shoes. Although jogging is good, overdoing it is harmful to the body. It’s not a good idea to jog every day. The body needs time to get better from exercise. If you keep training for years and you are quite fit, it’s okay to jog five or six times a week.

Because the exercise is not very difficult, beginners can easily give it a try.”可知，慢跑适合每个人，无论你身体状况如何，对于初学者来说，慢跑是一个好的开始，因为这项运动不是很难，初学者可以很容易地尝试，由此可推测出“suitable”意思是“合适的，适合的”，与“Fit”意思相近。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Although jogging is good, overdoing it is harmful to the body. It’s not a good idea to jog every day. The body needs time to get better from exercise.”可知，虽然慢跑很好，但过度慢跑对身体有害，每天慢跑不是一个好主意，身体需要时间从运动中恢复，由此可推测出，此处应该是建议每周至少休息一天。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“For most people, jogging is helpful. It can make their hearts work better. Scientists think that jogging can reduce the risk of heart problems. For beginners, jogging is a good start. Because the exercise is not very difficult, beginners can easily give it a try.”以及“Although jogging is good, overdoing it is harmful to the body. It’s not a good idea to jog every day.

Then maybe you have the so-called autumn sadness. In worse cases, some may have Seasonal Affective Disorder (季节性情感障碍), or SAD． ②SAD is a type of depression (沮丧). It mostly starts in the late autumn or early winter and goes away in the spring and summer. People who have SAD oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once liked. They also feel sad and even desperate (绝望的). ③The reason for SAD is not clear enough at present. Johns Hopkins University said that the lack of natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt (打乱) the body clock and the making of hormones (激素). This disruption can lead to depression. ④People with SAD often need medical help. Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way to treat it. Doctors advise patients to get as much sunlight as possible. Light therapy helps to balance hormones and get a patient’s life back on track. ⑤Also, living a healthy life, like sleeping early, exercising often, and eating well, can help people deal with SAD．According to the National Institute of Mental Health of the USA, in most cases (情况), SAD begins in young adulthood (青年时期).

What about you? What will happen to you if water takes the place of all drinks? Chris Bailey, a popular blogger (博客作者), tried this out. Here is what he has found. First, you lose weight (体重) faster. Yeah, you do! You don’t have to exercise but just keep away from drinks for 9 days. It is the same as running for 8 kilometers a day! So write down your resolution on a piece of paper and put it on the wall. And you will see the result soon. Sometimes when you have to stay up late for a test, a cup of tea or coffee is usually by your side on the desk. But do you know 75 to 85 percent of your brain (大脑) is water? Nothing else! Just by drinking water, your brain can work efficiently. You may remember things quickly  and well. What’s more, water washes out something bad in your body. So drinking enough water can stop you from getting old soon. If you want to look young and beautiful as long as possible, drink a glass of water right now! Keep on doing it for longer, and you will be surprised to touch your soft and clean skin (皮肤). Lastly, you save money! How much money do you spend on coffee and juice every week? The price of water is much lower than that of other drinks. Drink 5 glasses of water every day or spend money visiting doctors. Think about it! So, what are you waiting for? Enjoy drinking water from now on! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By describing an experience. B．By asking a question. C．By explaining reasons.

What about you?”可知，作者以一个问题开篇。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“So write down your resolution on a piece of paper and put it on the wall.”及本段主要围绕“戒掉饮料可帮助减肥”展开，可推知纸上应写“多喝水”或“戒饮料”相关内容。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Just by drinking water, your brain can work efficiently. You may remember things quickly and well.”可知，通过喝水，你可以记得更快更好，“quickly and well”即对“efficiently”的解释，所以efficiently意为“高效地”。故选C。 4． 细节理解题。根据第三段“But do you know 75 to 85 percent of your brain (大脑) is water?”可知，水占大脑的75%-85%，所以A错误。根据第四段“Keep on doing it for longer, and you will be surprised to touch your soft and clean skin (皮肤).”可知，坚持长期喝水，皮肤细腻干净，所以B错误。根据第五段“The price of water is much lower than that of other drinks.”可知，水的价格要低于饮料价格，所以C错误。根据第二段“You don’t have to exercise but just keep away from drinks for 9 days.

The program, called Riding for Focus (R4F), was organized by a nonprofit organization (非营利组织). Coaches (教练) spent six to eight weeks, at least three days a week, teaching middle school students’ cycling skills and riding outdoors with them. R4F hopes to improve the students’ mental health and make them much happier. For this study, Loma Linda University (洛马林达大学) asked students to do surveys (调查) before and after the program to compare (比较) their mental conditions. More than 800 students, from age 11 to 14 and from 20 different schools, joined in the surveys. The study found that there was a general growth in students’ happiness after the cycling program. “We saw that there were mental health advantages among the students,” Sean Wilson, a writer of the study, said in an interview. “Before the program, most students were sluggish. After it, more students were active and had a positive attitude towards life.” “Middle school is an important time for young people to pay attention to mental health because many of them start to experience stress from school and society,” said Esther Walker, a program manager of the organization. Other research shows that one in five children has a mental illness. “The bike ride can be helpful for students to relax,” Walker said. 1．What can we know about R4F? A．It could last six to eight weeks. B．It was organized by a university. C．It was for primary school students. D．It allowed students to ride indoors. 2．Why did the students have to do the before-and-after surveys? A．To record their hobbies. B．To record their physical condition. C．To compare the change in their studies. D．To compare their change in mental health. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The plans are about riding bikes. B．The advice about riding bikes. C．The results of the cycling program. D．The ideas about the cycling program. 4．What does the underlined word “sluggish” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Moving quickly. B．Moving slowly. C．Laughing happily. D．Talking loudly. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．To introduce the nonprofit organization. B．To discuss the middle school students’ stress. C．The program can improve students’ mental health. D．The program can improve adults’ mental health. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项来自加利福尼亚州一所医科大学的新研究，该研究表明一项名为“Riding for Focus (R4F)”的骑行项目能够帮助中学生改善心理健康，提升幸福感。 1．细节理解题。根据“Coaches (教练) spent six to eight weeks, at least three days a week…”可知，教练们花了六到八周的时间进行该项目，说明该项目持续六到八周。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“asked students to do surveys (调查) before and after the program to compare (比较) their mental conditions”可知，进行前后调查的目的是为了比较学生的心理状况。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据“The study found that there was a general growth in students’ happiness after the cycling program. ‘We saw that there were mental health advantages among the students…’”可知，本段主要讲述了骑行项目的研究结果。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“Before the program, most students were sluggish. After it, more students were active and had a positive attitude towards life.”可知，此处将项目前后的状态进行对比，项目后变得“活跃”，因此项目前的状态应与“活跃”相反，sluggish意为“行动迟缓的；懒散的”，与选项B意思相近。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文并根据“A bike-riding program for middle school students can help improve their mental (心理的) health, according to a new study from a university of medicine in California.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项针对中学生的骑行项目，研究表明该项目能有效改善学生的心理健康，缓解压力并提升幸福感。故选C。 ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 The Rise of “Plant-Based Diet” Among Teenagers In recent years, more and more teenagers around the world have started adopting a plant-based diet. This diet mainly consists of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes or minimizes the consumption of animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs. The trend has been driven by various factors, including health concerns, environmental awareness and animal welfare. One of the main reasons teenagers choose a plant-based diet is health. Many studies have shown that a well-planned plant-based diet can provide all the necessary nutrients and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. “I started eating plant-based foods because I wanted to stay healthy and have more energy for sports,” said a 16-year-old athlete. “After changing my diet, I feel more energetic and my performance has improved.” Environmental protection is another important factor. The production of animal products requires a large amount of water, land and energy, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing a plant-based diet, teenagers can reduce their carbon footprint. “I learned that animal agriculture is one of the biggest causes of climate change. Switching to a plant-based diet is my way to protect the planet,” said a 17-year-old student. However, adopting a plant-based diet also has some challenges. It requires careful planning to ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein, iron and vitamin B12, which are mainly found in animal products. Some teenagers may face pressure from family and friends who don’t understand their diet choice. To address these issues, many schools and communities have started offering plant-based meal options and organizing educational activities to promote awareness about plant-based nutrition. 1．What is a plant-based diet? A．A diet that only includes meat and dairy products. B．A diet mainly consisting of plant-based foods and excluding or minimizing animal products. C．A diet that focuses on fast food and processed snacks. D．A diet that requires eating a lot of sugar and oil. 2．Why do teenagers choose a plant-based diet? A．To increase the risk of chronic diseases. B．To contribute to environmental pollution. C．For health concerns, environmental awareness and animal welfare. D．To consume more animal products. 3．What challenges may teenagers face when adopting a plant-based diet? A．Difficulty in getting enough nutrients like protein and iron. B．Too many plant-based food options to choose from. C．Pressure from family and friends who support their diet. D．Easy access to plant-based meals in schools and communities. 4．How do schools and communities support teenagers’ plant-based diet? A．By banning plant-based meals in cafeterias. B．By organizing activities to promote awareness about plant-based nutrition. C．By discouraging students from choosing a plant-based diet. D．By providing only animal products for meals. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物性饮食在青少年中日益流行的趋势，探讨了其流行的原因（健康、环保等），同时也指出了面临的挑战以及社会各界的支持措施。 1．细节理解题。根据“This diet mainly consists of fruits, vegetables...and excludes or minimizes the consumption of animal products”可知，植物性饮食主要由植物性食物组成，排除或尽量减少动物产品的消费。故选B。 2．细节理解题。“The trend has been driven by various factors, including health concerns, environmental awareness and animal welfare.”可知，青少年选择这种饮食的原因包括健康问题、环境意识和动物福利。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“It requires careful planning to ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein, iron and vitamin B12”可知，青少年在采取这种饮食时面临的挑战之一是难以获得足够的营养素，如蛋白质、铁等。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“many schools and communities have started...organizing educational activities to promote awareness about plant-based nutrition.”可知，学校和社区通过组织教育活动来推广植物性营养知识，以支持青少年的饮食选择。故选B。 Life has its ups and downs and people sometimes feel anxious (焦虑的). If the feelings of anxiety become too strong, they can make you unwell. Usually, we might see a doctor or take some medicine to feel better. But it would be helpful to have something to use at home that does not involve (涉及) medicine. So, we made a robotic cushion (抱枕) to help manage anxiety. Our team was made up of scientists from several fields. We built a few different robotic cushions, and each one offered a different calming experience, like the feeling of breathing, a heartbeat, and one of them even had colourful lights inside. We asked people to try them out and tell us which they liked the best. Most people liked the cushion that felt like it was breathing. So, we decided to work more on that one. For our final cushion, we made it bigger so it was easier to hug. We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the “breathing”. We did this because slow breathing helps people feel calmer. Now, we wanted to see if our cushion really could help with anxiety, so we did a test. The test had to do three things: make people feel anxious, check their anxiety levels, and compare the effect of the cushion to something else. We made people feel anxious by having them do some difficult math problems in front of others. Afterwards, we asked them to score their anxiety levels from one to ten. To see how well the cushion worked, we put people into three groups. Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety. After 10 minutes, we asked them to score their anxiety levels again. We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly. And we saw that meditation also helped people reduce their anxiety. Meditation can be difficult because it needs attention and practice, but hugging a cushion is easy! And, you could hug the cushion while doing other things. By doing more research like this, we can find ways to help people who need different ways to feel better. What do you think? Would you like to have a breathing cushion to hug when you’re worried? 1．What is the final cushion like? A．It uses air to make the sound of a heartbeat. B．It has a robotic part to make it “breathe”. C．It comes in all shapes and sizes. D．It has colourful lights inside. 2．What do we know about the test from Paragraphs 5 and 6? A．People in different groups liked different kinds of cushions. B．The researchers had people use the cushion during a meditation. C．The result showed the cushion helped people solve math problems. D．The test compared the effects of hugging the cushion and sitting quietly. 3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To show how to use a robotic cushion. B．To introduce a product that helps with anxiety. C．To warn people about the dangers of being worried. D．To compare ways of helping people feel less anxious. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了一种通过模拟呼吸的机器人抱枕，帮助人们缓解焦虑情绪的创新方法及其测试效果。 1．细节理解题。根据“We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the ‘breathing’. ”可知，制作了一个机器部件，可以推动抱枕内的气球进出空气，以控制“呼吸”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety.”可知，把人分成三组，A组用呼吸抱枕，B组冥想，C组只是安静坐着，然后比较效果；再根据“We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly.”可知，抱呼吸抱枕的人焦虑比只是安静坐着的人少很多，所以测试比较了抱抱枕和安静坐着的效果。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了为帮助缓解焦虑而制作的机器人抱枕，包括其研发、测试等内容，目的是介绍这个帮助缓解焦虑的产品。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Stay Healthy 单元话题阅读理解练习 单元话题：健康生活 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 Eat Well, Live Well We eat food so that we have energy to run, jump and play.

In worse cases, some may have Seasonal Affective Disorder (季节性情感障碍), or SAD． ②SAD is a type of depression (沮丧). It mostly starts in the late autumn or early winter and goes away in the spring and summer. People who have SAD oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once liked. They also feel sad and even desperate (绝望的). ③The reason for SAD is not clear enough at present. Johns Hopkins University said that the lack of natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt (打乱) the body clock and the making of hormones (激素). This disruption can lead to depression. ④People with SAD often need medical help. Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way to treat it.

The program, called Riding for Focus (R4F), was organized by a nonprofit organization (非营利组织). Coaches (教练) spent six to eight weeks, at least three days a week, teaching middle school students’ cycling skills and riding outdoors with them. R4F hopes to improve the students’ mental health and make them much happier. For this study, Loma Linda University (洛马林达大学) asked students to do surveys (调查) before and after the program to compare (比较) their mental conditions. More than 800 students, from age 11 to 14 and from 20 different schools, joined in the surveys. The study found that there was a general growth in students’ happiness after the cycling program. “We saw that there were mental health advantages among the students,” Sean Wilson, a writer of the study, said in an interview. “Before the program, most students were sluggish. After it, more students were active and had a positive attitude towards life.” “Middle school is an important time for young people to pay attention to mental health because many of them start to experience stress from school and society,” said Esther Walker, a program manager of the organization. Other research shows that one in five children has a mental illness. “The bike ride can be helpful for students to relax,” Walker said. 1．What can we know about R4F?

This diet mainly consists of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes or minimizes the consumption of animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs. The trend has been driven by various factors, including health concerns, environmental awareness and animal welfare. One of the main reasons teenagers choose a plant-based diet is health. Many studies have shown that a well-planned plant-based diet can provide all the necessary nutrients and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. “I started eating plant-based foods because I wanted to stay healthy and have more energy for sports,” said a 16-year-old athlete. “After changing my diet, I feel more energetic and my performance has improved.” Environmental protection is another important factor. The production of animal products requires a large amount of water, land and energy, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing a plant-based diet, teenagers can reduce their carbon footprint. “I learned that animal agriculture is one of the biggest causes of climate change. Switching to a plant-based diet is my way to protect the planet,” said a 17-year-old student. However, adopting a plant-based diet also has some challenges. It requires careful planning to ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein, iron and vitamin B12, which are mainly found in animal products. Some teenagers may face pressure from family and friends who don’t understand their diet choice. To address these issues, many schools and communities have started offering plant-based meal options and organizing educational activities to promote awareness about plant-based nutrition. 1．What is a plant-based diet? A．A diet that only includes meat and dairy products. B．A diet mainly consisting of plant-based foods and excluding or minimizing animal products. C．A diet that focuses on fast food and processed snacks. D．A diet that requires eating a lot of sugar and oil. 2．Why do teenagers choose a plant-based diet? A．To increase the risk of chronic diseases. B．To contribute to environmental pollution. C．For health concerns, environmental awareness and animal welfare. D．To consume more animal products. 3．What challenges may teenagers face when adopting a plant-based diet? A．Difficulty in getting enough nutrients like protein and iron. B．Too many plant-based food options to choose from. C．Pressure from family and friends who support their diet. D．Easy access to plant-based meals in schools and communities. 4．How do schools and communities support teenagers’ plant-based diet? A．By banning plant-based meals in cafeterias. B．By organizing activities to promote awareness about plant-based nutrition. C．By discouraging students from choosing a plant-based diet. D．By providing only animal products for meals. Life has its ups and downs and people sometimes feel anxious (焦虑的). If the feelings of anxiety become too strong, they can make you unwell. Usually, we might see a doctor or take some medicine to feel better. But it would be helpful to have something to use at home that does not involve (涉及) medicine. So, we made a robotic cushion (抱枕) to help manage anxiety. Our team was made up of scientists from several fields. We built a few different robotic cushions, and each one offered a different calming experience, like the feeling of breathing, a heartbeat, and one of them even had colourful lights inside. We asked people to try them out and tell us which they liked the best. Most people liked the cushion that felt like it was breathing. So, we decided to work more on that one. For our final cushion, we made it bigger so it was easier to hug. We made a robotic part that could push air in and out of a balloon inside the cushion, to control the “breathing”. We did this because slow breathing helps people feel calmer. Now, we wanted to see if our cushion really could help with anxiety, so we did a test. The test had to do three things: make people feel anxious, check their anxiety levels, and compare the effect of the cushion to something else. We made people feel anxious by having them do some difficult math problems in front of others. Afterwards, we asked them to score their anxiety levels from one to ten. To see how well the cushion worked, we put people into three groups. Group A used the breathing cushion, Group B tried meditating (冥想), and Group C just sat quietly without anything to help with their anxiety. After 10 minutes, we asked them to score their anxiety levels again. We found that people who hugged the breathing cushion had much less anxiety than those who just sat quietly. And we saw that meditation also helped people reduce their anxiety. Meditation can be difficult because it needs attention and practice, but hugging a cushion is easy! And, you could hug the cushion while doing other things. By doing more research like this, we can find ways to help people who need different ways to feel better. What do you think? Would you like to have a breathing cushion to hug when you’re worried? 1．What is the final cushion like? A．It uses air to make the sound of a heartbeat. B．It has a robotic part to make it “breathe”. C．It comes in all shapes and sizes. D．It has colourful lights inside. 2．What do we know about the test from Paragraphs 5 and 6? A．People in different groups liked different kinds of cushions. B．The researchers had people use the cushion during a meditation. C．The result showed the cushion helped people solve math problems. D．The test compared the effects of hugging the cushion and sitting quietly. 3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To show how to use a robotic cushion.
