My husband and I decided to go for a walk.So we followed the road and then down this path.Anyway,it was lovely and we lay on this beach and the beach was fantastic.Then we looked at our watches and realised actually we were going to miss our bus.So we decided to take a short cut.Instead of going back to the road,we’d just walk over the hill.Then we were faced with this problem that a river cut off our way.We thought the water would go up to our knees and it wasn’t running fast,so we’d be fine.So we started to walk through the river.We walked carefully and slowly.When we got about half way through,suddenly my husband shouted,“Quick! Run!” I asked,“Why ” He said,“Just run! Just run!”So we started running and finally got to the other side.I stood there with water dropping off my hair.I asked again,“Why did we have to run ” My husband pointed to a large board near the river.
On the board it said,“Snakes in the river.DO NOT CROSS!”I looked at my husband with my eyes and mouth wide open.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Have you got tired of exercising Here are some ways to make exercise exciting again.
Kickboxing
While kickboxing may not be the easiest exercise in the world,it does cause you to begin using a new way to burn calories.Not only is it a great aerobic exercise (有氧运动),but also it has been suggested that kickboxing actually can help improve your mental health.
Fitness classes
Fitness classes are no longer “your mum’s aerobic classes”.In fact,some fitness classes are harder than usual workouts.Check your local gyms to see what types of diverse classes they can offer.
Yoga
Yoga has continued to gain more and more popularity.Not only does yoga help you increase flexibility but it leads to a healthier mind.A new study done by the Yoga Journal shows that there are now over 50 million people in America who practise yoga on a regular basis.
CrossFit(混合健身)
We have made a promise that we would never try these impossible exercises at home.
While there is still an ongoing debate about whether or not CrossFit is safe,there are still people actively running CrossFit gyms.Instead of sitting back and getting opinions about CrossFit from people who may have done it before,give it a try.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种运动方式。
(　　)21.Why would people try kickboxing
[A] To burn calories in a new way.
[B] To exercise anywhere they like.

(　　)22.What can we learn from the new study of the Yoga Journal

[B] Yoga is popular in America.
[C] Yoga is well received by women.
[D] Yoga should be practised regularly.

B
Keeping kids busy with various activities provides them with a well-rounded social life.In the process of my growing up,I knew many teenagers who were actively involved in both sports and student unions.Those teenagers all ended up going to college and graduating.This may not be the situation in all cases,but from what I have noticed,teens who stay active and do good in the community are typically the ones who deal with anxiety and depression better.
A study published by professor of biology Theodore Garland concluded,“If kids exercise regularly through the school years,they may be more likely to exercise as adults,which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise tendencies will require reinforcement
(强化) and maintenance if they are to be long-lasting.” This study found that along with physical activity,having a spirit of adventure would also help improve children’s physical and mental health.
Some parents disagree.They feel that pushing a child to stay active and involved causes unnecessary stress and can have the opposite effect,making him/her hate being involved or being active.Parents also fear their children will experience failure,which they believe could lead to low self-confidence.
The key to helping the youth stay motivated is not pressuring them too hard.People who have strict parents typically rebel(反抗) or feel they will never be good enough.Keep in mind that encouraging the youth to be competitive isn’t the best thing.Some of the unhappiest people I have met are competitive.Positive reinforcement is the best way to keep people motivated.
An active and involved youth will show personal qualities that will become useful in the future.Some of these include leadership,teamwork,a healthy lifestyle,respect and trust,which will lead to success in the future.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了让孩子们积极参加各种活动的好处以及不要给青少年太大压力以保持他们的积极性的重要性。
(　　)24.According to the author,what do we know about active teens

[A] They believe it may take a lot of time.
[B] They think it is unnecessary to push kids.
[C] They are worried about the opposite effect.

An hour’s extra sleep a night can shave 270 calories off people’s daily diets,new research suggests—the equivalent of around three chocolate digestive biscuits.Over three years,this could lead to a weight loss of 26 pounds—simply by sleeping more,the researchers said.
A team from the University of Chicago wanted to look at how sleep interacts with obesity and so carried out a clinical trial with 80 adults.Writing in the journal Jama Internal Medicine,
they found that young,overweight adults who habitually slept fewer than 6.5 hours a night were able to add an extra 1.2 hours of sleep per night after undergoing counselling to improve their sleeping habits.
The results showed that getting more sleep reduced people’s overall intake by an average of 270 calories per day,with some people consuming 500 fewer calories.Dr Esra Tasali,from the University of Chicago’s sleep centre,said the study had not intended to look at weight loss.
“But even within just two weeks,we have quantified evidence showing a decrease in caloric intake and a negative energy balance—caloric intake is less than calories burnt,” she said.“If healthy sleep habits are kept over longer period,this would lead to clinically important weight loss over time.Many people are working hard to find ways to decrease their caloric intake to lose weight—well,just by sleeping more,you may be able to reduce it considerably.”
The study did not attempt to restrict people’s diets.Instead,people slept in their own beds,followed a normal lifestyle without any instructions on diet or exercise,and their sleep was tracked by wearable devices.Dr Tasali said that limiting the use of devices such as mobile phones before bedtime helped people get more sleep.She added,“We saw that after just a single sleep counselling session,participants could change their bedtime habits enough to lead to an increase in sleep time.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。研究发现,每天多睡一小时可以消耗更多的卡路里。文章介绍了该项研究开展的过程。
(　　)28.Why did the researchers carry out the study
[A] To find how to reduce weight.
[B] To know the proper sleep time.
[C] To learn about healthy sleep habits.
[D] To study the link between sleep and obesity.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知,进行这项研究是为了研究睡眠和肥胖之间的联系。故选D。
(　　)29.What’s Dr Tasali’s attitude to the findings of the study
[A] Doubtful. [B] Confident.
[C] Negative. [D] Ambiguous.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段的第一句可知,Dr Tasali对于试验结果感到非常自信。故选B。
(　　)30.What can we infer from the last paragraph
[A] Participants should go on a restricted diet and do more exercise.
[B] Limiting the use of digital devices is the best way to get enough sleep.
[C] Participants’ sleep was tracked without disturbing their normal lifestyle.
[D] A single sleep counselling session is useless for participants to change.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第二句可推知,在不影响参与者正常生活方式的情况下他们的睡眠被跟踪。故选C。
(　　)31.What’s a suitable title of the text
[A] A Strange Way to Lose Your Weight
[B] Young and Overweight Adults Need More Sleep
[C] Forming a Regular Sleep Habit Is Good for Your Health
[D] Cut 270 Calories by Sleeping for an Extra Hour Every Night
【答案】 D
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段的内容可知,文章介绍了该项研究开展的过程以及相关发现,D项适合作为文章的标题。故选D。

We all know that being overweight is not great for your health—it’s linked to metabolic
(新陈代谢的) diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.But weighing yourself won’t tell you all you need to know about your disease risk.A friend of mine is a super-fit marathon runner.She’s all lean muscle.And yet according to her body mass index (BMI),which is a measure of weight relative to height,she’s overweight.Which is frankly ridiculous.The BMI is deficient.So what should we be using instead
First,let’s talk about fat—the most demonized of all body components.Fat is stored in adipose tissue (脂肪组织), which has some really important roles.It conserves energy,
maintains our body temperature,and serves as a protective layer for our organs.It also produces a whole host of important substances,from hormones that control our appetite to chemicals that influence the way our immune systems work.
However,not all fat is equal.It’s the visceral fat—the type surrounding your organs—that is thought to be more harmful to your health,if there’s too much of it.Having more visceral fat has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.(That relationship isn’t straightforward either,though;studies have shown that removing this “excess” fat doesn’t improve metabolic health.) Either way,having a good idea of how much fat is in your body,and where it is,would be valuable.It might at least give us some idea of our risk of metabolic disorders.There are quite a few different ways of measuring this.
BMI is the most widely adopted.It’s the official measure the World Health Organization uses to define overweight and obesity.Unfortunately,it doesn’t tell you very much about the fat in your body or how it corresponds to your health.After all,your body weight includes your bones,muscles,blood,and everything else,not just your fat.Instead,Emma B rgeson,who studies cardiometabolic disease at Aarhus University in Denmark,and her colleagues recommend the SAD measure,a measure of the size of a person’s belly from back to front.
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章讨论了体重与健康风险的关系,指出仅依赖体重指数(BMI)来评估健康是有缺陷的。
(　　)32.What does the underlined word “deficient” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Faulty. [B] Accurate.
[C] Essential. [D] Worthless.
【答案】 A
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词前文的“frankly ridiculous”和后文的“So what should we be using instead ”可知,此处指仅用BMI来评估健康是有缺陷的,A项符合题意。故选A。
(　　)33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
[A] The types of fat.
[B] The impact of fat.
[C] The functions of fat.
[D] The composition of fat.
【答案】 C
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第二段,尤其是根据第二句可知,这一段主要在讲脂肪的功能。故选C。
(　　)34.What can be inferred about the visceral fat
[A] It is the most harmful fat in the body.
[B] Too much of it may lead to health issues.
[C] It is closely related to metabolic disorders.
[D] Removing it can lower the risk of diseases.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知,过多的内脏脂肪可能会导致健康问题。故选B。
(　　)35.What might be discussed in the following paragraphs
[A] The comparison between the SAD and other measures.
[B] The advantages of using the BMI over other measures.
[C] Personal experiences about the weight loss journeys.
[D] Detailed explanations of the alternative method SAD.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,此处仅简单提到SAD测量法,下文可能会进一步介绍SAD这种测量方法。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For many people,back pain can make it difficult to function in everyday life.It affects how you move,feel and think,leaving you with no choice but to take some kind of action to relieve the pain.36.　　　,instead of being reactive.
Move more.
Our bodies need adequate movements throughout the day to keep joints mobile and blood flowing through our muscles to avoid the inflexibility that contributes to aches and pains.
37.　　　. If the weather is good,don’t hunt for the parking spot nearest to a store;don’t take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs.When you need to sit for long periods,set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes.
38.　　　.
When we overuse our dominant side,we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain and the likelihood of injury—especially in our backs.Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side:opening doors,
carrying a bag,holding a leash to walk your dog,etc.
Correct imbalances.
Just as you switch sides to balance out your body,you should also be aware of and correct imbalances in movements meant to be symmetrical(对称的).39.　　　.Our bodies are designed to perform these activities in a balanced,alternating and interactive pattern.If your back hurts at the end of the day,don’t just decide it was a “bad” day.40.　　　.Taking a proactive,daily-life approach to cultivating a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.
A.Switch sides
B.Treat injuries
C.This is especially true for back muscles
D.They are greatly beneficial to the muscles
E.You can take small daily steps to proactively avoid back pain
F.These include walking,running,cycling,swimming and so on
G.Ask yourself if you practised the activities that help you avoid the stress and tension causing you discomfort
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍的是如何采取一些积极的措施来防止背部疼痛。
36.【答案】 E
【解析】 由上文“For many people,back pain can make ...to relieve the pain.”可知,这里主要讲背痛对生活的影响;而E项讲可以每天采取一些小步骤来主动避免背痛,符合语境,承上启下。故选E。
37.【答案】 C
【解析】 由上文“Our bodies need adequate movements ... that contributes to aches and pains.”可知,这里主要讲通过运动来避免疼痛;C项符合语境,其中muscles与上文呼应。故选C。
38.【答案】 A
【解析】 由下文“When we overuse ...to walk your dog,etc.”可知,本段主要讲我们如果一直让身体一边受力工作,可能会造成疼痛;A项符合语境,与下文“...shift your weight to one side...”对应,对下文有概括作用。故选A。
39.【答案】 F
【解析】 由上文“Just as you switch sides...to be symmetrical(对称的).”和下一句中的“...perform these activities...”可知,此处要讲的是哪些运动可以纠正身体的失衡;F项符合语境,其中walking,running,cycling,swimming and so on 与下文these activities 对应。故选F。
40.【答案】 G
【解析】 由下文“Taking a proactive,daily-life approach ...keeping back pain at bay.”可知,我们应采用良好的日常生活方式来培养健康的身体;G项符合语境,其中“...avoid the stress and tension causing you discomfort.”与下文 keeping back pain at bay 对应,符合语境。
故选G。

【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章阐述了关于睡眠的调查以及熬夜的危害。
56.【答案】 surveyed
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。动词survey和young Chinese之间是动宾关系,此处应用过去分词作后置定语。故填surveyed。
57.【答案】 was conducted
【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。结合上文可知,此处是描述过去发生的事情,且主语survey和动词conduct之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是名词单数,be动词用was。故填was conducted。
58.【答案】 from
【解析】 考查介词。“range from...to...”意为“在……到……范围内变动”,为固定搭配。故填from。
59.【答案】 normally
【解析】 考查副词。修饰动词sleep,应用副词形式。故填normally。
60.【答案】 problems
【解析】 考查名词复数。problem是可数名词,other后接可数名词复数。故填problems。
61.【答案】 harmful
【解析】 考查形容词。设空处应用形容词作表语,be harmful to意为“对……有害”。故填harmful。
62.【答案】 is
【解析】 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处是描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,动名词短语作主语,be动词用is。故填is。
63.【答案】 the
【解析】 考查定冠词。根据“of cancer,diabetes and depression”可知,名词risk是特指,应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
64.【答案】 which
【解析】 考查定语从句。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“risk of cancer,diabetes and depression”,关系词在从句中作主语,应用which。故填which。
65.【答案】 to remind
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,It是形式主语,此处应用动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to remind。

Hello,everyone!
I feel honored to share the topic “Protect Our Eyes” with you.Nowadays,more and more teenagers are becoming short-sighted,which arouses great concern among parents.
For one thing,being exposed too much to electronic devices is the greatest threat.For another,improper eye care habits,including overusing our eyes and incorrect reading positions,also contribute to the problem.Facing such a serious problem,we should take immediate action to get rid of those bad habits and engage ourselves in more outdoor activities.
Let’s protect the window of our soul and enjoy the colourful world together!Thank you!
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,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。
As this term began,I found a new student in my class named Ian Bonus,16 years old.He was silent,always doing business alone.From his file,I learnt that Ian was born abroad,and spent all his childhood there until his family moved to England.It wasn’t as smooth and easy as he imagined.He had to learn and speak a new language so as to communicate with others.When at school,he tended to avoid crowds.He usually tried every possible means to keep his mouth shut,even in class.Besides,after class,he didn’t join any clubs or activities even though everyone around him invited him to have a try.
At the beginning,I thought Ian was just a little shy at his age especially in a new place.However,later he still didn’t say a single word when classmates got along well.Having ever dealt with such similar situation myself,I felt I had the suitable experience and the right responsibility to encourage him to melt into our class.Finally,a chance came.One day,in my class,it was Ian’s turn to make a short speech as other students did regularly.But he just stood up,saying nothing.Then I could feel his face turning red with embarrassment.Next class,we had a P.E.lesson on the court.Again,he didn’t join his classmates,just sitting on the bench and watching others play.Learning that he was fond of sports and was actually a very athletic and energetic person,I felt a strong desire to persuade him to play together.With this thought in mind,I walked over and sat aside Ian.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“Hello,Ian,why not join us in playing badminton ” I smiled,“I know you can play well.”
Paragraph 2:
The next morning,Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech he missed the day before.

　　One possible version:
“Hello,Ian,why not join us in playing badminton ” I smiled,“I know you can play well.” However,he shook his head and smiled shyly.Then I told him it was common for a newcomer and I could understand how he was feeling.I hoped he could tell me the reason and be more active.He was moved and told me that it was because of his lack of confidence to speak English in front of others and his fear of being teased.Then I encouraged him to seize every chance to practise and later we decided on some useful tips.
The next morning,Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech he missed the day before.“Hello,everyone.I’m Ian Bonus.Before my speech,I’d like to express my sincere thanks to you all,especially our teacher.” He then proceeded to deliver a flawless and engaging speech with remarkable fluency.Since then,Ian has been actively participating in every discussion in class and has even joined an after-school sports club,making new friends along the way.Whether on the court or during speeches,confident smiles were always on his face.

A
Have you got tired of exercising Here are some ways to make exercise exciting again.
Kickboxing
While kickboxing may not be the easiest exercise in the world,it does cause you to begin using a new way to burn calories.Not only is it a great aerobic exercise (有氧运动),but also it has been suggested that kickboxing actually can help improve your mental health.
Fitness classes
Fitness classes are no longer “your mum’s aerobic classes”.In fact,some fitness classes are harder than usual workouts.Check your local gyms to see what types of diverse classes they can offer.
Yoga
Yoga has continued to gain more and more popularity.Not only does yoga help you increase flexibility but it leads to a healthier mind.A new study done by the Yoga Journal shows that there are now over 50 million people in America who practise yoga on a regular basis.
CrossFit(混合健身)
We have made a promise that we would never try these impossible exercises at home.
While there is still an ongoing debate about whether or not CrossFit is safe,there are still people actively running CrossFit gyms.Instead of sitting back and getting opinions about CrossFit from people who may have done it before,give it a try.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种运动方式。
(　　)21.Why would people try kickboxing
[A] To burn calories in a new way.
[B] To exercise anywhere they like.
[C] To do the easiest exercise.
[D] To increase the flexibility of their body.
(　　)22.What can we learn from the new study of the Yoga Journal
[A] Yoga is easy to practise.
[B] Yoga is popular in America.
[C] Yoga is well received by women.
[D] Yoga should be practised regularly.

Keeping kids busy with various activities provides them with a well-rounded social life.In the process of my growing up,I knew many teenagers who were actively involved in both sports and student unions.Those teenagers all ended up going to college and graduating.This may not be the situation in all cases,but from what I have noticed,teens who stay active and do good in the community are typically the ones who deal with anxiety and depression better.
A study published by professor of biology Theodore Garland concluded,“If kids exercise regularly through the school years,they may be more likely to exercise as adults,which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise tendencies will require reinforcement
(强化) and maintenance if they are to be long-lasting.” This study found that along with physical activity,having a spirit of adventure would also help improve children’s physical and mental health.
Some parents disagree.They feel that pushing a child to stay active and involved causes unnecessary stress and can have the opposite effect,making him/her hate being involved or being active.Parents also fear their children will experience failure,which they believe could lead to low self-confidence.
The key to helping the youth stay motivated is not pressuring them too hard.People who have strict parents typically rebel(反抗) or feel they will never be good enough.Keep in mind that encouraging the youth to be competitive isn’t the best thing.Some of the unhappiest people I have met are competitive.Positive reinforcement is the best way to keep people motivated.
An active and involved youth will show personal qualities that will become useful in the future.Some of these include leadership,teamwork,a healthy lifestyle,respect and trust,which will lead to success in the future.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了让孩子们积极参加各种活动的好处以及不要给青少年太大压力以保持他们的积极性的重要性。
(　　)24.According to the author,what do we know about active teens
[A] They get much better education.
[B] They concentrate more on self-improvement.
[C] They do well in both sports and management.
[D] They deal with some mental problems better than others.
(　　)25.What did the study in Paragraph 2 imply
[A] The positive effect of early-life exercise is not necessarily lasting.
[B] Physical activity helps children become more confident.
[C] Early-life exercise has positive effects on relationships.
[D] School life experience has a long-lasting influence.
(　　)26.Why are some parents against teens’ being active
[A] They believe it may take a lot of time.
[B] They think it is unnecessary to push kids.
[C] They are worried about the opposite effect.
[D] They are afraid it makes their children feel depressed.
(　　)27.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
[A] The importance of trusting the youth.
[B] The key to keeping the youth motivated.
[C] The possible problem faced by the youth.
[D] The reasons for helping the youth stay positive.
C
An hour’s extra sleep a night can shave 270 calories off people’s daily diets,new research suggests—the equivalent of around three chocolate digestive biscuits.Over three years,this could lead to a weight loss of 26 pounds—simply by sleeping more,the researchers said.
A team from the University of Chicago wanted to look at how sleep interacts with obesity and so carried out a clinical trial with 80 adults.Writing in the journal Jama Internal Medicine,
they found that young,overweight adults who habitually slept fewer than 6.5 hours a night were able to add an extra 1.2 hours of sleep per night after undergoing counselling to improve their sleeping habits.
The results showed that getting more sleep reduced people’s overall intake by an average of 270 calories per day,with some people consuming 500 fewer calories.Dr Esra Tasali,from the University of Chicago’s sleep centre,said the study had not intended to look at weight loss.
“But even within just two weeks,we have quantified evidence showing a decrease in caloric intake and a negative energy balance—caloric intake is less than calories burnt,” she said.“If healthy sleep habits are kept over longer period,this would lead to clinically important weight loss over time.Many people are working hard to find ways to decrease their caloric intake to lose weight—well,just by sleeping more,you may be able to reduce it considerably.”
The study did not attempt to restrict people’s diets.Instead,people slept in their own beds,followed a normal lifestyle without any instructions on diet or exercise,and their sleep was tracked by wearable devices.Dr Tasali said that limiting the use of devices such as mobile phones before bedtime helped people get more sleep.She added,“We saw that after just a single sleep counselling session,participants could change their bedtime habits enough to lead to an increase in sleep time.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。研究发现,每天多睡一小时可以消耗更多的卡路里。文章介绍了该项研究开展的过程。
(　　)28.Why did the researchers carry out the study
[A] To find how to reduce weight.
[B] To know the proper sleep time.
[C] To learn about healthy sleep habits.
[D] To study the link between sleep and obesity.
(　　)29.What’s Dr Tasali’s attitude to the findings of the study
[A] Doubtful. [B] Confident.
[C] Negative. [D] Ambiguous.
(　　)30.What can we infer from the last paragraph
[A] Participants should go on a restricted diet and do more exercise.
[B] Limiting the use of digital devices is the best way to get enough sleep.
[C] Participants’ sleep was tracked without disturbing their normal lifestyle.
[D] A single sleep counselling session is useless for participants to change.
(　　)31.What’s a suitable title of the text
[A] A Strange Way to Lose Your Weight
[B] Young and Overweight Adults Need More Sleep
[C] Forming a Regular Sleep Habit Is Good for Your Health
[D] Cut 270 Calories by Sleeping for an Extra Hour Every Night
D
We all know that being overweight is not great for your health—it’s linked to metabolic
(新陈代谢的) diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.But weighing yourself won’t tell you all you need to know about your disease risk.A friend of mine is a super-fit marathon runner.She’s all lean muscle.And yet according to her body mass index (BMI),which is a measure of weight relative to height,she’s overweight.Which is frankly ridiculous.The BMI is deficient.So what should we be using instead
First,let’s talk about fat—the most demonized of all body components.Fat is stored in adipose tissue (脂肪组织), which has some really important roles.It conserves energy,
maintains our body temperature,and serves as a protective layer for our organs.It also produces a whole host of important substances,from hormones that control our appetite to chemicals that influence the way our immune systems work.
However,not all fat is equal.It’s the visceral fat—the type surrounding your organs—that is thought to be more harmful to your health,if there’s too much of it.Having more visceral fat has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.(That relationship isn’t straightforward either,though;studies have shown that removing this “excess” fat doesn’t improve metabolic health.) Either way,having a good idea of how much fat is in your body,and where it is,would be valuable.It might at least give us some idea of our risk of metabolic disorders.There are quite a few different ways of measuring this.
BMI is the most widely adopted.It’s the official measure the World Health Organization uses to define overweight and obesity.Unfortunately,it doesn’t tell you very much about the fat in your body or how it corresponds to your health.After all,your body weight includes your bones,muscles,blood,and everything else,not just your fat.Instead,Emma B rgeson,who studies cardiometabolic disease at Aarhus University in Denmark,and her colleagues recommend the SAD measure,a measure of the size of a person’s belly from back to front.
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章讨论了体重与健康风险的关系,指出仅依赖体重指数(BMI)来评估健康是有缺陷的。
(　　)32.What does the underlined word “deficient” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Faulty. [B] Accurate.
[C] Essential. [D] Worthless.
(　　)33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
[A] The types of fat.
[B] The impact of fat.
[C] The functions of fat.
[D] The composition of fat.
(　　)34.What can be inferred about the visceral fat
[A] It is the most harmful fat in the body.
[B] Too much of it may lead to health issues.
[C] It is closely related to metabolic disorders.
[D] Removing it can lower the risk of diseases.
(　　)35.What might be discussed in the following paragraphs
[A] The comparison between the SAD and other measures.
[B] The advantages of using the BMI over other measures.
[C] Personal experiences about the weight loss journeys.
[D] Detailed explanations of the alternative method SAD.

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For many people,back pain can make it difficult to function in everyday life.It affects how you move,feel and think,leaving you with no choice but to take some kind of action to relieve the pain.36.　　　,instead of being reactive.
Move more.
Our bodies need adequate movements throughout the day to keep joints mobile and blood flowing through our muscles to avoid the inflexibility that contributes to aches and pains.
37.　　　. If the weather is good,don’t hunt for the parking spot nearest to a store;don’t take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs.When you need to sit for long periods,set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes.
38.　　　.
When we overuse our dominant side,we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain and the likelihood of injury—especially in our backs.Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side:opening doors,
carrying a bag,holding a leash to walk your dog,etc.
Correct imbalances.
Just as you switch sides to balance out your body,you should also be aware of and correct imbalances in movements meant to be symmetrical(对称的).39.　　　.Our bodies are designed to perform these activities in a balanced,alternating and interactive pattern.If your back hurts at the end of the day,don’t just decide it was a “bad” day.40.　　　.Taking a proactive,daily-life approach to cultivating a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.
A.Switch sides
B.Treat injuries
C.This is especially true for back muscles
D.They are greatly beneficial to the muscles
E.You can take small daily steps to proactively avoid back pain
F.These include walking,running,cycling,swimming and so on
G.Ask yourself if you practised the activities that help you avoid the stress and tension causing you discomfort
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍的是如何采取一些积极的措施来防止背部疼痛。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,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。
As this term began,I found a new student in my class named Ian Bonus,16 years old.He was silent,always doing business alone.From his file,I learnt that Ian was born abroad,and spent all his childhood there until his family moved to England.It wasn’t as smooth and easy as he imagined.He had to learn and speak a new language so as to communicate with others.When at school,he tended to avoid crowds.He usually tried every possible means to keep his mouth shut,even in class.Besides,after class,he didn’t join any clubs or activities even though everyone around him invited him to have a try.
At the beginning,I thought Ian was just a little shy at his age especially in a new place.However,later he still didn’t say a single word when classmates got along well.Having ever dealt with such similar situation myself,I felt I had the suitable experience and the right responsibility to encourage him to melt into our class.Finally,a chance came.One day,in my class,it was Ian’s turn to make a short speech as other students did regularly.But he just stood up,saying nothing.Then I could feel his face turning red with embarrassment.Next class,we had a P.E.lesson on the court.Again,he didn’t join his classmates,just sitting on the bench and watching others play.Learning that he was fond of sports and was actually a very athletic and energetic person,I felt a strong desire to persuade him to play together.With this thought in mind,I walked over and sat aside Ian.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“Hello,Ian,why not join us in playing badminton ” I smiled,“I know you can play well.”
Paragraph 2:
The next morning,Ian volunteered to step onto the platform to make up for the speech he missed the day before.
