Hockey， both on ice and on a field， wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide.Field hockey is mainly played in Europe， Africa， Asia， and Australia， while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US， where kids grow up playing pond hockey.Unlike ice hockey， field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football — 4 billion fans
Football， better known as soccer in the US， is by far the most popular sport in the world.Experts estimate that the origin （起源） of football may go as far back as two thousand years， beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty.One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment， all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball — 900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net， each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor.A popular variant， beach volleyball， is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team.The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis — 1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches.In tennis， players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent （对手） or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points.Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are now household names around the world， with huge international fan bases.

（2025·南阳六校高一上联考） For the past ten years， John Smith has undergone an unusual journey.Once a sedentary office worker with little interest in physical activity， he is now a dedicated triathlete （铁人三项运动员）.
In 2013， John weighed over 250 pounds and led a mostly inactive lifestyle.His days were spent sitting behind a desk for long hours， with little to no exercise.But a health scare one day made him realize he needed to make a drastic change.
John started small.He began by taking short walks during his lunch breaks.Gradually， he increased the duration and intensity of his walks.Before long， he was jogging and then running.Running became a passion for him.He started participating in local 5-K races and soon moved on to longer distances.
As he got fitter， John decided to take on the challenge of a triathlon.He taught himself to swim and bought a second-hand bicycle.The training was grueling.There were days when he wanted to give up， especially when he faced challenges like injuries and poor race results.But he kept on going.
Today， John has completed several triathlons， including some long-distance ones.His life has changed completely.He not only lost a large amount of weight but also gained a new sense of confidence and purpose.
He credits his success to his determination and the support of his family and friends.“The journey hasn’t been easy， but every step has been worth it.I never thought I could do something like this， but here I am，” John says.
Now， John runs， swims， and cycles several times a week.He is planning to participate in an international triathlon event next year and hopes to encourage others to take up a healthy lifestyle.

（2025·杭州高一上期中） Exercise doesn’t just help you lose fat.It could also promote healthier fat， according to a new study.“Living a physically active lifestyle makes our fat tissue （组织） a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight，” said senior study author Dr Jeffrey Horowitz， professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan.
To see how exercise impacts fat tissue， researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with obesity： those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years， and those who did not exercise regularly.Those who had a history of regular exercise had fat cells which showed characteristics that increase how much fat they can store.It is important that the fat tissue under the skin has a greater capacity （容量） so that if a person does gain weight， the increasing fat can go there instead of more dangerous places， such as the heart or liver. Dr Jeffrey added，“Unfortunately， most of us， even regular exercisers， gain weight as we get older.If we have a greater capacity to store that in our fat tissue， less of it will go to our liver， our heart， or other places that in excess （过量） can be really problematic.”
This study shows that researchers need to learn more about fat tissue and how it is connected to health and lifestyle changes， said Dr Andrew Freeman， director of cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver.“Just being overweight may not be the whole story，” he said.“The tissue used to be understood as only functioning to store energy， but researchers are just starting to learn it has many functions，” Freeman said.“It makes sense to have some degree of fat so you have some reserve， but not to the point that the typical American has.”
The key finding of the study is that healthier fat storage is just another good reason to live a physically active life.If you want to start， Freeman suggests trying out exercise first thing in the morning.

（2025·广西崇左高一上月考） Everyone has their own way to “recharge” their sense of wellbeing — something that makes them feel good physically， emotionally， and spiritually even if they aren’t consciously aware of it.Personally， I know that few things can improve my day as quickly as a walk around the block or even just getting up from my desk and doing some push-ups.A hike through the woods is ideal when I can make it happen.But that’s me.It’s not simply that I enjoy these activities but also that they make me feel better and clear my mind.
Mental health and physical health are closely connected.No kidding — what’s good for the body is often good for the mind.Knowing that what you can do physically has this effect on you will change your day and your life.
Physical activity has many mental health benefits.These have been published in the journal Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and include improved brain health and cognitive function — the ability to think， if you will， a reduced risk of tension and worry， improved sleep and overall quality of life.Although not a cure for all， increasing physical activity directly contributes to improved mental health and better overall health and wellbeing.
Learning how to manage stress and getting screened for depression are simply good prevention practices in daily life.Awareness is especially important at this time of year， when disruptions to healthy habits and choices can be more likely and more annoying.
Shorter days and colder temperatures have a way of breaking up the normal life — as do the holidays， with both their joys and their stresses.When the rich sunshine and clear skies of temperate （温和的） months give way to terrible weather， less daylight， and festive gatherings， it may happen unconsciously or seem natural to be less physically active.However， that tendency is just why it’s so important that we are ever more mindful of our physical and emotional health and how we can maintain both at this time of year.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了体育活动对身心健康的作用。
12.What is the author’s regular way of “recharging” his wellbeing？（ ）
A.Working out in a gym.

B.The ways to improve brain health.
C.The mental health benefits of physical activity.
D.The bond between mental health and physical health.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，体育活动对心理健康有许多的好处。
14.What does the underlined word “disruption” in paragraph 4 probably mean？（ ）
A.Achievement. B.Destruction.
C.Advantage. D.Development.
解析：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的to healthy habits和句末的more annoying可知，能够让人讨厌、恼火的肯定是对健康习惯的破坏。由此推测，disruption意为“破坏，妨碍”，与destruction意义一致。
15.Why does the author mention shorter days， colder temperatures and festivals？（ ）
A.To persuade us to enjoy our current lives.
B.To show useful advice on keeping healthy.
C.To describe unexpected things in our lives.
D.To remind us to care about wellbeing anytime.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，作者提到白天变短、气温变冷和节日是为了提醒我们在任何时候都要关注健康。

（2025·六盘水高一上月考） A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April.A few athletes were already stretching （拉伸） their arms， but most of us could barely focus.As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal， I spotted a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge， and I immediately signed up.I always wanted to train for a marathon， so I considered this as my warm-up.Besides， I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper， but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions （限制） wouldn’t be easy.I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day， and I didn’t disturb （干扰） my normal routine.Instead， I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time， thus breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey.But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things.Just like a career， you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen.But that’s hard.Throughout the 21 days， I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising.However， finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.
At the end of the challenge， I learned something even more important： Feeling the results is better than seeing them.I had fewer headaches and more energy， and was simply happier.I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body， and learned how to make healthier meals.I felt a sense of accomplishment （成就）， too， because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times， I didn’t.I felt my waist got smaller and my arms got stronger， and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.

（2025·沧州高一上月考） In the classic movie The Mighty Ducks， a group of ice hockey players band together， get better， and eventually win.That’s the dream of players on losing teams.But for many kids’ sports teams， it doesn’t.There is no winning， no victory cheers.
Most people don’t like losing， with the discouraging record of the scoreboard， watching while the other team’s players throw victorious hands in the air.Parents adjust complex family schedules for seemingly countless practices， then wonder what it’s all for when their child’s team never comes home a winner.So is losing all the time really good for children？ It can be.Experts agree that losing at sports， no matter how unending， can allow children to learn from failure.Losing all the time builds philosophy， friendship， sportsmanship， and the idea of athletics as a series of increasing victories.The team may struggle， but teammates improve moment by moment.
Milt Shapiro， who lives in Washington， coaches a team that lost “by football scores”.He doesn’t worry if a player cries， even though tears upset parents.“I love the fact that he’s crying， which means he cares and he’s passionate.We will change that into something we can use on the field.I would focus on small victories within each game，” he says.
Sports psychologist Caroline Silby， who practices in the Washington area， says in an email that the real problem with losing all the time lies with the parents.Trying to make children win all the time can be harmful.Also， losing is not such a big deal that it should be covered up.If parents don’t speak about games — or seasons — that ended badly， children may think that means that failure is so awful that they shouldn’t even talk about it.
Also， Silby says， if parents get angry， blame unskilled players， or talk endlessly about a loss， they ruin the whole point of being on a team： a sense of belonging.Athletes who have that feeling — that they are connected to something larger than themselves — are less stressed and have higher self-esteem.And overall， she says， losing seasons can give athletes some perspective and help them grow better at managing frustration and doubt.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了正确面对运动中的失败对于孩子成长的好处。
5.What’s the experts’ opinion about children’s losing at sports？（ ）
A.It exercises parents’ patience.
B.It’s beneficial to kids’ growth.
C.It makes a team less competitive.
D.It leads to children’s short-lived emotion.
解析：B 观点态度题。根据第二段中的So is losing all ...can allow children to learn from failure.可推知，专家们认为孩子在体育方面的失败对他们的成长是有益的。
6.How does Milt Shapiro react to his team’s loss？（ ）
A.He changes their training plans.
B.He gets angry with his students.
C.He comforts players with small gifts.
D.He treats it as a learning opportunity.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据第三段Milt Shapiro所说I love the fact that ...focus on small victories within each game可推知，他把球队的失利看作是一次学习的机会。
7.What does Caroline Silby advise parents to do？（ ）
A.Hide kids’ losing properly.
B.Put more effort into kids’ training.
C.Encourage kids to face failure directly.
D.Draw kids’ attention to things beyond games.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Trying to make children win all the time ...that it should be covered up.可知，卡罗琳·西尔比建议父母鼓励孩子直接面对失败。
8.What would be the best title for the text？（ ）
A.How Do Kids React to Losing at Sports？
B.How Does Losing at Sports Impact Children？
C.How Can Losing at Sports Be Good for Kids？
D.How Should Coaches Respond to Children’s Losing？
解析：C 标题归纳题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段和最后一段最后两句可知，文章主要讲述了运动中的失败可以让孩子们从失败中学习，并且可以让孩子更好地面对失败和疑虑，帮助他们成长。因此C项为文章最佳标题。
