参考范文
With the development of the society , people’s awareness of health has been
strengthened.It is widely acknowledged that students’ physical health is as important as
academic performance.
Although/Though they have a large amount of homework to do every day,the students
should also spare some time to do exercise to get into shape.As far as I’m concerned,schools
should hold varieties of out-of-class activities for the benefit of students’ physical and mental
health.In addition,what is also important is to have a balanced diet,which will contribute
to your health in the long term.
Just as a famous saying goes,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”With joint efforts,
students will end up with a healthy and active school life.

高考题型组合练(1)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of
serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less.
“Plate size doesn’t matter as much as we think it does,” says Dr.Tzvi Ganel,head of
the study in a media release.“No matter the size of the plate,serving sizes can still appear
similar.”
Some dieters may try eating off of smaller plates,hoping that they will feel full because the
serving size appears larger on the smaller plate.This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef
illusion(错觉),which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the
circle to be smaller than when the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.
Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with visual perception of food portions.In
the experiment,participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions
that were placed on larger versus smaller trays.But participants who had not eaten for at least three
hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly.
The authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes.Both groups of participants
performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps(轮毂) placed
inside different sized circles.Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our
ability to analyze and process what we are seeing.
“Over the last decade,restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively
smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias(偏差) that it will reduce food consumption,” says
Ganel.“This study debunks that view.When people are hungry,especially when dieting,they
are less likely to be fooled by the plate size,more likely to realize they are eating less and more
ready to overeating later.”
So don’t kid yourself.Put away the Barbie plates and give it three hours.Then grab that giant
plate and dig in.Your eyes will choose the right size.

There are over 7 billion people in this world,with over 7 billion different opinions about
outer beauty.What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else
and vice versa.And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical
features,there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing.
Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look.Plastic surgery(整形)
and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable.This is
absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health.
Sadly,with social media being a massive part of our lives,far too many people are
struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them,but because
they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society.So they delve into(钻
研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in.
In reality,what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies,but remodeling our
mindset.We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves.We should be
inspired to learn more languages , so we can dive into different cultures and expand our
limits.Instead of spending money on looking like someone else,spend time in becoming the best
version of yourself,because outer beauty fades,but the beauty within is timeless.
As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink,when asked about what traits(特性) they look
for in a potential long-term partner,most people name things that have nothing to do with physical
appearance.Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness,Loyalty,Patience,Integrity,
A good sense of humor,and A supportive nature.
All of these traits can be found in anyone,regardless of the outer beauty they possess.More
importantly,these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life
partners,meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face.

色,而内在美才是永恒的观点。

7.What’s one feature of inner beauty according to the author?
A.It’s permanent.
B.It can be measured.
C.It’s a natural-born thing.
D.It varies from culture to culture.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Instead of spending money on looking like someone else,

Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·江苏连云港期中)
Approximately 40 percent adults and 19 percent children in the US are obese(肥胖的).Obese
people are at increased risk of many serious diseases,including high blood pressure,diabetes and
heart disease. 1 If you are suffering from these,here’s a way of losing weight that you can
try.
Dietary “self-monitoring” is a common strategy that people use to lose weight. 2 The
theory is that when thinking of what you put in your body,you’ll make healthier decisions.Can it
really be that easy? There’s no doubt that dietary self-monitoring has been shown to help lose
weight. 3Recently,researchers studied obese individuals in otherwise good health who participated in
a 24-week weight control program where they recorded their daily dietary intake using an online
program.The findings demonstrated that people who continued to record their food intake daily for
24 weeks lost more weight compared to those who quit noting their intake. 4 In comparison,
those who recorded less than 2 times daily lost less weight.
Researchers found the more often people logged what they ate,the more weight they might
lose.They noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary
intake about three times a day,rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting.
5 Dietary self-monitoring can be performed in different ways—using an online
program,using a pencil or using smartphone applications,so it is important to find what works
for you.
A.Luckily,obesity can be treated by recording your meals.
B.It involves recording what they consume,and how much.
C.A good principle to follow may be “write when you bite”.
D.Obesity is also associated with a lower life quality and poor mental health.
E.Using an electronic system,researchers were able to see what people were doing.
F.However,not much is known about how long this takes or how often it should be done.
G.People who lost at least 10 percent of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a
day.
1.答案 D

4.答案 G
解析 根据上文“连续24周每天记录食物摄入量的人比停止记录摄入量的人减肥效果更
好”和下文“每天记录少于2次的人减重较少”可知,设空处仍然讲述的是记录摄入量的频
率和减重的关系,G选项“减掉至少10%体重的人每天记录大约3次食物摄入量”符合语境。故选G。
5.答案 C

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现饮食的量和频率对体重变化的影响更大,而与饮食
间隔时间无关,这对间歇性禁食作为减肥策略的流行趋势提出了质疑。
1.答案 finding
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,空处用非谓语动词形式,find是句中“tracks more
than 500...habit for six years”自然发生的结果,应用find的现在分词形式finding,作结果状语。故填finding。
2.答案 frequency
解析 考查名词。分析句子可知,空处和size并列,作介词by的宾语,应用frequent的名
词形式frequency,表示“(发生的)频率”,是不可数名词。故填frequency。

as,表示“当作”。故填as。
4.答案 are consumed

用名词性物主代词。故填ours。
7.答案 an
解析 考查冠词。根据句意和空后的单数可数名词impact可知,此处应用不定冠词,且
instant发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
8.答案 what
解析 考查表语从句。分析句子可知,suggests后接了省略了that的宾语从句,从句中缺少
表语,空处引导表语从句,作 is的表语,表语从句中缺少主语,指物,应用连接代词
what。故填what。
9.答案 seen
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,that引导的表语从句中主要成分完整,空处作
benefits的后置定语,且see和benefits之间为被动关系,应用see的过去分词形式seen。故
填seen。
10.答案 to lose
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处用了固定短语 expect to do sth,表示“期待做
某事”。故填to lose。

(2024·湖南邵阳期中)
Sometimes you meet people in the most unexpected places who can change your life.When
Michael Skinner,a student at the University of Notre Dame,called for an Uber after a formal
event during Junior Parents Weekend,he had no idea that the driver would leave a lasting impact
on him.As the engineering major made a friendly conversation with his driver,Doug Anderson,
the New Jersey native asked him about his family.
That’s when Anderson began telling Skinner about his 11-year-old daughter Tori who he and
his wife adopted when she was five.Tori was born with a condition that caused her to have only
half a palm and one finger on her hands.Anderson explained to his empathetic(共情的) passenger
that her hands made his daughter feel embarrassed and unhappy looking so different from her
peers.
Wanting to help their child,he and his wife spoke to doctors from several hospitals about
getting their daughter prosthetics(假肢)—only to hear that a child quickly outgrows the artificial
limbs,making them even more expensive for the parents.With the family welcoming two other children with special needs,the Andersons were extra
careful to watch their spending.The circumstances led Anderson—who’s 58—to become an Uber
driver to make some extra money that also allowed him to interact with all kinds of people.People
like Skinner,who luckily enough,was able to help his family.If there is such a thing as fate,the
pair’s meeting was a welcome chance encounter.Skinner works at e-Nable,an informal student
engineering club that 3D-prints robotic hands and they needed a child to test their creation after
enduring an ongoing lag in their projects.Tori was the perfect candidate.
After several back-and-forth meetings,Tori can write,throw a baseball,and perform many
other acts once considered impossible thanks to her new hands.Although Anderson never took the
driving job expecting an outcome as bright as this,the father feels thankful fate stepped in.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了优步司机在一次和乘客的交谈中给他的女儿
找到了安装3D打印手臂的机会。

亲的谈话了解了Tori的情况。故选B。
2.Why did Anderson become an Uber driver?
A.To kill time.
B.To gain sympathy.
C.To earn extra money.

an Uber driver to make some extra money that also allowed him to interact with all kinds of
people.”可知,Anderson成为一名优步司机是为了赚取额外的钱。故选 C。
3.Which of the following can best describe the pair’s meeting?
A.Coincidental. B.Interesting.
C.Regular. D.Scheduled.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“If there is such a thing as fate,the pair’s meeting was a
welcome chance encounter.”可推知,“巧合”最能描述两人的会面。故选A。4.What does Anderson think of the test result of 3D-printed robotic hands on his daughter?
A.Puzzled. B.Doubtful.

所用的3D打印机械手的测试结果怀有感激之情。故选D。

A study looked at the various modes of e-mobility in Germany to find e-bikes are all charged
up and leading the pack.
The most surprising finding was the number of e-bikes:18% of the respondents stated they
used an e-bike,compared to an also impressive 7% who said they use an e-car.E-bikes were
considered practical compared to regular bikes because of the reduced physical exertion and
extended range.Another benefit of e-bikes over e-cars is that they are fun.This apparently makes
them the most “attractive” form of an electric vehicle.
In North America,we often need a car to go around,but in Germany,just over half of the
e-bike users managed to do so.However,68% of these e-car users did,probably “due to the
ability to transport larger items”.
Perhaps the most interesting numbers are those for the distance travelled.E-bikes are used for
trips with a length of 15 kilometers,significantly less than the 25-kilometer trip length for the e-
cars but still a big number for a bike trip.
The study stated , “ E-bikes are already the most commonly used means of electric
transportation in Germany.”
This is good news for North America,which has fallen behind European countries in e-bike
uptake.The U.S.Office of Energy Efficiency said,“Data collected on one-way household trips
show that 59.4% of vehicle trips were less than six miles.In fact,three-fourths of all trips are ten
miles or less.”
Others tell us that the infrastructure(设施) is terrible,but cities in Texas are investing in bike
infrastructure.For the e-bike revolution to take off,we need good affordable bikes,safe places to
ride,and secure places to park.It is also apparent that we need better regulation of e-bikes to
ensure they all meet related standard to avoid battery fires like those happening in New York.
But in Germany,the overall success of e-bikes can be expected to continue both in terms of
popularity of e-bikes and in terms of total sales.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国电动交通工具的发展,电动自行车成为
德国最受欢迎的出行方式。
5.What does the underlined word “exertion” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Weight. B.Effort.
C.Contact. D.Barrier.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“E-bikes were considered practical compared to regular
bikes because of the reduced physical exertion and extended range.Another benefit of e-bikes over
e-cars is that...”可知,本段介绍了电动自行车的好处。故reduced physical exertion应理解为
节省体力消耗,由此推断画线词与effort意思相近,故选B。
6.What can we infer about North America from paragraph 6?
A.It is poorer than Europe.
B.Its residents prefer long trips.
C.Its road conditions are terrible.
D.It has the conditions to promote e-bikes.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Data collected on one-way household trips show that
59.4% of vehicle trips were less than six miles.In fact,three-fourths of all trips are ten miles or
less.”可以推断出北美有条件推广电动自行车,故选D。
7.What is the author’s attitude toward the use of e-bikes?
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Objective.
答案 A
解析 观点态度推断题。根据第二段最后三句介绍的电动自行车的好处以及最后一段讲到
“But in Germany,the overall success of e-bikes can be expected to continue both in terms of
popularity of e-bikes and in terms of total sales.”可判断作者对电动自行车的使用是持支持态
度的,故选A。
8.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.E-Bikes Still Need Improving
B.E-Bikes Are Widely Used for Trips
C.E-Bikes Are Popular in Germany
D.E-Bikes Are Coming to North America
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了德国电动交通工具的发展,电动自行车成为德国最受欢
迎的出行方式。再结合文章最后一段讲到“But in Germany,the overall success of e-bikes can
be expected to continue both in terms of popularity of e-bikes and in terms of total sales.”,故选
C。
Ⅱ.七选五I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring
out the cool hidden local spots.As a foreigner,I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things
or enjoying fancy cuisine. 1 So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun
yet represents the local culture.
My reputation for doing this has grown. 2 Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish,I
could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide.I choose not to
though,because to me,the most important thing is making sure the tourist,who already spent a
lot of time and money getting to where I am,has the fun and cultural experience they could
possibly have. 3 In that case,tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost.I
choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind,all for free.
4 When someone is visiting your area,don’t just take them to the touristy spots.Show
them the places that mean something to you.Show them your heart through the places that you
show them and the experience you give them.There’s something good in almost every town out
there.If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like,learn to find the good in the place
you live.If you find the good in where you live,you will also find the good in yourself.It’s a time
that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. 5
A.Everyone can do the same.
B.I could hardly have imagined it would happen.
C.It’s also about creating a lifelong connection with the locals we interact with.
D.What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture.
E.I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience.
F.Don’t rush the experience,thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.

in“坐落于……”是固定表达,主语是第三人称单数,故填is located。
2.答案 Nestling
解析 考查非谓语动词。nestle作非谓语动词,意为“位于”,不及物,与逻辑主语a spring
为主谓关系,应用现在分词作状语。句首的单词首字母要大写,故填Nestling。
3.答案 shaped
解析 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词为is called,shape与逻辑主语The spring之间为动
宾关系,此处应用过去分词作后置定语。故填shaped。

existence。

元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
9.答案 from
解析 考查介词。此处为动词短语save...from...,意为“避免,免得”,故填from。
10.答案 whose

中作定语,修饰名词terrain and landscape,应用关系代词whose。故填whose。

The Chain of Kindness
The rain was coming down so hard that each drop seemed to explode as it hit the roof of the
car.Tom looked out into the coal-black night,struggling desperately to keep his car on the
road.The rain beat down continuously and the road was deserted except for Tom and his car.
Tom could see his wheelchair in the backseat from the rear-view mirror and quickly looked
down at his thin,broken legs.He could feel a familiar wave of despair start to wash over
him.Suddenly,a loud noise shook him out of his moment of hopelessness as the car began to
bump down the road.“Great,” he thought,“a flat tyre.”
With a heavy sigh,Tom brought the car to a stop,resting his head on the steering wheel,
defeated! After a few seconds,he looked up and peered out of the window.In the distance,he
could see a light twinkling in the blackness.
When Tom approached the house,a young girl around ten years old was standing in the
doorway.He pulled up and rolled down the window.“Are your parents at home?” he shouted
over the wind and rain.“I have a flat tyre and I need help.”
“Wait a minute,” the girl replied and went into the house.A few minutes later,she
returned with an old man.The girl held his arm and smiled lovingly up at him.
Tom explained the problem to the old man and added,“I need help because my legs are
paralyzed.” The words came out flat.But he did not know how else he could convey the fact that
he needed help from this weak old man in the middle of the rainstorm.The old man simply nodded.
The old man and the little girl concentrated on their work and the rain was soaking them.Once
again , Tom couldn’t help but feel he was useless.Soon the old man stepped to the
window.“You’re all set,” he said.Tom handed some money to the old man,but he made nomove to take it.Finally,the young girl said,“Grandfather is blind.”
范文补全
Tom did not know what to say.He just gestured towards the girl and the old man helplessly
as he stumbled through an explanation that 1.he would like to pay them for their help(他愿意为他
们的帮助支付报酬).The old man waved a hand and said,“There is no need.2.Just be careful
about getting home and continue the chain of kindness(回家路上一定要小心,延续这善意的传
递吧).”Tom got back on to the road.The rain was now only a light mist,revealing the road
ahead.3. As he drove through the night , he found himself looking forward to the journey ahead (当
他在夜色中驾车时,他发现自己对前方的旅程充满了期待).
Inspired by the chance encounter , Tom started to see everything differently.4.He
contacted his doctor the next day to see if he could do something to increase his mobility(次日他联
系了医生,看看他是否能做些什么来提高他的活动能力).Later,he pursued his long-lost
dream of becoming a teacher and reconnected with his family.Perhaps Tom was disabled in one
way , but he decided that 5.he would not let this define who he was or what he could
accomplish(他不会让这件事来定义他是谁或他能实现什么).6. Most importantly , he began to
look forward to each new day and view it as an opportunity to help others so that he could continue
the chain of kindness(最重要的是,他开始期待崭新的每一天并且把这当作是帮助别人的机会,
这样他就可以继续把善意传递下去).
