二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

21、Running and walking both offer their own unique benefits and risks. Here is something you need to know about the pros and cons (利弊) of each type of exercise - and which is best for your health goals.

●Running is better for weight loss than walking.

Both walking and running can help you lose weight. 【1】. A 2008 analysis found that people only lost small amounts of weight — about 0.1 pound per week — by walking. On the other hand, a large 2013 study found that people lost significantly more weight by running than walking.

●Walking is safer than running

【2】, it makes you face a greater risk of injury than walking. In fact, walking has less than a third of the injury risk of running. About 60% of runners will experience an injury that prevents them from doing the activity.

【3】 ?

Overall, both walking and running can help you achieve the recommended amount of exercise. There is no right choice for which is better for your health. Rather, deciding between walking and running depends on your unique goals and risk factors. For example, if you are older or have joint problems, walking may be the better option for you. However, if you’re pressed for time, running might be the more practical choice.

●Try the run-walk-run method.

The run-walk-run method involves alternating between running for a certain amount of time and walking for a set number of minutes. For example, you can run for two minutes and walk for one minute, or run for four minutes and walk for one minute. 【4】

After reading what is mentioned above, you may be able to choose the right type of exercise now. 【5】, what matters is that you make the time to exercise. It’s also important to always challenge yourself to be healthier.

A.Then repeat the cycle

B.Choose to walk or run

C.How to keep a balance between them

D.However, running may be the better choice

E.Whether you favour walking, running, or both

F.While both running and walking are beneficial for you

G.Because running means you’re going at a relatively faster pace

22、The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerator, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will

be sending over data by 2020.

Specific Benefits

The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.

 

Some Fears

Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that’s outdated.

 

A Positive Example

Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!

Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.

 

 

1How do researchers get everything and everyone talking?

A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.

B. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.

C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.

D. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.

2According to the article, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.

B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.

C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more smartly.

D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.

3What else do critics worry about the IoT besides its probably ending up being a fashion?

A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.

B. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.

C. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.

D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.

4According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric received a recall notice, they ______.

A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update

B. were required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairs

C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed

D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company

 

23、The pursuit of longevity has long been on people’s minds, prompting an abundance of research on the effects of food and diet on the human lifespan. According to recent research from the UC Irvine Institute, drinking coffee and wine could help you live longer.

The 90+ Study evaluated more than 1,600 people over the age of 90 for their lifestyle habits and other qualities that might have contributed to their longevity.

Participants were visited every six months, when they were given various tests. Researchers also collected information about the participants’ diets, lifestyles, and medical histories.

They found out that two of the habits that helped preserve lives the most are drinking alcohol and coffee. “I have no explanation for it,” admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate (适度的) drinking improves longevity.” So should we all be drinking more coffee and wine? While that would be great news, the research may not be as definitive as it seems.

“Most studies about alcohol consumption, including The 90+ Study, are observational, so we  can only say that something about drinking is associated with health and longevity,” registered dietitian Jennifer Markowitz told The Daily Meal.

“I’d be curious to see if the coffee and alcohol drinkers shared other important habits or lifestyle factors that might also play into their longevity.”

In other words, it might not be the wine and coffee that’s helping people live longer, but the two substances do have some considerable health benefits. “Wine and coffee are packed with antioxidants(抗氧化剂) which are known to protect our bodies from damage caused by free radicals,” explained registered dietitian Keri Gans to The Daily Meal. “Research on antioxidants has shown several heath benefits, including the possibility they may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, improve cognitive function, decrease the risk of dementia, and lower the risk of heart disease.”

Moderate drinking can be beneficial according to other studies—so long as it’s moderate.

1What’s the passage mainly about?

A.Antioxidants having a positive effect on the lifespan.

B.The effects of food and diet on the human lifespan.

C.Advocating drinking wine and coffee in our daily life.

D.Moderate drinking helping people live longer.

2The information was collected about the participants in the 90+ Study except ________.

A.food consumption

B.lifestyle

C.hobbies

D.medical history

3How can the wine and coffee benefit people’s health?

A.They provide people with essential nutrition.

B.They are rich in antioxidants.

C.They protect free radicals in human bodies.

D.They can bring relief to pain.

4What can we infer from the passage?

A.Not all the people participating in the study are over 90.

B.Most studies about alcohol consumption are based on observation.

C.Over-drinking can also be beneficial according to other studies.

D.Antioxidants can cure type 2 diabetes.

24、People who suffer from frequent nightmares or terrible dreams have a problem called nightmare disorder (梦魇症). It will cause one difficult to fall and stay asleep. There is no universally agreed reason why we dream, much less have nightmares.

But now, sleep scientists Thomas Kilkenny and his colleagues from Switzerland may have found a new way to make sure your rest stays peaceful and undisturbed. In their study, they found that combining a way called imagery rehearsal therapy (想象预演疗法) with targeted memory reactivation (目标记忆激活) helps to reduce those annoying nightmares.

Imagery rehearsal therapy is a commonly used tool for people with nightmares. A psychologist will ask the individual to describe a recurring nightmare and identify possible reasons. Afterward they work with the patient to “rewrite” a new ending to the dream with a more pleasant outcome. For example, if the nightmare involves someone chasing you down a dark alley, you can imagine turning to a passerby for help or imagine holding a weapon to protect you. The goal of rehearsing the ending is to change the nightmare to something less frightening and more peaceful.

The scientists included 60 people with nightmare disorder in an experiment to test their theory. They divided them into two groups, 30 in each. The first group were treated with imagery rehearsal therapy. And for the second group, they combined the imagery rehearsal therapy with targeted memory reactivation which uses different external stimuli as a cue to reactivate more pleasant memories from earlier in the day. “The study demonstrates again that imagery rehearsal therapy alone works to imnprove the nightmare disorder,” says Thomas Kilkenny, “However, people with the additional targeted memory reactivation during sleep had a better reduction in weekly nightmares and were more likely to create dreams from positive memories. ”

“We observed a fast decrease of nightmares, together with dreams becoming emotionally more positive,” said Lampro Pers, a psychiatrist at the Sleep Laboratory of the Geneva University. “The benefits of using targeted memory reactivation may go beyond nightmare disorder. The combined therapy could prove effective for patients with PTSD, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders,” he added.

【1】What is the purpose of the third paragraph?

A.To state the study background of IRT.

B.To show a unique goal of IRT.

C.To explain the research method of IRT.

D.To describe a common tool of IRT.

【2】How does Thomas Kilkenny illustrate his findings in Paragraph 4?

A.By making comparisons.

B.By listing data.

C.By analyzing reasons.

D.By giving definitions.

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Scientists have reached common perspectives on nightmares so far.

B.People with weekly nightmares will be positive by rewriting a new ending.

C.Scientists have found a combined way to reduce nightmares after experiment.

D.People with anxiety disorders will stay peaceful forever with the new therapy.

【4】What is Lampro Pers’ attitude to this new study?

A.Critical.

B.Objective.

C.Skeptical.

D.Appreciative.
