Since the modern Olympics began in 1896,it has been held in more than 40 different cities.
That gives Olympic fans quite a few possible travel destinations to choose!
Beijing,China
Olympic fans should consider visiting the Beijing Olympic Park to check out the special buildings of the so-called “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube”,built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.Popular historic places in Beijing include the Forbidden City,the Summer Palace,and Tian’anmen Square.
Innsbruck,Austria
Located in the heart of the Alps,Innsbruck is known as a great winter destination,which explains why it has hosted not one but two Winter Olympics.Known for its mountainous views,Innsbruck is the perfect stop for outdoor adventurers.
Mexico City,Mexico
This wonderful travel destination offers a wide number of popular museums,historic buildings,and public parks.People will love shopping for fresh meat,taking a cooking class,and generally eating on their way through Mexico City,which is especially known for its culinary (烹饪的) experiences that include both globally well-known restaurants and locally favoured street food carts.
Melbourne,Australia
Nearly half a century before Sydney hosted the 2000 Summer Olympics,Melbourne became the first Australian host city in 1956.As the “cultural capital of Australia”,located in Victoria on the southeastern coast,with an energetic cafe culture and art scenes,Melbourne offers something for every type of traveller and everyone can enjoy an evening at one of the city’s many rooftop bars or a day of wine tasting.

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet,I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realised running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At kilometre 3,I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”
By kilometre 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By kilometre 21,I was starving!
As I approached the finish line,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished! And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels (标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

After over 400 years,William Shakespeare(1564—1616) is still widely celebrated as a great craftsman of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616,and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre.While less famous worldwide,Tang Xianzu is rightly considered one of China’s greatest playwrights and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan,Jiangxi Province,and worked as a government official until,in 1598,he retired to focus on writing.Unlike Shakespeare having plenty of plays and poems,Tang wrote only four major plays:The Purple Hairpin,A Dream Under the Southern Bough,Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion—widely considered to be his masterpieces.In the latter three plays,much of the story is told through dream sequences.Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time.It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644) and his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime.As in Shakespeare’s England,it became hugely popular in China,with public theatres opening in different cities and travelling performance groups becoming common.Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces,and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces.However,unlike in Shakespeare’s England,there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.
During this time,the way in which dramas were enjoyed,spread and performed also changed.Initially,Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form,to be read like novels.They were seldom,if ever,performed.However,from the mid-16th century,Kunqu Opera,a form of musical drama,spread from the south of China and became a symbol of Chinese culture.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other,they have in common the humanity of their dramas,their heroic figures,their love for language,the lasting popularity—and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了与莎士比亚同时代的中国伟大的剧作家汤显祖的代表作和他的作品的特点,以及他所处时代的中国戏剧的相关情况。
(　　)28.Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang
[A] To compare the writing styles of the writers.
[B] To emphasise Tang’s importance in literature.
[C] To assess the achievements of these two great writers.
[D] To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.
(　　)29.What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays
[A] It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.
[B] It is widely considered to be his best work.
[C] It is the only play to be publicly performed.
[D] It challenges the feudal system of ancient China.
(　　)30.What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatres during Tang’s lifetime
[A] Music and poetry were present in most performances.
[B] The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.
[C] Different social classes often attended the same performances.
[D] Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than to be performed.
(　　)31.Which of the following would the author probably agree with
[A] Tang’s plays are as remarkable as his poems.

Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity per day could lower your risk of cancer,cardiovascular (心血管的) disease or premature death,a new study has found.
Aerobic activities include walking,dancing,running,jogging,cycling and swimming.You can calculate the intensity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you’re breathing as you move.Generally,being able to talk but not sing during an activity would make it moderate (中等的) intensity.Vigorous intensity is marked by the inability to carry on a conversation.
Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature death and chronic disease,according to a past research.But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine.To explore this impact,scientists largely from the University of Cambridge looked at the data from 196 studies,amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average.
The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week,or 22 minutes per day.Compared with inactive participants,adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause,a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.
Furthermore,the study states even people who got just half the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited.Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week—about 11 minutes of activity per day—was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death.Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.
The findings confirm the World Health Organisation’s position that doing some physical activity is better than doing none,even if you don’t get the recommended amounts of exercise.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项研究的新发现,即每天只需11分钟的中高强度有氧运动便对身体健康有积极的影响;而且,即便没有达到建议的运动量,进行一些体育活动也是有益的。
(　　)32.What can you do in a moderate-intensity aerobic activity
[A] Have a chat.
[B] Break into songs.
[C] Calculate its influence.
[D] Adjust your mind mode.
(　　)33.Which word can best describe the findings of the new study
[A] Subjective. [B] Unclear.
[C] Debatable. [D] Convincing.
(　　)34.What is the smallest recommended amount of exercise on a daily basis
[A] 150 minutes. [B] 75 minutes.
[C] 22 minutes. [D] 11 minutes.
(　　)35.What message does the author seem to convey in the text
[A] Higher levels of physical activity benefit people.
[B] A little exercise is better than none.
[C] Physical activity must be aerobic and enough.
[D] The full recommended amount of exercise matters more.

Monday started out well.I woke up on time,ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour maths test.I was confident of getting good grades.Then I left my house.Ten minutes later,I was settled with my friends on the school bus.We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend.At one stop,Ryan got on hurriedly.He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP!He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily.Ryan struggled to his feet,dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat.He tried to laugh with us,but his face was burning with embarrassment.The rest of the morning flew by.I did well in my maths test.I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class.It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell.I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away,sitting all alone.He caught me looking.I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we had finished eating,we headed out to the courtyard to practise a cheer we would do at that night’s football game.After much practice,we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly.We decided to practise it again one last time.Again,just like the rest of my day so far,the cheer was going great.I raised my leg for one last toe touch.Unluckily,I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I froze.I had no idea what to do but stand still.Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans.Trying to cover myself with my hands,I tried to laugh too,but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes。
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.

　　Last month,three friends from Norway set a new world record for visiting the most countries in a day.They made it to 19 different countries across Europe in only 24 hours,beating the 2012 world record of 17 countries.Throughout the journey,they had to follow only three simple rules:physically stand in each country,complete visits within any consecutive 24-hour period,and provide media evidence.
The three extreme travellers started their journey from Greece at midnight on September 22. From there they followed a northwestern route,passing through 18 other countries.
They managed to make their final stop in Liechtenstein,just before the 24 hours were up.And although they had time to spare at the end of the trip,bad weather conditions prevented them from making it to their 20th country,Italy.

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet,I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realised running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At kilometre 3,I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”
By kilometre 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By kilometre 21,I was starving!
As I approached the finish line,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished! And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels (标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

After over 400 years,William Shakespeare(1564—1616) is still widely celebrated as a great craftsman of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616,and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre.While less famous worldwide,Tang Xianzu is rightly considered one of China’s greatest playwrights and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan,Jiangxi Province,and worked as a government official until,in 1598,he retired to focus on writing.Unlike Shakespeare having plenty of plays and poems,Tang wrote only four major plays:The Purple Hairpin,A Dream Under the Southern Bough,Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion—widely considered to be his masterpieces.In the latter three plays,much of the story is told through dream sequences.Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time.It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644) and his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime.As in Shakespeare’s England,it became hugely popular in China,with public theatres opening in different cities and travelling performance groups becoming common.Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces,and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces.However,unlike in Shakespeare’s England,there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.
During this time,the way in which dramas were enjoyed,spread and performed also changed.Initially,Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form,to be read like novels.They were seldom,if ever,performed.However,from the mid-16th century,Kunqu Opera,a form of musical drama,spread from the south of China and became a symbol of Chinese culture.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other,they have in common the humanity of their dramas,their heroic figures,their love for language,the lasting popularity—and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了与莎士比亚同时代的中国伟大的剧作家汤显祖的代表作和他的作品的特点,以及他所处时代的中国戏剧的相关情况。
(　　)28.Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang
[A] To compare the writing styles of the writers.
[B] To emphasise Tang’s importance in literature.
[C] To assess the achievements of these two great writers.
[D] To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段,特别是最后一句可知,作者开篇通过莎士比亚引出汤显祖后,接着说明虽然汤显祖在世界上不太出名,但他被认为是中国最伟大的剧作家是理所当然的,而且他在中国这个有着古老文学和戏剧传统的国家里备受赞誉。再结合下文关于莎士比亚和汤显祖各个方面的异同点可以判断,作者在文章中提及莎士比亚是为了强调汤显祖在文学上的重要地位。故选B。
(　　)29.What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays
[A] It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.
[B] It is widely considered to be his best work.
[C] It is the only play to be publicly performed.
[D] It challenges the feudal system of ancient China.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段的第二、第三句可知,与莎士比亚撰写大量的戏剧和诗不同,汤显祖只写了四部主要的戏剧——《紫钗记》《南柯记》《邯郸记》《牡丹亭》;在后三部戏剧中,大部分故事都是通过梦境片段来讲述的。由此可知,《紫钗记》与其他三部作品的不同点是这部作品没有过度依靠梦境。故选A。
(　　)30.What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatres during Tang’s lifetime
[A] Music and poetry were present in most performances.
[B] The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.
[C] Different social classes often attended the same performances.
[D] Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than to be performed.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句可知,在汤显祖所处的时代,戏剧在英国和中国均广受欢迎,公共剧院在不同的城市开业,巡回演出团也变得普遍起来。故选B。
(　　)31.Which of the following would the author probably agree with
[A] Tang’s plays are as remarkable as his poems.
[B] Tang’s plays are more famous than Shakespeare’s.
[C] Tang is one of the best playwrights in Chinese history.
[D] Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other’s works.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“Tang Xianzu is rightly considered one of China’s greatest playwrights”可推知,作者认为汤显祖是公认的中国最伟大的剧作家之一。故选C。
D
Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity per day could lower your risk of cancer,cardiovascular (心血管的) disease or premature death,a new study has found.
Aerobic activities include walking,dancing,running,jogging,cycling and swimming.You can calculate the intensity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you’re breathing as you move.Generally,being able to talk but not sing during an activity would make it moderate (中等的) intensity.Vigorous intensity is marked by the inability to carry on a conversation.
Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature death and chronic disease,according to a past research.But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine.To explore this impact,scientists largely from the University of Cambridge looked at the data from 196 studies,amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average.
The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week,or 22 minutes per day.Compared with inactive participants,adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause,a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.
Furthermore,the study states even people who got just half the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited.Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week—about 11 minutes of activity per day—was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death.Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.
The findings confirm the World Health Organisation’s position that doing some physical activity is better than doing none,even if you don’t get the recommended amounts of exercise.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项研究的新发现,即每天只需11分钟的中高强度有氧运动便对身体健康有积极的影响;而且,即便没有达到建议的运动量,进行一些体育活动也是有益的。
(　　)32.What can you do in a moderate-intensity aerobic activity
[A] Have a chat.
[B] Break into songs.
[C] Calculate its influence.
[D] Adjust your mind mode.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,做中等强度的有氧运动时可以谈话,但是不能唱歌。故选A。
(　　)33.Which word can best describe the findings of the new study
[A] Subjective. [B] Unclear.
[C] Debatable. [D] Convincing.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,该研究团队的科学家大都来自有学术权威的剑桥大学,其参考数据范围广,被研究的参与者数量多,跟踪研究历时长。由此可推知,该研究的结果是有说服力的。故选D。
(　　)34.What is the smallest recommended amount of exercise on a daily basis
[A] 150 minutes. [B] 75 minutes.
[C] 22 minutes. [D] 11 minutes.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,每日推荐的最短运动时间为22分钟。故选C。
(　　)35.What message does the author seem to convey in the text
[A] Higher levels of physical activity benefit people.
[B] A little exercise is better than none.
[C] Physical activity must be aerobic and enough.
[D] The full recommended amount of exercise matters more.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本文介绍了一个新的研究结果表明,每天仅11分钟的中高强度的有氧运动能减少患癌症、心血管病或早逝的风险;再结合最后一段内容可知,此项研究结果旨在强调尽管11分钟不是推荐的最小运动量,但是做点运动总比完全不运动好。故选B。

【解析】 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,句子表示“时机意味着你要足够慢地转动绳子”,mean doing sth意为“意味着做某事”,因此设空处应用动名词turning,作宾语。故填turning。
62.【答案】 your
【解析】 考查代词。you和feet是所属关系,因此设空处应用形容词性物主代词your,修饰feet。故填your。
63.【答案】 faster
【解析】 考查比较级。根据语境可知,句子表示“当你跳绳时,你的心跳得更快,你的脸有一种健康的颜色”,设空处应用比较级faster。故填faster。
64.【答案】 tired
【解析】 考查形容词。设空处用形容词作表语,主语you是人,因此设空处应用-ed结尾的形容词tired,意为“感觉累的”。故填tired。
65.【答案】 the
【解析】 考查定冠词。根据语境可知,句子表示“如果你不断地练习,你可以增加你不休息跳跃的次数”,the number of意为“……的数量”,为固定搭配,因此设空处应用定冠词the。故填the。

Monday started out well.I woke up on time,ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour maths test.I was confident of getting good grades.Then I left my house.Ten minutes later,I was settled with my friends on the school bus.We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend.At one stop,Ryan got on hurriedly.He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP!He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily.Ryan struggled to his feet,dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat.He tried to laugh with us,but his face was burning with embarrassment.The rest of the morning flew by.I did well in my maths test.I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class.It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell.I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away,sitting all alone.He caught me looking.I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we had finished eating,we headed out to the courtyard to practise a cheer we would do at that night’s football game.After much practice,we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly.We decided to practise it again one last time.Again,just like the rest of my day so far,the cheer was going great.I raised my leg for one last toe touch.Unluckily,I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I froze.I had no idea what to do but stand still.Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans.Trying to cover myself with my hands,I tried to laugh too,but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes。

　　One possible version:
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily on the school bus.I thought he would join in with those laughing at me.I lowered my head,my face burning with embarrassment. However, Ryan didn’t laugh.Instead,he came up to me from behind,quickly took off his jacket and offered it to me,signalling to me to cover my torn jeans. Holding back my tears,I did want to express my thanks to him but courage failed me . I left the courtyard in total silence.
That night,after the cheer at the football game,I found Ryan. I thanked him for giving me his jacket and returned it to him.Gathering my courage ,I sincerely apologised to him for my bad behaviour on the school bus and thanked him for helping me out of trouble.Ryan,with a broad smile ,patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about it,joking he fell like that a lot.I admired his sense of humour,and realised that he was someone I could be friends with.
Honestly,Monday was a great day indeed!
点津:1为where引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the scene;
2中的lowered my head为动作描写;my face burning with embarrassment 为独立主格结构,同时也是神态描写;
3为现在分词作状语;
4courage failed me中的courage为无灵主语;
5为心理描写;
6为神态描写;
7为that引导的宾语从句。
