It could truly be our family's last supper. Making the holiday meal was my brother's job，not mine.I could never fill his shoes.Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack，but he'd been a natural in the kitchen all his life.He planned every course in detail，from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie. My family was lost without him.We went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered in pizza for Christmas.By the time Easter rolled around，though，I couldn't bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout(外卖食品) boxes.Peter would have hated that.To him，there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together.Only，we were terrible cooks. What had I been thinking cooking for Easter dinner? I'd bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter. I stepped into the family room.Mom was still at church，but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table，to the sports section，as usual.She was a huge Notre Dame women's basketball fan，and the featured story was about forward Devereaux Peters，who was graduating.I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags， Filling Peters' Shoes. That afternoon，cooking in the kitchen，I didn't feel so alone.Mom and I pulled together the Easter feast just fine.The ham may have been a little dry，but it was all made with love—just like Peter would have wanted. 本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了作者接替哥哥为家人做节日盛宴的经过。虽然作者没有 哥哥做得好，但她也是和妈妈一起用爱心为家人做饭。 1．What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come?

A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay：Regular cardio workouts(有氧锻 炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛)，a growing body of research suggests. Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months，according to a Swedish study. The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migrainepreventing drugstopamirate but without the side effects of depression and tremors(刺激)． “Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches，too，”says Alexander Mauskop， M.D.，director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan. There are a couple of theories on how it works. “Breaking a sweat may relieve stress，” says Dr.Mauskop.“Headaches are often triggered by stress，and if you remove the trigger，you release the pain.” The feelgood chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors，acting as a natural painkiller. “Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics(遗传)， lack of sleep，or certain foods，cardio won't be the solution for everyone，” 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 Dr.Mauskop says.But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients， which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market. Dr.Mauskop recommends his patients do a halfhour reasonable intensity(强 度)cardio，like jogging，biking，or swimming three times a week.These workouts are meant to be slow and steady，as opposed to highintensity intervals that alternate between allout runs and rest. Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people，so make sure your heart rate doesn't jump above 150 BPM.If you don't have a heart rate monitor，then breathe only through your nose.You'll know you're going too hard if you can't keep up that breathing pattern. “Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks，” Dr.Mauskop says. 本文是一篇说明文。据专家研究发现，头疼不用吃药，通过锻炼产生的化学物质可以缓 解甚至治愈经常性头痛。 7．According to the passage，the author may agree that ． A．jogging，swimming and fishing are cardio workouts B．neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effects C．migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workouts D．cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines C [细节理解题。该题问的是作者可能同意哪个观点。根据第二段中的“Regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛)，a growing body of research suggests.”可知，通过定期的有氧锻炼，偏头痛可能会得到治愈。故 C 项符合题意。] 8 ． The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “ ”． A．cured B．released C．caused D．monitored C [词义猜测题。根据第七段中 Mauskop 教授所说的出汗可以释放压力，以及如果去除 这种诱因，就能缓解疼痛可推知，triggered 意为“引起”，与 C 项“caused”意思相近。 故 C 项符合题意。] 9 ． The feelgood chemicals produced can help with regular headaches because ． A．they ease the stress B．they break a sweat C．they prevent migraines 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 D．they block your pain sensors D [细节理解题。该题问的是这种使人愉悦的化学物质能够帮助治疗经常性头痛的原 因。根据第八段可知，这种化学物质可以消除疼痛感。故 D 项符合题意。] 10．What would be the best title? A．A cure for headaches B．Side effects of migraines C．The causes of headache D．Advantages of cardio workouts A [标题概括题。通读全文可知，定期的有氧锻炼有可能治愈偏头痛和经常性头痛。故 A 项“一种治疗头疼的方法”适合做标题。] 【导学号：85602075】
