Ladies and gentlemen,
Just as the slogan says, “Exercise one hour a day keeps illness away.” There is no doubt that sport is good for our health. A person who takes exercise regularly will keep fit. What’s more, exercise can make you well-behaved and confident. If you usually take exercise with your friends, you will be close to them. After all, sports can make your life more colorful.
Swimming has been my favorite sport since I was little. My father began to teach me when I was just 5 years old. I took part in several swimming competitions and got top prizes. It is also an effective way to relax myself.
Nothing is more important than doing sports. It’s time to take actions to take part in sport activities.雅安市重点中学2022-2023学年高二下学期期中考试

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day.
The House on Mango Street
Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It’s a rapid read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it still deals with complex themes and important subject matters including language, race, ageing and troubles.
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It’s 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely doable in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.
3
The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this another effective first read in one day. The novel is set in London in the 1920s and follows the life of another writer, Jade Yeo. There is even enough time for readers to appreciate a film adaptation of the book after reading it.
Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer’s fantasy stylings at their best. Stardust, which became a major movie, sits at 256 pages. It’s epic in its scale, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasy land of Stormhold.
21．What is NOT involved in the book written by Sandra Cisneros
A．Language. B．Race. C．Literature D．Growing old
22．Which book is a bit more difficult to finish in a day
A．The House on Mango Street. B．The Midnight Library
C．The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo. D．Stardust
23．What do The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo and Stardust have in common
A．They are both set in London.
B．They are both intended for fantasy readers.
C．They were both made into a film.
D．The characters in the two books are fictional.
B
Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion ”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will come to see him and laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds 4
were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept(蹑手蹑脚) downstairs in his pajamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack(架子) and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered(攀爬) down off the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned(打哈欠), stretched, and sprang down(跳下来) after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. Tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.
24．Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she________.
A．had lied about her good health condition
B．had decided to send Bertie to a new school
C．knew selling the lion would upset Bertie
D．knew Bertie would hate to go to England
25．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________.
A．some audience B．other animals
C．Bertie’s friends D．circus’s owners
26．In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle at the lion to________.
A．kill the lion out of helplessness B．protect himself from being chased
C．threaten the lion back to the wild D．show his anger towards his father
27．The passage intends to show that________.
A．circuses are the last places for animals to live
B．animals belonging to the wild should be set free
C．parents are sometimes cruel to their children
D．people and animals can be faithful to each other
C
For most people, the thought of having to watch themselves work out is not an attractive one. Yet as any gym-goer knows, there are always some people who like to enjoy their reflection in the floor-length mirrors. It is perhaps these particular keep-fit lovers who are 5
most excited about the latest trend in home exercise-smart fitness mirrors.
These are 180cm or so tall, high-tech mirrors that have a computer which is connected to the Internet, and also work as a video screen. The idea is that people contact an online trainer, who then appears in the mirror along with their reflection.
On the more advanced devices the mirror is equipped with cameras, speakers and numerous sensors connected to AI, so the trainer can watch people’s movements, and provide improvements and changes. On the simpler mirrors the video and sound are just one-way — people can see and hear the trainer, but not the other way around. Lessons are typically not live; instead, people just get into a library of online workout videos.
But is there any actual advantage in being able to watch yourself work out Colleen Logan, the US owner of both Nordic Track and ProForm, says, “Seeing themselves in the mirror allows the users to correct their form or position, so they get the best possible benefits of strength exercises and reduce mistakes that could lead to injuries”.
However, Dr Anthony Papathomas, a sports and fitness psychologist says there is value to this argument, but that he also has some concerns. He said, “How people who are not confident about their body image feel about the mirror gets me in a fret. It may be a problem for those new to exercise and looking to make a lifestyle change. Even for regular exercisers, there are many who experience body dysmorphia (变形) or eating disorders, and for them, seeing a reflection throughout their exercise might be troubling.”
28．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about smart fitness mirrors
A．Their target users. B．Their basic functions.
C．Their wide popularity. D．Their complex structure.
29．What can be the benefit for exercisers from simpler fitness mirrors
A．Having live workout lessons. B．Exercising with other partners.
C．Learning from some trainers at once. D．Taking advantage of workout videos.
30．What does Logan think of the mirror
A．It makes mistakes sometimes. B．It could bring injuries to its users.
C．It helps users exercise more properly. D．It can’t be used for strength exercises.
31．Which of the following best explains “in a fret” underlined in the last paragraph
A．Worried. B．Confused. C．Annoyed. D．Interested.
D
An Italian company has told staff to stop sending any internal (内部) emails for a week in an effort to reduce stress levels.
Home textiles company Gabel, based in the northern Como region, appointed an expert to interview its employees about what their main concerns were at work, the local La Provincia di Como website reports. Many said that managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during the working day. That pushed the company’s management to propose a solution, which — somewhat ironically — was sent to all staff in an email.
“Together we will begin the following experiment, which will take us back in time to when people talked more,” managing director Emilio Colombo wrote, declaring an “email-free” week until 13 November. “We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at the same location), in favor of a more direct and immediate contact.”
The company’s president, Michele Moltrasio, tells the BBC it hasn’t been easy to stop such an “ingrained” practice, temporarily, but that employees have welcomed the challenge. “They are rediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing,” he says. And that includes Mr. Moltrasio, who is avoiding emails along with everyone else. “Even if from next week we all go back to using email, these days of experimentation are very worthwhile, to understand and rethink the methods and pace(节奏) of working,” he says.
Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work. In 2013, researchers said that a full inbox(收件箱) led to peaks in people’s blood pressure and heart rate. And last year, a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the day lowered people’s stress levels “significantly.”
32．What did an Italian company do to reduce its employees’ pressure at work
A．Ask its employees not to send emails anymore.
B．Launch a campaign to stop using emails temporarily.
C．Ask experts to design a new way of communication.
D．Interview employees about their concerns at work.
33．According to the passage, what does the underlined word mean in paragraph 4
A．Deep-rooted. B. Highly-praised.
C. Newly-released. D．Commonly-seen.
34．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Emails have been an outdated means of communication in the company.
B．Employees don’t communicate with each other so directly as they did in the past.
C．It is quite easy for employees to stop using emails.
D．Employees’ working stress is due to the large number of emails they deal with every
day.
35．What is the employees’ attitude towards this solution
A．Negative. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Reserved.
