When the waiter retumned to collect the man's cash payment,he was surprised to find th table empt y.The man had left without paying. Apollo was a little angry when the waiter explained what had happened.He thought of hi birth co untry,Burkina Faso,which translates as"The Land of Honest People". With each passing day,Apollo's hopes of the man retumning to pay for his meal wer dying away. A week later,a waiter gave Apollo a letter.He opened the envelope ()and there wa some m oney,f20 in notes.

The study found that people between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50%1 ess likely to develop dementia within seven years.Furthermore,people who walked with"purpose"-at a pac e over 40 steps a minute-were able to cut their risk of dementia by57%with just 6,315 steps a day."It is a brisk(walking activity,like a power walk,"said Borja Del Pozo Cruz,a researcher in health sciences for University of Cadiz in Spain. The study showed even people who walked 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk of dementia by 25%."That would be enough,at first,for inactive people,"said Cruz."In fact,it is a message that doctors could use to make very inactive older adults move-3,800 steps is very doable for many,even those that are less fit,"he added."Perhaps,more active and fitter people should aim for 10,000,where we see the greatest effects.” But there was an even more interesting result coming out of the study:The largest reduction in dement ia risk-62%-was achieved by people who walked at a very brisk speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minut es a day.Earlier research described 100 steps a minute as a"brisk"level of intensity ()In their article I s 112 the New 10,000?,Dr.Okonkwo and Dr.Planalp,two researchers in dementia,argued that 112 seemed easier to achieve than 10,000steps a day,and people looking to reduce their dementia risk focus on their wa lking speed over their walking distance. The researchers agree this is a very interesting finding,and they note that intensity of stepping matters more than how far people usually walk if they want to stay smart after agin g.Technology could be used to follow not only number of steps but also speed.These types o f numbers can also be put in common watches,but more research is needed. 27.What can we know from Cruz's study? A.100 steps a minute is a must for older people. B.Step length matters in reducing dementia risk. C.Inactive people can start with 3,800 steps a day D.Young people should aim for 10,000 steps a day. 28.Why does the writer mention the article Is 112 the New 10,000? A.To question the effect of a power walk. B.To show the benefits of purposeful walk C.To prove the importance of walking speed D.To stress the advantages of walking distance. 29.What is the best title for the passage? A.Walk Wisely and Stay Smart B.Walk Faster or Walk Forever? C.Stay Active and Walk Ahead D.Wear Counters or Watch Others? D In a recent study in the U.S.and U.K.,Van Tilburg and his team asked people through online surveys to describe the characteristics of a boring person that they knew.Being dull a nd quiet,having no interests,no opinions and lacking (a sense of humor are often men tioned. The researchers then followed up with additional surveys.The results clearly suggest that being considered boring is a negative (personality characteristic,and is often tied to introversion(内向). So why are introverts sometimes seen as boring?Maybe because quiet people value their privacy and avoid sharing their everyday life.Their behavior is the opposite of the preferenc e in a culture towards extroversion ()This preference leads to a fixed idea that quiet"me ans"boring",and it reflects a push toward uncontrolled extroversion-just think about people c razily posting nearly everything on social media of their life and activities to attract attention. Another research argued that it might be problematic to overvalue extroversion as more s ocially preferred than introversion.This wrong idea might start from teenage years when we t hink having the most friends and being the best-liked means being popular.This type of ever yone-agreed popularity may make quiet people see their lack of extroversion as a deficit,ther efore they are less confident in many situations than extroverts. In fact,introverts tend to have the“quiet ego(自我)'，which allows them to have the abi lity to put themselves in other people's shoes and understand situations from a bigger picture. According to researchers Bauer and Wayment,the quiet ego is a way of explaining the self t hat goes beyond being self-centered"by considering both self and others.The quiet ego 初三英语试卷第5页（共8页） helps introverts to balance self-focused values,like power and achievement,and other-focused values,such as ki ndness and care for others.Balancing both values can lead to psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Considering an introvert to be someone with negative characteristics is false and harmful because introversi on can carry many positive influences.In fact,an introverted style can be a strength.This is because introverts are likely to be truer to themselves than extroverts Moreover,accepting their introversion as a benefit would in t urn improve their sense of happiness.There can be a joy to being"boring"that can go along with a quiet,introv erted personality. 30.Introverted people are often seen as boring because A.they have no interest in pleasing others B.they refuse to express their ideas in public C.their sense of humor is often difficult to get D.their behavior goes against cultural preference 31.The word'deficit"in Paragraph 4 probably means" 33 A.character B.weakness C.symbol D.talent 32.The writer would probably agree that A.extroversion is more socially beneficial B.introversion usually leads to unhappiness C.being extroverted makes people truer to themselves D.introverted people are likely to get life satisfaction 33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To correct a false idea about introversion. B.To discuss different causes of introversion. C.To explain why introverted people are quieter. D.To compare introversion and extroversion. 四、阅读表达（第34至36题每小题2分，第37题4分，共10分） Studies have shown that when students join in team sports,their educational experience is greatly improved. In fact,whether they are good at sports or not,there are still benefits to be got from playing team sports!Her e are four lessons team sports can teach students. At some point in life,everyone goes through challenges.People may think that the choices they make onl y affect themselves,but as it turns out,that simply isn't true!Team sports teach students about friendship and a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves.When they play sports on a team,they quickly learn th at every choice they make has an influence on their teammates and their opponents () Making choices can often be difficult for many people because they often over-.complicate(过度复杂化)ve ry simple decisions.Playing team sports gets students to reason and come to a decision faster than they might i n their day-to-day life.And then,making quick decisions can help students develop a sense of self-confidence. It's always exciting to win in life,but sometimes the greater lessons come from losses in team sports games.To deal with those losses,students should accept them peacefully,move on and try agai n!Team sports teach students that great comebacks do happen and a loss is never final if they refuse to gi ve up! Perhaps the most important lesson that team sports can teach students is how to put others first in diffi cult situations.Sometimes,they may have to be ready for being second-best for the greater good,because t here is often more at play than they can see at first.Sometimes the most pleasing choice students can make is the one to help others even when it is inconvenient Learning self-sacrifice is a lesson that st udents will certainly carry throughout the course of their life! Students don't have to be athletic to succeed at sports,and there are countless benefits of team sports f or them. 34.When will the students'educational experience be greatly improved? 35.Why do many people find it difficult to make choices? 36.How should students deal with losses in team sports games? 37.Would you like to join in a team sport?Why or why not?(At least two reasons) 五、文段表达(10分) 38.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文 中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。不要写出你的真实校名和姓名。 题目① 中国有着五千年的悠久历史和丰富的传统文化遗产。假设你是李华，你校将为来访的外国学生举行 “探寻中华文化(Exploring Chinese Culture)”的交流活动。请你用英文写一篇演讲稿，向外国学生推 荐你认为最有中国特色的一个传统节日、一处名胜、一项手工艺或一种风俗等，对其做简要介绍，并说明 推荐理由。 提示词语：paper cutting,dragon boat race,dumplings,traditional,attract,.symbol 提示问题： ● What do you want to recommend(推荐)？Please describe it. ● Why do you recommend it?
