语篇品读 Teenagers' fitness。 Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern. to which physical exercise is very important. It eases stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right weight. A sports scientist, Dr. Helen Lopez, offers the following advice to teenagers, “First, you need to find out your present fitness level. Then you can make a programme that will help you become healthier." Dr. Lopez says that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person does very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem." Inactive" means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports but do not have a high fitness level. According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy." Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories. “Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises at the same time, such as push- ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty for each a day.” Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The rules are same to active teenagers. Dr. Lopez suggests spending one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be included in the programme in order to increase the person's strength. 全文翻译 青少年的健康 青少年的健康现在是一个大问题。体育锻炼是非常重要的。它可以缓解压力，提高身体素质。运动使你的身体强壮，并帮助你保持正确的体重。运动科学家海伦·洛佩斯博士给青少年提供了以下建议:“首先，你需要找出你目前的健康水平。然后你可以制定一个计划，帮助你变得更健康。” 洛佩兹博士说，有三个层次的健康需要改变生活方式。“超重”是指这个人很少运动，而且经常有严重的体重问题。“不活跃”是指这个人不参加很多体育活动，但没有严重超重。“活跃”指的是参加体育运动但身体健康水平不高的人。 根据洛佩兹博士的说法，超重的青少年应该保持活跃以保持健康。”骑自行车，打一会儿排球或篮球，每天散步20分钟。所有这些都有助于燃烧卡路里。“不爱运动的青少年也应该做类似的活动，但同时要增加一些弯曲和伸展运动，比如俯卧撑和仰卧起坐，从每天20个开始。”不运动的人可以比超重的人多做一点运动，因为他们的身体更强壮，”洛佩兹博士说。对于活跃的青少年来说，规则是一样的。洛佩兹建议每周花一个小时或更长时间进行跑步和其他形式的高强度运动，同时每天花15分钟进行伸展和弯曲运动。“为了防止受伤，这些真的很重要，”洛佩兹博士说。一些重量训练和其他增强身体的运动也可以包括在计划中，以增加人的力量。 词汇积累 1.fitness n.[U]健康 2. major adj. 主要的 3.concern n. 关注，关心，担心 4. ease v. 减轻，缓轻 5. overweight adj.超重的 6. inactive adj.不活动的，不活跃的 7. refer to 谈到，涉及 8. similar adj. 相似的 9. stretch v. 伸展，延伸 10. bend v. 弯腰 11. in order to 为了 12. strength n. 力气，力量

She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children—both of her sons—died in accidents. Keeling had sunk into a deep depression. Her health had begun to slide and her daughter, Cheryl, began to worry that she soon might be losing her mother as well. Keeling’s daughter is a lifelong athlete. That may be what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67. It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first “mini-run” was wonderful. “I just threw off all my bad memories,” Keeling says. She hasn’t stopped running since, and it’s no longer the difficulty it was during that first meet. Since then, Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over 100 group. “I was just exercising,” she says, “and now I’m all over the world.” When she’s not running, she’s working out. She’s in the gym three to four days a week, running, working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike—and even exercising while she’s cooking. Part of her healthy diet is an occasional dose of red wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid blood circulation. She’s written a book about her experiences, titled Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time. Her philosophy is also fit for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.” 全文翻译 跑步让她走出沮丧 艾达·基林在哈莱姆的贫困家庭中长大，在大萧条时期在工厂里干着艰苦的苦活。她失去了丈夫。她的四个孩子中的两个——她的两个儿子——都死于意外。基林陷入了深深的萧条。她的健康状况开始下滑，她的女儿谢丽尔开始担心她很快就会失去母亲。 基林的女儿是一名终身运动员。这也许能把她母亲从阴霾中拉出来。她建议去跑步。不只是绕着街区慢跑，而是正式的跑步。当时，艾达·基林67岁。 基林已经有几十年没有跑步了，她后来回忆说，第一次“迷你跑步”非常棒。基林说:“我只是摆脱了所有不好的记忆。”从那以后，她就再也没有停止过跑步，也不再像第一次跑步时那样困难了。从那以后，基林在95-99岁年龄组的60米和100米以上年龄组的100米比赛中创造了纪录。“我只是在锻炼，”她说，“现在 我在世界各地。” 当她不跑步的时候，她在锻炼。她每周去健身房三到四天，跑步、举重、骑健身自行车——甚至在做饭的时候也锻炼。她的健康饮食的一部分是偶尔喝一杯红酒和咖啡或水混合，以帮助血液循环。她将自己的经历写成了一本书，名为《没有什么能让我失望:在与时间的赛跑中追逐自己》。她的哲学也适用于跑步 者：“每一天都是新的一天。” 句式仿写 1．你最终会发现，所有汗水和辛劳都是值得的，没什么比这更令人满足了。（that 引导宾语从句） ________________________________________________ 2. 这就是我今天讲话的重点：你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。(what引导表语从句) ______________________________________________ 3．众所周知，真正的财富不在于我们是做什么的，而来自努力和机遇。（not…but…） _____________________________________________ 4. 一看到大海，大海的浩瀚和令人惊叹的美丽给我们留下了深刻的印象。 _____________________________________________

人与社会 体育锻炼 运动解决了母女之间的分歧 340 5min ★★★★☆
阅读理解
（2023上·江苏宿迁·高一统考期中）When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly refused me. “I’m not sporty; stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her.
Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.
Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis ” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house.
Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.
I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely.
Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.
1．Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis
A．Tennis was as popular as ping-pong.
B．They had a good time playing tennis together.
C．It would help her daughter make more like-minded friends.
D．It would be good for her daughter’s emotional management.
2．What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2
A．Not dishonest. B．Not sure. C．Not discouraged. D．Not surprised.
3．What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball
A．She stood close to the net. B．She repeated hitting the ball.
C．She changed ends with her daughter. D．She instructed her daughter immediately.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Mom Coaches Teen Daughter in Tennis
B．Mom Helps Teen Daughter Express Her Emotions
C．Mom Encourages Teen Daughter to Be Independent
D．Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court
【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述的是一位母亲发现和女儿一起参加竞技运动有助于解决她们之间的分歧。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。我知道运动是如何缓解压力的。当我还是个小女孩的时候，这对我很有效。)”可知，作者认为进行体育运动有助于女儿管理情绪，青少年时期的作者深有体会，由此可知，作者之所以要说服女儿从事体育运动是因为她认为体育运动对她女儿的情绪管理有好处。故选D项。
2．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“But my suggestion was always refused by her.(但我的建议总是被她拒绝。)”可知，作者建议女儿从事体育运动的建议总是被拒绝，根据划线单词前的still可知，此处意为“然而”，与上文为转折关系，结合下文中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。)”可知，作者认为运动可以帮助女儿管理情绪，所以很坚持要女儿从事运动；由此可知，划线单词undeterred的意思是“不泄气”，与C选项Not discouraged的意义相近。故选C项。
3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand.(我一开始把球打过了网，朱莉安娜挥了一大步，没打中。我们又重复了几次。我没有告诉她，她把球拍拿得离脖子太近，或者她应该更多地用正手击球。)”可知，在作者女儿Julianna没有击中球，他们又重复了几次，而且作者并没有告诉她应该如何击球，由此可知，在作者女儿没有击中球的时候，作者重复击球。故选B项。
4．主旨大意题。根据尾段“Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.(现在我们总是找时间打网球。我们都渴望一项活动，可以缓解我们在日常生活中的紧张关系。能有个地方让我们俩都能释放负面情绪，让它们散去，真是太好了。)”可知，现在作者与女儿经常找时间去打网球，这样缓解了他们在日常生活中的紧张关系，还可以释放负面情绪，结合上文讲述的女儿拒绝从事运动的建议到后来开始喜欢上打网球的经历可知，本文主要讲述的是一位妈妈与十几岁的女儿从事网球运动帮助他们解决了她们之间的一些紧张关系，D选项“Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court(妈妈和十几岁的女儿在网球场上找到了一些平静)”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

人与社会 体育锻炼 骑自行车的好处 331 5 min ★★★★☆
阅读理解
(2023上·山东青岛·高一校联考期中）Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, ages 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
5．What does the new study mainly focus on
A．Challenges in middle school. B．Youths in America.
C．Physical benefits of cycling. D．Mental effects of bike riding.
6．What did the students do in the program
A．Attend the cycling class for a week.
B．Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C．Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D．Design questions to measure their health.
7．What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Negative.
8．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Application of the research results.
B．Doubts about the research methods.
C．Further explanation of the research findings.
D．Supporting evidence from previous research.
【答案】5．D 6．B 7．A 8．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，骑自行车除了可以锻炼身体，还对青少年的大脑和社会关系有好处，且这种好处会有性别差异，也受到其他健康因素的影响。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers. (洛马林达大学医学院的研究人员Wilson和他的合著者进行了一项新的研究，看看参加自行车项目是否会给青少年的思想带来可衡量的变化。)”可知，这项新研究关注骑自行车对青少年精神的影响。故选D项。
6．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. (在提高心率和享受乐趣的同时，他们学习了骑自行车的安全，在户外练习技巧。)”可知，在该项目中学生学习如何在骑自行车时保持安全。故选B项。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段中Wilson所说的话“Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. (我们的研究表明，它对大脑和社会关系也有好处)”可知，该研究发现骑自行车也有益于大脑和社会关系；再结合第四段中Reiss所说的话“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity (骑自行车涉及大脑的几个部分的功能。你在留心你听到的东西，你在平衡，你在操纵和转弯。通常，你是和别人一起做的，所以陪伴或团体活动有积极的影响)”可知，Reiss也认为骑自行车可以锻炼大脑的多个功能，且其过程中的陪伴或团体活动有积极意义。由此推知，Reiss对研究发现持支持的态度。故选A项。
8．主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是其中的“While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. (虽然运动对精神健康有很大的好处，但并不是普遍的)”和“And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. (Wilson指出，健康生活的其他方面也很重要)”可知，本段从两个方面对研究结果做出进一步的解释，一是骑自行车对精神健康的好处存在性别差异，女孩少于男孩，二是其他有关健康生活的因素也会影响这种好处的大小，例如屏幕时间和睡眠时间的长短。故选C项。

人与社会 体育锻炼 锻炼有益于心脏 357 6 min ★★★★☆
(2022·新高考I卷)
As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be.In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s.And among people who don't exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band.In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr.Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas.That's what happens to the heart.Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven't been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy.Participants were randomly divided into two groups.The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week.The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.“And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn't change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven't already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says.“We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr.Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine's findings are a great start.But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
12.What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band
A.The right way of exercising.
B.The causes of a heart attack.
C.The difficulty of keeping fit.
D.The aging process of the heart.
13.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
A.Diet plan.
B.Professional background.
C.Exercise type.
D.Previous physical condition.
14.What does Levine's research find
A.Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B.High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C.It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D.The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
15.What does Dr.Nieca Goldberg suggest
A.Making use of the findings.
B.Interviewing the study participants.
C.Conducting further research.
D.Clarifying the purpose of the study.
答案：12.D13.C14.A15.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是锻炼对于心脏的好处。
12.D。推理判断题。根据第二段的本·莱文博士说的话以及That's what happens to the heart.可知,莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程。故选D。
13.C。推理判断题。根据第三段的第三、四句:第一组每周参加三次无氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练,第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多天的高强度有氧运动。由此可知,两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同。故选C。
14.A。细节理解题。根据第三段的The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.和第四段莱文说的话可知,莱文的研究发现了通过有氧运动,中年人的心脏会变得更年轻。故选A。
15.C。推理判断题。根据最后一段的But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.可知,妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。故选C。

（2022·新高考Ⅰ卷）
Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,” while another read: “ 36 ” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won t result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A.Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B.A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C.You ll work harder if you train with someone else.
D.Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport
E.How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice
F.Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.
G.Any notice for a training partner should include such information.
答案：36-40 CDBGF
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了寻找锻炼同伴的一些建议。
36.【解析】选C。空前面给出的一个原因是You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,此处提到的是另外一个原因。根据前面列出的原因的句子结构可知,空处句子也应该以You开头。另外,空后面提到“有一个锻炼伙伴,你会增加你的训练付出,因为有一种微妙的竞争。”C选项表示:如果和别人一起训练,你会更加努力。由此可知,C选项符合语境。
37.【解析】选D。根据空后面的“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility ”可知,填空处需要一个疑问句。空前面的句子提到:首先,决定你想从那个人身上得到什么。D选项表示:你想在你最喜欢的运动中成为一个更好的运动员吗 由此可知,D选项与空后面的句子结构一致且符合语境。
38.【解析】选B。空后面一句提到:如果你计划在一个健身房锻炼,你寻找的健身同伴必须属于同一个健身房。B选项表示:健身伙伴通常需要住在附近。在同一个健身房锻炼的应该是住在附近的人们,故B选项符合语境。
39.【解析】选G。空前面举例说明了“我”的一个同伴怎样在当地公园里布告牌上张贴她的训练的需求以及她的情况,由此可知这是给出一个示例。G选项表示:对培训伙伴的任何通知都应包括这些信息。G选项符合语境。前面的notice与选项中的notice为词汇复现。
40.【解析】选F。空前面一句提到:你和你的同伴可能会有不同的技能。空后面一句提到:随着时间的推移,你们俩都会受益——你的同伴会举起更多的重量,你会变得更健康。F选项表示:接受你们之间的差异,学会相互合作。由此可知F选项符合语境。前句中的different与选项中的differences为同义复现。

Inactive" means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports but do not have a high fitness level. According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy." Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories. “Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises at the same time, such as push- ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty for each a day.” Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The rules are same to active teenagers. Dr. Lopez suggests spending one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said.

She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children—both of her sons—died in accidents. Keeling had sunk into a deep depression. Her health had begun to slide and her daughter, Cheryl, began to worry that she soon might be losing her mother as well. Keeling’s daughter is a lifelong athlete. That may be what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67. It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first “mini-run” was wonderful. “I just threw off all my bad memories,” Keeling says. She hasn’t stopped running since, and it’s no longer the difficulty it was during that first meet. Since then, Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over 100 group. “I was just exercising,” she says, “and now I’m all over the world.” When she’s not running, she’s working out. She’s in the gym three to four days a week, running, working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike—and even exercising while she’s cooking. Part of her healthy diet is an occasional dose of red wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid blood circulation. She’s written a book about her experiences, titled Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time. Her philosophy is also fit for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.” 全文翻译 跑步让她走出沮丧 艾达·基林在哈莱姆的贫困家庭中长大，在大萧条时期在工厂里干着艰苦的苦活。她失去了丈夫。她的四个孩子中的两个——她的两个儿子——都死于意外。基林陷入了深深的萧条。她的健康状况开始下滑，她的女儿谢丽尔开始担心她很快就会失去母亲。 基林的女儿是一名终身运动员。这也许能把她母亲从阴霾中拉出来。她建议去跑步。不只是绕着街区慢跑，而是正式的跑步。当时，艾达·基林67岁。 基林已经有几十年没有跑步了，她后来回忆说，第一次“迷你跑步”非常棒。基林说:“我只是摆脱了所有不好的记忆。”从那以后，她就再也没有停止过跑步，也不再像第一次跑步时那样困难了。从那以后，基林在95-99岁年龄组的60米和100米以上年龄组的100米比赛中创造了纪录。“我只是在锻炼，”她说，“现在 我在世界各地。” 当她不跑步的时候，她在锻炼。她每周去健身房三到四天，跑步、举重、骑健身自行车——甚至在做饭的时候也锻炼。她的健康饮食的一部分是偶尔喝一杯红酒和咖啡或水混合，以帮助血液循环。她将自己的经历写成了一本书，名为《没有什么能让我失望:在与时间的赛跑中追逐自己》。她的哲学也适用于跑步 者：“每一天都是新的一天。” 句式仿写 1．你最终会发现，所有汗水和辛劳都是值得的，没什么比这更令人满足了。（that 引导宾语从句） ________________________________________________ 2. 这就是我今天讲话的重点：你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。(what引导表语从句) ______________________________________________ 3．众所周知，真正的财富不在于我们是做什么的，而来自努力和机遇。（not…but…） _____________________________________________ 4. 一看到大海，大海的浩瀚和令人惊叹的美丽给我们留下了深刻的印象。 _____________________________________________

（2023上·江苏宿迁·高一统考期中）When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly refused me. “I’m not sporty; stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her.
Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.
Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis ” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house.
Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.
I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely.
Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.
1．Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis
A．Tennis was as popular as ping-pong.

3．What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball
A．She stood close to the net. B．She repeated hitting the ball.
C．She changed ends with her daughter. D．She instructed her daughter immediately.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text

(2023上·山东青岛·高一校联考期中）Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, ages 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
5．What does the new study mainly focus on
A．Challenges in middle school. B．Youths in America.
C．Physical benefits of cycling. D．Mental effects of bike riding.
6．What did the students do in the program
A．Attend the cycling class for a week.
B．Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C．Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D．Design questions to measure their health.
7．What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Negative.
8．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Application of the research results.
B．Doubts about the research methods.
C．Further explanation of the research findings.
D．Supporting evidence from previous research.

(2022·新高考I卷)
As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be.In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s.And among people who don't exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band.In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr.Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas.That's what happens to the heart.Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven't been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy.Participants were randomly divided into two groups.The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week.The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.“And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn't change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven't already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says.“We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr.Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine's findings are a great start.But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
12.What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band
A.The right way of exercising.
B.The causes of a heart attack.

D.The aging process of the heart.
13.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
