Section Ⅴ　“Extended reading”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A No history of Wushu in the West African state of Liberia would be complete without mentioning one man.He has devoted his life to Chinese martial arts.As a martial arts lover, Pewee Russian was determined to change his country's perception of Chinese martial arts, seen by many as a violent foreign culture. Against all difficulties, Russian devoted his life to learning Wushu and by the late 1990s he was becoming an expert.At that time, fewer than five people in the entire country were taking an interest in Wushu, he says.As a boy, Russian lived with his foster parents, who attempted to distract him from martial arts.He found it “tiring and challenging” to keep his mind on Wushu.They told him that learning martial arts was a dead end, but nevertheless he persisted. When civil war began ravaging the country at the end of 1990, it proved a setback for his Wushu studies.When the war was over, after more than 15 years, Wushu was almost extinct.However, Russian still carried the passion in his heart. “One of the things that really drew me closer to Chinese martial arts is the discipline, the culture — it makes your mind disciplined.I think Wushu is my calling，” he says. In 2010, the Chinese embassy in Monrovia awarded him a short-term study course at the Shaolin Temple.When he returned to his country in 2011，Russian led efforts to establish the Liberia National Wushu Association.He won an international medal on behalf of his country in 2016 at the Zhengzhou International Shaolin Wushu Festival.Since then, as a master, he has been inspiring others to share his enthusiasm.Russian is now the face of martial arts in Liberia. However, Russian still regrets failing to attend the Beijing Olympics in 2008.He was the third best martial artist on the African continent that year but lack of finance kept him away from the Games. To make up for this lost opportunity, he is working diligently to train the next generation of champions, ensuring that he keeps the spirit of Wushu alive in the country. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个武术爱好者Russian，包括他对中国武术的热爱，他学习武术遇到的重重困难和阻力及其获奖的经历，以及他在自己国家创办武术联盟的经历。 1．What do we know about Pewee Russian？ A．He got a medal in the Beijing Olympics.

B．Wushu almost disappeared in Africa. C．He lacked money for his Wushu studies. D．His country started a war against another country. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Russian和他的养父母住在一起，他们试图分散他对武术的注意力。他们告诉他学武术是没有前途的。由此可推知，他的养父母并不支持他学习武术。 3．Which of the following can best describe Pewee Russian？ A．Crazy and reliable. B．Generous and hard-working. C．Persistent and considerate. D．Passionate and determined. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Russian对于武术有着强烈的热情；根据最后一段内容可知，Russian在自己国家发扬武术精神的决心非常大。 4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？ A．To spread Chinese culture.

As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen.Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力)．However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk.It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy.I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake. I have also made many friends during my walks.It's not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come. I'll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me.I really didn't know what to say, so I just replied that I didn't mind.I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers.There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了散步是最好的运动形式，它有利于身体健康，也有助于人们的社会交往。 5．Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning？ A．He wanted to build up his strength. B．He enjoyed walking. C．He had no car. D．He wished to make friends. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car”可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。 6．What does the underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph probably mean？ A．Jump lightly.　　　　　 B．Give up. C．Leave alone. D．Change quickly. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后半部分讲那些商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步可知，此处指作者哪怕有一天没去散步，由此可知，画线词意为“不参加，不做”，与B项词义相近。 7．Why does the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs？ A．To share the unforgettable experience with us. B．To show us the meaning of walking in social contact. C．To tell us how to develop the habit of walking. D．To explain to us why a usual walk takes him as long as 2 or 3 hours. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据文章最后两段内容可知，作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，由此可推知，作者是想告诉我们散步在社交方面的意义。 8．What's the main idea of the text？ A．Walking does us good. B．Walking improves health. C．Walking helps to communicate. D．Cycling differs from walking. 解析：选A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，散步既有利于我们的身体健康，也有助于我们与别人交往，B项和C项只涉及了其中一方面的内容，D项不符合文章大意，本文并不以比较骑车与散步的不同为主。故A项符合本文主旨。 C No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up. But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives. New research found that middle-aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger-than-expected age than those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day.The study, which involved 2,110 middle-aged adults who wore a step-counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect their_mortality_risk. Rather, those who walked more lived longer. The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day — the number often cited as a daily goal for health — produced no further drop in mortality risk. Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep.It is considered good for your bones, muscles, heart and brain.Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine.For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了步行的好处。 9．In which column of a newspaper can we find this text？ A．Style.　　　　　　 B．Opinion. C．Sports. D．Health and Science. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段“No matter how ...their lives.”并结合全文可知，本文主要探讨与健康有关的话题。故本文可能选自报纸的“健康与科学”栏目。 10．What does the underlined part “their mortality risk” in paragraph 2 refer to？ A．What health benefits they got. B．Whether physical activities worked for them. C．How long they could live. D．Their risk of dying. 解析：选D　根据画线词后的“Rather, those who walked more lived longer.”可知，走得快并不能影响他们的“mortality”风险，而走得多的人才能活得更久，所以“their mortality risk”与“lived longer”的意思相对，指的是他们的死亡风险。 11．What can we learn from the text？ A．The research spanned through the whole life of 2,110 middle-aged adults. B．Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken. C．Walking more than 10,000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000. D．National guidelines offer the adults the recommendation on number of steps. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，每天步行超过1万步与每天步行7 000步所带来的益处相似。 12．Which of the following is the best title for this text？ A．How to Extend Your Lifespan B．7,000 Steps Lengthen Your Life C．Benefits of Physical Activities D．Walking and Its Restrictions 解析：选B　标题归纳题。根据各段段首句可知，本文主要介绍了步行的好处，以及每天走7 000步有助于延年益寿。故B项适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner.They laugh and chat together as their running shoes rhythmically touch the pavement.__13__.Joining such a group club is great for runners.Here are some reasons to inspire you to become a member of it.
