A few athletes were already stretching 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 wouldn't be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn't disturb 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, 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.24. What was the author's wrong decision?A. Going to the gym early.B.

There was no need to feel guilty about things he disliked to do.CA new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing pollutedair can reduce a person's education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution orhumans will face a bad situation.28. What is the result of the study?A. Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.B. Females are more affected by air pollution than males.C. Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.D. People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.29. What did Chen say about the study?A. It is doubtful.B. It is extremely unfair.C. It is common and not representative.D. It is relatively objective and persuasive.30. What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?A. The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.B. The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.C. The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.D. Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.31. Where is the text most likely taken from?A. A life diary.B. A guidebook.C. A science magazine.D. A biography.DStories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?To revive （复兴）literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers （分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.“Everything old is n ew again," said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire theircreativity.Here's how a dispenser works： It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whoseworks have been evaluated by Short Edition's judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children's fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people happy," said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition, “There is too much unhappiness today. ”32. What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?A. They are expensive.B. They are short in form.C. They can be read on smartphones.D. They are mainly taken from magazine literature.33. Where can you find the popularity of story dispensers in America?A. In paragraph 3.B. In paragraph 4.C. In paragraph 5.D. In paragraph 6.34. Which is the main purpose of setting up the dispensers according to Andrew Nurkin?A. To get rid of people's smartphone addiction.B. To reduce the financial stress of libraries.C. To make people have access to literature.D. To advertise the network literature.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: a Virtual TourB. Short Edition, a French PublisherC. Everything Old Will Be Popular AgainD. Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button七选五（福建省厦门外国语学校2020届高三12月月考）It is sometimes thought that the longing for material goods, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention. 36 Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes（斧子）. 38 Finally, both groups of "producers", by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surprising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way.In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes（染料）have been found in an area where none were produced. 39 Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also found at the same place. The earliest jewellery known to us was not just random findings—they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today. 40 However, their modern equivalents—fast cars and expensive clothes—hold the same attraction for us as "trade goods" did for people 100,000 years ago.A．And we don't need shops or money to do it.B．These are powerful proofs for cash purchase.C．In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity.D．However, the first trade began from the exchange of objects.E．Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces.F．It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away. G．Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.参考答案完形填空36-40 BABDA 41-45ADACD 46-50DBBCB 51-55DCBCD阅读理解21 -23 BDC 24 -27 CDAB 28 -31 ADBC 32-35 BACD七选五36-40 CAGFE。
