　　[2015·兰州一中期中]

　　Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

　　“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

　　“He won't find out，” Mark said, “I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

　　Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

　　It was a strange－looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It's an experimental model,

　　” his father had explained, “so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought,

　　Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later,

　　the screen turned into colors,

　　shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

　　“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly,

　　“It's a computer game.

　　I knew it!

　　Dad's only been pretending to

　　work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen: “ENTER NAMES

　　VOYAGER 1：...

　　VOYAGER 2：...”

　　Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

　　“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROG－RAM.AUTO－RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．”

　　The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

　　“I think we'd better shut it off, Mark，” Jason yelled,

　　reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.

　　But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen,

　　the letters changed.

　　“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”

　　孩子对电脑的好奇心带着他们穿越到了火星。

　　1．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?

　　3．Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of________.

　　4．Why did Jason want to shut off the

　　computer?

　　[2016·河北调研]We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.”

　　Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one－fourth of the adults reported they ran regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non－runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non－runners. This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1,200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, a heart attack or stroke (中风)．

　　One of the researchers is a man named D. C. Lee. He is an assistant professor of kinesiology, or the science of movement， at Iowa State University. Compared to non－runners, he says, runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “Compared to non－runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack， stroke or cancer. Also, runners compared to non－runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular (心血管的) disease,

　　including heart attack and stroke. ”

　　D．C.Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr Lee says slower runners, and those who only ran once or twice a week, were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “And also we looked at the running over time and we found that persistent runners—over I think six years—they showed the biggest benefits， as well.”

　　To stay healthy, doctors suggest that adults up to age 65 do 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week. They say these individuals need 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, like running, every week for good health.

　　坚持跑步对你的健康是有益的：生命在于运动，健康在于跑步。

　　5．What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A．The secrets to living healthily

　　B．Let's run faster and further

　　C．The causes of some diseases

　　D．For a longer life, go running

　　答案：D　主旨大意题。文中第一段引入主题，跑步对健康有益，后面几段分别从不同角度论述了跑步的益处，故D项最为合适。

　　6．Which of the following is TRUE about the research?

　　A．The runners lived, on average, four years longer than the non－runners.

　　B．Runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes than non－runners.

　　C．Among over 55,000 adults, about one－third of the adults ran regularly.

　　D．During the 15 years of study, more than 3,400 of the individuals died of heart disease.

　　答案：B　事实细节题。从文中第三段“Compared to nonrunners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes.”。

　　7．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?

　　A．How can people improve their speed of running?

　　B．How can people increase their distance of running?

　　C．What ways of running can benefit people's health?

　　D．What surroundings should people run in for their health?

　　答案：C　主旨大意题。本段中的第一句话即可作为本段的中心句。

　　8．What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph that follows?

　　A．Measures to cure heart disease.

　　B．Some tips for safe running.

　　C．Ways to build up one's body.

　　D．How to participate in a match.

　　答案：B　推理猜测题。最后一段提到了为了保持健康，请跑步，所以接下来有可能谈论如何正确的、健康的去跑步。

　　1．considerably adv. 相当地；非常地

　　2．movement n. 移动；活动

　　3.attack n．/vt. 攻击；袭击

　　4．benefit n．/vt. 受益；益处

　　5.vigorous adj. 精力充沛的

　　1．be linked to 与……有联系

　　2.as well 也，和，又

　　原文：Researchers say it is not important how far you run.(it为形式主语)

　　译文：研究者发现你跑多远并不重要。

　　仿写：It_suddenly_occurred_to_him_that he had left his keys in the office.

　　他突然想起把钥匙忘到了办公室。

　　Ⅲ.短文改错(建议用时8′)

　　[2016·山西四校联考]

　　I like travelling and my dream of paying a visit for Beijing, the capital city of our country, come true during the National Day holidays this year. On October 1st, I went to Tian'anmen Square with my parents, there we watched the flag－raising ceremony. As I watched the flag rising slowly, I sang a national anthem, feel extremely excited. Then we went to some other famous attraction, like the Great Wall. Standing on the Great Wall, I felt very proudly. I thought of the old saying that “One who fail to reach the Great Wall is a hero.” Although I was tired, but I really had a good time.
