【题目】New Reasons to Exercise

It’s a cruel reality that exercising is not a reliable way to lose weight and keep it off. 1 Here are the benefits of regular exercise.

2

A new study had found that just a short period of exercise can help improve the ability to remember things in the hours that follow. The report says, “Exercising four hours after learning a task can help people remember that task in the long term”

It may keep off depression.

3 Researchers found that women who exercised regularly reported about 50% fewer depressive signs than women who didn’t exercise as much. And the more the women reported exercising, the less likely they were to have signs of depression.

It can control appetite.(食欲)

Exercise may be the key to controlling your appetite. A study found that people who exercised for 15 minutes after doing mental work ate 100 fewer calories than people who did mental work and then remained seated. Exercise has the ability to increase available fuel sources in the body that may signal to the brain. “4I don’t need to fill myself with food,” says study author William H. Neumeirer.

It increases energy.

In a recent report, men who cycled for 20 minutes experienced a 166% increase in self-reported energy levels, compared with a 15% increase when they sat and did nothing for the same amount of time.5

A.It improves memory.

B.It has mind-body benefits.

C.Here is the energy source I need.

D.We do the work at the office each day.

E.Working out regularly might prevent depression.

F.But that doesn’t mean you should give up the effort.

G.If you need a reason to work out, energy increase is a worthwhile one.

【题目】Think about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!

Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re something scientists have been working on for decades.

Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight.

Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable — more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit (……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.

The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.

So, when will you be taking your first spaceelevator ride? Probably not for a while.

1The first paragraph is presented by________.

A. giving an example

B. making a comparison

C. asking questions

D. analyzing causes

2Why have scientists been working on space elevators?

A. To make trips to space cheaper.

B. To help astronauts do research in space.

C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.

D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.

3The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A. the cable

B. the equator

C. an object in space

D. a weight on the end of the cable

4Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?

A. Science and technology. B. Sports.

C. Literature. D. Entertainment.

【题目】 Three brown bears in the distance catches Charlie Russell’s eye. When they get a metre or so away from him, the huge animals slow down. The leading bear holds her face very close to Rusell’s. She touches his nose with her own and Russell breaks into a smile. “Hey, little bear,” he says.

Rusell, now 70, has spent more than ten springs and summers living with brown bears in the eastern-most part of Russia.“No question, bears are dangerous,” says Russell, but he also argues that fearing them prevents us from recognizing their intelligent, playful and peaceful nature. “They attack us because we abuse them.” he insists.

“What I want to do now is work on the human side of the problem,” Russell says. In Canada —a country where cities spread deep into the rural landscape and hunters kill about 450 bears annually, he is determined to change the way we treat our neighbors.

Russell was raised with the idea that “the only good bear is a dead bear.” His father, a hunter, shared stories of cruel brown bears with his five children. However, when the family’s hunting business declined in the early 1960s, Russell joined his father on an expedition to film brown bears in Alaska. Russell couldn’t help but wonder why bears behaved aggressively towards people carrying guns, but left the film-makers alone. “I suspected they didn’t like cruelty,” he says.

In 1994 he tested out his theory in British Columbia’s Khutzeymateen Inlet, where he took tourists on bear-viewing tours. One afternoon, while resting on a log between guiding trips, Russell sat still as a female brown bear casually approached. “I knew if I did not move, she would keep coming,” he later said. “I had decided to let her come as close as she wanted.” Russell spoke to the bear in gentle tones and she sat down beside him. She put her paw on his hand and Russell responded to the gesture, touching her nose, lip and teeth. These were the iron jaws featured in his father’s campfire stories, now no more threatening than the nose of a little dog. If he could repeat similar moments, Russell believed he could prove that “just by treating bears kindly, people can live safely with them”.

1According to Russell, bears attack humans because they ________.

A.mistreat themB.are afraid of them

C.mistake their playful tricksD.have no idea of their real nature

2The underlined part in Para. 4 suggests ________.

A.a good bear never diesB.a live bear is dangerous

C.the only good bear is deadD.a bear is aggressive to gun holders

3The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.

A.show us how brave he isB.warn us not to approach bears

C.encourage us to play with bearsD.tell us to live in peace with bears

【题目】Mother’s Day is a time of memory and celebration for Mom. The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations date back to ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of Gods. During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called “mothering Sunday”. Celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent(四旬斋),“mothering Sunday” honoured the mothers England.

During the time many of the England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy.AS most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along.

As Christianity(基督教) spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honour the “Mother Church”---the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival combined with mothering Sunday celebration. People began honouring their mothers as well as the church.

In the United States Mother’s Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day devoted to peace. Then in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign(运动) to establish a national Mother’s Day. Ms Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, the 2nd day Sunday of May. By the next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessmen, and politicians demanding to establish a national Mother’s Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement that Mother’s Day was a national holiday and it was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the 2nd Sunday of May.

【题目】The play The Doctors Dilemma by George Bernard opens on the day when Ridgeon, a famous research doctor,is knighted (封爵).His friends gather to congratulate him.The friends include Sir Patrick, a wellknown old physician, Walpole, an aggressive surgeon, Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington, an attractive society doctor, and Blenkinsop, an honest government doctor.Each one has his favorite theory of illness and method of cure._One_man’s_cure_is_another_man’s_poison,but they all get along.

A young woman (Mrs Dubechat) desperately seeks help for her husband from Ridgeon, who has evidently found a way to cure her husband’s illness.Ridgeon initially refuses, but then he changes his mind for two reasons — Mr Dubechat is a fine artist and Ridgeon falls in love with his wife.

When the doctors meet Mr Dubechat, however, they find that he is a dishonest person.Ridgeon eventually decides to treat Blenkinsop,who has the same disease, and refers the artist to Bloomfield Bonington.As a result, he will die.In the end, Ridgeon justifies his behavior as a plan to let Mr Dubechat die before his wife finds out how dishonest he actually was.This, in fact, happens and Mr Dubechat’s artistic reputation grows.

【题目】Directions : After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Before age 3, most children lack the necessary skills to lie. Somewhere between the ages of 3 and 8 though, a lot of children become shockingly skillful at telling lies. A group of 3-year-olds 1(seat) in a room and told not to peek at a toy placed out of sight while the adult left the room. When they were later asked if they had peeked, only about half of the kids attempted to lie. This was repeated with 7-year-olds, and the majority of the kids avoided telling the truth.

At first, it is because they can 2 children lie. They reach a point developmentally 3 they realize that they can say something that is not true. These lies are not a sign of moral failures in 4 the parents or the child.

By age 7 or 8, most children lie for two reasons. One is to escape punishment and to remain in your good graces. Children figure out that 5 they say they did not do something, they may be able to avoid punishment. Older children are also better than the younger ones at reading human emotion and predicting your reaction. Since most of the children want to make their parents happy, their lies may be a 6(misguide) attempt to provide the right answer. The kid who tells you that he did not break the vase, even in the presence of a broken vase, is just telling you what you want to hear. He knows you would be upset about the vase, so he makes up a lie to make you happy.

Ironically, kids of strict parents are actually more likely to lie than 7 from a more laid-back home. A child who knows that he gets spanked for doing wrong may feel motivated to lie more often and he may become more skilled at it, because he knows 8(catch) will lead to punishment.

When it comes to telling the truth, when a child matures and ages you will see the lies become 9(frequent). This is a result of more mature kids learning responsibility and being accountable 10 their actions. If your youngster is telling lies, don’t panic. He will most likely grow out of this stage with the help of his parents setting the right moral values. The experiment in this article was performed by parents and children.
