It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm(...

    It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm(闹钟)rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you", or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say "no". I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.

So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

1.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?

A.Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

B.Because she finishes her favorite exercise.

C.Because she enjoys the interesting DVD

D.Because she feels a sense of achievement.

2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A.She doesn’t treat others politely.

B.She likes to make others surprised.

C.Others don’t understand what she does.

D.Others try to help her by offering her food.

3.What does the underlined word "commitment" in the last paragraph mean?

A.Good health. B.Firm belief.

C.A strong power. D.A regular habit.

4.What can we learn about the author from the text?

A.She acts in a strange way.

B.She wants to look different from others.

C.She aims to develop a good body shape.

D.She has difficulty getting along with others.

 

1.D 2.C 3.B 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者不辞辛苦地坚持锻炼,有时还不为他人所理解的故事;她只为自己的坚定信念,即通过锻炼来改变自己。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.”可知作者脸上的微笑不是因为DVD的结束,而是因为一种成功的微笑,因为自己锻炼挑战了身体的极限。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“shake heads(摇了摇头)”和“raise their eyebrows(扬起眉毛)”可知,别人并不理解作者锻炼身体的行为。故选C。 3.词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream?” 和“A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.”可知,作者每天很早起床锻炼,抵御住美味的诱惑,需要坚定的信念和意志力。从而猜测出commitment为“信奉,坚信,深信不疑”之意。故选B。 4.细节理解题。根据全文特别是最后一段中的“…above all improves my body shape.”可知,作者如此坚持锻炼身体的目的是为了塑造一个好的体型。故选C。

This summer I am to attend a English summer camp for Sino-Us cultural exchanges, which I have long been dreamed about.

This programme was aimed at promoting the understanding of the people and culture among the two countries. During the two-weeks English summer camp, we will visit some famous American universities, experience American culture or tour places of interest in the US. Furthermore, we will also be offered a platform practice our spoken English in an authentically language environment.

I am sure of that this programme will help me better understand the cultural difference. Meanwhile, I can introduce my country to American students through this programme, that will definitely be a great success.
