第五周热考话题集训——文娱与体育阅读理解ARoberto Clemente was born in Puerto Rico. When he was eight years old, he started working on a sugar farm. Clemente worked many hours. But he always found time to play baseball. Even when there were no games, Clemente would throw whatever he could find —a bottle top or an old shoe.Years of practice made Clemente a skilled player. When he was 18 years old, he became a professional baseball player. In 1954, the Pittsburgh Pirates asked Clemente to play for their team. However, playing for the Pirates was not easy at first. Many of the other players treated Clemente poorly. Most of the players were white, and Clemente was a black. But his attitude and skill helped him bee the leader of the team.In 1971, Clemente's team peted in the final game of the Baseball World Series. By this time, Clemente was one of the oldest players on the team. However, he was also still one of the best. Clemente had been hurt all season. But he believed in his skill and in his team. He promised his team that they would win. Clemente kept his promise and the Pirates won the World Series.After the World Series, Clemente became famous for more than just his baseball skills.On December 23,1972, there was a big earthquake in Nicaragua. Clemente decided to go to Nicaragua himself and give supplies to people there. But Clemente never had a chance to do so. On December 31,1972, his airplane crashed over the ocean. Clemente was only 38 years old.In his life, Roberto Clemente cared about many things. He loved baseball. He loved his country. And he loved helping other people. Clemente gave his life serving others. He died as a hero. One of his friends said, “If he had died as a baseball player, only people who love sports would remember him. But he died helping other people. And now people will remember him as someone who used his life to help others.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

新高考高三英语时文阅读精选（含答案解析）AClimate protection and public health have striking similarities. The benefits of both can be enjoyed by everyone, even by individuals who do not contribute to the collective efforts to address these problems. If climate change slows down, both drivers of gas-guzzlers and electric cars will benefit — although the former did not help in climate efforts. Similarly, if the spread of Coronavirus is halted, individuals who refused to wash their hands, as well as the ones who washed them assiduously, will enjoy the restored normal life.Most countries have gotten their acts together, although behind time, on Coronavirus. Citizens also seem to be following the advice of public health officials. Could then the Coronavirus policy model be applied to climate change? We urge caution because these crises are different, which means that policies that worked well for Coronavirus might not be effective for climate change.Climate change is the defining crisis of our times. Floods, hurricanes, forest fires, and extreme weather events have become more frequent and severe over the years. Although climate change generates passionate discussions in big cities and university campuses, there is inadequate public call for immediate action. Some types of decarbonization policies are certainly in place. However, carbon-intensive lifestyles continue. This policy lethargy (无精打采) and behavioral inertia (惰性) are due to many reasons, including concerted opposition by the fossil fuel industry to deep decarbonization. But there are other reasons as well. Climate change is cumulative and does not have a quick onset. Its effects are not always immediate and visible. Many individuals probably do not see a clear link between their actions and the eventual outcome. This reduces the willingness to alter lifestyles and tolerate personal sacrifices for the collective good.In contrast, Coronavirus is forcing an immediate policy response and behavioral changes. Its causality is clear and its onset quick. Lives are at stake, especially in western countries. The stock markets are tanking, and the economy is heading towards a recession. Politicians recognize that waffling can lead to massive consequences, even in the short-term. Corona-skeptic President Trump has reversed course and declared a national emergency.1. What does the writer think climate protection and public health have in common?A. They can’t be influenced by what people do.B. They only benefit those who contribute to them.C. They usually punish those who do harm to them.D. They offer benefits to everyone whatever people do.2. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “assiduously”?A. Attentively.B. Absolutely.C. Abundantly.D. Alternatively.3. Why are people unwilling to change their carbon-intensive lifestyles?A. Because they think the climate is none of their business.B. Because they think what they do has no effect on the climate.C. Because they can’t see the quick result from what they do to the climate.D. Because they don’t clearly know how their lifestyles influence the climate.4. Which of the following does the author disagree with?A. President Trump had a skeptic attitude to coronavirus at first.B. Compared with climate change, coronavirus has a quick result.C. People are willing to change their lifestyles because of coronavirus.D. Many countries have responded to coronavirus quickly and effectively.BRobots, Not Humans, Are the New Space Explorers “Since the days of Apollo, the greatest adventures in space have been these robots that have gone all over the solar system,” says Emily Lakdawalla, a self-described planetary evangelist①at the Planetary Society.By “these robots,” Lakdawalla means the various robotic probes that have flown past planets, moons and asteroids②— orbiting③some, landing on others.Millions of people around the world have watched with delight as the six-wheeled rovers④have trundled across the Martian surface, snapping pictures and taking selfies.At Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., Matthew Shindell says visitors make a point of coming to the planetary exhibit in a gallery tucked into the west end of the museum.Shindell is the museum’s planetary science curator⑤. A prominent⑥feature of the gallery is a large glass case containing versions⑦of all the rovers that NASA has sent to Mars, from the tiny Sojourner rover that landed in 1997 to the 2,000-pound Curiosity rover that arrived in 2012.“People love to come and see the rovers and really get a sense of what they look like up close and their actual scale,” Shindell says.Mars has a mystique all its own, so perhaps it’s not surprising that people find exploring the red planet enticing. But the New Horizons fly-by of Pluto, the Messengerclose encounter with Mercury, and Juno’s buzzing⑧over Jupiter's poles all have generated great public interest.Elkins-Tanton says she and her team are inviting the public to explore Psyche with them.“We’re going to be sending the images that we get out onto the Internet for everyone in the world to see within a half-hour of our receiving them,”she says. “So everyone in the world is going to see this crazy world at the same time and we can all scratch our heads together.”This idea of sharing the experience of space missions is something NASA has embraced. Lakdawalla says the public has been able to see the passion and commitment of the scientists who work on these robotic explorers.“Now you recognize that robotic exploration is human exploration,” she says. “It's just that the humans are back on Earth and the robots are going where humans can’t currently go.”CIn reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, some schools and education institutions are rushing to move their classes and programs online. It’s not going to go well. It’s already not going well. But in the end, in a year or two maybe, the online education adventure we’re watching may be worth the pain, but not in the way you may imagine.We probably should not look sideways at schools that are trying to keep their programs running by turning to online options. It can easily seem like the best of the bad options. But it started badly. As college Presidents, Boards, Superintendents and others were wrestling with these awful choices, they were flooded with solicitations from profit-seeking companies offering to move them online. It was unseemly — like the fire department calling you in the middle of a house fire to offer assistance, for a reasonable fee.That’s not to say all the companies that sell online education platforms and services are behaving that way. But we can say that many of them viewed this crisis as an outstanding business opportunity. So, just in case any education leaders didn’t know how these companies behaved, more do now. That’s good. It’s a taste that will likely linger. The other thing that’s happening is that, for the schools that are attempting to migrate online, they are learning what that means. Theirteachers and students are too.Conversations are already dripping with regret and shocked awareness of how poor the quality of online education is, how implausible it is to actually make work. On social media, teachers have been surprised by the lack of control, lack of engagement, lack of accountability in virtual classrooms. “Zoom University” has been trending on Twitter. It even has a logo, which is not a compliment.1. What is the real intention for companies to offer online service?A. To make money in the coronavirus pandemic.B. To prepare for the online learning in the future.C. To help students with study in the coronavirus pandemic.D. To help schools move class online in the coronavirus pandemic.2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “implausible”?A. Irresistible.B. Impossible.C. Irregular.D. Immoral.3. What’s the attitude of the author towards “Zoom University”?A. Optimistic.B. Critical.C. Neutral.D. Indifferent.4. The purpose of this passage is to show that_______.A. the coronavirus influences education very seriouslyB. schools have to offer online education because of the coronavirusC. online education should be cancelled because of its poor qualityD. online education is poor since companies just want to make moneyDWith Cats or Dogs Can ‘Significantly’ Reduce StressCollege is stressful. Students have classes, papers, and exams. But they also often have work, bills to pay, and so many other pressures common in modern life.Many universities have instituted “Pet Your Stress Away” programs, where students can come in and interact with cats and/or dogs to help alleviate①some of the strain.Scientists at Washington State University have recently demonstrated that, in addition to improving students’ moods, these programs can actually get “under the skin” and have stress-relieving physiological benefits.“Just 10 minutes can have a significant impact,” said Patricia Pendry, an associate professorin WSU’s Department of Human Development. “Students in our study that interacted with cats and dogs had a significant reduction in cortisol②, a major stress hormone.”Pendry published these findings with WSU graduate student Jaymie Vandagriff last month in AERA Open, an open access journal published by the American Educational Research Association.This is the first study that has demonstrated reductions in students’ cortisol levels during a real‑life intervention rather than in a laboratory setting.The study involved 249 college students randomly③divided into four groups. The first group received hands on interaction in small groups with cats and dogs for 10 minutes. They could pet, play with, and generally hang out with the animals as they wanted.To compare effects of different exposures to animals, the second group observed other people petting animals while they waited in line for their turn. The third group watched a slide-show of the same animals available during the intervention④, while the fourth group was “waitlisted”. Those students waited for their turn quietly for 10 minutes without their phones, reading materials, or other stimuli, but were told they would experience animal interaction soon.Several salivary cortisol samples were collected from each participant, starting in the morning when they woke up. Once all the data was crunched⑤from the various samples, the students who interacted directly with the pets showed significantly less cortisol in their saliva⑥after the interaction. These results were found even while considering that some students may have had very high or low levels to begin with.“We already knew that students enjoy interacting with animals, and that it helps them experience more positive emotions,” Pendry said. “What we wanted to learn was whether this exposure would help students reduce their stress in a less subjective way. And it did, which is exciting because the reduction of stress hormones may, over time, have significant benefits for physical and mental health.”Now Pendry and her team are continuing this work by examining the impact of a four-week-long animal-assisted stress prevention program. Preliminary results are very positive, with a followup study showing that the findings of the recently published work hold up. They hope to publish the final results of that work in the near future.EThese days many workers feel pushed, filed, indexed and numbered. When they apply for a job, they may be assessed by artificial intelligence, which parses resumes for key words without which an applicant’s odds of an interview lengthen. Based on works like “Evidence-Based Recruiting” by Atta Tarki, who claims that scores in general-mental-ability tests have a strong 65% correlation with job performance, firms may ask candidates to take an intelligence test.When they get a job, employees find the indexing and numbering continues. Workers at warehouses have to pick a certain number of items per hour; those at call-centers are assessed by software that monitors their hourly number of calls, and the amount of time spent on each one. Fall behind the target and you may feel unable to take a break. When their task is completed, employees are often rated again, this time by the customers.Manufacturing workers have long faced these kind of numerical targets, as well as the need to clock in and out of work. The big change is that similar metrics and rating systems are spreading to more and more parts of the economy. Academics get rated by students; nurses may be judged on a “behaviorally anchored rating scale” which assesses how much empathy they showed to patients.Ratings are at the heart of the gig economy, where workers are connected with employers and customers via the internet. Just as TripAdvisor ratings allow holidaymakers to assess hotels, Uber drivers get a score out of five.Such systems are understandable in parts of the economy where output is difficult to measure precisely. But they can be arbitrary. People might give an Uber driver a poor rating because they are in a bad mood or because they encountered unexpected traffic disruption.Gianpiero Petriglieri of the INSEAD business school says that, since firms no longer offer jobs for life, everyone is an independent worker whether they like it or not. The key passage in your CV may not be the universities you attended, but your rating in categories like teamwork, innovation and adaptability.1. Why are employees asked to have a test?A. Its result has relation with their working performance.B. Boss wants to get an understanding of their personality further.C. Its result shows if they can bear the pressure of assessment.D. It is a part of recruiting process.2. Which industry uses the numerical rating system earlier than other industries?A. Service industry.B. Education industry.C. Manufacture industry.D. Agriculture industry.3. What does Gianpiero Petriglieri mean in the last paragraph?A. Employees are interrelated since they work in the same company.B. People should focus on their education background in the resumes.C. Rating system might be misused in some occasions.D. Your performance in rating system should be highlighted.4. Where is this article mostly likely from?A. A newspaper.B. A novel.C. A science fiction.D. A research paper.A【答案】1-4 DACD【解析】本文是说明文。

A字数： 293Some Texans are trying to relieve the loneliness and isolation that many elderly Americans are feeling during the coronavirus pandemic by creating safe "hugging booths."Amber Crenshaw and her husband Steve Crenshaw own a business called Handle With Care and work with Unlimited Care Cottages, an assisted living facility. Amber said she and her husband designed and built the hugging booths after one of the nurses suggested the idea."The residents have been, just so filled with joy," Amber said. "It was one of our resident's birthdays. We were able to set the booth up for their birthday, and family members were able to come in and give birthday hugs. It has really lifted the spirits of the assisted living residents."Buck Buckholtz, the owner of Unlimited Care Cottages, where the hugging booths have been used, said that the families were also excited.He said, "The families, there was a pretty quick response of, 'When can you bring it to this house? When can you bring it to this house? When are we going to have one?"Amber said that she and her husband designed it to fit into a standard door without gaps, and built it with materials that coronavirus cannot transmit through, allowing family members to hug each other safely."Just the power of touch is so important because it's been since March since these family members and the residents at the homes have been able to touch and hug," she said. "Through this, we've been able to create an opportunity for them to reach out and have a touch. It's huge, it brings lots of joy."The Crenshaws have just worked with Unlimited Care so far, but they said other assisted living facilities in Texas have contacted them with interest.1.

This reinforces the message that we should aim to maximise our positive emotions and avoid our negative ones' Society needs to change its attitude on depression if the disorder is to be tackled effectively, Dr. Bastian hinted.He added that people have become so used to not showing signs of vulnerability脆弱due to social media being used to celebrate achievements.For the study published in the journal Depression and Anxiety, the researchers assessed 112 depressed patients. Each volunteer was asked to rate their symptoms of the blues and how much pressure they faced to be happy. They were tracked over a period of one month.4. From the text we know that ____ .A.

The handful of guests watched in awe —and a little trepidation惊恐— as the majestic animal, who appeared to be searching for a tasty morsel, calmly explored the various areas of the restaurant. Fortunately for the humans, nothing on the “menu” seemed to catch the leopard’s fancy, and it left as abruptly as it had arrived.Erika Wiese, who captured the footage of the leopard walking through the restaurant, told Kruger Sightings that she and the other guests were alerted to the predator’s arrival by the alarm calls sounded by surrounding vervet monkeys. Also known as savanna monkeys, the smart mammals communicate the presence of each of their four-known predators — leopards, eagles, baboons, and pythons — with a unique call, allowing other members oftheir species to respond accordingly. For example, the short tonal call signaling a leopard is nearby cause the monkeys to scramble into trees, while the low-pitched grunts, indicating the presence of eagles, warns them to keep an eye on the skies.The leopard, however, was not interested in the monkeys, but instead appeared to be in search of a bushbuck, or African antelope, that it had been stalking in a nearby riverbed earlier in the day. Wiese says, “The sighting ended with the leopard strolling calmly away from the deck area and out of sight towards the bushbuck who you can hear alarm calling at the end.”Wiese says that thanks to the lodge’s well-trained staff, who are experienced at dealing with wild animal visits, and the strict safety rules in place, the guests all remained calm. She gushes, “We felt complete awe, reverence, respect, and gratitude. What a rare experience to have such an encounter with a leopard. The situation proved that wildlife and people can live and interact with each other in harmony and respect.”Located adjacent to Kruger National Park in South Africa, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is home to a wide variety of animals, including over 144 mammal, 500 bird, 30 amphibian, and 110 reptile species. However, the area’s main attraction is the presence of the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos — which roam the game park in abundance.7. What is the general idea of the text?A. Wildlife and people can live and interact with each other in harmony and respect.B. Savanna monkeys can communicate the presence of each of their four-known predators.C. Guests at south African Lodge get a surprise visit from a leopard.D. The lodge’s well-trained staff are experienced at dealing with wild animal visits.8. Which of the following is NOT right?A. Visitors at the Singita Ebony Lodge often encounter with a leopard.B. The leopard was not interested in the monkeys.C. The leopard was seen walking calmly away from the deck area towards the bushbuckD. Kruger National Park is close to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.9. What did the leopard come here for ?A. To explore the various areas of the restaurant.B. To be in search of a bushbuck, or African antelopeC. To prove that wildlife and people can live and interact with each other in harmony and respectD. To search for those monkeys.10. How did Erika Wiese and the other guests know that a predator was coming?A. They saw it themselves.B. By the low-pitched grunts sounded by surrounding vervet monkeysC. Erika Wiese captured the leopard at the restaurant.D. By the alarm calls sounded by surrounding savanna monkeys11. The underlined word in the second paragraph refers to______ .A. monkeyB. leopardC. bushbuckD. baboonD字数：316If businesses are to get reluctant workers back into the office, finding ways to maintain social distancing will be key. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors mounted on workplace ceilings.PointGrab developed its technology before the pandemic to help workspace managers optimize优化how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.One of the company's first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year. PointGrab's sensors were connected to screens in the building toshow the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrabCEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helpedDeloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can alsomonitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are,and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building.Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closerthan two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.The sensors have been included in the "six feet office" concept created by real estate房地产services company Cushman and Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10,000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-Cola, Facebook and Dell.Workers might not like the idea of being monitored, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous无名的dot on a dashboard."The sensor does not violate people's privacy," Shachar says. "This is extremely important in the workspace."12.When did PointGrab develop the technology?A. during novel coronavirusB. soon after novel coronavirus broke outC. before novel coronavirus broke outD. last year13.

Passage 1（2018年·北京卷）体裁话题词数难度建议时间说明文己第一次跑马拉松 338 ★★☆☆☆5分钟My First Marathon（马拉松）A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal.

We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the "little man" win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (星光大道). Today's cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's? 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

Presenting the trophy to the winners, he gave the youngsters some simple advice: "Love the game, enjoy the game, and play the game."(Michael Jordan celebrates with the winning team fromShenyang No 31 Middle School. XINHUA)Shenyang No 31 Middle School tastedvictory in the tournament（锦标赛）last year.But this year's 62-54 victory over Shanghai Nanyang Model Middle School had an added sweetness: the players received the champion's cup from Jordan himself."I was very excited taking the trophy（奖杯）from him," said Li Yuzhang, who won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. "I'm lucky to have been able to hold the cup after it was touched by Jordan."Another player said: "We have been waiting for this day for almost a month. We trained very hard because we knew we would get to celebrate our victory with Michael Jordan."With cameras flashing around them, the players couldn't hide their excitement as they stepped onto the podium（领奖台）alongside their hero. Li and team captain Feng Wenxu were also lucky enough to have Jordan sign their jerseys（运动衫）."I will keep this precious jersey for the rest of my life," said Feng.The 5,000-strong audience of young students was also stirred up (鼓动) by the appearance of one of basketball's greatest-ever players. Play was even delayed a little while, such was the excitement when he arrived during the fourth quarter of the match."I'm here to see Jordan," said a girl from nearby Huiwen Middle School. "It's a pity we can't see him playing, but a glimpse（一瞥、一看）of him today is enough."It was the NBA legend's first formal visit to China.

What came next was even more surprising. Last Tuesday Sonia Gandhi turned down both the chance to be the prime minister and take her famous family back to the top of India's political pile.Her decision came as investors lost confidence in her economic policies, and Hindu nationalists attacked her over her Italian birth. Manmohan Singh, a71-year-old economist, took the premiership instead.(Sonia Gandhi.AFP)"The post of prime minister has not been myaim," she told newly elected members of Parliament（议会）. "My responsibility（责任）is to provide Indiawith a government that is strong and stable (稳定)."Sonia Gandhi, 57, will remain president of thelargest party in the coalition government (联合政府)so still have an influence on policy.

She is also the daughter-in-law of another prime minister, Indira Gandhi. While her husband Rajiv Gandhi served from 1984 to 1988."She was pushed into this whole game - just like her husband," said Rajiv Desai, an advisor to the Gandhis. Neither Rajiv nor Sonia Gandhi had much interest inpolitics. But he felt called by a family responsibility after his mother was murdered by her guards in 1984. In a similar way, his wife felt she had to rescue the struggling Congress Party 14 years later.However, the success of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has come at a heavy price. Seven years after the murder of his mother, Rajiv Gandhi was killed by Sri Lankan terrorists（恐怖分子）.It has been said that Sonia Ghandi's children, Rahul and Priyanka, asked her not to take the post because they feared losing their mother as well.Despite her decision, the election saw the Gandhi dynasty brought back to life.

话题练习-文娱与体育一、阅读理解（共7小题；共14.0分）AMany people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them. I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isn't a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day.I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it's just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them. It's never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. That's why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don't get down. They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they don't shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you.Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we can't let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.1. The underlined phrase “get onto you” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. point out your mistakesB. take up your timeC. worry about your futureD. look into your privacy2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talentB. Sports give us the best way of spending free timeC. We can get more out of winning than losingD. We should take pleasure in doing sports3. What is the best title of this passage?A. Are we too caught up?B. To win or to gain?C. Are sports really great?D. For honor or for health?BIce Age 3—Dawn of the DinosaursMain Characters (主要角色):Manny—a wooly mammoth(猛犸)Ellie—Manny's wife, a mammoth tooSid—Manny's friend, a sloth(树獭)Scene 1Manny: It's coming!

That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball (化妆舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no ways to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking into pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is Written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club -women, or people of a different color or belief--they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are“really,really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with intelligence, creativity, perseverance(X JJ), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."1. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.2. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs3. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and Luck主题二——时事热点C( 2020届湖北省武汉市高三调研)It's at this time of the year that marathon recovery , not marathon training, starts to take center stage.Research indicates that the muscle damage from running a marathon can last up to two weeks. The research also indicates that muscle soreness (肌肉酸痛) is not a good indicator of muscular healing. In other words, just because you aren't sore anymore doesn't mean that you are fully healed. This is the danger for marathon runners: post-marathon muscular soreness fades after a few days but minor damage within the muscle cells remains. If you return to full training too soon---running more and faster than the tissue is ready for- you risk delaying full recovery and the chance to get ready for your next goal.The solution, it appears, is to recognize ( and accept) that the muscles will take a while to heal and to be prepared to take it easy for the first couple of weeks ( even longer if you're particularly sore after your marathon). While the research isn't very promising when it comes to things to do to reduce soreness and aid healing, a couple of concepts appear to help. First, providing gentle blood flow to the areahelps bring healing nutrients into the muscles and also helps to remove waste products and damaged tissue. Walking and gentle massage ( 按摩) can help, particularly in the first few days after a marathon. Once muscle soreness has significantly reduced ( usually two to four days after the race), light jogging can commence. Just be mindful of running very slowly.No runner wants to get super fit and then lose that during the recovery process. But since you must reduce your training load following your marathon, it can be difficult as to how much and how soon to insert running into your post -marathon training.5. When should marathon runners return to full training?A. About half a month after the competition.B. A few days after soreness disappears.C. Before the tissue recovers completely.D. Before the next game draws closer.6. How can marathon runners reduce their muscle soreness?A. Through family care.B. By doing gentle exercise.C. Through medical treatment.D. By removing damaged tissue.7. Which of the following best explains . commence " underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Fit.B. Heal.C. Start.D. Mend.8. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Recovery After MarathonB. Soreness With SportsC. Healing Muscle SorenessD. Reducing Training LoadD（2021 衡水中学高三模拟）Lloyd Black decided to join the Anytime Fitness gym in Semmes, Alabama last year after he found himself struggling to accomplish simple household tasks.

Now,however, things are quite different.____2___ Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife's work on divorce is actually as much as its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage.But what is on the contrary is equally reasonable._____3___ Given high unemployment and slow growth in real earnings, a working wife can relieve so me of the household urgent financial burdens, thus strengthening her family's financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. ____4____ on the other hand, if she can find fulfillment or self-satisfaction through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Another fact contributes to women's inequality in marriage lies in the fact that in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. With higher earning capacity outside of the home comes the capacity to exercise power within the family. _____6___In conclusion, whatever is said, the impact of the growing female workforce on marriage actually varies from case to case, a stronger equal partnership or some new insecurities.A. The opposite of this concern could encourage marriages.B. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce.C. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house.D. Many women, according to this assumption, would rather work than marryE. As the economy rebounds, the number of marriages also rise.F. The increase in divorce rates is due to the increase in female workforce.G. Tensions caused by financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage.【答案】A篇【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。

作者却在一次意外的经历中体会到绕行的魅力。

Charm of the DetourPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. ①But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. ②We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.z.xxkI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.绕行的魅力诗人威廉·斯塔福德曾经说过，我们更多地是被人生中的绕行路所定义而不是通往目标的那条狭窄的小径。

Many movies of this kind have been well-received when they were first shown, but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity・ The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people.The Longest DayAn all-star cast recreates D-Day and the Normandy attack, the greatest landing and aerial（空中的）invasion in history. This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film.Apocalypse NowThis is a famous war movie because of its description of the Vietnam War and excellent performance from Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall. The film, full of memorable scenes and quotes, is widely viewed as a masterpiece of movie making.The Dirty DozenLee Marvin, playing an officer who thinks and acts independently, is appointed to train twelve prisoners, most of whom have been sentenced to death, to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals.

In his latest book, Inside Sport Psychology, he claims that listening to music while running can raise performance by up to 15% .If this is true, then the RockhRoll marathon series is on to something.The events, existing in the US for almost 15 years, are extremely popular, with 450,000 people running in one of its 2012 races alone. Many other big city races have the occasional band along the route, and London has had the Run to the Beat half-marathon, lined with DJs, for the past five years. But on 15 April the UK finally got its first taste of the action, with the original Edinburgh Rock'nRollhalf-marathon.As I lined up at the start with almost 4,000 other runners, we were broadcast by Edinburgh s Got Talent winner Caitlyn Vanbeck. With Arthur's Seat towering above us, it was exciting, and may explain why I shot off at the front. After spending six months training in Kenya last year, I have become something of a serious runner, and finished eighth. This is important because, according to Karageorghis, the benefits of listening to music decrease with the level ofintensity（强度）of the running. The faster you run, he explains, the less effect the music has.It is true. Apart from Vanbeck1 s rousi ng Flower of Scotia nd at the start, when I was stan ding still, afterwards I can barely remember the music played along the course・ The first act I passed, folk group the Deadly Winters, made me smile, and at one point I found myself running in synchronicity（同步）with the beat of a heavy-rock com bo. But they were moments that came and went in a flash. I can't say they helped my performance very much. But what did other runners make of it? Of course, the music was not only there to help runners to break their personal bests （although sadly it was unable to help me beatmine）, but to provide a sense of occasion, draw out the crowds and create a carnival atmosphere.9.What does Dr. Karageorghis think of Rock'n'Roll marathon series?A.It's useless to improve the running results・B.It's profitable to the music producer.C.It's popular with the athletes.D.It's effective to improve the running results・10.Which might be the newcomer of the RockhRoll half-marathon?A.The capital of Scotland.B.

Joggers have been found to live an average of six years longer than those who don't jog. However, yoifll have to run for at least one hour a week for benefit, according to a new study in Denmark. Researchers found that jogging was associated with a 44 per cent reduction in the relative risk of death for those over 35 years compared with deaths among those who did not run・The same benefit applied to both men and women. The 44 per cent reduction translates to an 1age-adjusted survival benefit" of 6.2 years in men and 5.6 years in women, according to Dr. Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist from the Copenhagen City Heart study.''Furthermore, the joggefs lives are not only longer but happier too as those who ran reported an overall sense of well-being/' said Schnohr・"The results of our research allow us to definitively answer the question of whether jogging is good for your health/1 Schnohr said in a statement・"We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity.

Week Six 文娱体育一、阅读理解（共17小题；共34.0分）AHip-hop music is popular around the world among young people who love its rhythms. Its artists spread messages of peace, hope and happiness. Often, their songs teach young people about human rights and fighting for their freedoms so they can have a better future. It is possible that every country has at least one or two socially conscious hip-hop singers or groups.DAM is known as the first Palestinian group to sing hip-hop. The group's music is influenced by social issues. In an interview they said that whatever they see, they write about it. They also sing about issues such as violence linked to illegal drugs and women's rights. DAM hopes to teach young children not to be influenced by other people, but to learn on their own what is right and what is wrong. Children sing with them on the song Ng'Ayer Bukra, which means "Change Tomorrow". The children express that they want education and the ability to change tomorrow.In Brazil, artists use hip-hop to express social problems. In Sao Paulo, one of the oldest hip-hop groups is Racionais MC's. Many of their songs are about people living in poor areas called Favelas. In 1992 they cooperated with Brazil's Ministry of Education. They visited schools to teach people about life in the favelas. They have also used their music to earn money for health clinics, youth sport programs and schools.In Rio de Janeiro, a famous hip-hop artist called Marcelo D2 once lived in a favela. However, when he turned thirteen he left the area to find work. His first productions in hip-hop were in 1995 in a group called Planet Hemp. Three years later he left the group and produced his own music. His hip-hop music was different from the one performed before as he mixed it with the Brazilian music called samba. Because of that, he became famous. His songs are about his life experiences. Marcelo D2 has performed with famous American hip-hop artists such aswill.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.1.

One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. "Is 77 too old to learn the banjo(班卓琴)?" he asked."You can learn to play it well," I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructor's schedule and gave the rates, the available 有效的) time and the additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn't arrive one Tuesday.The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. "Carl's in hospital," the voice recorded.Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. "This is for Carl's banjo teacher," she said. "I'm his wife, Mary.""Why did Carl want to play the banjo?" I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, 'You want to see this up close?' Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo." Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to me.

The Jamaican, who retained both titles as well as the 4x100m in London, said he has decided against switching to either the 400m or long jump."To do the three sprints, that is the focus. I don't want to try any different events at Rio," he said. "I will just defend my titles to show the world there's a possibility I can do it again." The 26-year-old insisted he has no intention of easing off in his training.Bolt, who also holds the 100m and 200m world records, said he aimed to run even faster in the year of 2021, during which the World Championships will be held in Moscow. He added, "It's all about hard work. When I was doing great when I was young, people used to say I was fast for my age, but I have put a lot of work into it since I was a senior athlete.

They need to take a rest sometimes.Hiromi MaruyamaI think if the teenager wants to take part in the Olympics, to practice many hours each day is not bad. Watching the Olympics on TV, I feel like taking part in the Olympics. Then I am willing to make that kind of sacrifice.
