A beginner’s guide to exercise
You want to start doing exercise? Congratulations! You have just taken your first step towards a new and improved you!
Understanding the benefits of exercise
Most people assume that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind-but what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term. It has also been proven that active people tend to have better immune systems and are at lower risk of diseases. Moreover,exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over negative feelings. Some studies even show that exercise improves certain brain functions, meaning you could actually exercise your way to better performance at school!
Planning your exercise routine
When you plan an exercise routine, the first thing to consider is what you expect to improve: heart and lung efficiency, muscle strength or flexibility. Aerobic activities, like jogging, swimming and skiing, develop your heart and lungs. Strength training, such as pull-ups and weightlifting, increases muscle strength and encourages bone development. Flexibility training, including gymnastics and tai chi, helps stretch your muscles and improve your body's range of movement. These types of exercise all play a role in a healthy routine. Above all, choose activities you enjoy because, in this way, you're more likely to stick with them.
Eating and drinking right
Like cars that run on petrol, your body burns carbohydrates for energy. Foods like noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables give your body plenty of carbohydrates to keep up your energy during a long workout. To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise, you need to eat foods rich in protein, such as fish, eggs and milk products. When to eat is also of great importance. In general, you should have your meal an average of 1.5 to 2.5 hours before exercising. Do not eat immediately after exercise; instead, wait at least 30 minutes after a typical routine, or as much as an hour after a hard workout. Remember to drink throughout exercise to make up for water lost to sweat.
Avoiding injury
To prevent soft tissue injury, make sure that you wear proper clothes and equipment when exercising. You should also start small and slowly work your way to a longer and harder exercise routine to avoid getting hurt. Finally, remember to warm up before exercising and stretch at the end of your workout. So, now you know the benefits of exercise and how to do it safely and effectively. What are you waiting for?

A beginner's guide to exercise
Taking that first step to start exercising is a great decision — congratulations! You're already on the path to becoming a healthier version of yourself.
Understanding the benefits of exercise
We often hear that staying active does wonders for us, but what exactly are the specific benefits? For starters, regular physical movement strengthens your heart and lungs. Because these organs are forced to labour more intensely while you exercise, they adapt by growing stronger over months and years. (1) On the mental side, a good workout can ease tension and help you shake off a bad mood. Some scientific findings even suggest that exercise boosts certain brain abilities, which could translate into higher marks at school.
Planning your exercise routine
(2) Are you aiming to strengthen your heart and lungs, build up your muscular power, or increase your body's flexibility? If you want to boost your cardiovascular fitness, go for aerobic options like swimming, skiing, or running. To grow stronger muscles and denser bones, turn to resistance exercises, such as lifting weights or doing pull-ups. (3) Activities like tai chi and gymnastics serve this purpose well. One golden rule to keep in mind, however, is to pick something you genuinely find enjoyable, since pleasure makes any routine far easier to maintain.
Eating and drinking right
Your body, much like a vehicle, depends on fuel to function. During exercise, it burns carbohydrates for this purpose, so meals built around rice, noodles, fruits and vegetables are excellent for keeping your energy levels high throughout a workout. (4) That means your post-exercise meals should feature protein-heavy foods, including dairy products, eggs and fish. Meal timing is equally important. Aim to finish eating about 1.5 to 2.5 hours ahead of your session. When you finish, give yourself at least half an hour before eating again, or up to a full hour if you've really pushed yourself. It's also crucial to drink fluids regularly as you exercise to replace what you lose through perspiration.
Avoiding injury
To keep your soft tissues safe, always wear clothes and gear that suit your activity. (5) Also, never begin without a proper warm-up or finish without taking time to stretch.
Now you know the rewards of exercise and how to do it wisely. There's no reason to wait — go for it!
A. Besides physical advantages, regular activity also greatly supports your emotional well-being.
B. Research also reveals that active people typically possess more powerful immune defences.
C. If greater ease of movement is your target, flexibility training is the answer.
D. When mapping out a fitness plan, you should first identify what you wish to achieve.
E. Running, swimming and skiing are all wonderful ways to strengthen your heart and lungs.
F. After a demanding session, your muscles require materials to rebuild and heal.
G. It's also wise to begin gently and gradually lengthen and intensify your workouts.
【答案】
1 B 段中句。空前谈“心脏和肺”的益处,空后转折谈心理益处(On the mental side),此处需要衔接身体益处的另一层面。B项“更有力的免疫防御”属于身体益处的补充,且与原文“better immune systems”完全同义改写。
2 D 段首句。该段围绕“如何规划运动”,空后三个问句(Are you aiming to...)具体指向“目标”。D项“mapping out a fitness plan, identify what you wish to achieve”概括该段主旨,与原文“what you expect to improve”同义。
3 C 段中句。空前讲了aerobic和resistance exercises,空后“Activities like tai chi and gymnastics”提示此处引出flexibility training。C项“greater ease of movement”即“更自如的活动能力”,与原文“improve your body's range of movement”对应。
4 F 段中句。空前讲碳水化合物供能,空后“That means... protein-heavy foods”提示此处需解释为何需要蛋白质。F项“muscles require materials to rebuild and heal”是原文“muscles recover and repair themselves”的改写,起到因果衔接作用。
5 G 段中句。空前讲“穿合适衣服和装备”,空后讲“热身和拉伸”,此处需衔接“从小量开始”这一防受伤要点。G项“begin gently and gradually lengthen and intensify”与原文“start small and slowly work your way to a longer and harder routine”对应。

Passage A
For most of Natalie Grabow’s life, she didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项). “Swimming was my biggest problem to solve,” she said later. Step by step, she overcame (克服) her fear of water and built the skills she needed.
Over the next 20 years, Grabow turned her dream into action. As a former software engineer, she had long loved running, but injuries often held her back. The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm. She trained hard and soon won several shorter half-triathlon races, growing stronger with each challenge.
By age 80, Grabow was ready for the world’s toughest test: the Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii. On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. She became the oldest woman ever to complete the race.
For Grabow, her successful finish puts a strong ending on a 20- year journey. “I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon allows me to feel strong both in my mind and body, and it also keeps my competitive spirit alive.”
Asked whether she has any tips for new athletes, Grabow keeps it simple. “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. For her, the sport is not just about winning, but about growing stronger, staying curious, and never stopping trying new things.
16.What pushed Grabow to learn swimming at 59?
A.To be a good coach. B.To complete a big event.
C.To improve her health. D.To reduce the fear of water.
17.Why did Grabow choose the cross- training part of triathlon?
A.It was more popular.
B.She was tired of running.
C.It was less likely to get hurt.
D.She wanted to challenge herself.
18.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.Preparations for the race. B.Grabow’s race process.
C.Rules of the Championship. D.Grabow’s running strategy.
19.What suggestion does Grabow give for new athletes?
A.Enjoy the journey. B.Keep going without rest.
C.Follow your hobby. D.Stay a competitive spirit.
【答案】16.B 17.C 18.B 19.A
【导语】主要讲述格拉博晚年学习游泳,坚持训练,高龄完成铁人三项世锦赛并分享自身运动感悟的故事。
【详解】16.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项).(五十九岁时,她下定决心学习游泳,这一切都是一个远大的目标驱使着:完成一场铁人三项赛事。)”可知,她为完成这项大型赛事,在五十九岁开始学习游泳。
17.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm.(铁人三项的交叉训练模式十分适合她,因为这种训练方式能够降低受伤风险。)”可知,她选择该训练模式是因为不易受伤。
18.主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. (比赛当日,她跃入海中游完2.4英里,随后骑行112英里,途经熔岩地带与海风呼啸的海岸公路。最后她跑完爬升超一千英尺的全程马拉松,耗时16小时45分钟冲线,远在规定时限之前,另有六十余名年轻选手未能完赛。)”可知,本段主要介绍格拉博的整场参赛过程。
19.细节理解题。根据第五段中的““Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. (她说道:“听从身体的信号,适时休整,最重要的是用心享受这段历程。”)”可知,她给新运动员的建议是享受运动过程。
Passage B
How to Be a Better Player in Sports
Do you want to improve your performance in sports? Becoming a skilled player is not just about natural talent. It also includes a mix of the right attitude, smart practice and teamwork. 20
First, it is very important to set clear goals. Yet the goals you set should be clear and specific. 21 For example; you could aim to master a new move in basketball or improve your swimming speed. This makes your practice more focused.
22 It’s not just about practising often, but also practising well. You need to pay full attention and try to correct your mistakes every time you practise. This is how you truly get better.
Besides, don’t forget the importance of your mindset (心态). 23 You will inevitably (不可避免地) face difficulties and sometimes lose games, and that’s perfectly okay. Don’t let a bad game get you down. Instead, learn from it and come back stronger.
In addition, learning from others is another great way to improve your skills. 24 Asking your coaches for advice is also very helpful. You should know that they can see what you can’t.
Finally, always be a good team player and show respect. Communicate with your teammates, encourage them and always follow the rules of the game. Good sportsmanship (体育精神) is a sign of a true champion.
A.Here are some key tips that can help you.
B.Stay positive even when you face difficulties.
C.Second, remember that practice is the key to success.
D.You can learn a lot by watching how skilled players perform.
E.You should also make sure that you are having fun while playing.

20.根据上文“Becoming a skilled player is not just about natural talent. It also includes a mix of the right attitude, smart practice and teamwork.(成为一名熟练的运动员不仅仅依靠天赋。它还包括正确的态度、明智的练习和团队合作的结合)”可知,此处应承接上文对成为优秀运动员所需条件的提及,引出下文具体提升建议,A选项“Here are some key tips that can help you.(这里有一些能帮助你的关键建议)”既呼应上文核心内容,又自然开启下文分点论述,符合语境。故选A项。
21.根据上文“Yet the goals you set should be clear and specific.(然而,你设定的目标应该清晰且具体)”以及下文“For example; you could aim to master a new move in basketball or improve your swimming speed. This makes your practice more focused.(例如,你可以把掌握一个新的篮球动作或提高游泳速度作为目标。这会让你的练习更有针对性)”可知,此处应说明设定清晰具体目标的重要性,G选项“This is very important because doing so gives you a clear direction to follow.(这非常重要,因为这样做能给你一个明确的方向可供遵循)”中的This指代上文“设定清晰具体的目标”,且clear direction与下文practice more focused相呼应,符合语境。故选G项。
22.根据上段“First, it is very important to set clear goals. (首先,设定清晰的目标非常重要)”以及下文“It’s not just about practising often, but also practising well.(这不仅仅是经常练习,还要好好练习)”可知,此处应承接First引出第二点建议,且核心围绕“练习”,C选项“Second, remember that practice is the key to success.(其次,要记住练习是成功的关键)” 既符合段落衔接逻辑,又精准呼应下文对练习的具体阐述,符合语境。故选C项。
23.根据上文“Besides, don’t forget the importance of your mindset (心态) .(此外,不要忘记心态的重要性)”以及下文“You will inevitably (不可避免地) face difficulties and sometimes lose games, and that’s perfectly okay. Don’t let a bad game get you down.(你将不可避免地面临困难,有时还会输掉比赛,这完全没关系。不要让一场糟糕的比赛让你沮丧)”可知,此处应具体说明良好心态的内涵,即面对困难保持积极,B选项“Stay positive even when you face difficulties.(即使面对困难也要保持积极)”衔接上文“心态重要性”,又呼应下文“面对困难和失败不沮丧”的内容,符合语境。故选B项。
24.根据上文“In addition, learning from others is another great way to improve your skills.(此外,向他人学习是提升技能的另一个好方法)”以及下文“Asking your coaches for advice is also very helpful.(向你的教练寻求建议也非常有帮助)”可知,此处应举例说明向他人学习的具体方式,D选项“You can learn a lot by watching how skilled players perform.(通过观察熟练运动员的表现,你可以学到很多东西)”承接上文“向他人学习”的核心,且与下文“向教练请教”构成并列的学习方式,符合语境。故选D项。

A beginner’s guide to exercise
You want to start doing exercise? Congratulations! You have just taken your first step towards a new and improved you!
Understanding the benefits of exercise
Most people assume that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind-but what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term. It has also been proven that active people tend to have better immune systems and are at lower risk of diseases. Moreover,exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over negative feelings. Some studies even show that exercise improves certain brain functions, meaning you could actually exercise your way to better performance at school!
Planning your exercise routine
When you plan an exercise routine, the first thing to consider is what you expect to improve: heart and lung efficiency, muscle strength or flexibility. Aerobic activities, like jogging, swimming and skiing, develop your heart and lungs. Strength training, such as pull-ups and weightlifting, increases muscle strength and encourages bone development. Flexibility training, including gymnastics and tai chi, helps stretch your muscles and improve your body's range of movement. These types of exercise all play a role in a healthy routine. Above all, choose activities you enjoy because, in this way, you're more likely to stick with them.
Eating and drinking right
Like cars that run on petrol, your body burns carbohydrates for energy. Foods like noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables give your body plenty of carbohydrates to keep up your energy during a long workout. To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise, you need to eat foods rich in protein, such as fish, eggs and milk products. When to eat is also of great importance. In general, you should have your meal an average of 1.5 to 2.5 hours before exercising. Do not eat immediately after exercise; instead, wait at least 30 minutes after a typical routine, or as much as an hour after a hard workout. Remember to drink throughout exercise to make up for water lost to sweat.
Avoiding injury
To prevent soft tissue injury, make sure that you wear proper clothes and equipment when exercising. You should also start small and slowly work your way to a longer and harder exercise routine to avoid getting hurt. Finally, remember to warm up before exercising and stretch at the end of your workout. So, now you know the benefits of exercise and how to do it safely and effectively. What are you waiting for?

A beginner's guide to exercise
Taking that first step to start exercising is a great decision — congratulations! You're already on the path to becoming a healthier version of yourself.
Understanding the benefits of exercise
We often hear that staying active does wonders for us, but what exactly are the specific benefits? For starters, regular physical movement strengthens your heart and lungs. Because these organs are forced to labour more intensely while you exercise, they adapt by growing stronger over months and years. (1) On the mental side, a good workout can ease tension and help you shake off a bad mood. Some scientific findings even suggest that exercise boosts certain brain abilities, which could translate into higher marks at school.
Planning your exercise routine
(2) Are you aiming to strengthen your heart and lungs, build up your muscular power, or increase your body's flexibility? If you want to boost your cardiovascular fitness, go for aerobic options like swimming, skiing, or running. To grow stronger muscles and denser bones, turn to resistance exercises, such as lifting weights or doing pull-ups. (3) Activities like tai chi and gymnastics serve this purpose well. One golden rule to keep in mind, however, is to pick something you genuinely find enjoyable, since pleasure makes any routine far easier to maintain.
Eating and drinking right
Your body, much like a vehicle, depends on fuel to function. During exercise, it burns carbohydrates for this purpose, so meals built around rice, noodles, fruits and vegetables are excellent for keeping your energy levels high throughout a workout. (4) That means your post-exercise meals should feature protein-heavy foods, including dairy products, eggs and fish. Meal timing is equally important. Aim to finish eating about 1.5 to 2.5 hours ahead of your session. When you finish, give yourself at least half an hour before eating again, or up to a full hour if you've really pushed yourself. It's also crucial to drink fluids regularly as you exercise to replace what you lose through perspiration.
Avoiding injury
To keep your soft tissues safe, always wear clothes and gear that suit your activity. (5) Also, never begin without a proper warm-up or finish without taking time to stretch.
Now you know the rewards of exercise and how to do it wisely. There's no reason to wait — go for it!
A. Besides physical advantages, regular activity also greatly supports your emotional well-being.
B. Research also reveals that active people typically possess more powerful immune defences.
C. If greater ease of movement is your target, flexibility training is the answer.
D. When mapping out a fitness plan, you should first identify what you wish to achieve.
E. Running, swimming and skiing are all wonderful ways to strengthen your heart and lungs.
F. After a demanding session, your muscles require materials to rebuild and heal.
G. It's also wise to begin gently and gradually lengthen and intensify your workouts.

二、阅读理解
Passage A
For most of Natalie Grabow’s life, she didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项). “Swimming was my biggest problem to solve,” she said later. Step by step, she overcame (克服) her fear of water and built the skills she needed.
Over the next 20 years, Grabow turned her dream into action. As a former software engineer, she had long loved running, but injuries often held her back. The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm. She trained hard and soon won several shorter half-triathlon races, growing stronger with each challenge.
By age 80, Grabow was ready for the world’s toughest test: the Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii. On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. She became the oldest woman ever to complete the race.
For Grabow, her successful finish puts a strong ending on a 20- year journey. “I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon allows me to feel strong both in my mind and body, and it also keeps my competitive spirit alive.”
Asked whether she has any tips for new athletes, Grabow keeps it simple. “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. For her, the sport is not just about winning, but about growing stronger, staying curious, and never stopping trying new things.
16.What pushed Grabow to learn swimming at 59?
A.To be a good coach. B.To complete a big event.
C.To improve her health. D.To reduce the fear of water.
17.Why did Grabow choose the cross- training part of triathlon?
A.It was more popular.
B.She was tired of running.
C.It was less likely to get hurt.
D.She wanted to challenge herself.
18.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.Preparations for the race. B.Grabow’s race process.
C.Rules of the Championship. D.Grabow’s running strategy.
19.What suggestion does Grabow give for new athletes?
A.Enjoy the journey. B.Keep going without rest.
C.Follow your hobby. D.Stay a competitive spirit.
Passage B
How to Be a Better Player in Sports
