【题目】 Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test. It checks kids’ fitness levels. Students are tested at least twice a year. In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.
There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run(耐力跑) or walk and shuttle run(折返跑). Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.
The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life. Students taking the test are really testing their limits, according to the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
China has a similar test: the physical education(PE) test. Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong. They also finish activities like the endurance run, sit-ups and the shuttle run.
However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests. The highest score is 100.For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school.In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.

本篇文章主要是讲美国的健康测试和中国的体测。美国的健康测试项目有:俯卧撑,仰卧起坐,坐位体前屈,耐力跑,折返跑。在所有项目中,获得85分及以上的学生可以获得总统的身体健康奖。而中国的体侧项目有:耐力跑,仰卧起坐,折返跑。体侧分数对于中考和高考的学生来说是很重要的,它占据30到40分。
【1】根据“In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.”可知1956年,美国总统艾森豪威尔创立了这项考试,所以历史悠久,再结合表格中“a long”可知此处缺名词,所以是“history”,故答案为history。
【2】根据“Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test.”可知不是所有的学校都必须用这个,故答案为necessary。
【3】根据文中“Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong.”可知是中国的学生每年要接受两次测试,以检查他们是否健康和强壮,结合表格“All the students ___3___ those who are disabled must take the test.”可推测出此处是除残疾人外,所有的学生都必须参加考试,所以此处是“除了”,故答案为except。
【4】根据“The highest score is 100…for senior high school”可知满分是100分,体育考试是高中入学考试的30到40分,所以此处是满分,故答案为full。
【5】根据表格中“Through the test, students are encouraged to live more healthily and actively.”,“The students are tested to see whether they are healthy and strong or not.”可知鼓励学生过健康和积极的生活和检查他们是否健康和强壮,可推测出此处是目的或者原因,此处需大写,故答案为Purpose/ Reason。

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词
Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus(集中) on our present situation.
Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination(终点). We don’t take time to truly appreciate(感激) where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.
What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues(同事). It could simply be a change of attitude(态度), such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion(晋升).
So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” “Patience is a virtue(美德).” and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation for what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.
Title | Focus on the present |
Theme | ◆To 【1】 our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now. |
Common 【2】 | ◆We do not focus on our present situation. ◆Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone to our final destination. ◆We do not 【3】 the time truly appreciating where we are today and what we already have in our lives. |
An 【4】 — our job | ◆【5】 the thought of getting promoted. All we have to do is to 【6】 our best to do our current job. ◆To be the best in our current job, we should get further education, work harder than 【7】, stop complaining and 【8】 ourselves to our job. |
Conclusion | ◆If we are 【9】, grateful for what we have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can, we can not only 【10】 in the future, but also enjoy our life every day. |

【题目】 Silk. The word itself is beautiful. The story of silk starts in China over 4,000 years ago. It is said that a cocoon(茧)fell into a woman’s tea cup. It then opened into a single thread(线). This was an important discovery. The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons of silkworms(蚕)to make clothes, both beautiful to look at and soft to touch.
Making silk was a secret in China for many years. In other countries, silk was hardly seen and valuable. Often it was worth more than gold. By the year 1 A.D., silk was sold as far west as Rome, and all along the Silk Road. It connected China with places in the Middle East and Europe. Thanks to the Silk Road, the communication between China and West was greatly improved. Centuries later, in 1522, the Spanish brought silkworms to Mexico.
Now people around the world still make many beautiful things from silk. But silk isn’t only beautiful. It looks delicate, but it’s very strong. For example, it has been used to make bicycle tires(轮胎). Silk is also light and warm. This makes it great for clothes like winter jackets.
All of this comes from a little silkworm. That is the wonder of silk.
【1】What was the important discovery about a silkworm’s cocoon?
A.It could become a thread.B.It could be made into tea cups.

【题目】 If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any leftover into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper into a recyclable waste bin; third, throw the single-use cup into a dry waste bin.
Sound difficult and annoying? You'll have to get used to it. From July 1st on, people in Shanghai are required to sort their garbage according to strict rules.
Why should we sort our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried in landfills, which may pollute the water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials. For example, wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and many other kinds of useful things. But in order to recycle garbage efficiently, we need to sort our garbage.
Can't garbage-processing companies do the sorting job focus? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the annoying task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?
【1】If you want to throw a drink bottle, which of the following dustbins should you throw in?
A.可回收物

【题目】 High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen (冷冻的) hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast (烘烤) the bread. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make better-tasting meals.
Most people get their news from high-tech sources (来源) like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.
However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip (跳过)the rest. Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you do your homework on the computer, you needn't check your spelling by yourself. However, you are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.
【1】What advantages of high-tech machines does the writer mention in the text?
A.They make more delicious meals.

【2】How many advantages does the news from high-tech sources have according to the text?
A.Two.B.Three.
C.Four.D.Five.

A.We sometimes forget the important things to say when talking on the phone.
B.We won’t miss important information while reading newspapers and magazines.
C.We can get the latest news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet.
D.When we email our friends, we are always careful to choose the right words to say.
【4】How does the writer feel about high-tech tools?
A.Easy come, easy go.B.Better late than never.
C.Every coin has two sides.D.Learn to walk before you run.
