话题一 生活与学习
Passage 1
(福建卷)Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持)a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging,yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However,studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups,it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social,release endorphins(内啡肽),and improve your strength. Additionally,group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate,then group training is an even better option for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision(监管)of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored,you can attend an upbeat group fitness class thatl’l keep your workout on track. Dont’ let fitness frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,its’ extremely important to surround yourself with people whol’l provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldnt’ scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldnt’ expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift,encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class,with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people whol’l provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First,decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Dont’ let negativity ruin your motivation.(文章内容有微调)

Passage 2
Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful,and fairly deserted.
The last evening of our vacation,however,we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice; I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now,the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder(侵入者)had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden,the nearby vending(自动售卖)machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking,but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs,and actually saved us,but no one was around at all. Not a soul.
It’s one vacation I will never forget.

话题二 做人与做事
(福建卷)Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges,setbacks(挫折)and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱)that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering,the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It’s the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that,you begin to feel a little“dead”inside because you’re dropping“you”.
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop,it’s just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.(文章内容有微调)
一、阅读理解
1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should______.
A. slow down and live a simple life
B. be careful when we choose to change
C. stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D. be content with what we already have
2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A. To focus on every detail.
B. To decide and take immediate action.
C. To listen to those close to us.
D. To think twice before we act.
3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. Escape from your punishment.
B. Realization of your dreams.
C. Freedom from your tension.
D. Reduction of your expectations.
4. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.
B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.
D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.

passage 1
一、阅读理解
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。参加集体锻炼,不仅对我们的身体有益,而且还能促进我们的心理健康。
1. C细节理解题。
【解题思路】根据第一段第四句“However...when exercise is performed in groups,it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.”以及下文可知,参加集体锻炼对我们的身体健康很有好处,但是此处作者强调它还能促进我们的心理健康。故答案选C。
2. A词义猜测题。
【解题思路】根据上文中的“If you’re tired of...and becoming bored...”可知,作者建议你在厌烦时去参加这个课程;由此可推知,这个课程能消除你的无聊感,所以upbeat的意思应为“令人愉快的”,与cheerful意思相近。故答案选A。
3. D细节理解题。
【解题思路】根据倒数第二段第一句“If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,its’ extremely important to surround yourself with people whol’l provide you with the proper emotional support.”可知,当你想寻找情感上的支持时,很有必要在你周围聚集一些会真正给你支持的人。故答案选D。

分析:本句是一个复合句。Surrounding yourself... support在句中充当主语,其中的关系代词who引导定语从句,修饰people;while引导的时间状语从句省略了you are。
译文:当你通过运动实现健康和健身的目标时,让那些能给你提供尊重和支持的人在你周围可能是很有好处的。

3. A词义猜测题。

4. D细节理解题。

二、写作拓展
【满分攻略】
本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者一家人在一次本应愉快的假期的最后一晚突遇险境,被一个年轻人跟踪,但就在一家人惊慌失措之际,附近自动售卖机的声音惊走了坏人,最终作者一家人有惊无险。根据续写第一段的首句,本段应介绍事后回忆当时一家人的反应。原文中作者突出介绍了一家之主父亲的惊慌,本段可就此进行续写。故事的寓意往往在于指导人生,传递积极信息,从这次特殊的经历中,我们可以看到幸运的影子,但同时一家人脱险更主要的原因还在于一家人的共同相守,没有在遇到危险时各奔东西。
One possible version:
Later we often remembered and talked about the night. Dad was really ashamed when the other two members of the family talked of his fear when hearing and seeing the young man.However,we all knew that anyone,whether old or young,might be afraid of facing that dangerous situation in a strange area. At least,he didn’t leave us for his own safety but warned us to go back to our hotel room as quickly as possible.
In our life there may be other dangerous situations. Maybe next time therel’l be nobody happening to appear and save us by coincidence. Whatever we meet,we should just don’t forget:stay with our family and never desert them for our own safety. Once we have tried our best to face the danger together,maybe God will send someone to help us. And that may be how luck comes to us.(131 words)
