She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a oneroom school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughters new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did, ” Alexia said. “The experience was so eyeopening and lifechanging. Youre with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but theyre so happy and outgoing. You say, My God. Im taking everything for granted back home.”She said they built a oneroom school from_scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“Armatos worries are very common among parents, ” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. Georges High School. He organizes a humanitarian trip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 年仅16岁的高中女孩Alexia和她的同学及老师一起飞往偏远的发展中国家参加志愿者活动。 回来后， 她的母亲发现她成熟且独立了。 Montreal中学的这项志愿者活动促进了学生的成长和发展。 1When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _.Aproud and happyBsupportive but concernedCfearful and nervous Dexcited but puzzledB解析： 细节理解题。 根据第一段第二句“She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.”可知， Armato对于她的女儿去Ecuador一事感到高兴， 因为女儿能经历到她不曾经历的东西， 所以她支持她的女儿； 但是让一个女孩去这么遥远的地方她又有点担心。 故B项正确。 2The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”Ahaving great help Busing high technologyCending up in failure Dstarting from the beginningD解析： 词义猜测题。 根据画线词后面的内容“with no mechanical cement mixers” 以及下一句“They used their hands, shovels and basic tools.”并结合语境可知， 他们建造了一所只有一间房间的学校， 没有使用机械水泥搅拌机， 只是用他们的双手、 铁铲和最基本的工具。 结合四个选项可知， 画线短语意思与D项“从头开始”相符合。 故D项正确。 3According to Alexia, people living in poor conditions are _.Aunfortunate and sad Bcheerful and sociableCmiserable and strange Dabnormal but happyB解析： 细节理解题。 根据第三段Alexia所讲的内容中的“They live in very poor conditions but theyre so happy and outgoing.”可知， 虽然他们的生活条件很艰苦， 但是他们开心且友好。 故B项正确。 4What would be the best title for the text?AVolunteering Helps Students Grow and DevelopBSchool Trips Make Parents Worried about Their ChildrenCEcuador Is the Most Attractive Travel Destination in the WorldDBrave Alexia Dreams to Work in Ecuador One DayA解析： 标题概括题。 根据第三段第一句“Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughters new maturity, greater confidence and independence.”及倒数第二段“Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.”可知， 每年Montreal高中都有很多学生自愿去发展中国家帮助其开展各种各样的项目， 通过这个志愿活动， 他们得到了成长和发展。 故A项最能概括本文的主旨， 适合做标题； B项仅说明了文章的一个方面， 不能全面地概括文意； C、 D两项与文章无关。 故A项正确。 B(2016济南3月模拟)If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1, 000 joggers and nonjoggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as nonjoggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)Over time, this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and longdistance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You dont actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldnt actually do too much.”【解题导语】最新的一项科学研究显示： 从事剧烈运动的人与根本不锻炼的人的死亡几率是一样的， 而适度的锻炼会有益于健康。5The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_”AhardBregularCpractical DflexibleA解析： 词义猜测题。 由上下文语境可知， 此处指像马拉松一样的锻炼， 所以strenuous应与hard意思相近， 表示“艰苦的， 费力的”。 regular“定时的”； practical“实用的”； flexible“灵活的”； 均不符合语意。6. The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to_.Asuggest giving up joggingBshow risks of doing sportsCprovide supportive evidenceDintroduce the research processC解析： 写作手法题。 作者在第二段中采用了列数字的方法， 是为了提供支持的证据， 能更有力地说明第一段的研究结论。7According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?AIt may injure the heart and arteries.BIt can make the body tired out.CIt will bring much pressure.DIt consumes too much energy.A解析： 细节理解题。 根据第二段的最后两句“The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes.serious injuries.”可知， 剧烈运动会导致心脏和动脉结构发生变化， 从而有损健康。8What can be inferred from the text?ANo exercise at all is the best choice.BMore exercise means a healthier life.CMarathons runners are least likely to die.DProper exercise contributes to good health.D解析： 推理判断题。 根据最后两段可知， 过度锻炼不仅没有必要， 而且还可能有害， 适当的锻炼会更有助于健康。.七选五(2016青岛市统一考试)Organizing Your TimeYou can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money.Since youre trying to reduce worry rather than increase it, go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使最大化) your personal time, rather than cramming as much as you can into each day.Set a sleep schedule.1._ Give yourself a onehour target for bedtime in the evening, and set a strict time to get up in the morning.

Plan time for daily health care, commuting(乘公交上下班往返), work, shopping, eating, and chores (日常事务).
