Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)

(2026·浙江名校联考)Two years ago, Truett Hanes (USA) wrapped his hands around the bar in his gym, and hoisted himself up and down repeatedly until he completed an exhausting and rewarding 8,100 pull-ups in 24 hours.He had claimed the record title for most pull-ups in 24 hours by a margin (差额) of 92—validating years of physical and mental work that left Truett in the best shape of his life.
And then, less than one day after claiming his title, across the world in Australia the police officer Gary Lloyd broke Truett's record by a margin of 500 pull-ups, officially taking his crown.
“I overcame a lot of doubt, pain and exhaustion just to have the record for a single day,” said Truett.Although he was proud of his accomplishment, he also described the event as an “emotional rollercoaster”—but one that would ultimately inspire him to go to unprecedented lengths to retake his title.
He decided to train for the record again.After months of rigorous work on his form, diet, and mentality, Truett surpassed his previous record by 1,901, and retook his record for most pull ups in 24 hours by completing an astounding 10,001.
And yes, it hurt—Truett's hands and arms were shaking and red after, and it took days of recovery for the calluses on his palms to heal.But as he said: “The pain of regret far outweighs the pain of my hands.”
Truett wants other people to take away this lesson from his inspiring attempt.
“Consistently showing up every day and giving your best effort will never be something you regret,” he said.“Stay the course.That's the biggest lesson you can take away from me.It may take months, years or even decades to get to where you want, but as long as you don't give up... you'll get there.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。当美国人Truett Hanes所创造的引体向上吉尼斯世界纪录被他人打破后,他经过几个月的刻苦训练再次以10,001个的成绩一举打破该纪录。
1.How many pull ups did Gary Lloyd finish in 24 hours?( )
A.8,008. B.8,100.
C.8,192. D.8,600.
解析:D 数字计算题。根据第一、二段可知,美国人Truett Hanes 在24小时内完成了8,100个引体向上,创造了吉尼斯世界纪录;然而,在不到一天的时间内,澳大利亚人Gary Lloyd以500个的优势打破了Truett Hanes刚刚创造的世界纪录。也就是8,100+500=8,600。故D项正确。
2.Which of the following best describes Truett's emotion change according to the first two paragraphs?( )
A.From doubt to surprise.
B.From depression to delight.
C.From frustration to satisfaction.
D.From excitement to disappointment.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第一、二段可知,Truett Hanes创造吉尼斯世界纪录后不到一天就被别人打破了,他的情感经历了过山车般的变化。也就是从兴奋到失落。故D项正确。
3.What did Truett mean by saying “The pain of regret far outweighs the pain of my hands”?( )
A.His efforts are worthwhile.
B.It's difficult to break his record.
C.He isn't satisfied with the result.
D.Great pain hides behind success.
解析:A 句意理解题。根据语境可知,这句话字面的意思是:后悔的痛苦远胜于双手的疼痛。其隐含意义是:如果他不去挑战自我打破新纪录,他会活在悔恨当中;而这种悔恨带来的痛苦,远远胜过刻苦训练带来的身体痛苦。也就是说,他的付出是有意义的、值得的。故A项正确。
4.What message does Truett try to convey in the last paragraph?( )
A.Be your personal best.
B.Aim high and dream big.
C.Stick to what you are doing.
D.Challenge what's impossible.
解析:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,Truett在本段主要传递的信息是:坚持不懈,去达成目标。其中“Stay the course”和“don't give up”表达相同的意思。故C项正确。
B
Want to learn a new language or get A's in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory.A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function,scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning.
Participants—72 healthy male and female adults—were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning.After the test,all of the subjects watched nature documentaries,but two-thirds of them also exercised.Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test.The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.
Two days later,all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test,and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity.The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately.Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity,indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned.
According to this research,the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying.But why? That's one question the researchers have yet to answer.Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning.I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,探索了运动与学习之间的关系,特别是运动对记忆力的影响以及何时运动可以最大化地帮助学习。
5.What did the new study aim to explore?( )
A.When exercise is best for learning.
B.What biochemicals are good for health.
C.How brainwaves should be measured.
D.Which area of the brain is the most active.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.”可知,这项新研究的目的是探索运动对学习最有益的时间点。
6.What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment?( )
A.Train on bicycles.
B.Do mathematics exercises.
C.Play computer games.
D.Watch films about nature.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“all of the subjects watched nature documentaries”可知,在实验中,所有参与者都观看了关于自然的纪录片。
7.Why did the participants return to the lab two days later?( )
A.To do a medical examination.
B.To have their memory tested.
C.To get their workouts recorded.
D.To finish their previous tasks.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test”可知,两天后,参与者回到实验室是为了测试他们的记忆力。
8.What might the author's marathon running prove?( )
A.The findings of the study are reliable.
B.Long-distance runners are often smart.
C.Studies on the marathon are not enough.
D.Intense exercise may not sharpen the brain.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.”可推测,作者用自己的经验表明剧烈运动可能不会让大脑变得更敏锐。

Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分)
If you're a sports fan, you may be familiar 1 ________ the emotional rollercoaster that comes with watching sports.2 ________ you're part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it's easy to get 3 ________(catch) up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or feel sympathy for your favourite team or athlete.Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased 4 ________ risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident.But can watching sports be good for you too?
The evidence suggests that people 5 ________ watch live sporting events experience greater well-being than those who don't.A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, found sports spectators (观众) felt less lonely and had 6 ________(high) scores for life satisfaction.Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “watching live sport of all types 7 ________(provide) many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to create group identity and belonging.” She says this then reduces 8 ________(lonely) and boosts well-being.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过观看体育比赛增强社交联系来提升身心健康和幸福感。
1.解析:with 考查介词。be familiar with是一个固定短语,表示“熟悉……”。
2.解析:Whether 考查状语从句。这里连词whether意为“不管;无论”,引导一个让步状语从句。
3.解析:caught 考查非谓语动词。“get+过去分词”表示被动概念。这里get/be caught up in sth表示“被卷入或陷入某事物中”。
4.解析:the 考查冠词。这里特指后面提到的“a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident”这一风险,因此应该用定冠词the。
5.解析:who/that 考查定语从句。这里关系代词who/that引导一个定语从句,修饰先行词people。
6.解析:higher 考查形容词比较级。本空前面的felt less lonely暗示这里也应该用形容词的比较级,had higher scores与felt less lonely正好并列。
7.解析:provides 考查时态。本句主语为动名词短语watching live sport of all types且陈述一个客观事实,应该用一般现在时。
8.解析:loneliness 考查名词。本空前面是谓语动词reduces,因此这里应该用名词形式作其宾语。
9.解析:effects 考查名词复数。这里effect为可数名词,根据语境应该用复数形式。
