Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

For a while，my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者).They were there all the time: early mornings, noons and evenings. There were little old ladies in grey sweats(运动服)，young couples in Adidas shoes，middle-age, men with red faces.“Come on！” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening，“You’ll feel great.”

Well，I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day，anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life，and not a day more. Based on my experience，jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around，and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army，I’m not alone in my opinion.

First of all，jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot，leg，and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of heart attack while jogging，and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people，but if you have any physical weaknesses，jogging will surely bring them out，as they did with me.

Secondly，I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say，“I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well，my thoughts began to bore me，and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain？And that wasn’t just the first week；it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level，and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises，including walking，lead to almost the same results painlessly，so why jog?

I don’t jog any more，and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace，and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise，and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging，and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

1.From the first paragraph，we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood         .

A. jogging became very popular

B. people jogged only during the daytime

C. Alex organized an army of joggers

D. jogging provided a chance to get together

2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to “        ”.

A. heart attacks     B. back problems

C. famous joggers   D. physical weaknesses

3.Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?

A. He disliked doing exercise outside.

B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.

C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.

D. He was worried about being left alone.

4.From the writer’s experience，we can conclude that         .

A. not everyone enjoys jogging

B. he is the only person who hates jogging

C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit

D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport

B

Catching the ball and turning around, then making a fade-away shot, 18-year-old high school senior Song Jinhong dazzles onlookers with his basketball skills.

Song lives in Xijiang Miao village, in Leishan county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture, Southwest China's Guizhou province. The village is home to 6,432 people, most of whom are from the Miao ethnic group, and is regarded as the world's biggest Miao village.

Since 2008, the village has focused on becoming a tourist spot, and in the summers of recent years, has welcomed around 30,000 tourists each day. But this year, only 15,000 tourists have been permitted inside because of epidemic prevention and control measures.

Near the center of the village lies the basketball court, where villagers like Song play at their leisure.

"No matter what ages the villagers are, once they step onto the court, they show huge passion," said Li Song, the village director, adding that the villagers also stage basketball competitions at important festivals every year.

Song started playing basketball at the age of 10. He used to practice on the court which is a 10-minute walk from his home. But after moving to attend senior high school elsewhere in the county, he now only comes back in summer and winter holidays.

"When I am back in the village, I like to form a team with my friends, then play against other villagers on the court," Song said, adding that playing basketball not only strengthens his body, but also gives him the opportunity to make new friends.

Song is not alone. More and more villagers have fallen in love with basketball, and several months ago many of them raised more than 130,000 yuan ($19,000) to build a new basketball court on a hillside.

"The villagers have lately been secretly preparing an event. I guess it must be a basketball competition," Li said.

Song's family also opened their purse to help fund the construction of the new court. In his opinion, it was good for the villagers to build the court to exercise, indicating that they have realized the importance of sports to their health.

"Most villagers had not done sport for a long time as they had to stay at home almost until the end of March, when the epidemic was gradually brought under control in Guizhou," he said, adding that villagers' lives have come back to normal, and playing basketball with each other outside on the court is meaningful.

1.Why have only 15,000 tourists have been permitted inside Miao village this year?

A. Its people are from the Miao ethnic group.

B. It is regarded as the world's biggest Miao village.

C. In the summers of recent years, has welcomed around 30,000 tourists each day.

D. Control measures have been taken because of epidemic prevention.

2.According to Song, which is one of the benefits of playing basketball?

A. Villagers stage basketball competitions at important festivals every year

B. Villagers show huge passion when they step onto the court.

C. More and more villagers have fallen in love with basketball.

D. Playing basketball not only strengthens his body, but also gives him the opportunity to make new friends.

3. What can we learn from Song's family opening their purse to help the construction of the new court?

A. They support the development of basketball sport in the village.

B. They want to build the new court to make money.

C. They are preparing a basketball competition.

D. Many of them have raised more than 130,000 yuan ($19,000).

二、拓展提升

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

语篇解读:

不知从何时起，慢跑已经悄然成为一种时尚，然而并不是每个人都适合做这种运动。两个月的慢跑锻炼让作者多处受伤、苦不堪言，由此作者决定不再做这种运动。

1.答案　A

解析　推理判断题。第一段中提到作者所在的街区到处都是形形色色的慢跑者，由此可推断A项正确。B项与本段第二句内容不符；后两项在文章中没有信息支持。

2.答案　D

解析　代词指代题。本句的前面提到如果你有任何的身体虚弱症状，慢跑都会让它们显示出来，由此可推断此项正确。文章中没有提到作者患有心脏病，所以A项与本句中的“as they did with me”不符；B项只是身体虚弱的一个方面的表现。

3.答案　B

解析　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，作者因为慢跑而多处受伤。根据第四段第一句可知，慢跑对作者毫无乐趣可言。由此可知，B项正确。

4.答案　A

解析　推理判断题。文章开头部分提到慢跑在作者所在的街区已经蔚然成风，可作者尝试一段时间后不得不放弃，由此可推断并非每个人都喜欢慢跑。B项过于绝对；作者没有推崇慢跑的意思，因此后两项不恰当。

II.完形填空

语篇解读:

　明知山有虎，偏向虎山行。作者明明知道有蛇出没的地方很危险，而且第一次蛇从身旁经过时都吓得浑身发抖，却摆脱不掉猎奇的心理，最后还是去了那个危险之地冒险探秘。

1.答案　A

解析　根据上文中的“a large black snake was moving past me”和空后的moving slowly可知，那条蛇“继续”缓慢移动。

2.答案　B

解析　根据语境可知，那条蛇移动得十分缓慢以至于它看起来“几乎没有”移动，故B项正确。

3.答案　C

解析　根据空后的“not daring to make...”可知作者因为“害怕”所以浑身发抖。

4.答案　B

解析　作者害怕得发抖，所以在这期间哪怕是再小的“动作”作者都不敢做。

5.答案　A

解析　蛇缓慢地从作者身边爬过，最后终于“消失”在作者的视野范围内，看见蛇消失后作者赶紧转身跑掉了，所以A项正确。

6.答案　C

解析　看到蛇作者吓得发抖，所以作者心里自然是想再也不(never)冒险到这个蛇出没的地方了。

7.答案　B

解析　有蛇出没的地方应该是一个“危险的”地方，所以B项正确。

8.答案　C

解析　此处是说那条蛇的身影一直浮现在作者的“脑海”之中，挥之不去，所以C项正确。

9.答案　A

解析　从早上醒来到晚上睡觉，作者的脑海中一直都是那条蛇的身影，这一直困扰着作者。

10.答案　C

解析　虽然那条蛇总是浮现在作者的脑海中，但是作者并没有向任何人提到过那条蛇。

11.答案　B

解析　根据空后的“it was a dangerous secret”可知选B项。

12.答案　A

解析　虽然知道那个地方是非常危险的，但是作者也不想让别人阻止自己再次去那个地方。前后为转折关系，故选A项。

13.答案　B

解析　参见上题解析可知B项正确。visit访问，参观，看望，拜访。

14.答案　D

解析　由语境可知想要再看看那条蛇的欲望太强烈了，所以作者无法不接近它。故选D项。

15.答案　C

解析　参见上题解析可知选C项。

16答案　B

解析　作者下定决心再去蛇出没的地方看一看，想着如果蛇再次“出现”，自己拔腿就跑。

17.答案　A

解析　该句的主语是the slight sound，此处是说和数天前一样，一阵蛇发出的嘶嘶的声音传到作者的耳朵里。

18.答案　B

解析　本来作者想着蛇一出现自己马上拔腿就跑，但是当蛇出现的时候作者依然不敢“动”，因为要是这时匆忙逃跑反而会惊到那条蛇。

19.答案　C

解析　根据下文“The snake put its head into the hole”可知，距离作者一码远的地上有一个蛇洞。

20.答案　C

解析　此处是说，蛇把自己的身体慢慢地拖到洞里面，最后完全消失。pull拖，拉。

III.短文填空

语篇解读:

　本文是记叙文。作者记叙了自己去泰国玩蹦极的过程和经历。

1.答案　but

解析　考查连词。根据上下文语境可知，“我”不是一个勇敢的女孩，但“我”痴迷于蹦极，前后句为转折关系，故填but。

2.答案　surfing

解析　考查非谓语动词。介词by后应接动名词作宾语，故填surfing。

3.答案　flew

解析　考查时态。所填词与前面的packed是and连接的并列谓语动词，故应填flew。

4.答案　that/which

解析　考查关系代词。所填词引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词为the car，故应填that/which。

5.答案　sights

解析　考查名词复数。定冠词后面应接名词且sight为可数名词，意为“景象”，故填sights。

6.答案　an

解析　考查冠词。agreement为可数名词，表示泛指，前面加不定冠词，且agreement是以元音音素开头的单词，故填an。

7.答案　tied

解析　考查非谓语动词。句中有谓语动词stood up and felt，故此处需要填非谓语动词，my ankles与tie是逻辑上的被动关系，故应填过去分词tied。

8.答案　slowly

解析　考查词性转换。此处修饰动词walked，应用副词形式。故填slowly。

9.答案　laughing

解析　考查非谓语动词。can’t help doing sth. 意为“禁不住做某事”，为固定搭配。

10.答案　proudly

解析　考查词性转换。所填词与前面的loudly为并列结构，修饰laughing，故应用proud的副词形式proudly。

At present，a campaign called National Healthy Lifestyle was carried out throughout the

country. Its aim is to improve people’s life quality. This campaign calls on people to take more exercise as well as eat less，contributing to your body’s balance between nutrition and exercise.

In my opinion，it’s very necessary for people to take more exercise. Nowadays，more and more people are spending less and less time in building up their bodies，which affects their health seriously. As for students，their health condition is much more worrying.

With the campaign called National Healthy Lifestyle carried out，more and more people will be aware of this condition and begin to go in for all kinds of sports. And people’s health will be improved greatly.
