Unit 4　Friends forever
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2025·湖南长沙模拟)
Colin Moore,a 16-year-old football player,may not leap to the top of the headlines,but his story is as inspiring as any sports tale.On the field,Colin plays just as hard as the other players.However,what makes Colin different is that he is remarkably capable of racing without a complete right arm.Born without the lower part of his right arm,Colin has never let his physical difference stand in the way of his dreams or his love for football.His personal motto,“mind of steel,heart of gold,” inspires him to move forward whatever challenges he faces.
The challenges Colin faces are unique,but he pushes himself even harder.He has always been committed to working twice as hard as anyone else to ensure his success.His goal is to become a starting center(首发中锋),a big target-man figure.Even though he is missing an arm,he makes up for it with his fast movements and strength,making himself the perfect choice for this position.
Colin’s diligence paid off when he achieved his dream of becoming the starting center for his high school team.During the championship game,when Colin’s team fell behind by two touchdowns(触地得分) in the second half,the atmosphere was tense,and doubts started to appear.But it was Colin’s strong spirit that helped turn things around.He urged his teammates on,reminding them of their training and how important it was to work together.In a critical moment,he made a bold move that not only scored a touchdown but also energized his teammates.They fought back with renewed strength,ultimately defeating their opponents and winning the championship title.
Colin’s coach speaks highly of Colin’s perseverance,“Colin was born with challenges,but every day he maintains a positive attitude and focuses fully on his training.His hard work is the evidence to his character.”

B(2026·河南高三模拟)
An international team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the Universidad Europea in Spain discovered that sustained walking sessions offer stronger protection for heart health than fragmented(碎片化的) activity.
“There is a perception that health professionals have recommended walking 10,000 steps a day should be the goal,but this isn’t a must—that is also hard to achieve for most people nowadays.Simply adding one or two longer walks per day,each lasting at least 10-15 minutes at a comfortable but steady pace,can have significant benefits—especially for people who don’t walk much,” explained co-lead author Dr.Matthew Ahmadi.
The study involved 33,560 adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who typically walked fewer than 8,000 steps a day and had no history of cardiovascular(心血管的) disease or cancer.Participants wore research-grade wristbands for one week to record both their step counts and how their steps were distributed throughout the day.Researchers followed their health outcomes for about eight years,and found striking differences in cardiovascular risk between those who walked in short versus longer sessions.
People who walked continuously for 10-15 minutes daily had only a 4 percent chance of experiencing cardiovascular events,compared to a 13 percent risk among those who walked continuously for just 5 minutes a day.The benefits were greatest for the least active individuals,particularly those taking 5,000 steps or fewer.Within this group,the risk of developing cardiovascular disease fell from 15 percent among short walkers to 7 percent among those who walked up to 15 minutes at a time.
Senior Professor Emmanuel Stamakis noted,“We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but overlook the crucial role of patterns,for example how walking is done.This study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by walking for longer at a time,preferably for at least 10-15 minutes,when possible.”
5.Which of the following does Dr.Matthew Ahmadi consider challenging
A.Walking at a comfortable but steady pace.
B.Reaching the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day.
C.Placing an emphasis on sustained walking sessions.
D.Spending at least ten minutes on a walking session.
6.Why were participants asked to wear wristbands
A.To collect their walking data.
B.To monitor their heart health.
C.To remind them to walk more.
D.To track suitable walking routes.
7.How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A.By quoting experts.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By listing fictional examples.
8.What does Emmanuel Stamakis probably suggest inactive people do
A.Adjust their walking patterns.
B.Shorten their walking time slowly.
C.Prioritize daily fragmented activity.
D.Maximize the total amount of walking.
