In recent years, plank exercise (平板支撑) has become more and more popular. It's easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise. You can even do it with a chair! But you should use a stable chair to make sure of your safety. It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise. Moreover, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate (速率) high all day long. Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn't stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It's because your muscles aren't strong enough to give you the balance you need.
▲ Just think about it: You are sitting all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a positive effect on our feelings.
Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
(1)、What does the word "stable" in paragraph 1 most likely mean?A、Pretty in shape. B、High in price. C、Not easy to move. D、Light and easy to carry.(2)、According to Paragraph 2, which of the following shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? (X: Time; Y: Metabolic rate)A、
B、
C、
D、
(3)、Why can't some people stand straight on one leg for more than ten seconds?A、Because they are drunk. B、Because their muscles are weak. C、Because they are too tired. D、Because they have fewer muscles.(4)、Which of the following can be put in the " ▲ " in Paragraph 4?A、You will also get emotional benefits. B、Plank exercise is simple for us. C、You may get other physical benefits. D、Everyone needs plank exercise.3. 阅读理解
"Love You, Old Self" — this simple sentence has become a warm thing and a popular phrase among young people in China. It even turns into a warm secret code among young people. Coming from an ordinary life moment, this simple sentence shows much about young people's attitude towards life today.
The story behind it is simple: a video blogger wanted to eat a grapefruit but felt lazy to peel it at first. He finally did it himself and said this sentence to himself like talking to an old friend. It seems simple, but it really connects with how young people feel. They want to learn self-care and build inner order when life is tiring. It makes "loving yourself" become daily habits.
More importantly, the phrase carries a value shift. It is not just words but an active supply (供给) of inner energy, marking young people's important growth: their romance is moving from expecting others' love to giving themselves love. They used to wait for care from family or friends, but now they realize self-care is also a kind of romance.
Some people may think that focusing on self-care will make young people become closed off. But this is not true at all. A person who knows how to properly care for himself and deal with his emotions can better care for others. Just like a cup full of water can pour water for others, a person with enough inner energy can bring warmth to those around him.
In short, the popularity of "Love Yourself, See You Tomorrow" is no accident. It reflects young people's positive pursuit of a better life. This warm phrase reminds us: don't forget to love ourselves in busy life. Only by taking good care of ourselves can we face life bravely and live meaningfully.
(1)、Why does the author mention the blogger's story?A、To show how lazy the video blogger is. B、To explain where the popular phrase comes from. C、To tell readers peeling a grapefruit is a difficult task. D、To advise young people to eat more fruit to keep healthy.(2)、What does the "value shift" in Paragraph 3 mainly refer to?A、Young people no longer need love from others. B、Young people care more about family than friends now. C、Young people prefer to stay alone rather than make friends. D、Young people start to value self-care as a kind of romance.(3)、What can we learn from the passage?A、Young people should only focus on themselves. B、Loving oneself is the first step to loving others. C、Popular phrases on the internet are always positive. D、We should eat more fruit even when we feel lazy.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the phrase "Love You, Old Self"?A、Supportive. B、Doubtful. C、Critical. D、Worried.4. 阅读理解
①Do you think Greenland is a land of green grass and forests? In fact, its name is a little trick. It's said that a long time ago, a Viking named Erik the Red gave it this name in order to attract more people to come. What is Greenland actually like?
②As the world's largest island, Greenland lies in the northeast of North America between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the island is covered by ice all year round. In winter, the cold is extreme — temperatures in some inland areas can drop to nearly -70℃, and the land is frozen for months. In summer, the ice does not fully disappear. A little green grass appears only along the southern coast, but it is still far from a "green land". Therefore, it would be more fitting to call it "White land".
③The extreme climate does not stop the life and energy in Greenland. It is home to both rare wildlife and a resilient (坚韧的)human population. It is one of the few places on Earth where you can see polar bears, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and rare Arctic birds. For thousands of years, the Inuit people (因纽特人) have lived on this icy island. To survive the freezing cold, they make a living by fishing and hunting, wear thick clothes made from animal skins and build warm houses using ice blocks, known as igloos. But the Inuit are not just survivors. Their traditions, such as drum dancing and throat singing, have been passed down from one generation to the next, keeping their culture still alive and strong today.
④Greenland's charm goes far beyond. It offers amazing glaciers (冰川) and natural wonders. It is also rich in natural resources, such as oil and rare earth minerals. What's more, its location on the Arctic shipping routes gives it great strategic importance — when the ice melts (融化), the routes become much easier to pass through. Scientists see it as a good place to do scientific research about climate change and the Arctic ecosystem.
⑤Today, Greenland has become a popular place for brave travelers. Visitors can explore wonderful glaciers, go dog-sledding, or visit small Inuit villages to experience local life. Famous places to visit include the Northeast Greenland National Park and the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
⑥Greenland is more than just an icy island — it reminds us of both the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting our planet.
(1)、What do we know about Greenland?A、Greenland lies in the northwest of North America. B、Most of the island is covered by green land. C、The whole island will be below 70℃ in winter. D、The southern coast has some green grass in summer.(2)、What can be inferred about the Inuit people?A、They moved to Greenland hundreds of years ago. B、They help scientists to study the Arctic ecosystem. C、They know how to make use of nature to live. D、They don't care about fun or cultural activities.(3)、How is the text organized? (P = Paragraph)A、
B、
C、
D、
(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Greenland: The Coldest Place on the Earth B、Greenland: More Than Just Ice C、Greenland: Land of Endless Darkness D、Greenland: Home of Inuit People二、第二部分,阅读理解,第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
