1.阅读理解
John George, 60, remembers that he lived a wonderful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. "We knew all our neighbors." George told Detroit's Metro Times. "On Christmas Eve, we'd all go to midnight Mass, and there'd be 300 people in our house at one o'clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people."
By the'80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊区). But not George. "Living in any city, it's like being in a relationship," he told Reader's Digest. "Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter."
When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.
That's how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, mainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They've also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. They've painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.
And there's Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was known as Devil's Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破坏公物). In response, George created a citizens' patrol(巡逻)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels' Night What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.
George's inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. There's a trend of younger homeowners coming in.

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor' than ever before, ” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). ” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
（1）What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I
A.People can tell good from bad behavior. B.Radar is able to observe human behavior.
C.People care little about their behavior. D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
（2）Some people are less willing to deal with humans because .
A.they are becoming less patient B.they are growing too independent
C.they have to handle many important messages
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.
（3）The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is .
A.Ridiculous B.disgusting C.acceptable D.reasonable
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.We should applaud good behabior. B.Technology can neber be blamed
C.We should keep pointing out mistakes. D.Technology will take over lives one day.
3.Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

A.the greatest challenge of group exercise

4.阅读理解
The sun was shining and Clare felt like doing something active. She'd had enough of the moment of living in the past. What she really wanted was some skiing if she could get herself organized. She walked into the ski school office and within ten minutes had arranged a private class for the whole afternoon. One of the ski teacher would meet her at the ski lift station at the end of the village at midday. The ski hire shop next door rented her some skis and boots and she carried them back to the hotel. There she changed into some more or less suitable clothes and took the hotel's electric taxi down to the lift station. She was a bit early and had time to look around, and get nervous. She hadn't skied for about ten years, though she'd been quite good at that time. Everyone said it was liking riding a bike-you didn't forget how to do it. She stood there looking up at the mountains, trying to remember what to do.
Madam Newton " Yes," she said. And there was her ski teacher, looking exactly like all the other ski teachers she remembered sun-tanned, handsome and totally self-confident. Half an hour later all thoughts of the unhappy days had disappeared as she skied behind Bruno and concentrated on staying on her feet.
"Upper body still, make your legs do the work, Madame", shouted Bruno over his shoulder. "Call me Clare, please" she said. "OK. Lean forward a bit more, Clare. That's it. Good. You are remembering now, en " "Yeah, I am ... slowly. It's great. I'd forgotten what an amazing buzz skiing gives you".
They skied down some different runs with Bruno being wonderfully encouraging, and she really did begin to feel confident on the skis. Going up in the lifts, Clare and Bruno chatted — just the usual "where are you from, what do you do" sort of chat, but it was pleasantly relaxing. In the middle of the afternoon, they stopped at an old farmhouse for coffee and apple cake. There were lots of other skiers doing the same. Clare felt as if she belonged - something about being part of a group, all with a shared interest, she supposed. It was a feeling she'd not had for a long time.
Bruno said hello to a few people, and went over to talk to one of the waiters. Clare took the opportunity to study him a bit. Up until now, she'd just been skiing behind a man in a red ski suit, so it was interesting to see that he was quite tall, with curly brown hair and eyes to match. From the colour of his face he looked as if he'd spent his whole life in the open air. She guessed he was about forty.
"Are you in Zermatt for long, Clare " asked Bruno, after he'd been sitting with her a few minutes, "No, only a few days probably. Just a short break to get away from everything at home", replied Clare. She didn't feel like explaining the real reason. People looked at her differently when they knew. "But I'd like to do some more skiing. Would you be able to do anything tomorrow "
"I think so. But you'll have to book it through the ski school office. I can't arrange anything with you directly", said Bruno, putting on his gloves and standing up. "Come on. Let's do a bit more now." "Great," replied Clare. After another hour, Clare said, "Time to stop, I think," Bruno agreed. "You should have a sauna tonight. It'll help your body relax. Not so stiff (僵硬的）tomorrow, you know." Clare didn't care about stiff she was going to be tomorrow. She hadn't felt quite as good as this for months — full of fresh air, physically tired but in her mind — alive. Happy! Yes, that was how she felt.
（1）Why did Clare feel nervous at the ski lift station
A.The ski teacher arrived earlier than her. B.It was a long time since her last skiing.
C.She had hardly learned how to ski properly. D.She was inappropriately dressed for skiing.
（2）What did Clare do after 30 minutes' skiing
A.She couldn't help thinking about the past few days. B.She got a bit upset due to her inability to ski.
C.She didn't understand Bruno's instructions. D.She asked Bruno to call her tomorrow.
（3）What does the underlined part "an amazing buzz" in paragraph 3 mean
A.A sudden memory. B.A beautiful sound.
C.A strong feeling of excitement. D.An interesting topic of conversation.
（4）Clare felt enjoyable at the farmhouse in that .
A.she met some old friends B.she felt she was better than other skiers
C.she thought the food and drinks there were wonderful
D.she found she had something in common with others
（5）Why didn't Clare tell Bruno the real reason she was in Zermatt
A.She thought he might think negatively about the truth.
B.She wanted a different ski teacher the next day.
C.She hated to let him know she was leaving soon.
D.She felt he had a bad opinion on her.
（6）What can be inferred about Clare from the last paragraph
A.She discovered a way of taking her mind off her problems
B.She told her secret to another person for the first time.
C.She seemed to have been living a hard time tor years.
D.She found a lifelong friend in the skiing held.

5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's an unquestioned truth of modern life that we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally do everything we want. But this idea has been completely backward. ________ We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.
Do we really have no time “I don' t have time" often means” It's not a priority(优先事项)". Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; ________Actually it's a matter of choice.
How do we treat our priorities First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What did we do that made it so amazing Next, we can write them into the next year's performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on next year. ________
________ Scientists find the really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call the "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us do not sit there on Friday afternoon saying, "I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now." But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time on Friday afternoon, and make a list of three-category priorities: careers, relationships and self.
It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. ________ And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in time we've got.
A. it's that we are too busy with it.
B. it's that we don't want to do it.
C. When do we plan our priorities
D. Make sure there's time for the important things.
E. We don't build the lives we want by saving time.
F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.
G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.

9.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Storm chasers
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
Storm chasing is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Though anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life, says Jasper Morley. 'Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth. '

9. Storm chasing is becoming more and more popular in the Midwest of the United States, where storm chasers will drive to the center of the storm to watch it at close range. Though it is full of excitement, it can be very dangerous, and sometimes it can be disappointing because of the unpredictable weather. Still, storm chasers are willing to give it a try.
