(2023 春 ·湖北武汉 · 高一校联考期中) On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner
in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.
Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder
Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage.
In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the cruelly competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back,
shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.
He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an treasure that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff
for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”
4 .What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A .Lost weight. B .Came back to the top.
C .Became famous instantly. D .Dropped out of the competition.
5 .Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years
A .He wanted to change his career.
B .He suffered from serious physical injuries.

D .He can’t handle the pressure of the ATP Tour.
6 .What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement
A .No cross, no crown. B .Well begun is half done.

(2023 秋 · 四川雅安 · 高一校考期末 )LONDON — British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on
Wednesday that boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games is not the right path to take.
“We are ever excited about prospects for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing,” Miliband said in an
interview with Chinese reporters in London before his visit to China.
“Everything we have seen and read suggests that preparations are proceeding in an excellent way. We very much look forward to a very successful Olympics, successful for China and successful for the world. We certainly
believe that boycotts are not a right way,” he said.
“China has big responsibilities around the world. We are looking forward to working with the Chinese government to ensure the values of stability, security and social justice. And only today I spoke with (Chinese Foreign Minister) Yang about our joint work that could help the situation in Darfur. And the Chinese envoy (特使) to Darfur is in London today, that sort of engagement is the right way to go and boycotts are not the right way,”
Miliband said.
“The prime minister (Gordon Brown) is determined to represent the whole of the country with his attendance
to the Games,” he added.
Miliband expressed his high regard to the bilateral ( 双边的) relations between Britain and China. “I can’t think about a time that our relations are stronger, that is symbolized by the visit of the prime minister to China last
month but also by cultural events like China now going on in Britain.”
British people are fascinated by the changes and improvements going on in China, and are trying to build
bridges between the two nations, the foreign secretary said.
“Both our countries are challenged by the facts of globalization. Economic and social changes are producing challenges for both the societies, challenges about security and stability, challenges about justice, challenges about environment, and the theme of my visit is how our two countries can work together and learn from each other in
adapting to these challenges,” the secretary told Chinese reporters.

(2022 春 · 新疆和田 · 高一校考期中)Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of
choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of land, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is
often held responsible for serious water shortage.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep
well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best
of all, it’s free.

(2023 春 ·广东江门 · 高一江门市新会第一中学校考期中) Sodas such as Coke or Pepsi are responsible for adding to health problems like tooth problems and obesity (肥胖). So health leaders have recommended teens cut back on sugar-sweetened sodas. However, their push may have had an unplanned result. Many of the advertisements aimed at teens show fit athletes having sugar-sweetened sports drinks. They make sports drinks
look like a healthy choice for teens compared to sodas. As a result, teens are turning to this kind of drink.
Scientists at Harvard University in Massachusetts focused on teens, who are considered more likely than younger kids to buy their drinks. In 2015, 22,000 high school students were surveyed, and almost 6 in 10 of them reported having at least one sports drink in the past week. That was up slightly from 2010. The Harvard study found that almost one-third of teens drank one to three sports drinks in the previous week. Just over 1 in10 reported having four to six drinks. Teens who played on sports teams were likely to have one or more sports
drinks each day. Boys were more likely than girls to have the drinks, scientists found.
The same was true for teens who watched more than two hours of television. Scientists say they are concerned because of ties between TV watching, ads, and obesity. Experts say that many children don’t need a sports drink that is full of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sweeteners. This especially applies to children sitting
in front of a TV. The better option is water or unsweetened drinks.
“There is no reason to have carbohydrates in sports drinks unless you are in a high-level game, said Nyree Dardarian, the leader of the Center for Integrated Nutrition and Performance. “Someone on a long bike ride or in
an all-day race might want to have one. If children are playing for 20 minutes, they just need water.”
There are other choices. Water and oranges would provide all of the recommended amounts of vitamin C for
kids. Other ideas include flavoring water by adding fruit to it. Kids can also add a small amount ofjuice.
15 .What unplanned result may health leaders’recommendation cause
A .Teenagers are turning to sports drinks instead of sodas.
B .Teenagers are being confused by different ads of drinks.
C .Teenagers are buying more sugar-sweetened sodas.
D .Teenagers are having more health problems.
16 .What is the Harvard study mainly about
A .Teenagers’ favorite kinds of sports drinks.
B .Teenagers’ habits of having sports drinks.
C .The influence of sports drink ads on teens.
D .The group with the greatest tendency to drink sports drinks.
17 .What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A .Playing on sports teams. B .Preferring carbohydrates.
C .Needing no sports drinks. D .Suffering from health problems.
18 .What is implied in Nyree’s words
A .Sports drinks are unsuitable for children with light exercise.
B .People should give up sports drinks with carbohydrates.
C .Sports drinks are a better choice for heavy exercisers.
D .Children should do more outdoor exercise.
(2023 春 · 辽宁抚顺 · 高一校联考期中)It is very important to stay healthy. A lot of people aren’t aware of many benefits of daily exercise and only begin to do so when health complications (并发症) happen. Why then is
it important to stay healthy
Regular exercises will help you bum extra body fat and keep your body vigorous. There are many health complications related to having too much body fat. Heart diseases that are often very deadly are mostly a result of
extra body fat.
Exercising keeps you sharp at all times. Keeping your body active also improves the functioning of the brain. Any kind of exercise is terrific. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good health, such as, basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. There is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. Maybe the reason why you stay angry
easily all the time is due to lack of exercise.
Fitness exercises are ideal for strength building. Regular daily exercise will build body muscles and improve
your physical strength. They are also important in strengthening your back for good postures. People generally
become less active as they grow older, especially when they have small kids that expect to play with them. Daily fitness will help you get the much needed strength and activity to keep up with the youthful energy of your children. Exercising also slows down the aging process by tightening your skin and increasing your body’s
metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate.
Exercising is very important and some of the results of not joining in daily fitness are dangerous. Having fitness goals that actually mean something to you will help you develop a controlled daily fitness and achieve your desired result. These are just some of the benefits of having a strong fitness program. Many people ignore them
and just begin to suffer from lifestyle diseases in their later lives. Exercise is very significant.

(2023 春·广东广州· 高一广州市协和中学校考开学考试)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you’re not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a
trophy (奖杯)
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She’s a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn’t have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who
contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.
Others say that there’s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played
or whether or not they improved.
“I think we should encourage kids’ participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at
Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids’ efforts.”
Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式).” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of
exercise.”
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They’ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there’s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That
means trophies for everyone.
From my point of veiw, the trophy has to stand for something. If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value. Trophies should be given for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, which teaches
kids that adults value hard work and trying out best.
23 .According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy
A .Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
B .David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C .Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team
D .Jim, a soccer player who tries bis best to win the game.
24 .Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with
A .There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B .Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C .Kids should be given trophies for taking part in a sport
D .There is no need to give kids courage to play a sport.
25 .The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”.
A .remember B .stress C .value D .choose
26 .What is the best title of the passage
A .Which one do you agree with B .Who deserves a trophy
C .What is a trophy D .How can kids win a trophy
(2023 春 · 四川达州 · 高一校考期 中) LeBron James is the new all-time scoring leader of the National
Basketball Association (NBA).
He set the record with a jump shot (得分) in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers game Tuesday night against Oklahoma City. James pushed his career total to 38,388 points and passed the scoring record that Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar had held for nearly 39 years.
After he made the shot for his 36th point of the night, James threw both hands in the air, and then smiled. Abdul-Jabbar sat up from his seal and clapped. The game stopped as members of James’ family, including his
mother, his wife and their three children, went to the court for a ceremony honoring the moment.
“I’m there now because I never, ever thought about it,” James said, when asked what the scoring record meant to him.“The only thing I ever thought about was winning championships. But scoring championships and
records, I’m telling you, was never on my mind.”
Abdul-Jabbar was a longtime player for the Lakers. He became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on April 5, 1984 and retired (退休) in 1989 with 38,387 points. It was a record that some thought would last forever, with very few coming close. Great basketball players, including Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan retired
when they were still thousands of points away.
James, who is 38 years old, passed all of them and set the record in his 20th season. Abdul-Jabbar also
played 20 NBA seasons.
During the on-court ceremony, Abdul-Jabbar handed a ball to James, showing a passing of the torch(火炬). James wiped away tears from his eyes and thanked the crowd. He also thanked his family and those who
supported him, including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the late NBA Commissioner David Stern.
“I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about,” James
said.
27 .What did James’ jump shot mean

A .They competed at the same time.
B .They created records by accident.
C .They set the record at the same age.
D .They played the same number of seasons for the record.
30 .Why did Abdul-Jabbar hand a ball to James

(2022 秋 ·全国 · 高一期中)Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, and my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground,
offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnell. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing ( 回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it
everything he had. All around me the crowd cheered. Mickey had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down’s syndrome (唐氏综合征) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a happy hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug
the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored! Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute ( 敬 礼 ) and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams
surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”
