Jacky Hunt-Broers ma, who lost one leg to cancer, is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon runs. She set her goal in mid-January. And since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. Most of the time, she averages just over five hours to complete a run. If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day, she will reach her goal by April 28.
Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Currently, she runs on an artificial leg made of a strong, light material known as carbon fiber. The material, which is designed specially for running, costs about $10, 000.
But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. The biggest struggle used to be that she had to admit part of her body was gone. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee (截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”
However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’” she said.
Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others. She tells people, “You’re stronger than you think and you’re able to do so much more.”
4. What is Jacky’s goal according to paragraph 1
A. To defeat a deadly disease. B. To break her 5-hour record.
C. To be a professional runner. D. To finish 102 marathon runs.
5. What may Jacky think of her running
A. Difficult but rewarding. B. Interesting but challenging.
C. Enjoyable and eye-opening. D. Stressful and time-consuming.
6. Why does Jacky record her running online
A. To prove her ability. B. To encourage others.
C. To gain wider attention. D. To increase her confidence.
7. Which of the following best describes Jacky’s experience
A. Health is the key to happiness.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favours the prepared mind.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D

Born in California and representing the United States before switching to China, teenager Gu Ailing will be most likely to be one of the faces of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The 17-year-old is a freeskier (自由式滑雪运动员) and grade-A student with an American father and Chinese mother. She grew up and still lives in the United States, but in June 2019 she made the “quite difficult” decision to compete for China.

Gu started on the snow at the age of 3, was competing in national competitions at 9 and won her first World Cup event at 15. She won two gold medals and a silver for China at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland. On Jan. 30th, 2021, Gu made her debut (首次亮相) at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado and won two golds and a bronze.

8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Born in California and representing the United States (出生在加州，代表美国)”和第三段中“As for the decision to compete on behalf of China (至于代表中国参赛的决定)”可知，谷爱凌之前是代表美国参赛的，后来决定代表中国参赛。由此可知，此处指她转变为代表中国，switching to意思应该是“转变”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She grew up and still lives in the United States, but in June 2019 she made the “quite difficult” decision to compete for China. (她在美国长大，现在仍然生活在美国，但在2019年6月，她做出了一个“相当艰难”的决定，代表中国参赛)”可知，谷爱凌决定代表中国参赛。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It is reported that she scored 1,580 points out of a maximum 1,600 in the SAT (美国大学入学考试), and has been offered a place at Stanford. (据报道，她在美国大学入学考试中获得了1580分（满分1600分），并被斯坦福大学录取)”和最后一段中谷爱凌所说的话“My goal is to win Olympic gold (我的目标是赢得奥运金牌)”可知，谷爱凌成绩优异，因此是聪明的，而且渴望赢得奥运金牌，因此是有抱负的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Born in California and representing the United States before switching to China, teenager Gu Ailing will be most likely to be one of the faces of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. (谷爱凌出生于加州，在转投中国之前曾代表美国参赛，她最有可能成为2022年北京冬奥会的面孔之一)”可知，文章主要围绕决定代表中国参加比赛的谷爱凌展开，文中突出了她的核心身份：代表中国的自由式滑雪运动员，介绍了她在滑雪上的天赋和成就，以及她的学习成绩和比赛目标。因此，C项“谷爱凌——一位有天赋的中国自由式滑雪运动员”准确概括了她的身份和特质，适合作为标题。故选C项。
D
In an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.
Yin Yang yoga is a combination (结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.
If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.
If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!
As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.
B. We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.
C. Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.
D. Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.
13. What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Independent from one another.
B. Competitive against one another.
C. Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.
D. Different from each other but together making a good combination.
14. Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures
A. Relaxing muscles. B. Building stamina.
C. Strengthening the body. D. Quickening the heartbeat.
15. What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs
A. Hold each Yin posture for longer than 5 minutes.
B. Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.
C. Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.
D. Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阴阳瑜伽。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.(但在现实中，随着工作和家庭的需求不断增长，我们只能在可以的时候抓住锻炼身体的机会。充分利用这段时间来练习阴阳瑜伽，它混合了瑜伽的动态和慢节奏元素，帮助你保持活跃和放松)”可知，阴阳瑜伽是我们忙碌时的一种体育锻炼选择。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线处上句“Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. (阴是不活跃的、冷却的、消极的，与女性的力量有关。阳是活跃的，温暖的，积极的，与行动和运动有关) ”以及后句“as one cannot exist without the other. (因为一个人离不开另一个) ”可知，他们彼此不同，但在一起形成了一个很好的组合。故划线词complementary意为“相互补充的，相辅相成的”，和D项“Different from each other but together making a good combination(彼此不同，但在一起形成一个很好的组合)”含义相近。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“...followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system. (然后是更安静的阴瑜伽练习，给我们一个更深的伸展和平静的神经系统)”以及文章第五段中“After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!(半小时后，你的心脏会跳动，肌肉会收紧，你会感到精力充沛，但准备好休息了。然后选择五个阴的姿势，保持3-5分钟，如果你喜欢的话，甚至更长时间!)”可推知，阴的姿势可以放松肌肉。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.(一如既往，如果你是瑜伽初学者或有健康问题，一定要先参加训练有素的教练的课程，以指导你安全地完成瑜伽练习，避免受伤) ”可知，作者建议在教练的指导下开始你的瑜伽练习。故选C。

● Drop to the ground. The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous “stop, drop and roll” for fires.

● Hold on. ___19___ Hold on to whatever surface or platform you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you were unable to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏，隐藏) down low.
● ___20___ Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe.
A. Stay inside until it’s safe to get out.
B. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了独自学习的类型和好处。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：说到独自学习，我们经常想象自己坐在卧室或安静的图书馆里，桌子上放着书和笔记。固定短语by oneself独自，这里的主语是we，所以用ourselves。故填ourselves。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们用手抱着头，试图理解概念。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。主语we与动词try是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填trying。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，独自学习带来了很多好处。句中用副词作状语，修饰整个句子。故填Actually。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：事实上，独自学习带来了很多好处。空格前是限定词many，所以用名词的复数形式。故填benefits。
【40题详解】
考查省略。句意：当我们把自己锁在卧室里时，我们更有可能专注于阅读。在when引导的时间状语从句中，若谓语部分含有be动词，而主语又跟主句主语相同，则从句中主语和be动词常一起省略。逻辑主语we与动词lock是被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。故填locked。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们把自己锁在卧室里时，我们更有可能专注于阅读。固定短语concentrate on专注。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，每个人都是不同的，这意味着每个人学习不同。空处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代的是前文整个句子，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：有些可能需要有背景音乐的环境，而有些可能需要完全安静。前后句为对比性转折关系，所以用连词while。故填while。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：无论如何，独自学习让我们在完美的学习环境中学习。根据文章时态可知，用一般现在时，动名词作主语谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填allows。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在这个意义上，独自学习是一种有效的学习方式。名词way前用形容词修饰。故填effective。

Jacky Hunt-Broers ma, who lost one leg to cancer, is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon runs. She set her goal in mid-January. And since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. Most of the time, she averages just over five hours to complete a run. If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day, she will reach her goal by April 28.
Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Currently, she runs on an artificial leg made of a strong, light material known as carbon fiber. The material, which is designed specially for running, costs about $10, 000.
But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. The biggest struggle used to be that she had to admit part of her body was gone. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee (截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”
However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’” she said.
Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others. She tells people, “You’re stronger than you think and you’re able to do so much more.”

She grew up and still lives in the United States, but in June 2019 she made the “quite difficult” decision to compete for China.

As for the decision to compete on behalf of China, she said it is a “valuable opportunity to help inspire millions of young people in China where my mom was born”.

In an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.
Yin Yang yoga is a combination (结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.
If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.
If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!
As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.
B. We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.
C. Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.
D. Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.
13. What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Independent from one another.
B. Competitive against one another.
C. Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.
D. Different from each other but together making a good combination.
14. Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures
A. Relaxing muscles. B. Building stamina.
C. Strengthening the body. D. Quickening the heartbeat.
15. What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs
A. Hold each Yin posture for longer than 5 minutes.
B. Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.
C. Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.
D. Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.
