21、 It is nothing new that most of us know that physical activities lead to better health. But for the first time in these years, the United States government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start.
The new guidance states that children as young as three need to be physically active. Earlier guidelines used to begin at six. The most important time for children to begin exercising is between the ages of three and five. Boys and girls in this age group need at least three hours of exercise every day. That could be light activities, moderate (中等的) activities, or even strong activities.
Doctors say it is important to start at a young age. They add that from birth to the age of five, a child's brain develops more than at any other time in life. These developments have a lasting influence on a child's ability to learn and to succeed in school and in life. Children who start exercising at a young age are more likely to develop healthy behavior that will continue into adulthood. However, Dr. Giroir, who works at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, does not suggest putting a five-year-old child on a "treadmill (跑步机)"or other exercise equipment. He thinks that simply giving children the time and space to play actively as they normally would is enough.
The new guidelines say that children aged between 6 and 17 get at least one hour of moderate to strong exercise a day. Most of this exercise should be aerobic exercise (有氧运动),such as biking, swimming or running. Aerobic activities can strengthen (加强)the heart and lungs by making them work hard for several minutes or more. Exercise should also include muscle- and bone-strengthening activities, such as climbing trees or playing sports. Experts suggest that children get this kind of exercise at least three times a week.
【1】What's the best age to begin exercising?
A.Under three.
B.Above six.
C.Between three and five.
D.Between six and seventeen.
【2】From the text, we know a five-year-old child should ______ .
A.run on the treadmill every day
B.do aerobic exercise regularly
C.be given more free time to play
D.do muscle-strengthening activities
【3】What will happen to the body if a boy does aerobic exercise often?
A.His heart and lungs will be stronger.
B.His brain will develop faster.
C.He will be big-boned.
D.He will grow higher.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The earlier exercise guidance is given, the better
B.New exercise instruction: Start earlier
C.Children need more exercise
D.Life lies in movement.
22、 "What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations (条例〉that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss (投放)it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan ( $ 29). For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift (筛选)through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.
【1】What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A.They are the first of their kind. B.They are tied to one's bank account.
C.They have the highest fines. D.They're aided by monitors.
【2】Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A.There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B.It aims to build a new recycling system.
C.It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D.People throw the rubbish here and there.
【3】What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A.Limited time for tossing the trash.
B.Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C.Being fined due to improper behavior.
D.Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B.A New Era of Garbage Classification
C.A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D.An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
23、Kangaroos have long been a nuisance to many Australian farmers. Keeping these kinds of animals away from their crops and water supplies has become a continuous fight. A traditional way has been a series of the huge screaming (尖叫)from loudspeakers. Researchers have found that kangaroos often become used to these man-made sounds and take little notice of them.
Australian farmers could be about to get an unusual new weapon(武器)to protect their crops from kangaroos. Researchers in Melbourne have found that kangaroos can be frightened away by the loud sound of their own large feet. It appears to be quite a breakthrough. This is the noise these animals make when they feel danger before running away quickly. Using the animals’ own alarm system could be what angry farmers have been looking for.
Animal rights protectors are happy about this new finding. When people complain that the number of' kangaroos has risen quickly, they say that a large number of kangaroos have been killed or injured on Australian roads by cars and trucks. Also, they don't want several million to be shot dead every year by human beings. Researchers, who are hoping to develop their footstep sound technology, believe it could also be used to lead kangaroos away from busy highways. The protectors are in favor of this solution which can prevent kangaroos from being harmed and also please the farmers.
【1】What problem do kangaroos bring to Australian farmers?
A.Breaking into houses.
B.Making noises.
C.Frightening farmers.
D.Destroying crops.
【2】What is the new way to drive away kangaroos?
A.Cutting off water suplies.
B.Killing them with guns.
C.Using the sound of their own footstep.
D.Sending man-made sound through loudspeakers.
【3】Why do animal rights protectors agree with this new solution?
A.Because it costs less.
B.Because they prefer new technology.
C.Because it's a prevention — and — protection way.
D.Because it can help reduce the traffic accidents.
24、I have many wonderful memories of my days as a circus clown(小丑), but there is one day that I would rather forget: July 6, 1944. We were playing a two-day stand in Hartford, Connecticut, and the big top caught fire.
I could hear grandstand chairs slamming inside the tent as people headed toward the exits. Some were jumping twelve feet from the top rows of the grandstand and seats to the ground outside. Most of the crowd was pouring through the regular exits and it soon became a panic.
In the midst of this scene the musicians had kept on playing until the tent was on fire over-head because they knew music sometimes might work wonder; they had jumped off the bandstand just before a flaming quarter-pole fell into their stand.
City fire equipment had arrived by now and was pouring streams of water onto the big top area to cool it enough for firemen to enter. In the smoke and confusion, it was impossible to tell whether or not anyone might have been left in the tent. We circus people were ordered away from the smoking ruins that, only a few minutes before, had been the biggest spread of canvas in the world.
I went outside; doctors, and first-aid workers were everywhere, carrying bodies from where the grandstands and seats had been. The toll(伤亡人数) of dead and dying increased so fast that emergency crews were called in from surrounding cities.
Later it was found that 168 people had died in the fire — the worst circus disaster in history, and an afternoon of horror I can never forget.
【1】The musicians kept playing during the fire probably because they ________.
A.thought the fire was in another tent
B.knew nothing about the terrible fire
C.wanted to keep the crowd from panicking
D.believed the show should go on whatever happened
【2】Why were emergency crews from other cities called in?

B.Fire equipment in the city was not enough.
C.Too many people were left in the tent waiting.
D.The circus people were unwilling to do the rescue work.
【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.A Journey to Death
B.The Day the Big Top Burned
C.Memories as a circus clown
D.The Worst Disaster in Human History
