阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and
well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the
body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance.
Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will
produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises,
you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your
total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as
"resistance training", are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge
difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your
risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of
movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to
breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping
them stay
independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with
your feet on the ground. Heel — to — toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to
improve balance.
21. What does the writer advise people to benefit from the exercise rules?
A. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
B. By combining all the four exercise types together.
C. By having sufficient rest to reduce the risk of injury.
D. By timing the speed and lengthening the training time frequently.
22. Which exercise types are efficient to better a person's blood-flow system?
A. Strength and Balance B. Flexibility and Balance
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. Endurance and Flexibility D. Endurance and Strength
23. Which part of the body benefit more from strength and flexibility?
A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Bones D. Muscles

A starving polar bear seen hunting for food in a major industrial city in northern Siberia has
been captured and will be transported to a wildlife park for treatment, according to local
reports.
Photos showed the female animal trudging across a busy road with muddy paws, digging
through rubble and trash and lying down from apparent exhaustion on the ground.
Experts believe the animal, initially thought to have wandered hundreds of miles from its
natural habitat in the Arctic, instead may have been taken as a baby polar and raised in enclosed
places by traders, according to the Siberian Times.
The experts explained that it is typically not females but males that migrate long distances,
and said this polar bear was too clean to have made such a travel, the newspaper reported. They
told the newspaper it's possible that poachers released the animal to avoid being caught and
punished. Polar bear poaching has been banned in Russia for more than 60 years. Still, it has
been estimated that as many as 200 of them are killed each year in the Far East region.
As the Washington post's Isaac Stanley-Becker reported, polar bears “are classified as a
vulnerable species because of the 'ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting
from climate change, according to the World Wildlife Fund”.
24.What does the underlined word “enclosed" mean in paragraph 3?
A. Fenced B. Chained C. Diverged D. Guaranteed
25. Why do experts believe that the polar bear did not travel from the Arctic to Russia by
itself?
A. Because this polar bear is too exhausted. B. Because this polar bear is a male.
B. Because this polar bear has no family. D. Because this polar bear looks clean.
26.Traditionally, which of the following travel long according to the experts?
A. baby polar bears B. female polar bears C. male polar bears D. strong polar
bears
27.Why, according to the writer, are bears classified as vulnerable species?
A. Because they have white fur.
B. Because their sea ice habitat is disappearing.
C. Because they are not cut enough.
D. Because they are often captured by poachers and pelt traders.

There are plenty of health benefits of spending time in the great outdoors. According to a
study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, people who grew
up with access to nature may have better mental health as adults than those who did not.
To test their hypothesis（假设），researchers sent questionnaires to 3, 585 adults aged 18
to 75 in four European cities on topics such as how often they visited natural spaces as children
and now as adults. Participants were also given psychological test to determine the state of their
mental health in the last month. Adults with low levels of nature exposure during childhood saw
“significantly worse” mental health issues and did not view natural spaces as much importance
in adulthood as those who spent more time growing up outside.
Researchers say that their findings show the importance of childhood exposure to natural
spaces as it relates to developing an appreciation of nature and healthy psychological state in
adulthood.
This is particularly significant, because almost three-quarters of Europeans currently live in
urban areas with little access to green spaces. That number is expected to increase to 80 percent
in the next three decades. Mental health has been shown to be negatively influenced by urban
environments due to exposure to noise, crowds and a lack of green spaces among other things.
Children who lead inactive lifestyles are more likely to have a lower quality of life and physical
health.
“Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural
outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in," said study author Mark
Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal's Urban Planning, Environment and Health Initiative. "We
make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green
schoolyards."
28. What inspiration do researchers take from their findings ?
A. the health of children's psychology.
B. the state of children's mental health.
C. the development of nature appreciation.
D. the importance of childhood exposure to nature.
29.What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?
A. Europeans prefer an inactive lifestyle.
B. European Children are in good physical health.
C. Europeans lack access to natural spaces.
D. European Children probably suffer lower quality of life.

A. Urban planning. B. Economic policies.
C. Child education. D. Local tourism.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Indoor Activities Are Good for Children's Growth
B. Living in Urban Areas Harms Psychological Health
C. An Inactive Lifestyle Means a Lower Quality of Life
D. Childhood Exposure to Nature Benefits Mental Health
D
Ever since Donald Trump was elected the President of the US, the entire Trump family has
been put under the microscope. In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and
his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with
stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads dream life that a million girls
would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by
herself
There are always articles that say people born into wealthy families are better-looking and
have a better-family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. Are you a
loser if you are raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty at sleeping eight hours a day
because Ivanka sleeps five?
If you just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? What
if you don't work out or eat healthily? Does that mean you will not find your Mr or Miss Right?
There is a tendency in the media nowadays to encourage elitism（精英主义）.They are trying
to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest a huge amount of time and
money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement so as to improve the quality of their life
and join the elite. But what's the disadvantage of being of average quality? Do you really need
to go to the gym five days a week unless you are gym maniac（狂人）？ Do you really need
to break your neck to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to be accepted
into high society later?
Don't let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to live the life they want.
Human beings should not be judged a success or failure on whether they are a part of the elite or
not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people's
shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it.
32. What does Paragraph 1 serve as ?
A. A lead-in B. A background C. An argument D. A summary

C. Feel dissatisfied with out of envy. D. Attempt to escape from in reality.
34. What's the author's attitude towards an ordinary office clerk?

35. What is the message mainly conveyed in the story?
A. Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

Throughout Ben Franklin's adult life, he consistently invested roughly an hour a day in
deliberate learning. I call this Franklin's five-hour rule: one hour a day on every weekday. Every
time Franklin took time out of his busy day to follow his five-hour rule and spend at least an hour
learning, he accomplished a little on that day. 36 .
So what would it look like to make the five-hour rule part of our lifestyle?
l. Plan out the learning. This allows us to think carefully about what we want to learn. We
should not merely have goals for what we want to accomplish. 37 .
2. 38 . Rather than doing things automatically and not improving, we can apply the proven
principles of deliberate practice so we keep on improving.
3.Reflect. This helps us get more ideas on our lessons learned and absorb new ideas. It can
also help us develop slow thoughts in order to have creative breakthroughs. 39 . Another
powerful way is through conversation partners.
4.Set aside time just for learning. This includes activities like reading, having conversations,
taking classes, observing others, etc.
5.Solve problems as they arise. 40 . But calmly facing the problems creates the space to
address small ones before they turn into big ones.
6.Do small experiments with big potential payoffs. Whether or not an experiment works, it's
an opportunity to learn and test your ideas.
A. Deliberately practice
B. Create a club for like-minded persons.
C. Have morning and evening reflection questions.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D. Walking is a great way to process these insights.
E. We should also have goals for what we want to learn.
F. However, in the long run, it was undoubtedly the best investment of his time he could
have made.
G. When most people experience problems during the day, they sweep them under the rug
so that they can continue their to-do list.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段，使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
Hopelessly I was being with a class of wild senior year girls as they threw paper and shouted
loudly with laughter. No one seemed to care about who would step into the classroom, let alone
listen to me. And being a teacher was the last choice of my occupations. I wanted to be a writer.
But when I arrived in London, teachers in this community were badly needed.
However hard I tried to manage a normal teaching , their facial expressions told me that it
was in vain . For the previous 2 months, as soon as the bell finally rang, I rushed to the staff
room, red with anger. The other teachers weren't surprised. "That's Top Naughty, the most
difficult class in the whole school."
But I was reluctant to give up. I decided to abandon formal teaching and lessons. Instead, I
brought topics for class discussions. Two of the liveliest talks were: the arguments they had with
their parents and their choices when being in dilemma. For the first time in my memory they
were serious, sharing about their lives and behaving as a mature adult. I was fascinated.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Therefore, I had them write about themselves. As time went on, their essays became a bridge
between us. I admired their humor, determination and perspective, and meanwhile I thought they
appreciated my interest in their lives.
The musical My Fair Lady(窈窕淑女)was playing in the West End, I asked if they'd like to
see the musical. They thought I was joking and did not take it seriously, since no teacher had
ever suggested taking them out. A few weeks later, Top Naughty and I were sitting in a theatre.
They loved the music and the main character who changed herself from the wildest to the most
elegant. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for the rest of their last year.
Near the end of their senior year, someone knocked on the door of the staff room .
