At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to be ducked ” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not .Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Went worth.Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me ” I had conquered my fear of water.

Recently, I had the unexpected pleasure of witnessing a basketball game played by local villagers in Guizhou province. Despite being amateurs, the teams played with professional-level format and refereeing (裁判), creating an intense atmosphere. The rescheduled final game of the Guizhou country basketball league, known as the “Village Basketball Association (VBA),” took place in Taipan Village.
The game attracted a large audience, even on a weekday. The live stream of the game on social media platforms received 5.66 million views, generating buzz with hashtags like “what does ‘sold-out’ look like.” So, why are grassroots competitions like this more attractive to people like me than professional games I believe it’s because sports arise from the grassroots level, allowing everyone to connect socially and find common ground.
The VBA reminded me of a basketball game I experienced during my visit to Yangshuo in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Bored of the scenic landscapes, I took a break and joined the locals and other visitors on the sidelines. Sitting on the bare ground, I felt so authentic and free that it released all my thoughts and emotions.
Similarly, in the VBA game, the winning team received modest prizes like live ducks and cooked meat, showcasing the genuine and down-to-earth nature of the competition. I even wondered if the players were cooks or farmers who could prepare the food right off the court.
The sudden popularity of the VBA can originate from the pervasive influence of social media and people’s desire to explore something different from their immediate surroundings. However, what truly resonates (共鸣) and has the potential for further growth is the pursuit (追求) of spiritual fulfillment. Grassroots sports offer an accessible and fulfilling experience, making them an ideal destination for individuals seeking a deeper connection.
8. What made the basketball game in Guizhou attractive
A. The professional-level players. B. The large number of viewers.
C. The involvement of local villagers. D. The VBA offers better prizes.
9. How did the author feel while watching the basketball game in Yangshuo
A. A connection with other audience. B. A sense of authenticity and freedom.
C. A sense of loneliness from the locals. D. A sense of boredom from the landscape.
10. According to the last paragraph, which has NOT contributed to the popularity of the VBA
A. The impact of social media.
B. The attempt to achieve a spiritual satisfaction.
C. The eagerness for the newness in their surroundings.
D. The perfect opportunity to realize one’s sportsmanship.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A. VBA—an Online Hit B. My Special Encounter with a VBA Game
C. The Game for Prosperity and Happiness D. VBA—a Path to Grassroots’ Success
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在贵州观看的一场当地村民的篮球比赛，作者介绍了该球赛的一些相关信息等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So, why are grassroots competitions like this more attractive to people like me than professional games I believe it’s because sports arise from the grassroots level, allowing everyone to connect socially and find common ground.(那么，为什么像这样的草根比赛比职业比赛对我这样的人更有吸引力呢？我相信这是因为体育是从基层开始的，让每个人都能在社会上联系起来，找到共同点)”可知，作者认为这场比赛之所以有吸引力是因为这场比赛是从基层开始的，让每个人都参与到比赛中。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The VBA reminded me of a basketball game I experienced during my visit to Yangshuo in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Bored of the scenic landscapes, I took a break and joined the locals and other visitors on the sidelines. Sitting on the bare ground, I felt so authentic and free that it released all my thoughts and emotions.(VBA让我想起了我在广西壮族自治区阳朔参观时经历的一场篮球比赛。厌倦了风景优美的风景，我休息了一下，加入了当地人和其他游客的行列。坐在光秃秃的地面上，我感到如此真实和自由，它释放了我所有的思想和情感)”可知，作者在阳朔观看篮球比赛时感到真实和自由，释放了自己所有的思想和情感。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The sudden popularity of the VBA can originate from the pervasive influence of social media and people’s desire to explore something different from their immediate surroundings. However, what truly resonates (共鸣) and has the potential for further growth is the pursuit (追求) of spiritual fulfillment.(VBA的突然流行可能源于社交媒体的无处不在的影响，以及人们渴望探索与周围环境不同的东西。然而，真正引起共鸣并具有进一步发展潜力的是对精神满足的追求)”可知，VBA的受欢迎有社交媒体的作用，也是因为人们渴望探索与周围环境不同的东西以及人们对于精神满足的追求。只有选项D“The perfect opportunity to realize one’s sportsmanship.(这是发挥运动员精神的绝佳机会)”没有提及。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Recently, I had the unexpected pleasure of witnessing a basketball game played by local villagers in Guizhou province. Despite being amateurs, the teams played with professional-level format and refereeing (裁判), creating an intense atmosphere. The rescheduled final game of the Guizhou country basketball league, known as the “Village Basketball Association (VBA),” took place in Taipan Village.(最近，我有幸在贵州观看了一场当地村民的篮球比赛。尽管是业余选手，但这些球队的比赛形式和裁判都达到了专业水平，营造了一种紧张的气氛。被称为“乡村篮球协会(VBA)”的贵州乡村篮球联赛的最后一场比赛改期后在太盘村举行)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要讲述的是作者观看了一场被称为“乡村篮球协会(VBA)”的贵州乡村篮球联赛之后的感触。由此可知。“My Special Encounter with a VBA Game(我与VBA比赛的特殊相遇)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
D
Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
12. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
13. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
14. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
15. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B. Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。一种新的紫色番茄在美国获得批准种植和销售。科学家通过改变这种番茄的DNA,增加了它们的抗氧化剂，使这种番茄可以保存更久，并有助于人们的健康。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).(虽然颜色不同寻常，但现在这种特殊的西红柿已经获得了美国政府的批准，它含有很高的抗氧化剂)”以及第二段中“Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. (科学家认为，AOS可能有助于预防心脏病，并有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。)”可知，紫色番茄中含有抗氧化剂，抗氧化剂能够有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。故紫色番茄的特殊之处在于它的医用价值。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be the same. We need to see more experiments about it.”（虽然这是个好消息，但在老鼠身上进行的实验并不总是能预测对人类的影响是一样的。我们需要看到更多关于它的实验。）可知，作者对此实验目前心存怀疑。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。第四段提到“But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.（转基因产品并不受消费者欢迎，许多人被这些食物不天然或不安全的想法吓到了。转基因作物对环境的影响也仍然受到质疑。然而，科学家们否认了这些说法。）”再结合该词后面的“many people have concerns about them（很多人还是很担心这个问题）”，可推知这里指的是：即使科学家认为转基因食物是安全的，但是很多人对此仍然很担心，故划线词so指代的是前文的科学家们对转基因食物是会对环境造成影响的，以及转基因食物是不天然或者不安全的说法进行了否定，即科学家认为转基因产品是安全的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲述了转基因西红柿相较普通西红柿的优势；第二段提到科学家马丁通过改变番茄基因，让番茄含有大量的抗氧化剂，第三段提到马丁通过实验证明了这种番茄保质期更长。后面几段提到，虽然公众对转基因产品仍持怀疑态度，但这种番茄在美国最终还是获得了批准种植和销售。标题“Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.（转基因西红柿批准上市）”符合文意，故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。
Jumping rope is popular but we tend to ignore (忽视) its benefits. ____16____ A study found that college men who spent 10 minutes jumping rope daily for six weeks improved their cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness just as much as college men who spent thirty minutes jogging for the same time. Here are some benefits of jumping rope.
____17____
Since most of your major muscles are working when you jump rope, the exercise creates a lot of heat in the body. Your body needs to burn more fuel to produce this energy, so it burns lots of calories. It burns more calories than any other exercises, such as jogging, cycling and swimming.
Improves coordination (协调)
Jumping rope requires good coordination, especially as you advance to more skilled moves. ____18____ It improves coordination by requiring several body parts to communicate in order to complete one movement. The feet must jump in time with the wrists turning in order to create a continuous jumping motion.
Reduces injury risk
With your improved coordination from jumping rope, you’ll be less likely to get hurt either during exercise or in daily activities. ____19____ As a result, you are more agile (灵活的) and your body awareness is improved greatly. This guarantees fewer injuries.
Improves heart health
Since jumping rope gets your heart pumping, it’s great for your cardiovascular system and heart health. Jumping rope can increase your VO2 Max (最大摄氧量), the measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can breathe during exercise. The higher someone’s VO2 max, the more cardiovascular endurance (耐受力) they have.
Jumping rope gives us a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment and one move. ____20____ Jump to some music, or take your rope to a nearby park to enjoy the fun.
A. Burns calories
B. Improves muscles
C. It benefits us not only physically but also mentally.
D. You can quickly swing the rope twice within each jump.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了跳绳的好处。
【16题详解】
上文“Jumping rope is popular but we tend to ignore (忽视) its benefits(跳绳很流行，但我们往往忽视它的好处)”指出人们往往会忽视跳绳的好处，下文“A study found that college men who spent 10 minutes jumping rope daily for six weeks improved their cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness just as much as college men who spent thirty minutes jogging for the same time.(一项研究发现，连续六周每天花10分钟跳绳的大学男生，其心血管健康状况的改善程度不亚于同一时间每天花30分钟慢跑的大学男生。)”指出研究表明，跳绳是有好处的，所以空处应该引起下文，指出跳绳是有好处的，E项“It may even be more effective than other forms of exercise.(它甚至可能比其他形式的锻炼更有效。)”符合，其中“It”代指上文提到的“Jumping rope”，故选E。
【17题详解】
此处是本段小标题，由下文“Since most of your major muscles are working when you jump rope, the exercise creates a lot of heat in the body. Your body needs to burn more fuel to produce this energy, so it burns lots of calories. It burns more calories than any other exercises, such as jogging, cycling and swimming.(由于跳绳时你的大部分主要肌肉都在工作，因此这项运动会在身体内产生大量的热量。你的身体需要燃烧更多的燃料来产生这种能量，所以它燃烧大量的卡路里。它比任何其他运动燃烧更多的卡路里，如慢跑，骑自行车和游泳。)”可知，本段主要介绍了跳绳能燃烧卡路里，A项“Burns calories(燃烧卡路里)”适合作本段标题，故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Jumping rope requires good coordination, especially as you advance to more skilled moves.(跳绳需要良好的协调性，尤其是当你进入更熟练的动作。)”指出跳绳需要良好的协调性，下文“It improves coordination by requiring several body parts to communicate in order to complete one movement.(它通过要求几个身体部位进行交流来完成一个动作，从而提高了协调性。)”指出跳绳时如何能提高协调性，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，描述跳绳时的具体动作，D项“You can quickly swing the rope twice within each jump.(你可以在每次跳跃中快速摆动两次绳子。)”符合，下文“It”代指上文的“quickly swing the rope twice within each jump”，故选D。
【19题详解】
下文“As a result, you are more agile (灵活的) and your body awareness is improved greatly. This guarantees fewer injuries.(因此，你变得更加敏捷，你的身体意识也得到了极大的提高。这保证了更少的伤害。)”指出跳绳能使你变得更加敏捷，由此可知，空处引起下文，指出跳绳如何使你变得敏捷，空处和下文是因果关系，F项“Jumping rope forces you to move your upper and lower body together.(跳绳迫使你一起移动你的上半身和下半身。)”符合，故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“Jumping rope gives us a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment and one move. (跳绳只需要一个设备和一个动作，就能使我们得到全身锻炼。)”指出跳绳的好处，下文“Jump to some music, or take your rope to a nearby park to enjoy the fun.(伴着一些音乐跳绳，或拿着你的跳绳到附近的公园享受乐趣。)”呼吁我们要跳绳，由此可知，空处应该承接上文，继续描写跳绳的好处，C项“It benefits us not only physically but also mentally.(它不仅对我们的身体有益，而且对我们的精神也有益。)”符合，其中“It”代指上文提到的“Jumping rope”，故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father and I disagreed about my curfew (晚间在家的时间). He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction, it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back, I got everything prepared. When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late As I anxiously stepped the floor, another half hour passed. That was when I got really angry. How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However, when another half an hour passed, my anger turned to fear. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident, or something else I began to get really worried, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. I had already called his cell phone about ten times, but there was no answer.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened.

【答案】I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened. Suddenly, the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and picked the receiver up, it was my dad. From the other end of the phone came my father’s voice. He said breathlessly, “Son, I am so sorry about the football game, but …there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I stopped to help the injured and ended up going to the hospital. I left my phone in the car, so I couldn’t call you until now.”
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I was so relieved to hear from my father. Having learnt that he was safe, I burst into tears. It was at that moment that I had a full understanding of the importance of a curfew. Since then, I have been insisting on checking in! For me, it’s about knowing that someone I love is safe. It is also one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to be ducked ” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not .Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Went worth.Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me ” I had conquered my fear of water.
4. What was the author’s original fear of water caused by
A. His poor skill in swimming.
B. His mother’s warning of drowning.
C. An outing to the beach with his father.
D. An unpleasant memory of the pool.
5. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water

Recently, I had the unexpected pleasure of witnessing a basketball game played by local villagers in Guizhou province. Despite being amateurs, the teams played with professional-level format and refereeing (裁判), creating an intense atmosphere. The rescheduled final game of the Guizhou country basketball league, known as the “Village Basketball Association (VBA),” took place in Taipan Village.
The game attracted a large audience, even on a weekday. The live stream of the game on social media platforms received 5.66 million views, generating buzz with hashtags like “what does ‘sold-out’ look like.” So, why are grassroots competitions like this more attractive to people like me than professional games I believe it’s because sports arise from the grassroots level, allowing everyone to connect socially and find common ground.
The VBA reminded me of a basketball game I experienced during my visit to Yangshuo in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Bored of the scenic landscapes, I took a break and joined the locals and other visitors on the sidelines. Sitting on the bare ground, I felt so authentic and free that it released all my thoughts and emotions.
Similarly, in the VBA game, the winning team received modest prizes like live ducks and cooked meat, showcasing the genuine and down-to-earth nature of the competition. I even wondered if the players were cooks or farmers who could prepare the food right off the court.
The sudden popularity of the VBA can originate from the pervasive influence of social media and people’s desire to explore something different from their immediate surroundings. However, what truly resonates (共鸣) and has the potential for further growth is the pursuit (追求) of spiritual fulfillment. Grassroots sports offer an accessible and fulfilling experience, making them an ideal destination for individuals seeking a deeper connection.
8. What made the basketball game in Guizhou attractive
A. The professional-level players. B. The large number of viewers.
C. The involvement of local villagers. D. The VBA offers better prizes.
9. How did the author feel while watching the basketball game in Yangshuo

Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
12. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
13. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
14. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
15. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.

Jumping rope is popular but we tend to ignore (忽视) its benefits. ____16____ A study found that college men who spent 10 minutes jumping rope daily for six weeks improved their cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness just as much as college men who spent thirty minutes jogging for the same time. Here are some benefits of jumping rope.
____17____
Since most of your major muscles are working when you jump rope, the exercise creates a lot of heat in the body. Your body needs to burn more fuel to produce this energy, so it burns lots of calories. It burns more calories than any other exercises, such as jogging, cycling and swimming.
Improves coordination (协调)
Jumping rope requires good coordination, especially as you advance to more skilled moves. ____18____ It improves coordination by requiring several body parts to communicate in order to complete one movement. The feet must jump in time with the wrists turning in order to create a continuous jumping motion.
Reduces injury risk
With your improved coordination from jumping rope, you’ll be less likely to get hurt either during exercise or in daily activities. ____19____ As a result, you are more agile (灵活的) and your body awareness is improved greatly. This guarantees fewer injuries.
Improves heart health
Since jumping rope gets your heart pumping, it’s great for your cardiovascular system and heart health. Jumping rope can increase your VO2 Max (最大摄氧量), the measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can breathe during exercise. The higher someone’s VO2 max, the more cardiovascular endurance (耐受力) they have.
Jumping rope gives us a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment and one move. ____20____ Jump to some music, or take your rope to a nearby park to enjoy the fun.
A. Burns calories
B. Improves muscles
C. It benefits us not only physically but also mentally.
D. You can quickly swing the rope twice within each jump.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father and I disagreed about my curfew (晚间在家的时间). He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction, it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back, I got everything prepared. When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late As I anxiously stepped the floor, another half hour passed. That was when I got really angry. How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However, when another half an hour passed, my anger turned to fear. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident, or something else I began to get really worried, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. I had already called his cell phone about ten times, but there was no answer.
注意：
