As an athlete，Mike had been practising hard.He preferred to play basketball rather than stay indoors in his free time.Mike had a strong desire to play for his team.However，he was usually on the bench，as a replacement.
Once two players crashed into each other during a game and one of them was badly hurt.The team quickly gathered around and the doctor put an ice pack on the player’s knee.In that case，the coach had to let Mike play，so Mike rushed onto the court.All the extra hours that he’d spent practising alone paid off.The other team just couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed.The audience couldn’t stop clapping and cheering.At last，they became the champion and Mike earned his place on the team!
To keep in good shape，Mike always keeps a balanced diet and does many other sports such as jogging，cycling and boxing.Every time he is fed up with studying，he runs on the track in the park，which can strengthen his immune system and relieve him of some aches.To be a runner，one doesn’t need any special equipment.But do remember to do some warm-up activities before running，which will prevent you from being injured.If you keep it up，you will be amazed at the benefits it brings to you!
作为一名运动员，迈克一直在努力练习。他宁愿在空闲时间打篮球也不愿待在室内。迈克非常想为他的球队效力。然而，他通常作为替补球员坐在替补席上。 有一次，两名球员在比赛中相撞，其中一人受了重伤。球队迅速聚集，医生将冰袋放在那名球员的膝盖上。在这种情况下，教练不得不让迈克上场，所以迈克冲上了球场。他花在独自练习上的所有额外时间都得到了回报。对方就是跟不上他的精力和速度。观众们不停地鼓掌欢呼。最后，他们成为冠军，迈克在球队中赢得了一席之地！ 为了保持良好的健康状况，迈克总是保持均衡的饮食，并做许多其他运动，如慢跑、骑自行车和拳击。每次他厌倦了学习，他都会在公园的跑道上跑步，这可以增强他的免疫系统，缓解他的一些疼痛。要成为一名跑步者，不需要任何特殊的设备。但一定要记得在跑步前做一些热身活动，这能防止你受伤。如果你坚持下去，你会惊讶于它给你带来的好处！

With the arrival of winter，the world is covered in a sheet of shining snow，and it brings an invitation to take part in exciting snow sports.Beyond the great wonderland and the great joy of sliding down hills，attending winter sports offers many physical，mental，and social benefits.
Taking part in winter snow sports is an excellent way to stay physically active during the colder months.Whether you’re skiing down a mountainside，or skiing along peaceful paths，these activities provide a full-body workout.Downhill skiing，for example，is known as a way to burn a lot of calories，making it an effective cardiovascular(心血管的) exercise.The combination of cardio and strength training can help keep a healthy weight，improve cardiovascular health，and keep overall physical health.
The connection between outdoor activities and mental health is well-established，and winter sports are no exception.The fresh mountain air，the amazing snowy hills，and the excitement of rushing down the hill all help to improve the feelings.Snow sports also get you in natural sunlight，which helps increase Vitamin D levels.
Winter sports offer more than just personal physical and mental benefits—they create chances for social liaison and community building.Whether you’re hitting the hills with friends，joining a ski club，or taking a family snowboarding trip，these activities form a sense of friendship.Shared experiences on the mountain create lasting memories and strengthen social ties，developing a sense of belonging.
The benefits of winter snow sports spread far beyond the excitement of downhill drops.Winter activities not only keep you physically fit but also benefit your mental well-being and provide chances for social communication.
Winter wonderland is waiting for you，promising a season full of joy，health，and unforgettable experiences.So，when the snow arrives，consider putting on your skis and enjoying the benefits winter sports bring to your body and mind.

1．What is the benefit of downhill skiing
A．Keeping healthy.
B．Reducing risk.
C．Improving athletic ability.
D．Building friendships.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Downhill skiing，for example，is known as a way to burn a lot of calories，making it an effective cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise...improve cardiovascular health，and keep overall physical health.”可知，速降滑雪有助于燃烧卡路里，可帮助人们保持健康的体重，改善心血管健康，保持整体身体健康，故速降滑雪的好处是可以保持健康。故选A。
2．What does the underlined word “liaison” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Change. B．Position.
C．Connection. D．Responsibility.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段“...they create chances for social liaison and community building...these activities form a sense of friendship.Shared experiences...strengthen social ties，developing a sense of belonging.”可知，冬季运动项目还可以促进社会关系，加强社会联系，结合上下文中出现的关键词 “community building” “a sense of friendship”“social ties”等，可推知画线词表示“联系”，与connection意义相近。故选C。
3．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Social interaction is very important.
B．Attending winter sports isn’t necessary.
C．Winter sports can improve mental health.
D．Outdoor activities are good for relationship building.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Winter activities not only keep you physically fit but also benefit your mental well-being and provide chances for social communication.”可知，冬季运动不仅能让你保持身体健康，还有益于你的心理健康，并为社交提供机会，即冬季运动可以有益于心理健康。故选C。
4．What is the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph
A．To give advice on winter sports.
B．To teach methods of doing winter sports.

If you often exercise，there is a good chance for you to be more creative，according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination.The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness.
It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking.Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity，for during exercise our brains take in more blood，oxygen and nutrients，thus producing more new brain cells(细胞) than those who don’t exercise.In this way，exercise raises our moods(情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember.
However，creativity is an abstract(抽象的) thinking skill，whose relationship with exercise has not been clear.Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking.
To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity，researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults.They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days.Then they asked them to visit the lab and finish some creative tasks.The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures.The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.
The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative，especially if they often walked or exercised properly.They are also likely to be in high spirits，although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities，rather than average ones.However，the link between activity，creativity and moods was light.This suggested that it was not improved moods，but physical activity，that had a greater influence on creativity.
The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity，if not by raising moods.But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，以及体育活动如何影响我们的大脑以及创造力。
5．What change does physical activity bring to our brains
A．Making more brain cells.
B．Responding to thinking.
C．Supplying more nutrients.
D．Increasing blood pressure.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity，for during exercise our brains take in more blood，oxygen and nutrients，thus producing more new brain cells(细胞) than those who don’t exercise.”可知，体育活动会使大脑产生更多的脑细胞。故选A项。
6．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A．The purpose of the study.
B．The process of the study.
C．The findings of the study.
D．The subjects of the study.
答案 B
解析 段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，本段详细描述了研究过程，包括给志愿者配备活动追踪器、让他们访问实验室并完成创造力任务、对志愿者的成果就创造力和其他指标进行评分以及让志愿者完成标准化情绪问卷等。因此，本段重点介绍了研究的过程。故选B项。
7．What do we know from paragraph 5
A．Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative.
B．People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity.
C．Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity.
D．Effortless physical activities make people more creative.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However，the link between activity，creativity and moods was light.This suggested that it was not improved moods，but physical activity，that had a greater influence on creativity.”可知，活动、创造力和情绪之间的联系并不紧密。这表明，对创造力有更大影响的不是情绪的改善，而是体育活动。由此推知，运动在影响创造力方面发挥着更重要的作用。故选C项。
8．What is the most suitable title for the passage
A．Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health
B．Can Exercise Make You More Creative
C．What Makes You More Imaginative
D．How Exercise Improves Your Mood
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文并结合第一段中的“If you often exercise，there is a good chance for you to be more creative...”可知，文章主要围绕体育活动与创造力之间的关系进行阐述，介绍了相关研究及其发现。因此，B项“运动能让你更有创造力吗？”概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。

With the arrival of winter，the world is covered in a sheet of shining snow，and it brings an invitation to take part in exciting snow sports.Beyond the great wonderland and the great joy of sliding down hills，attending winter sports offers many physical，mental，and social benefits.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冬季运动不仅可以给身心健康带来好处，还有助于加强人际关系。
Taking part in winter snow sports is an excellent way to stay physically active during the colder months.Whether you’re skiing down a mountainside，or skiing along peaceful paths，these activities provide a full-body workout.Downhill skiing，for example，is known as a way to burn a lot of calories，making it an effective cardiovascular(心血管的) exercise.The combination of cardio and strength training can help keep a healthy weight，improve cardiovascular health，and keep overall physical health.
The connection between outdoor activities and mental health is well-established，and winter sports are no exception.The fresh mountain air，the amazing snowy hills，and the excitement of rushing down the hill all help to improve the feelings.Snow sports also get you in natural sunlight，which helps increase Vitamin D levels.
Winter sports offer more than just personal physical and mental benefits—they create chances for social liaison and community building.Whether you’re hitting the hills with friends，joining a ski club，or taking a family snowboarding trip，these activities form a sense of friendship.Shared experiences on the mountain create lasting memories and strengthen social ties，developing a sense of belonging.
The benefits of winter snow sports spread far beyond the excitement of downhill drops.Winter activities not only keep you physically fit but also benefit your mental well-being and provide chances for social communication.
Winter wonderland is waiting for you，promising a season full of joy，health，and unforgettable experiences.So，when the snow arrives，consider putting on your skis and enjoying the benefits winter sports bring to your body and mind.

If you often exercise，there is a good chance for you to be more creative，according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination.The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，以及体育活动如何影响我们的大脑以及创造力。
It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking.
Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity，for during exercise our brains take in more blood，oxygen and nutrients，thus producing more new brain cells(细胞) than those who don’t exercise.In this way，exercise raises our moods(情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember.
However，creativity is an abstract(抽象的) thinking skill，whose relationship with exercise has not been clear.Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking.
To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity，researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults.They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days.Then they asked them to visit the lab and finish some creative tasks.The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures.The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.
The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative，especially if they often walked or exercised properly.They are also likely to be in high spirits，although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities，rather than average ones.However，the link between activity，creativity and moods was light.This suggested that it was not improved moods，but physical activity，that had a greater influence on creativity.
The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity，if not by raising moods.But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives.
5.What change does physical activity bring to our brains
A.Making more brain cells.
B.Responding to thinking.
C.Supplying more nutrients.
D.Increasing blood pressure.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity，for during exercise our brains take in more blood，oxygen and nutrients，thus producing more new brain cells(细胞) than those who don’t exercise.”可知，体育活动会使大脑产生更多的脑细胞。故选A项。

A.The purpose of the study.
B.The process of the study.
C.The findings of the study.
D.The subjects of the study.
√

解析
7.What do we know from paragraph 5
A.Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative.
B.People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity.
C.Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity.
D.Effortless physical activities make people more creative.
√
推理判断题。根据第五段中“However，the link between activity，creativity and moods was light.This suggested that it was not improved moods，but physical activity，that had a greater influence on creativity.”可知，活动、创造力和情绪之间的联系并不紧密。这表明，对创造力有更大影响的不是情绪的改善，而是体育活动。由此推知，运动在影响创造力方面发挥着更重要的作用。故选C项。
解析
8.What is the most suitable title for the passage
A.Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health
B.Can Exercise Make You More Creative
C.What Makes You More Imaginative
D.How Exercise Improves Your Mood
√
标题归纳题。通读全文并结合第一段中的“If you often exercise，there is a good chance for you to be more creative...”可知，文章主要围绕体育活动与创造力之间的关系进行阐述，介绍了相关研究及其发现。因此，B项“运动能让你更有创造力吗？”概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。
