【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。 Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹) from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures(雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques(精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
(1)The underlined word "gladiators" in the 2nd paragraph probably means "_____".
A.athletes
B.butchers

(3)What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph?

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Next autumn when you see wild geese heading south for the winter flying in a V formation, you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift(提升) for the bird immediately following. By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flies on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another.
When a wild goose falls out of the formation,it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired,it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it is people or wild geese flying south.
Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. What can we learn from this?
When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots,and falls out of the formation,two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies,and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.
(1)Wild geese fly in a V formation in order to________.
A.protect themselves from danger
B.fly more quickly and easily
C.help the sick and wounded
D.fly much higher in the sky
(2)What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?
A.We should try to lead others to move forward.
B.We should give people facing difficulties encouragement.
C.We should believe in those who offer us help.
D.We should care more about the old and sick.
(3)When a wild goose becomes sick or is wounded,________.
A.it will be left alone and will fall on the ground
B.the whole group will stop flying
C.two other geese will stay with it to offer help
D.other geese will honk to give it encouragement
(4)What do we know from the passage?
A.A wild goose can help the one following it by flapping its wings.
B.A person who works alone can work better than one who doesn't.
C.It is not good for wild geese to take turns being the head goose.
D.The wild geese that fall behind are unlikely to catch up with their group.

【题目】Three Simple Ways to Make Exercise a Habit
A lot of people want to build an exercise habit that sticks. Of course, wanting to make exercise a habit and actually doing it are two different things. Changing your behavior is difficult. Living a new type of lifestyle is hard. This is especially true when you throw in very personal feelings about body image and self-worth. 【1】 Here are three simple ways to make exercise a habit.
Develop a ritual to make starting easier.
Habits are behaviors that you repeat over and over again, which means they are also behaviors that you start over and over again. 【2】 In many ways, building new habits is simply an exercise in getting started time after time.
【3】
The best way to make exercise a habit is to start with an exercise that is so easy that you can do it even when you are running low on willpower and motivation. In the words of an expert, start with something that is so easy you can't say no.
Focus on the habit first and the results later.
【4】 Most people start with some type of goal. This is the wrong approach. It's better to focus on the system rather than the goal. What matters most in the beginning is establishing a new normal and building you will stick to; not the results that you get. In other words, in the first 6 months it is more important to not miss workouts than it is to make progress. 【5】
A. Exercise even when you're “too tired”.
B. Start with an exercise that is ridiculously small.
C. The typical approach to diet and exercise is to focus on results first.
D. It is more important not to miss taking exercise than to make progress.
E. In other words, if you don't consistently get started, then you won't have a habit.
F. Both there are some strategies that can make it easier to stick with an exercise habit.
G. Once you become the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts, then you can worry about making progress and improving.
