24、What time of day do you feel most alert (清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal (华尔街日报).

When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.

But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 p.m., people begin to get distracted (思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 p.m..

Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

【1】Many people perform best later in the morning because ________.

A．they can’t get up very early

B．they have to take a shower first

C．the body’s temperature needs time to rise

D．that’s when the brain wakes up

【2】Evening people had better ________.

A．rise late and work in the morning

B．wake later and work in the evening

C．rise early and work in the morning.

D．wake later and work after midnight

【3】According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?

A．It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon.

B．We perform better after eating a big meal.

C．Sleeping at 2 p.m. is not good for our health.

D．Our body burns calories better at night.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Research about time

B．The best time to do things

C．Different periods of a day

D．Brain activities at different places

27、   How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? I believe the answer must be “YES”. We should walk into nature so that we can enjoy the natural beauties around.

Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.

As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a math test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group.

The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can trigger positive feelings and a sense of peace. Being in nature can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.

Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature.

Nature holds a special kind of energy: it is pure and wild and spirit-renewing. In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.

【3】What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?

A．Nature is more important than cities.

B．Country life is healthier than city life.

C．People have lived in the cities for so long.

D．Nature should be part of people’s daily life.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．31,000 healthier people live near parks in Toronto.

B．A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built in Dubai.

C．10% of teenagers spend time in national parks every day in the USA.

D．About 13 million schoolchildren visit new forests every year in South Korea.

28、A poor boy lived in a small town. He sold goods(商品) from door to door to pay for school. One day, he had only one cent left, and he was hungry. He decided that he 1.【1】 (will) ask for a meal at the next house. 2.【2】， when a young woman opened the door, the boy was shy, so he just asked for some water. The woman knew he was hungry, 3.【3】 she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it 4.【4】 (slow), and then asked, “5.【5】 should I pay for it？” “You won't pay for it. My mother has told me that it is good 6.【6】 (help) the people who are in trouble.” She replied. The boy said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” As the boy left that house, he felt much 7.【7】 (strong). He knew he had many things to do.

Many years later, 8.【8】 young woman became ill. The local doctors couldn't save her. People had to send her to a big city. When the doctor knew who the woman was, he was so excited 9.【9】 he tried his best to save her life. He 10.【10】 (succeed). The woman needed to pay for the medical bill.

29、“The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by a people to the whole world,” said Xu Yuanchong, the most well-known translating _________ in China. Xu devoted himself translation for more than 60 years. And he _________ over 100 translated books in Chinese, English and French. Those attracted (吸引) millions of _________ around the world.

He was a hard-working person. Every day, he would _________ about 1,000 words into another language. He usually worked until 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. and then got up at 6 a.m. to continue_________. He often said “The best way to lengthen our days is to steal a few hours from the early _________.”

Xu thought a translated work should be just as _________ as the original (原始的) one. So he used his creativity to make it possible. Instead of _________ translating words from one language to another, he changed the words into more readable ones.

In 2014, Xu won the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature, one of the world’s _________ prizes for a translator. He is the only Asian winner in the recent 20 years. It’s a pity that he __________ at the age of 100 on June 17, 2021. But before Xu died, he still kept reading to make his works more perfect. That shows us it is never too old to learn.
