阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Exergaming Exergaming is made up of exercise with video games. And there are lots to choose from. Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a fun way to work out. Simply stand on a platform and hit the coloured targets with your feet as you follow the instructions on the screen. You score points by hitting the right target at the right time. As the tagline (标语) says, “Taking dancing to a whole new level!” For a gentler form of exercise, try the “Wii Fit” series of games. You can do yoga, strength training and so on when standing on a balance board. Personalise your workout, or exercise with a friend, competing in games!
Anti-shoes Anti-shoes are designed to exercise parts of your body while you’re walking. They’re meant to improve your figure, and strengthen your leg and back muscles. The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Maller. He discovered that the Kenyan Masai tribespeople (who often walk barefoot) don’t suffer from back pain and are famous for their perfect figure. So, he decided that the answer was a shoe with a curved sole (弯曲的鞋底). Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass.
Zumba Zumba is a fun form of exercise. As their tagline says, “Drop the workout, join the party!” Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness dance programme that uses hip-hop, samba, martial arts and belly dance moves to get you in shape. It was created by accident when a trainer forgot his exercise CD and used his own samba music instead. There are lots of different types of classes for all levels, including “Zumbatomic” for children aged 4 to 12, “Zumba Gold” for older participants, and “Aqua Zumba” among many others.
1. If you want to reduce your back pain, you can choose ________.
A. DDR B. Wii Fit C. Anti-shoes D. Zumba
2. What can we learn from the passage
A. You can play “Wii Fit” games on a platform.
B. Zumba is too difficult for the elderly to dance.
C. Playing games also has good effects on health.
D. Zumba is a combination of many types of dance.
3. The target readers of the passage are those who ________.
A. are interested in hiking B. like trying new kinds of exercise
C. like playing video games D. want to improve dancing skills
B
I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.
Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter ” Letter What letter I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.”
Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters ” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.
I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame.
I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.
4. What did the author notice when the school was over
A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups.
C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others.
5. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter
A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness.
C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression.
6. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla
A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy.
C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes.
C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success.
C
If you’re over FOMO—or you were never into it in the first place, you’ll be happy to hear that JOMO is now a thing.
JOMO is that feeling you get when someone cancels an event you don’t want to go to—but feel like you “should”, or when you’re unexpectedly in a place without WiFi and you pull out your book to settle in to read guilt-free. It’s the relief of having time to yourself.
But while some of us have always appreciated JOMO, it may be catching on with former FOMOers, too. According to surveys, more people than ever are looking to get away from the overwhelming pressure and anxiety caused by the social media—for real.
FOMO came about during the rise of social media, when scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook feeds seemed to show that everyone you knew was out doing something fun—except you. It got so bad that some people would be out with their friends, and would check in to see what everyone else was doing, and to see if it was a better time elsewhere.
Living with FOMO, clearly, isn’t a healthy way to be. It led to a culture where even regular people were only posting their highlights—and the rest of us took them as their whole life. Like any trend, FOMO seems already a relic of the past decade, a time when we valued how many likes our pictures got, and we spent more time taking and posting shots of ourselves than being in the moment.
JOMO doesn’t mean you quit enjoy ng your time out with friends, or stop sharing your happy moments, but it is about valuing the here and now first. JOMO allows us to appreciate human connections and to give ourselves “tech-free breaks”. If that sounds good, but you find yourself scrolling and feeling crummy anyway, you might have to get offline for a bit to break or at least weaken your habit.
8. What does JOMO stand for probably
A. Joy of marking out. B. Joy of making out.
C. Joy of moving out. D. Joy of missing out.
9. What can we infer about people living with FOMO
A. They like social media.
B. They value the present time.
C. They always do something fun.
D. They appreciate human connections.
10. What does the underlined word “crummy” probably mean
A. Tired. B. Terrible. C. Interested. D. Thrilled.
11. What message can we get from the passage
A. People can benefit from feeling crummy.
B We should give ourselves “screen-free time”.
C. We’d better stop using Instagram or Facebook.
D. It’s good to kick the habit of posting private photos.
D
“Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally.
Then why did the woman refuse CPR It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do.
The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.
But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.
However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150,000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90.
The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it.
12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, ________
A. it started to be applied to humans.
B. it was popularized in some professions.
C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters.
D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins.
13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects.
C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding.
14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR
A. The public was unwilling to accept it.
B. It had much better effects on the elderly.
C. The average rate of survival remained low.
D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals.
15. Which title best fits the text
A. CPR: A Must-Learn Skill for everyone.
B. How to Perform CPR properly.
C. Nurse Refused CPR—Elderly Chose Natural Death.
D. The High Price of CPR for the Elderly.

47. 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。
“Yeah, a BATTLE!” said William, pulling my arm. “You see that, John ”
I looked up from my desk to see Ms. Chow writing on the board, “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and then said, “Are you ready to go into the battle Get prepared for it next week!”
“Is it a reading contest ” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.
“Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!”
Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates ”
“Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together.
The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates ” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure.
“Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing what Lily said we agreed with her suggestion.

46. Dear Peter,
Delighted to learn that you’re going to take part in the Chinese poetry recitation competition, I’m eager to share my recommendations.
I highly suggest Thoughts in the Silent Night written by Li Bai, one of the most renowned poets in Chinese history. This short poem, made up of only 20 Chinese characters, well expresses a traveler’s strong feeling of homesickness when gazing at the moonlight.
The reason why it’s a great choice is that its words are easy to understand but still powerful. The poem has a rhythm, and its deep emotions can easily move the audience. Because the idea of missing home is something everyone can relate to, you can easily share the poem’s feelings with others. I’m sure you’ll shine with it on stage! Wish you success!
Yours,
Li Hua
47. “John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly. Hearing what Tom said, I bowed my head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his eyes because I didn’t know how to refuse him politely. He was my best friend and I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. William and Lily also fell into silence and had no idea how to deal with it. Suddenly, Lily said happily, “we can turn to Ms. Chow for help. If we really want to be a team, maybe she will grant our request. ”
Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion. So we approached Ms. Chow who was getting ready to leave the classroom. After hearing what we said, she finally agreed, but with one condition that we must set a higher reading goal for our team since we had four. We agreed happily. Finally, the problem was solved perfectly and nobody was heart-broken. I was firmly sure that we would complete our reading goal and win the prize.
