Years ago,I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise.I listened to it every day.I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!
I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him.Unfortunately,however,when that race came about,his left leg was hurt in a car accident.Without him running with me,although I took part in that race,yet I didn’t do quite well in it.
While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury(受伤),he never forgot the promise I made for him.He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future.So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race.What I needed was motivation(动力).It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much,saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.
It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily.I started to think about the repeated words on the CD—“I enjoy exercise”.Instead of dreading exercise,I was thinking,“I enjoy exercise.”
I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day.I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily.Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works.I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life.
How did I do in that race,you might be thinking I actually won the gold medal in my age group.

Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks,or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song,“Lakeside of Baikal”.But over the years,the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been a focus for an extreme sport.
Each March,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.The 26-mile journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore.In March,the ice is a metre thick and iron-hard.Runners cross this frozen surface,finishing on the western side of the lake.
It’s believed that Lake Baikal’s beauty is incomparable.Particularly known as “the Blue Eye of Siberia”,Lake Baikal has extremely clear waters.This means that its ice is almost perfectly transparent(透明的).Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.
The scenery might be beautiful,but strong winds blow across the lake and frostbite(冻伤) can happen within half an hour.Runners say the cold climate is what attracts them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.
“When you are in such an environment,you don’t have cars around you,and you don’t have the noise around.I think these extreme races push you to be alone,” Alicja Barahona,a 64-year-old runner from the US said.
The place offers some strange and unique features for this marathon.Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to taking pictures and just ignore the runners.
For runners,without people watching and cheering for them,the race becomes more challenging and lonely.They must fight with themselves.“You are alone on Baikal.It is your race.You are alone with yourself.All you need to do is defeat yourself,” Veronique Messina,a French runner,told The Telegraph.
28.What has kept Lake Baikal being a focus over the years
A.A famous Chinese singer.
B.A popular song in Russia.
C.The coldness of Lake Baikal.
D.The Baikal Ice Marathon.
29.What is Lake Baikal particularly known for
A.Its beautiful scenery.
B.The runners.
C.Its clear waters.
D.The strong winds.
30.Why do runners participate in the Baikal Ice Marathon
A.They want to test their own limits.
B.They like the competition with others.
C.They intend to draw much attention.
D.They prefer to get close to nature.
31.Why is Veronique Messina mentioned at last
A.To prove the power of the runners for the Baikal Ice Marathon.
B.To show that runners must fight against themselves in the Marathon.
C.To explain that independence is important for marathon runners.
D.To present the necessity of paying attention to marathon runners.

Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests.That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries.Now,another research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes.
The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education.They are using the time instead for academic(学术的) subjects like math and reading.The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014.They included more than 55,000 children,aged 6 to 18.
Amika Singh said,“According to the results of our study,we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance.There are,first,physiological explanations,like more blood flow,and so more oxygen to the brain.Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins(内啡肽).And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved,which means you also perform better.”
Also,students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them.This could improve their classroom behavior and help them keep their mind on their work.
The study leaves some questions unanswered,however.Ms Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement.This is because of differences among the studies.
The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies.They needed more high-quality studies to confirm(证实) their findings.They also pointed out that “results for other parts of the world may be quite different”.
Still,the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school.Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.Her paper on “Physical Activity and Performance at School” is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
32.What does the passage mainly tells us
A.A research on physical education has been done by the researchers.
B.There is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher grades.
C.The amount or kind of activity directly affects academic level.
D.The research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don’t do sports.
33.Which of the following is TRUE
A.Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.
B.The more hormones you have,the more stressed you will get.
C.The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.
D.The educators in some countries think studies,not exercise,mean much to students.
34.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Good marks result from high-quality study.
B.Findings are probably different in different areas.
C.Physical activity will spread all over the world.
D.Academic performance depends on the surroundings.
35.What’s the purpose of writing the passage
A.To call our attention to the sports at school.
B.To introduce all types of physical activities.
C.To represent the academic performance.
D.To improve students’ health.

Teenagers around Steve were interested in playing video games and they often shared their experience about how to play well.Steve was a very clever boy.He was good at playing games.He would win at any game he played.He won so many times that everyone around him saw him as champion.
In fact,Steve not only became an expert at all kinds of skills but he was also good at cheating because he couldn’t stand losing to anyone.He became so skilled at cheating that he could play practically and win any game by cheating without even being noticed.Every time he beat other boys,he would be proud to see others admiring him and praising his excellent skills.He enjoyed that feeling.

Let’s first talk about the importance of exercise.Many people today live a “modern” life.You may,for instance,drive to work,sit in an office all day,then drive home and spend the evening watching TV.That kind of lifestyle is not very healthy.In fact,it can lead to all kinds of health problems.One of the most common problems is heart disease,but other common results are being overweight and having high blood pressure.
Let me suggest some ways to exercise.In the first place,you should start exercising slowly,15 to 20 minutes each day,and slowly increase your amount of exercise.In this way you can avoid injury.Another thing is to choose an activity you enjoy,and one you’ll stick to.In general,exercising is much more fun if you do it with other people.

33.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests.”可知,一些教育家认为,学习时间长能帮助学生在智力测试中得高分。根据最后一段中的“Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.”可知,Ms Singh建议学校减少体育项目前考虑一下这些研究结果。由此推知,一些国家的教育者认为学习对学生更重要,而不是锻炼。
34.B 句意猜测题。根据第五段“The study leaves some questions unanswered,however.Ms Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement.This is because of differences among the studies.”可知,该研究还留下了一些未解之谜。辛格女士说,无法确定是运动量还是运动类型影响到学术水平的提高。因为这些研究之间存在差异。根据第六段中的“The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies.They needed more high-quality studies to confirm their findings.”可知,研究人员只发现两项高质量研究,他们呼吁进行更多高质量研究以确认他们的发现。所以画线句子意为,世界上不同地区的结果可能大不一样。
35.A 推理判断题。文章前几段说明了体育锻炼对成绩提高的好处,最后一段提到“Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.(辛格女士说,学校应该在削减体育课之前,考虑一下这一研究发现。)”,所以作者写本文是为了呼吁学校要认识到体育锻炼的好处,重视体育运动。

36.C 根据上句“but you might be surprised to know just how good”可知,C项“Here are some benefits of exercise.”承接上文,并和下文的建议相呼应。
37.F 根据上句“The World Health Organization estimates that the number of people with dementia will double in the next 30 years.”可知,F项“However,regular exercise could save you from dementia.”和上句构成转折关系,其中“dementia”为原词复现。
38.E 根据下句“Walking,running and yoga strengthen stomach muscles”可知,E项“Your stomach feels more comfortable after exercise.”和下一句呼应,说明运动对胃部的好处,其中“stomach”为原词复现。
39.A 设空处概括本段内容,为本段小标题,且设空处与上下段的首句句式应保持一致。根据下句“Just 15 minutes of exercise a day for eight years can increase your lifespan by three years.(每天锻炼15分钟,坚持8年,就能延长3年寿命)”可知,运动让人保持年轻。A项概括本段主旨。
40.D 根据上句“If you’ve had a bad day,a quick power walk is a brilliant stress reliever.”可知,D项承接上句,说明快步走的好处。

56.On 考查介词。句意:2020年12月7日,国际奥林匹克委员会(IOC)宣布,在2024年巴黎夏季奥运会上,霹雳舞将成为一项奥林匹克运动。在具体的某月某日前用介词on,注意句首字母大写。

63.Although/Though/While 考查连词。句意:虽然霹雳舞通常被认为是街舞的一种风格,但由于其竞技性,它比其他舞蹈更容易被归类为体育项目。分析句子可知,空格处需要填入Although/Though/While来引导让步状语从句。

写作
第一节
I Love Sports
In my daily life,I love all kinds of sports,among which jogging is my favorite.Of course,it has certain rules.Firstly,the intensity of jogging should be reasonable.Besides,jogging posture does not have to be too professional because we will do it at a relaxing pace.Just relax your shoulders and lean forward while jogging.The range should be natural and comfortable.
Jogging can not only improve the function of the heart,but also release bad mood.So I decide to stick to it.
