Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Born in 1928， Eugenio Monti， was the best young Italian skier of his generation.He became known as the Flying Redhead and won several national titles， but in 1951 an accident called an end to his skiing career.It was then that he switched to bobsleigh.In 1954 he won his first Italian championship and started to dominate the sport in Italy and be a force internationally for more than a decade.However， Monti is more widely remembered as the first athlete to be awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship displayed during the 1964 Winter Olympic Games.
At the 1964 Games in Innsbruck， Austria， Monti and his partner Sergio Siorpaes were the defending world champions， which made them favourites in the two-man event.Monti was desperate to add Olympic golds to his medal collection because he was 36 years old then and had already suffered serious problems with his knees， arguably running out of time to achieve his Olympic dreams.But they were in heated competition with the British team of Anthony Nash and Robin Dixon.
After two runs on the first day， the British led the field.On day two， however， a faulty axle （车轴） on the sled would have been sure to lead to their withdrawal， if it weren’t for Monti offering to lend them the bolt （螺栓） from his sled.The British pair went on to record the fastest time on that final run and won gold by just 0.12 seconds， while Monti and Siorpaes claimed the bronze.
Four days later in the four-man event， Monti’s selflessness towards his fellow competitors shone through for a second time when the rear axle on the Canadian team’s sled was damaged.Monti sent the Italian team’s mechanics to repair it， with the consequence that the Canadian team won gold， with Monti having to settle for another bronze.
Monti was recognised with the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship after the 1964 Winter Games.And four years later， at the age of 40， at the 1968 Games in Grenoble， Monti finally fulfilled his dream of being an Olympic champion.

Working out can help teenagers boost their grades， a new study suggests.Adolescents who routinely engaged in light to intense exercise showed long-term improvements in their academic performance， the British Journal of Sports Medicine study reported.
“Our study suggests that the effect of physical activity may be quite large，” John Reilly， a professor at the University of Strathclyde said.The researchers looked at a sample of about 5，000 children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children born in the U.K.between 2004 and 2005.When children reached 11 years old， their daily physical activity levels were measured using an accelerometer （加速器） for three to seven days.The device， similar to a pedometer （计步器） tracking the number of steps taken， recorded the average time children exercised， which was 29 minutes a day for boys and 18 for girls.
“The actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite low，” Mr Reilly noted.The children had their academic performance tested at ages 11 and 13 with compulsory national tests for students， and also at 15 or 16 with the General Certificate of Secondary Education （GCSE） exam.The tests assessed the children’s abilities in English， math and science subjects.The results showed that the more children participated in light to intense physical activity， the higher their test scores were at age 11 in all three subjects.For girls， science scores were most strongly linked to exercise.
When children were tested again at age 13， their academic scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they were 11 years old.By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam， each 17-minute-per-day increase in physical activity for the boys was linked to an improvement in their scores.Every additional 12-minute increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased score， especially in the science category.
The researchers have called for more studies to look at the possible academic benefits that could be derived if students exercised the recommended 60 minutes or more a day.
5.What’s the study about？
A.The secrets of students’ ranking high in class.
B.The influence of exercise on students’ scores.
C.The causes of students’ participating in sports.
D.The ways of improving students’ physical conditions.
6.What can we learn from the study？
A.Students at age 11 do more exercise than at other ages.
B.Boys at age 13 get more benefits by doing more exercise.
C.Girls’ science scores are more closely related to exercise.
D.More and more students do exercise to improve their scores.
7.What does the underlined word “derived” in the last paragraph probably mean？
A.Maintained. B.Reduced.
C.Concluded. D.Obtained.
8.What is the main purpose of the passage？
A.To emphasize the importance of exercise.
B.To explain the academic difference between boys and girls.
C.To present a method to improve children’s academic performance.
D.To introduce a study on the relevance between exercise and academic benefits.

A combination of physical poses and relaxation techniques， yoga can improve your balance， flexibility， posture （how you stand and move） and strength.As a non-competitive activity， it also encourages positive thinking， compassion （同情） and respect.What’s more， it’s been around for more than 5，000 years.Isn’t it high time that you gave it a try？
Some yoga studios run courses for young people， and lots of schools have set up yoga clubs.Clare Lewis at Az Yoga runs courses in primary schools.“Yoga can help to lay the foundation for lifelong health， happiness and healthy habits，” she says.“It gives you a few tools， such as movement， breathing and putting positive images in your mind， that you can use in moments of the challenge or stress.It also has lots of fun！”
Don’t worry if you can’t find a class nearby — one of the great things about yoga is that you can do it at home using online videos.Simply get into some comfortable clothes and find a quiet spot and you’re ready to go.
To me， Cosmic Kids on YouTube is a really fun introduction to yoga， but for something more grown-ups look for Adriene Mishler.She’s a well-known yoga teacher from the US whose YouTube channel has more than eight million subscribers （用户）.
Some of her videos are designed for young people， including Rainbow Yoga， Yoga for Kids and Yoga for Teens.
Once you get more experienced， you can practise yoga whenever you like， without using a video.You’ll soon feel calmer， more positive and stronger — both mentally and physically.
9.What’s the main purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To share the features of yoga.
B.To encourage people to try yoga.
C.To tell people the history of yoga.
D.To introduce the advantages of yoga.
10.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to？
A.Yoga. B.Happiness.
C.Movement. D.Health.
11.What can we know about Adriene Mishler？
A.She works at Az Yoga.
B.She runs courses in primary schools.
C.Her videos are designed only for adults.
D.Her YouTube channel is popular with people.
12.What’s the author’s attitude to Cosmic Kids？
A.Curious. B.Interested.
C.Negative. D.Unconcerned.

Professional ski instructors lead fascinating and exciting lives.If working and skiing at a ski resort most of the day appeals to you， then becoming a ski instructor must be your dream job！ 17 If you’re interested， talk to a career counselor （职业顾问） who will help you decide whether it’s the right path for you！

成功之路
在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托斯小镇附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里的祖父家延伸至附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛（NBA）赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料贴到电线杆上，建了一个简易篮筐。
与父亲戴尔·库里这位篮球明星一样，斯蒂芬的许多童年时光都是在这个土篮球场上度过的。尽管当时他可能并没有意识到，但就是在这里，他学会了如何成为一名有创造力、能够灵活变通的篮球运动员。你瞧，每次投篮，不牢固的塑料篮板都摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的小路凹凸不平，布满了石块，篮球也因此弹向四面八方。能够判断出球反弹的方向并不容易，因此他不得不调整自己的打球方式。他在这里学到的另一项技能是精准的投篮技术。只有完美地瞄准中心，篮球才能进入厚重的篮筐。如此日复一日地练习，斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火纯青。
尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功，但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱，无法延续他父亲的荣耀。但斯蒂芬继续坚持打球。打篮球是他的梦想，他绝不会放弃。终于，斯蒂芬在规模不大且鲜为人知的戴维森学院成为一名大学篮球赛的球员，这所学院离他家不算远。斯蒂芬凭借自己的创造性和毅力成为戴维森学院的明星球员。
2009年，斯蒂芬入选NBA，加入了金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮和不懈的努力，他的表现令人刮目相看。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军，这也是他带领勇士队获得的自1975年以来的第一个冠军。
在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后，斯蒂芬阐释了他的人生观：“我从未真正想过改变比赛……我只想做我自己……我知道这激励着很多后辈、很多热爱篮球比赛的人，让他们认识到技术的重要性，认识到你可以通过每天的不断努力而变得更好。你必须肯花时间和精力。这是我走到今天的方法，也是我每一天都能更进一步的原因。”斯蒂芬·库里激励着所有人去相信自己，他也生动地证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。通过自信、勤奋、毅力，以及一只旧篮筐的帮助，他向人们证明了一切皆有可能。

成功之路
在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托斯小镇附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂
芬·库里的祖父家延伸至附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛
（NBA）赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路
上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料贴到电线杆上，建了一个简易篮筐。
与父亲戴尔·库里这位篮球明星一样，斯蒂芬的许多童年时光都
是在这个土篮球场上度过的。尽管当时他可能并没有意识到，但就是
在这里，他学会了如何成为一名有创造力、能够灵活变通的篮球运动
员。你瞧，每次投篮，不牢固的塑料篮板都摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的小路
凹凸不平，布满了石块，篮球也因此弹向四面八方。能够判断出球反
弹的方向并不容易，因此他不得不调整自己的打球方式。他在这里学
到的另一项技能是精准的投篮技术。只有完美地瞄准中心，篮球才能
进入厚重的篮筐。如此日复一日地练习，斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火
纯青。
尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功，但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很
多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱，无法延续他父亲的荣耀。但斯蒂芬继续坚
持打球。打篮球是他的梦想，他绝不会放弃。终于，斯蒂芬在规模不
大且鲜为人知的戴维森学院成为一名大学篮球赛的球员，这所学院离
他家不算远。斯蒂芬凭借自己的创造性和毅力成为戴维森学院的明星
球员。
2009年，斯蒂芬入选NBA，加入了金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮
和不懈的努力，他的表现令人刮目相看。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的
第一个NBA总冠军，这也是他带领勇士队获得的自1975年以来的第一
个冠军。
在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后，斯蒂芬阐释了他的人生
观：“我从未真正想过改变比赛……我只想做我自己……我知道这激
励着很多后辈、很多热爱篮球比赛的人，让他们认识到技术的重要
性，认识到你可以通过每天的不断努力而变得更好。你必须肯花时间
和精力。这是我走到今天的方法，也是我每一天都能更进一步的原
因。”斯蒂芬·库里激励着所有人去相信自己，他也生动地证明了别人
对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。通过自信、勤奋、毅力，
以及一只旧篮筐的帮助，他向人们证明了一切皆有可能。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Born in 1928， Eugenio Monti， was the best young Italian skier
of his generation.He became known as the Flying Redhead and won
several national titles， but in 1951 an accident called an end to his
skiing career.It was then that he switched to bobsleigh.In 1954 he won
his first Italian championship and started to dominate the sport in
Italy and be a force internationally for more than a decade.However，
Monti is more widely remembered as the first athlete to be awarded
the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship displayed during the
1964 Winter Olympic Games.
At the 1964 Games in Innsbruck， Austria， Monti and his
partner Sergio Siorpaes were the defending world champions， which
made them favourites in the two-man event.Monti was desperate
to add Olympic golds to his medal collection because he was 36 years
old then and had already suffered serious problems with his knees，
arguably running out of time to achieve his Olympic dreams.But they
were in heated competition with the British team of Anthony Nash and
Robin Dixon.
After two runs on the first day， the British led the field.On day
two， however， a faulty axle （车轴） on the sled would have been
sure to lead to their withdrawal， if it weren’t for Monti offering to
lend them the bolt （螺栓） from his sled.The British pair went on to
record the fastest time on that final run and won gold by just 0.12
seconds， while Monti and Siorpaes claimed the bronze.
Four days later in the four-man event， Monti’s selflessness
towards his fellow competitors shone through for a second time when
the rear axle on the Canadian team’s sled was damaged.Monti sent the
Italian team’s mechanics to repair it， with the consequence that the
Canadian team won gold， with Monti having to settle for another
bronze.
Monti was recognised with the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for
sportsmanship after the 1964 Winter Games.And four years later， at
the age of 40， at the 1968 Games in Grenoble， Monti finally fulfilled
his dream of being an Olympic champion.

Working out can help teenagers boost their grades， a new study
suggests.Adolescents who routinely engaged in light to intense exercise
showed long-term improvements in their academic performance， the
British Journal of Sports Medicine study reported.
“Our study suggests that the effect of physical activity may be
quite large，” John Reilly， a professor at the University of
Strathclyde said.The researchers looked at a sample of about 5，000
children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children
born in the U. K. between 2004 and 2005.When children reached 11
years old， their daily physical activity levels were measured using an
accelerometer （加速器） for three to seven days.The device， similar
to a pedometer （计步器） tracking the number of steps taken，
recorded the average time children exercised， which was 29 minutes
a day for boys and 18 for girls.
“The actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite
low，” Mr Reilly noted.The children had their academic performance
tested at ages 11 and 13 with compulsory national tests for students，
and also at 15 or 16 with the General Certificate of Secondary
Education （GCSE） exam.The tests assessed the children’s abilities
in English， math and science subjects.The results showed that the
more children participated in light to intense physical activity， the
higher their test scores were at age 11 in all three subjects.For girls，
science scores were most strongly linked to exercise.
When children were tested again at age 13， their academic
scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they
were 11 years old.By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam，
each 17-minute-per-day increase in physical activity for the boys was
linked to an improvement in their scores.Every additional 12-minute
increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased
score， especially in the science category.
The researchers have called for more studies to look at the
possible academic benefits that could be derived if students
exercised the recommended 60 minutes or more a day.

A combination of physical poses and relaxation techniques， yoga
can improve your balance， flexibility， posture （how you stand and
move） and strength.As a non-competitive activity， it also
encourages positive thinking， compassion （同情） and
respect.What’s more， it’s been around for more than 5，000
years.Isn’t it high time that you gave it a try？
Some yoga studios run courses for young people， and lots of
schools have set up yoga clubs.Clare Lewis at Az Yoga runs courses in
primary schools.“Yoga can help to lay the foundation for lifelong
health， happiness and healthy habits，” she says.“ It gives you a
few tools， such as movement， breathing and putting positive images
in your mind， that you can use in moments of the challenge or
stress.It also has lots of fun！”
Don’t worry if you can’t find a class nearby — one of the great
things about yoga is that you can do it at home using online
videos.Simply get into some comfortable clothes and find a quiet spot
and you’re ready to go.
To me， Cosmic Kids on YouTube is a really fun introduction to
yoga， but for something more grown-ups look for Adriene
Mishler.She’s a well-known yoga teacher from the US whose YouTube
channel has more than eight million subscribers （用户）.
Some of her videos are designed for young people， including
Rainbow Yoga， Yoga for Kids and Yoga for Teens.
Once you get more experienced， you can practise yoga whenever
you like， without using a video.You’ll soon feel calmer， more
positive and stronger — both mentally and physically.

Skiing offers many benefits.It’s a sport people can enjoy with
friends and family.Skiers can get access to breathtaking mountain
scenery. 13 Thus， it’s worth learning to ski.When learning it，
many people turn to a ski instructor for help.
A ski instructor teaches people how to ski， helps experienced
skiers improve their skill， and may provide ski coaching for people
who intend to compete in skiing.Many ski instructors work as
employees for companies that run ski resorts （旅游胜地）. 14
When teaching beginners to ski， a ski instructor focuses on
skiing safety， proper form， and basic skiing skills.For advanced
skiers， advanced skiing skills should be taught. 15 But they can
help skiers try various types of skiing， including cross country
skiing， downhill skiing， etc.
16 Surely， one must be familiar with skiing and have
certain skiing skills and experience.Besides， one should have
patience， the ability to communicate clearly， and the ability to
adjust to meet the needs of individual skiers.Most importantly， one
has to have ski instructor qualifications and relevant certifications.

18. was invented 分析句子结构可知，本空作谓语，根据时间状语
more than 4，000 years ago可知，时态应为一般过去时，又因主语
The game和invent之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且主语为单数形
式，故填was invented。
19. oldest 根据空前的the和语境可知，此处应用形容词的最高级修
饰后面的名词board game，故填oldest。
20. whom 分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，其中介词
of放在关系词之前，而先行词为表示人的名词players，故填whom。
21. the 根据常识可知，围棋比赛需要两个人对弈，the other表示两
者中的另一个，故填the。
22. turns take turns to do sth为固定用法，意为“轮流做某事”，故填
turns。
23. placed 分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语是be moved，此处应为
非谓语动词，place与其逻辑主语stones之间构成动宾关系，故填
placed。
24. from 此处为remove sth from sth的被动语态，故填from。
es 根据语境和主句所用的一般现在时可知，此处应用一般现
在时，且主语为单数形式，故填comes。
26. counting 在介词by后，应用名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语，
故填counting。
27. simplify 分析句子结构可知，本空为该句的谓语，且空前有情态
动词，又因空处与主语之间为主动关系，故填动词原形simplify “简
化”。
