Exercising for just 15 minutes a day can greatly improve fitness, energy, health and sleep, according to a study from Australia. In this study, 11,575 workers participated (参与) in a workplace wellness programme called the 15 Minute Challenge.
Lead researcher Ben Singh explained, “We showed that as little as 15 minutes of physical activity per day can make a big difference in people’s health.” After six weeks of the programme, 36 percent of the participants met their activity goals and 56 percent did even better.
The participants reported improvements in various areas: 14 percent said they had increased fitness, 12 percent showed improvements in energy, and 8 percent said they got better sleep. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) suggests that adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (中等强度) exercise each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities. However, the HHS’ 2018 report noted that nearly 80 percent of US adults did not meet the national guidelines, leading to high health care costs.
On average, those who took part in the 15 Minute Challenge increased their physical activity levels by 85 minutes per week and exercised for about 45 minutes per day—three times what the challenge required. “The 15-minute goal is an easy starting point, especially for people who are not very active,” said Singh. “It helps people build the habit of regular exercise.”
Professor Carol Maher, a co-researcher, noted that the programme was so successful because it made exercise fun. “Encouraging your teammates through friendly competition is central to the programme, and a key part of what makes participants stay connected,” she said.
Singh highlighted the importance of promoting (推广) physical activity in workplaces, where many adults spend a lot of time. “Physically active workers are happier, healthier, and more productive,” he said. “Programmes like the 15 Minute Challenge should be part of every company’s schedule.”
( )1.Which word best describes the result of the fitness programme
A.Unfair. B.Incorrect.
C.Stressful. D.Satisfying.
( )2.Which is the percentage of the participants reporting better sleep
A.8%. B.12%.
C.14%. D.36%.
( )3.What can we know about the fitness programme from Maher’s words
A.It breaks a general rule.
B.It sees unfair competition.
C.It values exercise in groups.
D.It aims for a close friendship.
( )4.What does Singh think of promoting physical activity in workplaces
A.It shortens office hours.
B.It is a win-win situation.
C.It is a difficult decision.
D.It increases medical costs.

1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“After six weeks of the programme, 36 percent of the participants met their activity goals and 56 percent did even better.”可知,此次健身项目的结果令人满意。故选D。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段“The participants reported improvements in various areas: 14 percent said they had increased fitness, 12 percent showed improvements in energy, and 8 percent said they got better sleep.”可知,在此次健身项目中,8%的参与者表示睡眠质量提高了。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘Encouraging your teammates through friendly competition is central to the programme, and a key part of what makes participants stay connected,’ she said.”可推断,此次健身项目重视集体锻炼。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Physically active workers are happier, healthier, and more productive,’ he said. ‘Programmes like the 15 Minute Challenge should be part of every company’s schedule.’”可推断,Singh认为在工作场所推广健身活动是一个双赢的局面。故选B。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统武术——太极。
1.traditional 考查形容词。空后是名词词组,所以空处应填形容词作定语,tradition的形容词形式是traditional。故填traditional。
2.requiring 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是are,故require用非谓语动词形式,且require与逻辑主语movements是主动关系,用现在分词形式,故填requiring。
3.regularly 考查副词。修饰practising用副词作状语。故填regularly。
4.anxiety 考查名词。此处用名词anxiety作宾语,and连接stress和anxiety作动词reduce的宾语,故填anxiety。
5.its 考查代词。修饰名词characteristics用形容词性物主代词its作定语,故填its。
6.has gained 考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据上文in recent years可知句子时态为现在完成时,主语为tai chi,助动词用has。故填has gained。
7.for 考查介词。benefit for…意为“对……有好处”。根据本句的both the body and mind可知是对身心都有好处。故填for。
8.To become 考查不定式。空处用不定式作目的状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填To become。
9.which/that 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰practice,在从句中作主语,指物,用关系代词which或者that,故填which/that。
10.an 考查冠词。play an important role in…意为“在……中起着重要作用”,important发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了毕业之后,作者决定要开始锻炼,起初是在健身房的跑步机上行走,后来在朋友强烈的建议下,开始尝试了美式壁球和打网球,并且练习得非常成功。作者由此学到了宝贵的一课:作者可以做他下定决心要做的任何事情。只要付诸努力,结果会随之而来。
1.C 根据前文内容“…I decided to take the gym seriously.”可知,作者决定要在健身房锻炼,于是“开始”在跑步机上行走。故答案为C。quit退出;change改变;start开始;design设计。
2.B 提示词however表明前后句意呈转折关系,由后文“My friend, however, became bored.”可知作者的朋友感觉无聊,所以前文指作者是“满意的”,二者构成转折。故答案为B。confident自信的;content满意的;familiar熟悉的; careful小心的。
3.D 根据空前suggested可知这只是建议,还没有开始,结合空后的an outdoor sport可知,take up符合题意,表示“开始”一项户外运动。故答案为D。focus on专注于;check in登记;make up编造;take up开始从事。
4.C 根据空前uncoordinated可知,作者应该是“拒绝”了朋友的想法,前后构成因果关系。故答案为C。revise修订;support支持;refuse拒绝;admire钦佩。
5.B 由前文“I was an uncoordinated (动作不协调的) person, so I…his idea.”可知,作者起初拒绝了朋友的开始户外活动的建议,提示词but表明前后句意呈转折关系,故此处指几周之后,朋友成功“说服”我去该户外场地。故答案为B。remind提醒;persuade说服;request请求;addict使上瘾。
6.A 根据前文“When I hit the ball, I sent it flying in every direction except the direction that…”和后文“Still, somehow, I tried hard to learn it…”可知这里要表达的是“想要”的方向和实际击球的方向不一样,即作者的击球方向与预期不符。故答案为A。want想要;imagine想象;schedule计划;arrange安排。
7.B 根据并列连词and和空后内容after constantly practising可知,经过持续练习后作者变得“熟练”了。故答案为B。fluent流利的;skilful熟练的;curious好奇的;impressive令人印象深刻的。
8.C 根据后文“Why not play tennis to build up our body ”可知,朋友想要通过打网球来锻炼身体,所以认为在跑步机上并不能得到充分的“锻炼”。故答案为C。action行动;adventure冒险;exercise锻炼;time时间。
9.A 空格处所在句的主语that指代前文的play tennis,由此可知这里要表达的是打网球“需要”真正的技巧。故答案为A。require需要;explore探索; improve提高;include包括。
10.B 根据前文“Tennis I can’t play tennis! That…real skills!”可知空处指代前文朋友建议通过打网球来强身健体,这是一种新的“建议”。故答案为B。behaviour行为; suggestion建议;strategy策略;goal目标。
11.C 根据“However, weeks later, I started playing tennis.”以及practice和“…what tennis players…as the ‘sweet spot’.”并结合常识可知,这里表达的是网球运动员视为“最佳击球点”的地方。故答案为C。doubt怀疑;comment评论;view看待,把……视为;express表达。
12.A 由前文“However, weeks later, I started playing tennis. After several months of painful practice, one day, as the ball came flying towards me, my racket and the ball met in what tennis players…as the ‘sweet spot’.”可知,作者起初抗拒朋友打网球的新建议,但几周之后还是开始进行这一运动,并且某天打出了完美的球,由此可知这里是指作者“终于”学会了如何正确打网球,前后形成时间顺序。故答案为A。finally最终;formally正式地;obviously明显地; actually实际上。
13.D 冒号后的内容进一步解释了该空,“…I can do whatever I set my mind on.”是作者从这些经历中学到的“经验”。故答案为D。lecture讲座;responsibility责任; suggestion建议;lesson经验。
14.B 根据并列连词and和“I just need to put in efforts…”可知,努力之后好的结果也会“随之而来”。故答案为B。flash闪现; follow跟随;contact联系;narrow缩小。
15.D 由前文“…I can do whatever I set my mind on. I just need to put in efforts, and the results will…”可知,作者通过这几次经历明白了只要下定决心去做,就可以成功,后文“…I’m always filled with a sense of excitement.”描述了作者总是充满兴奋感,所以作者现在喜欢尝试新鲜事物,对新鲜事物保持“积极乐观”。故答案为D。calm冷静的;angry生气的; confused困惑的; positive积极的。(共42张PPT)

sleep. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
suggests that adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of

On average, those who took part in the 15 Minute

times what the challenge required. “The 15-minute goal is an

Singh highlighted the importance of promoting (推广)

【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了毕业之后，作
者决定要开始锻炼，起初是在健身房的跑步机上行走，后来在朋友
强烈的建议下，开始尝试了美式壁球和打网球，并且练习得非常成
功。作者由此学到了宝贵的一课：作者可以做他下定决心要做的任
何事情。只要付诸努力，结果会随之而来。
