Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.
Charlotte’s Web (2006)
Story: The power of friendship between a pig(Wilbur) and a spider(Charlotte).
The live-action film, a fine adaptation of E. B. White’s book, will entertain the young audience with cute talking animals and easy-to-follow language. Adults will also be charmed by heartwarming good time and learn to look at the world with curiosity and joy.
Toy Story(1995)
Story: A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.
The storylines are clear and the characters use simple but useful language. Though it’s mainly for kids, Toy Story doesn’t feel childish. The story and jokes also attracted adults, so parents would be more likely to take their children to see the film.
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Story: Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
This film is also great for English learners as it is generally easy to follow. And you’ll hear some extracts(选段) from English literature because Willy often quotes well-known writers such as Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare.
The Sound of Music(1965)
Story: A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.
The Sound of Music is a musical and listening to music is one of the best ways to improve your English. Many of the film’s songs have become classics because they’re so catchy.
21. Which movie attracts cartoon lovers most
A. Charlotte’s Web(2006). B. Toy Story(1995).
C. Charlie & the Chocolate Factory(1971). D. The Sound of Music(1965).
22. What do Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and The Sound of Music have in common
A. They are preferred by housewives. B. They are musicals.
C. They are based on classic works. D. They have children characters.
23. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A music blog. B. A language magazine.
C. A movie poster. D. A toy advertisement.
B
His journey started when one of his neighbors, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650, 000 meals.
The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors.
As a non-profit organisation, Wiling Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not trouble Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.
24. What does Willing Hearts do
A. It collects vegetables. B. It delivers rice to the poor.
C. It helps the elderly to cook. D. It makes meals for the needy.
25. What does Mr. Tay intend to show to the younger generation
A. The true life of poor people. B. The advantage of social life.
C. The way of gaining knowledge. D. The firsthand experience of volunteers.
26. Which of the following can be used to describe Mr. Tay
A. Showy and generous. B. Hardworking and positive.
C. Caring and demanding. D. Creative and humorous.
27. What is the suitable title of the text
A. A Couple Helping Others B. Volunteering Benefiting a Lot
C. Willing Hearts Lending a Hand D. A Tie Strengthening Volunteers
C
Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo (水牛) lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat (威胁).The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant. while the commercial value of beef protects the cow
The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.
Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to decrease. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property.
With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.”
28. Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
B. To provide an example of species extinction.
C. To offer an explanation for government policies.
D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
29. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe
A. They are under different law protection B. They attract different groups of hunters
C. They contain different commercial value D. They represent different ownership types
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory B. Effective laws for elephant protection.
C. Methods of making elephants private goods D. Government policies on the elephant’s problem
31. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words
A. People hold little regard for others’ property B. People want to profit from common resources
C. People care more about their own possession D. People tend to take what they own for granted
D
Most of us have heard of the 3Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, there’s a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.
3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustainable life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You can’t lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small and
comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.
The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.
A water tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and the water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.
“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly fruit and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.
After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.
32．What does the underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean
A．In a rush. B．On a regular basis.
C．Without any reason. D．As a common practice.
33．What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab
A．To reduce food waste. B．To promote healthy eating.
C．To sell new kinds of fruit. D．To provide more affordable fruit,
34．What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors
A．The water pollution caused by plastics. B．The degradation of PHA straws.
C．The interaction between two types of straws. D．The disappearance of normal plastic straws.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni
A．She avoids going to traditional markets. B．She has devoted less time to her hobbies.
C．She has got rid of a few bad habits. D．She is leading a low carbon life now.

Want to look forward to your workouts instead of counting down the minutes for them to be over Read on for tips on how to enjoy working out.
36
Looking back, what made my fitness routine in my younger years fun was that I did most activities with different friends or took classes where there was a strong social activity. It's always easier to get inspired and push yourself out of your comfort zone when you're not alone. Find a like-minded partner and your exercise will be that much easier. And, get creative. 37 .
Remove the Pressure
Setting small goals helps remove pressure that a seemingly unrealistic goal might cause. 38 . Consider putting on your shoes and doing 20 jumping jacks, or take a 10-minute walk. Setting small, accomplishable goals helps you to build up good feelings about yourself, establish trust with yourself, and make failure impossible.
Treat Yourself
Another thing that can get you out for your workout is knowing that you have something to look forward to when you return. Only allow yourself to earn the reward if you complete exercise. 39 . Pick something fun that will get you to lace up and work out.
Get Outside
Do you remember the feeling of itching (渴望) to go out when you were a kid Recreate that draw with your workout. Most of us spend most of our day inside, so instead of taking on an indoor workout, exercise outdoors for a change of scenery — and additional physical and mental benefits. 40 . Depression may be linked to separation from the natural world. Getting outside is a cure, which can heal, release stress, bring joy, and restore your spirits. Getting sunlight, which contains vitamin D, is also a good mood booster.
A. Do What You Love
B. Make It Social
C. Plus, it boosts the mood
D. For outdoor activities, your partner can even be your pet dog
E. Especially if you're just starting out on your exercise, the goals can be really small
F. This connects workout with happiness and satisfaction, contributing to your exercise routine
G. Leaving something like coffee to look forward to after exercise can be an extra inspiration during your workout

Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating My friend Stella is such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a bite until all the dishes we 41 were on the table. Then she would spend five minutes in 42 the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 43 order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the 44 and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 45 to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Stella’s real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.
Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 46 others. They find it hard to be 47 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their 48 life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 49 what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any 50 to reality, as they still 51 the same old pattern of life.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 52 into achieving it 53 fabricating(伪造) it. Being more confident, 54 themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than 55 their life on social media.
41. A. ordered B. served C. offered D. prepared
42. A. cooking B. washing C. setting D. collecting
43. A. messy B. arranged C. casual D. missed
44. A. dishes B. restaurants C. tables D. pictures
45. A. chance B. choice C. excuse D. reason
46. A. comfort B. please C. inspire D. discourage
47. A. independent B. generous C. responsible D. confident
48. A. real B. secret C. peaceful D. healthy
49. A. rarely B. hardly C. exactly D. nearly
50. A. difficulty B. change C. guidance D. harm
51. A. question B. dislike C. doubt D. follow
52. A. effort B. ambitions C. feelings D. money
53. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. less than
54. A. identifying B. accepting C. persuading D. amusing
55. A. simplifying B. ruining C. beautifying D. worsening

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily White was born seventeen years ago with many physical issues affecting her tiny body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. Though no one expected her to survive, she did make it. But she had a strange figure that everyone could recognize, even from a distance.
In Emily’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school hall at Christmas. It had been performed for so many years that it had become one of the most important events for many of the townsfolk. Each year, many people tried out for the show, but most were turned down. Only the best performers could be included.
Emily had a most beautiful singing voice. Last year, she asked Mrs. Owens, her music teacher, if she could join in the performance. Mrs. Owens took a look at her body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable too.”
Without singing a single note, Mrs. Owens sent Emily back through the door of the choral room (合唱室). Hurt and upset, Emily decided never to try out again. But things changed as the following school year, Mrs. Owens retired and a new music teacher arrived—Mr. Butler.
He had heard about Emily and suggested that she give it a try again. Emily didn’t want to be rejected（拒绝） again, so she hesitated about it. But finally her love for singing and strong desire to join in the performance outweighed her hesitation. She tried out again and learned the result would be posted the next day on the door of the choral room.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night, having turned in bed back and forth thousand times as she was worried that she would be rejected again and would never fit in.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Emily hurried to school and anxiously glanced at the list of the result.____________

Dear Jim,
How are you？I am writing to tell you about my favourite singer—Liu Huan.
Liu Huan is good at singing songs of different styles, ranging from pop songs, rock music to folk songs. He wrote, composed and sang for many TV plays and movies. Besides singing, he has been devoted to public affairs, which is one of the reasons why I love him best. In 2008, he was invited to sing the Beijing Olympic Theme You and Me, which inspires people's enthusiasm to sports and draws world people's heart close.
Liu Huan sets a good example to me so I should learn from him.
Yours,
Li Hua

The next day, Emily hurried to school and anxiously glanced at the list of the result. To her great surprise, she was not rejected this time. Her name stood proudly at the top of the list. It was she, Emily White, who was chosen to be the lead singer! Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. Just then, she felt a gentle pat on the shoulder. Mr. Butler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I chose you to lead because of your extraordinary voice. Just believe in yourself.” Greatly moved and encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally, the day of the performance came. Standing in the front, Emily felt her throat tight and palms sweating. When the curtain rose, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon her. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. With Mr. Butler’s encouraging words in mind, she began to sing her heart out—her voice travelled in the hall like a nightingale’s singing. Everyone was shocked by her great talent and offered big rounds of applause. She was shining on stage—she knew now she was known to everyone not for her appearance, but for her voice as an angel’s.

21. 细节理解题。根据Toy Story(1995)下的“A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.(一部关于玩具的卡通电影，当孩子和大人不在身边时，玩具就会活过来)”可知，Toy Story最吸引卡通爱好者。故选B项。
22. 细节理解题。根据Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)下的“Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.(当一群孩子免费参观威利旺卡的巧克力工厂时，事情出了问题)”以及The Sound of Music(1965)下的“A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.(一个年轻的女人(玛丽亚)成为奥地利阿尔卑斯山一所房子里七个孩子的保姆)”可知，Charlie & the Chocolate Factory和The Sound of Music的共同之处是他们有儿童角色。故选D项。
23. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose
films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.(看电影对提高英语很有帮助。如果你选择你喜欢看的电影，你会在不知不觉中学会英语!这里有四部电影非常适合英语学习者)”可知，文章介绍了四部电影，旨在帮助英语学习者提高英语水平，因此可以推断出这篇文章可能来自一本语言杂志。故选B项。
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tay先生和他的妻子创立Willing Hearts组织的经历，该组织为贫困人群提供食物，并吸引了许多志愿者加入。Tay先生希望通过这个组织让年轻人了解社会背后的真实情况。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650, 000 meals.”（在一次到访中，他的妻子注意到老人没有拿走蔬菜。当被问及原因时，其中一位回答说，她不会做饭，所以她只吃了别人给她的米饭。然后Tay太太主动提出为她做饭，那顿饭激发了Willing Hearts的成立，自此已经提供了大约65万份食物。）可推知，Willing Hearts是一个为贫困人群提供食物的机构，因此它的主要功能是为穷人做饭。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650, 000 meals.”（然后Tay太太主动提出为她做饭，那顿饭激发了Willing Hearts的成立，自此已经提供了大约65万份食物。）可知，Willing Hearts是为贫困人群提供食物的机构。结合第二段中“Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make ‘the country’s backyard’ known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors.”（通过Willing Hearts，Tay先生希望让年轻一代了解“这个国家的后院”，让他们亲眼看到并亲身体验幕后发生的事情。）可推知，Tay先生想要通过Willing Hearts这一公益组织向年轻一代展示的是贫困人群的真实生活。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650, 000 meals.”（然后Tay太太主动提出为她做饭，那顿饭激发了Willing Hearts的成立，自此已经提供了大约65万份食物。）和第三段中“As a non-profit organisation, Wiling Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not trouble Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress.”（作为一个非营利性组织，Willing Hearts在很大程度上依赖于捐赠和食物收集。然而，这并没有困扰到Tay先生。他相信你必须让事情逐渐发展，而不要被那些会带来不必要压力的担忧所阻止。）可推知，Tay先生致力于帮助贫困人群，他主导成立的公益组织Willing Hearts已经提供了大约65万份食物，如此巨大的工作量说明他是一个勤奋的人(hardworking)，同时，他相信事情会逐渐好转，并且不会被不必要的压力所困扰，说明他是一个积极向上的人(positive)。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650, 000 meals.”（然后Tay太太主动提出为她做饭，那顿饭激发了Willing Hearts的成立，自此已经提供了大约65万份食物。）和最后一段中“He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.”（他称Willing Hearts的志愿者是该组织的眼睛和耳朵，因为他们总是在寻找穷人伸出援助之手）以及后文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是Willing Hearts这个组织如何帮助贫困人群的故事，因此最适合的标题是“Willing Hearts Lending a Hand”（Willing Hearts伸出援手）。故选C项。
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过谈论作为公共资源的大象濒临灭绝，而作为私有财产的饲养牛却能安全生存，说明了人们对私有财产比公共资源更加关心的现象。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. (然而，狩猎水牛在19世纪是如此流行，以至于到了1900年，野牛的数量已经下降到大约400只，直到政府介入保护这个物种。今天在一些国家，大象也面临着类似的挑战，因为非法捕猎者为了获取象牙而捕杀这种动物。)”可知，作者之所以提到水牛，是为了介绍大象所面临的类似威胁。故选A项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. (原因是大象是一种公共资源，而牛是私人物品。)”和“Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. (大象在没有主人的情况下自由走动。猎人有强烈的动机去杀死尽可能多的大象。)” 及“By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. (相比之下，牛生活在私人拥有的农场上。每个农场主都在努力维持农场的牲畜数量，因为他们收获了这些努力的成果。)”可知，之所以大象面临威胁，而奶牛是安全的，是因为它们各自代表着不同的所有权类型。故选D项。
30.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. (各国政府试图通过两种方式来解决大象的问题。一些国家，如肯尼亚和乌干达，已经将猎杀大象和出售象牙定为非法行为。)”以及“By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. (相比之下，其他国家，如马拉维和纳米比亚，则把大象当作私人物品，允许人们猎杀大象，但仅限于在他们自己的领地上。)”可知，第四段通过举例说明各国政府对大象的政策。故选D项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aristotle所说“What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others. (对大多数人来说共同的东西最不被重视，因为所有人都更关心自己的东西，而不是他们与他人共同拥有的东西。)”可以推知，人们更关心自己的财产。故选C项。
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3R实验室正在探索一种可持续生活的方式。
32．词句猜测题。根据划线短语的下文“Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,(小而舒适的改变正是你所需要的，)”可知，需要小而舒适的改变，也就是说你不可能一时兴起就过上可持续的生活的，所以推断划线短语的意思是“一时兴起、匆忙地”。故选A项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,(它们仅仅因为外表而被丢弃。购买水果，不管它们看起来如何，都能大大减少我们日常生活中的食物浪费，)”可知，3R实验室丑陋水果市场的目的是为了减少食物浪费。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.(参观者可以看到PHA吸管是如何在一个月内降解成薄薄的一层，而其他吸管则保持不变。)”可知，3R实验室的水箱能向参观者展示PHA吸管的降解。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee.(在那里工作了六个月后，倪在来实验室之前并不知道3R原理，现在她每次买咖啡都要用自己的杯子。)”可推知，倪现在过着低碳生活。故选D项。
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了几个提高健身运动趣味性的方法，包括与他人一起运动、设定小目标、给自己奖励 以及到户外进行运动等。
【36题详解】
根据本段内容“Looking back, what made my fitness routine in my younger years fun was that I did most activities with different friends or took classes where there was a strong social activity. It's always easier to get inspired and push yourself out of your comfort zone when you're not alone. Find a like-minded partner and your exercise will be that much easier. And, get creative.(回想起来，我年轻时的健身计划之所以有趣，是因为我和不同的朋友一起做了很多活动，或者参加了有很强的社交活动的课程。当你不是一个人的时候，总是更容易获得灵感，把自己从舒适区推出去。找到一个志同道合的伙伴，你的锻炼就会容易得多。而且，要有创意)”可知，接下来的内容提到了“与不同朋友一起进行活动或参加社交性强的课程”，因此，此选项作为段落的主题句，引出了下面的具体建议。故B选项“使其社交化”符合语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Find a like-minded partner and your exercise will be that much easier. And, get creative.(找到一个志同道合的伙伴，你的锻炼就会容易得多。而且，要有创意)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，举例说明如何是有创意的做法。故D选项“对于户外活动，你的伴侣甚至可以是你的宠物狗”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据标题“Remove the Pressure(减轻压力)”以及上文“Setting small goals helps remove pressure that a seemingly unrealistic goal might cause.(设定小目标有助于消除看似不切实际的目标可能带来的压力)”可知，上文提到了“设定小目标有助于消除任何压力或不知所措的感觉”，推测本句与设定小目标以减轻压力的建议相吻合。E选项“特别是如果你刚开始锻炼，目标可以很小”符合语境。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据标题“Treat Yourself(自我奖励)”以及上文“Only allow yourself to earn the reward if you complete exercise.(只允许自己在完成锻炼后获得奖励)”可知，上文提到了“只有在你完成锻炼后才允许自己获得奖励”，推测本句与锻炼后期待某种奖励以激励自己有关。G选项“在每次锻炼前留下咖啡之类的东西，这可以给你的锻炼带来额外的灵感”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Most of us spend most of our day inside, so instead of taking on an indoor workout, exercise outdoors for a change of scenery — and additional physical and mental benefits.(我们大多数人一天中的大部分时间都在室内度过，所以与其在室内锻炼，不如在室外锻炼，换一换风景——这对身心都有好处)”以及后文“Depression may be linked to separation from the natural world. Getting outside is a cure, which can heal, release stress, bring joy, and restore your spirits. Getting sunlight, which contains vitamin D, is also a good mood booster.(抑郁症可能与与自然世界的分离有关。外出是一种治疗，它可以治愈，释放压力，带来快乐，恢复你的精神。晒太阳，其中含有维生素D，也是一种很好的情绪助推器)”可知，这一段讨论的是“户外锻炼”的好处，提到了“户外活动对身心都有好处”这一优势，而且与后文最后两句形成总分关系。C选项“另外，它能改善心情”符合语境。故选C。

In Canada，all high school students have a chance to work with their parents.This summer，I took part in my mom's work.She works at the police station.
When I arrived，the officers were practicing basic skills.They were exercising very hard.I stood beside a call operator and watched him working.Suddenly，the phone rang.He picked it up and a woman cried for help.Several men entered her house and were stealing.The call operator told her，“Please calm down and move to a safe place quietly.Don't fight with them.Just let them take what they want.Make sure you don't hurt yourself.We are sending officers there.”The operator followed the call and found her address.Then he sent five closest police cars to the woman's place.
The day was interesting.The officers were very friendly and admirable.And I learned how the police station worked.
