21、A lifetime of active exercise will let you keep the body of a 20-year-old well into your 70s, scientists have found.

The physical decline (衰退) thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of not exercising enough, according to the research, which found that regular cyclists kept the muscles, lungs, and even the immune system (免疫系统) of people years younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active, researchers insist.

Janet Lord, a leading researcher, said, “Our findings prove the false belief that ageing automatically(自动地) makes us weaker. We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do regular exercise throughout their lives can solve the problem that we are living longer but not healthier.”

She looked at 125 cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25 years and compared them with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a series of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger in their immune systems and making T cells.

Now Professor Lord aims to discover how much exercise people need to do to stay young. “You needn’t work out a lot. It may be intensity (强度) that helps—like going up and down the stairs ten times a day.”

While there is no magic method of staying mentally and physically fit in later life, the benefits of keeping active can never be ignored, whatever your age or state of health.

【1】According to the research, what is the reason for physical decline?

A．The failure of lungs.

B．The lack of regular exercise.

C．The poor state of health.

D．The increase of physical activity.

【2】Which of the following statements would Professor Lord probably agree with?

A．The intensity of exercise matters in slowing down ageing.

B．People need a large amount of exercise to stay young.

C．Ageing automatically makes people increasingly weaker.

D．What people need to stay fit in later life is a magic method.

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To discuss the benefits of regular cycling.

B．To explain the effects of the immune system.

C．To introduce the ways to stay healthy.

D．To stress the importance of being physically active.

22、Thinking about the future isn’t special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars. We make to-do lists, a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy. We look up the weekend’s weather. We make predictions about the results of sporting events. We practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us. We daydream about events we’re eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.

Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or maybe even the next few years of our lives. Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years from now. This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.

Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031. Why indeed think about such distant futures? Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world, and our lives, decades in advance? And if so, what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?

These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists. I was personally inspired by the discussions, and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life. They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place. Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught. Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.

【1】The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to __________.

A. draw readers' attention   B. explain the topic

C. entertain readers   D. tell readers the main idea of the passage

【2】The underlined word, "domain", in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.

A. understanding   B. choice

C. field   D. rule

【3】Which of the following things might a futurist think about?

A. The result of sporting event being held.

B. The weather of the coming weekend.

C. A new technology widely used in daily life.

D. A life-threatening disease that doesn't exist yet.

【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.

B. Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.

C. It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.

D. The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.

23、   November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison's eagerly anticipated (期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men.：Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel Prize winner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.

Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy (遗产)of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, love is the third volume of a literary masters trilogy (三部曲) investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved (1988) , which deals with a black mother's love under slavery and in freedom ; Jan (1993) ,the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.

The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey's Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as " the best and best -known vacation spot for colored folk on the East Coast. We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employers, and a homeless young girl.

The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as "Morrison's most accessible work since Song of Solomon1. This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.

【1】What can we learn about John Steinbeck?

A.He was a black writer.

B.He was born in America.

C.He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison.

D.He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel.

【2】The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both   .

A.belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved

B.concern families of more than one generation

C.deal with life of blacks under slavery

D.investigate life in 1920s Harlem

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

A.Toni Morrison's latest novels. B.Toni Morrison and her trilogy.

C.Toni Morrison and her novel Love. D.Toni Morrison, the Nobel Prize winner.

24、Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.

Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.

Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.

When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.

【1】The biggest barrier (障碍) people often meet with in a new country is____

A．the language

B．the transportation

C．the environment

D．the puzzlement

【2】What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?

B．a fish can not survive without water

C．people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.

D．people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He’d hiked the park near his home many times. But after walking along a new path last April, the 45-year-old man was lost.

As the day was near dusk, his concern turned to fear after several hours of aimless wandering (游荡). The area was a wildfield. With no flashlight, only some water and a bar of chocolate in his backpack, and less than ten percent battery remaining on his cell phone, Compean was unprepared for anything except the two-hour hike he’d planned.

Compean climbed to a place, about 7,000 feet above sea level, where he found at least one bar of signal (信号). “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, adding a photo showing where he was. The photo showed his dirty legs hanging over large rocks and plants.

All Compean could do then was wait and hope. The temperature was dropping fast and the winds were blowing. Dressed only in a T-shirt, shorts, and a jacket, the hiker felt extremely cold. He hugged himself into a tight ball, using his backpack to shelter his legs from the cold winds. But he wouldn’t sleep. After finding two mountain lions and a bear, he spent the night suffering from stress, keeping a big stick and some sharp rocks beside him to stop an animal to come close.

Sixty miles away in Ventura County, Ben Kuo, was a lover of satellite maps (卫星地图) which could help exactly locate things or persons in some areas. He was working at home when he read a twitter online from the Sheriff’s Department (警察局), showing a photo of a man’s legs. The Sheriff’s search-and-rescue teams had spent a night looking for Compean. Unsuccessfully, they post the photo to the public, hoping someone might know the location.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Ben’s unusual hobby helped find where Compean was.
