Unit 2 Sports and Fitness-单元提升强化练 2025-2026学年高中英语北师大版必修第一册

Unit 2　Sports and Fitness Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Years ago,I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise.I listened to it every day.I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win! I had assured my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him.Unfortunately,however,when that race came,his left leg was hurt in a car accident.Without him running with me,although I took part in that race,I didn’t do quite well in it. While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury (受伤),he never forgot the promise I made for him.He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future.So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race.What I needed was motivation (动力).It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much,saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day. What happened to my thinking was amazing as I listened to it daily.I started to think about the repeated words on the CD—“I enjoy exercise”.Instead of dreading exercise,I was thinking,“I enjoy exercise.” I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day.I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily.Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting words of the famous works.I have found the positive messages have greatly inspired me and then changed my life. How did I do in that race,you might be thinking?I actually became the champion in my age group. 1.Why did the author take part in the race by herself? A.She would like to win the race. B.She had a good talent for running. C.Her son got injured in a car accident. D.Her son was unwilling to run with her. 2.How did the author get the motivation for training? A.By recalling some inspiring stories. B.By listening to the CD while running. C.By getting timely help from her friend. D.By forcing herself into keeping running. 3.What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Fearing. B.Improving. C.Preferring. D.Taking. 4.What message does the author intend to deliver to us? A.It’s important to avoid injury while running. B.The uplifting words make a difference to us. C.Parents should get along well with children. D.We can build up our bodies by regular exercise. B People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach.But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac,which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea.Once in the sea,the person can either remain in the chair,enjoying the water,or go for a swim.The chair can be controlled from a long distance.When the person is ready to get out of the water,the Seatrac system(系统) brings the chair back to the top of the walkway. Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece.The idea for it came when one of the inventors,Fotiou,was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair.The friend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like “a bag of potatoes”.Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water.He worked with his partners to design the system,finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system. TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control.A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac.The system is solar-powered(太阳能)and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out.The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends. Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities.140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future.The new Seatrac service is being provided for free to help attract more tourists to the country.TOBEA will offer a website showing where beaches with the special service can be found.Thanks to Seatrac,more and more people who use wheelchairs will have the chance to cool down with a swim in the sea. 5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.Why Seatrac is well received. B.How Seatrac works. C.Why Seatrac needs hand control. D.How Seatrac is developed. 6.What can we know about the Seatrac system? A.It’s expensive to use. B.It can be used all year round. C.It’s environmentally friendly. D.It requires a large storage space. 7.What do the numbers in the last paragraph show? A.The new service is promising. B.The system is highly praised by the old. C.The government has made much money. D.The practice is being copied around the world. 8.What can be the best title for the text? A.Fotiou:An Inventor Helping the Disabled B.Seatrac:Helping Wheelchair Users Enjoy the Sea. C.TOBEA Is a Famous Factory Producing Wheelchairs D.Greece Has Built Moving Walkways for the Disabled C If you ask a Chinese friend,especially an elderly one,to recommend a popular form of exercise or workout,the answer will most likely be Taijiquan,commonly known as Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi in English,a special type of martial arts (Wushu). Today,there is growing evidence (证据) from around the world showing that this mind-body practice can play an important role in treating or preventing many health problems and slowing aging. In Chinese philosophy (哲学),Taiji is the final source and motive force behind all things and phenomena (现象) in the universe.It also produces the two primary elements of the universe,namely,yin and yang,and the cultural understanding of the unity of heaven and humanity. The roots of Taijiquan are also closely connected with traditional Chinese medicine.For instance,traditional Chinese medicine holds that qi,or life energy,must be able to move freely throughout the body in order to keep good health and the balance of mind and spirit.And practice of Taijiquan is believed to be one of the best means to unblock the flow of qi.This element has proved that it can benefit (使受益) people of all ages,particularly for the elderly. Studies around the world suggest that Taijiquan has a number of specific health benefits,such as reducing stress,anxiety;improving mood,increasing energy,and bettering one’s balance and quickness.Other evidence shows that the exercise may help improve the quality of sleep,lower blood pressure,improve overall well-being,and reduce risk of falls among the elderly. As a daily practice,it requires no special equipment.In aerobic (有氧的) exercise we’re taught to tense the muscle and push hard.Taijiquan is the opposite;it’s about the flow of the whole body in the movement.In order to unite human beings with the natural world,Taijiquan imitates (模仿) motions found in nature,such as movements of animals.Those movements all have very poetic names like “waving hands like clouds”. 9.What’s the purpose of practicing Taijiquan according to the text? A.To promote a typical type of martial arts. B.To apply the philosophy of yin and yang. C.To serve as a form of traditional Chinese medicine. D.To improve physical health and mental well-being. 10.What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A.Natural phenomenon. B.Taiji’s philosophical meaning. C.The construction of the universe. D.The harmony between man and nature. 11.How does Taijiquan benefit the elderly particularly? A.It removes stress and anxiety. B.It prevents blood pressure. C.It leads to a free flow of qi. D.It builds muscle strength. 12.What’s the best title for the text? A.Taijiquan:A Fitness Art B.Taijiquan:A Chinese Philosophy C.Taijiquan:A Medicine of Mind D.Taijiquan:An Ancient Practice Ⅱ.七选五 Whether you have already developed a running habit or are a beginner looking for ways to improve,there are strategies that can help you overcome running challenges and start fresh.Although these changes can feel small,over time,they will help you feel more confident in your abilities,reduce injury,and make running more interesting.　1　  Focus on building consistency(一致性) instead of speed.　2　 Constant practice gives you time to perfect your form and commit it to muscle memory.This limits your chance of injury and helps you train for longer runs in the future.  Set a comfortable pace and stick to it.Pacing yourself can be one of the biggest challenges for new runners.If you run too fast,you will feel out of breath and may not want to finish your run.　3　 This can help you warm up and figure out how much energy to put in without burning out.  　4　 Integrate other activities,like weight training,yoga or swimming,into your running routine to improve muscles,build strength,and keep you injury-free.You can introduce one to two hours of cross-training into your running volume.  Find a running friend and run with a group.A partner or a group can offer companionship and motivation to get out there and run.　5　 And you can find a running club in your area or join a weekly run at your local running store.  A.Introduce one sport. B.Instead,run slower than you need to. C.You can reach out to a runner at school. D.Keep reading to learn good tips for running. E.You can try to run alone as much as possible. F.Add cross-training to your weekly running routine. G.The key to getting better at running is to train consistently.
