Physical education，or PE，isn't required for all high school students．In some schools，it isn't offered for some different reasons．But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”．
Today many people don't do sports．But as is known to all，doing sports is very important for an adult．Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult．

Not doing sports increases teens' hazard of developing many diseases．An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems．As much as 75 percent of healthcare spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes，according to the American College of Sports Medicine．
According to the President's Council on Fitness，Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN)，students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance．Students from programs with no physical activity，who used the extra time for classroom study，did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education．

I did my best to 8 it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer (肥料)，but it seemed hopeless．One morning I went out and looked at it again， 9 if it would be better to just cut it down．As I walked over to take a closer look at it， 10 ，I noticed something moving among the branches．It was a bird 11 building a nest (巢) in the topmost branches．I smiled and 12 that maybe this old tree had some life and usefulness left in it yet．It may not be healthy or pretty，but it was still giving a bird a 13 ．

Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了为什么高中生应该上体育课。

Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者小女儿从学校拿回来小树苗种在自家后院里，后来小树在将死之际，还能为鸟儿提供一个家，作者由此引发感慨：所有的生命都有存在的意义。
1．C [根据前文“she brought home four tiny twigs one day(有一天她带了四根小树枝回家)”，可知，此处指的是小树苗，故答案为C选项。]
2．B [根据后文“for the future”可知，此处作者对小树苗的未来充满了希望，故答案为B选项。]
3．C [根据后文“soil brought an end to three of them”可知，树苗生长的土壤并不好，故答案为C选项。]
4．A [根据前文“soil brought an end to three of them”可知，目前只剩下一棵树，结合选项可知，答案为A选项。]
5．B [根据前文“It never got very tall”和后文“The lower branches were becoming brown．”可知，这棵树是树枝弯曲着生长，并不是向高处长，故答案为B选项。]
6．D [根据后文“The lower branches were becoming brown．Only the top ones of the tree were still ．”和“I did my best to it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer，but it seemed hopeless．”可知，树叶变成棕色，作者施肥尽力拯救，但无济于事。故此处指作者发现这棵树快要死了，所以答案为D选项。]
7．A [根据前文“The lower branches were becoming brown．”低矮处的树枝正在变成棕色，再结合常识可知，此处指树顶端还是绿色的，故答案为A选项。]
8．D [根据前文作者发现这棵树快要死的细节描写可知，此处作者是要拯救这棵树，故答案为D选项。]
9．C [根据后文“if it would be better to just cut it down”是否把树砍掉会更好，由if引导的宾语从句可知，此处表达的是作者想知道是否把树砍了会更好，结合选项可知，答案为C选项。]

13．A [根据前文鸟儿在树枝中忙着筑巢的细节描写可知，此处指这棵树为鸟儿提供一个家，故答案为A选项。]
14．B [根据前文这棵树虽然快死掉了，但依然能让鸟儿筑巢的细节描写可知，作者是由这件事引发了“all of our lives have a purpose”这一感慨，结合选项可知，答案为B选项。]
15．D [根据前文树在生命的最后时刻还能为鸟儿提供一个家的细节描写可知，此处指直到我们生命的最后一刻，我们也是有一些有意义的事情要做的，结合选项可知，答案为D选项。]
Ⅴ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的中学生Sarah在上学的同时兼职做模特，并且取得了巨大的成功。虽然她父亲希望她做全职模特，但是Sarah仍然坚持要先完成学业。
1．resting [考查非谓语动词。句意：但与她的学校朋友不同的是，16岁的Sarah并没有花期中假来休息。此处用固定短语spend time (in) doing sth．，意为“花时间做某事”，因此空处应用rest的动词-ing形式。故填resting。]
2．a [考查冠词。句意：相反，她在纽约做模特，一天挣6 500美元。空处表示泛指，意为“一个，一名”，应用不定冠词，且model的发音以辅音音素开头，因此应用a。 ]
3．has been told/was told [考查时态和语态。句意：Sarah(已经)被告知，她可以在新的一年里成为英国新的超级名模，收入100万美元。空处作主句的谓语，tell和主语Sarah之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，此处可用现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在的影响，或理解为发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，故填has been told/was told。]
4．who [考查定语从句。句意：不过，和顶级模特一起参加过表演秀的Sarah想要展示的是，她不仅美丽，而且聪明。空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词Sarah作补充说明，引导词指人，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who。]
5．to show [考查非谓语动词。此处用固定短语want to do sth．，意为“想要做某事”，因此空处应用show的不定式形式to show。]
6．education [考查名词。句意：她决定继续她的学业。分析句子可知，空处被形容词性物主代词her修饰，作carry on with的宾语，因此应用educate的名词形式education，意为“教育，学业”，是不可数名词。 ]
7．opportunities [考查名词复数。句意：为了专心学习，她拒绝了很多走秀的机会。空处作turned down的宾语，结合空前的many可知，opportunity应用复数形式。故填opportunities。]
8．in [考查介词。句意：毕业后，她计划休学一年全职当模特，然后上大学攻读工程学或建筑学位。根据空前的“a degree”和空后的“engineering or architecture”可知，degree后应用介词in，表示在某方面的学位。 ]
9．comes [考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但目前，学校是第一位的。空处作句子的谓语，此处Sarah谈自己对做全职模特和继续学业之间如何选择的想法，使用的是一般现在时，空处也是在讨论当前阶段的情况，时态宜保持一致，且主语school为单数，come应用单数形式。故填comes。]
10．certainly [考查副词。句意：这无疑很有趣，但生活方式有点不真实。空处是修饰fun，因此应用certain的副词形式certainly，意为“无疑，确定”。 ]
