台州市书生中学 　　 2021 学年 第二学期 　 　 高一起始考英语试卷 （本卷满分：100 分 　考试时间：90 分钟） 2022.02 一、阅读理解（共 14 小题，每小题 2.5 分） A Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either usually have healthier hearts, stronger bones and lower body weights than those who do little exercise. But does it matter whether you spend time walking or running? Arguments can be made for both, and which is right for you depends on your goals and your present fitness level. “The key difference between running and walking is how many calories you are burning—not per mile, but per minute of exercise,” says Paul D. Thompson, a doctor at Hartford Hospital. “Running is a more-efficient(高效的) movement and it’s more demanding on the body, so it burns more calories per minute,” Thompson says. “But if you’ve got the time to walk long enough to burn the same amount of calories, then walking is fine.” That said, if your final goal is to lose weight, chances are that neither running nor walking alone is going to do the trick. Research has shown that it needs to be done along with calorie control. In a recent study that analyzed data from nearly 50,000 people, researchers found that runners’ risk of heart disease was 4.5 percent lower than that of those who were inactive. But walkers who burned the same amount of calories daily had a risk level that was 9 percent lower than those who were inactive. “Running gets the reputation(名声) for causing injuries because many people who are just starting to run try to do too much too quickly,” says Carol Ewing Garber, a professor at Columbia University. “And they often get injured as a result. If you want to progress from walking to running, do it slowly, gradually increasing your speed, distance and the frequency of your runs. Running may be more highly-intense(高强度的) and calorie-burning than walling, but walking is a great way to ease into exercise and make sure you are staying physically active every day. The bottom line is that getting exercise of any kind is beneficial—if you keep doing it. “The best exercise is the one you are going to do,” Thompson says. “There are extra benefits to be gained from running, but what’s most important from a public health point of view is that everyone gets out and does some kind of exercise.” 1. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Running can reduce people’s fat quickly and safely. B. Walking is better than running for busy people. C. Exercise on its own is not enough to lose weight. D. Walking is more demanding on the body. 2. What can we learn from the recent study? A. Walking can reduce the risk of having heart disease. B. Walkers are more likely to get heart disease than runners. C. Running burns fewer calories than walking. D. Inactive people are free from heart problems. 3. Which of the following would Thompson most probably agree with? A. We’d better walk slowly. B. Any exercise is better than none. C. We’d better choose to run. D. Just walk before you run. B Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank （ 存 钱 罐 ） onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins,but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack． "That aroused my curiosity ， " Jackie told CBS News. "Nobody messes with the piggy bank." After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings． "What are you doing with that money ？ " Jackie asked her granddaughter. "I'm taking it to school," Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money . "I'm going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn't get milk-her mom doesn't have milk money and I do." Jackie's heart melted at Sunshine's words.

To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause.Within a week, Jackie raised more than ﹩1
