21、How often do you exercise? A new study finds that most kids aged 12 to 15 aren't getting enough physical activity. The results are based on about 800 kids. As part of the study, the young teens tracked and reported on their own activity levels, and took physical exams.

The US fitness guidelines recommend an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1in 4 kids in the US get enough physical activity.

“It's certainly very worrying to see that our kids are engaging in such a limited amount of physical activity each day,” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on children's health.

Few kids in the survey met the guidelines for physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes them breathe harder. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of violent exercise every day. Kids also reported on which activities they did most often outside of the school gym class--basketball for boys and running for girls.

The study found that obese（肥胖的） teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the overall obesity rate for children aged 2 to 19 is 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.

“There's always room for improvement,” said health expert Tala Fakhouri, who was the lead author of the study. She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Lets Move, which was launched by Michelle Obama in 2010. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape, Michelle visited schools and held exercise events. She also called on schools to offer regular gym classes.

The study also suggests kids who get physical education at school may get better grades.

A．It is important to take physical exams

B．Most US kids don’t get enough exercise

C．Kids should get physical activity every day

D．800 kids don’t get enough physical activity.

22、I regularly train at a local boxing gym and I’m lucky enough to meet an amazing man, Adrian Charter. Adrian comes to the gym to train, just like me. The difference is, I’m 31 years old, and Adrian is 72!

I watched Adrian as he was training, early on a Sunday morning, and he was hitting the punching bag harder and quicker than most men in their twenties would. Adrian was a former boxer whose last professional fight was in 1972. Even though he has stopped competing as a boxer, his discipline(纪律) still makes him stick to a training rule.

It simply amazed me as to how a 72-year-old man could train so hard. Believe me, boxing is one of the most difficult sports on the earth, needing much patience,skill, and effort.

What surprised me even more was that a few days earlier he did some running. He ran 9 kilometers. He does this on a regular basis. For me, I can run 5 kilometers at most.

When I questioned him about how he kept such discipline, he calmly replied, “It is all in my mind.”

I thought about it for a moment. If discipline can push a 72-year-old man to train so hard and enjoy it, could I imagine how discipline could serve every single human being on the earth? Right at this point, as you read this story, please pause and ask yourself, “What is my level of discipline?”

Adrian’s example told me that the power of discipline will get us to the finishing line!The bigger the challenge is, the more our discipline can serve us and the sweeter the taste of success will be!

【1】The author noticed Adrian Charter mostly because Adrian Charter _______ .

【2】What does the author think of boxing?

【3】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means “______ ”.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

23、There are electric cars, boats, trains and small planes that are a sustainable way to travel. Larger airplanes have not been able to make the transition because the lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries are too heavy and not strong enough to provide the power for the airplanes to take off. Until now.

NASA is working on a new innovative solid-state battery, which can be used by the aviation (航空) industry, according to a news release from the space agency. The batteries, called Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety (SABERS) do not suffer from any of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and can outperform the batteries that are available now.

“SABERS continues to go beyond its goals,” Rocco Viggiano, an investigator for SABERS at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, said in the news release. “We’re starting to approach this new frontier of battery research that could do so much more than lithium-ion batteries can. The possibilities are pretty incredible.”

The solid-state batteries that NASA researchers are working on carry more energy, are considerably lighter, and much safer to use. That’s because solid-state batteries do not contain liquids which can lead to overheating, fires and charge loss. Liquid batteries require each cell to be inside its own steel casing. Solid-state batteries can be massively stored in a single casing and that reduces the weight. The battery can also run at much higher temperatures that require much less cooling. All of this makes NASA’s new battery very promising.

Now that NASA has demonstrated the new battery’s features, the agency is looking at all its potential uses. SABERS is cooperating with researchers from Georgia Tech, Argonne National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as well as other NASA centers.

“Georgia Tech has a big focus on micromechanics of how the cell changes during operation. That can help us look at the pressure inside the battery, which then helps us improve the battery even more,” Viggiano said in the news release. “It can also lead us to understand from a practical standpoint how to manufacture a cell like this.”

【1】What does the word “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Get out of.

B．Fit in with.

C．Do better than.

D．Keep track of.

【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Advantageous features of the new battery.

B．Current main tasks of NASA researchers.

C．Potential problems of traditional batteries.

D．Working principles of lithium-ion batteries.

【3】What can be inferred from Rocco Viggiano’s words in the last paragraph?

A．SABERS appears too optimistic about its future.

B．The stability of SABERS has been proved perfect.

C．It’s necessary for SABERS to pursue cooperation.

D．Putting SABERS into production seems impossible.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．NASA’s Electric Airplanes Are Ready to Take Off

B．Great Changes Are Taking Place in the Aviation Industry

C．A Promising Sustainable Future Has Already Taken Root

D．Solid-state Batteries May Help Larger Electric Airplanes Fly

24、Fifteen years ago, when darkness used to fall in Yobe Nkosi, a remote village in northern Malawi, children did their school homework by candlelight: There was no electricity. But that started to change in 2006, when villager Colrerd Nkosi finished secondary school in Mzimba, and returned home—and found he could no longer live without power.

Aged 23 at the time, Nkosi soon figured out that a stream gushing past the house where he grew up had just enough force to push the pedals on his bicycle. He created a makeshift generator (临时发电机) that brought power into his home. Word spread quickly among the cluster of brick houses and neighbours began paying regular visits to charge their mobile phones. “I started getting requests for electricity and decided to upgrade,” said Nkosi, now 38.

With no prior training, he turned an old fridge compressor into a water-powered turbine and put it in a nearby river, generating electricity for six households. Today, the village is supplied by a bigger turbine, built from the motor of a disused maize seller (玉米剥粒机). The power is carried along metal cables strung from a two-kilometre line of tree trunks topped with wooden planks.

The users pay no fee for the power but give Nkosi some money for maintenance—slightly more than $1 per household per month. “The electricity is basically free,” Nkosi said, speaking in local Chichewa. He admitted that the maintenance income was too small to cover repair costs, which he mainly funded from his own pocket.

Despite the challenges, he is determined to expand his mini-grid to surrounding areas. “Once more villages and schools have electricity, people will no longer cut down trees for charcoal,” he said. “Students will have a lot more time to study.”

As dusk settles over Kasangazi Primary School, chatty groups of learners file into a classroom for a night-time study session. “Before we had electricity here, we used to use candles to study,” said student Gift Mfune, “Now we all have no excuse but to pass our examinations,” he exclaimed.

【1】Why did the temporary generator need updating?

A．To make much more money.

B．To meet more people’s needs.

C．To attract more people’s visits.

D．To charge more mobile phones.

【2】What can we know about the students in Kasangazi Primary School?

A．They show no concern for their exams.

B．They take little interest in their studies.

C．They feel grateful to Nkosi for his help.

D．They’re sure to have a promising future.

【3】Which words can best describe Nkosi?

A．Determined and generous.

B．Easy-going and courageous.

C．Open-minded and tolerant.

D．Intelligent and cooperative.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Founding of a Power Station

B．The Contribution of a Young Man

C．The Situation of a Primary School

D．The Development of a Poor Village
