I
played
a
racquetball
game
against
my
cousin
Ed
last
week.
It
was
one
of
the
most
1
and
tiring
games
I’ve
ever
had.
When
Ed
first
phoned
and
2
we
play
together,
I
laughed
quietly,
figuring
on
an
easy
victory.
After
all,
Ed’s
idea
of
3
has
always
been
nothing
more
effort-making
than
lifting
a
fork
to
his
mouth.
4
I
can
remember,
Ed’s
been
the
least
physically
fit
member
in
the
family,
and
5
proud
of
himself.
His
big
stomach
has
always
ballooned
out
between
his
T-shirt
and
trousers.
?
Although
the
family
often
6
about
that,
Ed
refused
to
buy
a
larger
T-shirt
or
to
lose
weight.
So
when
Ed
7
for
our
game
not
only
with
the
bottom
of
his
shirt
gathered
inside
his
trousers
but
also
with
a
stomach
you
could
hardly
8 ,
I
was
so
surprised
that
I
was
speechless.
My
cousin
must
have
made
an
effort
to
get
himself
into
shape.
9 ,
at
the
point
in
our
game
when
I’
d
have
predicted(预计)the
score
to
be
about
9
to
1
in
my
favor,
it
was
instead
7
to
9
—
and
Ed
was
10 .
The
sudden
realization
was
painful.
We
11
to
play
like
two
mad
men.
When
the
score
was
16
up,
I
was
having
serious
12
about
staying
alive
until
21
years
old,
let
alone
(更不用说)
13
that

points.
When
the
game
finally
ended,
both
of
us
were
lying
flat
on
our
backs,
too
tired

In

2.阅读理解
A
Short
and
shy,
Ben
Saunders
was
the
last
kid
in
his
class
picked
for
any
sports
team.
“Football,
tennis,
Cricket—anything
with
a
round
ball,
I
was
useless.
”he
says
now
with
a
laugh.
But
back
then
he
was
the
object
of
jokes
in
school
gym
classes
in
England’s
rural
Devonshire.
It
was
a
mountain
bike
he
received
for
his
15th
birthday
that
changed
him.
At
first
the
teen
went
biking
alone
in
a
nearby
forest.
Then
he
began
to
cycle
along
with
a
runner
friend.
Gradually,
Saunders
set
his
mind
on
building
up
his
body,
increasing
his
speed,
strength
and
endurance.
At
age
18,
he
ran
his
first
marathon.
The
following
year,
he
met
John
Ridgway,
who
became
famous
in
the
1960s
for
rowing
an
open
boat
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
Saunders
was
hired
as
an
instructor
at
Ridgway’s
school
of
Adventure
in
Scotland,
where
he
learned
about
the
older
man’s
cold-water
achievements.
Intrigued,
Saunders
read
all
he
could
about
Arctic
explorers
and
North
Pole
expeditions,
then
decided
that
this
would
be
his
future.
Journeys
to
the
Pole
aren’t
the
usual
holidays
for
British
country
boys,
and
many
people
dismissed
his
dream
as
fantasy.
“John
Ridgway
was
one
of
the
few
who
didn’t
say,
’You
are
completely
crazy,
’”
Saunders
says.
In
2001,
after
becoming
a
skilled
skier,
Saunders
started
his
first
long-distance
expedition
toward
the
North
Pole.
He
suffered
frostbite,
had
a
closer
experience
with
a
polar
bear
and
pushed
his
body
to
the
limit.
Saunders
has
since
become
the
youngest
person
to
ski
alone
to
the
North
Pole,
and
he’s
skied
more
of
the
Arctic
by
himself
than
any
other
Briton.
His
old
playmates
would
not
believe
the
transformation.
This
October,
Saunders,
27,
heads
south
to
explore
from
the
coast
of
Antarctica
to
the
South
Pole
and
back,
an
1,
800-mile
journey
that
has
never
been
completed
on
skis.
1.
The
turning
point
in
Saunders’s
life
came
when______.
?
A.
he
started
to
play
ball
games
B.
he
started
to
receive
Ridgway’s
training
C.
he
ran
his
first
marathon
at
age
18
D.
he
got
a
mountain
bike
at
age
15

about
Saunders?
A.
He
once
worked
at
a
school
in
Scotland.
B.
He
followed
Ridgway
to
explore
the
North
Pole.
C.
He

3.阅读填句
We’ve
all
been
there.
Just
when
you’re
getting
used
to
your
new
workout
routine,
suddenly
your
knee
is
killing
you.
1
Before
injury
strikes,
listen
to
these
signs
that
might
show
your
body
needs
some
time
off.
?
You’re
always
sore
(酸疼).
2
But
if
you’re
exercising
regularly,
you
shouldn’t
constantly
be
feeling
sore.
You
should
always
give
your
muscles
24
to
48
hours
to
recover
between
training
sessions.
If
you
still
feel
sore,
it’s
possible
you’re
overtraining.
?
3
Anger,
anxiety,
and
tiredness
are
also
signs.
It
is
known
that
exercise
can
make
us
happier
because
of
endorphins—a
stress-fighting
chemical—in
the
brain.
However,
those
endorphins
are
also
accompanied
by
cortisol,
a
stress
chemical.
And
when
cortisol
levels
remain
high
for
an
extended
period,
they
cause
harm
on
mental
health.
?
Your
heart
rate
is
abnormal.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
tell
if
you’ve
been
overtraining
is
to
check
your
heart
rate.
If
you’re
above
your
normal,
then
your
body
is
not
really
ready
for
a
hard
workout
that
day.
4
?
The
best
thing
about
noticing
these
symptoms
(症状)?
5
A
little
R&R
(rest
and
recovery)
is
just
what
your
body
ordered!
?
A.
You’re
constantly
tired
or
emotional.
B.
Yes,
you’ve
over-worked
yourself
into
an
injury.
C.
Fortunately,
recovery
is
simple
—
just
take
it
easy
for
a
few
days!
D.
That’s
one
of
the
best
ways
to
judge
your
readiness
to
exercise.
E.
Sure,
a
bit
of
muscle
soreness
after
some
workout
is
totally
normal.
F.
It’s
much
easier
to
relax
and
check
heart
rate
than
to
recover
from
an
injury.
G.
Doing
the
same
activity
over
and
over
without
proper
recovery
is
going
to
cause
injury.
参考答案:
1.完形填空
1.C。句意:
这是一场我曾打过的最令人吃惊的、最累人的比赛之一。
encouraging
鼓舞人心的;
hopeless
无助的;
surprising
令人惊叹的;
regular
规律的。运用前后照应法读完整篇文章,
不难得出作者与表兄弟(Ed)间的这场球赛是令他吃惊不已(surprising)、疲惫不堪的。故选C。
2.D。句意:
当表弟打电话提议一起打球时,
我心中窃喜。
declare宣布;
mention提及;
persuade劝说;
suggest建议。注意play用的原形,
只有suggest可后接“that
(+should)+
动词原形”结构。其他三项不能用于此结构。故选D。
3.A。句意:
毕竟表弟Ed以为运动就是动动碗筷。
exercise
练习、运动;
preparation
准备;
joy快乐;
fitness
健康。文章中提到的是像打壁球赛这样的运动(exercise)。由文中可看出后三项不合原文。故选A。
4.B。句意:
据我的回忆,
表弟是家里身体最不健康的人。
As
soon
as
一……就……;
As
long
as
只要;
When
当时;
Since
自从。尽(as
long
as)作者所能记忆的,
remember是持续性动词,
与表示持续意义的as
long
as(像……一样长;
只要……)连用,
引导条件状语从句。as
soon
as,
when,
since三项均表示短暂意义,
通常与短暂性动词连用。故选B。
5.A。句意:
很奇怪表弟竟然以自己为豪。strangely
奇怪地;
personally
个人,
亲自;
reasonably
合理地;
eagerly
渴望地。Ed是整个家庭中身体健康状况最差的人,
而他却莫名其妙地(strangely)感到自豪。作者用strangely表示不理解其行为。故选A。
6.D。句意:
尽管家人总拿他的样子开玩笑。care关心;
forget
忘记;
quarrel争吵;
joke开玩笑。对于Ed的鼓胀得像气球似的大肚子,
家人为此常逗乐(joked)。故选D。
7.C。句意:
所以当Ed到来比赛之时,
你几乎看不到他大腹便便的样子。set
out
开始;
get
ready
准备好;
arrive到达;
return返回,
返还。arrived指Ed的到来,
因为后文写作者看到Ed的情况。returned表示“返回”行为,
set
out
(动身,
出发),
got
ready(准备好)均表示起始动作,
均与文意不符。arrive为终结性行为。故选C。
8.A。句意:
Ed把衣服扎进裤子里,
作者几乎看不出肚子来。
notice
注意到;
admire
钦佩;
believe
相信;
measure
测量。故选A。
9.B。句意:
结果在我预计比分将会是9比1大胜他的时候,
比分却是7比9。
After
all
毕竟;
As
a
result结果;
Above
all
毕竟;
At
last
最后。由上文可知,
作者认为这次壁球比赛自己获胜不在话下,
而该句表明估计错误,
结果与自己预计的不同,
故as
a
result能表示作者此时的心态,
as
a
result暗含“出乎意料”之意。故选B。
10.A。句意:
Ed比分领先了。lead领导;
come到达;
wait等待;
count数数。根据上面比分相反,
可以判断出Ed领先(leading)了。故选A。
11.C。句意:
我们发疯似的继续比赛。
pretend假装;
stop停止;
continue继续;
decide决定。后面提到分数已经到16了,
说明他们俩从“7:
9”之后仍是在发疯似的继续(continued)比赛。故选C。
12.B。句意:
我开始严肃地怀疑自己能否活到21岁。thoughts
想法;
doubts
怀疑;
situations
情况;
problems
问题。故选B。
13.A。句意:
更不要说获得这些分数。score得分;
complete完成;
receive收到;
keep保持。作者更对自己能取得那么多的得分感到怀疑。故选A。
14.D。句意:
比赛结束时,
我们两个疲惫不堪不愿意动。play
玩耍;
start开始;
sleep
睡觉;
move
移动。比赛结束后,
双方都仰卧平躺,
疲惫不堪,
连动一动(move)都不行了。故选D。
15.B。句意:
某种程度上来说,
我们俩都获胜了,
我赢得了比赛,
表弟赢得了尊重。friendship友谊;
respect
尊重;
support
支持;
favor
喜爱。作者虽赢了比赛,
可Ed却赢得了作者对他的尊敬(respect)。故选B。

show
your

2.

if
you’re
exercising
