【題目】 In some US states, gym class is changing. Many schools are focusing on getting students ready for life after high school. They are looking for ways to leave even the least athletic kids with the will and skills to keep moving. For gym teachers, that means less focus on who is best at a sport. It means less rope climbing and dodgeball(躲避球).【1】

A New Model

In one New York school district, there is no “gym” class. 【2】They include dance, self- defense and rock climbing. They include mountain biking, in-line skating, and boating.

“We want our kids…, to be active for life,” said Ron Whitcomb. He manages the physical education, or PE, program for the Victor, New York, school district.

A US law passed in 2015 increased the importance of health and fitness in education. It also gave more funding(資金) to PE programs.

Whitcomb’s program started before that law passed. 【3】Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools.

Outside the Gym

Tracy Krause teaches PE in Washington State. For a few years, she has taken students fly-fishing and rock climbing. 【4】It combines PE, English, and science into one program. “We want kids to leave with a plan for the future,” Krause said. “I think the same needs to be true about their health.”

Lifelong Skills

In Washington, D. C, all second-graders learn to ride bikes. Fourth- and seventh-graders learn parkour(跑酷). Parkour teaches students to jump, climb and roll in the fastest way they can. Sixth- graders learn how to read a compass. High schoolers swim. 【5】

Teachers hope to keep students liking, not hating, PE. That means finding sports or activities they enjoy.

A.They are also cutting back on team sports.

B.It means more bike riding and outdoor hikes.

C.Other schools are now following his program.

D.Instead there is a list of different fitness classes.

E.The school district’s goal is to teach lifelong skills.

F.She is part of her school’s “Outdoor Academy” program.

G.Kids who are not as athletic sometimes hate playing team sports.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】F

【5】E

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章主要講述了在美國(guó)的一些州，體育課正在改變。許多學(xué)校正致力于讓學(xué)生為高中畢業(yè)后的生活做好準(zhǔn)備。

【1】根據(jù)前一句“It means less rope climbing and dodgeball.( 這意味著少用繩子攀爬和躲避球)”可知，這里在解釋“新式體育課”的課程內(nèi)容會(huì)較少使用繩子攀爬項(xiàng)目和躲避球項(xiàng)目，因此可推知設(shè)空應(yīng)進(jìn)一步解釋會(huì)有哪些項(xiàng)目增加。選項(xiàng)B“It means more bike riding and outdoor hikes.( 這意味著更多的騎自行車(chē)和戶(hù)外徒步旅行。)”提及了新增加的課程內(nèi)容，且句子結(jié)構(gòu)與前一句相呼應(yīng)且形成對(duì)比，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】根據(jù)后文“They include dance, self- defense and rock climbing. They include mountain biking, in-line skating, and boating.( 其中包括舞蹈、自衛(wèi)和攀巖。它們包括山地自行車(chē)、輪滑和劃船。)”可知，這里在對(duì)“新式體育課”的課程設(shè)置進(jìn)行解釋?zhuān)以O(shè)空句應(yīng)包含“they”含義，即復(fù)數(shù)名詞。選項(xiàng) D“ Instead there is a list of different fitness classes(取而代之的是一系列不同的健身課程)”可以看作為對(duì)該句的總結(jié)，且classes對(duì)應(yīng)后文句中的they，符合語(yǔ)境搭配。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】根據(jù)后文“Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools.( 康涅狄格州、佛蒙特州和密歇根州都計(jì)劃提高體育在學(xué)校中的地位。)”可知，該句舉例是為了說(shuō)明其他學(xué)校也在效仿前文提及的Whitcom’s program，因此可推知選項(xiàng)C“Other schools are now following his program.( 其他學(xué)校也在效仿他的做法。)”符合語(yǔ)境分析。故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】根據(jù)后文“It combines PE, English, and science into one program.( 它把體育、英語(yǔ)和科學(xué)融為一體。)”可知，后文應(yīng)是解釋了設(shè)空句提及的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，既包含體育也包含學(xué)術(shù)。選項(xiàng)F“She is part of her school’s “Outdoor Academy” program.”提及了項(xiàng)目名稱(chēng)—Outdoor Academy program，符合語(yǔ)境分析。故選F項(xiàng)。

【5】根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容“In Washington, D. C, all second-graders learn to ride bikes. Fourth- and seventh-graders learn parkour. Parkour teaches students to jump, climb and roll in the fastest way they can. Sixth- graders learn how to read a compass. High schoolers swim.( 在華盛頓特區(qū)，所有的二年級(jí)學(xué)生都學(xué)習(xí)騎自行車(chē)。四年級(jí)和七年級(jí)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)跑酷。跑酷教會(huì)學(xué)生以最快的速度跳躍、攀爬和翻滾。六年級(jí)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)如何讀指南針。高中生游泳。)”提及教授的技能為ride bikes, parkour, read a compass 和swim，這些技能均為可以受益終生的技能。選項(xiàng)E“The school district’s goal is to teach lifelong skills.( 該學(xué)區(qū)的目標(biāo)是教授終身技能。)”概括了前文內(nèi)容且呼應(yīng)該部分的小標(biāo)題“Lifelong Skills”。故選E項(xiàng)。

七選五技巧—代詞邏輯亦管用

七選五考查上下文之間的銜接，而代詞使語(yǔ)篇銜接的重要手段之一，因此解題時(shí)要擅長(zhǎng)利用這一銜接手段。比如文章第3小題：

Whitcomb’s program started before that law passed. ___3___Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools.

空前一句提及“Whitcomb’s program”，空后句提及了其他學(xué)校在努力提高體育課的地位，兩句話能夠放在同一段落，說(shuō)明需要銜接，而選項(xiàng)C “Other schools are now following his program.”中的代詞短語(yǔ)other schools 即為下文中的their schools；his problem即為前文的Whitcomb’s program。選項(xiàng)C中的代詞承前啟后，很好地將前后兩句銜接。因此本空的答案為C項(xiàng)。

【題目】Fashion and Identity

For hundreds of years people have put some message in the type of clothing they wore. Long ago people started wanting to stand out from the “crowd” and be different from other people by means of changing their clothing. Some examples of these “standing out” became very popular and were followed by more people.【1】Nowadays, fashion has become a necessary part of one’s self-realization and clothing is basically a covering designed to be worn on a person’s body. This covering is a “necessity”, which brings a lot of variety into the lives of people and makes their image more complete.

The type of clothing completely depends on the person wearing it and becomes a reflection of personal identity. Lately, a lot is being heard about its meaning in the life of every single person on the planet. The choice of clothing is as important as identification through the color of hair, skin and gender. As every piece of clothing carries a strong message about its owner, every owner “nests” a certain value in it depending on his mindset or today’s mood. Therefore, the clothing of a person is a means of communication with the outside world.【2】

Clothes have a significant impact on the understanding of the people nearby as well as the person wearing them. For instance, a suit can make a person feel more confident and organized, which would eventually change even the gestures of the person. 【3】 Sometimes, fashion may play a vital role in a person’s life, especially when the person is applying for the job he wants. Fashion also creates a message that is required by a situation the person finds himself in. This can be simply proved by analyzing one’s reaction on people wearing different types of clothing.【4】 Thus, even the smallest companies make wearing a suit one of the requirements for their employees.

【5】 Fashion, with all its symbolism and features, form an outstanding base for personal and cultural identification. It is a part of the self-realization that is required for finding a place in life and has become a tool for achieving harmony with the inner world. The more diverse the society around us, the more fashion-trend will appear and surprise us.

A.Fashion helps us realize our dreams.

B.This was the moment when fashion appeared.

C.Fashion and identity are inseparable companions.

D.Clothing was designed to serve people in their daily life.

E.The preference is always given to people dressed in “business style”.

F.It is the way of telling people about the “state” and the “status” of its owner.

G.Wearing jeans after a suit may change the conduct of a person to a very casual one.

【題目】For many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?

The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis(假設(shè)). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result was opposite.

Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study, autumn begins at the start of the school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer, when school is out. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh start and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of daylight. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activities—and enjoy a break from school.

But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.

【1】The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ________.

A. present a different opinion on music

B. prove where to listen to music matters

C. stress the importance of music to humans

D. introduce the topic on musical preferences

【2】What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study?

A. Whether one has enough free time.

B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.

C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight.

D. Whether one chooses to change his life.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 imply?

A. Students aren’t fond of school in any season.

B. Spring has a special meaning to people.

C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies.

D. The length of summer time is longer than that of winter time.

【4】How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?

A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s humorous.

C. It’s discouraging. D. It’s significant.

【題目】 Do you want to raise mentally strong kids? Stop doing the following things.

Ignoring Your Child’s Feelings

You’re implying that your children's feelings are wrong, when you say “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal.” 【1】 And the key to living their best, life is about managing emotions. A healthier message is to say “I know you feel scared right now, but I also know you’re strong enough to face your fears.”

【2】

It’s easy to give in when your children are losing their tempers. But each time you give them what they want, you teach your children that their unacceptable acts are an effective way to get their needs met. If you want to, raise mentally strong kids, stick to your limits.

Spoiling Your Children

【3】 But there’s a lot of research that shows just how unhealthy over protection is for kids. If they always get everything they want, they miss out on learning valuable life skills like self-discipline. 【4】. Let them know what it’s like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they want to have.

Expecting Perfection

While high expectations are good for kids, setting the bar too high is likely to backfire. Whether you expect too much from your child on the sports field, or your academic expectations are unreasonable, kids who feel they can’t succeed are likely to stop trying. 【5】.

A.Giving in to misbehavior

B.Keeping to your principles

C.Set limits on what you give your children

D.Teach them not to give up dreams easily

E.Kids need to have a wide variety of emotions

F.You may think its cute to spend more money on your children

G.They are also more likely to struggle with self- respect issues
