Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was recently asked what inspires me most.That was easy to answer: I live and breathe track and field. It is the only sport that has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly.I have struggled a lot in my life after being diagnosed (诊断) with a learning disability at the age of three.I was also born four months too early, weighing less than four pounds.
Even at 17, I'm still working to catch up.Mentally I'm on the level of a 12- year- old.I had to repeat the third and fifth grades, which caused me a lot of stress and embarrassment.
I was joked so much that I would often hide in the bathroom instead of going to class.My parents always gave me lots of love and support, but I still felt worthless most of the time.I'm also quite shy, so making and keeping friends has always been a challenge.
Then one day when I was 12, my life changed forever.My parents decided my younger brother and I should try track.From that moment on my life was different.I was a natural mid- distance runner.When I was on the track, the other kids just saw me and my speed.No one saw my learning disability.For the first time in my life I felt normal.
When I entered high school, I joined the track team and the coach quickly saw my talent.I was selected to run on the A team for cross- country and the A team for indoor and outdoor track.I'm on the school team for the 4×400- meter and 4×800- meter relays, and colleges are even interested in me!
My cross- country team won the 2011 County and Regional Championship.When I accepted my award, my mom cried because she was so proud of me, and for once, I was proud of myself.
Even though I'm a special- education student, I now know that my learning disability does not define (限定) me.I can hold my head up high because track has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly!
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是一个有学习障碍的学生，但是却在田径运动中找到了自己的价值。

B
Once upon a time, when you first attended a youth sporting event, your parents probably weren't expecting you to become a professional athlete.They signed up for a basketball, football or swimming course for you in the hope that you might learn lessons about winning decently, losing with dignity and insisting on it when things get hard.Yes, playing games is good exercise, but it is the life lessons that matter most.
For many of us, instead of looking to improve our minds and spirits, we began judging progress only by the size of our muscles or the numbers on a weighing machine.The thought that athletic competition is about greater life lessons and the building of character has been further undermined (削弱) by headlines about professional athletes.
“And yet there's still strong evidence that sports strongly improve certain personal qualities，” says Angela Lumpkin, professor of the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kansas.And that's true for athletes of any age.Amateur sports (业余体育运动) provide a safe place for competition.They also provide a practice ground for managing stress.
The advantages of taking part in a sport can seep (渗透) into your professional life, too.In basketball, for example, “Getting everyone to play the right role on the court is the key to success，” says Alan Arlt, the founder of the lifetime fitness basketball program Ultimate Hoops.“That is certainly useful in the business world, where everyone understands their role in the organization.” “In athletic events, you go through good and bad times often in the period of two hours，” says former NBA head coach Flip Saunders.
“Do you have the calm manner to settle yourself down, or do you totally lose it and get thrown out of the game which hurts both you and your team All of that on- court experience has a real effect on how you deal with real- life situations.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了参加体育运动不仅是为了强身健体，更重要的是为了提高人的智商和情商。
5．What would parents expect their children when they joined in sports
A．To win as many games as possible.

A．People play sports to build their character.
B．People still hold the idea that sports can keep us fit.
C．People keep playing sports to improve minds and spirits.
D．People pay more attention to the news of professional athletes.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The thought that ... about professional athletes.”可知，运动对人性格的培养并没有被大家过多关注，反倒是专业运动员的一些花边新闻引起人们的更多关注。
7．Why are amateur sports mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To support Lumpkin's idea.
B．To introduce the next topic.
C．To show another piece of evidence.
D．To sum up the main idea of the paragraph.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
It's the end of another long day at the office after a poor night's sleep. As usual, you're exhausted, yet you want to stop at the gym on the way home to get the exercise you need to stay healthy. 9 This is a widespread problem.
To be healthy, the body needs to move through four stages of sleep several times each night. During the first and second stages, the body starts to decrease its rhythms. 10 Rapid eye movement sleep, called REM, is the final stage in which we dream. Studies have shown that missing REM sleep may lead to health problems. On the other hand, years of research has found sleep boosts immune functioning.
11 Without sleep, your muscles can't recover from the stress you put them through during workouts. “You have to give them time to recover and grow stronger，” said sleep specialist Dr Raj Dasgupta.“You're more likely to suffer an injury when you're exhausted due to slowed reaction times from your tired brain during the workout.” 12 You might find yourself fearing your normal workouts.
Use common sense, experts said. If you're not sleeping well, don't go for that intense workout. 13 If you're pressed for time, consider fitting in several short periods of exercise throughout your day. “Everything counts，” Dasgupta said. “Do anything that makes you feel happy and refreshed. This is about hitting the reset button for yourself, not doing some form of exercise because you feel it necessary to.”
A．Walk or do yoga instead.
B．How does sleep affect our brain
C．Should you work out when suffering from sleep loss
D．Poor sleep can affect your motivation to exercise, too.
E．It may be unwise to play a sport when you're very tired.
F．Enough workout can guarantee you good health and happiness.
G．Doing so prepares us for the third stage where the body is restoring itself.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了在很累的情况下是否需要坚持锻炼。
9．选C 上文主要呈现出一个场景，即当你很累的时候，你在犹豫是否做一些运动。根据空后一句可推断出，空处为一个问题。故选项C “Should you work out when suffering from sleep loss？”符合语境，对空前内容提出心中疑惑，同时与下文内容保持一致。
10．选G 根据本段首句可知，身体每晚需要经历多次四个睡眠阶段。空前介绍了第一和第二阶段，而空后则介绍了第四阶段。由此推知，空处应介绍睡眠的第三阶段。故选项G“Doing so prepares us for the third stage where the body is restoring itself.”符合语境。
11．选E 下文讲述的是疲劳的时候运动对身体不好。选项E“It may be unwise to play a sport when you're very tired.”与下文内容一致。
12．选D 根据空后内容可知，下文讲述的是缺乏睡眠对心理上的影响。选项D“Poor sleep can affect your motivation to exercise, too.”讲述的正是睡眠不好对锻炼动力的影响，与下文内容一致。
13．选A 上文讲述的是睡眠不好的情况下，不要进行高强度锻炼。选项A“Walk or do yoga instead.”延续上文内容，给出了睡眠不好时的锻炼方案，符合语境。UNIT 3 课时检测(四) “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节

Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是一个有学习障碍的学生，但是却在田径运动中找到了自己的价值。
1．选C 句意理解题。根据第一段画线句子后面的“It is the only sport that has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly.”可知，作者认为田径运动让自己展翅翱翔，所以作者视田径为生命。
2．选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“... diagnosed (诊断) with a learning disability at the age of three”可知，作者有学习障碍，即学习能力差。
3．选A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“For the first time in my life I felt normal.”可知，当作者第一次在田径场上时，作者感觉自己像正常人一样。
4．选B 标题归纳题。作者在学习上有障碍，但是从事田径运动却如鱼得水，是一个天生的田径运动员。田径让作者找到了自己的价值，有了展翅飞翔的机会。故B项最适合作文章标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了参加体育运动不仅是为了强身健体，更重要的是为了提高人的智商和情商。
5．选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“in the hope ... things get hard”可知，家长让孩子参加体育运动是希望孩子在运动的过程中学会如何面对困难。
6．选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The thought that ... about professional athletes.”可知，运动对人性格的培养并没有被大家过多关注，反倒是专业运动员的一些花边新闻引起人们的更多关注。
7．选A 写作意图题。根据第三段内容可知，列举业余体育运动是为了证明Lumpkin的观点，即运动能培养人的性格。
8．选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，运动体验对于如何处理真实的生活情境有真正的影响。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了在很累的情况下是否需要坚持锻炼。
9．选C 上文主要呈现出一个场景，即当你很累的时候，你在犹豫是否做一些运动。根据空后一句可推断出，空处为一个问题。故选项C “Should you work out when suffering from sleep loss？”符合语境，对空前内容提出心中疑惑，同时与下文内容保持一致。
10．选G 根据本段首句可知，身体每晚需要经历多次四个睡眠阶段。空前介绍了第一和第二阶段，而空后则介绍了第四阶段。由此推知，空处应介绍睡眠的第三阶段。故选项G“Doing so prepares us for the third stage where the body is restoring itself.”符合语境。
11．选E 下文讲述的是疲劳的时候运动对身体不好。选项E“It may be unwise to play a sport when you're very tired.”与下文内容一致。
12．选D 根据空后内容可知，下文讲述的是缺乏睡眠对心理上的影响。选项D“Poor sleep can affect your motivation to exercise, too.”讲述的正是睡眠不好对锻炼动力的影响，与下文内容一致。
13．选A 上文讲述的是睡眠不好的情况下，不要进行高强度锻炼。选项A“Walk or do yoga instead.”延续上文内容，给出了睡眠不好时的锻炼方案，符合语境。
