小孩特別喜歡跑,但是我們這個年齡好像已丟了跑步的樂趣。跑步有很多好處,不但對身體有好處,而且不需要昂貴的設(shè)備。本文介紹了跑步的一些注意事項。
【1】句意:它能幫助控制體重,而且能夠延緩年齡的影響。
improves改善;increases增加;delays延緩;changes改變。and連接兩個并列的句子,兩句均為說明這種鍛煉的好處。the effects of aging意為“衰老的影響”,衰老的影響只能用延緩。故選C。
【2】句意:跑步除了這些與健康有關(guān)的好處外,還有一些其他好處。
enjoyment樂趣;health健康;energy能量;wealth財富。從It helps with weight control…It reduces the risk of heart disease.以上幾句說明的都是跑步對健康的好處?蘸蠼榻B除了健康意外的好處。故選B。
【3】句意:當你感覺不是很好的時候,開始運動是特別不明智的。
special特殊的;fair公平的;dangerous危險的;wise明智的。根據(jù)He or she will let you know if you're healthy enough to begin a new exercise routine.可知足夠健康的時候才能進行訓(xùn)練。因此可推斷健康有問題的時候是不應(yīng)該運動的,因此wise符合句意。故選D。
【4】句意:找一個跑步的伙伴。
neighbour鄰居;assistant助理;passenger乘客;partner伙伴。根據(jù)后文On days that you don't feel like exercising, he or she can help encourage you.可知,當你不想鍛煉的時候有人鼓勵你。故選D。
【5】句意:……為了能被輕易的看到,穿明亮的衣服。
tight緊的;thick厚的;bright明亮的;clean干凈的。根據(jù)…in order to be seen easily.可知能夠被輕易地看見,所以應(yīng)該是穿明亮的衣服。故選C。
【6】句意:這是一種很好的方式,體驗跑步的快樂的同時能夠給窮人幫助。
for為了;while與……同時;if如果;though盡管。根據(jù)后面動詞用ing 形式,可判斷用while表示“與……同時”。故選B。
完形填空題并不是單純考查語法,也是考查學(xué)生綜合運用語言的能力。因此,必須選擇符合語法結(jié)構(gòu)并能使上下文意義連貫的答案。如5小題,根據(jù)下文…in order to be seen easily.可知能夠被輕易地看見,所以應(yīng)該是穿明亮的衣服。有時候設(shè)置的選項具有迷惑性,如果單從語法角度分析,每個選項都是正確的,但是通過語境判斷,只有一個選項能夠傳達文章意思。因此我們要回顧上文,兼顧下文,在文中尋找相關(guān)的線索或提示,從而確定答案。注意固定搭配,例如4小題,根據(jù)下文可以在你不想跑步的時候提醒你的應(yīng)該是一起跑步的伙伴。

【題目】Human, Don’t Come too Close
Frequent touching from humans may change plants’ genes and slow their growth. |
When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “l(fā)ike” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.
Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.
They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (線粒體) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (細胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.
If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”
Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.
According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.
【1】Why did the scientists do the experiment?
A. To test if touching can change the genes of plants.
B. To show that plants’ and animals’ genes are different.
C. To tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.
D. To find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.
【2】What did the scientists find in their experiment?
A. Repeated touching shortened the plants’ life by four weeks.
B. Touching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.
C. Repeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.
D. Mitochondria in the plants couldn’t produce energy because of touching.
【3】What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?
A. The plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.
B. The plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.
C. The plants will be less sensitive to being touched.
D. The plants will be better at fighting dangers.

【題目】
I have a problem. Her name is Luca. We do not see eye to eye.
Like yesterday, we saw the number 9, 999. She said, “All lose nines. They feel so... so purple!”
Purple? I saw it as logical and orderly. Not as colours. I think Luca and I live in different universes.
But we have to do a report on the Statue of liberty. I really doubt if I can work with her.
At our first meeting on Friday, we come up with a plan. She will make a Statue of Liberty, and I’ll write the report. But on Monday, with only one week until our report is due, she tells me she’s leaving to visit her great-grandfather for six days, because he’s ill. It means that I, the one who can’t even draw a stick figure, will have to make the statue. And she the one who doesn’t like to think logically, will have to write the report.
“Please be at my house at 2:00 on Sunday,” I say I cross my fingers.
While she’s gone, I spend lots of hours making the sculpture according to some directions I find online.
Sunday at 2:00 arrives, and Luca is late. Finally, I see her skipping down the sideway, carrying only a small piece of equipment
“What’s that?” I ask. “Where’s the report?”
“It’s a digital recorder,” she says. “A report didn’t feel right, so I did something else.”
I try to keep my voice calm as I say, “But this is not about feelings. It’s about the Statue of Liberty. Statues don’t have feelings.” Our project is due tomorrow. We’re doomed.
“Statues don’t have feelings, but my great-grandfather does.” Luca says.
Now I am quite sure that we’re from two different universes because I have no idea about what she’s talking about.
“I interviewed him about when he came to America and saw the Statue of Liberty,” she continues. “Listen.” She turns on the recording.
A scratchy voice comes on. “In Hungary, I had no food and hoped to go to America, where I could eat, have a better life. Finally I got on the ship. Then the sunshine started. Oh! There she was. Lady Liberty Like hope itself. All of us cried. All my life, I remember that feeling of seeing the lady.”
Looking at Luca. I think a while. “You are right That’s what the Statue of liberty is all about. Who says a report has to be on paper? I say quietly. And a smile spreads over her face.
Can you imagine what happens while we are making the presentation the next day? When Luca’s great-grandfather says “All my life. I remember that feeling, of seeing the Lady.” everyone is staring at our statue, quiet.
【1】The idiom “see eye to eye” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.like each otherB.have good eyesight
C.want to see each otherD.share the same viewpoint
【2】What can we know about Luca from the passages?
A.She doesn’t like writing reports.
B.She is not a very friendly person.
C.She has her own ideas about the report.
D.She visits her great-grandfather to interview him.
【3】What does everyone think of their presentation?
A.Boring.B.Relaxing.C.EmbarrassingD.Moving.
