Question

【題目】 Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test. It checks kids’ fitness levels. Students are tested at least twice a year. In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.

There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰臥起坐), push-ups(俯臥撐), sit and reach, endurance run(耐力跑) or walk and shuttle run(折返跑). Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.

The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life. Students taking the test are really testing their limits, according to the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education.

China has a similar test: the physical education(PE) test. Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong. They also finish activities like the endurance run, sit-ups and the shuttle run.

However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests. The highest score is 100.For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school.In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.

【解析】

本篇文章主要是講美國的健康測試和中國的體測。美國的健康測試項(xiàng)目有：俯臥撐，仰臥起坐，坐位體前屈，耐力跑，折返跑。在所有項(xiàng)目中，獲得85分及以上的學(xué)生可以獲得總統(tǒng)的身體健康獎。而中國的體側(cè)項(xiàng)目有：耐力跑，仰臥起坐，折返跑。體側(cè)分?jǐn)?shù)對于中考和高考的學(xué)生來說是很重要的，它占據(jù)30到40分。

【1】根據(jù)“In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.”可知1956年，美國總統(tǒng)艾森豪威爾創(chuàng)立了這項(xiàng)考試，所以歷史悠久，再結(jié)合表格中“a long”可知此處缺名詞，所以是“history”，故答案為history。

【2】根據(jù)“Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test.”可知不是所有的學(xué)校都必須用這個，故答案為necessary。

【3】根據(jù)文中“Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong.”可知是中國的學(xué)生每年要接受兩次測試，以檢查他們是否健康和強(qiáng)壯，結(jié)合表格“All the students ___3___ those who are disabled must take the test.”可推測出此處是除殘疾人外，所有的學(xué)生都必須參加考試，所以此處是“除了”，故答案為except。

【4】根據(jù)“The highest score is 100…for senior high school”可知滿分是100分，體育考試是高中入學(xué)考試的30到40分，所以此處是滿分，故答案為full。

【5】根據(jù)表格中“Through the test, students are encouraged to live more healthily and actively.”，“The students are tested to see whether they are healthy and strong or not.”可知鼓勵學(xué)生過健康和積極的生活和檢查他們是否健康和強(qiáng)壯，可推測出此處是目的或者原因，此處需大寫，故答案為Purpose/ Reason。
