【解析】

本文是一篇与笑有关的说明文,介绍了笑与健康的关系,建议我们要多笑一些。

1考查时态语态。本文叙述与笑有关的话题,通篇使用一般现在时,且laugheruse构成被动关系,所以使用一般现在的被动语态is used。

2考查形容词。横线后有名词effects,可知横线上应该使用形容词beneficial做定语修饰名词effects,表示笑在不同方面对人体有很多有益的好处。

3考查主谓一致。本句谓语动词have说明主语应该用复数形式,而名词study的复数形式是studies。句意说明笑可以增强免疫系统。

4考查固定搭配。短语be likely to do sth可能做某事;句意:这种细胞让我们不太困难感染咳嗽或感冒。使用本句使用不定式to catch…。

5考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the air,关系代词that/which指代先行词the air在句中做介词in的宾语。

6考查固定搭配。形容词短语be similar to…类似;

7考查副词。在英语中,副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或者动词,本句中副词especially做副词修饰形容词helpful。

8考查形容词。本句中使用形容词stronger与后句转中better构成并列关系。

9考查动名词。本句中的like是介词,意为一样;介词的后面要接名词、代词或动名词做宾语。句意:经常笑就像是让你的心脏得到锻炼一样。

10考查固定搭配。短语as…as…一样;本句表示每天笑15分钟相当于每周三次每次笑半小时。

本文考查了时态语态,动词的时态、语态是每年的必考点,也是历年高考重点考查的项目,通常考2~3个小题。重点考查的是现在完成时、一般过去时、过去进行时、将来完成时、完成进行时等,多和语态一起考查;且通常以对话的形式出现且常出现两种时态混合在一起进行比较。时态理解不准确是考生常见的错误。把握住命题人的意图是至关重要的。一般来说,命题人在考查时态这个内容时总是设置一个语言情景来实现,所以理解语言情景是关键,同时要在这个语言环境里找到动作发生的时间或隐含的时间关系,只要理解了情景与动作的时间关系,对照选项,就不难把握命题意图。注意不要断章取义,同时还要注意时态一致。

【题目】In the United States the most popular form of folk dancing since the early days has been square dancing. In early times, when men and women worked in groups to build a barn (谷仓) or harvest crops, they danced when the work was done. The music came from the violin for the most part, but if there was no one to play a musical instrument, clapping(拍手)was used to produce the rhythm(节奏)by which to dance. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn, or in a farm kitchen.

A square is formed by four couples who stand facing the centre of the square. Each couple stand on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right.

The caller is an important part of the dance, since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in demand.

These are the names of some of the steps the dancers do: Form a square; Circle; Honour your partner; Swing your partner; Form a star. There are many more. As the callers tell the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern(图形)he calls.

Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people.

Special clothes are worn by some when dancing. This makes the dance more colourful to watch. The special clothes are different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colours with a pretty blouse. Men have coloured shirts and western trousers that they wear only when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.

Today in some parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or groups square dancing for fun.

【题目】Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

1What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Exercise makes people strong.

B. How one can get good scores in a test.

C. Exercise can help the brain develop.

D. Brain can change one’s memory.

2Why is yoga suggested for the old?

A. Because it does good to the joints of old people.

B. Because it does not increase the heart rate.

C. Because it can help learn new actions.

D. Because it can be done in groups.

3For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.

A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week

C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month
