Abut ne in fur Americans are physically inactive, accrding t data frm the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin. But fr many f us, physical inactivity is nt an intentinal chice. It stems frm sitting all day at a desk jb, driving t wrk because there are n suitable walking r cycling rutes. But what if the infrastructure (基础设施) arund yu gave yu the pprtunity t mve yur bdy withut taking extra time ut f yur day?
“An active city wuld ffer yu lads f ways t get frm A t B,” said Anna Bldina, an architectural researcher and designer wh studies active cities at the University f Cambridge in the U. K. “Nt nly wuld these active cities be full f variety, but the varius elements f an active city als have their wn specific benefits: fr example, stepping stnes imprve balanced c-activatin f a variety f upper and lwer bdy muscles as well as mindfulness and cncentratin n’ here and nw,’ knwn as a stress relief.”
This all sunds great fr future city design and planning, but hw can we integrate these feature s int existing city infrastructure? “The best way t transfrm a place int an active city is thrugh small interventins here and there: an extra stepping stne shrtcut acrss the grass r extra lg acrss the rain garden,” Bldina said. “Smetimes it is nt abut adding; it is abut remving. It is als imprtant that these rutes are accessible t peple f all ages and abilities.”
Of curse, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, hw can we encurage thse wh are able t take the mre physically active rutes? “One f ur studies was aimed specifically at encuragement,” Bldina said. The study fund that the mst effective means f encuragement was prviding a shrtcut. “Other factrs included playfulness, crssing water, using natural materials and adding handrails fr cnfidence,” added Bldina, whse grup is currently wrking with architects in Cambridge t create such active landscapes.
4. Which f the fllwing best explains “stems frm” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Relies n.B. Is caused by.C. Mixes with.D. Is changed int.
5. What can we learn abut active cities?
A. They cntribute t better health.B. They ffer persnalized activities.
C. They rely n gvernmental supprt.D. They generally lk like each ther.
6. What des Bldina think matters when we transfrm a place int an active city?
A. Prtecting the lcal envirnment.B. Adding a variety f safety equipment.
C. Making it easy fr peple t use.D. Designing as many rutes as pssible.
7. What des Bldina’s study try t find?
A. Hw t mtivate citizens t use active rutes.
B. Hw t make active rutes functinal and fun.
C. Why citizens have little interest in active rutes.
D. Why Cambridge can succeed, in adpting active rutcs.

I started t imagine hw I’d lead my wn tur. Wrking as a guard at the Guggenheim, I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-lng explanatin n the wall beside many f the artwrks. Occasinally it’s helpful, and fr years I thught it was dwnright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each wrk. But nw, mre ften than nt, I wanted t tear all the labels dwn. The wall text stays just t the side f art, like the answer key at the bttm f a wrd search, its definitive tne sending the message that there’s nly ne right answer t the art.
I realized that art histrians culd be unreliable narratrs (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” cnsisting f wrinkled lead (铅), tk n a different lk every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a bard with the riginal pht f the sculpture and instructins “Please indicate where the piece was tuched,” s an assistant culd repsitin the sculpture t match the picture. But an assistant I talked with tld me that the sculpture was meant t have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The wrk lks different every time it’s shwn —nt that yu’d knw it frm the wall text.
Therefre, I insist that yu dn’t lk at the little label beside each artwrk. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried t stand in frnt f the wall label s peple culdn’t see it, and I heard their interpretatins g wild. They saw a finger, a wman giving birth, a graph, a Kursawa character, a dlphin, a nse, a fish.
If I learned ne thing as a guard, it’s that smetimes being frced t lk at an artwrk, even when yu dn’t want t, is life-changing. Fight the urge t see what yu expect t be there; fcus instead n what is there. I’m nt cncerned with whether yu think it’s gd. Just watch the thing in frnt f yu.
8. What can we learn abut the authr frm paragraph l?
A. He is frming his wn judgement.B. He likes traveling with his friends.
C. He wants t make his vice heard.D. He writes explanatins fr artwrks.
9. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining “Tearing Lead”?
A. T intrduce a special assistant.B. T prve that wall texts can be wrng.
C. T call fr prtectin f artwrks n shw.D. T shw hw art histrians describe wrks.
10. Why did the authr stand in frnt f the label n the wall?
A. T prevent the visitrs getting clser t the sculpture.
B. T make visitrs have a better view f the sculpture.
C. T push the visitrs t appreciate n their wn.
D. T interact with the visitrs in a fun way.
11. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw I Rse frm a Museum Guard t an Art Expert
B. What Categries f Artwrks Museums Like Shwing
C. Hw Wrking in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpse
D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me abut Lking at Art
D
We have all experienced that feeling f mental exhaustin (疲惫) after fcusing n a tricky prblem. Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard wrk, but is it? The answer is a tuch less bvius than yu might suspect.
The brain is certainly a hungry rgan. “It is the mst energy-cnsuming part f the bdy,” says Nilli Lavie at University Cllege Lndn. Althugh it accunts fr arund 2 percent f ur bdy weight, it uses sme 20 percent f the energy we burn at rest.
Interestingly, when it cmes t energy use, the brain desn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditinally regard as “hard” and thse that cme mre naturally. This was first demnstrated in the 1950s in a study shwing that the brain’s level f metablic (代谢的) activity is remarkably cnstant, regardless f whether we are cncentrating r letting ur mind wander.
Yur brain distributes resurces t its different parts depending n the mental activity being carried ut. But there is a trade-ff. Fr instance, in a study published in Nvember, Lavie and her teammates measured energy use in the brain regin respnsible fr daydreaming and fund that it decreased when vlunteers carried ut a prblem-slving task that required fcused attentin.
S thinking hard des burn mre energy in the brain regin invlved, but this is ffset by energy savings in ther parts f the brain. The amunts f energy invlved are very small. Actually, a self-cntrl task, such as keeping yur hand in icy water fr as lng as yu can, “burns up 1 calrie f glucse”, says Ewan McNay, at the University at Albany in New Yrk. Hwever, althugh this is a tiny amunt f fuel, yur brain desn’t see it that way. “It wrries abut an imbalance f supply ver demand,” he says. If the brain detects lcal drainage (排泄) f glucse—the sugar that fuels the brain—it perceives it as smething bad, says McNay. This is what gives rise t the feeling f being exhausted after prlnged (长时间的) fcus.
12. Hw des the authr lk at detailed thinking?
A. It can develp the less-used brain areas.B. It can make the brain becme tired quickly.
C. It is beynd the assumptin f mst peple.D. It is bth mentally and physically demanding.
13. What des the study in the 1950s tell us abut ur brain?
A. It is always in a hungry state.B. It treats mental tasks equally.
C. It burns less calries when at rest.D. It has a natural tendency t wander.
14. When the brain settles a prblem, the brain regin fr daydreaming ______.
A. cnnects with ther reginsB. slves a difficult task
C. receives mre resurcesD. becmes less active
15. Why d we feel tired after prlnged fcus?
A. Our brain has anxiety ver the prper distributin f energy.
B. Our brain burns much mre energy than it is supplied.
C. Our brain distributes energy t the wrng brain areas.
D. Our brain smetimes miscalculates the energy used.

Jamesn Lbb, a 24-year-ld investment banker frm Trnt, was just ne week int his new jb n Wall Street. Over the past mnth, he’d been settling in t the New Yrk City apartment he was sharing with his friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri.
Nw, n Oct.4, the tw were taking a quick lunchtime wrkut n Pier (码头) 15, verlking the East River, when Lbb frze. “Smebdy’s in the water,” he said. Befre Jafri culd respnd, Lbb climbed ver the rail at the edge f the pier and jumped int the cld, plluted water withut taking the time t remve his shes. What Lbb had heard was an alarming shut frm Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a persn flating (漂浮), mtinless.
Appraching the victim, Lbb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, arund 200 punds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet belw the surface by the time Lbb reached him. The rescuer dived, felt arund, grasped the man and kicked upward until they bth resurfaced.
Jafri was in water nw. The tw friends used all their strength t flat the man n his back, even as the water threatened t vertake them. As Jafri put his arms arund the man’s shulders and Lbb supprted him, the pair struggled back t Pier 15. Their lungs cried ut fr air and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immbile figure thrugh the freezing and fast-mving water.
The man was breathing shallwly, his face pale. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. Hw t get ut? The pier’s decking (甲板) std an unreachable 10 feet abve their heads. It is unlikely fr them t climb nt the pier.
Suddenly the man made a slight mve, struggling cnfusedly.

Abut ne in fur Americans are physically inactive, accrding t data frm the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin. But fr many f us, physical inactivity is nt an intentinal chice. It stems frm sitting all day at a desk jb, driving t wrk because there are n suitable walking r cycling rutes. But what if the infrastructure (基础设施) arund yu gave yu the pprtunity t mve yur bdy withut taking extra time ut f yur day?
“An active city wuld ffer yu lads f ways t get frm A t B,” said Anna Bldina, an architectural researcher and designer wh studies active cities at the University f Cambridge in the U. K. “Nt nly wuld these active cities be full f variety, but the varius elements f an active city als have their wn specific benefits: fr example, stepping stnes imprve balanced c-activatin f a variety f upper and lwer bdy muscles as well as mindfulness and cncentratin n’ here and nw,’ knwn as a stress relief.”
This all sunds great fr future city design and planning, but hw can we integrate these feature s int existing city infrastructure? “The best way t transfrm a place int an active city is thrugh small interventins here and there: an extra stepping stne shrtcut acrss the grass r extra lg acrss the rain garden,” Bldina said. “Smetimes it is nt abut adding; it is abut remving. It is als imprtant that these rutes are accessible t peple f all ages and abilities.”
Of curse, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, hw can we encurage thse wh are able t take the mre physically active rutes? “One f ur studies was aimed specifically at encuragement,” Bldina said. The study fund that the mst effective means f encuragement was prviding a shrtcut. “Other factrs included playfulness, crssing water, using natural materials and adding handrails fr cnfidence,” added Bldina, whse grup is currently wrking with architects in Cambridge t create such active landscapes.
4. Which f the fllwing best explains “stems frm” underlined in paragraph 1?

A. Prtecting the lcal envirnment.B. Adding a variety f safety equipment.
C. Making it easy fr peple t use.D. Designing as many rutes as pssible.
7. What des Bldina’s study try t find?
A. Hw t mtivate citizens t use active rutes.
B. Hw t make active rutes functinal and fun.
C. Why citizens have little interest in active rutes.
D. Why Cambridge can succeed, in adpting active rutcs.

I started t imagine hw I’d lead my wn tur. Wrking as a guard at the Guggenheim, I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-lng explanatin n the wall beside many f the artwrks. Occasinally it’s helpful, and fr years I thught it was dwnright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each wrk. But nw, mre ften than nt, I wanted t tear all the labels dwn. The wall text stays just t the side f art, like the answer key at the bttm f a wrd search, its definitive tne sending the message that there’s nly ne right answer t the art.
I realized that art histrians culd be unreliable narratrs (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” cnsisting f wrinkled lead (铅), tk n a different lk every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a bard with the riginal pht f the sculpture and instructins “Please indicate where the piece was tuched,” s an assistant culd repsitin the sculpture t match the picture. But an assistant I talked with tld me that the sculpture was meant t have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The wrk lks different every time it’s shwn —nt that yu’d knw it frm the wall text.
Therefre, I insist that yu dn’t lk at the little label beside each artwrk. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried t stand in frnt f the wall label s peple culdn’t see it, and I heard their interpretatins g wild. They saw a finger, a wman giving birth, a graph, a Kursawa character, a dlphin, a nse, a fish.
If I learned ne thing as a guard, it’s that smetimes being frced t lk at an artwrk, even when yu dn’t want t, is life-changing. Fight the urge t see what yu expect t be there; fcus instead n what is there. I’m nt cncerned with whether yu think it’s gd. Just watch the thing in frnt f yu.
8. What can we learn abut the authr frm paragraph l?
A. He is frming his wn judgement.B. He likes traveling with his friends.
C. He wants t make his vice heard.D. He writes explanatins fr artwrks.
9. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining “Tearing Lead”?
A. T intrduce a special assistant.B. T prve that wall texts can be wrng.
C. T call fr prtectin f artwrks n shw.D. T shw hw art histrians describe wrks.
10. Why did the authr stand in frnt f the label n the wall?
A. T prevent the visitrs getting clser t the sculpture.
B. T make visitrs have a better view f the sculpture.
C. T push the visitrs t appreciate n their wn.
D. T interact with the visitrs in a fun way.
11. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw I Rse frm a Museum Guard t an Art Expert
B. What Categries f Artwrks Museums Like Shwing
C. Hw Wrking in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpse
D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me abut Lking at Art
D
We have all experienced that feeling f mental exhaustin (疲惫) after fcusing n a tricky prblem. Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard wrk, but is it? The answer is a tuch less bvius than yu might suspect.
The brain is certainly a hungry rgan. “It is the mst energy-cnsuming part f the bdy,” says Nilli Lavie at University Cllege Lndn. Althugh it accunts fr arund 2 percent f ur bdy weight, it uses sme 20 percent f the energy we burn at rest.
Interestingly, when it cmes t energy use, the brain desn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditinally regard as “hard” and thse that cme mre naturally. This was first demnstrated in the 1950s in a study shwing that the brain’s level f metablic (代谢的) activity is remarkably cnstant, regardless f whether we are cncentrating r letting ur mind wander.
Yur brain distributes resurces t its different parts depending n the mental activity being carried ut. But there is a trade-ff. Fr instance, in a study published in Nvember, Lavie and her teammates measured energy use in the brain regin respnsible fr daydreaming and fund that it decreased when vlunteers carried ut a prblem-slving task that required fcused attentin.
S thinking hard des burn mre energy in the brain regin invlved, but this is ffset by energy savings in ther parts f the brain. The amunts f energy invlved are very small. Actually, a self-cntrl task, such as keeping yur hand in icy water fr as lng as yu can, “burns up 1 calrie f glucse”, says Ewan McNay, at the University at Albany in New Yrk. Hwever, althugh this is a tiny amunt f fuel, yur brain desn’t see it that way. “It wrries abut an imbalance f supply ver demand,” he says. If the brain detects lcal drainage (排泄) f glucse—the sugar that fuels the brain—it perceives it as smething bad, says McNay. This is what gives rise t the feeling f being exhausted after prlnged (长时间的) fcus.
12. Hw des the authr lk at detailed thinking?
A. It can develp the less-used brain areas.B. It can make the brain becme tired quickly.
C. It is beynd the assumptin f mst peple.D. It is bth mentally and physically demanding.
13. What des the study in the 1950s tell us abut ur brain?
A. It is always in a hungry state.B. It treats mental tasks equally.
C. It burns less calries when at rest.D. It has a natural tendency t wander.
14. When the brain settles a prblem, the brain regin fr daydreaming ______.
A. cnnects with ther reginsB. slves a difficult task
C. receives mre resurcesD. becmes less active
15. Why d we feel tired after prlnged fcus?
A. Our brain has anxiety ver the prper distributin f energy.
B. Our brain burns much mre energy than it is supplied.
C. Our brain distributes energy t the wrng brain areas.
D. Our brain smetimes miscalculates the energy used.

Jamesn Lbb, a 24-year-ld investment banker frm Trnt, was just ne week int his new jb n Wall Street. Over the past mnth, he’d been settling in t the New Yrk City apartment he was sharing with his friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri.
Nw, n Oct.4, the tw were taking a quick lunchtime wrkut n Pier (码头) 15, verlking the East River, when Lbb frze. “Smebdy’s in the water,” he said. Befre Jafri culd respnd, Lbb climbed ver the rail at the edge f the pier and jumped int the cld, plluted water withut taking the time t remve his shes. What Lbb had heard was an alarming shut frm Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a persn flating (漂浮), mtinless.
Appraching the victim, Lbb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, arund 200 punds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet belw the surface by the time Lbb reached him. The rescuer dived, felt arund, grasped the man and kicked upward until they bth resurfaced.
Jafri was in water nw. The tw friends used all their strength t flat the man n his back, even as the water threatened t vertake them. As Jafri put his arms arund the man’s shulders and Lbb supprted him, the pair struggled back t Pier 15. Their lungs cried ut fr air and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immbile figure thrugh the freezing and fast-mving water.
The man was breathing shallwly, his face pale. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. Hw t get ut? The pier’s decking (甲板) std an unreachable 10 feet abve their heads. It is unlikely fr them t climb nt the pier.
