Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, its not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.Its an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽), and improve your strength.Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and dont want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you.Its a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (監(jiān)管) of a fitness instructor.If youre tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class thatll keep your workout on track.Dont let fitness frighten you!If youre serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, its extremely important to surround yourself with people wholl provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldnt scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldnt expect anyone to give offense to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people wholl provide you with respect and support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Dont let negativity ruin your motivation.()1.The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means “_”AcheerfulBaverageCseriousDtemporary()2.When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary _.Ato sustain a colorful lifestyleBto party on weekends with positive peopleCto try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyDto surround yourself with supportive people()3.What would be the best title for the passage?ASeeking SupportBSupporting HealthCImproving Your StrengthDBuilding Up Fitness【主旨大意】本文介紹團(tuán)隊鍛煉在健身和保持健康生活方式方面的益處。1【答案】A【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句中的“bored”與“keep your workout on track”可知，upbeat意思與cheerful相近，意為“快樂的；積極向上的”。故選A項。2【答案】D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段首句中的“its extremely important to surround yourself with people wholl provide you with the proper emotional support”可知，讓能為你提供合適的情感支持的人在你周圍非常重要，故選D項。3【答案】B【解析】主旨大意題。綜合全文可知，文章介紹“團(tuán)隊鍛煉在健身中的積極作用”，因此B項“輔助性的健康(運(yùn)動)”概括得最全面。B(2016湖南師大附中高三上學(xué)期第三次月考，D)One in five people carry a smart gene variant(變體)linked to long lifespan, bigger forebrain and enhanced mental ability, researchers have found.“Weve known for a long time that people lose cognitive(認(rèn)知) abilities as they age, but now were beginning to understand that factors like KLOTHO can give people a boost in aging.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old, like Alzheimers disease(老年癡呆癥)，” said senior author, Dena Dubal of University of California.The KLOTHO gene affects a protein found in the kidneys and the brain that regulates many different body processes.About one in five people carry a single copy of the varian, known as KLVS，which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function.A small minority, 3% of the population, has two copies, which is linked to a shorter lifespan.In the new study scientists scanned the brains of 422 men and women aged 53 and over who were also tested for the KLOTHO gene.They found that participants with a single copy of the gene variant also had a larger brain region known as RDLPFC, which is especially likely to shrink with age.Loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time.Researcher Dr Jennifer Yokoyama said, “The brain region enhanced by genetic variation in KLOTHO is vulnerable(脆弱的)in aging and some mental disease.In this case, bigger size means better function.It will be important to determine whether the structure increase associated with carrying one copy of KLVS can offset the cognitive shortage caused by disease.”People who have one copy of a variant KLVS tend to live longer and have lower chances of suffering a stroke (中風(fēng))，whereas people who have two copies may live shorter lives and have a higher risk of stroke.()4.What can we learn from the second paragraph?APeoples cognitive abilities do not decline if people have KLOTHO.BWith the clear understanding of KLOTHO, Alzheimers disease can be cured now.CGenetic variation in KLOTHO could be helpful in treating mental disease in elderly people.DGenetic variation in KLOTHO could lead people to suffer from Alzheimers disease.()5.If a person carries two copies of the gene variant, he/she may _.Ahave better kidney functionBhave a shorter lifespanChave a higher level of the protein in his/her bodyDsuffer from some cognitive disease()6.The reason why older peoples attention is easily distracted may be that _.Athey have fewer neurons in the RDLPECBtheir brain region is too largeCthey have two copies of the gene variantDthey have more neurons in the RDLPEC()7.What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?APrevent.BBalance.CKeep.DPromote.【主旨大意】研究發(fā)現(xiàn)有五分之一的人攜帶有與長壽、較大前腦和更強(qiáng)的心智能力的“聰明基因”的變體。本文研究了KLOTHO中變體與人衰老和精神疾病的關(guān)系：大腦區(qū)域越大，功能越強(qiáng)。4【答案】C【解析】事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段“Genetic variation in KLOTHO could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old, like Alzheimers disease(老年癡呆癥)”可以推知KLOTHO中的基因變體對于預(yù)防和治療老年人疾病的意義?？梢缘弥x項C符合題意。5【答案】B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“A small minority, 3% of the population, has two copies, which is linked to a shorter lifespan”可以得知選項B符合題意。6【答案】A【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time”可以推知RDLPEC中神經(jīng)元的損失會導(dǎo)致人注意力分散和很難在同一時間做多個任務(wù)，可以得知選項A符合題意。7【答案】B【解析】詞義猜測題。 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段上下文可以得知在KLOTHO中由于基因變體增大的大腦區(qū)域很容易衰退或產(chǎn)生精神疾病，所以較大的大腦區(qū)域功能更強(qiáng)。攜帶KLVS一副與大腦結(jié)構(gòu)是否增加對于平衡由疾病導(dǎo)致的認(rèn)知確實很重要?？梢缘弥x項B符合題意。.語法填空(2016陜西西安第七十中學(xué)11月檢測)Until about 150 years ago, the most important, expensive and renowned kind of painting was largescale pictures that told a story, regarded as the 1._(hard) challenge for an artist.2._(choose) suitable

lighting and anatomy.So history painting needed a lot of thought and_4._.(imagine)Largescale pictures used to be reserved for grand religious or patriotic subjects, but that changed in the 19th century, as artists began creating history paintings based5._contemporary news stories.One of the first of these was The Raft of the Medusa, inspired by the wreck of6._French ship in 1816, which

picture caused a huge outcry.Some people thought the artist meant to criticize the French king, 10._ had been involved in appointing the ships captain.1【答案】hardest【解析】考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文對這幅繪畫的講述可知這幅作品的取材、創(chuàng)作都是非常耗費(fèi)精力的，再根據(jù)前面的定冠詞the可以判斷此處用形容詞最高級，答案填hardest。2【答案】To choose【解析】考查非謂語動詞。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知畫家們必須要博學(xué)多才，還得了解如何不用文字來講述這個故事，再通過“To create lifelike scenes, they had to understand”可以判斷此處是強(qiáng)調(diào)目的，應(yīng)該用不定式，填To choose。意思是：為了選擇合適的主題。3【答案】how【解析】考查連接詞。由結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處是賓語從句，從句中是“主謂賓”結(jié)構(gòu)，缺少狀語，再根據(jù)從句的內(nèi)容“stories could be told without words, using only gestures and expressions.”可以判斷此處強(qiáng)調(diào)方式，指如何去做到這一點，填how。4【答案】imagination【解析】考查名詞。and連接并列成分，根據(jù)所給提示單詞以及空前“a lot of thought and”可以判斷此處填名詞imagination。5【答案】on【解析】固定搭配：be based on “以為根據(jù)”，答案填on。6【答案】a【解析】考查冠詞。ship是可數(shù)名詞，單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前需有限定詞，根據(jù)語境可知此處指“一艘法國船”，是泛指概念，答案填a。7【答案】where【解析】考查定語從句。分析結(jié)構(gòu)可知名詞后面“the survivors of the wreck on a raft littered with bodies try to signal to a distant ship.”是定語從句，從句缺少狀語，而先行詞scene是抽象名詞，表地點，故答案填where。8【答案】were rescued【解析】考查動詞。根據(jù)句意可知狀語從句的主語they和rescue是被動關(guān)系，再根據(jù)主句時態(tài)判斷此處用一般過去時的被動形式，答案填were rescued。9【答案】them【解析】考查代詞。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知此處指代“the survivors of the wreck on a raft，”作make的賓語，用賓格形式。答案填them。10【答案】who【解析】考查定語從句。從結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處是非限制性定語從句，從句缺少主語，而先行詞是the French king，所以填who。
