Unit 8 Adventure
基础练
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness in the face of so much anger made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.

It’s common knowledge that there are many benefits to being fit, but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health. In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.
New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122, 007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill (跑步机) testing and later recording death rates. Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and continue a strong and healthy fitness routine.
Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a lifestyle which involves much sitting but little activity is equal to having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.
Dr. Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. “Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis (病情预断), as far as death, than being a smoker or suffering from high blood pressure, ” Jaber said. “We’ve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this. ”
The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that extreme exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research found that the more a person exercises, the lower their death rates.
5. Which of the following best explains “skipping out on” in Paragraph 1
A. Keeping away from. B. Running in.
C. Jumping out of. D. Smoking inside.
6. What do we know from the new findings
A. An active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life.
B. The simplest cure for a major disease is exercise.
C. A person unfit on a treadmill is less likely to die.
D. One’s life span is related to the level of exercise.
7. What does Jaber think of the research results
A. Impossible. B. Amusing.
C. Unbelievable. D. Uncertain.
8. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph
A. Too much exercise will be no good.
B. A low death rate depends on an active lifestyle.
C. Extreme exercise is more harmful for health.
D. The rise of death rate is related to exercise.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families, ” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat. ”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, ” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me. ” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. ”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion(反抗) is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
1. According to the author, teenage rebellion .
A. may be a false belief
B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
2. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.
A. share family responsibility
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
3. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ______.
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Negotiation in family.
B. Education in family.
C. Harmony in family.
D. Teenage trouble in family.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families, ” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat. ”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, ” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me. ” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. ”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion(反抗) is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”

Dear Jeff,
I am writing to reply to your email regarding the Chinese idiom story competition you are going to participate in. It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet. Firstly, as there are a great number of idioms to choose from, I recommend the most commonly used ones that come from interesting stories. Additionally, many idioms are rooted in ancient myths or historical facts. Thus, I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to gain an instructive and fascinating insight into the cultural history of China. In this way, your storytelling will be highly impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Could you please tell me when and where you would like to meet I look forward to further discussion with you.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness in the face of so much anger made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
1. What was the author’s life like when he was 12
A. Boring. B. Peaceful.
C. Unhappy. D. Meaningful.
2. How did the volunteer work benefit the author
A. It made him popular in his town.
B. It helped him find the meaning of life.
C. It helped him understand others’ lives better.
D. It helped to shape his dream career.
3. Why did the author choose writing as his job
A. He was inspired by his teacher.
B. He could pass positive energy to readers.
C. He wanted to share his school experiences.

It’s common knowledge that there are many benefits to being fit, but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health. In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.
New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122, 007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill (跑步机) testing and later recording death rates. Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and continue a strong and healthy fitness routine.
Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a lifestyle which involves much sitting but little activity is equal to having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.
Dr. Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. “Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis (病情预断), as far as death, than being a smoker or suffering from high blood pressure, ” Jaber said. “We’ve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this. ”
The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that extreme exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research found that the more a person exercises, the lower their death rates.
5. Which of the following best explains “skipping out on” in Paragraph 1
A. Keeping away from. B. Running in.
C. Jumping out of. D. Smoking inside.
6. What do we know from the new findings
A. An active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life.
B. The simplest cure for a major disease is exercise.
C. A person unfit on a treadmill is less likely to die.
D. One’s life span is related to the level of exercise.
7. What does Jaber think of the research results
A. Impossible. B. Amusing.
C. Unbelievable. D. Uncertain.
8. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph
A. Too much exercise will be no good.
B. A low death rate depends on an active lifestyle.
C. Extreme exercise is more harmful for health.
D. The rise of death rate is related to exercise.

Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.

It’s common knowledge that there are many benefits to being fit, but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health. In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.
New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122, 007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill (跑步机) testing and later recording death rates. Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and continue a strong and healthy fitness routine.
Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a lifestyle which involves much sitting but little activity is equal to having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.
Dr. Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. “Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis (病情预断), as far as death, than being a smoker or suffering from high blood pressure, ” Jaber said. “We’ve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this. ”
The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that extreme exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research found that the more a person exercises, the lower their death rates.
【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。研究表明, 更长寿、更健康的生活和高水平的运动之间有着明显的联系。该研究呼吁卫生保健专业人员鼓励患者实现并继续保持健康的健身计划。
5. Which of the following best explains “skipping out on” in Paragraph 1
A. Keeping away from. B. Running in.
C. Jumping out of. D. Smoking inside.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。由第一段“. . . but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health. In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking. ”可知, 一项新的大型研究发现, 不去健身房实际上是对健康最不利的事情。事实上, 研究表明, 不锻炼可能比吸烟对你的健康更有害。通过对“the worst thing”以及“In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking. ”可以看出, 以上都在说明不运动对于健康的不良影响。所以判断出第一段中的skipping out on的意思是keeping away from“远离”。故A选项正确。
6. What do we know from the new findings
A. An active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life.
B. The simplest cure for a major disease is exercise.
C. A person unfit on a treadmill is less likely to die.
D. One’s life span is related to the level of exercise.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第二段“Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. ”可知, 研究人员发现, 更长寿、更健康的生活和高水平的运动之间有着明显的联系。所以一个人的寿命长短与运动水平的高低有关系。故D选项正确。
7. What does Jaber think of the research results
A. Impossible. B. Amusing.
C. Unbelievable. D. Uncertain.
【解析】选C。情感态度题。由第四段“Dr. Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. . . Jaber said. “We’ve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this”可知, 该研究的合著者Wael Jaber博士称这一结果完全出乎意料。Jaber说, “我们从未见过如此引人注目、如此客观的事情。”所以Jaber博士认为研究结果难以置信。故C选项正确。
8. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph
A. Too much exercise will be no good.
B. A low death rate depends on an active lifestyle.
C. Extreme exercise is more harmful for health.
D. The rise of death rate is related to exercise.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。由最后一段“the research found that the more a person exercises, the lower their death rates. ”可知, 研究发现, 一个人运动得越多, 死亡率就越低。人运动得越多表明人的生活方式越积极, 人的死亡率就越低。所以通过研究发现判断出, 低死亡率取决于积极的生活方式。故B选项正确。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families, ” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat. ”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, ” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me. ” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. ”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion(反抗) is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”

6. 【解析】第六句the去掉。表示“棋类”的名词前不加冠词。
7. 【解析】第六句boring→bored。表示“感到厌烦的”, 用bored。
8. 【解析】第七句but→and。前后句子为并列关系, 所以改为and。
9. 【解析】第七句make→making。before为介词, 所以后面用making。

Dear Jeff,
I am writing to reply to your email regarding the Chinese idiom story competition you are going to participate in. It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet. Firstly, as there are a great number of idioms to choose from, I recommend the most commonly used ones that come from interesting stories. Additionally, many idioms are rooted in ancient myths or historical facts. Thus, I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to gain an instructive and fascinating insight into the cultural history of China. In this way, your storytelling will be highly impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Could you please tell me when and where you would like to meet I look forward to further discussion with you.
Yours,
Li Hua
