　　Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless”, he says now with a laugh. But back then, he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.
　　It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
　　The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
　　Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ’You are completely crazy, ’” Saunders says.
　　In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
　　Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
　　This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
【文章大意】本文介绍了桑德斯从十五岁生日收到山地自行车开始改变, 到成为跨越南极和北极的第一人的非凡成就。

(2020·长春高二检测)
　　Running on the beach can certainly be a good thing. It’s completely different from running on the pavement, a track or trails with soft surfaces.
　　For starters, sand can be hard because it has an uneven(不平的) surface and constantly moves under your feet. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or pavement! But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.
　　You also might feel painful afterward because beaches tend to slope(倾斜) downward, toward the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body—including your ankle, leg or knee—might feel more painful because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
　　Some beach runners tend to run barefoot. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and run short distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet.
　　Despite these difficulties, running on sand can be a smart choice for athletes because running on it can decrease the bad influence on your body during high-intensity workouts. This could potentially lead to less muscle damage and less pain. Women had less myoglobin(肌红蛋白)—a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain—in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces, such as sand, may reduce muscle damage.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些在沙滩上跑步的好处以及需要注意的事项。
5. What makes running on sand difficult for starters?
A. The smooth surface. 　 B. The moving surface.
C. The sloping surface. D. The hard surface.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“对于初始者来说, 沙子可能是个挑战, 因为它的表面不平整, 而且在你脚下不停地移动。”可知, 运动的表面使得初始者在沙地上跑步很困难。
6. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Advantage. B. Reason.
C. Surprise. D. Difficulty.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“它给你的身体提供了额外的锻炼, 迫使你锻炼肌肉, 而这些肌肉在坚实的地面上跑步时不会得到太多的锻炼。”可知, 是在描述这种不平衡的一个好处。故可推测划线单词意思为“好处”。
7. What should you avoid when trying running barefoot?
A. Starting slowly.
B. Adapting your feet.
C. Developing some muscles.
D. Running long distances.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“然而, 如果你不习惯赤脚跑步, 开始时要慢慢来, 跑短距离。”可知, 要避免赤脚跑长距离。
8. What is the benefit of running on sand to women?
A. Having no muscle damage.
B. Becoming much healthier.
C. Feeling less painful.
D. Having a good feeling.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中“女性在沙滩上跑步后血液中的肌红蛋白含量比在草地上跑步时要低。这表明在较软的地面上跑步, 比如沙地, 可以减少肌肉损伤。”可知, 对女性来说, 在沙滩上跑步的好处是不会那么疼痛。

1. _______ hand with the bags of foodstuffs she was returning with. I had been

9. _______ another.
　　Evelyn and I were drawn to Saidat and we decided to take her home with us. It was difficult 10. _______ (predict) what our parents’ reaction to Saidat would be, but this little girl was fearless-she encouraged us to be too.
1. 【解析】a。此处指母亲强迫我给去集市上购物的姐姐Evelyn 帮忙, “给某人帮忙”是give sb. a hand, 故填a。
2. 【解析】unhappy。根据上句中forced me和下句中I got even more annoyed可知作者不愿去, 不高兴甚至恼怒。根据句意故填unhappy。
3. 【解析】instructions。此处作动词give后的宾语用名词, instruction是可数名词, 根据句意可知应填复数形式instructions。
4. 【解析】that/ which。所填词引导定语从句, 先行词是cucumber指物, 关系词在定语从句中作主语, 故填that/which。
5. 【解析】buying。动词finish后用动词-ing形式作宾语, 故填buying。
6. 【解析】was dressed。be dressed in. . . 穿着……衣服, 与全文时态一致用过去时, 故填was dressed。
