21、I’ll never forget driving away from my village in war-torn Vietnam. I was five and my mum, Can, told me and my brother Tam we were going on holiday, but as she hugged us goodbye, she began to sob so much her whole body was shaking. I gripped my little brother’s hand as I watched the tiny village grow smaller in the rear view window. Like many Vietnamese children, we were adopted by an Australian family.

It was a scary, lonely and confusing time, and I missed my birth family horribly. “When am I going home?” I’d ask again and again in Vietnamese, but no one would answer me because they didn’t understand. I’d ask about my birth mother so often that my new parents told me she had died. I cried myself to sleep every night until I was eight or nine. My adoptive family were dysfunctional and home life was tough.

At 15, my adoptive mother died. After that, I was going through my adoptive father’s filing cabinet (橱柜) and I found an old letter, with a Vietnamese postmark. I felt delighted as I realized it was from my birth mum. Straight away, I wrote a long letter to the address she had given, explaining who I was and asking if Can was alive.

Soon after, I got a simple fax back, saying, “Mother still alive, very happy to hear from you.” My heart soared as I read her words. For the next few years, I exchanged letters with her and was thrilled to finally have contact with her. I was so grateful for that.

【1】Why did the author’s mum begin to sob in Paragraph 1?

A．Because she felt excited when hugging her children.

B．Because her children were going on holiday.

C．Because her children were leaving her.

D．Because her whole body was shaking.

【2】How was the author’s adoptive life?

A．Hard.

B．Happy.

C．Easy.

D．Free.

【3】What was the possible reason for Can’s failing to contact the author?

A．Can didn’t like the author.

B．Can didn’t know where the author was.

C．Can was dead.

D．Can was not allowed to contact the author.

【4】How did the author feel when she read her mum’s words?

A．Upset.

B．Excited.

C．Lonely.

D．Moved.

22、Exercise for a Better Brain

Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscles—directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box. 【1】 When you’re active, they send chemical signals telling your brain, “Hey, it’s time to grow!” Recent research suggests physical activity has multiple brain benefits, encouraging the birth and growth of new brain cells that supply oxygen and blood sugar to brain cells.

In a 2016 National Institute on Aging study, people who ran on a treadmill for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of brain—derived neurotrophic(神经营养的)factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells. 【2】

Without exercise, Suzuki says, “little baby neurons don’t get bigger and make thousands of new connections to other brain cells. With exercise, you get fully functioning adult brain cells.” Studies suggest that in younger adults, this can add to the overall number of cells in the hippocampus(海马体). 【3】 It’s a good deal. “There’s evidence these new brain cells are very active,” she says. “They’re excitable, like teenagers. They get involved in more memory circuits than older cells do. You get more connections.”

【4】 If you’re inactive, a stroll around the block may be all it takes to encourage neuroplasticity, she says. And every bit counts. In a 2019 Boston University study of 2354 adults in their 40s through 60s, sedentary people who boosted their daily walking by 7500 steps or more had bigger brains than those who didn’t exercise equivalent to 1.4 to 2.2 fewer years of brain aging, the more light activity study participants logged, such as doing housework, shopping, gardening, or walking the dog, the greater the overall size of their brains.

A．And once age—related brain changes begin, starting in our 30s, exercise helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones.

B．Tips have been offered as to how to do exercise.

C．After four months of workouts, their scores improved on a memory test.

D．Besides, studies also suggest that dying cells and brain wastes can be cleared with enough exercise on a regular basis.

E．But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more research shows that when you exercise, your muscles take charge.

F．Again, a little goes a long way.

23、Some cancer survivors (幸存者) in New Jersey are fighting back by staying fit in the group they call “Team Survivor”. The ladies are amazing, training for a sprint triathlon (短距离铁人三项) in Sandy Hook. Team Survivor has members all over the country, and each one has an inspiring story.

“It has taught me not to fear life,” Team Survivor member Janice Caldwell said. “It has taught me to wake up every morning and be grateful(感激的) that I feel good.” Caldwell got breast cancer four years ago, and she’s been fighting against it with the help of Team Survivor. It is a non-profit group of women with all types of cancer who help each other by promoting (促进) exercise in just about any sport imaginable. At 52, Caldwell just completed her first marathon.

Judy Petsonk is 65, and she’s training for her eighth triathlon. She said the support she got from her teammates removed the unpleasant feelings she had about breast cancer. She loves the motto “I didn’t choose cancer; I choose to be here.” “You can choose what’s going to happen to your body,”Petsonk said. “You can’t choose everything, but you can choose to become stronger day by day, and that’s what I’m choosing.”

Team Survivor has members of every age and athletic ability. Donna Gunderson couldn’t swim when she joined, but she took classes for one year with a volunteer coach. “Now I can go to the pool. I can swim for an hour, and I have no problem with it now,” Gunderson said, “So for those people who say they can’t swim, let me tell you—Yes, you can!” Gunderson now helps her teammates with swimming. “You can’t say ‘I’m sad, and I’m a cancer survivor,’ ”she said. “Instead, you should say ‘No, I’m going to go out there and conquer the world in some form or other. You can do anything you want.’”

A．She is helping her teammates learn to swim.

B．She is training for a sprint triathlon.

C．She is fighting against cancer in hospital.

D．She is learning to swim by herself.

24、While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still—Munchery instead of walking to lunch, Uber instead of walking to the bus stop—services to make you move have been less appealing for consumers.

Fitbit’s stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force. And new data suggests that, for the first time, death rates for large parts of the American population are rising, with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons. Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives, wellness firms want us to believe.

Northrup, president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness, was in Las Vegas to promote TAO’s small device that encourages exercises. He lifts the device, about the size of an apple, and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise.

Nick Mokey, the managing editor of Digital Trends, agrees. “I hate to break it to you, a room full of people sitting down, but sitting is killing you,” he says to the audience. They shift in their seats.

In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall, people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness. They say they’re the largest seller of treadmill（跑步机） desks in the US. At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk, which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table. That’s for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation.

Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle, they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building, neither tends to get used. If the company installs two next to each other, people will use them. “You don’t want to be so noticeable, especially at work,” company spokesman James Lowe says. What’s more, what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office?

【1】According to new data, the rising death rates in America are caused by_____.

 A. lack of exercise B. serious pollution

 C. high work pressure    D. poor indoor environment

【2】What can we learn about the device TAO-Wellness?

 A. It is a kind of treadmill desk.

B. It is comparatively small in size

 C. It is created by LifeSpan Fitness.

D. It is designed for outdoor exercise.

【3】Which of the following may cause more sitting?

 A.TAO-Wellness. B. Fitbit Force. C. Bike Desk. D. Munchery

【4】What is the biggest problem with the treadmill desk?

A. It takes up too much space. 

B. It is not comfortable to use

C. It may cause awkwardness  

D. It will make employees tired

25、A trending new addition to travel destinations around the world is freezing-yet-beautiful Alaska. The poles, the dancing lights, and the winter wonderlands have always attracted extreme travelers—but this time, there is more than the magical draw of the _______ that is inviting people up towards the corners of the globe: climate change.

There’s a strange form of climate anxiety, which is driving more people to places and sights that may _______ to exist in the coming years or decades. Alaska _______ the list of climate-tempted travel destinations. The northern and otherwise-serene Alaskan village of Kaktovik _______ a major boom in tourism last year, as over 2,000 people appeared on its lightly _______ gravel(砂砾) and snowy streets. Until earlier in the decade, local news reports say, the village had fewer than 50 annual visitors. The main _______ now are polar bears, which are being forced into towns by a warming planet and the shrinking Arctic sea ice. All the heating is making it far easier for wildlife _______ and effortless bear selfies. Most visitors are reportedly from China, Europe, or the USA, often arriving on fuel-consuming chartered planes.

Around the mid-1990s, researchers began _______ more female bears denning(筑巢) on land instead of in the ice. And seasons of tourism match up with changing bear behavior. It peaks in autumn (which is also far warmer and breezier than the forthcoming winter—and climate change is making things more pleasant in general) when sea ice is far from the shore, and bears can become _______ on the land until the sea freezes again in winter.

A report in the Climate Science Special Report: Fourth National Climate Assessment found, “Alaska has warmed more than twice as rapidly as the rest of the United States.” This year, alarming temperatures were reported from Alaska. Every day since April 25 saw above ____________ temperatures, the longest streak in a century.

While bears have their charm, melting glaciers are a landscape in their own right. With ____________ like the recent one that glaciers could be melting at 100 times faster than ____________ thought, the number of tourists on ice seems to be going up consistently. Alaska’s tour companies have reported an extraordinary increase—and the number of polar cruises reportedly went up 33 percent in the last decade. Some glaciers have been marked by the rate of melt for tourists to watch and imagine the ____________ from where they stand, much like visitors to the Berlin wall picture the past. As the landscape changes, tour companies have had to ____________ their regular routes and hikes too—some glaciers that had ____________ by foot only a decade ago can now only be reached by helicopter.
