And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active.Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At WardElementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.Read and Ride is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the programs academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as Read and Ride. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement can not all be attributed toprograms like Read and Ride,experts believe they are a significant contributor. Thats becausestudies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激） brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. So dont be surprised to find more schools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.24. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A. Kids excise balls in the classroom.B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading.C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym.D. Kids stand on the desks while reading.25. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?A. They exercise with high pressure.B. They become more active in sports.C. They feel reading fun and learn better.D. They become more independent in reading.26. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?A. be due toB. be occupied withC. be devoted toD. be addicted to27. What is the authors attitude towards this program?A. Neutral.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.CI was on a boat racing across the open ocean off Cancuns coast. I became thrilled as Iwondered what this beautiful day had in store for me. I joined one of the eco-tours that headed out to sea daily and dropped tourists into the ocean with whale sharksthe worlds largest fish! I had learned in the book that they were hard to find and quick to leave. This experience was bound to be unforgettable!After an hour-long ride at sea, we noticed large black fins(鱼鳍) appearing all around us and I knew immediately we were in for an unforgettable time! With a full boat of 10 people, wetook turns plunging into the shark-filled waters two at a time with the addition of a guide. We could immediately see enormous whale sharks swimming in every direction around us. Whale sharks are gentle giants, and it is impossible not to wonder at their huge size and grace as they glide through the water. These giant fish arent afraid of humans, swimming quietly right by us.The tours allowed for 15 minutes in the water at a time, rotating(使轮流) other tourists in and out. On this day the waves were very strong and several of the passengers became seasick, and so did I. But I dont normally get seasickness. Luckily for me, those passengers stopped taking their turn, allowing me more time in the water!Before the tour ended we had been in the water for a couple of hours and within a few feet of dozens of whale sharks. How could the experience get any better? You might ask. How abouta surprise visit from manta rays jumping out of water? Yes! Giant manta rays were propelling(推动) themselves into the air for our viewing pleasure on our way back home! Some even swam by our boat and gave us a close-up view!On the way back to Cancun we ate lunch at the beautiful and slightly crowded beach of Isla Mujeres. By the time the day had ended it put my previous experience in Belize to shamethiswas indeed a day that had made my dreams come true.28.

So people say parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.They prefer to spend more time on their phones rather than talk with their friends. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of Chinese have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many drivers are using smartphones while driving and as a result they get into car crashes. According to a police report, 34 percent of drivers admit texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. Peoples attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is alsolowering societys ability to communicate. We are living in a high-tech age, yet face-to-facecommunication is and will permanently be the number one way of communicating for humans.32. Why do parties and social gatherings no longer excite us like before?A. Because the drinks no longer taste good.B. Because the parties and gatherings are not attractive.C. Because people are too busy to attend the parties and gatherings.D. Because people focus more on the smartphones than the parties and gatherings.33. According to the second paragraph, which of the following interrupts drivers the most while they are driving?A. Drinking alcohol.B. Listening to music.C. Text messaging.D. Talking with their friends.34. Over reliance on the smartphone leads to the result that .A. peoples communication skills are weakenedB. some parties and gatherings limit their social circleC. people are becoming more and more narrow-mindedD. face-to-face communication becomes less important35. This text is probably taken from .A. a personal diaryB. an advertisementC. a police reportD. a popular magazine第二节：七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you usually feel like youre working hard but still cant reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.Study with a partner or in groupsRather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 36 Step into your teachers shoesAsk yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test？” You have probably experienced a lot of your teachers tests and quizzes by now. 37 Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.Paint pictures on the paper.You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures. Its harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture. 38 39A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Those Snickers commercials were not kidding. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized. Junk foods increase tiredness and dont make you have a good taste for others.Take breaks to relax your brain.Your brain is like a muscle. It can also tire if you overwork it. 40 If you divide studying into 1530minute blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at.AFeed your brain from time to time. BIt needs exercise to make it stronger. CRelax your brain by eating and drinking.DYou d better learn from them for the next test.EIts necessary to have a long holiday and have nice food.FFind ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.
