Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　Duncan Williams， who now plays for Chelsea Football Club， came close to missing out on a career in football.His father， Gavin， a former national team player and now a professional coach， had sent 14-year-old Duncan to three professional clubs， all of which turned him down， because， unlike the other boys， he did not shoot up in height.When Chelsea accepted him as a junior because of his fantastic skills， it was clear to him that this was more of a last chance than a new beginning. Fortunately， that summer， Duncan just grew and grew， and got much stronger as well.
　　Duncan said， “The first half of that season I played in the youth team.I got lucky — the first-team manager came to watch us play against Queens Park Rangers Football Club （QPR）.Although we lost 3-1， I had a really good game， which led to my promotion to the first team.”
　　Gavin pointed out that being smaller and weaker when Duncan was developing had its advantages， as it forced Duncan to focus on improving his ball control and using “quick feet” to get out of tight （陣式緊密的） spaces.A couple of years ago， Gavin used to tell Duncan， “Look， if you can already run past an opponent （對手） now， imagine what you’ll be like at 17 or 18 when you’re bigger and faster — they won’t be able to touch you.”
　　Now， Duncan is following in his father’s footsteps and has joined a national program where individuals like him provide guidance to young teenagers aiming to become professional athletes.He is an old head on young shoulders， yet he’s also like a young kid in his enthusiasm （熱情）.When asked if he would get to play for the national team， Duncan said humbly （謙虛地），“One day I’d love to， but the timing is for someone else to decide.”Given his current performance， that day may not be far off.
1.Why was 14-year-old Duncan refused by the three professional clubs？（　　）
A.He lacked team spirit.
B.He was not old enough.
C.He was physically small.
D.He had poor football skills.
2.Which word can best describe Duncan’s performance during the match against QPR？（　　）
A.Inspiring. B.Confusing.
C.Impressive. D.Unsatisfactory.
3.What can be guessed from Gavin’s words in Paragraph 3？（　　）
A.He advised Duncan to dream big.
B.He believed in Duncan’s potential.
C.He asked Duncan to train regularly.
D.He was glad about Duncan’s development.
4.What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.A Rising Star
B.The Last Chance
C.An Unexpected Game
D.The Good Sportsmanship
B
　　You want to lose some weight by exercising and eating healthily， only to find when you step on the scale （秤） it says you’ve gained a few pounds.“That’s normal， and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective，”says Jeffrey A.Dolgan， an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach， Florida.
　　“A person’s scale mass （質量） is a combination of muscle， fat， bone， blood， and even the air that we carry in our lungs，” he says.“Immediately after a workout routine （慣例）， the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 per cent.So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthily， it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.”
　　The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat， which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level， the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements.When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase， while your body fat percentage may decrease.
These changes happen over weeks and months （not hours or days） so the scale is useless when tracking them.
　　You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity （強度） training class.Don’t get too excited — it’s just water loss due to sweat.Water makes up about 65 to 90 per cent of a person’s weight， and change in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
　　So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition.Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight， you may actually look slimmer.
5.What can we know from Dolgan’s words in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
B.Your weight changes very little during a day.
C.Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D.Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
6.What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthily for 3 months？（　　）
A.You will weigh more.
B.Your muscle mass will decrease.
C.Your body fat will increase.
D.Your body composition will change.
7.Why do people lose some weight after a high intensity training class？（　　）
A.Because their fat reduces.
B.Because their muscle reduces.
C.Because they sweat a lot.
D.Because their bones become lighter.
8.Which of the following could be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Why Do We Gain Weight？
B.How Do We Work Out Effectively？
C.What Is the Composition of Our Body？
D.Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain？

Ⅰ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了年輕的足球運動員Duncan Williams的成長之路。
1.C　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句可知，三家職業俱樂部因為Duncan的身材矮小而不愿意要他。
2.C　推理判斷題。根據第二段中Duncan所說的Although we lost 3-1， I had a really good game， which led to my promotion to the first team.可知，Duncan在對抗QPR的比賽中的表現令人印象深刻。
3.B　推理判斷題。在第三段中Gavin指出，Duncan身材矮小瘦弱促使他專注于提高球技。再從Gavin常常鼓勵Duncan可以看出，他十分看好Duncan的未來發展。由此可推知，Gavin相信Duncan的潛力。
4.A　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了年輕的足球運動員Duncan Williams的成長之路。再根據最后一段最后兩句可知，優秀的Duncan為國家隊效力指日可待，他是足球界的一名后起之秀，故A項最適合作本文標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了為什么鍛煉會導致體重增加。
5.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段內容可知，一個人的體重是肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液，甚至是肺部攜帶的空氣的組合，在鍛煉后，每個部分的質量百分比會發生變化。由此可推知，你的體重受許多因素影響。
6.D　細節理解題。根據第三段第二、三句可知，在你鍛煉和健康飲食3個月后，你的體重可能會增加，但你的體脂百分比可能會下降，即最有可能的是你的身體組成會發生變化。
7.C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段前兩句可知，人們在參加高強度的訓練班后會減輕體重是因為他們出汗很多，體內水分流失。
8.D　標題歸納題。第一段提到一個現象：你想通過鍛煉和健康飲食來減肥，卻發現秤上顯示你又長了幾磅，下文對此進行了分析，所以D項（為什么我的鍛煉會導致體重增加？）能夠概括文章主旨，適合作本文標題。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。女孩通過無線電與國際空間站的宇航員取得了聯系。
9.A　根據語境可知，since they shared ... not to be ...是Matthew所了解的事情。

11.B　根據下文中的Pulling Isabella out of bed可知，Matthew不想讓女兒錯過與宇航員打招呼的機會，于是把她叫了起來。
12.D　根據語境可知，此處指Isabella和Matthew二人，故填pair。

15.C　根據語境和下文中的with individuals giving ...可知，此處指上文提到的國際空間站的宇航員通過無線電與地面上的人進行交流。
16.A　根據常識可知，人們在用無線電交流時，最后通常會說再見。
17.B　根據上文中的American astronaut Kjell Lindgren和Aboard the International Space Station可知，Lindgren當時正在國際空間站里，因此是在太空中經過肯特郡時聽到了Isabella的聲音。
18.C　根據上文中的usually schools和下文中的his favourite可推知，小女孩Isabella和父親在晚上以個人名義與Lindgren進行無線電交流，這種情況不常見，因此在聽到Isabella的名字和年齡后，Lindgren很驚喜，他的聲音便從平淡的聲調變為了愉快的聲調。
19.A　根據語境可知，此處指Lindgren最喜歡和Isabella的這次聯系，故填contact。
20.D　根據下文中的on his knee， at the radio desk及sitting on the front-knee seat可推知，Isabella每次都會坐在父親的膝上在無線電桌前觀看火箭發射和太空行走，故填usual。
21.B　根據上文中的They’ve shared that special bond all their lives并結合上一段內容可知，此處介紹的仍應是Isabella和父親一起做的與太空和無線電通信有關的事，故填radio。radio在此處作動詞，意為“以無線電聯絡”。
22.C　根據語境可知，此處指上文中的Matthew幫助一所學校用無線電聯絡宇航員的事，故填event。
23.D　根據下文中的so she can recreate her exchange with Lindgren as many times as she’d like可知，Isabella的夢想是成為一名航天機構的通信專家。

　　The old lady took a deep breath and began to tell her sad story.After losing her husband and children in a car accident 25 years ago， she moved to the small town to escape the sadness.At first， the neighbours were welcoming， but soon distanced themselves， leaving her feeling so lonely.But she had accepted the fact.The noise they heard was her old washing machine， making strange sounds when turned on.Alice and John expressed their feeling of shock， stating that it was wrong and sad for the neighbours to leave her alone like that.
　　From that day on， Alice and John started paying a daily visit to the old lady after school.They also told their parents the true story behind that creepy house， who invited her to their house and soon they developed a nice friendship.And within a couple of weeks， Alice and John cleaned the house， painted the walls with their dad’s help， and cut all the overgrown grass.The old lady was happy.She changed into a completely new person.Now people often saw her smiling and walking on Cheryl Street， all thanks to the care and love given by the two kids.

Finding a balance： my tai chi experience
　　[1]When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school， I hesitated①.I always believed tai chi was for old people.After the first class， however， I had to admit② that I had been wrong about tai chi.It was amazing！ One year later， I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.[2]Just as importantly， practising tai chi has inspired③ me to explore④ the Chinese culture behind it.
　　[1]When引導時間狀語從句，從句謂語是suggested（建議）；該從句中同時含有一個that引導的賓語從句，故使用了虛擬語氣，即謂語用“（should＋）動詞原形”。
[2]practising tai chi為動詞-ing短語作主語，謂語動詞用單數形式。
　　[3]The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy， and the moves really caught my imagination， with descriptive names like “white crane⑤ spreading its wings” and “golden rooster⑥ standing on one leg”.When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from， he told me about the history of tai chi.[4]Zhang Sanfeng， a 13th-century Taoist， was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.[5]However， nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting， a 17th-century master⑦ of Chinese martial arts， developed tai chi based on martial arts skills.No wonder⑧ some tai chi moves are named after animals — Chinese martial arts have a long-standing practice of imitating⑨ animals.Chen Wangting’s original set of moves is called Chen-style tai chi， but other styles of tai chi have since been developed， including Yang-style， Wu-style and Sun-style.
　　[3]and連接一個并列句。前一個分句是“主系表”結構；后一個分句是“主謂賓”結構，with復合結構（with＋名詞＋介詞短語）作狀語。
　　[4]sb/sth be said to have done sth意為“據說某人/某物已經做了某事”；a 13th-century Taoist是主語Zhang Sanfeng的同位語。
　　[5]that引導賓語從句，從句主語是Chen Wangting， a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts是它的同位語；過去分詞短語based on martial arts skills在從句中作方式狀語。
　　[6]After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes， I found myself bored and aching⑩ from doing the same moves over and over again .[7]Luckily， my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine.[8]With these requirements of tai chi in mind， I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved， that I was able to do more difficult moves， and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
　　[6]After引導時間狀語從句，主句是“主語＋find＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結構，其中形容詞bored和動詞-ing短語aching from ...over and over again用作賓語補足語。
[7]while performing the routine是狀語從句的省略結構，補充完整為while I was performing the routine。
[8]“with＋名詞＋介詞短語”為with復合結構，在句中作狀語；動詞found后接三個由that引導的并列賓語從句；to my satisfaction是一個插入成分。
　　In time ， I began to look into the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi.[9]I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang， which are believed to form the unity of opposites. Neither can exist independent of the other； for example， there is no shadow without light.The practice of tai chi aims to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements： forwards and backwards ， up and down， left and right， breathing in and breathing out.Eventually， tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday life.I sleep better at night， and I am more energetic during the day.I feel happier and more confident.[10]Tai chi has

找到平衡：我的太極拳體驗
　　一開始，當朋友建議我們參加學校新成立的太極拳俱樂部時，我猶豫了。我過去一直覺得太極拳是老年人的運動。不過，上完第一節課后，我不得不承認，我之前對太極拳的認識是錯誤的。太極拳實在是太神奇了。一年后，我可以實話實說了，太極拳對我的身心都產生了巨大的影響。同樣重要的是，練習太極拳還激勵了我去探索其背后的中國文化。
前幾堂太極拳課很好玩，也不難學，這些動作有著像“白鶴亮翅”“金雞獨立”這樣畫面感很強的名稱，實在令我著迷。當我問教練，這些有趣的名稱從何而來時，他向我道出了太極拳的歷史。傳說13世紀時，一個叫張三豐的道士從蛇與鳥的纏斗中汲取靈感，創立了太極拳。不過，現在人們往往認為，太極拳是由17世紀的中國武術大師陳王廷在武術套路的基礎上創編的。由于中國武術中模擬動物的做法由來已久，太極拳的部分招式以動物來命名也就不足為奇了。陳王廷最初創編的招式稱為陳氏太極拳，后來也發展出了其他門類的太極拳，包括楊氏太極拳、吳氏太極拳和孫氏太極拳。
學完前幾節太極拳基礎課之后，我發現一遍又一遍重復這些招式讓我心生厭倦，而且肌肉酸痛。幸運的是，教練教會了我放松肌肉的方法，以及在日常練習時如何注意心境的平和。讓我欣慰的是，記住太極拳的這些要求后，我發現自己的平衡性和柔韌性慢慢有所改善，我能完成難度更大的動作，而且我比以前更喜愛太極拳了。
我不失時機地開始探尋太極拳背后的中國古代文化。我發現太極拳深深植根于中國的陰陽哲學，中國哲學認為陰和陽是既對立又統一的。彼此不能獨立存在；比如，沒有光就不會有影子。練習太極拳旨在通過一些相對的動作——進退、上下、左右、吐納——來維持人體內部的陰陽調和。最終，太極拳帶來了身體平衡和心態平和的狀態。
一年練習太極拳的經歷已經對我的日常生活產生了積極的作用。晚上我睡得更香，白天則精力更充沛。幸福感倍增，人也更加自信。太極拳讓我學會了放松心態，使我在有壓力的環境下也能冷靜應對。我相信我一定會繼續練習太極拳，并不斷地享受太極拳帶給我的好處。

Finding a balance： my tai chi experience
　　[1]When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club
at school， I hesitated①.I always believed tai chi was for old
people.After the first class， however， I had to admit② that I had been
wrong about tai chi.It was amazing！ One year later， I can honestly say
it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.[2]Just as
importantly， practising tai chi has inspired③ me to explore④ the Chinese
culture behind it.
　　[1]When引導時間狀語從句，從句謂語是suggested（建
議）；該從句中同時含有一個that引導的賓語從句，故使用了虛
擬語氣，即謂語用“（should＋）動詞原形”。
[2]practising tai chi為動詞-ing短語作主語，謂語動詞用單數
形式。
【讀文清障】
①hesitate vi.猶豫，遲疑
don’t hesitate to do sth 毫不猶豫做某事
hesitation n.猶豫，遲疑
②admit vt.& vi.承認；招認；準許進入；準許加入 [生義]容納，接納
admission n.準入，接納
③inspire vt.激勵，鼓舞；啟發思考；使產生（感覺或情感）
inspire sb to do sth 激勵某人做某事
inspiration n.靈感；鼓舞人心的人（或事物）
draw inspiration from 從……得到靈感
④explore vt.& vi.探究，探索；勘探，勘察
exploration n.探險；研究
　　[3]The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy， and the moves
really caught my imagination， with descriptive names like “white crane
⑤ spreading its wings” and “golden rooster⑥ standing on one
leg”.When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from，
he told me about the history of tai chi.[4]Zhang Sanfeng， a 13th-century
Taoist， was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a
fight between a snake and a bird.[5]However， nowadays people tend to
believe that Chen Wangting， a 17th-century master⑦ of Chinese martial
arts，
developed tai chi based on martial arts skills.No wonder⑧ some tai chi
moves are named after animals — Chinese martial arts have a long-
standing practice of imitating⑨ animals.Chen Wangting’s original set of
moves is called Chen-style tai chi， but other styles of tai chi have since
been developed， including Yang-style， Wu-style and Sun-style.
　　[3]and連接一個并列句。前一個分句是“主系表”結構；后一
個分句是“主謂賓”結構，with復合結構（with＋名詞＋介詞短語）
作狀語。
　　[4]sb/sth be said to have done sth意為“據說某人/某物已經做了
某事”；a 13th-century Taoist是主語Zhang Sanfeng的同位語。
　　[5]that引導賓語從句，從句主語是Chen Wangting， a 17th-
century master of Chinese martial arts是它的同位語；過去分詞短語
based on martial arts skills在從句中作方式狀語。
⑤crane n.鶴
white crane spreading its wings 白鶴亮翅
⑥rooster n.雄雞
golden rooster standing on one leg 金雞獨立
⑦master n.大師，能手；主人vt.精通，掌握；控制
a master of martial arts 一位武術大師
⑧no wonder 不足為奇，并不奇怪
no wonder （that） ...難怪……
⑨imitate vt.模仿；仿效
imitation n.模仿；仿效；仿制品
　　[6]After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes， I
found myself bored and aching⑩ from doing the same moves over and
over again .[7]Luckily， my coach taught me how to relax my muscles
and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine.[8]With these
requirements of tai chi in mind， I found to my satisfaction that my
balance and flexibility slowly improved， that I was able to do more
difficult moves， and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
　　[6]After引導時間狀語從句，主句是“主語＋find＋賓語＋賓語
補足語”結構，其中形容詞bored和動詞-ing短語aching from ...over
and over again用作賓語補足語。
[7]while performing the routine是狀語從句的省略結構，補充完
整為while I was performing the routine。
[8]“with＋名詞＋介詞短語”為with復合結構，在句中作狀
語；動詞found后接三個由that引導的并列賓語從句；to my
satisfaction是一個插入成分。

headache n.頭痛
stomachache n.胃痛
over and over again 一再地，反復地
focus/fix/concentrate on/upon 專注于
satisfaction n.滿意；滿足，達到
to one’s satisfaction 令某人滿意的是
satisfy vt.滿足；使滿意
　　In time ， I began to look into the ancient Chinese culture behind
tai chi.[9]I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese
philosophy of yin and yang， which are believed to form the unity of
opposites. Neither can exist independent of the other； for example，
there is no shadow without light.The practice of tai chi aims to maintain
the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements：
forwards and backwards ， up and down， left and right， breathing
in and breathing out.Eventually， tai chi brings about a state of physical
balance and mental peace.
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday
life.I sleep better at night， and I am more energetic during the day.I feel
happier and more confident.[10]Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind，
enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations .I am sure I will continue
to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
　　[9]that引導賓語從句，作discovered的賓語；which引導非限制性
定語從句，修飾yin and yang。
　　[10]enabling me ...situations為動詞-ing短語作狀語，enable和主
語Tai chi之間為邏輯上的主謂關系。

【參考譯文】
找到平衡：我的太極拳體驗
　　一開始，當朋友建議我們參加學校新成立的太極拳俱樂部時，我
猶豫了。我過去一直覺得太極拳是老年人的運動。不過，上完第一節
課后，我不得不承認，我之前對太極拳的認識是錯誤的。太極拳實在
是太神奇了。一年后，我可以實話實說了，太極拳對我的身心都產生
了巨大的影響。同樣重要的是，練習太極拳還激勵了我去探索其背后
的中國文化。
前幾堂太極拳課很好玩，也不難學，這些動作有著像“白鶴亮
翅”“金雞獨立”這樣畫面感很強的名稱，實在令我著迷。當我問教
練，這些有趣的名稱從何而來時，他向我道出了太極拳的歷史。傳說
13世紀時，一個叫張三豐的道士從蛇與鳥的纏斗中汲取靈感，創立了
太極拳。不過，現在人們往往認為，太極拳是由17世紀的中國武術大
師陳王廷在武術套路的基礎上創編的。由于中國武術中模擬動物的做
法由來已久，太極拳的部分招式以動物來命名也就不足為奇了。陳王
廷最初創編的招式稱為陳氏太極拳，后來也發展出了其他門類的太極
拳，包括楊氏太極拳、吳氏太極拳和孫氏太極拳。
學完前幾節太極拳基礎課之后，我發現一遍又一遍重復這些招式
讓我心生厭倦，而且肌肉酸痛。幸運的是，教練教會了我放松肌肉的
方法，以及在日常練習時如何注意心境的平和。讓我欣慰的是，記住
太極拳的這些要求后，我發現自己的平衡性和柔韌性慢慢有所改善，
我能完成難度更大的動作，而且我比以前更喜愛太極拳了。　　我不
失時機地開始探尋太極拳背后的中國古代文化。我發現太極拳深深植
根于中國的陰陽哲學，中國哲學認為陰和陽是既對立又統一的。彼此
不能獨立存在；比如，沒有光就不會有影子。練習太極拳旨在通過一
些相對的動作——進退、上下、左右、吐納——來維持人體內部的陰
陽調和。最終，太極拳帶來了身體平衡和心態平和的狀態。
一年練習太極拳的經歷已經對我的日常生活產生了積極的作
用。晚上我睡得更香，白天則精力更充沛。幸福感倍增，人也更
加自信。太極拳讓我學會了放松心態，使我在有壓力的環境下也
能冷靜應對。我相信我一定會繼續練習太極拳，并不斷地享受太
極拳帶給我的好處。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　Duncan Williams， who now plays for Chelsea Football Club， came
close to missing out on a career in football.His father， Gavin， a former
national team player and now a professional coach， had sent 14-year-old
Duncan to three professional clubs， all of which turned him down，
because， unlike the other boys， he did not shoot up in height.When
Chelsea accepted him as a junior because of his fantastic skills， it was
clear to him that this was more of a last chance than a new beginning.
Fortunately， that summer， Duncan just grew and grew， and got much
stronger as well.
　　Duncan said， “The first half of that season I played in the youth
team.I got lucky — the first-team manager came to watch us play against
Queens Park Rangers Football Club （QPR）.Although we lost 3-1， I
had a really good game， which led to my promotion to the first team.”
　　Gavin pointed out that being smaller and weaker when Duncan was
developing had its advantages， as it forced Duncan to focus on improving
his ball control and using “quick feet” to get out of tight （陣式緊密
的） spaces.A couple of years ago， Gavin used to tell Duncan，
“Look， if you can already run past an opponent （對手） now，
imagine what you’ll be like at 17 or 18 when you’re bigger and
faster — they won’t be able to touch you.”
　　Now， Duncan is following in his father’s footsteps and has joined
a national program where individuals like him provide guidance to young
teenagers aiming to become professional athletes.He is an old head on
young shoulders， yet he’s also like a young kid in his enthusiasm （熱
情）.When asked if he would get to play for the national team， Duncan
said humbly （謙虛地），“One day I’d love to， but the timing is for
someone else to decide.”Given his current performance， that day may
not be far off.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了年輕的足球運動員
Duncan Williams的成長之路。
1. Why was 14-year-old Duncan refused by the three professional clubs？
（　　）
A. He lacked team spirit.
B. He was not old enough.
C. He was physically small.
D. He had poor football skills.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句可知，三家職業俱樂部
因為Duncan的身材矮小而不愿意要他。
2. Which word can best describe Duncan’s performance during the
match against QPR？（　　）
A. Inspiring. B. Confusing.
C. Impressive. D. Unsatisfactory.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第二段中Duncan所說的Although
we lost 3-1， I had a really good game， which led to my
promotion to the first team.可知，Duncan在對抗QPR的比賽中
的表現令人印象深刻。
3. What can be guessed from Gavin’s words in Paragraph 3？（　　）
A. He advised Duncan to dream big.
B. He believed in Duncan’s potential.
C. He asked Duncan to train regularly.
D. He was glad about Duncan’s development.
解析：　推理判斷題。在第三段中Gavin指出，Duncan身材矮小
瘦弱促使他專注于提高球技。再從Gavin常常鼓勵Duncan可以看
出，他十分看好Duncan的未來發展。由此可推知，Gavin相信
Duncan的潛力。
4. What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A. A Rising Star
B. The Last Chance
C. An Unexpected Game
D. The Good Sportsmanship
解析：　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了年輕的足
球運動員Duncan Williams的成長之路。再根據最后一段最后兩句可
知，優秀的Duncan為國家隊效力指日可待，他是足球界的一名后
起之秀，故A項最適合作本文標題。

　　You want to lose some weight by exercising and eating healthily，
only to find when you step on the scale （秤） it says you’ve gained a
few pounds.“That’s normal， and it doesn’t mean that your workouts
are not effective，”says Jeffrey A. Dolgan， an exercise physiologist in
Miami Beach， Florida.
　　“A person’s scale mass （質量） is a combination of muscle，
fat， bone， blood， and even the air that we carry in our lungs，” he
says.“Immediately after a workout routine （慣例）， the percentage of
mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 per cent.So if you’re
gaining weight while working out and eating healthily， it’s probably not
the type of weight gain that you think it is.”
　　The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or
fat， which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level， the scale
is not the best tool for measuring improvements.When you start to change
your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle
mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase，
while your body fat percentage may decrease.These changes happen over
weeks and months （not hours or days） so the scale is useless when
tracking them.
　　You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity
（強度） training class.Don’t get too excited — it’s just water loss
due to sweat.Water makes up about 65 to 90 per cent of a person’s
weight， and change in water content of the human body can move the
scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
　　So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement
tools like body composition.Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but
gaining weight， you may actually look slimmer.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了為什么鍛煉會導致
體重增加。
5. What can we know from Dolgan’s words in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
B. Your weight changes very little during a day.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第二段內容可知，一個人的體重是肌
肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液，甚至是肺部攜帶的空氣的組合，在鍛煉
后，每個部分的質量百分比會發生變化。由此可推知，你的體重受
許多因素影響。
6. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthily for
3 months？（　　）
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段第二、三句可知，在你鍛煉和
健康飲食3個月后，你的體重可能會增加，但你的體脂百分比可能
會下降，即最有可能的是你的身體組成會發生變化。
7. Why do people lose some weight after a high intensity training class？
（　　）
A. Because their fat reduces.
B. Because their muscle reduces.
C. Because they sweat a lot.
D. Because their bones become lighter.
解析：　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段前兩句可知，人們在
參加高強度的訓練班后會減輕體重是因為他們出汗很多，體內
水分流失。
8. Which of the following could be the best title for the text？（　　）
A. Why Do We Gain Weight？
B. How Do We Work Out Effectively？
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body？
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain？
解析：　標題歸納題。第一段提到一個現象：你想通過鍛煉和健
康飲食來減肥，卻發現秤上顯示你又長了幾磅，下文對此進行了分
析，所以D項（為什么我的鍛煉會導致體重增加？）能夠概括文章
主旨，適合作本文標題。

　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構

　　Cheryl Street was a beautiful and friendly neighbourhood.However，
there was an old two-story house with dark grey walls at the end of the
street.The small area in front of the house was overgrown with grass.
　　The house belonged to an old lady， who lived alone in it.Nobody
ever saw her smiling and she mostly stayed inside the house.Some people
regarded her as a crazy old lady， while others thought she was a witch
（女巫）.There were rumours （傳聞） that strange noises came from
the house after midnight.
　　Then a new family moved into that street.They had two kids， Alice
and John.When the kids started going to a neighbourhood school， some
kids from Cheryl Street were also in their class.They gradually filled them
in on all the rumours and stories about their neighbourhood， particularly
about that house.Alice and John， being curious， decided to uncover the
secret behind all the rumours.
　　One evening， Alice and John’s parents had to go out to their
friend’s place for dinner.After their parents left， both the kids walked
out the door and walked towards that creepy （令人毛骨悚然的） house.
　　After a few minutes， they reached the house and knocked at the
door.After a few seconds， the door opened and the old lady
appeared.“What do you want？” she asked.
　　“Umm ... if you don’t mind， can we come inside and sit with
you for some time？Our parents are at their friends’ house and we were
getting bored at home，” John said.
　　The old lady smiled a little.“Okay， come inside，” she led the
way to her living room.
　　The inside of the house was a mess.Alice and John sat on a sofa while
the old lady went inside.She returned after a while with two cups of hot
chocolate and a plate of cookies.The kids thanked her and started eating
the cookies.
　　“Okay now， what made you come here？”the lady looked at the
kids.
　　John said，“Umm ...actually， as you know， there are many
rumours and stories surrounding this house and you.Everybody is scared
to come here and pass by this house.Strange noises come from this house
at night.Nobody has ever heard of your family and they call you ...”
　　“Witch lady，”the old lady completed John’s sentence with a
smile.
　　Both the kids nodded their heads.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　The old lady took a deep breath and began to tell her sad
story. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　From that day on， Alice and John started paying a daily visit to
the old lady after school. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　The old lady took a deep breath and began to tell her sad story.After
losing her husband and children in a car accident 25 years ago， she
moved to the small town to escape the sadness.At first， the neighbours
were welcoming， but soon distanced themselves， leaving her feeling so
lonely.But she had accepted the fact.The noise they heard was her old
washing machine， making strange sounds when turned on.Alice and
John expressed their feeling of shock， stating that it was wrong and sad
for the neighbours to leave her alone like that.
　　From that day on， Alice and John started paying a daily visit to the
old lady after school.They also told their parents the true story behind that
creepy house， who invited her to their house and soon they developed a
nice friendship.And within a couple of weeks， Alice and John cleaned
the house， painted the walls with their dad’s help， and cut all the
overgrown grass.The old lady was happy.She changed into a completely
new person.Now people often saw her smiling and walking on Cheryl
Street， all thanks to the care and love given by the two kids.
