(2025·长沙市适应性考试)
For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball, the little known paddleball game is one of America's fastest growing sports.
Invented in 1965 by three middle aged fathers in Washington State, pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, ping pong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated (穿孔的) plastic ball.The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.
Most of pickleball's core players—those who play more than eight times per year—are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to USA Pickleball.But with so many new players, the U.S.is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts.The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by USA Pickleball's count, but that continues to grow by several dozen every month.
Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport (观赏性体育运动).Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights.Traditional broadcasters' interest in the sport is growing.So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online.
“The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented (前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry.Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw wider audiences, as has been the key to success for other sports leagues—that also started with grassroots and unusual names.“I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, in 10, or 20 years, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.”
语篇导读:文章主要介绍了匹克球这项新兴运动在美国迅速兴起。
1.What do we know about the pickleball game from the text
A.It may be named after a dog.
B.It was popular among young kids.
C.It's a cross between tennis and volleyball.
D.It was invented by three ordinary women.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.”可知,匹克球运动可能是以一只狗的名字命名的。故选A。
2.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.The playing time. B.The form of matches.
C.The number of courts. D.The participation rate.
解析:C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“...the U.S. is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts.”和“The country has only about 10,000 places to play”可知,美国正在努力满足对匹克球场地的需求。据统计,美国只有大约一万个匹克球比赛场所,结合画线词前的but可知,此处是指比赛场地的数量会继续增长,所以 that 是指比赛场地的数量。故选C。
3.Which best describes“a famous star” to pickleball according to Ben Shields
A.Humble. B.Inflexible.
C.Harmful. D.Influential.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw wider audiences, as has been the key to success for other sports leagues—that also started with grassroots and unusual names.”可知,本·希尔兹认为匹克球仍然需要一位明星来吸引更多的观众,由此可推知,“明星”对匹克球是很有影响力的。故选D。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.The History of Pickleball
B.The Growing Popularity of Pickleball
C.The Rise and Fall of Pickleball
D.The Rules of Playing Pickleball
解析:B 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段“For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball, the little known paddleball game is one of America's fastest growing sports.”可知,文章主要介绍了一项在美国快速兴起的运动——匹克球,因此,B项(匹克球越来越受欢迎)适合作为文章标题。故选B。

(2025·八省联考)
Want to learn a new language or get A's in college exams Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert(转换) new information into long term memory.A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning.
Participants—72 healthy male and female adults—were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning.After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two thirds of them also exercised.Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test.The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.
Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI(磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity.The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately.Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned.
According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying.But why That's one question the researchers have yet to answer.Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning.I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning.

(2025·南京盐城一模)
In the town of Greenfield, a group of three adventurous spirits—Jack, Simon, and Lucas—had discovered an ancient map in Jack's grandfather's house.The map, yellowed with age, described a mysterious island that had the legendary (传说的) Silver Falcon, a statue that was said to award its finder enormous wisdom and fortune.
As typical eighth graders with the excitement of discovery and dreams of greatness, they decided they would be the ones to discover this hidden treasure.They agreed to start this search during the upcoming spring break, keeping their plans a secret from the adults who would undoubtedly discourage such a dangerous adventure.
The days that followed were filled with preparation.They read books on survival, learned about the stars for navigation, and tested their courage in smaller woods.The boys were united by their unshakable resolve and the promise of an adventure that could change their lives forever.
As spring break began, they set out just as the sun painted the sky with colors of orange and gold.They felt a mixture of excitement and slight nervousness.They carried backpacks filled with supplies and the ancient map that they hoped would lead them to glory.
The beginning of their journey was full of laughter and songs around the campfire, but as days passed, the trip's reality set in.The path grew more dangerous, and the map guided them through thick woods and muddy wetlands.They learned to work together as their friendship was tested by constant challenges.Slowly, the island drew nearer.
A conflict arose when they reached the foot of Mount Veritas, the final barrier before reaching the island.Lucas twisted his ankle, and the slightest movement sent sharp pains shooting through his leg.With time running out, Jack and Simon had to make a choice: Should they push on and risk Lucas' well being or turn back after coming so far
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

参考范文:
At a crossroads, Jack and Simon exchanged knowing glances.They realized they couldn't leave Lucas behind and that the statue could wait, but their friendship could not.With great determination and strengthened bonds, they constructed a makeshift stretcher and carried Lucas through the last leg of their journey.As they reached the top of the last hill, the island revealed itself in all its glory.It was more impressive than what they could have ever imagined.The Silver Falcon stood in the center, its wings shining in the sunlight.
When reaching the Silver Falcon, the three boys found no fortune there at all.At that time, they realized the true treasure of their journey.It wasn't about the wisdom or fortune the Silver Falcon could bring—it was about the memories they had created together and the lessons they learned along the way.In an unexpected turn, the Silver Falcon seemed to acknowledge their growth.As they stood before it, its eyes shone brightly, and the forest around them came alive with the songs of birds and rustling leaves.A soft voice filled the clearing, congratulating them on their bravery and unity.
