22、On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking with difficulty up to the stage where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,” says Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street.

He was about 25 pounds overweight and had chronic trouble with his back, knees, and shoulders. But instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal: He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise — even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up.

Owen began his new exercise regimen (养生计划) by walking, though he became out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics done, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and to design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.

In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains.

Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50, in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. The key: getting started, even if you walk just three blocks, which was all he could manage at first. “Think of it as movement, not exercise,” he says. “The key is slow and steady progress.”

Now 81 and retired, Owen exercises an hour a day, six days a week. “It is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life,” he says.

【1】Why did Owen make up his mind to do exercise?

A．To celebrate his 70th birthday.

B．To get rid of his physical pain.

C．To write a book about exercise.

D．To find a hobby after retirement.

【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The exercise he preferred to do.

B．The routine his trainer designed for him.

C．The difficulty he met during exercise.

D．The process he undertook to keep fit.

【3】What advice did Owen give to the people after 50 in his book?

A．They should invest on Wall Street.

B．They should only do some slow exercise.

C．They should do exercise step by step.

D．They should exercise an hour a day

【4】what does the underline word “investment” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Input

B．Money

C．Solution

D．Impression

23、Ben Lecomte, a French long-distance swimmer, dropped into the water Tuesday at Choshi, Japan, and embarked on his attempt to become the first person to swim across the Pacific Ocean, BBC News reports.

Six years in the planning, the 5,500-mile effort is expected to take five to six months, with Lecomte swimming eight hours a day and covering an average of 30 miles daily, according to his website.

His route to San Francisco will take him through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area three times the size of France where large amounts of garbage and plastic waste have collected, CNN reports.

Lecomte will be accompanied by a specially outfitted support boat named Discoverer. He will take rest periods on the boat, but it will return him to his stopping point each day to make sure he swims the entire distance.

In addition to accomplishing a first, Lecomte said, he wants to draw attention to the problems of ocean pollution and climate change. A team of scientists plan to conduct research for 12 scientific institutions, including NASA and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, while he is making his swim.

Lecomte is no stranger to feats of long-distance open-water swimming. In 1998, he swam 4,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. On that swim he encountered sharks and stingrays. This time, he said, he will be wearing a shark-repellent bracelet.

One of the challenges will be making sure he has enough energy each day, and Lecomte said he intends to consume 8,000 calories daily.

【1】The purpose of Lecomte’s swimming across the Pacific Ocean are the followings except ________.

A. becoming the first to swim across the Pacific Ocean

B. raising people’s awareness of ocean pollution

C. letting people realize the problem of climate change

D. planning to conduct research for scientific institutions

【2】How long will it take Lecomte to swim across the Pacific Ocean?

A. about 700 hours.

B. about 1000 hours.

C. about 1400 hours.

D. about 1800 hours.

【3】Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

A. Lecomte is a short-distance swimmer.

B. No one has ever swum across the Pacific Ocean.

C. Lecomte intends to swim across the Pacific Ocean alone.

D. Lecomte was once attacked by sharks when swimming in the Pacific Ocean.

24、   Petrol and diesel (柴油）cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.

One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been ‘range anxiety’ — drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.

Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags（标签） drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion（燃料） engine models a run for their money.

As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.

Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study’s findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.

【1】Which is the best title for this passage?

A. My Dream Car B. History of Electric Cars

C. Problems with Petrol Cars D. Driving into the Future

【2】As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means _______.

A. aim B. barrier

C. consequence D. step

【3】In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?

A. They were expensive.

B. They were very poorly made.

C. They were not widely promoted.

D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.

【4】What is the function of Paragraph 4?

A. To introduce the history of electric travel.

B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.

C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.

D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
