What would it take to persuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep you away from diseases? To live to a healthy old age? You'd think any of those reasons would be enough to get Americans exercising. Yet a vast majority of Americans have thus far failed to swallow the "exercise pill".

Now a research by psychologists strongly suggests it's time to think of current well-being（幸福）and happiness as motivators for exercise instead of future health, weight loss and body image.

Dr. Segar, one of the researchers, believes that immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones. "People who say they exercise for the quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exercise for its health benefits." He said. '

Other studies have shown that what keeps people moving depends on age, sex and life circumstances. For those of college age, physical attractiveness typically heads the list of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships and sense of community that may otherwise be missing from their lives. Improving daily well-being is the most influential factor for the women. Men indicate they are motivated by more distant health benefits, but this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs.

"Exercise should be encouraged but the emphasis on weight loss, disease prevention and healthy aging should be reduced." Dr. Segar concluded. "Exercise can make people feel more energetic, less stressed and, yes, happier."

1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Be free from diseases.

B. Take some diet pills.

C. Improve their figure.

D. Keep physically active.

2. According to the passage, which of the following persons may exercise more in a year?

A. Jane, who decides to lose weight.

B. David, who exercises for future health.

C. Mary, who enjoys exercising with her son..

D. Mark, who is suffering from a serious illness.

3.According to Paragraph 4, which group of people tends to exercise for friendship?

A. Men. B. Women. C. The elderly. D. College students.

4.What is the author mainly arguing in the passage?

A. Immediate rewards of exercise should be emphasized.

B. Distant benefits should be the motivators for exercise.

C. Feeling relaxed is more important than future health.

D. Men and women take exercise for different purposes.

How the Grand Canyon (大峽谷) was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.

Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤壩) bursts.

Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔巖) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.

Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.

The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.

The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.

1.In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.

A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes

B. due to river flows over millions of years

C. owing to the burst of artificial dams

D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?

A. Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.

B. Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

C. People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.

D. The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.

3.From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.

A. there are great lakes on Mars

B. there are active volcanoes on Mars

C. there might be cities on Mars

D. there might be life on Mars

4.The passage can be titled as _______.

A. Lakes on Earth and Mars

B. The Cause of Lake Formation

C. The Force of Dam Breaking

D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆福建漳州市高三上期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The 4-year-old boy was mentally disabled, unable to speak in complete sentences and unable to play with other children because of his violent fits(發(fā)作) of hitting and biting.

The decision facing one Brooklyn jury（陪審團）was how much a landlord should pay in damages to the boy — named “G.M.M.” in court documents — after an investigation showed he had been living in an apartment illegally coated with lead paint.

Attorneys（律師） representing G.M.M. said $3.4 million was the right number, arguing that the boy would have had a bright career ahead of him; both of his parents had graduated from college and his mother received a master’s degree. But the landlord’s defense put the figure at less than half that — $1.5 million. Attorney Roger Archibald noted that because the boy was Hispanic, G.M.M. was unlikely to attain the advanced education that would provide to such a large income.

The 4-year-old’s case is a rare public look at one corner of the American legal system that explicitly uses race and gender to determine how much victims or their families should receive in compensation（賠償） when they are seriously injured or killed.

As a result, white and male victims often receive larger awards than people of color and women in similar cases. These differences largely derive from projections of how much more money individuals would have earned over their lifetimes had they not been injured — projections that take into account average earnings and employment levels by race and gender.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Description of the boy’s damage.

B. Situation of the boy’s family.

C. Compensation for the boy’s damage.

D. Advantages of American legal system.

2.What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The boy’s illness resulted from the lead paint of the apartment.

B. The compensation mainly depends on the costs for treatment.

C. The boy would earn a lot of money without the injury.

D. The jury is in favor of the G.M.M attorneys in the boy’s case.

3.What factors seem to affect the jury’s decision?

A. Gender and education.

B. Race and gender.

C. Race and education.

D. Social status and education.

4.What does the author feel about the boy’s case?

A. Angry.B. Satisfied.C. Unjust.D. Optimistic.
