Unit 4　Looking Good, Feeling Good 素养培优练(二) 班级： 姓名： 成绩： Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分) A People who live far away from the ocean sometimes never get the chance to go to the beach and play in the water. An educational program in Australia is changing that for Aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的) children from the bush(an area of wild land), letting them see and swim in the ocean for the first time. Bush to Beach, founded(创建) in 2006 by Jack Cannons, brings kids from Brewarrina and nearby areas in northwest New South Wales(NSW) to South Narrabeen Beach near Sydney for a three-day surf(冲浪) camp to learn new skills and build confidence in an environment that is totally new to them. Through a partnership with the South Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club, over 600 children took the 100-hour bus trip to visit the beach. Only children who have good school attendance and behavior can take part in the program. The children have fun in the sun, learning how to swim and surf, but most importantly, they learn CPR(a life-saving method) and water safety rules. Despite spending all those hours on a bus, the kids were very happy to be at the beach. Nine-year-old Hazel was excited to collect shells(贝壳) and go for a swim. “My town is small, but here it’s big. We don’t have a beach at Brewarrina,” she said. “I went surfing and I saw many different sea animals.” The kids gain so much from the program, and so do the volunteers. Brian Grundy, a local South Narrabeen surf lifesaver, said that the program has a “surprising” effect on the kids and helps encourage them to achieve goals, including higher education. Cannons was very pleased with the success of the program and said that he wanted to expand(扩大) it to more NSW communities in the next two years. He said, “I want this to go right around the country, surf clubs and communities forming partnerships with bush towns and developing friendships.” 1.Bush to Beach was founded to 　　　　.  A.open aboriginal children’s eyes B.attract more people to the beach C.raise money for aboriginal children D.recommend a new lifestyle to people 2.What did Hazel think of her taking part in the program? A.It provided her with much pleasure. B.It helped improve her school attendance. C.It made her think of leaving her small town. D.It got her interested in studying sea animals. 3.What is Grundy’s attitude towards the program? A.Unclear. B.Doubtful. C.Favorable. D.Carefree. 4.What is Cannons’ latest plan? A.To help coastal children explore the bush. B.To grow surf communities around the country. C.To call on more volunteers to attend the program. D.To bring the program to more communities and their children. B Specializing(专攻) in one sport early in a child’s athletic career is often a way to win college scholarships(奖学金) or even go on to become professionals(职业运动员).However,researchers at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Toronto,Canada,say “not so fast”.  “Our study,which is the largest study so far examining the topic of single(单一的) sports specialization,helps to understand the present situation of specialization in youth sports,”said Patrick S.Buckley,MD of the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia,PA.“Our results showed that present high school athletes specialized two years earlier than present college and professional athletes.The results of our study suggest that specialization at a very young age does not increase the possibility of an athlete achieving a top position within his or her sport.” Buckley and his team did a survey of high school,college and professional athletes before their yearly pre-participation physical exam.A total of 3,090 people completed the survey.The age of single sport specialization obviously differed among groups and happened at an age of 12.7 ± 2.4 for high school,14.8 ± 2.5 for college students and 14.1 ± 2.8 for professional athletes.More than 80% of athletes from all study groups reported that they were glad they had focused on a single sport at the age they did.Present high school and college participants(参与者) also reported more sports-related injuries than present professional athletes,some of whom noted that their injuries could be from too much play. “More research needs to be done to fully understand the benefits and risks related to sport specialization at young ages and establish evidence-based strategies to optimize(使最优化) the sport experience for kids while minimizing injury.In addition,we must continue to educate parents,coaches,medical professionals and athletes on the do’s and don’ts of safe play to keep kids active for life,” said Buckley. 5.What does the underlined phrase “not so fast” in the first paragraph mean? A.The study was conducted too quickly. B.Kids needn’t rush into specialization early. C.The results of the research came out not fast. D.The researchers were not strict in their work. 6.What can we learn from the survey on sport specialization? A.High school athletes specialized later. B.Professional athletes had fewer injuries. C.College athletes specialized at about 14.1. D.Most athletes recognized early specialization. 7.What is the researchers’ attitude to early sport specialization? A.Disapproving. B.Supportive. C.Careful. D.Uncaring. 8.What can be the best title for the text? A.Early Sport Specialization Is Being Challenged B.Sports:a Key to Getting a College Scholarship C.Injuries in Sports Are Becoming a Major Worry D.Early Sport Specialization Leads to Early Success Ⅱ.完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) Waters’ strong confidence made her the top of her game—she holds the number one in tennis in Florida.

As I grew older,my lack of interest became more obvious.I would go shopping during big games,posting photos on social media to show I had more free time than the people absorbed in their yearly sports.I considered my disengagement from the world of sports an intellectual advantage,a space in my brain reserved for non-sports activities. However,this attitude of mine became a source of pressure for me.Casual conversations with friends’ fathers or fellow cab passengers became a challenge.The well-intentioned openers like “Hey,terrible season we’re having,eh?” or “Who do you support?” made me feel my heart sink,not knowing what to reply.Though I still found football boring,I was starting to regret my outsider status. The turning point came when I became a father myself.Fearing that my boy Harvey would lack the social involvement in football,I decided to change.So,I brought a football to the playground and I bought him a mini football table at home.I even took the brave step of buying tickets to watch our local team,Boreham Wood. The friendly atmosphere of the Meadow Park Stadium,the home ground of Boreham Wood,immediately surprised me:low-key,free parking on the street,and ￡2.50 for a bag of chips.Families surrounded us,all with a real connection to the players on the field. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Slowly but surely,I found myself engaged in the game.___________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ With each visit to the stadium,our connection to football deepened._________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚的一个教育项目为土著孩子提供接触海洋的机会。 1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段“An educational program in Australia is changing that for Aboriginal children from the bush...letting them see and swim in the ocean for the first time”及第二段“Bush to Beach...brings kids from Brewarrina...to South Narrabeen Beach...to learn new skills and build confidence”可知,该项目让土著孩子第一次看到海洋、学习新技能,对应A选项“开阔土著孩子的视野”。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第四段“Hazel was excited to collect shells and go for a swim”以及“I went surfing and I saw many different sea animals.”可知,“excited”表明她参与项目很开心,A选项“给她带来很多快乐”符合文意。 3.C　推理判断题。第五段Brian Grundy说项目对孩子有“surprising”效果,“helps encourage them to achieve goals”可知,这些都是正面评价,C选项“Favorable(支持的)”正确。 4.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段“he wanted to expand it to more NSW communities in the next two years”以及“I want this to go right around the country”可知,他计划将项目推广到更多社区,对应D选项“把项目带给更多社区和他们的孩子”。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了早期体育专项化(专攻某一体育项目)的做法正受到挑战,研究表明过早专项化并不会增加运动员在各自项目中取得顶尖地位的可能性。 5.B　词句猜测题。此处是指不要太早开始专攻一项运动。故not so fast意为“孩子们不必过早地专攻一项运动”。 6.B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“现在的高中生和大学生参与者报告的与运动相关的伤害也比现在的职业运动员多,其中一些人指出,他们的伤害可能是运动过度造成的”可知,职业运动员受伤较少。 7.C　推理判断题。他们并没有完全否定进行早期专项运动这件事,而是提出需要更多的研究来全面理解进行早期专项运动的利弊。由此可知,研究人员对进行早期专项运动的态度是谨慎的。 8.A　主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了早期专攻一项运动并不一定能带来好处,研究人员对此进行了相关研究。由此可知,A选项最适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Waters的网球职业生涯经历和获得的成就,以及她如何磨炼自己的精神韧性。 9.A　根据下文“she gave the sport a try”可知,刚开始,Waters并没有预料到自己会从事网球职业。 10.C　Waters在网球赛中获得了很好的成绩,推断第一次尝试后,这项运动给她留下了深刻印象。 11.B　Waters成绩很好,很快名列前茅。 12.D　根据下文“begins her day with two hours of training”可知,这里描述的是她的训练日常。 13.A　根据上文“After doing her school work”及下文“back to the gym”可知,在完成学业后,她会前往体育馆训练。 14.A　根据上文“she...back to the gym for another two hours with”并结合常识可知,去体育馆应该和训练员一起训练。 15.B　根据下文“and needs to climb out of it”可知,当压力上升时,需要摆脱压力。 16.D　当比赛时压力上升,Waters会叫停比赛。 17.C　当对手想要将自己击倒时,必须保持自信。 18.D　根据上文“because your opponent is trying to beat you,and if you’ re trying to beat yourself too”可知,当对手和自己都在试图打败自己时,那就是两个对抗一个。 19.B　Waters能够克服自我怀疑,因此,她认为这种能力非常重要。 20.B　当Waters面临压力时,她会自己调整,因此,积极的转变会帮助她取得成功。 21.C　网球帮助Waters创造了奇迹。 22.A　Waters的故事吸引了更多的运动员。 23.C　就像Waters一样,如果想要学习,那就试一试。 Ⅲ.【参考范文】 Slowly but surely,I found myself engaged in the game. Harvey’s endless questions about the sport fueled my curiosity,making me more focused.Besides,the exciting atmosphere of the stadium became infectious,which inspired a genuine passion within me.Though some elements of the football culture were still unfamiliar to me,I found myself cheering and celebrating with fellow fans.I discussed with them about the game,shared my thoughts on the players’ performance,and even predicted the outcome of the match.When we walked out of the stadium,our discussion about the game continued,showing the unexpected joy football had brought into our lives.  With each visit to the stadium,our connection to football deepened. The following matches became more than mere routine outings;they were shared moments of excitement and connection with my son.The stadium,once an unfamiliar place,transformed into a comforting ground where families gathered to share the joy of the game.As we cheered for Boreham Wood,I discovered the beauty of sports extending beyond the field:connecting people,creating memories,and fostering a sense of community.Football became more than just a sport but an activity that not only changed my life but also strengthened the father-son relationship.  学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
