My family,  my wife, Joan, our two teenagers Hannah and Joseph,  and I,  live in Atlanta with our two dogs.

Ten years ago,  we moved into our dream house,  a very big three-story home. It was a beautiful place,  but as our children grew up,  our sense of togetherness (团结) began to disappear slowly. In the big house,  we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other.

One day when Hannah was 14,  she became upset about the difference between the world’s haves and the have-nots. She expected us to be “a family that makes a difference in the world,  even if it’s a small difference. ” Joan asked her,  “What are you willing to sacrifice?  Your house?  Your room? ” Hannah said yes to both. After talking it over as a family,  we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate (捐赠) the difference to those in need.

After a lot of research,  we chose the Hunger Project,  a US-based organization. It works with villagers in Africa,  Asia and South America and helps them fight against poverty (贫穷). Our money went to pay for building two centers. Each has a meeting place,  a bank and a health clinic (诊所). Together,  the centers would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana. We also traveled to meet the villagers and were blown away by their hard work and warmth.

To be honest,  we were a little worried at first. Would we regard the new home as being too small for us?  Or would we think we had given up too much?  Two years later,  I can tell you:  It’s the best move we have ever made. While we worked together on our family project,  we became much closer. As Hannah said the other day,  “We learned how to really trust each other. ”

Running on the beach can certainly be a good thing. It’s completely different from running on the pavement, a track or trails with soft surfaces.

For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven(不平的)surface and constantly moves under your feet. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or pavement! But this unevenness has an upside:  It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.

You also might feel painful afterward because beaches tend to slope(倾斜)downward, toward the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body—including your ankle, leg or knee—might feel more painful because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.

Some beach runners tend to run barefoot. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and run short distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet.

Despite these challenges, running on sand can be a smart choice for athletes because running on it can decrease the bad influence on your body during high-intensity workouts. This could potentially lead to less muscle damage and less pain. Women had less myoglobin(肌红蛋白)—a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain—in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces, such as sand, may reduce muscle damage.

【文章大意】在海滩上跑步肯定是一件好事。这和在人行道上跑步完全不同, 路面是柔软的。文章主要说明了一些在沙滩上跑步需要注意的事项。

5. What makes running on sand difficult for starters?

A. The smooth surface. 　　B. The moving surface.

C. The sloping surface.   D. The hard surface.

【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句For starters,  sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven surface and constantly moves under your feet. (对于初学者来说, 沙子可能是个挑战, 因为它的表面不平整, 而且在你脚下不停地移动。)可知运动的表面使得初学者刚开始在沙地上跑步很困难。

6. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A. Advantage.  B. Reason.

C. Surprise.   D. Challenge.

【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据下文It gives your body an extra workout,  forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. (它给你的身体提供了额外的锻炼, 迫使你锻炼肌肉, 而这些肌肉在坚实的地面上跑步时不会得到太多的锻炼。)可知是在描述这种不平整的一个好处。故可推测划线单词意思为“好处”。

7. What should you avoid when trying running barefoot?

A. Starting slowly.

B. Adapting your feet.

C. Developing some muscles.

D. Running long distances.

【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句However,  if you’re not used to barefoot running,  start slowly and run short distances at first. (然而, 如果你不习惯赤脚跑步, 开始时要慢慢来, 跑短距离。)可知要避免赤脚跑长距离。

8. What is the benefit of running on sand to women?

A. Having no muscle damage.

B. Becoming much healthier.

C. Feeling less painful.

D. Having a good feeling.

【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中Women had less myoglobin—a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain-in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces,  such as sand,  may reduce muscle damage. (女性在沙滩上跑步后血液中的肌红蛋白含量比在草地上跑步时要低。这表明在较软的地面上跑步, 比如沙地, 可以减少肌肉损伤。)可知对女性来说, 在沙滩上跑步的好处是不会那么痛苦。

Ⅱ. 阅读填句

　　根据短文内容,  从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Understanding and appreciating art can be hard if you don’t have much experience with art. Don’t worry. The following can help you get an appreciation for artwork enormously.

●Relax as you look at work.

　1　, it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when you’re in a relaxed mood so that the art affects you in a positive way. Limit distractions(分神) around you,  like your cell phone,  and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.  

●　2　.  

Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that”and drop previous opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and don’t compare it with other works,  especially if it’s not in the same style.

●Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.

Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art,  ask yourself how the art makes you feel. 　3　,  it has an effect on you. Do be honest with yourself when you describe your real feelings.  

●Research the artist’s life.

Some galleries have an informational plaque(牌匾) near the artwork that describes the artist. Read the informational plaque next to the artwork. This is a great way to better understand the artist and his mind when they created the art. Most art tries to express a feeling like sadness,  anger,  or happiness. 　4　.  

●Speak and talk with artists.

Only if you like,  you can find artists at their art shows. 　5　. Getting their thought may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work.  

Well now,  if you still don’t get art and can’t appreciate it,  try to create some artwork yourself. If you don’t know where to start,  you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.

A. Look at the artwork as objectively(客观的) as you can

B. If it makes you happy,  sad,  anxious or excited

C. As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art

D. Since being nervous can actually affect how you enjoy art

E. Take the time to speak to them

F. For example,  if the artist saw a war,  a sad feeling may be expressed in his art

G. There are different styles and types of art for you to further research

【文章大意】艺术经验不够丰富的人很难理解和欣赏抽象艺术, 本文为读者介绍了五种帮助理解抽象艺术的方法。

1. 【解析】选D。根据下文it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when you’re in a relaxed mood so that the art affects you in a positive way. (当你心情放松的时候, 最好是去画廊或欣赏艺术品, 这样艺术就会以积极的方式影响你。)可知本空说明紧张会影响你如何享受艺术。故选D。

2. 【解析】选A。根据本段第一句Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and drop previous opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. (避免说“任何人都能做到”之类的话, 在你真正看到艺术品之前, 放下你之前对它的看法。)可知要尽可能客观地看待艺术品。故选A。

3. 【解析】选B。根据上文Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art,  ask yourself how the art makes you feel. (与其关注艺术的技术层面, 不如问问自己艺术给你的感觉如何。)可知要着重于艺术给自己的感觉, 如果它让你快乐、悲伤、焦虑或兴奋, 它就会对你产生影响。故B选项符合语境。

4. 【解析】选F。根据上文Most art tries to express a feeling like sadness,  anger,  or happiness. (大多数艺术试图表达一种感觉, 如悲伤、愤怒或快乐。)可知艺术家会将自己的情感表现在作品当中, 例如, 如果艺术家看到一场战争, 他的作品中可能会表达出一种悲伤的情绪。故F选项符合语境。

5. 【解析】选E。根据本段小标题Speak and talk with artists. (与艺术家交谈。)中speak可对应到E选项中speak to them, 表示“花时间和他们(艺术家)交谈。”故E选项符合语境。
