27、On March 11, 2011, 16-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu was skating at a local rink when the ice beneath him began cracking. He was experiencing 2011’s deadly Great East Japan Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0 and killed at least 18,500 people. The event left him with a greater determination to make every day count.

He was introduced to the world of figure skating at the age of 4. As he watched his sister skate, her coach suggested that the energetic little boy give skating a try. He loved the sport and entered his first competition at age 10. By the time he was 19, Hanyu had won two Olympic gold medals. This achievement made him the first Asian skater in the men’s singles category to be an Olympic champion.

But Hanyu is very strong and able to perfectly perform jumps and moves on the ice that others can only attempt. Hanyu’s performances feature long, smooth and high leg kicks. As he glides effortlessly across the ice, he sometimes looks more like a ballet dancer than a figure skater.When people watch Hanyu perform, it’s clear how much he enjoys himself, and the audiences love him in return. After many performances, people in the crowd shower Hanyu with his loved Pooh Bears.

There’s no denying Hanyu’s star power on the ice, but he’s admired off the ice as well. Since the deadly earthquake, Hanyu has helped raise funds for victims. Over the past 10 years, he has also personally given about US$300,000 to help rebuild the local ice rink in Sendai, Hanyu’s hometown.

28、Housework might seem a drag, but researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, cleaning floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. A Singapore-based team of researchers said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, lowers the risks and effects of chronic (慢性的) diseases, and reduces falls, dependency and death rate among older adults”.

The team randomly asked adults to complete cognitive (认知的) function tests as well as activities to assess their physical abilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as they could. Participants were also tested on their levels of physical activity, including the amount of housework they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall based on measures such as knee extension strength. Most of those who reported doing high levels of heavy or light housework were women. After taking age and sex into account, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of heavy housework, compared with low levels. Sit-to-stand times were lower for older adults reporting high amounts of heavy housework compared with low amounts, while they were also assessed as being at lower risk of having a fall.

Gill Livingston, professor of psychiatry (精神病学) of older people, who was not involved in the work, said the study was interesting but had little meaning as people who are not so well may be expected to do less housework. “I think the advice would be that housework can be good exercise, which is good for your heart and brain. We cannot draw any conclusions from this study that it is specifically protective,” she said.

【1】What is the benefit of regular physical activity for adults?

A．To provide a cure for chronic diseases.

B．To promote their health and wellbeing.

C．To prevent them from accidents or death.

D．To help them to become socially adaptable.

【2】What can we learn from the study of housework?

A．Age and sex are key factors in cognitive and attention ability.

B．Doing housework can improve cognitive and attention ability.

C．women are more suitable for heavy or light housework than men.

D．Doing more housework can avoid the risk of the old having a fall.

【3】What is Gill Livingston’s attitude to the study of housework?

A．Unconcerned.

B．Subjective.

C．Critical.

D．Positive.

【4】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A．A news report.

B．A social survey.

C．A sports journal.

D．A health magazine.

29、In the U. S., people eat more protein than they need to, which might not be bad for human health, but does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers from protein digestion: nitrogen compounds(氯化合物) that can feed harmful algal blooms(藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water.

Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater—some 67 to 100 precent—is a by-product of water people consume.

Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms(微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones,” where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term.

【1】Which aspect of Americans’ diet does Almaraz’s research focus on ?

A．Its variety.

B．Its effect.

C．Its make-up.

D．Its amount.

【2】What causes “dead zones” in the water?

A．No oxygen for many species.

B．Death of lots of healthy algae.

C．Microorganisms’overconsumption of nutrients.

D．Poisonous chemicals released by harmful algae.

【3】What is the problem with current algal bloom treatment methods?

A．They are costly.

B．They may kill all algae.

C．They are slow to take effect.

D．They may cause secondary pollution.

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．It is high time to treat wild algae growth.

B．Eating too much protein harms the planet.

C．Prevention is better than cure in treating air pollution.

D．Researchers find solutions to the wastewater problem.

32、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。

Ben was awakened by a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later a man wearing hunting clothes came out of the woods.

Suddenly a bird flew upward. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall bushes. Safe, Ben thought. The hunter didn't move for a moment. Then he began to follow the bird. “No hunting!” Ben shouted, “No hunting on my property!” The man called back, “where can I hunt?”

Ben had just finished putting on his clothes when he heard another gunshot. He walked toward the lake. Fight was the last thing he wanted, but the man must go. Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly towards the sound. He saw a colored head... the head of a beautiful bird. The bird flapped its wings, one of which was broken completely.

Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. It fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms. Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wing so that it could fly again. He was almost through the woods when he heard the hunter behind him. “You just find that bird? the hunter asked, stepping closer and said, “Give me that bird!”

“You get off my hand,” Ben told him. The man’s face got red, “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.” Ben looked into the hunter’s gray eyes, his voice raised, “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place and I am telling you to leave!” “Now look, mister,” the hunter insisted, “be reasonable.” He raised his gun. A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He felt a chill go down his spine (脊背). He could still give the bird to the hunter and return home safe.
