In recent years, more and more studies have shown that regular exercise can improve students’ academic performance, reduce stress, and increase their overall happiness.One study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, found that students who engaged in moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes a day showed better cognitive function and memory retention compared to those who did not exercise. The study also suggested that physical activity can help students focus better and reduce the symptoms of ADHD.Moreover, exercise is a great way to relieve stress. A study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health revealed that students who exercised regularly had lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in their bloodstream. This, in turn, helped them to handle stress more effectively and improve their emotional well-being.In addition to its mental health benefits, exercise also contributes to better academic performance. A survey conducted by the American Council on Exercise showed that students who participated in sports or physical activitiesscored higher on standardized tests than their non-athletic peers. This is because exercise improves blood circulation, which in turn enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, leading to better cognitive function.With all these benefits, it is essential for students to incorporate regular exercise into their daily routines. However, many students struggle to find the time to exercise. To help them, schools can offer physical education classes, organize extracurricular sports activities, and encourage students to participate in community sports programs.Questions:1.According to the passage, what is one of the benefits of exercise for students’ academic performance?A) Improved physical healthB) Enhanced cognitive function and memory retentionC) Lower stress levelsD) Better emotional well-being2.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A) Exercise is a great way to relieve stress.B) Regular exercise can improve students’ academic performance.C) Students with ADHD can benefit from exercise.D) Physical activity can help students focus better.3.Which of the following statements is NOT supported by the passage?A) Exercise can help students with ADHD.B) Regular exercise can improve students’ academic performance.C) Students who do not exercise have lower levels of cortisol.D) Physical activity enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain.Answers:1.B) Enhanced cognitive function and memory retention2.A) Exercise is a great way to relieve stress.3.C) Students who do not exercise have lower levels of cortisol.三、完型填空（15分）Section III: Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

She had always been fascinated by nature and loved to explore the wonders of the world around her. As she walked deeper into the forest, she noticed a small, clear stream that flowed gently over the rocks.1.The story begins by describing a__________morning.A. cloudyB. sunnyC. rainyD. windyLily followed the stream and came across a beautiful flower that she had never seen before.

The sentence means “The students are going to the library because we need some new books.”2、In the_____________days, people used to travel by horseback, which was_____________than traveling by car.A. past, much slowerB. old, fasterC. present, as fastD. future, much fasterAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “past, much slower” because “past” refers to a time that is in the past, and “much slower” correctly contrasts the speed of travel by horseback in the past with the speed of travel by car, which is generally faster.3、In the___________of the park, there is a beautiful lake that reflects the___________of the sky.A. middle, colorsB. center, blueC. middle, colors of the skyD. center, blue skyAnswer: CExplanation: The correct phrase to describe the location within the park is “in the middle of the park.” Additionally, the sentence is referring to the colors of the sky reflected in the lake, so “colors of the sky” is the correct choice.4、She___________her homework yesterday, but now she has finished it.A. didn’t doB. ha sn’t doneC. doesn’t doD. didn’t have doneAnswer: AExplanation: The sentence describes an action that happened in the past, which is a completed action. The correct past simple negative form to use is “didn’t do,” indicating that she did not do her home work yesterday. The other options are incorrect because they suggest actions in the present perfect or future perfect, which do not match the context of the sentence.5.The teacher,____________was very strict with us, retired last month.A. whoseB. whoC. thatD. whichAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “who” because it is used as a relative pronoun to refer to “The teacher” in the non-restrictive relative clause “who was very strict with us.”6.It was not until yesterday that he____________the truth of the matter.A. realizedB. had realizedC. was realizingD. have realizedAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “realized” because the sentence is using the structure “It was not until + past time + that + past simple,” indicating that the realization of the truth occurred in the past.7.In the 7 morning, I 8 up early and decided to go for a run in the park.A. last / gotB. first / gotC. next / gotD. early / gotAnswer: B. first / gotExplanation: The correct answer is “first” because it indicates the first morning in a sequence, which is the context given. “Got up” is the correct phrasal verb to use here, meaning to wake up.8.She 9 her homework last night and now she feels 10 to take a break.A. finished / tiredB. finishes / tiredC. finishing / tiredD. finished / tiredlyAnswer: A. finished / tiredExplanation: The correct answer is “finished” because the sentence is referring to an action that was completed in the past. “Tired” is the correct adjective to describe how she f eels after finishing her homework. “Finishes” would be incorrect because it is in the present tense, not past tense. “Finishing” would also be incorrect as it is the present participle, not the past simple form. “Tiredly” is an adverb and does not fit the context of describing her feeling after finishing her homework.9.I______(be) reading a book when you______(call) me yesterday.A. was, calledB. were, calledC. was, were calledD. were, was calledAnswer: AExplanation: In the first part of the sentence, “I” is the subject, and “was” is the past continuous tense of “be,” indicating that the action was in progress at a specific past time. In the second part, “you” is the subject, and “called” is the past simple tense of “call,” indicating that the action w as completed at a specific past time. Therefore, the correct answer is “was, called.”10.If I______(have) more time, I______(do) my homework yesterday.A. had, would have doneB. have, would doC. had, would doD. have, would have doneAnswer: AExplanation: This sentence is a conditional sentence with a past perfect tense in the first clause and a past perfect tense in the second clause. The first clause uses “If I had more time” to express a hypothetical situation in the past, and the second clause uses “I would have done” to express the result of that hypothetical situation. Therefore, the correct answer is “had, would have done.”五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1、What are the main differences between a novel and a play in terms of narrative structure and audience engagement?答案：1.Narrative Structure:a.A novel typically follows a linear narrative, with a clear beginning,middle, and end, allowing readers to follow the story sequentially.b.A play, on the other hand, uses a non-linear structure, often with scenesand acts that can be experienced out of chronological order, depending on the performance.2.Audience Engagement:a.In a novel, the audience engages with the story through reading andimagination, creating their own mental images of the characters andsettings.b.In a play, the audience engages through live performance, experiencingthe story through the actors’ performan ces and the physical setting of the stage.解析：This question requires an understanding of the basic differences between a novel and a play. The answer outlines the distinct narrative structures and the ways in which audiences engage with each form of literature. It highlights the linear nature of novels versus the more flexible and non-linear structure of plays, as well as the different methods of audience engagement, such as imagination in novels and live performance in plays.3、What are the main differences between the past simple tense and the present perfect tense in English grammar?答案：1.The past simple tense is used to describe actions or states that happened at a specific time in the past, without any reference to the present.2.The present perfect tense is used to describe actions or states that have happened at an unspecified time in the past and have a present result.解析：This question tests the understanding of the past simple and present perfecttenses in English. The past simple tense is typically used for past events without a clear connection to the present, while the present perfect tense is used to show a connection between the past and the present, often emphasizing the result or outcome of the action. For example, “I visited the museum yest erday” (past simple) vs.“I have visited the museum before” (present perfect).4、How do you form the future continuous tense in English?答案：1.The future continuous tense is formed by combining the word “will” with the base form of the verb plus “ing.”2.It is used to express actions or states that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.解析：This question focuses on the formation of the future continuous tense, which is used to describe actions that will be ongoing at a particular time in the future. It is important to note that the future continuous tense is not as common as the simple present tense for future actions. For example, “I will be reading a book at 6 PM tomorrow” or “They will be watching a movie tonight.” This tense emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action at the specified future time.5、After reading the passage about environmental protection, list three ways in which individuals can contribute to reducing pollution in their daily lives. Then, explain why you think one of these methods is the most effective.Answer:•Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (the 3Rs)•Use public transportation, carpool, bike, or walk instead of driving alone •Conserve water and energy at homeExplanation for the most effective method:I believe that using public transportation, carpooling, biking, or walking instead of driving alone is the most effective way to reduce pollution. This is because the transportation sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to air pollution and climate change. By choosing more sustainable transport options, we can drastically cut down on the number of vehicles on the road, leading to less carbon dioxide and other pollutants being released into the atmosphere. Additionally, it helps to reduce traffic congestion, which not only lowers emissions but also improves the overall quality of life in urban areas by decreasing noise and travel time.解析：本题考查学生对环保知识的理解以及他们将这些知识应用到日常生活中的能力。
