《2025年一本英语五合一必刷题高中人教版》

My friend and I made our way to the beach on the Connecticut shore soon after waking to our 7 am alarms this morning. After completing a quick strength workout on board, we walked toward the ocean for our early morning plunge(快速游泳) in the 18 ℃ July water (warm by some standards, chilly by mine), silently sharing a nervous look in anticipation of how cold the water would feel. We hoped that, after the immediate discomfort, it would be a bit refreshing. Neither of us was backing down.
The icy plunge has become somewhat of a cultural trend. People report feeling more energized and calmer after their plunge, and have involved it into their morning routine in the form of at - home ice baths or cold showers.
Ice baths have long been a main recovery mechanism for athletes: The icy cold water numbs pain and can soothe muscle and joint tightness. And emerging research suggests that the cold plunge can also prevent symptoms of depression because of the release of dopamine(多巴胺), known as the brain’s feel - good hormone. Cold water immersion(浸没) may be associated with a host of benefits, according to the National Institutes of Health, which advocates controlled studies on how cold water cure impacts the heart, the immune system, and mental health.
So even if the long - term benefits, the temperature required to make a difference, or the best duration are up in the air, it doesn't hurt to give it a try and come away with your conclusion. Experts recommend starting with a cold shower for a couple of minutes, and then seeing how you feel.
However, the cold plunge for those with certain underlying conditions like heart disease may pose a risk because of heart rate rise and heavy breathing. As the American Heart Association warns, “You’re not a polar bear.” Therefore, check with your doctor about the potential side effects given your medical history before diving in.

答案： 4.A 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，早上7点，作者和朋友被闹钟叫醒后不久就去了康涅狄格州的海滩。在船上完成了快速的力量锻炼后，他们走向海边，准备跳入18摄氏度的海水中游泳，对作者来说，这种温度的水是寒冷的，虽然他们预料到了水会有多冷，但他们没有退缩。故A项符合题意。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Ice baths have long been a main recovery mechanism for athletes：The icy cold water numbs pain”可知，长期以来，冰浴一直是运动员的主要的恢复方法，冰冷的水可以麻痹疼痛，由此可推知，此处也应是在介绍冰冷的水对肌肉和关节紧张的积极作用，再结合常识和选项可知，冰冷的水应能缓解运动后肌肉和关节的紧张，因此画线词与relieve“缓和；减轻”意思相近。
6.B 推理判断题。通读第四段可知，作者认为，即使冷水浸泡的长期好处、产生作用所需的温度或最佳的持续时间还不确定，试一试，自己看看效果也无妨，本段最后一句作者还提到了专家的建议：先洗几分钟冷水澡，然后看看你的感觉如何。由此可推知，作者应是鼓励人们尝试在冷水中浸泡一下。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可知，对于那些有心脏病等潜在疾病的人来说，冷水游泳可能会造成心率上升和呼吸急促的风险，正如美国心脏协会警告的那样，“你不是北极熊”。因此，美国心脏协会提到北极熊是想提醒人们注意冷水游泳带来的风险，由此可推知，美国心脏协会是想说明不是每个人都适合冷水游泳。
