A
Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training", are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture,ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
1. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine
A. By combining different exercise types together.
B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts
C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
2. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function
A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance.
C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility.
3. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises
A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了可以产生更好的效果并减少受伤风险的四种锻炼。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“ Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.”（许多人通常只专注于一种锻炼类型，但是将所有四种锻炼都包括在内会产生更好的效果并减少受伤的风险）可知，通过将不同的运动类型组合在一起，可以让一个人从日常锻炼中受益最大。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate.”（耐力运动可提高你的呼吸和心率）以及第四段中“This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture,ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow.”（这样可以为其他运动提供更大的运动自由度，还可以改善你的运动范围，姿势，深呼吸能力和血液流动）可知，耐力和柔韧性锻炼对改善呼吸功能最有用。故选D项。
【3题详解】

【点睛】
B
I can remember when my daughter Maggie, who is now six, used to crawl into my lap and say, “Daddy, read me a story.” Last year she announced, “Daddy, I’m going to read you a story.”
Maggie was a television child. When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping, the TV set was right there, and it soon commanded her attention.
A few years ago, we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read, but that we’d forget how to read ourselves. But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV, but more reading than ever before in history.
Clearly, reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things. When I was six, a wail went up about menaces (威胁) to reading at home: motor cars and cinema. When Maggie came along, there was television. The motorcar, the radio, the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.
Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.
At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy. For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.
And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.”
4. Why do the young generation like Maggie have more access to reading
A. They face less working pressure.
B. There is more time available for reading.
C. Their parents encourage them more often.
D. They have a stronger desire for knowledge.
5. What makes the author envious of Maggie
A. Her exposure to classic reading. B. Her productive works in writing.
C. Her wild imagination in daily life. D. Her spiritual reflection on the books.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 imply
A. Maggie has rich experiences.
B. Maggie has a good plan for reading.
C. Maggie will benefit a lot from reading.
D. Maggie is on the road to becoming a genius.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Reading makes Maggie a fortunate girl.
B. More girls like Maggie enjoy telling stories.
C. Maggie’s daughter brings her the biggest thrill.
D. It is a blessing that reading can be passed down.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了作者六岁的女儿爱上了阅读，主动提出给作者讲一个故事，这令作者惊喜不已，从而感叹如果读书能够传承下去，将是一种巨大的福气。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.”（我们有更多的时间了。 我母亲小的时候，人们每周工作大约60个小时。 现在是44个小时。 Maggie长大了，也就30个小时了。 而且还会有很多小工具帮她做家务。 她得读书。 你不能整天看电视）可知像Maggie这样的年轻一代有更多机会阅读是因为他们有更多的时间可供阅读。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy.”（目前，Maggie正在读关于Johnny Woodchuck的书。 在她前面——我有点嫉妒——是她第一次与《黑美人》擦身而过，爱丽丝穿过镜子，哈克和吉姆漂流在密西西比河上，莎士比亚的情感风暴，托尔斯泰的精神痛苦）可知Maggie正在阅读古典著作，这正是作者羡慕她的地方。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句上文“For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair.”（因为阅读并不全是快乐。 就像生活本身一样，它混杂着许多情绪，从狂喜到绝望 ）和最后一段“And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.””（有一天，如果她幸运的话，她会得到最激动的事，一个小女孩爬到她的腿上，对她说:“妈妈，我要给你读个故事。” ）以及结合划线句子“Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.”（Maggie将学会不畏艰险，从古代智慧中汲取早已死去的天才的一点智慧之火来丰富她的精神），可知第六段中划线句子的意思是Maggie会从阅读中受益良多。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.””（有一天，如果她幸运的话，她会得到最激动的事，一个小女孩爬到她的腿上，对她说:“妈妈，我要给你读个故事。”）可知未来的某一天，Maggie的女儿也可能爱上阅读，享受阅读的乐趣，要给妈妈讲个故事，这是非常幸运的事情。由此推知，读书能传承下去，是一种福气。故选D。
C
A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠) can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging (医学影像) procedures.
“During the examination children don't move. It works perfectly. It's amazing,“ said Johanne L'Ecuyer, a medical-imaging technologist at the hospital.
The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where examinations are done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia(麻醉).
A French medical-imaging technologist— also a hypnotist — was invited to train a few members in the medical-imaging department of the children's hospital. In all, 80 examinations were conducted for the project between January and September, 2019, focusing on the imaging procedures that would cause anxiety.
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep: It is rather a modified(改变的) state of consciousness. The technologist will guide the patient to this modified state—an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the procedure that follows.
“The technologist must build up a story with the patient," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "The patient is left with the power to choose what he wants to talk about. Do you play sports Do you like going to the beach We establish a subject that we will discuss throughout the procedure."
Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story — an injection(注射) becomes the bite of an insect; the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun and a machine that rings becomes a police car passing nearby.
“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the patient's body with what the patient sees in his head," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "It requires creativity on the part of the technologist, imagination, a lot of patience and kindness."
The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January. It spread like wildfire that someone from France was here to train the technologists," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. She added that she had a line of staff at her door wanting to take the training.
8. One of the results produced by the trial project is ________ .
A. a better understanding of children
B. less use of certain medicines
C. new medical-imaging technology
D. an improved reputation of the hospital
9. According to Paragraph 5, hypnosis works by ________.
A. creating a perfect world for patients
B. forcing patients into a state of deep sleep
C. putting patients into an unconscious state
D. leading patients' consciousness away from reality
10. The procedure was received among the staff with ________.
A. uncertainty B. worry
C. enthusiasm D. criticism
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. The use of hypnosis in medical-imaging procedures.
B. The standard method of conducting hypnosis.
C. An introduction of medical-imaging technology.
D. An easy way to communicate with patients.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了催眠在医学成像手术中的应用以及其优势和原理。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠) can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging(医学影像) procedures. (蒙特利尔儿童医院的一个试验项目表明使用医学催眠可以减轻病人的痛苦和焦虑。该项目还减少了用于进行医学成像手术的药物数量) ”可知，该试验项目的结果之一是减少某些药物的使用。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The technologist will guide the patient to this modified state—an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the procedure that follows.(技术专家将引导患者进入这种改进的状态——一个想象中的世界，它将越来越多地与接下来的手术分离)”可知，催眠的原理是营造一个想象的世界，引导患者的意识远离现实。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January.(这一程序在1月份推出时，深受员工的欢迎)”可知，医院员工对这一种新的医学成像手术形式非常欢迎，充满热情。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段“A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠) can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging(医学影像) procedures. (蒙特利尔的一个试验项目的儿童医院建议使用医疗催眠可以减少患者的痛苦和焦虑。该项目还导致减少的药物用于执行医疗成像程序) ”可知，文章首段点明主题，通篇都在说催眠在医学成像手术中的应用，其优势和原理是什么。故选A项。
D
While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.
In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.
12. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns
A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.
B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.
D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice
13. What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns
A. Cautious. B. Satisfied.
C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
14. What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns
A. Predictable. B. Practicable.
C. Approaching. D. Impossible.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？
B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying
C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb
D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。主要内容是英语语言中“名词动用”的语言现象，据专家估计20%的英语动词原本是名词，但大多数专家对“名词动用”这类名词的使用持有谨慎态度。也有人反对新动词，因为他们抗拒自己不熟悉的东西。文章就此展开了讨论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.（自1900年以来，大约40%的新动词来自名词）可知，我们知道在过去的一个世纪里，名词动用并不是罕见的现象。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的Not all are bad, but all are suspect.（不是所有的都是坏的，但所有的都是可疑的）和The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.（《芝加哥文体手册》也持类似观点，建议作者小心使用动词）可知，对于名词动用的用法，大多数的专家持谨慎的态度。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.（并不是所有的造词都被广泛使用，但是想要完全停止动词的使用，还是算了吧）可知，作者认为结束名词动用用法的使用是不可能的，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及文章的可知，英语语言中“名词动用”的语言现象，据专家估计20%的英语动词原本是名词，但大多数专家对“名词动用”这类名词的使用持有谨慎态度，但是完全杜绝这类词的使用又是不可能的。也有人反对新动词，因为他们抗拒自己不熟悉的东西，用正反两个观点来说明这类名词动用的语言现象是否受人欢迎，故引用文章中的名词动用的两个词Summering和Medaling来进行概括，故B选项（Summering和Medaling很讨厌吗？）可以作为本文标题，故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

Do you believe in aliens During the 1980s, hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England. Many people thought they were created by aliens from outer space. What were these circles ____16____
Scaring Circles
Hundreds of geometrical patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields like magic. The most common theory was that they were made by spaceships. Two scientists, Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject. ____17____By the end of the 1980s, crop circles had become a mystery; and there were regular reports in the press and on television.
Conflict
____18____ Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer, while others claimed the circles were caused by helicopters. Specialists thought the symbols were from ancient writings. However, no one could really offer a convincing explanation. Eventually, the Koestler Foundation offered 5,000 pounds for a definitive solution.
The Peak
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles. Delgado and Andrews released their bestseller “Circular Evidence". And a team of scientists arrived to record circle-making in action. That year
the crop circles were even more complex than the ones before. The hit of the year came on 12th July
when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.____19____But the mystery was about to
be settled.
An Explanation
One day that same year, a group of famous circle exports set up monitoring equipment on a hill in Wiltshire. ____20____ Amazingly, the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them, without the team recording anything. Worse still, when the researchers entered the circles, they found man-made tools in the centre of each circle, which seemed to prove that the circles had been made by humans.
A. And who had made them
B. The answers puzzled many people.
C. Crop specialists were as confused as ever.
D. Since then, a great many more crop circles have appeared.
E. They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.
F. Apart from the alien theories, there were other suggestions too.
G. They were convinced the circles were the work of an “unknown intelligence".
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了20世纪80年代，英国各地出现的数百个神秘的圆圈，以及人们对这些怪圈的猜测和科学家们的研究。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Many people thought they were created by aliens from outer space. What were these circles ”（许多人认为它们是由外太空的外星人创造的。这些圆圈是什么？）推知，下文会继续提出问题：是谁创造了这些圆圈，A选项And who had made them（又是谁创造了它们）切合题意，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Two scientists, Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject”（两位科学家，皮特·德尔加多和科林·安德鲁斯，对这个课题非常着迷）推知，空处会继续说这两位科学家的想法或做法，G选项They were convinced the circles were the work of an “unknown intelligence（他们确信这些圆圈是“未知智能”的杰作）表明了他们的想法，切合题意，they指代上文提到的两位科学家。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer, while others claimed the circles were caused by helicopters”（一些人认为这些圆圈是由鹿等动物造成的，而另一些人则声称这些圆圈是由直升机造成的）和小标题Conflict“争议”推知，空处应提出除了一种说法外，还有其他的解释。F选项Apart from the alien theories, there were other suggestions too（除了外星人理论，还有其他的建议）切合题意，其他的建议即指这些圆圈是由鹿或直升机造成的。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“That year, the crop circles were even more complex than the ones before. The hit of the year came on 12th July when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.”（那一年，麦田怪圈比以前更加复杂。今年最轰动的事件发生在7月12日，奥尔顿巴恩斯的一块空地上出现了一个巨大的圆圈）可知，在谜团还未解开的情况下，又出现可麦田怪圈，这肯定会让专家们感到困惑。C选项Crop specialists were as confused as ever（作物专家们一如既往地感到困惑）中的Crop specialists与空格前的crop circles相互呼应，因此C选项切合题意，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One day that same year, a group of famous circle experts set up monitoring equipment on a hill in Wiltshire”（同年的一天，一群著名的圈内人在威尔特郡的一座山上安装了监控设备）推知，设空处应说明他们这么做的目的是什么。E选项They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle（他们希望可以记录麦田怪圈的形成）切合题意，record the formation和前面的monitoring equipment相互呼应。故选E。

【答案】Dear Peter，
In your letter you mentioned how to get the preference of Chinese universities. I believe there would be three main aspects to be taken into account.
Initially, having a good command of Chinese is a basic need to live in China. With this ability，you can communicate with native speakers easily and have access to abundant resources. Moreover，it is vital to adapt to the new environment instantly. The sooner you can get used to the new environment，the more beneficial it will become to you. Last but not least, personal interests and hobbies are also highly valued. You should choose a major that you want to devote yourself to.
With all the strengths I mentioned above, I am sure you can overcome all the difficulties and make greater progress in China.
Best wishes and good luck!
Yours

I was born in a secluded village on a mountain. Day after day, my parents dug the yellow dry soil with their backs towards the sky.
One day, I wanted to buy a handkerchief, which all girls around me seemed to have. So, one day I stole 50 cents from my father’s drawer. Father discovered about the stolen money right away. “Who stole the money ” he asked my brother and me. I was stunned, too afraid to talk. Suddenly, my younger brother took the blame, and punishment for me. In the middle of the night, all of a sudden, I cried out loudly. I still hated myself for not having enough courage to admit what I did. Years went by, but the incident still seemed like it just happened yesterday. That year, my brother was 8 years old and I was 11 years old.
When my brother was in his last year of secondary school, he was accepted in an upper secondary school in the central part of town. At the same time, I was accepted into a university in the province. However, my parents couldn’t possibly finance both of us. At that time, my brother walked out, he stood in front of Father and said, “Dad, I don’t want to continue my study anymore.”
Nobody knew that on the next day, before dawn, my brother left the house with a few pieces of worn-out clothes and a few dry beans. He sneaked to my side of the bed and left a note on my pillow, saying “Getting into a university is not easy. I will find a job and send money to you.” I held the note while sitting on my bed, and cried until I lost my voice.
With the money father borrowed from the whole village, and the money my brother earned from carrying cement on his back at a construction site, finally, I managed to get to the third year of my study in the university. That year, my brother was 17 years old and I was 20 years old.

【答案】One Possible Version:
One day, while I was studying in my room, my roommate came in and told me that a villager was waiting for me. I wondered why there would be a villager looking for me. I walked out, and I saw my brother from afar. His whole body was covered with dirt, dust, cement and sand. I asked him why he didn’t tell my roommate that he was my brother. He was worried that others would have a prejudice on his appearance. I felt so touched, and tears filled my eyes. I swept away dirt and dust from my brother’s body.
From his pocket, he took out a beautiful necklace. He gave it to me and said, “I saw all the girls in town are wearing it. I think you should also have one.” I could not hold back myself anymore. I pulled my brother into my arms and cried. That year, my brother was 20 years old and I was 23 years old. Love and care for the one we love every single day of our life. We may think what we did is just a small deed, but to that someone, it may mean a lot.

Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training", are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture,ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
1. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine
A. By combining different exercise types together.
B By having sufficient rest between their workouts
C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
2. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function
A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance.
C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility.
3. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises
A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck.
B
I can remember when my daughter Maggie, who is now six, used to crawl into my lap and say, “Daddy, read me a story.” Last year she announced, “Daddy, I’m going to read you a story.”
Maggie was a television child. When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping, the TV set was right there, and it soon commanded her attention.
A few years ago, we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read, but that we’d forget how to read ourselves. But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV, but more reading than ever before in history.
Clearly, reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things. When I was six, a wail went up about menaces (威胁) to reading at home: motor cars and cinema. When Maggie came along, there was television. The motorcar, the radio, the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.
Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.
At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy. For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.
And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.”
4. Why do the young generation like Maggie have more access to reading
A. They face less working pressure.
B. There is more time available for reading.
C. Their parents encourage them more often.
D. They have a stronger desire for knowledge.
5. What makes the author envious of Maggie
A. Her exposure to classic reading. B. Her productive works in writing.
C. Her wild imagination in daily life. D. Her spiritual reflection on the books.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 imply
A. Maggie has rich experiences.
B. Maggie has a good plan for reading.
C. Maggie will benefit a lot from reading.
D. Maggie is on the road to becoming a genius.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Reading makes Maggie a fortunate girl.
B. More girls like Maggie enjoy telling stories.
C. Maggie’s daughter brings her the biggest thrill.
D. It is a blessing that reading can be passed down.
C
A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠) can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging (医学影像) procedures.
“During the examination children don't move. It works perfectly. It's amazing,“ said Johanne L'Ecuyer, a medical-imaging technologist at the hospital.
The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where examinations are done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia(麻醉).
A French medical-imaging technologist— also a hypnotist — was invited to train a few members in the medical-imaging department of the children's hospital. In all, 80 examinations were conducted for the project between January and September, 2019, focusing on the imaging procedures that would cause anxiety.
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep: It is rather a modified(改变的) state of consciousness. The technologist will guide the patient to this modified state—an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the procedure that follows.
“The technologist must build up a story with the patient," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "The patient is left with the power to choose what he wants to talk about. Do you play sports Do you like going to the beach We establish a subject that we will discuss throughout the procedure."
Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story — an injection(注射) becomes the bite of an insect; the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun and a machine that rings becomes a police car passing nearby.
“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the patient's body with what the patient sees in his head," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "It requires creativity on the part of the technologist, imagination, a lot of patience and kindness."
The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January. It spread like wildfire that someone from France was here to train the technologists," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. She added that she had a line of staff at her door wanting to take the training.
8. One of the results produced by the trial project is ________ .
A. a better understanding of children
B. less use of certain medicines
C. new medical-imaging technology
D. an improved reputation of the hospital
9. According to Paragraph 5, hypnosis works by ________.
A. creating a perfect world for patients
B. forcing patients into a state of deep sleep
C. putting patients into an unconscious state
D. leading patients' consciousness away from reality
10. The procedure was received among the staff with ________.
A. uncertainty B. worry
C. enthusiasm D. criticism
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. The use of hypnosis in medical-imaging procedures.
B. The standard method of conducting hypnosis.
C. An introduction of medical-imaging technology.
D. An easy way to communicate with patients.
D
While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.
In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.
12. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns
A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.
B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.
D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice
13. What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns
A. Cautious. B. Satisfied.
C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
14. What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns
A. Predictable. B. Practicable.
C. Approaching. D. Impossible.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？
B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying
C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb

Do you believe in aliens During the 1980s, hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England. Many people thought they were created by aliens from outer space. What were these circles ____16____
Scaring Circles
Hundreds of geometrical patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields like magic. The most common theory was that they were made by spaceships. Two scientists, Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject. ____17____By the end of the 1980s, crop circles had become a mystery; and there were regular reports in the press and on television.
Conflict
____18____ Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer, while others claimed the circles were caused by helicopters. Specialists thought the symbols were from ancient writings. However, no one could really offer a convincing explanation. Eventually, the Koestler Foundation offered 5,000 pounds for a definitive solution.
The Peak
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles. Delgado and Andrews released their bestseller “Circular Evidence". And a team of scientists arrived to record circle-making in action. That year,
the crop circles were even more complex than the ones before. The hit of the year came on 12th July
when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.____19____But the mystery was about to
be settled.
An Explanation
One day that same year, a group of famous circle exports set up monitoring equipment on a hill in Wiltshire. ____20____ Amazingly, the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them, without the team recording anything. Worse still, when the researchers entered the circles, they found man-made tools in the centre of each circle, which seemed to prove that the circles had been made by humans.

E. They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.

47. 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。
I was born in a secluded village on a mountain. Day after day, my parents dug the yellow dry soil with their backs towards the sky.
One day, I wanted to buy a handkerchief, which all girls around me seemed to have. So, one day I stole 50 cents from my father’s drawer. Father discovered about the stolen money right away. “Who stole the money ” he asked my brother and me. I was stunned, too afraid to talk. Suddenly, my younger brother took the blame, and punishment for me. In the middle of the night, all of a sudden, I cried out loudly. I still hated myself for not having enough courage to admit what I did. Years went by, but the incident still seemed like it just happened yesterday. That year, my brother was 8 years old and I was 11 years old.
When my brother was in his last year of secondary school, he was accepted in an upper secondary school in the central part of town. At the same time, I was accepted into a university in the province. However, my parents couldn’t possibly finance both of us. At that time, my brother walked out, he stood in front of Father and said, “Dad, I don’t want to continue my study anymore.”
Nobody knew that on the next day, before dawn, my brother left the house with a few pieces of worn-out clothes and a few dry beans. He sneaked to my side of the bed and left a note on my pillow, saying “Getting into a university is not easy. I will find a job and send money to you.” I held the note while sitting on my bed, and cried until I lost my voice.
With the money father borrowed from the whole village, and the money my brother earned from carrying cement on his back at a construction site, finally, I managed to get to the third year of my study in the university. That year, my brother was 17 years old and I was 20 years old.
