四、阅读理解

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.

For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists (骑行者) between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. This group was called the“ cyclists”

Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. This group was called the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol (酒精) and people with other health issues were not included in the study.

Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems (免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.

Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.

The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.

The researchers advise us all to find the exercise that we like in our lives.

76. How did the researchers carry out the study?

D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.

78. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?

B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.

五、七选五

In the wintertime, runners in northern climates must decide whether to continue exercising outdoors or move inside to a treadmill (跑步机). Basically, running in cold temperatures is —for most people — a safe and effective workout. Let’s check the health benefits of running in cold weather below.

Running in cold weather can energize the body. By doing this, you tend to be more active.     80    Furthermore, take notes to always have your meals before running in cold weather. Then, your food will be changed into energy for sure.

In fact, running can be great to promote the healthy heart.    81    Cold weather can promote the heart to work harder and enhance the good blood regulation in the body. Indeed, it will help to make the stronger heart muscle during the cold weather.

    82    In short, your body needs to work harder to keep warm, which will cost more calories. Running in cold weather may burn 2,000 more calories per day, on average, compared to 1,000 calories in warm weather. By running more over winter, you could actually enjoy an extra benefit—weight loss.

Another benefit you can get from running in cold weather is to prevent earlier aging. You may be surprised with this one. But, this is linked with the ability of cold-weather running to reduce the tendency for the body to experience the mass of bone and muscle wasting.    83   

Interesting enough, running during cold weather can help you to lift the mood up.    84    It is surveyed that running outdoors in winter can achieve less depression. Moreover, when the weather gives you cold, in contrast, the body gets warmer during running or workout. As a result, you will feel happier for sure.

A. Therefore, it is time to try this one to live young.

B. Admittedly, cold weather can help burn calories.

C. It will help to promote the energy building in the body.

D. This is linked to the food satisfaction in the cold weather.

E. But, if you run in cold weather, it will boost the benefit more.

F. The cold weather can reduce heat stress and make an easier run.

G. It is linked to the wet and the air feeling which makes you feel calm.

六、语法填空

The ancient Olympic Games    85    (begin) the year 776 BC and died out around the year 393. Then only Greek men    86    (allow ) to participate. The modern Olympics were first held    87    1896. A Frenchman    88    (name) Pierre de Coubertin brought the Olympics back to life. The motto of the Olympics is “Faster, Higher, Stronger.”

Many remarkable Olympians have appeared, such as the boxer Cassius Clay from the USA    89    demonstrated great talent and personality and a former track and field athlete, Jessica Ennis-ill, from the UK who tells us how hard work and devotion can lead    90    sporting excellence.

China has played    91    important role in the Olympics. In 2008, China hosted the Olympic Games for the first time and it ranked first    92    the medal table. Furthermore, Beijing won the    93    (elect) to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Olympic Games bring joy and excitement to people      94      the world.

七、读后续写

95. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I’m not exactly the biggest guy on my basketball team. I’m not even in the top half of the team in height. Okay, the truth is that I’m not only the smallest player on my team, but also the smallest in the league(联赛). However, there is one reason why I made the team. Although my arms and legs are short and my body is small, I know that I can match anyone out there in the size of my heart.

One time, I was trying to get the ball from a huge player from the other team. Since I was the smallest player, I had to try my best. I guess that was quite a funny sight because when I got back to the bench, the coach said I looked like an angry Chihuahua, which refers to a small Mexican dog. I didn’t like it. I pretended(假装) to laugh, but inside I was hurt. One player who didn’t laugh was Eric. He always went out of his way to make me feel at home on the team. Except Eric, I felt like all the members of the team thought I was a joke!

However, something happened a few days later, and now, I wear this name with pride. That day, we were playing against another team. They were all huge, and they played very hard and madly. One of their players was the biggest bully(恶霸) in the league. I knew that one big hit from this guy could leave me seriously injured.

In the middle of the game, I passed the ball to Eric. He was about to take a shot(投篮) when the big bully on the other team took his ball and knocked Eric on the shoulder. Eric dropped like a stone on the ground and was badly injured.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I saw the bully laughing, and I just couldn’t take it!
