资源简介 UNIT 4 SHARINGⅠ.阅读理解A (2025·贵阳质量监测)It all started with a simple question:“Can I paint your portrait?” In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, just moved to Santa Ana, California.Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, a messy homeless man was often shouting on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night.Peterson, 28, would pass the guy on his way to his job as a car designer at Kia Corporation, but they never spoke. One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man.Inspired by the book’s sympathetic message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris.He’d moved to southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later on the podcast (播客) Top Artist.“I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year.But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait.Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led to the creation of Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization that befriends unhoused community members and paints portraits of them.Using a black-and-white photo taken with his phone, Peterson selects colors based on the subject’s personality and story, resulting in powerful portraits.He sells the large paintings, signed by both the subject and the artist, for a few thousand dollars.Half of the profits go into a “love account” for the models, helping them start again.Faris used his portrait funds to fulfill his musical dreams by recording an album.1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?( )A.To explain the portrait. B.To express a request.C.To ask a question. D.To introduce the topic.2.How did Peterson feel when just arriving at his new home?( )A.Worried. B.Bothered.C.Delighted.

D.Most beautiful.4.What caused the foundation of Faces of Santa Ana?( )A.Peterson’s relation to Faris. B.Profits from selling paintings.C.Colors based on the personality. D.Peterson’s powerful portraits.B (2025·厦门模拟)My retired husband and I had moved to California to be near our daughter and family.With nothing to do, I felt I needed something to add meaning to my life. One afternoon, I noticed a small ad in our local newspaper asking for Support Volunteers to help out at the fire department.Hmmm.Maybe I could do some filing or other office work.However, I was afraid of meeting new people and uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations.What if I went to a group where everyone knew everyone else — and I was the odd one out? Nope.Not for me. I called and was told they were starting a class to train new volunteers.When I realized that everyone was going to be a newbie (新手) at the same time, I smiled.Now, that was more like it and I felt relieved. I was interviewed, and had my fingerprints taken and my background checked.I passed.The Support Volunteers — or SVs, as we were called — came from many different walks of life.This particular group was made up of retired people with interests similar to my own.Together, we made up an efficient, knowledgeable, capable team. Each of us was on duty for twenty-four hours, one day a week, with a partner.While on duty, we transferred mail and equipment to and from the city’s seven fire stations, city hall, and fire/police headquarters.We also taught businesses and the public how to use fire extinguishers, helped monitor school fire drills, installed free smoke detectors in the homes of seniors, and handed out fire-prevention information at community events. During my years as a fire-department volunteer, not only did I become comfortable with strangers, but I could speak in public with ease.I also learned what it felt like to be on the receiving end of services provided by a totally different but fiercely dedicated group of firefighters.I’m glad I had the courage to make that original volunteer phone call.5.What gave the author a sense of relief? ( )A.That she would meet new people. B.That she would pass the interview.C.That she was no worse than others. D.That she would become a volunteer.6.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?( )A.Why the author became an SV. B.What the author learned as an SV.C.What the Support Volunteers did.

B.To show her gains from the experience.C.To express her thanks to other volunteers. D.To remember her unforgettable experience.8.Which of the following best describes the author’s change?( )A.From shy to confident. B.From confused to satisfied.C.From pessimistic to optimistic. D.From excited to disappointed.C Let’s face it — reading a paperback novel and listening to an audiobook are two completely separate reading experiences. However, despite their physical significant differences, audiobooks and regular books share more similarities than you may think. Although listening to an audiobook doesn’t require you to sit down and peruse pages with your eyes, both methods allow you to fulfill the common purpose of acquiring information from a book. The main difference between the two comes from the way the messages are decoded in your mind. Spoken language and written language are processed differently by the brain, meaning that you can receive the same information from two different sources, but they’ll be processed through different parts of the brain. To illustrate, listening activates the hearing center of the brain, while reading the written word is processed by the visual cortex (皮层). This phenomenon also depends on the type of information being processed. For instance, a fiction novel being read for pleasure will be processed differently than a non-fiction book you are studying for academic or professional purposes. This is because you read fiction novels for entertainment, which can easily be forgotten afterward. Non-fiction is read for the purpose of retaining information for later use. In either case, whether you are reading a book or listening to one, the brain will process both fictional and non-fictional material and retain information, respectively. Audiobooks and physical books may have their differences, but they share a common denominator: absorbing information from a book. As such, audiobooks can technically count as reading, as both outcomes are relatively the same. Actually, audiobooks are more than just something to listen to — they’re a way for people to continue learning while on the go and to maintain motivation to practice self-care and improvement. More importantly, they can improve both brain function and physical aspects of your daily life.9.What’s the difference between reading a paperback book and listening to an audiobook?( )A.They lead to different results. B.They offer different resources.C.They serve different purposes. D.They use different brain regions.10.What can we learn about a non-fiction book?( )A.People usually read it for pleasure. B.Reading it is less time-consuming.C.It will be forgotten more easily afterwards. D.Reading it involves more conscious effort.11.What does the underlined word “denominator” in Paragraph 4 mean?( )A.Theory. B.Feature. C.Concept. D.Principle.12.What will the author probably talk about in the paragraphs that follow?( )A.The health benefits of audiobooks.B.The advantages of paperback books.C.The similarities between audiobooks and physical books.D.The differences between audiobooks and physical books.Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. 13.( ).It preserves muscle strength, keeps your heart strong, maintains a healthy body weight, and staves off chronic diseases such as diabetes. 14.( ).Many studies have suggested that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory are larger in volume in people who exercise than in people who don’t. One finding is that engaging in a program of regular exercise of moderate intensity over six months or a year is associated with an increase in the volume of selected brain regions. Exercise can also boost memory and thinking indirectly by improving mood and sleep, and by reducing stress and anxiety. Problems in these areas frequently cause or contribute to cognitive impairment.Is one exercise better than another in terms of brain health? 15.( ), because almost all of the research so far has looked at one form of exercise: walking. “But it’s likely that other forms of aerobic (有氧的) exercise that get your heart pumping might yield similar benefits,” explains Dr. Scott McGinnis, assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School. Aerobic exercise is a physical activity that uses your body’s large muscle groups, which is rhythmic and repetitive. 16.( ). Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, running, jogging, biking, and swimming. It reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. 17.( ), like walking for health or cycling instead of using the car to get around. However, the more you do, the better, and taking part in activities such as sports and exercise will make you even healthier.A.Nothing is more important than healthB.Exercise benefits health in so many waysC.We don’t know the answer to this questionD.But exercise can be beneficial to your brain tooE.It increases your heart rate and how much oxygen your body usesF.We move around less and burn off less energy than people used toG.For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activity part of everyday lifeUNIT 4 SHARINGⅠ.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Brian Peterson在认识流浪汉Matt Faris后成立了一个非营利性组织,专注于与社区中无家可归的人员交朋友并为他们画肖像,通过售卖肖像所得帮助他们重新站起来。1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,第一段的目的是引出本文的主题。主人公Brian Peterson在认识流浪汉Matt Faris后,问了这样的问题,从而创建了一个助人组织。2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知,一个邋遢的流浪汉经常在街角大喊大叫,有时会让他们彻夜难眠。由此推断,Peterson刚到他的新家时经常被打扰,会感到烦恼。3.A 词义猜测题。画线词所在句的下一句讲到“我在一个大概一年没刮胡子、指甲长得太长、可能将近一年没洗澡的男人脸上看到了美”,再结合选项可知,此处表示这对作者来说很奇怪。画线词意为“最奇怪的”,与A项意思一致。4.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Peterson’s connection with Faris led to the creation of Faces of Santa Ana可知,Peterson与Faris的联系促成了Santa Ana这一非营利性组织的成立。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者退休后报名成为消防部门的一名志愿者,她从这段经历中受益匪浅。5.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中When I realized that everyone was going to be a newbie (新手) at the same time, I smiled.可知,作者在面试前开始有点紧张,但后来意识到参加面试的都是新手后就感到放松了。6.C 段落大意题。根据第五段可知,本段作者主要讲述了志愿者们所从事的具体工作。7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,本段作者主要说明从事志愿者工作给自己带来的改变和收获,她为自己做出这一明智选择而感到庆幸。8.A 推理判断题。综合全文可知,作者刚开始性格内向、特别害羞,参加完志愿者工作后可以自如地应对陌生人并从容地在公共场合讲话。由此可推知,她从害羞变得自信。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。读纸质书和听有声书是两种完全不同的阅读体验,但是,它们有一个共同点——从书中获取信息。9.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中you can receive the same information from two different sources, but they’ll be processed through different parts of the brain可知,当我们读纸质书和听有声书时,我们获取同样的信息,但是这些信息在大脑中不同的区域被处理。10.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中you read fiction novels for entertainment, which can easily be forgotten afterward. Non-fiction is read for the purpose of retaining information for later use可知,我们阅读虚构小说是为了娱乐,之后很容易被遗忘;而阅读非虚构类书籍是为了学术或专业目的,需要保留信息以备以后使用。由此可以判断,阅读非虚构类书籍需要付出更多有意识的努力。11.B 词义猜测题。画线词后面的absorbing information from a book是读纸质书和听有声书所共同具有的一个“特征”。12.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,本段先指出听有声书不仅仅是人们在忙碌生活中继续学习的一种方式,然后强调有声书可以改善你的大脑功能和身体健康。由此可推知,文章接下来有可能承接上文,继续阐述有声书对身体健康带来的好处。Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现,锻炼不但有益于我们的身体健康,还有益于我们的大脑。13.B 下文列举了锻炼给我们身体健康带来的各种好处,正好是对B项(锻炼在很多方面有益于健康)的具体说明。14.D 本段主要说明锻炼对大脑带来的好处,因此D项(但是运动对你的大脑也有好处)适合作为本段的主旨句。15.C 上句提出一个问题:Is one exercise better than another in terms of brain health?因此C项(我们不知道这个问题的答案)符合语境。16.E 本段主要介绍有氧运动,E项(它会增加你的心率和你的身体消耗的氧气量)说明有氧运动的一项主要特征,符合语境。17.G 下文列举了日常生活中的两种锻炼方式:like walking for health or cycling instead of using the car to get around,G项(对大多数人来说,最简单的运动方式就是让运动成为日常生活的一部分)强调日常锻炼的重要性,符合语境。4 / 4UNIT 4 SHARINGPart Ⅰ 一维重点突破 Walking along a dusty track covered with weeds to the school, I was disappointed to find the teaching conditions were much (poor) than I had thought.There was no electricity, not to mention laptops.I was considering resigning the headmaster with a wrinkled forehead came, dragging his feet.After giving me a firm handshake, he introduced me to the students.He insisted that education should not be a privilege in the modern society for children in poor areas deserved (receive) education.I had taken education for granted,but then I prayed every child had a chance to go to school. 微技能热身 1.①处应填 。 2.②处应填 。 3.③处应填 。 4.④处应填 。privilege n.优惠待遇;特权;荣幸【练通】 单句语法填空①Delighted and (privilege), I am writing to invite you to be a judge at our English speech contest.

One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading thebook Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet wasdisturbed by the homeless man.Inspired by the book’s sympatheticmessage, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to gooutside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s namewas Matt Faris.He’d moved to southern California from Kentucky topursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended upliving on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later on thepodcast (播客) Top Artist.“I saw beauty on the face of a man whohadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, andprobably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year.But his story, the lifeinside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson, a graduate ofthe Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in abouteight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait.Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led to the creation of Faces ofSanta Ana, a nonprofit organization that befriends unhoused communitymembers and paints portraits of them.Using a black-and-white photo takenwith his phone, Peterson selects colors based on the subject’spersonality and story, resulting in powerful portraits.He sells the largepaintings, signed by both the subject and the artist, for a few thousanddollars.Half of the profits go into a “love account” for the models,helping them start again.Faris used his portrait funds to fulfill his musicaldreams by recording an album.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Brian Peterson在认识流浪汉MattFaris后成立了一个非营利性组织,专注于与社区中无家可归的人员交朋友并为他们画肖像,通过售卖肖像所得帮助他们重新站起来。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Brian Peterson在认识流浪汉MattFaris后成立了一个非营利性组织,专注于与社区中无家可归的人员交朋友并为他们画肖像,通过售卖肖像所得帮助他们重新站起来。1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?( )A. To explain the portrait.B. To express a request.C. To ask a question.D. To introduce the topic.解析: 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,第一段的目的是引出本文的主题。主人公Brian Peterson在认识流浪汉Matt Faris后,问了这样的问题,从而创建了一个助人组织。√2. How did Peterson feel when just arriving at his new home?( )A. Worried. B. Bothered.C. Delighted. D. Relaxed.解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知,一个邋遢的流浪汉经常在街角大喊大叫,有时会让他们彻夜难眠。由此推断,Peterson刚到他的新家时经常被打扰,会感到烦恼。√3. What does the underlined word “weirdest” in Paragraph 5 probablymean?( )A. Strangest. B. Hardest.C. Most frequent. D. Most beautiful.解析: 词义猜测题。画线词所在句的下一句讲到“我在一个大概一年没刮胡子、指甲长得太长、可能将近一年没洗澡的男人脸上看到了美”,再结合选项可知,此处表示这对作者来说很奇怪。画线词意为“最奇怪的”,与A项意思一致。√4. What caused the foundation of Faces of Santa Ana?( )A. Peterson’s relation to Faris.B. Profits from selling paintings.C. Colors based on the personality.D. Peterson’s powerful portraits.解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Peterson’s connection withFaris led to the creation of Faces of Santa Ana可知,Peterson与Faris的联系促成了Santa Ana这一非营利性组织的成立。√B (2025·厦门模拟)My retired husband and I had moved toCalifornia to be near our daughter and family.With nothing to do, I felt Ineeded something to add meaning to my life. One afternoon, I noticed a small ad in our local newspaper askingfor Support Volunteers to help out at the fire department.Hmmm.Maybe Icould do some filing or other office work.However, I was afraid ofmeeting new people and uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations.What if Iwent to a group where everyone knew everyone else — and I was the oddone out? Nope.Not for me. I called and was told they were starting a class to train newvolunteers.When I realized that everyone was going to be a newbie (新手) at the same time, I smiled.Now, that was more like it and I feltrelieved. I was interviewed, and had my fingerprints taken and mybackground checked.I passed.The Support Volunteers — or SVs, as wewere called — came from many different walks of life.This particulargroup was made up of retired people with interests similar to myown.Together, we made up an efficient, knowledgeable, capableteam. Each of us was on duty for twenty-four hours, one day a week,with a partner.While on duty, we transferred mail and equipment to andfrom the city’s seven fire stations, city hall, and fire/policeheadquarters.We also taught businesses and the public how to use fireextinguishers, helped monitor school fire drills, installed free smokedetectors in the homes of seniors, and handed out fire-preventioninformation at community events. During my years as a fire-department volunteer, not only did Ibecome comfortable with strangers, but I could speak in public withease.I also learned what it felt like to be on the receiving end of servicesprovided by a totally different but fiercely dedicated group offirefighters.I’m glad I had the courage to make that original volunteerphone call.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者退休后报名成为消防部门的一名志愿者,她从这段经历中受益匪浅。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者退休后报名成为消防部门的一名志愿者,她从这段经历中受益匪浅。5. What gave the author a sense of relief? ( )A. That she would meet new people.B. That she would pass the interview.C. That she was no worse than others.D. That she would become a volunteer.解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段中When I realized that everyonewas going to be a newbie (新手) at the same time, I smiled.可知,作者在面试前开始有点紧张,但后来意识到参加面试的都是新手后就感到放松了。√6. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?( )A. Why the author became an SV.B. What the author learned as an SV.C. What the Support Volunteers did.D. How the Support Volunteers practiced.解析: 段落大意题。根据第五段可知,本段作者主要讲述了志愿者们所从事的具体工作。√7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?( )A. To convey her love for volunteer work.B. To show her gains from the experience.C. To express her thanks to other volunteers.D. To remember her unforgettable experience.解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,本段作者主要说明从事志愿者工作给自己带来的改变和收获,她为自己做出这一明智选择而感到庆幸。√8. Which of the following best describes the author’s change?( )A. From shy to confident.B. From confused to satisfied.C. From pessimistic to optimistic.D. From excited to disappointed.解析: 推理判断题。综合全文可知,作者刚开始性格内向、特别害羞,参加完志愿者工作后可以自如地应对陌生人并从容地在公共场合讲话。由此可推知,她从害羞变得自信。√C Let’s face it — reading a paperback novel and listening to anaudiobook are two completely separate reading experiences. However,despite their physical significant differences, audiobooks and regularbooks share more similarities than you may think. Although listening to anaudiobook doesn’t require you to sit down and peruse pages with youreyes, both methods allow you to fulfill the common purpose of acquiringinformation from a book. The main difference between the two comes from the way themessages are decoded in your mind. Spoken language and writtenlanguage are processed differently by the brain, meaning that you canreceive the same information from two different sources, but they’ll beprocessed through different parts of the brain. To illustrate, listeningactivates the hearing center of the brain, while reading the written wordis processed by the visual cortex (皮层). This phenomenon also depends on the type of information beingprocessed. For instance, a fiction novel being read for pleasure will beprocessed differently than a non-fiction book you are studying foracademic or professional purposes. This is because you read fiction novelsfor entertainment, which can easily be forgotten afterward. Non-fictionis read for the purpose of retaining information for later use. In eithercase, whether you are reading a book or listening to one, the brain willprocess both fictional and non-fictional material and retain information,respectively. Audiobooks and physical books may have their differences, but theyshare a common denominator: absorbing information from a book. Assuch, audiobooks can technically count as reading, as both outcomesare relatively the same. Actually, audiobooks are more than just something to listen to —they’re a way for people to continue learning while on the go and tomaintain motivation to practice self-care and improvement. Moreimportantly, they can improve both brain function and physical aspectsof your daily life.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。读纸质书和听有声书是两种完全不同的阅读体验,但是,它们有一个共同点——从书中获取信息。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。读纸质书和听有声书是两种完全不同的阅读体验,但是,它们有一个共同点——从书中获取信息。9. What’s the difference between reading a paperback book and listeningto an audiobook?( )A. They lead to different results.B. They offer different resources.C. They serve different purposes.D. They use different brain regions.√解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中you can receive the sameinformation from two different sources, but they’ll be processedthrough different parts of the brain可知,当我们读纸质书和听有声书时,我们获取同样的信息,但是这些信息在大脑中不同的区域被处理。10. What can we learn about a non-fiction book?( )A. People usually read it for pleasure.B. Reading it is less time-consuming.C. It will be forgotten more easily afterwards.D. Reading it involves more conscious effort.√解析: 推理判断题。根据第三段中you read fiction novels forentertainment, which can easily be forgotten afterward. Non-fiction isread for the purpose of retaining information for later use可知,我们阅读虚构小说是为了娱乐,之后很容易被遗忘;而阅读非虚构类书籍是为了学术或专业目的,需要保留信息以备以后使用。由此可以判断,阅读非虚构类书籍需要付出更多有意识的努力。11. What does the underlined word “denominator” in Paragraph 4mean?( )A. Theory. B. Feature.C. Concept. D. Principle.解析: 词义猜测题。画线词后面的absorbing information from abook是读纸质书和听有声书所共同具有的一个“特征”。√12. What will the author probably talk about in the paragraphs thatfollow?( )A. The health benefits of audiobooks.B. The advantages of paperback books.C. The similarities between audiobooks and physical books.D. The differences between audiobooks and physical books.√解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,本段先指出听有声书不仅仅是人们在忙碌生活中继续学习的一种方式,然后强调有声书可以改善你的大脑功能和身体健康。由此可推知,文章接下来有可能承接上文,继续阐述有声书对身体健康带来的好处。Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that beingphysically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. 13.( ).It preserves muscle strength, keeps your heart strong,maintains a healthy body weight, and staves off chronic diseases such asdiabetes. 14. ( ).Many studies have suggested that the parts of the brainthat control thinking and memory are larger in volume in people whoexercise than in people who don’t. One finding is that engaging in aprogram of regular exercise of moderate intensity over six months or a yearis associated with an increase in the volume of selected brain regions. Exercise can also boost memory and thinking indirectly by improvingmood and sleep, and by reducing stress and anxiety. Problems in theseareas frequently cause or contribute to cognitive impairment.Is oneexercise better than another in terms of brain health? 15.( ),because almost all of the research so far has looked at one form ofexercise: walking. “But it’s likely that other forms of aerobic (有氧的) exercise that get your heart pumping might yield similar benefits,”explains Dr. Scott McGinnis, assistant professor of neurology at HarvardMedical School. Aerobic exercise is a physical activity that uses your body’s largemuscle groups, which is rhythmic and repetitive. 16.( ).Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, running, jogging,biking, and swimming. It reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes,high blood pressure and high cholesterol. 17.( ), like walking for health or cycling instead of using thecar to get around.

Exercise benefits health in so many waysC. We don’t know the answer to this questionD. But exercise can be beneficial to your brain tooE. It increases your heart rate and how much oxygen your body usesF. We move around less and burn off less energy than people used toG. For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activitypart of everyday life语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现,锻炼不但有益于我们的身体健康,还有益于我们的大脑。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现,锻炼不但有益于我们的身体健康,还有益于我们的大脑。13. B 下文列举了锻炼给我们身体健康带来的各种好处,正好是对B项(锻炼在很多方面有益于健康)的具体说明。14. D 本段主要说明锻炼对大脑带来的好处,因此D项(但是运动对你的大脑也有好处)适合作为本段的主旨句。15. C 上句提出一个问题:Is one exercise better than another in termsof brain health?因此C项(我们不知道这个问题的答案)符合语境。16. E 本段主要介绍有氧运动,E项(它会增加你的心率和你的身体消耗的氧气量)说明有氧运动的一项主要特征,符合语境。17. G 下文列举了日常生活中的两种锻炼方式:like walking forhealth or cycling instead of using the car to get around,G项(对大多数人来说,最简单的运动方式就是让运动成为日常生活的一部分)强调日常锻炼的重要性,符合语境。演示完毕 感谢观看 ! 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 UNIT 4 SHARING.docx UNIT 4 SHARING.pptx UNIT 4 SHARING(练习,含解析).docx
