Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2021·长春模拟]As
Simon
Kindleysides,
34,
took
his
first
step
in
the
London
Marathon
in
April,
he
felt
as
if
magic
was
in
the
air.
“As
we
were
walking
toward
the
first
mile,
we
actually
started
joining
all
the
runners,”
he
said.
“Everyone
was
on
the
streets,
cheering,
and
that
was
a
magical
moment.”
As
time
went
on,
the
crowds
and
other
racers
spread
around.
Kindleysides
and
his
team
of
eight
supporters
continued
walking.
Kindleysides,
who
is
paralyzed
(瘫痪的)
from
the
waist
down
and
typically
uses
a
wheelchair,
was
equipped
with
an
exoskeleton
(体外骨骼)
to
help
him
walk.
His
supporters
walked
with
him
to
change
the
batteries
in
his
exoskeleton
so
he
could
keep
moving.
In
2013,
Kindleysides
was
diagnosed
with
a
brain
tumor
(肿瘤)
that
was
growing
in
a
way
that
pressed
on
certain
nerves,
leading
to
him
losing
feeling
in
his
legs.
He
was
told
he
would
never
walk
again.
Before
his
paralysis,
the
Londonbased
singer
and
dancer
had
“always
wanted
to
run
a
marathon,”
he
said,
but
he
never
made
the
plan
to
do
so—until
this
year.
During
the
London
Marathon,
the
last
two
miles
were
the
hardest.
“At
that
point,
I
was
exhausted.
It
was
freezing
cold,
and
I
was
hurting
emotionally,”
Kindleysides
said.
But
he
kept
going.
“I
didn't
want
to
let
people
down.
I
had
a
team
of
eight,
and
I
was
raising
money
for
The
Brain
Tumour
Charity,”
he
said.
“I
didn't
want
to
let
them
down,
myself
down,
and
I
thought
if
I
would
get
this
far,
I
would
have
to
continue.”So
he
continued
and
made
history
as
the
first
paralyzed
man
to
complete
the
London
Marathon
on
foot.
Then,
recovering
at
home,
he
shared
his
accomplishment
with
his
three
children.
“They
used
to
say
I'm
the
only
dad
in
their
whole
school
who's
in
a
wheelchair,
and
now
they
say
I'm
their
dad,
the
only
one
who
has
walked
a
marathon,”
he
said.
Kindleysides
is
training
to
complete
three
more
marathons
next
year,
including
the
London
Marathon
again.
1.Why
did
Kindleysides'
supporters
accompany
him
all
the
way?
A.To
inspire
him
as
a
team.
B.To
help
change
the
batteries.
C.To
guide
him
along
the
road.
D.To
assist
him
with
the
wheelchair.
2.What
caused
Kindleysides'
disability?
A.An
accident
in
the
previous
marathon.
B.An
operation
on
his
brain
for
the
tumor.
C.Some
nerves
produced
out
of
the
tumor.
D.The
pressure
from
the
brain
tumor
on
the
nerves.
3.What
partly
supported
Kindleysides
to
finish
the
hardest
twomile
race?
A.The
belief
to
beat
others.
B.The
strong
desire
to
recover.
C.The
kindness
to
help
the
charity.
D.The
prize
money
for
the
winner.
4.What
can
we
learn
about
Kindleysides?
A.He
was
once
a
successful
actor.
B.His
children
feel
a
pity
for
him
in
the
wheelchair
now.
C.He
is
ambitious
for
joining
in
London
marathons
once
more.
D.He
was
the
first
disabledman
to
complete
the
London
Marathon.
B
[2021·沈阳模拟]Ten
minutes
of
gentle
exercise
can
immediately
change
how
certain
parts
of
the
brain
communicate
and
coordinate
(协调)
with
one
another
and
improve
memory
function,
according
to
an
encouraging
new
study.
The
scientists
invited
36
people
of
different
ages
to
the
lab
and
had
them
sit
quietly
on
a
fixed
bicycle
for
10
minutes
or,
on
a
separate
visit,
pedal
the
bicycle
at
a
pace
so
gentle
that
it
barely
raised
their
heart
rates.
It
also
was
short,
lasting
for
only
10
minutes.
Immediately
after
each
session
of
the
sitting
or
slow
pedaling,
the
people
completed
a
computerized
memory
test
during
which
they
would
see
a
brief
picture
of,
for
instance,
a
tree,
followed
by
a
variety
of
other
images
and
then
a
new
image
of
either
the
same
tree
or
a
similar
one.
The
people
would
press
buttons
to
show
whether
they
thought
each
image
was
new
or
the
same
as
an
earlier
shot.
The
test
is
difficult,
since
many
of
the
images
closely
resemble
one
another.
It
requires
rapid,
skillful
scanning
recent
memories
to
decide
whether
a
picture
is
new
or
known.
Next,
the
scientists
had
each
person
repeat
this
process—riding
or
sitting
on
the
bike
for
10
minutes
and
then
completing
memory
testing—but
the
testing
now
took
place
inside
an
M.
R.
I.
machine
(磁共振成像仪)
that
scanned
the
people's
brains
while
they
responded
to
the
images.
Then
the
researchers
compared
results.
The
effects
of
the
exercise
were
clear.
The
people
were
better
at
remembering
images
after
they
had
ridden
the
bike,
especially
when
the
images
most
closely
resembled
one
another.
In
other
words,
the
harder
their
memories
had
to
do
their
best,
the
better
they
performed
after
the
exercise.
The
M.
R.
I.
scans
showed
that
memory
parts
of
each
person's
brain
lit
up
at
the
same
time
with
parts
of
the
brain
associated
with
learning,
indicating
that
these
physically
separate
parts
of
the
brain
were
better
connected
now
than
when
the
people
had
not
first
exercised.
5.How
did
the
researchers
conduct
the
study?
A.By
filling
up
questionnaires.
B.By
interviewing
many
people.
C.By
comparing
experiment
data.
D.By
referring
to
historical
reports.
6.Who
might
benefit
most
from
the
study
result?
A.The
marketers
promoting
fixed
bicycles.
B.The
young
people
crazy
about
body
building.
C.The
white
collars
doing
longterm
mental
work.
D.The
bluecollars
doing
heavy
physical
labor
work.
7.Which
of
the
following
statements
agrees
with
the
study
result?
A.The
light
exercise
is
only
good
for
young
people.
B.The
more
the
exercise
is,
the
better
the
brain
works.
C.The
exercise
can
coordinate
different
parts
of
the
body.
D.The
exercise
has
more
positive
effect
when
the
brain
works
harder.
8.What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.Even
Ten
Minutes'
Exercise
May
Be

B.There

Ⅱ.七选五
[2021·黄山模拟]Sports
offer
kids
the
ability
to
exercise
while
having
fun,
the
chance
to
learn
how
to
play
as
a
team,
and
a
good
way
to
develop
athletic
skills.
Despite
these
benefits,
70%
of
kids
quit
sports
by
the
age
of
13.
__1__.
◆__2__.
Have
you
ever
watched
kindergarteners
play
soccer
against
another
team
of
kindergarteners?
It
is
both
enjoyable
and
amusing.
No
matter
what
the
score,
all
the
kids
have
a
good
time
and
are
happy.
__3__.
The
focus
changes
from
having
fun
to
practicing
skills.
Only
the
preteens
with
the
best
skills
can
get
the
most
time
in
the
game.
What
was
a
fun
activity
at
age
5
becomes
a
source
of
stress
and
pressure
for
a
preteen.
Those
who
are
not
among
the
most
talented
players
tend
to
quit
and
find
something
else
they
might
be
good
at.
◆
It
costs
more.
__4__.
Parents
of
a
preteen
are
going
to
need
to
purchase
a
uniform,
gear,
and
equipment.
Teams
need
to
travel
to
compete
against
teams
from
other
schools
or
districts.
Parents
who
want
to
watch
the
games
now
have
extra
gas
costs
to
deal
with.
Therefore,
when
an
activity
becomes
expensive,
parents
start
pushing
their
preteen
to
do
well
in
it.
Perhaps
the
parents
complain
that
if
their
preteen
is
sitting
on
the
bench,
or
isn't
the
star
player,
the
money
wasn't
worth
it.
This
adds
extra
pressure
on
a
preteen
who
might
quit
the
team.
◆
It's
the
age.
Parents
need
to
remember
that
preteens
are
going
through
a
lot
of
changes.
Their
bodies
are
changing.
School
has
become
more
challenging
(and
requires
them
to
manage
a
lot
of
homework).
__5__
If
your
preteen's
friends
quit
playing
soccer,
your
preteen
might
quit
as
well.
A.It

being
fun.
B.Here

reasons
why
that

C.Their

D.The

E.As

Recently
I
have
found
that
some
classmates
lead
an
unhealthy
life,
such
as
staying
up
late
and
not

breakfast.
Although
we
are
under
great
pressure
of
study
in
senior
high
school,
it
is
necessary
for
us
to
live
a
healthy
life.
First,
it's
important
that
we
have
a
balanced
diet
and
enjoy
breakfast
every
day.
Second,
taking
regular
exercise
is
of
equal
importance,
which
can
help
us
to
keep
fit
and
release
stress.
More
importantly,
we
should
develop
a
positive
attitude,
no

what
happens.
Lead
a
healthy

and
you
will
encounter
a
better

in
yourself.
