When I was young, I had no idea what I wanted to do. The choices were thin. It was assumed (假定的) that I’d go to college, and after that , I could be a mom. I could, be a secretary. I could be a nurse or a teacher. If anyone asked, I said I wanted to be a writer. Even I knew that wasn’t a real job. Mostly, I didn’t think about it.
But just as I was coming of age, a world of possibility opened up. By the time I graduated from college with a science degree, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do. And one day, after seeing a notice in the paper, I remembered there was something I’d wanted to do once. It sounded fun, so I took the test to be a mail carrier. The new Postal Service was by law an inclusive group. If you got a good enough score, you were in.
It was an older woman conducting (执行) my fitness entry exam who was the first to disagree. This wasn’t a job for a girl, she said. And I shouldn’t take a man’s job away from him. He has a family to support. Despite that poor assumed man’s family, I became one of perhaps a dozen female carriers in the whole city of Portland, Oregon.
On the street, I was a novelty (新奇的人). I didn’t go a single day without hearing some friendly words: Well, I guess we can’t call you the mailman, can we? We’ll have to call you the mail-woman! Those particular words somehow appeared naturally in thousands of minds at once. My existence received attention. It’s hard to imagine now.
Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world. Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier. And finally, I get to be a writer. It’s still not really a job.
4 What can we know about the author when she was young?
A. She studied hard to be a writer.
B. She never wanted to go to college.
C. She knew little about what a real job was.
D. She had no plan for her future.
5. Why did the author want to be a mail carrier?
A. She thought it interesting to be a mail carrier.
B. She got a high score in the test to be a mail carrier.
C. She was bored with studying for a science degree.
D. She could do nothing else after her graduation.
6. What was the older woman’s attitude to the author’s decision?
A. Careless. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Supportive.
7. What was the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To share the story of her career options.
B. To show the fun of being a mail carrier.
C. To express her regret about her job choice.
D. To stress the importance of a career plan.
C
To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30,000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave way to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States.” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
8. What did the two brothers collect money for?
A. Helping to end the lockdown.
B. Completing their five-month walk.
C. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
D. Setting up some charities.
9. Which word can best describe the two brothers?
A. Caring. B. Curious. C. Honest. D. Humorous.
10. What happened to the brothers in Utah?
A. They were interviewed. B. They visited a naturalist. C. They were lost in the path. D. They met with a bear.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Walk with Love B. A Proud Mother
C. Adventure with Fun D. A Long Journey
D
A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.
“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”
The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.
“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.
“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time — it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.
He continues, “Sleep — which provides your body the necessary time to recover (恢复) and make gains from exercise — should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”
12 What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study?
A. A good mood. B. A lower blood pressure.
C. A smaller risk of heart disease. D. A fat loss.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?
A Tell the difference. B. Do an experiment.
C. Explain a term. D. Give an example.
14. What does Heisz think is important to achieve good results of exercise?
A. Low-fat food. B. Plenty of water.
C. Lots of exercise. D. Enough sleep.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Fitness Plan Being Important
B. How to Change Your Exercise Time
C. The Best Time of a Day to Exercise
D. A Night Owl or An Early Bird

One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.
注意:

On the street, I was a novelty (新奇的人). I didn’t go a single day without hearing some friendly words: Well, I guess we can’t call you the mailman, can we? We’ll have to call you the mail-woman! Those particular words somehow appeared naturally in thousands of minds at once. My existence received attention. It’s hard to imagine now.
Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world. Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier. And finally, I get to be a writer. It’s still not really a job.
4. What can we know about the author when she was young?
A. She studied hard to be a writer.
B. She never wanted to go to college.

5. Why did the author want to be a mail carrier?
A. She thought it interesting to be a mail carrier.
B. She got a high score in the test to be a mail carrier.

6. What was the older woman’s attitude to the author’s decision?

To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30,000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave way to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States.” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
8. What did the two brothers collect money for?
A. Helping to end the lockdown.
B. Completing their five-month walk.
C. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
D. Setting up some charities.
9. Which word can best describe the two brothers?
A. Caring. B. Curious. C. Honest. D. Humorous.
10. What happened to the brothers in Utah?
A. They were interviewed. B. They visited a naturalist. C. They were lost in the path. D. They met with a bear.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Walk with Love B. A Proud Mother
C. Adventure with Fun D. A Long Journey
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述Aiden和Louis Ardine兄弟俩为了帮助饭店员工们度过疫情,步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.(为了给疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们筹钱,Aiden和Louis Ardine兄弟俩决定步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱)”可知,兄弟俩筹钱的目的是要帮助疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.(为了给疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们筹钱,Aiden和Louis Ardine兄弟俩决定步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱)”可知,兄弟俩步行3200英里走遍美国为帮助疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们筹钱来度过疫情,所以他们俩是很有爱心的。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.(在犹他州,他们与一头黑熊进行了自然学家约翰·缪尔所说的“不期而遇”,当他们在小路的拐角处转弯时,发现自己离黑熊只有几英尺远)”可知,兄弟俩在犹他州见到了一头黑熊。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.(为了给疫情期间不得不待在家里的饭店员工们筹钱,Aiden和Louis Ardine兄弟俩决定步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱)”和第三段中“This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.(这无疑是一次充满希望的冒险,它证明了人们天生善良,愿意帮助邻居)”可知,这篇文章主要讲述兄弟俩为了帮助饭店员工们度过疫情,步行3200英里走遍美国为他们筹钱的故事。所以A选项“充满爱的步行旅途”适合作为标题。

A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.
“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”
The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.
“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.
“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time — it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.
He continues, “Sleep — which provides your body the necessary time to recover (恢复) and make gains from exercise — should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”
12. What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study?
A. A good mood. B. A lower blood pressure.
C. A smaller risk of heart disease. D. A fat loss.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?
A. Tell the difference. B. Do an experiment.
C. Explain a term. D. Give an example.
14. What does Heisz think is important to achieve good results of exercise?
A. Low-fat food. B. Plenty of water.
C. Lots of exercise. D. Enough sleep.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Fitness Plan Being Important
B. How to Change Your Exercise Time
C. The Best Time of a Day to Exercise
D. A Night Owl or An Early Bird
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了一项关于早晚锻炼对女性和男性不同的受益,研究表明对于男性和女性根据需求不同最佳锻炼时间不同。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise.(那些希望增加上身肌肉或改善情绪的女性应该考虑晚上锻炼)”可知,根据这项研究,女性可以通过晚上锻炼改善情绪,变得情绪好。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段内容““Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.(“生物钟是你身体在特定时间睡觉的自然习惯,它决定了你是夜猫子还是早起鸟。对于25%认为自己是夜猫子的人来说,获得足够的睡眠和足够的锻炼是很困难的,”海兹补充道)”可知,在本段作者解释了一个术语——生物钟。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.(说到运动,不管研究表明在一天中的特定时间进行某些运动有什么好处,如果没有足够的睡眠时间,你的结果都不会好)”可知,海兹认为要达到良好的运动效果,足够的睡眠是重要的。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. (斯基德莫尔学院的一项小型研究调查了早晚锻炼对女性和男性的好处)”和第三段的“The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.(研究表明,对于想要降低血压、心脏病风险或减少脂肪的女性来说,晨练效果最好。那些希望增加上身肌肉或改善情绪的女性应该考虑晚上锻炼。对于男性来说,研究结果有些不同:晚上锻炼可以降低血压、患心脏病的风险和疲劳感。但与女性相似的是,他们通过晨练燃烧更多的脂肪)”可知,本文讲述了一项关于早晚锻炼对女性和男性不同的受益,研究表明对于男性和女性根据需求不同最佳锻炼时间不同。因此推断D项“一天中锻炼的最佳时间”为最佳标题。

One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.

【答案】One possible version:
I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk? Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn’t hold my tears. “It just came back by itself,” my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,” my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开。一个星期六的早上,因为怕冷,作者没有出去遛狗,而是让狗自己出去了,然后导致自家的狗走丢了。所以,作者和妹妹带上妈妈做的牌子到街上去找他家的狗,费了很大周折,作者也没能找到他家的狗。当作者伤心的回家后,却发现狗自己回来了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我把妹妹带回家,然后独自继续寻找。”可知,第一段可描写作者独自寻找他家的狗的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“当我回来的时候,我的母亲正在等我,笑容灿烂。”可知,第二段可描写走丢的狗回来了,它是如何回来的,以及作者一家人高兴的心情。
