课时作业29 The Great Sports PersonalityⅠ.阅读理解AA Portland, Oregon man, Colin O'Brady, has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance.O'Brady completed the 1,500kilometer trip on Wednesday. He crossed the continent in 54 days. Friends, family and other people followed his progress through messages and pictures he left on social media. The 33yearold O'Brady documented the trip on the social networking service.He wrote Wednesday that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O'Brady wrote, “While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced.”The day before, he wrote that he was “in the zone” and thought he could make it to the end without stopping. “I'm listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe,” he wrote. “I called home and talked to my mom, si ster and wife—I promised them I will stop when I need to.”Other people have traveled across Antarctica, but they all had some form of assistance. They had either better, more plentiful supplies or equipment that helped them move forward. In 2016, British explorer Henry Worsley died in his attempt to travel alone across Antarctica unassisted. Worsley's friend Louis Rudd, also from Britain, is now attempting an unaided solo (单独的) journey in honor of Worsley. He is competing against O'Brady to be the first to do it. O'Brady plans to stay on Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip.本文是一篇记叙文。

课时跟踪检测(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading 阅读理解AThe Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25,1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.During the 4th Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the five rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.In the 1950's, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries (东道国) as well as the nonhost countries published stamps to mark those games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps.

Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learningabout oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiencescan take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how tocooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skillsthat will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates (激发) and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.语篇解读:对从事运动员生涯的孩子,家长和教练往往只注重结果,而对他们过多地批评和指责,以至于对他们产生了消极的影响。

By the time he graduated,he was beginning to earn __16__ fees by drawing for wealthy people.When Albrecht returned home,at dinner he drank a __17__ to his beloved brother for the years of __18__ that had enabled him to fulfill his __19__.

In the study,30 minutes of walking three days per week was enough to drive down blood pressure and improve overall fitness in a group of healthy sedentary (久坐的) adults.For optimum(最佳的)health,adults are currently recommended to engage in 30 minutes of moderate(适度的)exercise for at least five days of the week. But few people achieve this level of weekly activity,often citing lack of time as the reason.Dr. Mark A. Tully,of the University of Ulster,Northern Ireland,and his colleagues designed a study to see if exercising at a level lower than currently recommended would improve overall fitness and heart health.A total of 106 healthy but sedentary adults between the ages of 40 and 61 participated in the 12-week study. The subjects were randomly (随机地) assigned a 30-minute walk 3 days per week (44 subjects) or a 3-minute walk 5 days per week (42 subjects),while the remainder did not change their lifestyle(the non-walking control group).After 12 weeks,Tully's team found that blood pressure fell and waistlines and hiplines (臀围) reduced in size signifi-cantly in both the 3-day walkers and 5-day walkers. Overall fitness also increased in both walking groups. In contrast,no changes occurred in the non-walking control group.The experts noted that the degree of positive change in blood pressure and waist and hip size seen in the 3-day and 5-day walkers is enough to make a difference to an individual's risk of heart disease.“These results may encourage people who feel they do not have time to exercise for 5 days each week to consider finding time to do a lower weekly target ofexercise,” Tully and his colleagues concluded.31.What's the main purpose of the article?A.To encourage people to do some exercise,even at a low level.B.To encourage people to do as much exercise as possible.C.To remind sedentary adults to do some exercise.D.To tell people how to improve overall fitness.32.Why only few people can do 30-minute exercise for five days of the week?A.They can't find the time.B.They will be too tired.C.They will have heart attacks.D.The level of the exercise is too high for them.33.Which of the following is WRONG about the study?A.The participants are all healthy but sedentary adults.B.The participants are all over 40 years old.C.The participants do a 30-minute walk 3 days a week and a 3-minute walk 5 days a week in every two weeks.D.Both the 3-day walkers and 5-day walkers improved their health conditions.34.What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraphs?A.Walking can drive down blood pressure.B.Even a low level of exercise in a week can improve one's heart health.C.Walking can improve one's heart health.D.Walking can make a difference to people's heart.Ⅳ.补全对话根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Deb's right hip (髋部) broke. She screamed in pain and stopped.Jenna had never met Deb and had been taught to pass every runner she could to win.Instead, Jenna stopped with no hesitation.“Come on,” Jenna told Deb. “We're going to run.”Jenna took Deb's left elbow with her right hand. She helped her jog the last few meters. At the finish line, she pushed Deb in front of her, reasoning Deb would have beaten her anyway if not for the injury. That act helped Deb's team win the regional race and advance to the state meet.Both girls are now 17.Jenna is still an athlete for her school.She and her parents went to Colorado to accept a trophy (奖品) for the national sportsmanship award. Jenna had to give a five-minute speech to the crowd, a crowd which included a number of former Olympians. “I'm pretty scared about my speech,” Jenna said the other night when we talked on the phone. “You want to hear part of it?”She read me one section including this quote from Albert Einstein: “Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine (神圣的) purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of (为了) others.”Deb is also still running. She received a full scholarship to Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Georgia. The award was because of her excellent academic record and great sports potential.But she recently got hurt again and was unable to run for weeks.Even so, I am confident Deb will write a happier ending for herself one day. Both of these young women make you feel confident about the future. They are strong, compassionate (富于同情心的) and smart.For as Einstein said — and as Jenna showed 11 months ago —“we are here for the sake ofothers”.1.Which of the following happened during the race?A.Jenna's act helped Deb's team win the state race.B.Jenna valued sportsmanship above winning the game.C.Jenna helped Deb because she hadn't set her mind on winning.D.Jenna would have won the game if it had not been for Deb's sudden injury.2.Which of the following is TRUE about Deb now?A.Deb has been unable to run since the race.B.Deb is not as popular as Jenna is now.C.Though unable to run, Deb is thought to have a promising future.D.Deb has been recognized by Emmanuel College for her sports performance.3.Which of the following is TRUE about Jenna now?A.She no longer competes for her school after having lost the game.B.She won a big award and received a lot of prize money.C.She is a famous athlete and often gives speeches.D.She believes in treating others with kindness.4.Which of the following shows the spirit of Albert Einstein's words quoted in the speech?A.A v atar director Cameron explored the deep ocean despite many obstacles.B.All members of Sodagreen want to focus on music rather than making themselves into stars.C.The Beijing Ducks won the CBA championship, though the Guangdong team had a comfortable 36-25 lead in the first quarter.D.Zhang Wenchi, who is going to take the college entrance examination in less than three months, decided to donate his stem cells to save a boy.B(2013·四川射洪中学高三月考)President Barack Obama celebrated the start of construction on the National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, D.

that physicalactivity is health behavior with important consequences for daily wellbeing and should be considered when developing national policies to enhance satisfaction with life.”The team examined the influence of physical activity on satisfaction with life among emerging adults aged 18 to 25 because their sense of wellbeing appears to worsen more quickly than at any other time during adulthood.“Emerging adults are going through a lot of changes; they are leaving home for the first time and attending college or starting jobs,” said Maher.“As a result, their satisfaction with life can plummet.We decided to focus on emerging adults because they stand to benefit most from strategies to enhance satisfaction with life.”The researchers recruited (招收) two groups of college students.The first group, with 190 individuals, entered information into a diary every day for eight days.The second group, with 63 individuals, entered information into a secure website every day for 14 days.Both groups answered questions aimed at determining participants’satisfaction with life, physical activity and selfesteem.For the second group, the researchers wanted to further investigate whether physical activity was indeed the cause of participants’increased satisfaction with life rather than some other factors such as mental health, tiredness, or body mass index (体质指数).“Shifts in depression, anxiety and stress would be expected to influence a person’s satisfaction with life at any given point in time,”said David Conroy, professor of kinesiology.“In addition, tiredness can be a barrier to engaging in physical activity, and a high body mass index associated with being overweight may cause a person to be less satisfied in avariety of ways.”However, the team found that exercising just a little more than usual can significantly improve a person’s satisfaction with life.1.What Jaclyn Maher said in the second paragraph indicates that ________.A.physical activity is the
