Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many ads for food. Too few activities. Different reasons are given for America’s weight problem---a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.

Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in P.E. classes.

Researchers say one possible reason for this is a decrease in the number of school nurses. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.

Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also increase the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education(NASPE).

She also says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.

Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings –that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.

Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, rugby and gymnastics.

The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(監(jiān)督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. What leads to the weight problem in America.

B. Whether students should have more P.E. classes.

C. Why there have been more injuries in P.E. classes.

D. What kinds of activities are safe for school students.

2.We can know from the third paragraph that__________.

A. nurses are paid more in hospitals than in schools in America.

B. many nurses in American schools don’t have good skills.

C. fewer people choose to become a nurse in America.

D. American schools need more school nurses at present.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. P.E. classes become more dangerous for students now in America.

B. Fewer and fewer students are interested in P.E. classes in America.

C. The number of P.E. teachers in schools must be increased now.

D. P.E. classes follow the traditional ideas in physical education.

4.According to Cheryl Richardson,____________.

A. students should do more exercise when they are at school

B. teachers are partly responsible for injuries in P.E. classes

C. the equipment for P.E. classes must be improved in all schools.

D. P.E. teachers should give students more freedom in their classes

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

You don’t have to be spineless(沒有骨氣的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

You can not expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.

At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right and then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.

1.One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along with others is _____.

A. to draw attention of our friends

B. to demand the best share of everything

C. to look for treasure in order to be successful

D. to pay more attention to other people’s good points

2.According to the passage, if one wants to be popular he has to _____.

A. be polite and friendly

B. give up some rights

C. avoid arguing with other people

D. be ready to change his or her character

3.The passage shows that there is no perfect person but everyone should be blamed if he _____.

A. is no better than others

B. is selfish and lazy

C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault

D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality

4.The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _____.

A. no better than others

B. not the same as others

C. as having something better than others

D. as having better chances than others

5.The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _____.

A. train you to be perfect

B. show you the way to be happy

C. tell you how to act when you dislike a person

D. teach you how to be popular among your friends

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.

1.To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as______.

A. a waste of money B. a waste of time

C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity

2.The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _______ of clothing.

A. cost B. appearance

C. comfort D. suitability

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.

B. The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.

C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.

D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

4.By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" the writer means that ______.

A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at

B. women are better able to put up with discomfort

C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D. men are more stable and reliable in character

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年吉林長春外國語校高一下第一次月考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

With computers becoming more and more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters (漢字）. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（筆畫）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their writings are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

1.Which of the following can BEST serve as the title of the passage?

A. To Type or To Hand Write

B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing

C. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand

D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

2.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because .

A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently

B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays

C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character

D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China

3.The underlined expression “taking stock in” in the fourth paragraph probably means .

A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on

C. becoming upset about D. looking forward to

4.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that .

A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer

B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day

C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting

D. the typed article better expresses one’s emotion and quality
