Much of our thinking about health is based on wishful thinking. But science provides clear and simple advice for a healthy life. Graham Lawton explores the evidence. Graham proves that you don’t have to be a health and fitness extremist to be reasonably healthy. He has rounded up the latest and strictest health research and changed it into useful advice on all the big health issues: diet, weight loss, exercise, sleep, ageing and so on.
Graham, New Scientist feature writer, is not the common health expert. He sometimes eats fast food. He has a gym membership but rarely uses it. And he takes medicine to keep his blood pressure under control. He neither has a diet plan nor a 6-week program to keep fit and thin.
But he does have a much better weapon: science. In a talk, Graham explains the basic science, tells people some of the secrets of science, teaches people to use the ability of judgement to tell the good from the bad, and helps them to see beyond the headlines. The talk allows people to eat healthily, lose weight, and sort the truth out from science facts.
But he loves outdoor sports. Last year Graham cycled over 1,200 miles and ran the same distance of 15 marathons. He often goes swimming outdoors and walks up eight flights of stairs to his desk instead of taking the lift. He eats his five copies of fruit and vegetables a day, keeps enough water in his body, and doesn’t eat much meat. Despite all the bad habits. his good ones seem to be winning. Graham is 50, but his “biological age” was recently measured as 45.
24. What can we learn about Graham?
A. He has a very strict diet. B. He has some bad eating habits.
C. He looks down on common health experts. D. He always bases health on wishful thinking.
25. What does Graham’s talk in paragraph 3 cover?
A. Health and science. B. Words as weapons.
C. Functions of medicine. D. Ability and confidence.
26. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us concerning Graham?
A. His indoor sports. B. His way of thinking.
C. His healthy lifestyle. D. His copies of health books.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Professional Ways to Do Sports B. The Secrets of Living a Healthy Life
C. The Unique Path to Scientific Success D. The Importance of Exercise for Health
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Graham把收集到的最新、最严格的健康研究转化为对健康问题的有用建议，以及他的健康的生活方式。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Graham, New Scientist feature writer, is not the common health expert. He sometimes eats fast food. He has a gym membership but rarely uses it. And he takes medicine to keep his blood pressure under control. He neither has a diet plan nor a 6-week program to keep fit and thin.(Graham是《新科学家》特稿作者，他不是那种常见的健康专家。他有时吃快餐。他有健身房会员卡，但很少使用。他还吃药控制血压。他既没有节食计划，也没有6周的减肥计划)”可知，Graham有一些不好的习惯，如吃快餐，有健身房会员卡但很少使用等。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a talk, Graham explains the basic science, tells people some of the secrets of science, teaches people to use the ability of judgement to tell the good from the bad, and helps them to see beyond the headlines. The talk allows people to eat healthily, lose weight, and sort the truth out from science facts.(在一次演讲中，Graham解释了基础科学，告诉人们一些科学的秘密，教人们使用判断能力来区分好坏，并帮助看到头条新闻之外的东西。这个演讲让人们健康饮食，减肥，并从科学事实中梳理真相)”可知，第三段中提到的Graham的这个演讲涵盖了科学和健康方面的内容。故选A。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But he loves outdoor sports. Last year Graham cycled over 1, 200 miles and ran the same distance of 15marathons. He often goes swimming outdoors, walks up eight flights of stairs to his desk instead of taking the lift. He eats his five copies of fruit and vegetables a day, keeps enough water in his body, and doesn’t eat much meat. Despite all the bad habits, his good ones seem to be winning. Graham is 50, but his ‘biological age’ was recently measured as 45.(但是他喜欢户外运动。去年，Graham骑行了1200多英里，跑了相当于15场马拉松的距离。他经常去户外游泳，爬八层楼梯去上班，而不是坐电梯。他每天吃五份水果和蔬菜，体内保持足够的水分，而且不怎么吃肉。尽管有那么多坏习惯，但他的好习惯似乎正在占上风。Graham今年50岁，但他的‘生理年龄’最近被测量为45岁)”可知，此段主要介绍了Graham的一些健康的生活方式。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Much of our thinking about health is based on wishful thinking. But science provides clear and simple advice for a healthy life. Graham Lawton explores the evidence.

C
African countries have retrieved some historic heritage (遗产), which directly reflects the important development of human society, from European countries. Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.
But many artifacts (手工艺品) are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back. One such object is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford. It is one of at least 279 objects there taken from the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom.
Apollo John Rwamparo is a deputy prime minister of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural heritage. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan officials are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa. Through many efforts, an artifact was returned to its home.
The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa. Rose Mwanja said Uganda’s commission had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects. She is Uganda’s commissioner for museums. She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.
Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found. That led to an organization started by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo. The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries. By 2020, when Dokolo died, his group had successfully recovered 15 items. However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.
28. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Attacked. B. Recognised.
C. Given up. D. Taken back.
29. Where is the artifact of the eight-legged seat at present?
A In Benin. B. In Uganda.
C. In Germany. D. In Britain.
30. What is Ugandan officials’ attitude to their country’s cultural heritage?
A. Concerned. B. Curious.
C. Uncaring. D. Confused.
31. Which word best describes the recovery of artifacts?
A. Frightening. B. Doubtful.
C. Effortless. D. Challenging.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了非洲国家从欧洲国家收回历史遗产的问题。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.(最近，德国签署了一项协议，归还19世纪达荷美王国(位于今天的贝宁境内)的数百件珍贵艺术品)”说明德国要归还艺术品，从而推知，划线词句“African countries have retrieved some historic heritage (遗产), which directly reflects the important development of human society, from European countries.(非洲国家从欧洲国家retrieved一些历史遗产，这些遗产直接反映了人类社会的重要发展)”其中划线词汇意思应为“收回，拿回”。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One such object is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. (其中一件物品是一个来自乌干达古王国的八条腿座椅。这件重要的文物现在位于数千公里外的英国博物馆)”可知，八脚椅的神器现在在英国。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Apollo John Rwamparo is a deputy prime minister of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural heritage. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan officials are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. (Apollo John Rwamparo是乌干达副总理。他很重视这个国家的文化遗产。他要求英国归还这些文物。乌干达官员正准备与英国剑桥大学会面，讨论归还这些历史文物的问题)”可推知，乌干达官员对本国文化遗产是非常关注的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time. (然而，对于非洲政府来说，文物的收回仍然是一场斗争，需要很长时间)”可推知，文物收回具有挑战性。故选D项。
D
One million species (物种) face the risk of dying out, more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible.
The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) based the assessment (评估) on some 15,000 sources considering the causes and results of environmental changes over the past 50 years.
The findings are clear and alarming. The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of dying out. These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated (驯养的) animals are at risk; Over 9 percent of the domesticated animal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost.
There are some big problems. This rapid decrease of the natural world endangers global food safety and quality of life. For example, about 4 billion people rely on natural medicines, produced by the disappearing species, for their health care. And losses of species that pollinate (授粉) plants threaten up to $577 billion in crops each year.
The researchers found five drivers responsible for the unpleasant news. They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use. The change in ecosystems towards agriculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species. It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures (harvesting crops, cutting down the trees, hunting and fishing) and climate change, including rising sea levels and increasing extreme weather events, wildfires, floods and droughts. The final causes of species’ dying out are pollution, and the spread of non-native species that can displace or kill native plants and animals.
The researchers say it is time for humans to make a change. They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life could turn the tables. Whether that is possible is an open question.
32. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To introduce the schedule of the report.
C. To introduce humans’ sense of responsibility.
D. To introduce the history of human development.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly show?
A. The reliability of the findings.
B. The species of animals worldwide.
C. The seriousness of the species’ loss.
D. The risky experiences of the researchers.
34. What is the biggest threat to species’ survival according to the researchers?
A. Climate change.
B. Natural disasters.
C. The direct overuse of creatures.
D. The changes of their living space.
35. What are the researchers in favor of?
A. Changing our living habits.
B. Spreading non-native species.
C. Limiting native plants and animals.
D. Stopping discussing the food problem.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。联合国的一份报告表明，现在世界上有100多万物种面临灭绝，文章分析了物种灭绝的原因以及对人类造成的后果，并呼吁人类应该做出改变。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“One million species (物种) face the risk of dying out, more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible.(根据联合国5月发布的一份报告，有100万个物种面临灭绝的风险，比人类历史上任何时候都多。人类应该为此负责)”可知，本段引用联合国公布的一项报告，说明世界上物种灭绝严重，结合下文对物种灭绝的原因和后果进行分析可以判断，本段的目的是引出本文的话题。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，结合本段中的“The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of dying out.(研究人员发现，世界上约有25%的植物和动物面临灭绝的危险)”及“Even the domesticated (驯养的) animals are at risk(即使是家养的动物也处于危险之中)”可知，世界上25%的动植物处于灭绝的危险中，家养的动物也处于危险中，所以本段主要说明了物种灭绝的严重性。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use. The change in ecosystems towards agriculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species.(他们认为首当其冲的是土地和海洋利用的变化。生态系统向农业和其他人类发展的转变导致了物种自然生存空间的变化)”可知，造成物种灭绝的威胁中排在最前面的是动物生存空间的变化。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers say it is time for humans to make a change. They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life could turn the tables.(研究人员说，现在是人类做出改变的时候了。他们认为，也许一种新的全球方法来节省食物和拒绝我们生活中的浪费可以扭转局面)”可知，研究者说我们人类应该做出改变了，一种新的全球方法来节省食物和拒绝我们生活中的浪费可以扭转局面。由此可推断，研究者支持“改变生活习惯”这一观点。故选A。

第二节
67. 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。
Daniel and Lucas are twins. They are teenagers, studying in the same class. Their teenage life is rich and colorful. Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year. The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures.
In the summer of last year, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa. They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa, seeing the various beautiful sights and attractions. One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn’t a very high mountain and fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task.
Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony, who was old and thin. He decided to start the slow walk up to the mountain.
It seemed like that Tony was taking forever to climb just a short distance, but considering his personal safety, he had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons’ one step. When he walked closer to his grandsons, he had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them, over and over again.
Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain. On the contrary, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk. They enjoyed all that they had seen and all that they had heard along the way up to the top of the mountain. They stopped now and then to look at every large rock and observe the unusual plant formations. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, “Grandpa, here is a special plant. Come and have a look.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down.

Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down. He looked down and saw his foot caught on a tree root. He tried to stand up but failed. Daniel and Lucas waited for some time and then looked back, only to find their grandpa struggling to stand on his feet. They put aside their curiosity, running quickly towards their grandpa. Daniel kept comforting him nervously. Meanwhile, Lucas tore off the root and examined Tony’s feet. There were no wounds but Tony was unable to walk.
Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain. Facing the sudden problem, they responded positively. Lucas who knew the first-aid knowledge treated Tony’s feet. Then, seeing their Grandpa really wanted to reach the top, he said happily, “Why don’t we take turns carrying our grandpa to the top of the mountain?” Daniel said OK immediately. In this way, they finally enjoyed the great scenery on the mountaintop.
