ABehaviours such as smoking,poor eating habits,and physical inactivity(静止) greatly increase a child’s risk of getting cancer in adulthood.For many kids,these and other harmful habits are already well established by the age of 13.In America,almost two-thirds of cancers could be prevented if these behaviours never started.The earlier children learn how to prevent illness,the healthier they will be.The ways to make healthy decisions are learned during childhood.It’s far more important to practice a good habit from the beginning than it is to quit an unhealthy one!School health isn’t just about what’s taught in the classroom.It’s about creating policies and programs that increase healthful living.It’s about forcing healthy habits every day and every year when kids are in school.Children’s health and education are harmed by risky behaviours such as using tobacco and drugs,failure to use seat belts,carrying weapons,lack of physical activity,and poor diet.A good school health program includes:Health education in the classroom.Healthy choices in the school cafeteria(自助餐厅) and vending(自动销售) machines.Physical education that promotes regular exercise,heart fitness,and sun safety.Family and community involvement.1What is the passage mainly about?A.School health.B.Less acting.C.Eating habit.D.Growing.答案:A详细分析:主旨大意题。

Dad wasn't around, so I never knew him well. He killed himself when I was three years old, leaving mom with the job of raising nine kids. She was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested. With my mom as my example, I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want.Even as a little boy, I knew I was going to be successful. Of course, I dreamed about what I wanted to be when I grew up. But regardless of what I chose, I wanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do, but also as a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons.Surprising as it might seem, basketball wasn't in my plans. One day, my mom cut a rim(边缘) off an old water barrel and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. By junior high, I started playing basketball on a team. I loved to compete. There was a positive high I got by going out and playing against other people and working hard to win. For me, it paid off. I just let my success in basketball take its course, but I always put the effort in, every day.I am grateful for the life I've enjoyed as a basketball star. But when I see those shirts that say “Basketball is life”，I think Yeah, right! It is not life. It can be exciting. But the most important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.16.

A（2019·新课标卷II）Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are l ittle powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries，strawberries are highest in vitamin C，although，because of their seeds，raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质)，iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃)，they are so delicious who cares? However，they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits，frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick，cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose，select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like，a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks，depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer，you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert，to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party；they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.2. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.3. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.4. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.BMax worked as a security guard at a famous museum. One day，Max noticed a very pretty woman visiting the exhibit he was guarding. He had seen her before. In fact，she often came to see the rare jewelry exhibit，sometimes several times a week.When the woman came to visit，she often talked with Max. During one of their talks at the museum，he found out that she was studying Italian. He lied and told her he had always wanted to learn Italian. He was simply using Italian as a trick. And it worked! Max and the woman met every Saturday afternoon to study Italian.During the lessons，they also talked about themselves. Max told her many details about his security job. What Max didn’t learn，however，was that the woman was not as innocent as she looked. She was actually an famous international jewel pilferer! Her latest goal was the rare Black Diamond! This diamond is the most valuable diamond in the world and it was part of the exhibit that Max was guarding. All her attention on him was a trick to learn more about the museum’s security system.One night，she entered the building using the security code that Max shared with her.Then she walked up to the glass case protecting the Black Diamond and unlocked it with the key she stole from Max. As she held the diamond in her hands，she laughed，"The Black Diamond is mine!" Just then the lights went on，an alarm sounded and a team of police ran in. They caught her! As a police officer handcuffed her，the lead police investigator came into the room. Her surprise was so strong that she was unable to speak. It was Max.5. What did woman pretend to do in the museum?A. Visit the guard.B. Enjoy the exhibit.第1页/共5页C. Work for the museum.D. Copy the rare jewelry.6. Why did the guard tell a lie to the woman?A. To make an excuse to get close to her.B. To find an opportunity to learn Italian.C. To give her a good impression.D. To get her relaxed.7. What can be inferred from the text?A. The woman fell in love with Max.B. The woman suspected Max was a police before.C. Max had already known the woman’s identity before.D. Max helped the woman slip into the museum personally.CYou might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose，but admit it，you do it too. And while it might be the natural option when there isn’t a box of tissues around，it can be bad for you. The main reasons people feel the need to pick their nose is to clear it of dried liquid，stop an itch（痒），or just because it feels good. Boogers（鼻屎）form when dried liquid and cilia，the tiny hairs that line the nostrils（鼻孔），trap the dust，dirt，and other things. When boogers build up in your nose，it can be uncomfortable，and sometimes just blowing into a tissue doesn’t do the trick.Otolaryngologist Erich P.V oigt，MD，told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils. That’s not terribly damaging，but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body，it can cause a cold and flu. So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils，making you want to pick，consider damping the air at home，or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.Children，who are most famous for having a finger up their nose，sometimes don’t realize how much injury they’re causing，and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeds.So，next time you go to pick your nose，think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers，and maybe reach for a tissue instead. Even if you’re alone，and not waiting for the light to turn green，please，use a tissue.8．Why do people pick their nose?A. Because they want to disgust others.B. Because they have the need to do it.C. Because they have nothing else to do.D. Because they don’t have tissues around.9．Which of the following can replace the underlined part " do the trick" in Paragraph 1?A. actB. workC. playD. help10．Which can help people avoid a cold and flu according to the text?A. Stopping nose picking.B. Using tissues regularly.C. Taking a shower every day.D. Keeping the air wet at home.11．What should you do when you have to pick your nose?A. Be careful not to cause bleeding.B. Use a tissue instead of bare fingers.C. Wait for the light to turn red if you are driving.D. Wash up your hands and clear your fingernails.DA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin (褪黑激素)，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice第3页/before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime ， the greater burden you will put on your body at night.12.According to the text ， the mice fed with daytime milk . A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious C. were less activeD. woke up later13.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times. B. It can make people more energetic. C. It exists in milk in great amount. D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.14.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat ， Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health 15.How does the author support the theme of the text? A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 3 A healthy life
单元检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960’s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most peo ple had a very good life.
Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
1. Camera was invented after ________.
A. 1850
