21、 Sitting around doing nothing used to seem like one of the safest activities possible. Then a few years ago scientists discovered that sitting all clay causes harmful changes that increase your chances of meeting an early end. Even regular workouts didn't fix the ill effects of having your bottom in a chair all workday. Suddenly, sitting became public health enemy number one. However, a new research finds that tiny bursts of intense activity are enough to protect your body from the worst effects of your couch-bound lifestyle.
In the research, the scientists closely observed eight young, healthy volunteers as they sat around. On the first day of the experiment they simply lounged for six hours. On the second day they got up every hour and engaged in five rounds of four seconds of intense workouts on a specialized bike.
"Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies. In short, they didn't exhibit the usual ill effects of having sat all day. This study is small, but it's still both hopeful and relevant. The results suggest that breaking up sitting with frequent exercise can undo some of the effects of being inactive," explains Gretchen Reynolds.
"While the study used a special type of bike developed by sports scientists, the researchers feel similar results are obtainable with home exercise equipment. However, you may have to work for a few more seconds to reach the same level of intensity. You should try to get your heart pumping to its maximum as quickly as possible to ensure the effect. When you find yourself sitting for most of the day, try to rise frequently and move as often during the day as possible and for as many seconds as you can manage," Reynolds concludes.
【1】What does the new research find?
A.Regular workouts can extend your life.
B.Sitting all clay can cause permanent harm.
C.Sitting is a worst enemy for people's health.
D.Intense exercise can relieve the damage of sitting.
【2】How did the researchers reach the conclusion?
A.By comparing figures.
B.By analyzing phenomena.
C.By describing behaviors.
D.By referring to documents.
【3】What can we know from Reynolds' words?
A.The study still needs further experiments for data.
B.Reaching maximum heart rate should be the aim.
C.Working out at home is much less effective.
D.20 seconds' exercise is far from enough.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.The Worst Health Problem Is Solved
B.Intense Activities Are Beneficial to Health
C.Just 4 Seconds' Exercise Makes a Big Difference
D.New Research Redefines a Healthy Lifestyle
22、 You are a member in a full-time school called “life”. Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you are travelling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life.
As you are travelling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn.
The challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. But don’t compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently.
【1】According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?
A.Gathering different opinions from others.
B.Taking the distinct path from others.
C.Learning the lessons presented to you.
D.Doing the different things from others.
【2】From the passage we can conclude .
A.everyone has his own track to follow
B.unexpected things usually happen to the peers
C.a painful divorce must lie in financial problems
D.a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
【3】In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with .
A.are beyond your power
B.keep you from growth
C.limit your development
D.help you with your success
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.All things should be equal and justice to everybody.
B.You should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others.
C.One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
D.You can complain life is unfair whenever possible.
23、With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone (克隆) the animal and save the endangered species (物种). That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A& M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and ifs difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
【1】The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to ________.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
【2】According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
【3】The best title for the passage may be ________.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
【4】From the passage we know that ________.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century
24、Kids’ birthday parties are wonderfully fun for all, but in the way that they are traditionally celebrated, they are the enemy of “zero waste living”. A kid’s birthday party can produce lots of waste, from the plates, cups, and uneaten food, to the gift wrap, present boxes, and disposable (一次性的) decorations.
It doesn’t have to be like that, though, as it is possible to hold a birthday party without waste. Here are some ideas on how to cut down on unnecessary waste and have a fun celebration.
Invitations
Forget the themed paper invitations; they get thrown away almost immediately anyway. 【1】 The mobile phone is a common communication tool which enables your guests to receive the invitation at any time.
Decorations
【2】 Stay away from them altogether, including balloons. If you must decorate, choose some reusable, classic decorations that can be pulled out every single year, such as colored lights. Make your own painted and personalized banner, paper hats, and so on. Keep them for the next year.
Food
Don’t overdo the food preparation. 【3】 So you should put out only what is necessary, rather than ending up with loads of leftovers that are potentially ruined by the kids. Keep the rest for other meals. If other parents bring food, ask them to bring it in reusable containers.
Gifts
The gift giving part of a birthday party can produce a lot of unappealing trash, which is why you should choose an alternative. My kids have gone to several “toonie parties (a toonie is a two-dollar coin in Canada), where each guest gives two dollars in their card and that money can be used by the birthday child to buy a single toy. 【4】
In my years of parenting, I’ve realized that kids mostly just want to play together. 【5】 In other words, you don’t need to worry about it not feeling like a birthday. Furthermore, it will be a new and improved version that doesn’t include massive bags of trash at the end of the day.
A.However, most parents find it hard to hold a “clean” party.
B.Decorations can usually make the party room more attractive.
C.Try using a basic email or phone call to create your guest list.
D.Decorations for kids’ birthday parties are almost always disposable.
E.They will create a party feeling without much assistance from parents.
F.Kids hardly eat anything at birthday parties because they’re so excited.
G.It’s a great idea for reducing waste and making a child’s birthday wishes come true.
25、My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.
He called out to me today saying“Papa, sit.” That usually means everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be stubborn and will not stop calling out until I . He was playing with beads (珠子) , pushing a string through them. Then after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him pick up each bead, look at it as if it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.
With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting . “ What a long time it will take ! Why cannot he grab ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any difference between his play and his the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.
Then it suddenly me that this boy was enjoying the whole .The journey was his goal. For him the was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective to live each moment as it is the moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else matters.
Looking at how my son was putting beads into the box me that the process was the goal.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
I believe in love. I believe in all the elements from which love is made. And I believe in their combined power.
Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage dropped him off and turned to leave. “What are his favorite things?” I yelled. “Noodles,” they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified.
Luke kicked and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick.
That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, “What is it?” I said, “The moon. It's the moon.” He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas. Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to.
“What should I do?” I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;

“Who is she?” Luke asked.
