AExercise is an important part of keeping a healthy lifestyle. Fitness tools and tips can help individuals develop an exercise plan that is not only safe but helps them to work toward a certain goal such as weight loss or running a marathon.Consult Your DoctorBefore beginning the weight loss or exercise program, it is best to consult your doctor to make sure that you are in proper health and that there are no possible conditions that could get worse by exercise. Ask your doctor to recommend exercises based on your fitness level that will help you achieve your goals.Set Goals and LimitsWhen beginning a fitness program, it is important to start off slow and work toward a more advanced goal. Begin with short 10-to 20-minute exercise each day to prepare your body for more active exercises and to prevent injury.Drink Plenty of WaterDuring exercise, the body loses liquid from sweating, therefore, it is important to drink lots of water before, during and after exercising. Experts recommend drinking water or sports drinks every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise and more often during more active exercises. Continue to drink water several hours after exercising to refill liquids in the body.Exercise EquipmentExercise equipment such as treadmills(跑步机), exercise bikes and weights is a great way to stay fit when on a busy schedule or on rainy days. Before using exercise equipment at home or in the gym, educate yourself on the proper use of each piece to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment.Tracking ToolsUse of tools such as pedometers(计步器) or heart rate monitors can help record calories, steps and heart rate. These tools can help keep dieters and athletes active and eager to reach their health and fitness goals.21. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce some ways of exercising.B. To introduce us some exercise tips and tools.C. To persuade us to take exercise to keep fit.D. To give us advice on losing weight by exercise.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You can lose weight or take exercise in poor health.B. Treadmills are only used in the gym when it rains.C. Starting with long and violent exercise may cause injury.D. You need to drink lots of water until you finish exercising.23. How often should we drink water during extreme active and violent exercises?A. Every 10 minutes.B. Every 15 minutes.C. Every 20 minutes.D. Every 30 minutes.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside ofit I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home,” but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was beating wildly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”. It is true. In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. Because he could have fun in nature.B. Because he could watch TV all day.C. Because he had many friends.D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.25. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B. He felt contradictory in mind.C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D. He was unconscious.26.What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Courage.B. Hope.C. Fear.D. Doubt.27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. It’s our attitude that matters in our life.B. Always make choices on our own.C. Every effort is worthwhile.D. All roads lead home.C“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown (严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly — the very mode(模式) of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK.The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councilors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more, often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top”. The nearest drop-off point for her six-year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem.Councilor Jason Frost said, “Traffic has been clearly reduced, and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to s chool. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.28.Why is Angie opposed to the new rule?A. She is often fined by London police.B. She will lose her job as a school driver.C. She has adapted to the American practice.D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid.29. What has led to the new rule being made,accoring to Jason Frost?A. residents’ complaints.B. students’ health problem.C. safety concern.D. air pollution.30. What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?A. Less daily chaos.B. Support from all people.C. More overweight children.D. Complaints from neighbors.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Parents attempt to resist a school rule.B. London police cause widespread anger.C. A merican schools care more about kids’ safety.D. Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.DSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare. The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment. One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft, deep straw. After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this, we trained each pig. In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans, which pigs find bitter-tas ting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets. On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect tofind the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react. Some happily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside, showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets. Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist. Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people, there is still cause for concern. Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32. What was the study trying to figure out?A. How to make pigs happier.B. The similarities between humans and pigs.C. How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D. How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33. What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Simple.B. More comfortable.C. Unpractical.D. Less free.34.Which bowl could test whether a pig was optimistic or pessimistic?A. The bowl with chocolate sweets.B. The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.C. The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D. The bowl containing coffee beans.35. What do the findings of the new research imply?A. People should treat pigs equally.B. People’s health relies on meat quality.C. People should meet pigs’ various needs.D. People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
