. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly yes. Today many people don39。t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult. High school isn39。t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student39。s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school. The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖癥). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don39。t get teens to move around, such as video games and puter activities, means many teens don39。t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights. Not doing sports increases teens39。 risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of healthcare spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. According to the President39。s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.(1)According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean? teens attach importance to exercise later. the stress faced by teens at school. teens to encourage adults to exercise. teens learn to make good plans.(2)What does the underlined word hindered in Paragraph 5 mean? ....(3)According to the PCFSN, doing sports . making students choose between sports and studies students make good use of all their time students adjust to their studies better students do better in their studies(4)What is the text mainly about? high school students should receive physical education. some schools consider physical education important. schools can help students love doing sports. high school students can live a better life.【答案】 (1)A(2)B(3)D(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文。論述了為什么高中生應(yīng)該接受體育教育。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.”現(xiàn)在教導(dǎo)青少年健康生活方式的重要性,制定健身計劃,可以幫助青少年成年后,把鍛煉放在首位。可知,根據(jù)第二段,高中體育教育意味著讓青少年重視以后的鍛煉。故選A。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第五段中的“Not doing sports increases teens39。 risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.”不運動會增加青少年患多種疾病的風(fēng)險。積極的生活方式是預(yù)防這些健康問題的好方法??芍癆s much as 75 percent of healthcare spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes”的意思是多達(dá)75%的醫(yī)療支出用于治療可能因生活方式改變而受阻的疾病?!癶indered”的意思是受阻,故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.”不參加體育活動的學(xué)生,把額外的時間用于課堂學(xué)習(xí),在考試中的表現(xiàn)并不比那些為了支持體育而放棄一些學(xué)習(xí)時間的學(xué)生好。由此推斷出,根據(jù)PCFSN,做運動幫助學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)上做得更好。故選D。 (4)考查主旨大意。第一段中的“But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly ‘yes’.”但是中學(xué)生應(yīng)該接受體育教育嗎?答案當(dāng)然是肯定的,是全文的主題句,結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容,可知這篇文章主要講了為什么高中生應(yīng)該接受體育教育。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain(獲得), whether rich or poor, according to a 20year study led by Mariah Evans. For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home pared to being raised in a home with a 500book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education. Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesseducated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get. The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。s occupation or the economic level of the country. Having books in the home is twice as important as the father39。s education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than twothirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.(1)In the past educators held a point of view that ______ . A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of education
