Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks,strokes,lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog.The bination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(废气),and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.【解题导语】本文介绍了冬季户外跑步的意义和方法。冬季户外跑步能燃烧更多的热量,让肌肉更强健,心脏更健康,但是应当避免在雾霾时进行户外活动。8.How does cold weather benefit runners,pared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B.They can take in more calories.C.Their hearts can function harder.D.Their body temperature can get lower.答案C解析细节理解题。由题干关键词“benefit”和“pared with warm weather”可将答案定位至第二段的最后一句“Similarly.makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.”由此可知,与温暖的天气相比,在寒冷的天气里户外跑步能使心脏更健康,故C项正确。9.How does summer affect runners?A.It builds up their energy quickly.B.It makes runners tired easily.C.It lessens runners stress.D.It causes heart attacks.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的“The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster”可知,夏季的炎热和湿气容易让跑步的人很快就感到疲劳,故B项正确。10.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A.Stop driving cars.B.Do more exercise.C.Avoid outdoor exercise.D.Run late in the morning.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.”可知,如果有雾霾,最好待在室内,等到天气晴朗时再去跑步,故C项正确。 11.What can be the best title of the text?A.Refresh with a Winter RunB.Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC.Go to Run in a ParkD.Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress答案A解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了冬季早晨户外跑步的意义和方法。冬季跑步能燃烧更多的热量,让肌肉更强健,心脏更健康,但是应当避免在雾霾天气进行户外活动。据此可以判断,A项最能概括文意,故A项正确。D体裁:议论文词数:315用时:7分钟(2017重庆西北狼教育联盟第一期联考)Many people delight in gossiping,and the more they know about someone else,the more powerful they feelat someone elses expense.While at the end of the day no good will e of it and someone is bound to get hurt,try telling that to someone whos excited to relay the latest piece of juicy news.Most people have some awareness when saying something we know we shouldnt.As it is slipping out of our mouths,we start to feel unfortable.We have a sense of conflict between finishing the sentence that may draw attention but wont make anyone look good and awkwardly stopping mid-story.There are those who after spreading gossip end with a well-meaning,“I shouldnt have said anything and I cant really tell you how I heard it.” Not any better.Once out,they may feel good for a moment,but theyre just as likely to regret their decision.By this time,it is too late.That said,some people just dont notice or pay attention to the voice in their head saying “Dont”,and others actively ignore it.In the end,the results are the same.With our lack of sensitivity,we say things that should never be said and often dont stop long enough to realize that we have not only hurt others,but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves.Given this,why do people gossip?For some,it feels good to be in control of knowledge that others may not know.Talking about others can bee a habit and unless you work hard to break it,you may discover that others distance themselves from you.After all,if you cant be trusted to keep secrets and not share information,people may choose not to have you as their friend.We have two ears and just one mouth.When in doubt,it is always better to listen than to speak.【解题导语】本文主要论述了有些人热衷于说闲话的原因,并说明这种习惯的坏处以及如何改正这一不良习惯。12.Whats the closest meaning of the underlined word “relay”?A.showB.coverC.spreadD.get答案C解析词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“someone whos excited to”和“the latest piece of juicy news”可知,尽管这到头来没有什么好处,并且有人很可能会受到伤害,但是人们还是试图告诉某个热衷于传播最新有趣消息的人。据此可以判断,画线词意为“传播”,故C项正确。13.Which statement is NOT the reason for people being conscious of saying something they know they shouldnt?A.They feel not good when they leak out it.B.They arent interested in it.C.They have a sense of conflict during saying it.D.They probably regret saying it.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“As it is slipping out of our mouths,we start to feel unfortable.”可知,一旦说出口,我们便感到不舒服;根据第二段第三句中的“We have a sense of conflict”可知,我们对是否要说出口会感到很矛盾:根据第二段的倒数第二句“Once out,they may feel good for a moment,but theyre just as likely to regret their decision.”可知,他们会对说出去的话感到后悔。B项没有提及,故选B项。14.Why do people say something that should never be said and can hurt others?A.Because they want to hurt others.B.Because they hate this kind of people.C.Because they dont know each other well.D.Because they are lack of sensitivity.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句“With our lack of sensitivity,we say things that should never be said and often dont stop long enough to realize that we have not only hurt others,but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves.”可知,由于我们缺乏敏感性,所以我们才会说出不应该说的话,故D项正确。15.From the last paragraph,we can know that.A.we should speak less and listen moreB.we cant keep secretsC.we havent many friendsD.we should talk about others as much as possible答案A解析细节理解题。根据最后一句“When in doubt,it is always better to listen than to speak.”可知,我们应当多听少说,故A项正确。根据最后一段的第二句“After all,if you cant be trusted to keep secrets and not share information,people may choose not to have you as their friend.”可知,我们应当保守秘密,不要随意传播信息,否则会丧失朋友,故B、C、D三项错误。第二节体裁文:说明文词数:237用时:7分钟Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park,you will

you decide an hour beforehand that youre going to see a show,you will likely end up not getting a good seat,unless the park is not very busy.17Do your research.Research online:“The best places to view.”18Some of them may even be less known,so you may not deal with such a big crowd.Arrive to the event early.19Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day.If you arrive ten

in advance.”并结合空前一句的内容可知,该段主要介绍选好位置的方法之一:提前做好观看演出的计划,故F项与此处匹配。18.G根据空前一句中的“The best places to view.”可知,选G项“你将会看到公园里观看演出的最佳位置的列表”。19.E根据该段标题“Arrive to the event early.”和空后一句的内容可知,空处主要介绍提前到达演出现场这一方法,故E项符合文意。20.A根据空处所在位置可知,空处为该段标题,是该段的主旨;根据该段中的“make sure that its extremely quick,and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away”可知,该段主要介绍“要待在座位上,如需出去,可由伙伴占座”的方法,故A项最适合做该段标题。
