1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。

Teenagers sometimes turn to extreme methods to slim down quickly in a society where being thin is often seen     1     being beautiful. According to a recent survey of senior high school students’ lifestyles, almost one fifth of teenagers     2     (regular) skip meals, one in ten over-exercise and four per cent even take weight-loss medicine. Experts are concerned about     3     (them) health. They are increasing their efforts to educate teenagers about the side     4     (effect) of losing weight too quickly. They have also warned them       5       using such extreme methods, which are harmful.

It is normal for teenagers to be slightly overweight and there is no reason     6       they should be worried. However, for those who are dangerously overweight, it is very important that they try to lose weight properly.

Therefore, it is important to have a healthy     7     (balance) diet since teenagers are still growing and their bodies need a lot of nutrition       8     (function) well. What’s more, they should keep regular hours and get plenty of exercise to stay     9     (energy) and fit. We strongly encourage teenagers to follow these lifestyle tips, because living well is the     10     (safe) and most effective way to get into shape.

2 . Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf causes serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment   and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They   are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.

There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

August 18, 2016 (Rio local time) is a date     1     will go down in Chinese sporting history after China beat the Netherlands 3:1 during the women’s volleyball semi-final at the Rio Olympic Games. After 12 years, the Chinese team has finally made     2     once again to the Olympic final.

After the semi-final match, head coach Lang Ping said she could barely     3     (breath) as the match progressed. “I kept thinking about how to deal with the opponents. Both of our scores increased alternately (交替地). I have never seen such intensity (紧张),” she remarked.

Lang said she knew it would be     4     (challenge) to play against the Netherlands, since the team is quite     5     (compete). “I always told the players they would come across many difficulties, but all we could do was try our best. The Chinese women’s volleyball team is tough.”

Ding Xia, a player, explained that they     6     (analyze) their experiences being defeated by the Netherlands in group games, and then prepared tactics (战术) based on those experiences. Moreover, the most important thing to the Chinese players was maintaining a positive attitude. Ding explained, “To improve our skills in just a few days is     7     (possible), but we used our confidence and morale to better our performance.” As for the victory, Lang is very     8     (pride) of the team’s performance, boasting that their win was based on “will power.”

    9    , just two days ago, few people believed the Chinese team would be able to defeat the Brazilians, let alone make it to the finals. Even Lang admitted that the Brazilian team was a tough opponent in terms of both experience and skill. On the subject of that match, Lang said that she didn’t put too much     10     (press) on the Chinese team, “We didn’t think much about success, but just played the best game we could.

“When I was 10 he told me, ‘Make sure you ____ your backhand.’” Gretzky said. “So I always had a great ____ in and scored many goals with my backhand. A   ___ we had as players was that our backhand was ____ and solid (坚固的) and I think that’s the one thing I really ____ from him.”

“Howe said to me when I turned pro and signed with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association at 17, ‘You worked hard to get to the professional ___, but nowadays you’ve got to work much harder.
