Children start their school when they are 5 years old. This is called primary (小学教育的) school. Children will stay in primary school until 11. Then they must study in middle school till 16 years old. At 16, every student in the UK must take the tests called GCSE’s. After this, students can stay in the same school for another 2 years and take A Level tests. Students need to take these tests if they want to go to college at 18.
Colleges in the UK were free in the past, but many students now have to pay for part of their courses.

阅读下文并回答问题。
Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, exercise through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can exercise anytime anywhere.
One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short videos to do exercise every day. “With these videos, I feel like exercising with a lot of people, and it’s enjoyable.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that exercise videos are more time-saving than gyms(健身房). “With exercise videos, I don’t need to go to the gym. I don’t need to pay for the gyms, either. ”
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister Linda, a P.E. teacher, she was a little worried about exercise videos.
“Without being with someone in person, you will be lazy to exercise for a long time. Even worse, you may get hurt when you do wrong exercise” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, choose right videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. You should try different ways to exercise to be healthy. ”
54．Do many people exercise through online videos today
_______________________________________________________________________
55．What is the author’s(作者) elder sister
_______________________________________________________________________
56．Why did Linda worry about online exercise videos
_______________________________________________________________________

【答案】54．Yes, they do. 55．She is a P.E. teacher. 56．Because she thought the author might get hurt when he did wrong exercise. 57．I’d like to try online exercise because it can help me save time and money and keep healthy.
【导语】本文主要讲述了人们对于视频锻炼的看法。
54．根据“Today, exercise through online videos is becoming very popular.”可知，通过在线视频锻炼变得非常流行，故填Yes, they do.
55．根据“When I told my plan to my elder sister Linda, a P.E. teacher, she was a little worried about exercise videos.”可知，姐姐是一名体育老师，故填She is a P.E. teacher.
56．根据“Without being with someone in person, you will be lazy to exercise for a long time. Even worse, you may get hurt when you do wrong exercise”可知，做错误的运动时，你可能会受伤，故填Because she thought the author might get hurt when he did wrong exercise.
57．开放性试题，合理即可。故填I’d like to try online exercise because it can help me save time and money and keep healthy.

根据汉语提示完成单词或短语
58．You must thank him for his ______（好心）.
59．Some of my ______（错）were very funny.
60．I was ______（失望的）when I heard the bad news.

62．There is no success without ______（努力）.
【答案】58．kindness 59．mistakes 60．disappointed 61．woke up 62．effort
【解析】58．句意：你应该为他的好心向他表示感谢。根据句意和所给单词的汉语意思可知，这里考查kindness“善良，好心”，空前是形容词性物主代词his，故应填名词kindness。
59．句意：我的一些错是非常滑稽可笑的。根据句意和汉语意思可知，这里考查名词mistake。空前有some修饰，且be动词are用于主语是复数时，故这里应填名词复数mistakes。
60．句意：当我听到这个坏消息时，我是很失望的。根据句意可知，这里表示：“某人感到失望的”，应用形容词disappointed，在句中作表语。
61．句意：当我醒来的时候，我发现在我的床上有一个礼物。根据句意可知，这里考查wake up这一固定短语，意为“醒来”，根据主句中I found a gift可知，该句表示过去的事情，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式woke up。
62．句意：没有努力就没有成功。根据句意和单词的汉语意思可知，这里考查effort，意为“努力”，是一个名词。
【点睛】这个题目是单词拼写，考查学生们在具体语境中使用单词的能力。做题时，应根据句意和所给单词的汉语意思，填写适当的单词，并注意使用其正确的形式。例如第2小题，根据句意和汉语意思可知，这里考查名词mistake。空前有some修饰，且动词are用于主语是复数时，故这里应填名词复数mistakes。再如第4小题，根据句意可知，这里考查wake up这一固定短语，意为“醒来”，根据主句中I found a gift可知，该句表示过去的事情，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式woke up。
