Many men and women thinking about a personal fitness plan sometimes worry that “Im too old to start exercising,” or “going to the gym is something for younger people, not me”. This brings up a big question for potential gym-goers: How old is too old? Is there an age requirement at the front door that keeps everyone over the age of 39 out?A friend of mine was talking about her father who experienced a major lifestyle change late in life, and it reminds me of just how little age really matters when we want to start an active lifestyle. Well call her father Rob.Rob lived an active lifestyle in his earlier years. Even in his mid-70s, Rob was still walking the golf course three to five times a week, actively playing tennis, and traveling abroad whenever he had the chance.During his travels, Rob had an accident, falling down a set of stone stairs in Istanbul and tearing up both of his knees. He had an emergency surgery and experienced months of physical therapy (疗法), but was told that as a man heading into his 80s, he would never be able to walk unassisted again. However, after months of relying on others for transportation, Rob decided to do something about his condition, old age or not.Rob started going to the gym, worked with a personal trainer, and set a realistic goal for his future: to walk around the block without a walking stick. For someone who could walk 18 holes in an afternoon, a block might seem insignificant, but Rob knew he had to start somewhere. He began leg exercises, started a healthy diet, and kept at his scheduled workouts.It paid off. Today, Rob is walking around the neighborhood unassisted, playing golf, and traveling up and down the coast. Rob still has a lot of progress in his future, but he is already miles ahead of where he started.4. What does the underlined word “potential” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Passive.B. Serious.C. PossibleD.

B【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述70多岁的Rob通过坚持锻炼最终恢复健康的故事告诉我们不管我们决定做什么年龄不是障碍。【4题详解】词句猜测题。根据下文“Many men and women thinking about a personal fitness plan sometimes worry that “Im too old to start exercising,” or “going to the gym is something for younger people, not me”. (许多考虑个人健身计划的男性和女性有时会担心“我太老了，不能开始锻炼”，或者“去健身房是年轻人的事，而不是我的事”)”可知，很多可能去健身的人因为年龄而放弃了。由此猜测划线词意为“可能的”，与possible同义。故选C。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Rob started going to the gym, worked with a personal trainer, and set a realistic goal for his future: to walk around the block without a walking stick.(Rob开始去健身房，和私人教练一起锻炼，并为自己的未来设定了一个现实的目标：不用拐杖绕着街区走一圈)”和“He began leg exercises, started a healthy diet, and kept at his scheduled workouts.(他开始了腿部锻炼，开始了健康的饮食，并坚持他计划的锻炼)”以及最后一段的“It paid off. Today, Rob is walking around the neighborhood unassisted, playing golf, and traveling up and down the coast. (它有了回报。今天，Rob在无人帮助的情况下在附近散步，打高尔夫，并在海岸旅行)”可知，通过求助于私人教练，Rob坚持锻炼，最后完全康复了。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“During his travels, Rob had an accident, falling down a set of stone stairs in Istanbul and tearing up both of his knees. He had an emergency surgery and experienced months of physical therapy (疗法), but was told that as a man heading into his 80s, he would never be able to walk unassisted again. However, after months of relying on others for transportation, Rob decided to do something about his condition, old age or not.(在旅途中，Rob在伊斯坦布尔发生了意外，从一组石头楼梯上摔下来，双膝撕裂。他接受了紧急手术，并经历了数月的物理治疗，但医生告诉他，作为一个80多岁的人，他再也不能独自行走了。然而，在几个月依靠别人行走之后，Rob决定为自己的状况做点什么，不管他是不是老了)”可知，Rob不仅挺过手术，并且决定靠自己走路，由此可知他很坚强；根据倒数第二段的“Rob started going to the gym, worked with a personal trainer, and set a realistic goal for his future: to walk around the block without a walking stick.(Rob开始去健身房，和私人教练一起工作，并为自己的未来设定了一个现实的目标：不用拐杖绕着街区走一圈)”和“He began leg exercises, started a healthy diet, and kept at his scheduled workouts.(他开始了腿部锻炼，开始了健康的饮食，并坚持他计划的锻炼)”以及最后一段的“It paid off. Today, Rob is walking around the neighborhood unassisted, playing golf, and traveling up and down the coast. (它有了回报。今天，Rob在无人帮助的情况下在附近散步，打高尔夫，并在海岸旅行)”可知，Rob定下目标并且坚持锻炼，终于可以自己走路，由此可知他意志坚定。综上，故选B。【7题详解】推理判断题。结合文章讲述70多岁的Rob通过坚持锻炼最终恢复健康的故事，再结合第一段的“One concern I keep hearing from potential gym goers is the age barrier (障碍).(我一直从潜在的健身者那里听到的一个担忧是年龄障碍)”可知，文章主要告诉我们年龄不是障碍。故选B。CIt has been almost six and a half years since the American music group Pearl Jam published its tenth album. That changed Friday when the band dropped its eleventh collection Gigaton. Critics (批评家) have noted that this new album includes hard rock. Entertainments Weekly called the music “a gathering storm of guitars”. In other words, there is some loud and wild music on Gigaton. But most reviewers agree that Pearl Jam continues to experiment with less traditional rock and roll sound on the album.But back to the name of the album Gigaton can also mean the weight mass equal to 1 billion tons. The word is most often used these days in stories related to climate science and environmental damage. In fact, former U. S. President Obama famously defined the word during a speech about climate change in Alaska and the Arctic. When discussing the huge yearly loss of ice from Alaskas glaciers, he compared the amount to the size of the national Mall in Washington, as if it were a solid (固体的) block that stood almost 700 meters tall.And climate change issues are at the heart of Pearl Jams Gigaton. The album picture shows icefalls in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is one of the northernmost places where humans live in the world. Some climate scientists say it is warming faster than any other place. Pearl Jam has spent most of its 30-year existence on environmental causes. The band and its members have won honors for raising money, climate change educational efforts and more. They also put money into environmental health projects to reduce the groups carbon footprint.Pearl Jam was officially introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The lead singer Vedders opening comments were about the environment. “So, climate change is real,” he said. “And we.cannot.cannot be the generation that history will look back upon and wonder why they didnt do anything possible to solve the biggest danger in our time.”8. What can we know about the new album Gigaton?A. It includes more loud music.B. It receives fans high praise.C. It is Pearl Jams tenth album.D. It has new musical elements (要素).9. Why are Obamas words mentioned?A. To give a definition of Gigaton.B. To call on people to focus on glaciers.C. To show the influence of climate change.D. To explain the character of Alaskas glaciers.10. What do the members of Pearl Jam always try to do?A. Fund healthcare projects.B. Build houses in Svalbard.C. Fight against climate change.D. Team climate scientists up.11. What can be the best title of the text?A. Pearl Jams New Album Makes a HitB. Gigaton: a Gathering Storm of GuitarsC. Pearl Jam: an Famous Band in the WorldD. A New Album Rocks Hard on Climate Change【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了Pearl Jam关注气候变化的新专辑Gigaton添加了硬摇滚元素。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段的“Critics (批评家) have noted that this new album includes hard rock.(评论家们注意到这张新专辑包含了硬摇滚)”可知，新专辑Gigaton有新的音乐元素硬摇滚。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的“In fact, former U. S. President Obama famously defined the word during a speech about climate change in Alaska and the Arctic. When discussing the huge yearly loss of ice from Alaskas glaciers, he compared the amount to the size of the national Mall in Washington, as if it were a solid (固体的) block that stood almost 700 meters tall. (事实上，美国前总统奥巴马在一次关于阿拉斯加和北极气候变化的演讲中定义了这个词。在讨论阿拉斯加冰川每年巨大的冰损失时，他将其与华盛顿国家广场的大小进行了比较，就好像它是一个近700米高的固体块)”可推知，提到奥巴马的话是为了解释什么是Gigaton，即给它下定义。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“Pearl Jam has spent most of its 30-year existence on environmental causes. The band and its members have won honors for raising money, climate change educational efforts and more. They also put money into environmental health projects to reduce the groups carbon footprint.(Pearl Jam成立30年来的大部分时间都在致力于环保事业。乐队及其成员在筹集资金、气候变化教育等方面获得了荣誉。他们还向环境健康项目投入资金，以减少该集团的碳足迹)”可知，Pearl Jam的成员一直与气候变化作斗争。
