The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine. As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one coming most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.
Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20- year-old Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window, in visible pain.
Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.
It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, "My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly." For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.
4. Where was the first sound actually from?
A. A house on fire. B. A car crash.
C. The bedroom window. D. The basement.
5. What do we know about Quintin Thompson?
A. He saved his car from fire. B. He was successfully rescued.
C. He remained calm all the time. D. He was capable of helping himself out.

7. Which words can best describe Damian Languell?

C. Courageous and noble. D. Ambitious and reliable.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine.(清晨8点15分， Damian Languell被吵醒的声音太大了，以至于他以为那声音是从缅因州Wade的家中传出来的)以及A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.(一辆汽车绕在树的底部，发动机着火了)可推知，第一个声音实际上是车祸发出的。故选B。

【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly.(我很同情汤普森。当你接近那种程度的伤害时，你会直接感受到)可推知，正是这种同情心促使Languell伸出援手的，由此可知，划线单词意思为“同情心”。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt.

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第三小题，根据下文My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly.(我很同情汤普森。当你接近那种程度的伤害时，你会直接感受到)可推知，正是这种同情心促使Languell伸出援手的，故划线单词意思为“同情心”。故选C。

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.
In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.
“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places-the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle,” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.
By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said lead author, Tim Gordon.
8. What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?
A. Diverse species. B. Noise pollution.
C. Fishing industry. D. Climbing temperatures.
9. What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?
A. Removing damaged coral reefs. B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.
C. Building new homes for sea species. D. Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish.
10. Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?
A. To provide some findings of the study. B. To show the progress of the experiment.
C. To explain reasons for the new approach. D. To give another solution to the problem.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The attempts are in vain. B. Natural recovery is impossible.
C. Initial success has been achieved. D. The coral reefs have returned to normal.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】

As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well- organized and growing "fitness” market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?
Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there's widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary （久坐的）and out-of-shape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy （寿命）in the U. S. dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modem people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry.
How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one's body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise.
So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?
12. What does the author tell us about fitness industry in paragraph 2?
A. It provides better technology.
B. It is supported by most people.
C. It brings about positive effects.
D. It costs people too much money.
13. What is the main reason why people fail to do physical exercise?
A. Not enough equipment. B. Lack of inner drive.
C. Misguided instructions. D. Embarrassing living conditions.
14. What does the author seem to agree with?
A. Change attitudes to fitness. B. Rely on standard practice.
C. Seek more potential customers. D. Turn to more advanced programs.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lost in fitness B. Misunderstanding about fitness
C. Evolution of fitness D. Importance of fitness
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要内容为分析健身市场的发展带来的好处，尽管医疗技术高度发达，健康健身产业蓬勃发展，但现代人的健康水平却在下降。问题产生很大一部分原因是人们缺乏内在动机。作者建议应当改变对健康的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there's widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.（显然，这些最新的发展带来了很多好处:人们普遍意识到定期锻炼的重要性，几乎每个社区都有一个健身房或健身俱乐部，人们可以去那里或花钱去那里锻炼，我们对人体如何工作了解得更多）可知健身产业带来了积极的影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中A large part of it is motivation.（其中很大一部分是动机）可知人们不锻炼身体的主要原因是缺乏动机或内在驱动力。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?（或者，解决方案将来自一个不同的心态，一个更简单的方法和实践，以及一个全新的文化?）可推知作者似乎同意改变对健康的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well- organized and growing "fitness” market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?（当我们回顾几个世纪以来健身运动演变，以及一个组织良好、不断发展的“健身”市场和行业的出现，我们有必要扪心自问:我们失去了什么，又得到了什么?）以及文章主要内容为分析健身市场的发展带来的好处，以及其中存在的问题和问题产生的原因。故A选项“迷恋健身”符合文章标题。故选A。
