21、   You Ask: Is Yoga Good Exercise? By almost any measure, the answer is yes, but don't let it be all you do. Research shows regular yoga practice lowers your risk for heart disease and tension. Yoga may also lessen symptoms of depression, headaches, diabetes, some forms of cancer and pain-related diseases.

Yoga also seems to prevent weight gain. One 4-year study from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found middle-aged adults who practiced yoga at least once a week gained 3 fewer pounds than those who stuck with other forms of exercise. The same study found overweight adults who practice yoga lost 5 pounds, while a non-yoga group gained 13 pounds.

How can a little bending and stretching do all that? Unlike exercises like running or lifting weights, “yoga puts you in a parasympathetic(副交感神经系统的) state, so your heart rate goes down and blood pressure goes down,” says Dr. Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

Yoga is tied to a healthier heart, as well as its ability to reduce your stress, improve your mood, and help you sleep more soundly. When you consider the extra health benefits linked to each of those brain and body benefits-lower pain, lower body weight, lower disease risk-you could make an argument that few activities are as good for you as yoga.

One thing yoga doesn’t do, though, is burn loads of calories. Even hot forms of yoga like Bikram result in the spending of modest energy—roughly the number of calories you’d burn during a brisk walk. While more and more research suggests calories shouldn’t be your only focus when it comes to diet and exercise, there’s no question that running, swimming, lifting weights and other more vigorous forms of exercise are great for your brain and body.

"Yoga is unquestionably good for you," Field says, "but it should be done along with traditional forms of physical activity-not in place of them."

【1】For those who practise it, what can yoga not do?

A.Consume a lot of calories B.Reduce stress

C.Lessen symptoms of depression D.Help sleep better

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 5?

A.People tend to pay too much attention to calories when exercising or on a diet.

B.People shouldn’t go on a diet if they do regular yoga practice.

C.Vigorous exercises are good for people’s brain and body.

D.Yoga is a better form of exercise than those vigorous ones.

【3】What will Field probably advise people to do?

A.Practise yoga daily to stay healthy.

B.Give up other forms of exercise and practise yoga alone.

C.Do other forms of exercise in addition to practising yoga.

D.Consult an expert before practising yoga.

【4】What is Field’s attitude towards yoga?

A.Recommending B.Doubtful C.Indifferent D.Objective

22、Kids have a lot on their minds. Dealing with school, family, activities, and all of the other big parts of life is hard enough. The recent rise in Omicron cases in the US is causing more stress on them. It can be difficult to think of how to cheer themselves up. 【1】.

Connect with people you love. Reaching out to friends and family can make a huge difference. 【2】. Just talking or spending time with them can improve your mood (情绪)and help you feel connected.

Talk to a trusted adult. If you’re feeling down. Dr. Murthy suggests confiding (倾诉)in a trusted adult. 【3】. “A lot of schools have counselors or school nurses you can talk with as well.” he adds.

【4】. Eat well and get good sleep. Fresh air and exercise help, too. “I find that when I’m physically active, it actually lifts my mood,” Dr. Murthy says. It also has the benefit of freeing yourself from some challenges you have.

Help others. 【5】. When you help other people, not only do you strengthen (巩固)your connections, you also remind yourself that you have a lot of beauty, value and strength to add to the world.

A．Take care of your body

B．Regular exercise helps body building

C．It is a good chance to speak out how you feel

D．This might be a family member, a teacher or a doctor

E．You don’t have to discuss anything sad with your loved ones

F．Service is one of the best ways to get out of sadness and loneliness

G．Vivek Murthy, the country’s top doctor, offers some advice for this purpose

23、   Joseph Banks was born in 1743, the only son of a wealthy land-owning family. From an early age, his declared passage was natural history, and in particular, botany. Shortly after inheriting his family's fortune in the early 1760's, he chose to pursue this passion to the full. In 1766 he travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador to collect plants, animals and rocks and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in the same year.

When the Royal Society was successful in setting about Captain Cook's 1768 expedition to Tahiti for astronomical observations, Banks obtained permission from the Admiralty to join the expedition. For him, this was like a present-day scientist being given the chance of trip to another planet, a chance to study new plants in unknown lands.

They made collections and observations in South America, Tahiti and New Zealand before reaching Australia. His major landfalls on the eastern coast of Australia were at Botany Bay(28 Apri1—5 May 1770)and at the Endeavour River(17 June—3 August). The plant material collected and sorted on the voyage was wide-ranging.

After his successful return from this voyage, Banks travelled to Scotland, Wales, Holland and Iceland, collecting more and more "curiosities". Besides, he controlled the Royal Botanic Gardens, and Kew was a Trustee of the British Museum. In 1778 he also became President of the Royal Society, an office which he held until his death in 1820.

Although Linneaus' suggestion of naming the new country "Banksia" was not adopted, a genus of Australian plants were named after Banks' names and he made his mark upon Australian history in other ways. When the British government was looking for a suitable place to establish a penal colony(流放地), Banks was an advocate for Botany Bay. After the settlement was established at Sydney Cove, he encouraged further investigation of the natural history of the area and became the natural history in both Britain and Australia cannot be overestimated.

【1】We can infer that Joseph Banks was ______ when he was allowed to join the expedition led by Captain Cook.

A．tired

B．sacred

C．excited

D．nervous

【2】How many years did Joseph Banks hold the position of president of the Royal Society?

C．35.

D．77.

【3】The underlined word “Banksia" refers to________.

24、   Girls continue to outperform boys in all subjects by the end of primary school in England, according to the latest key stage 2 test results published by the Department for Education.

Across England, 65% of pupils in state schools achieved the government’s expected standards in the three subjects, a 1% improvement on 2018. The widening of the gender gap was caused mainly by a dip in the proportion of boys reaching the expected standard in reading, which fell from 72% in 2018 to 69%. In maths, boys and girls improved by 3% but girls remained slightly ahead at 79% to 78%.

The latest Sats results are the continuation of trends seen for many years. In Britain, girls consistently outperform boys, with the exception of advanced maths-based subjects. In the most recent GCSE results girls showed improved performances, despite the introduction of more difficult exams.

There were substantial regional variations in the results, with pupils in London generally doing better than in other parts of England. Only 53% of boys in Dudley, in the Midlands, reached the expected standards in the three key subjects, compared with 83% of girls in the wealthy borough of Richmond-upon-Thames.

Also, the gap in performance between disadvantaged pupils and their classmates remains stubbornly wide, suggesting efforts to close it have slowed or been ineffective.

About 51% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds achieved the expected standards in maths, reading and writing, the same as in 2018, while the proportion of non-disadvantaged pupils hitting the standard rose to 71%. That leaves the gap between the two groups little changed for the last three years, with the DfE’s statisticians warning that it might widen slightly when the final figures for 2019 are published.

Paul Whiteman, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said children from disadvantaged families were the victims of austerity (经济紧缩). “Successive governments have failed to invest in those who need it the most, and now we see the result - a sustained long-term gap over many years between disadvantaged pupils and pupils from more affluent families.” In 2019 30%   of pupils at the end of key stage 2 were classed as being disadvantaged. Nick Gibb, the minister for school standards, said the gap had noticeably decreased over the last eight years and that government reforms since 2010 have   helped “ level the playing field”.

【1】What percentage of boys achieved the government’s standard in Math in 2018?

A.64%. B.72%. C.75%. D.78%.

【2】What do we know about the gap in performance between disadvantaged pupils and their classmates?

A.Efforts to narrow it have paid off.

B.It is identified as a recent trend.

C.It has widened a lot in the past three years.

D.Tightened economy is held partly responsible for it.

【3】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Education. B.Politics.

C.Culture. D.Finance.

【4】What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A.Girls’ improved performance in all subjects.

B.Gaps in academic performance found in England.

C.Tests conducted by the Department for Education.

D.Continuing efforts to improve the UK，s education quality.
