Four Fun Runs Even Non-Runners Will Enjoy
Even people who swear they hate running will manage to enjoy these races that somehow make the sport fun.
Hot Chocolate 5K
Do you want a steaming cup of cocoa and lots of chocolate on a cold morning run?At the Hot Chocolate 5K series those are exactly what await you at the finish line.There are prizes given to the top three male and female finishers,but casual participation is encouraged.The events are scheduled in the cooler months in major cities around the country.
The Color Run
The Color Run,also known as the Happiest 5K on the Planet,is an event where runners wear white clothes and are painted from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer,crossing the finish line in a variety of colors.The runners are not be timed,which removes runners’ pressure of keeping a specific pace or worrying about the placing.
Disney Running Series
Why not combine a trip to the happiest place on earth with a little exercise?Run Disney offers a number of half-marathon and marathon weekend packages,many of which also feature the more accessible 5K distance.On Disneyland’s Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend,Friday features a Spiderman-themed 5K,while the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend runs a family-friendly 5K through Epcot.
Running with the Balloons
This cross-country 3.1-mile race in Reddington Township,New Jersey,aims to create a new challenge.But,the highlight is the launch of more than 100 hot air balloons during the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning,the largest summertime hot air balloon and music festival in North America.The motivation?The top male finisher and the top female finisher will each win a free ride in a hot air balloon!

2.C细节理解题。根据Disney Running Series部分中的“while the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend runs a family-friendly 5K through Epcot”可知,Disney Running Series这项赛事适合家庭成员一起在周末参加。故选C。

Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot.When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight,she became so fearful of crutches(拐杖) that she didn’t move for three weeks.“I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself.So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day,” says Emma.
She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly(季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014.“If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year,one in each season,you can get Alpha Wolf status,” explains Emma.“This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I’d lose my status.” So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.
“I was telling my friend that I was going to quit,but he persuaded me to give it a go.Having something to aim for really kept me going.” Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0,which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg,allowing users to walk freely.“I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery.I could move around the house and start getting out and about again,which had a real impact on my mental well-being.”
On the day of the race,Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated.Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up(达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years.“It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going,” says Emma.
4.Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?
A.She was afraid of recovering slowly.
B.She was warned not to move around.
C.She just had an operation on her foot.
D.She often got injured when using them.
5.What does the underlined word “gutted” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Extremely sad. B.A bit relieved.
C.Very surprised. D.Pretty cheerful.
6.What actually made Emma take part in the race?
A.Her new hi-tech artificial leg.
B.Her fear of letting her friend down.
C.Her strong desire to achieve her ambition.
D.Her complete recovery from the operation.
7.Which of the following best describes Emma?
A.Strong-willed. B.Supportive.
C.Creative. D.Humorous.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。喜欢寻求冒险的Emma在攀岩时不幸摔断了踝关节,做了手术并在家休养。在康复过程中,她凭借自己的决心,在医疗设备的帮助下,完成了跑步比赛。
4.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself.”可知,Emma在使用拐杖的时候经常摔倒并弄伤自己,所以她害怕使用拐杖。故选D。
5.A词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句中的“missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly(季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014”以及第三句中的“I was really upset that I’d lose my status”可推知,此处表示一想到自己要错过这次的Wolf Run,Emma就感到十分伤心。故选A。
6.C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句和第四段尾句中的“It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going”可推知,Emma想要完成比赛的强烈愿望促使她参加了该比赛。故选C。
7.A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.”以及第四段第二句“Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up(达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years.”可知,即使脚踝受伤,Emma也要设法完成比赛;而且这已经是她在六年里第23次完成这项赛事了。由此可推知,Emma是一个意志坚强的人。故选A。
C
As the most popular individual sport in America,jogging has enjoyed great popularity among people.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is the exercise that develops the heart,lungs,and circulatory systems.If these systems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease,the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed—a good pair of shoes.Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe.Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible.A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock,as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel-cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability.A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot,ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed;you can jog in any clothing you desire,even your street clothes.In cold weather,several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat.If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing,they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run.The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk to a thirty-minute run.A measure of common sense,a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.
8.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.It introduces jogging as a useful and practical sport.
B.It describes the type of clothing needed for jogging.
C.It distinguishes between jogging and other sport events.
D.It provides scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging.
9.Why is wearing several layers of clothing in winter better recommended?
A.It can keep warmer.
B.It is a popular trend.
C.It looks much more fashionable.
D.It’s easier to adjust flexibly.
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Jogging needs no special equipment but long-time practice.
B.For beginning joggers,tennis or gym shoes are better choices.
C.Jogging can do good to the heart,lungs and help reduce heart disease.
D.A pair of good running shoes with a full heel-cup is designed to prevent shock.
11.What’s the author’s attitude towards jogging?
A.Skeptical. B.Supportive.
C.Neutral. D.Objective.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国慢跑运动很流行,跑步对人们身体有益,唯一需要的就是一双好的跑鞋。美国慢跑协会也重视此项运动。
8A主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.”可知,第一段总体概述了慢跑的好处。第二段是对慢跑作用的说明。第三段介绍了此项运动只需要准备跑鞋,方便实行。
9.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing,they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.”可知,慢跑者可以灵活增减衣服。
10.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease”可知,慢跑对心肺有好处且可以减少心脏疾病。
11.B观点态度题。根据第一段中的“The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.”可知,慢跑便宜、快速,并且所需装备少。根据最后一段中的“A measure of common sense,a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.”可知,慢跑很简单。因此作者对其持支持态度。

In order to improve people’s sleep,experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness.Among their recommendations:engage in regular exercise,establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time.But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep:diet.
A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep,and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices.Dr.St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep.In this research,she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days,providing them regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night.On the fifth day,the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.
Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties,it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet.They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables,fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep,which is the deep kind.In general,the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep:People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.
But the quality of carbs matters.In fact,they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep.Dr.St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs—such as white bread and pasta—they wake up more frequently throughout the night.In other words,eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster,but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber,which may help you obtain more deep,healthy sleep.
12.Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep?
A.Regular exercise. B.Bedtime schedule.
C.Screen time. D.Proper diet.
13.What does the research conducted by Dr.St-Onge suggest?
A.We can have a better sleep with all carbs.
B.Sleep and diet can influence each other.
C.Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets.
D.We’d better focus on one or two specific food.
14.In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”?
A.Carbs are essential to better sleep.
B.Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.
C.Carbs can be consumed as many as possible.
D.Carbs should be taken in frequently.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet
B.A Method of Having a Good Sleep
C.The Relation between Sleep and Diet
D.The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近一项关于睡眠和饮食的研究,研究发现人们在晚上吃高碳水化合物食物比吃高脂肪或高蛋白食物更容易入睡,但这也要取决于碳水化合物的质量,吃含有纤维的“复合”碳水化合物,才可以帮助你获得更深、更健康的睡眠。
12.D细节理解题。根据第一段中“But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep:diet.”可知,适当的饮食这一因素在睡眠不好时可能被忽略。故选D。
13.C细节理解题。根据第三段中“In general,the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep:People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.”可知,St-Onge博士的研究表明了碳水化合物比高脂肪饮食更容易让人入睡。故选C。
14.B细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知,在碳水化合物的影响取决于它的质量的情况下,我们才能说碳水化合物的质量很重要。故选B。
15.A标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了最近一项关于睡眠和饮食的研究,研究发现人们在晚上吃高碳水化合物食物比吃高脂肪或高蛋白食物更容易入睡,但这也要取决于碳水化合物的质量,吃含有纤维的“复合”碳水化合物,才可以帮助你获得更深、更健康的睡眠。可知,A选项“最近一项关于睡眠和饮食的研究”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter.There are a few things you can do to make sure that you are getting the most out of your run,and,importantly,not doing more harm than good.
Warm up,cool down
1 .Your muscles need some time to warm up when it’s cold,so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches once you’re finished.
Drink water
You might not feel hot,but that’s because sweat evaporates(蒸发) more quickly into the chilly,dry air.So be sure to drink water before,during and after cold-weather workouts. 2 .A belt bottle is conveniently attached to your waist so you don’t have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.
3
Running in cotton is a bad idea.Wear thin,breathable layers of synthetic(合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow,but still let out heat and moisture(水分).Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head.Wear a hat,or beanie(无檐小便帽),and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body. 4 .
Run into the wind
5 .Obviously,it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature.But,more importantly,you won’t have the wind in your face for the second half of your run,when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.
A.Dress right
B.Keep warm
C.Don’t go too fast,too soon
D.Start and finish in the same way
E.Don’t wait to drink water until you feel thirsty
F.Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back
G.On really cold days,wear a mask or a scarf over your mouth to protect your face
1.C根据空后内容“当天气冷的时候,你的肌肉需要一些时间来热身,所以当你出发的时候放松一下,完成后做一些伸展运动”可知,C项(不要走得太快、太早)符合语境。
2.E根据小标题Drink water和空后的“A belt bottle is conveniently attached to your waist so you don’t have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.”可知,E项(不要等到渴了再喝水)符合语境。
3.A整段都在介绍运动时合适的穿着,故A项(恰当地穿戴)符合语境,适合作本段小标题。
4.G根据本段内容可知,在寒冷的冬天,除了穿上合适的衣服、戴上帽子,还可以戴上口罩或围巾来保护自己的脸。所以G项(在非常寒冷的日子里,戴上口罩或围巾来保护你的脸)符合语境。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
According to 1. new study by the WHO(World Health Organization),about 25 percent of adults worldwide do not get enough exercise.Because of this,about 1.4 billion people are 2. greater risk of developing 3. (dead) diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
When it comes to 4. (exercise) more,experts say that people needn’t go to the gym every day.There are other ways to exercise.For example,we can take the stairs instead of taking an elevator.And standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day 5. (be) also good for our health.
The study also finds that women are less active than men because 6. (them) tend to spend more time at home taking care of 7. (child) and doing housework.
Countries with higher incomes show higher rates of inactivity.For example,people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less 8. people in Uganda and Nepal.This is partly because in 9. (develop) areas,desk jobs have taken the place of physical labor and cars 10.
(replace) walking.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织的一项新的研究发现,全世界大约有25%的成年人缺乏足够的锻炼;女性由于要照顾孩子和做家务,与男性相比锻炼得更少。此外,高收入国家的人们比低收入国家的人们锻炼得少。
1.a考查冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一项新的研究”,故用不定冠词;又由new的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.at考查介词。此处表示正因为如此,约有14亿人有较大的患心脏病和癌症等致命疾病的风险。at risk of...“有……的风险”。
3.deadly考查词性转换。该处指“致命的疾病”,故用形容词deadly“致命的”,修饰名词diseases。
4.exercising考查非谓语动词。when it comes to doing sth.为固定用法,意为“当涉及做某事时”,故空处应用动名词形式。
5.is考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处为客观描述,应用一般现在时,又该句主语为动名词短语“standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day”,谓语动词应用单数形式,故填is。
6.they考查代词。空处作从句的主语,故用主格they。
7.children考查名词的复数。从句的主语为复数,故此处照顾的孩子也不止一个,故该处用名词的复数形式children。
8.than考查比较级的标志词。根据空前的副词比较级less可知,该处表示比较,意为“比”,故填than。
9.developed考查形容词。由上文可知,科威特人和美国人比乌干达人和尼泊尔人锻炼得少;结合常识可知,这是因为在发达地区,伏案工作已经取代了体力劳动,汽车已经取代了步行。故空处用形容词developed(发达的)修饰名词areas。
10.have replaced考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处与该句前半句中的现在完成时相呼应,应用现在完成时;又主语cars为复数,故填have replaced。

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。
Jatin and his younger sister,Neha,lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job,and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months,the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).
One day,Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,but he lost them on the way home.It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes.Neha’s school hours were in the morning,so she would wear them first.After school,she would rush back and give them to Jatin.He could then run to his school,which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long-distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city.When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Jatin had a strong start,but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,determined to finish third.Suddenly,as the finish line drew near,another runner collided(碰撞)with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.
Filled with pleasure,Jatin walked home in no time.
参考范文
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.Refusing to give up at this crucial point,Jatin clenched his teeth,jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could.Finally,he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line.Jatin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down.But much to his surprise,the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Jatin won the third prize.Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony,holding the shoes close to his chest.
Filled with pleasure,Jatin walked home in no time.He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news.On his arrival,Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously.“Neha,see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly,taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands.The instant Neha saw the shoes,her face lit up.So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Jatin.“Thank you!Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

The Color Run
The Color Run,also known as the Happiest 5K on the Planet,is an event where runners wear white clothes and are painted from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer,crossing the finish line in a variety of colors.The runners are not be timed,which removes runners’ pressure of keeping a specific pace or worrying about the placing.

Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot.When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight,she became so fearful of crutches(拐杖) that she didn’t move for three weeks.“I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself.So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day,” says Emma.
She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly(季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014.“If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year,one in each season,you can get Alpha Wolf status,” explains Emma.“This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I’d lose my status.” So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.
“I was telling my friend that I was going to quit,but he persuaded me to give it a go.Having something to aim for really kept me going.” Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0,which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg,allowing users to walk freely.“I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery.I could move around the house and start getting out and about again,which had a real impact on my mental well-being.”
On the day of the race,Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated.Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up(达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years.“It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going,” says Emma.
4.Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?
A.She was afraid of recovering slowly.
B.She was warned not to move around.
C.She just had an operation on her foot.
D.She often got injured when using them.
5.What does the underlined word “gutted” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Extremely sad. B.A bit relieved.
C.Very surprised. D.Pretty cheerful.
6.What actually made Emma take part in the race?
A.Her new hi-tech artificial leg.
B.Her fear of letting her friend down.
C.Her strong desire to achieve her ambition.
D.Her complete recovery from the operation.
7.Which of the following best describes Emma?
A.Strong-willed. B.Supportive.
C.Creative. D.Humorous.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。喜欢寻求冒险的Emma在攀岩时不幸摔断了踝关节,做了手术并在家休养。在康复过程中,她凭借自己的决心,在医疗设备的帮助下,完成了跑步比赛。
4.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself.”可知,Emma在使用拐杖的时候经常摔倒并弄伤自己,所以她害怕使用拐杖。故选D。
5.A词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句中的“missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly(季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014”以及第三句中的“I was really upset that I’d lose my status”可推知,此处表示一想到自己要错过这次的Wolf Run,Emma就感到十分伤心。故选A。
6.C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句和第四段尾句中的“It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going”可推知,Emma想要完成比赛的强烈愿望促使她参加了该比赛。故选C。
7.A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.”以及第四段第二句“Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up(达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years.”可知,即使脚踝受伤,Emma也要设法完成比赛;而且这已经是她在六年里第23次完成这项赛事了。由此可推知,Emma是一个意志坚强的人。故选A。
C
As the most popular individual sport in America,jogging has enjoyed great popularity among people.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is the exercise that develops the heart,lungs,and circulatory systems.If these systems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease,the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed—a good pair of shoes.Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe.Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible.A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock,as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel-cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability.A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot,ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed;you can jog in any clothing you desire,even your street clothes.In cold weather,several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat.If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing,they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run.The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk to a thirty-minute run.A measure of common sense,a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.
8.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.It introduces jogging as a useful and practical sport.
B.It describes the type of clothing needed for jogging.
C.It distinguishes between jogging and other sport events.
D.It provides scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging.
9.Why is wearing several layers of clothing in winter better recommended?
A.It can keep warmer.
B.It is a popular trend.
C.It looks much more fashionable.
D.It’s easier to adjust flexibly.
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Jogging needs no special equipment but long-time practice.
B.For beginning joggers,tennis or gym shoes are better choices.
C.Jogging can do good to the heart,lungs and help reduce heart disease.
D.A pair of good running shoes with a full heel-cup is designed to prevent shock.
11.What’s the author’s attitude towards jogging?
A.Skeptical. B.Supportive.
C.Neutral. D.Objective.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国慢跑运动很流行,跑步对人们身体有益,唯一需要的就是一双好的跑鞋。美国慢跑协会也重视此项运动。
8A主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.”可知,第一段总体概述了慢跑的好处。第二段是对慢跑作用的说明。第三段介绍了此项运动只需要准备跑鞋,方便实行。

In order to improve people’s sleep,experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness.Among their recommendations:engage in regular exercise,establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time.But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep:diet.
A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep,and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices.Dr.St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep.In this research,she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days,providing them regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night.On the fifth day,the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.
Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties,it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet.They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables,fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep,which is the deep kind.In general,the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep:People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.
But the quality of carbs matters.In fact,they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep.Dr.St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs—such as white bread and pasta—they wake up more frequently throughout the night.In other words,eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster,but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber,which may help you obtain more deep,healthy sleep.
12.Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep?
A.Regular exercise. B.Bedtime schedule.
C.Screen time. D.Proper diet.
13.What does the research conducted by Dr.St-Onge suggest?
A.We can have a better sleep with all carbs.
B.Sleep and diet can influence each other.
C.Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets.
D.We’d better focus on one or two specific food.
14.In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”?
A.Carbs are essential to better sleep.
B.Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.
C.Carbs can be consumed as many as possible.
D.Carbs should be taken in frequently.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet
B.A Method of Having a Good Sleep
C.The Relation between Sleep and Diet
D.The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter.There are a few things you can do to make sure that you are getting the most out of your run,and,importantly,not doing more harm than good.
Warm up,cool down
1 .Your muscles need some time to warm up when it’s cold,so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches once you’re finished.
Drink water
You might not feel hot,but that’s because sweat evaporates(蒸发) more quickly into the chilly,dry air.So be sure to drink water before,during and after cold-weather workouts. 2 .A belt bottle is conveniently attached to your waist so you don’t have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.
3
Running in cotton is a bad idea.Wear thin,breathable layers of synthetic(合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow,but still let out heat and moisture(水分).Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head.Wear a hat,or beanie(无檐小便帽),and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body. 4 .
Run into the wind
5 .Obviously,it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature.But,more importantly,you won’t have the wind in your face for the second half of your run,when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.
A.Dress right
B.Keep warm
C.Don’t go too fast,too soon
D.Start and finish in the same way
E.Don’t wait to drink water until you feel thirsty
F.Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back
G.On really cold days,wear a mask or a scarf over your mouth to protect your face
1.C根据空后内容“当天气冷的时候,你的肌肉需要一些时间来热身,所以当你出发的时候放松一下,完成后做一些伸展运动”可知,C项(不要走得太快、太早)符合语境。
2.E根据小标题Drink water和空后的“A belt bottle is conveniently attached to your waist so you don’t have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.”可知,E项(不要等到渴了再喝水)符合语境。
3.A整段都在介绍运动时合适的穿着,故A项(恰当地穿戴)符合语境,适合作本段小标题。
4.G根据本段内容可知,在寒冷的冬天,除了穿上合适的衣服、戴上帽子,还可以戴上口罩或围巾来保护自己的脸。所以G项(在非常寒冷的日子里,戴上口罩或围巾来保护你的脸)符合语境。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织的一项新的研究发现,全世界大约有25%的成年人缺乏足够的锻炼;女性由于要照顾孩子和做家务,与男性相比锻炼得更少。此外,高收入国家的人们比低收入国家的人们锻炼得少。
1.a考查冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一项新的研究”,故用不定冠词;又由new的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.at考查介词。此处表示正因为如此,约有14亿人有较大的患心脏病和癌症等致命疾病的风险。at risk of...“有……的风险”。
3.deadly考查词性转换。该处指“致命的疾病”,故用形容词deadly“致命的”,修饰名词diseases。
4.exercising考查非谓语动词。when it comes to doing sth.为固定用法,意为“当涉及做某事时”,故空处应用动名词形式。
5.is考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处为客观描述,应用一般现在时,又该句主语为动名词短语“standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day”,谓语动词应用单数形式,故填is。

9.developed考查形容词。由上文可知,科威特人和美国人比乌干达人和尼泊尔人锻炼得少;结合常识可知,这是因为在发达地区,伏案工作已经取代了体力劳动,汽车已经取代了步行。故空处用形容词developed(发达的)修饰名词areas。
10.have replaced考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处与该句前半句中的现在完成时相呼应,应用现在完成时;又主语cars为复数,故填have replaced。

Jatin and his younger sister,Neha,lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job,and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months,the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).
One day,Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,but he lost them on the way home.It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes.Neha’s school hours were in the morning,so she would wear them first.After school,she would rush back and give them to Jatin.He could then run to his school,which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long-distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city.When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Jatin had a strong start,but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,determined to finish third.Suddenly,as the finish line drew near,another runner collided(碰撞)with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.
Filled with pleasure,Jatin walked home in no time.
参考范文
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.Refusing to give up at this crucial point,Jatin clenched his teeth,jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could.Finally,he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line.Jatin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down.But much to his surprise,the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Jatin won the third prize.Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony,holding the shoes close to his chest.
Filled with pleasure,Jatin walked home in no time.He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news.On his arrival,Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously.“Neha,see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly,taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands.The instant Neha saw the shoes,her face lit up.So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Jatin.“Thank you!Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
