Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists,runners and walkers,but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.It is a challenge many disabled athletes face,unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visually and audibly impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt,president of Achilles Brisbane,who is—vision and hearing—impaired,said,“When we go out,it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the five-kilometer park run.Their partnership is built on trust,but Ms.Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms.Cullen completely.“There was violent rain,my glasses were broken and we were walking together.I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything,and I was going to have to completely trust her.From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms.Allen kept active by rowing,running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely,she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms.Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But,they found people and matched me to them,” she said.“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
21.What does Paragraph 1 try to show
A.The danger of walking on a busy road.
B.The difficulty the disabled athletes face.
C.The exercise people do to keep fit.
D.The necessity of building roads for the blind.
22.How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone
A.Relaxed. B.Excited.
C.Worried. D.Bored.
23.What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms.Britt
A.She developed a strong sense of teamwork.
B.She led Ms.Cullen forward on the road.
C.She began to rely on Ms.Cullen as her guide.
D.She fell down on the ground.
24.What was the best thing Ms.Allen has done
A.Asking Achilles Brisbane for help.
B.Working in Achilles Brisbane.
C.Exercising non-stop.
D.Meeting Tatum.

A balanced diet comprising of diverse and healthy foods is the key to promoting good health.After all,we are what we eat—research continues to prove that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body.Foods contain vital nutrients that aid our body’s metabolic function.However,a lack of consumption of these nutrients or feeding upon the wrong kinds of food leads to an accumulation of toxins within the body,resulting in chronic (慢性的)diseases in the long run.
A nutritious diet while ensuring overall well being,helps to maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI),reduces the risk of several debilitating diseases like cancer,cardiovascular ailments,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.Thus a nutritious and healthy diet is important in the prevention and cure of various diseases.
There are several health conditions that can be caused or aggravated (加重)by the food we eat.However,there are also several foods that you can include in your diet to help prevent or treat diseases.It is simplest to draw up a balanced diet chart as this will ensure that you get all the nutrients you require on a regular basis.A nutrition diet chart is a diet chart that helps you to keep a track of your nutritional diet requirements and is a very useful tool when drawing up a personalized diet plan.
However,it must be noted that allopathic medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause of the disease,which is usually caused by wrong eating habits leading to an accumulation of toxins within the system.Whereas a nutritious healthy diet can rectify underlying causes of diseases and restore one to wholeness of mind and body.Once we realize the connection between a wholesome balanced diet and good health,our food will be our medicine and maintaining good health will be a matter of making the right food choices and leading a healthy lifestyle.
25.According to the passage,what can we do to make sure we have the nutrients we need
A.Curing diseases promptly.
B.Eating more nutritious food.
C.Drawing a nutrition diet chart.
D.Drawing a personalized diet plan.
26.How do you understand “we are what we eat” in the first paragraph
A.We will become something we eat.
B.We are no different from what we eat.
C.Healthy food can promote good health.
D.Healthy food won’t lead to a diseased body.
27.What can we learn from the passage
A.A constant lack of consumption of nutrients may lead to chronic diseases in the long run.
B.A balanced diet chart can help you carry out a personalized diet plan to mainly lose weight.
C.A nutritious diet can cure cancer,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.
D.A nutritious and healthy diet is the only key to preventing and curing diseases.

In 2020,Jamie Whitmore was considered one of the most successful athletes in America.She was a six-time USA champion for XTERRA racing,a two-time European tour champion,and held a world title.
Everything changed during a triathlon that seemed like so many others she had conquered.As a professional athlete,Jamie Whitmore was used to suffering,but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer.
After a friend recommended she go to the University of California,San Francisco,Whitmore took his advice and was quickly admitted.What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had spindle cell sarcoma,a soft tissue tumor that can start in the bone,and the tumor was wrapped around her sciatic nerve and touching several vital organs.They couldn’t cut it out for fear of bursting the tumor.
When she heard the diagnosis for the first time,Whitmore said time stood still.“I couldn’t breathe.They were talking about treatment and I just started crying and saying ‘I don’t want to die.’” Finally,the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor.Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a grueling two-month recovery.When she began to feel sick again,Whitmore was certain her cancer was back.Instead,doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnant—with twins.“That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalls.
Jamie Whitmore isn’t used to slowing down.She has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome,whether it was an XTERRA mountain bike race—or cancer.Today,Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free.She’s competing again,and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics,nine world titles,and has set two world records.She travels as a motivational speaker when she’s not spending time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.People with two good legs have fallen short of that task!You just can’t give up.”
28.Why couldn’t the doctors cut out the tumor at first
A.Because Jamie was against the plan.
B.Because Jamie was pregnant with twins.
C.Because it was developing too quickly.
D.Because it was near several important organs.
29.When learning about her cancer,what did Jamie feel
A.Sad and scared.
B.Ashamed and regretful.
C.Annoyed and frightened.
D.Astonished and inspired.
30.The underlined word “freak-out” refers to .
A.something demanding
B.something rewarding
C.something unusual
D.something meaningful
31.What is the purpose of Jamie’s traveling as a motivational speaker
A.To build up her character.
B.To inspire those with limitations.
C.To spend more time with her children.
D.To earn more money in her spare time.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running,research shows,while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does,however,have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk,which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at all times.It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however,says Jaclyn Norberg,an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem,Mass.
Like running,race walking is physically demanding,she says.According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour,which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,although fewer than running,which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However,race walking does not pound the body as much as running does,Dr.Norberg says.According to her research,runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step,while race walkers,who do not leave the ground,create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result,she says,some of the injuries associated with running,such as runner’s knee,are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact,anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique,she says.It takes some practice.
32.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A.They must run long distances.
B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
33.What advantage does race walking have over running
A.It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B.It’s less challenging physically.
C.It’s more effective in body building.
D.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
34.What is Dr.Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A.Getting experts’ opinions.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach.
D.Doing regular exercises.
35.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A.Skeptical. B.Objective.
C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.

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。
What is the connection between violence and sports Psychologists(心理学家) say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol(酒精). 36 When people drink,they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says,“Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”
David Sampson,a sports sociologist,agrees.“These are often celebratory riots(暴乱)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning,but things get violent quickly.”
37 When individuals are in a large group of people,they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt,a social psychologist,says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone.People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are.Crowds also make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions. 38 Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality”.
Dave Zarifis,head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says,“Some people don’t even come to celebrate. 39 Someone does something stupid,and it grows from there.You get a mob mentality.People think it’s OK to do almost anything.They think,‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’”
Social psychologist Dr Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. 40 Officials should also think of games as “big parties”. Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums.“When you know someone is watching,you are much less likely to behave badly.”
A.They just follow the crowd.
B.Many fans drink a lot at games.
C.They want to drink hard and make trouble.
D.Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself.
E.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.
F.Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.
G.Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing the same thing.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight,and help kids do better in school.Plus, outdoor activities at an early age can go a long way toward helping children form healthy habits for life.In other words, exercise is needed for healthy development.But don’t expect kids to understand about those things.Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be addicted to the TV.So parents could do something to help inactive sons or daughters fall in love with physical activity.
If parents sit in front of the TV every night, a bag of chips in hand, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions(限制)you set on their screen time either.So check your own viewing behavior, and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life.When you can,walk instead of driving.Regularly participate in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see—and hear about—how much you enjoy them.In this way,they may “do as the Romans do”.Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family schedule in the same way that school,work,shopping, and family gatherings find their way onto the calendar.You and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if you incorporate it into your life on a routine basis.And your children will begin to expect and accept that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.
Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be self-conscious about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure.These kids need all the support and encouragement from parents.Negative comments don’t work and will only serve to make your child feel bad.Remember, acknowledge the effort—choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill—rather than the outcome.

Technology companies usually focus their benefits on making people stay in the office longer:ping-pong tables,game rooms,on-site training rooms;some even offer laundry services.We,ABC Company,don’t do any of these.Instead,we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible.We designed our benefits system to reflect that.Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.
Vacation:For the last three years in a row,we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift.Everything is paid for and included.Specific,pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain or singles to go to Lijiang,China—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer Weeks:From May through October,everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week.This started out as “Friday’s off”,but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.
To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.

Dear Peter,
Glad to hear that you are going to take a trip to China this August.As I know,you are always interested in Chinese culture and want to learn some Chinese.Therefore,I suggest that you choose Chinese daily dialogue as a start,like greeting people,asking for directions and bargaining for souvenirs,which can help you a lot during your trip.
Learning a foreign language needs great efforts.Apparently,I’d like to be your teacher and send you an e-book with my teaching schedule later.Besides,let’s have an online class over the Internet every weekend,through which I will try my best to make your learning easier and surely you can speak some fluent Chinese before your arrival.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
