Think Again by ADAM GRANT
Grant reminds us that just like we refresh our wardrobe from time to time, we need to routinely reexamine our beliefs and ways of thinking. Often our beliefs become habits, and Grant argues that being too attached to one identity and thought process can kill our creativity. Instead, we need to start spending as much time rethinking as we do thinking.

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!
Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We are 100% horse from stable (马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.
Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack (马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.
At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse” (4 girls), “The Wranglers Roost” (4 girls), and “The Hideout” (2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2011, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
We will send you full program descriptions at your request.

Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of adults—around 75 percent—tell up to two lies every day What this suggests then is that you’ve probably told a lie or two in the past 24 hours and chances are you've also been lied to.
Before you start protesting your innocence or confronting loved ones and colleagues, though, it’s worth noting that the bulk of these lies fall into the “hardly worth mentioning” category. Think little white lies such as attempting to spare someone’s feelings or gently twisting the facts to avoid looking-bad. People tell lies for a variety of reasons. Less than 12 percent of lies can be categorized as “big lies”—and these are usually the ones that really matter. An example of a big lie, according to the study’s authors, would be saying “I love you” without being sincere.
So, are there any body language giveaways that can help “out” someone who’s lying Back in 2015, University of Michigan researchers identified some common behaviors among liars, including frowning or grimacing (扮怪相), looking directly at the questioner in a bid to appear trustworthy, and overcompensating by gesturing with both hands. A more recent study found that liars may unconsciously mimic the body language of those around them while their brains are otherwise engaged in telling lies. However, to establish a connection with a new person, that will make them feel that there is something about you that they like. It’s also worth looking out for the “eye dart”: when we glance to the left, we’re attempting to recall facts and events; when we look to the right, we’re thinking more creatively.
Vocal factors can offer a good clue, too. People who are being deliberately dishonest — or who lack certainty in what they’re saying—tend to speak slower and place less emphasis on the middle of words. It’s important to remember though that none of these pointers offer undeniable evidence that you’re dealing with a liar. After all, some people just grimace (做鬼脸) more or speak slower than others.
7. Which of the following lies are NOT categorized as “hardly worth mentioning”
A. “I love your new haircut.”
B. “I am so into you.”(said coldly)
C. “Relax. It makes no difference to me. ”
D. “My train was cancelled” instead of “I overslept and missed my train”.
8. How does a liar’s body language give away himself
A. He looks directly at the questioner to show his trust in him.
B. He keeps glancing to the left from time to time when he talks.
C. He unintentionally repeats the gesture made by the person he talks to.
D. He speaks slower and emphasizes the middle of the words less.
9. The underlined word “mimic” in the third paragraph means ______.
A. affect B. ignore C. mirror D. mix
10. What’s the best title for the text
A. How to deal with a liar. B. How to tell white lies or big lies.
C. The possible reasons of telling lies. D. How to tell if someone is lying to you.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order： I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle （小猎犬）. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book - - Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly ,1 got the main idea of the story about a dog who ,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something ： I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.
I never told my mother about my "miraculous” （奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
19. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to .
A. let him spend a meaningful summer B. encourage him to do more walking
C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons
20. The book caught the author's eye because.
A. it reminded him of his own dog B. he found its title easy to understand
C. it contained pretty pictures of animals D. he liked children's stories very much
21. Which one could be the best title of the passage
A. Mum's Strict Order. B. My Passion for Reading.
C. Reunion with My Beagle. D. The Charm of a Book.
C
The health benefits of staying active are already well - known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed a- bout their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn't. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be： 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn't find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for
the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate （适度的）physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables（变量）that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
22. How is the study conducted
A. By analyzing previous data. B. By doing comparative experiments.
C. By evaluating survey information. D. By tracking participants for a long time.
23. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Traditional sports. D. Individual sports.
24. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Few people will play football. B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong. D. The study needs to be further improved.
25. What does the author advise people to do
A. Stick to any sport that you like. B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football. D. Do any sport according to guidelines.

A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching their arms, but most of us could barely focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision-a big meal, I spotted a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn’t be easy, I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 22 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.
At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of accomplishment, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got smaller and my arms got stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Some of the author’s bad habits.
B. Some ways of the author’s killing his spare time.
C. The importance of sticking to the normal daily routine.
D. The difficulty of the author’s keeping on with the workout plan.
5. What does the underlined word“sabotage”in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. prevent B. hear
C. improve D. distinguish
6. What did the author learn from the workout challenge
A. Eating healthy food is more important than exercising.
B. Overcoming a challenge could bring good feelings to him.
C. It’s more important to see what he likes than just feel it.
D. There was no need to feel guilty about things he disliked to do.
C
One day, I was taking a nap in the red chair in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash. I sat up and looked, immediately, out my window. Across the street, in a parking lot, a car had just backed into a chain-link fence. The car must have been moving fast, because it was in bad shape: Its hood had popped up. The fence was damaged, bent out in exactly the shape of the car’s back end.
I watched the driver get out of the car. He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair. I disliked him immediately. After a few seconds of assessing the damage, he attempted to pull the ruined fence back into place, but it wouldn’t move. He tried to push the fallen piece of bumper back onto his car, but that only made the rest of his bumper fall off too.
I sat in my red chair, looking out my window, silently cheering. I think I laughed out loud. This was a ridiculous masterpiece. He climbed out from under the collapsed fence and limped back to the apartment building above the lot, rubbing his elbow. The man—that disgusting man—was going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to clean up.
But the man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fence’s bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青). For the next hour, I watched out my window as he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it. Now the fence would be extra secure, stronger than before, impossible to damage.
This strange man was actually a hero. I was the lazy one, with my kneejerk (应激反应) judgments, my superiority (优越感) from three stories up. My ugly assumptions, I realized, were all about myself. I would never have fixed that fence; I would have panicked and run away.
Years later, I still look out my window at that fence almost every day. It still looks brand new, It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him.
7. Why did the driver leave a bad first impression on the writer
A. Because he badly damaged the fence.
B. Because he acted rudely and impolitely.
C. Because he escaped and left the mess to others.
D. Because he had a strange appearance and dressed casually.
8. The last two paragraphs tell us that ________.
A. if the writer were the driver, he thought he would do better
B. the writer gave a quick judgment from his previous experiences
C. the driver acted like a hero and had a great influence on the writer
D. the writer looks out his window often and expects to see the driver again
9. Which of the following words can best describe the driver
A. Rude but honest. B. Lazy but strong-minded.
C. Impatient but generous. D. Ordinary-looking but responsible.
10. What can be the best title of the text
A. Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
B. One’s Thinking Directs One’s Actions
C. Treat Other People As You Hope They Will Treat You
D. The Environment Depends on What You Think in You Mind

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中If coastal views and oceanic adventures are up your alley, then Myrtle Beach, SC is the place for you!( 如果你对海岸景观和海洋冒险感兴趣，那么默特尔海滩，SC是你的好去处!)可知B选项“欣赏海岸景色”属于Myrtle Beach SC的活动；根据第二段中This city is known for its stunning beaches and adventures that offer up unique opportunities to create the most unforgettable memories. Set out on the sparkling waters to look for dolphins on the Myrtle Beach Dolphin Sightseeing Cruises. (这个城市以其迷人的海滩和冒险闻名，提供了独特的机会来创造最难忘的记忆。出发在波光粼粼的水域寻找海豚在默特尔海滩海豚观光巡航。)可知A选项“寻找海豚”和C选项“加入海洋探险”属于Myrtle Beach SC的活动。只有D选项“参加音乐会”没有提到，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中It is the capital of the state as well as the capital of country music. Affectionately nicknamed ‘Music City’, Nashville is where many of the most legendary performers got their start.可知它是国家的首都，也是乡村音乐的首都。被亲切地称为“音乐之城”的纳什维尔是许多最具传奇色彩的表演者的发祥地。由此可知，Nashville TN的特别之处在于有两个重要身份和一个昵称。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Home to rich Texan and American history, San Antonio, TX is a great place to visit for a combination of history and modern attractions.可知拥有丰富的德州和美国历史，San Antonio TX是一个伟大的地方访问历史和现代景点的结合。由此可知，你应该去San Antonio TX探索美国的历史。故选B。
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加一个健身项目时面对的挑战与困难以及战胜困难之后的感想。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn’t be easy（在纸上许下承诺很容易，但三周的锻炼计划和饮食限制却不容易）可知，第2段主要讲的是关于作者坚持锻炼计划的困难。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子的下文内容However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.（然而，最终我克服了消极的想法，并坚持锻炼。）可知，上文内容提到的是一个消极的想法。划线词所在的句子Throughout the 22 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising.（在这22天里，我经常告诉自己这个挑战毫无意义，并试图阻止自己锻炼。）中sabotage意为“阻止”。故选A。

【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。（5）预测文章出处。根据文章主旨判断出文章可能出自什么地方。例如本文中最后一题就属于第三种类型，属于目的意图题。本文中第三小题属于细节推理题。根据文章最后一段At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them.（在挑战结束时，我学到了更重要的东西：感觉结果比看到结果要好。）可知，作者从运动挑战中学到了克服挑战能给他带来好心情。故选B。

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者目睹了窗外的一个意外（一个外表粗犷的司机刮坏了停车场的栅栏后没有一走了之，而是把它修葺一新），这引发了作者对关于如何评判他人和认识自我的反思——不能以貌取人，要学习那位司机英雄般的行为。
【7题详解】

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据后两段内容，特别是根据倒数第二段第一句“This strange man was actually a hero. ”及最后一段最后一句“It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him. ”可知，那位司机把栅栏修葺一新，表现得像一个英雄，作者也决定向他学习，由此可知，这两段主要讲的是那位司机英雄般的行为对作者影响颇深，故C项正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中对那位司机的外貌描写“He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair.”位司机很强壮，剃了个光头，穿着工装短裤衬衫敞着怀儿，露着胸毛，及第四段中的动作描写“But the man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fence’s bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青).”但几分钟后那个人带着工具出现了。 他马上开始工作，移开一根弯曲的支撑杆，然后在沥青路面上敲打它和“he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it.”那位司机把栅栏修葺一新。由此判断出他虽然外表平平、穿着随意，但是极负责任地修好并加固了栅栏，故D项正确。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，，主要讲述了作者目睹了窗外的一个意外（一个外表粗犷的司机刮坏了停车场的栅栏后没有一走了之，而是把它修葺一新），这引发了作者对关于如何评判他人和认识自我的反思——不能以貌取人，要学习那位司机英雄般的行为。所以短文的最佳标题为“我们不要以貌取人”，故A项正确。

Often our beliefs become habits, and Grant argues that being too attached to one identity and thought process can kill our creativity. Instead, we need to start spending as much time rethinking as we do thinking.

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!
Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We are 100% horse from stable (马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.
Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack (马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.
At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse” (4 girls), “The Wranglers Roost” (4 girls), and “The Hideout” (2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2011, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
We will send you full program descriptions at your request.

Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of adults—around 75 percent—tell up to two lies every day What this suggests then is that you’ve probably told a lie or two in the past 24 hours and chances are you've also been lied to.
Before you start protesting your innocence or confronting loved ones and colleagues, though, it’s worth noting that the bulk of these lies fall into the “hardly worth mentioning” category. Think little white lies such as attempting to spare someone’s feelings or gently twisting the facts to avoid looking-bad. People tell lies for a variety of reasons. Less than 12 percent of lies can be categorized as “big lies”—and these are usually the ones that really matter. An example of a big lie, according to the study’s authors, would be saying “I love you” without being sincere.
So, are there any body language giveaways that can help “out” someone who’s lying Back in 2015, University of Michigan researchers identified some common behaviors among liars, including frowning or grimacing (扮怪相), looking directly at the questioner in a bid to appear trustworthy, and overcompensating by gesturing with both hands. A more recent study found that liars may unconsciously mimic the body language of those around them while their brains are otherwise engaged in telling lies. However, to establish a connection with a new person, that will make them feel that there is something about you that they like. It’s also worth looking out for the “eye dart”: when we glance to the left, we’re attempting to recall facts and events; when we look to the right, we’re thinking more creatively.
Vocal factors can offer a good clue, too. People who are being deliberately dishonest — or who lack certainty in what they’re saying—tend to speak slower and place less emphasis on the middle of words. It’s important to remember though that none of these pointers offer undeniable evidence that you’re dealing with a liar. After all, some people just grimace (做鬼脸) more or speak slower than others.
7. Which of the following lies are NOT categorized as “hardly worth mentioning”
A. “I love your new haircut.”
B. “I am so into you.”(said coldly)
C. “Relax. It makes no difference to me. ”
D. “My train was cancelled” instead of “I overslept and missed my train”.
8. How does a liar’s body language give away himself
A. He looks directly at the questioner to show his trust in him.
B. He keeps glancing to the left from time to time when he talks.
C. He unintentionally repeats the gesture made by the person he talks to.
D. He speaks slower and emphasizes the middle of the words less.
9. The underlined word “mimic” in the third paragraph means ______.
A. affect B. ignore C. mirror D. mix
10. What’s the best title for the text
A. How to deal with a liar. B. How to tell white lies or big lies.
C. The possible reasons of telling lies. D. How to tell if someone is lying to you.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order： I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle （小猎犬）. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book - - Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly ,1 got the main idea of the story about a dog who ,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something ： I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.
I never told my mother about my "miraculous” （奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
19. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to .
A. let him spend a meaningful summer B. encourage him to do more walking
C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons
20. The book caught the author's eye because.
A. it reminded him of his own dog B. he found its title easy to understand
C. it contained pretty pictures of animals D. he liked children's stories very much
21. Which one could be the best title of the passage
A. Mum's Strict Order. B. My Passion for Reading.
C. Reunion with My Beagle. D. The Charm of a Book.

The health benefits of staying active are already well - known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed a- bout their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn't. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be： 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn't find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for
the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate （适度的）physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables（变量）that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
22. How is the study conducted
A. By analyzing previous data. B. By doing comparative experiments.
C. By evaluating survey information. D. By tracking participants for a long time.
23. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Traditional sports. D. Individual sports.
24. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Few people will play football. B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong. D. The study needs to be further improved.
25. What does the author advise people to do
A. Stick to any sport that you like. B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football. D. Do any sport according to guidelines.

A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching their arms, but most of us could barely focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision-a big meal, I spotted a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn’t be easy, I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 22 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.
At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of accomplishment, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got smaller and my arms got stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Some of the author’s bad habits.
B. Some ways of the author’s killing his spare time.
C. The importance of sticking to the normal daily routine.
D. The difficulty of the author’s keeping on with the workout plan.
5. What does the underlined word“sabotage”in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. prevent B. hear
C. improve D. distinguish
6. What did the author learn from the workout challenge
A. Eating healthy food is more important than exercising.
B. Overcoming a challenge could bring good feelings to him.
C. It’s more important to see what he likes than just feel it.
D. There was no need to feel guilty about things he disliked to do.
C
One day, I was taking a nap in the red chair in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash. I sat up and looked, immediately, out my window. Across the street, in a parking lot, a car had just backed into a chain-link fence. The car must have been moving fast, because it was in bad shape: Its hood had popped up. The fence was damaged, bent out in exactly the shape of the car’s back end.
I watched the driver get out of the car. He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair. I disliked him immediately. After a few seconds of assessing the damage, he attempted to pull the ruined fence back into place, but it wouldn’t move. He tried to push the fallen piece of bumper back onto his car, but that only made the rest of his bumper fall off too.
I sat in my red chair, looking out my window, silently cheering. I think I laughed out loud. This was a ridiculous masterpiece. He climbed out from under the collapsed fence and limped back to the apartment building above the lot, rubbing his elbow. The man—that disgusting man—was going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to clean up.
But the man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fence’s bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青). For the next hour, I watched out my window as he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it. Now the fence would be extra secure, stronger than before, impossible to damage.
This strange man was actually a hero. I was the lazy one, with my kneejerk (应激反应) judgments, my superiority (优越感) from three stories up. My ugly assumptions, I realized, were all about myself. I would never have fixed that fence; I would have panicked and run away.
Years later, I still look out my window at that fence almost every day. It still looks brand new, It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him.
7. Why did the driver leave a bad first impression on the writer
A. Because he badly damaged the fence.
B. Because he acted rudely and impolitely.
C. Because he escaped and left the mess to others.
D. Because he had a strange appearance and dressed casually.
8. The last two paragraphs tell us that ________.
A. if the writer were the driver, he thought he would do better
B. the writer gave a quick judgment from his previous experiences
C. the driver acted like a hero and had a great influence on the writer
D. the writer looks out his window often and expects to see the driver again
9. Which of the following words can best describe the driver
A. Rude but honest. B. Lazy but strong-minded.
C. Impatient but generous. D. Ordinary-looking but responsible.
10. What can be the best title of the text
A. Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
B. One’s Thinking Directs One’s Actions
C. Treat Other People As You Hope They Will Treat You
D. The Environment Depends on What You Think in You Mind

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加一个健身项目时面对的挑战与困难以及战胜困难之后的感想。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn’t be easy（在纸上许下承诺很容易，但三周的锻炼计划和饮食限制却不容易）可知，第2段主要讲的是关于作者坚持锻炼计划的困难。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子的下文内容However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.（然而，最终我克服了消极的想法，并坚持锻炼。）可知，上文内容提到的是一个消极的想法。划线词所在的句子Throughout the 22 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising.（在这22天里，我经常告诉自己这个挑战毫无意义，并试图阻止自己锻炼。）中sabotage意为“阻止”。故选A。

【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。（5）预测文章出处。根据文章主旨判断出文章可能出自什么地方。例如本文中最后一题就属于第三种类型，属于目的意图题。本文中第三小题属于细节推理题。根据文章最后一段At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them.（在挑战结束时，我学到了更重要的东西：感觉结果比看到结果要好。）可知，作者从运动挑战中学到了克服挑战能给他带来好心情。故选B。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，，主要讲述了作者目睹了窗外的一个意外（一个外表粗犷的司机刮坏了停车场的栅栏后没有一走了之，而是把它修葺一新），这引发了作者对关于如何评判他人和认识自我的反思——不能以貌取人，要学习那位司机英雄般的行为。所以短文的最佳标题为“我们不要以貌取人”，故A项正确。
