21、With Moon as His Muse, Japanese Billionaire Signs Up for SpaceX Voyage

When Yusaku Maezawa took the stage here at one corner of the SpaceX factory floor, he explained that he did not just want to be the first private citizen to circle the moon. “I choose to go to the moon, with artists,” Mr. Maezawa said, echoing President John F. Kennedy’s speech in 1962. 【1】

While SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets have been significant technological achievements, SpaceX’s engineers have started to turn their attention toward the B.F.R., a much more ambitious vehicle that SpaceX hopes will take Mr. Maezawa to circle the moon. It is a promising project at SpaceX, and is one that would grow rapidly in the coming several years. 【2】

Although he would not discuss how much Mr. Maezawa is to pay for his trip, SpaceX’s CEO Mr. Musk made clear it would make a significant contribution to the development costs. 【3】 “I don’t think it’s more than 10, and I don’t think it’s less than two,” he said.

Mr. Maezawa said he did not like to be alone and so he would invite five to eight artists and performers to accompany him, part of a project he called Dear Moon. 【4】 “Art makes people smile, brings people together.” He said.

When asked whether a trip around the moon was the most beneficial way to spend his fortune, Mr. Maezawa said, “I want to contribute to society in a different way. Maybe 10 years from now, people will be laughing I paid so much, but somebody needs to make the first payment,” he added. “Otherwise, space development is not going to evolve. 【5】”

A.Mr. Maezawa also said that art contributed to his hope of world peace.

B.That’s why I think I should be the one to do this.

C.Mr. Maezawa’s trip to the moon was expected to last 5 days or so.

D.Mr. Maezawa’s four- to five-day moon trip would probably occur in 2023.

E.Mr. Musk estimated development costs at roughly $5 billion.

F.Only together with the financial help from all the artists, can humans realize the dream of flying to the moon.

G.He announced his intentions to travel to space with an unconventional crew during a news conference Monday evening.

22、Here’s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.

Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods --- even if you also exercise regularly --- could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

In an article published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to stress the dangers of sitting.

While health officials have recommended minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.

“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” said Ekblom-Bak. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.

Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day --- but still spend a lot of time sitting --- might get more benefit if that exercise was spread across the day, rather than in a single bout (一回).

Still, in a study published in 2015 that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised.

“We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the Canadian study. “But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary (久坐的) behavior, the better.”

Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.

【1】What is the best title for the text?

A．Not Sitting Too Much While Working.

B．How to Avoid Sitting Too Much.

C．Sitting Too Much Could Be Deadly.

D．More and More People Sit Too Much.

【2】According to the research, ________.

A．the more time you spend in exercising in a single bout, the healthier you will be

B．those who often sit too much are sure to grow fat or suffer from a heart attack

C．regular exercise is effective in getting rid of the side effects of sitting too much

D．you had better not sit for more than four hours in a single bout

【3】How does the danger of sitting too much affect the human body?

A．It results in a higher death risk.

B．It increases glucose and fat in the body.

C．It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.

D．It causes the genes to fail to balance the glucose and fat in the body.

【4】The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 9 most probably means ________.

A．improve

B．balance

C．ignore

D．achieve

【5】In the opinion of Ekblom-Bak, you’d better have a rest in the office by ________.

A．having a walk around your office

B．sending your friends e-mails

C．chatting online or playing computer games

D．listening to music with your head on the desk

23、   A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below：

Visit at Night

Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level，the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.

Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online

Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.

Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You

Before entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.

Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower

If you’re like us，after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower，you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great，but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.

【1】Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?

A．Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible.

B．Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.

C．Because you can have a special sight of the city of Pairs.

D．Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.

【2】What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Control.

B．Avoid.

C．Stand.

D．Remember.

【3】Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?

A．Because they had a quarrel with the officer.

B．Because they lost valuable objects.

C．Because they set off the metal detector.

D．Because they didn’t seize the chance.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The author recommends tourists have snacks at the Eiffel Tower.

B．You spend more if you have snacks at the Tower.

C．The author prefers to eat across the Seine.

D．The Eiffel Tower provides expensive foods and drinks.

24、From the moment we wake up each day, we’re faced with a continuous stream of choices. 【1】 This is decision fatigue (疲惫).

When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don’t have the mental capability to deal with more decisions. 【2】 And this can further cause you to avoid making certain choices entirely, to go with the wrong option or to make ones that aren’t in line with your goals or values, experts say.

Here’s how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:

【3】 When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples (主要食物), and buy the same brands each time. 【4】 And if you’re trying to exercise regularly, devote a fixed time for it every day.

【5】 If you’ve had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one, if you can. If things that wouldn’t normally disturb you start bothering you, consider that a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision.

“People may not realize that they’re experiencing decision fatigue,” Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says. “It’s something to watch out for.”

A．Make some choices automatic.

B．Start from what is important to you.

C．Why is it so hard to make up your mind?

D．Be aware of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly.

E．This can lead to decisional inability or worn-down self-control.

F．If you like having oatmeal for breakfast, stick with it on a daily basis.

G．When there are too many options, we tend to feel anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts.

25、Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season, and while waiting in line I _______ a very stressed -out Dad with his two sons waiting in line to purchase a car seat for the younger child.

The father was asking if he could buy the display model because it would be _______ than the others. The cashier _______ that he could buy the display model _______ that there was no box for it. He said that was just _______ with him.

Then he asked if there were any additional coupons (优惠券) to bring the _______ down just a little bit more. The cashier was doing her best to _______ some additional savings coupons for this young father; but wasn’t _______ much of anything in her drawer.

I used to be a people-watcher, but found that as I _______ this activity for about five minutes I was beyond moved to help — and I had no idea why, but before I could really think about it . I   ________ myself digging ________ my pockets for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons I knew I had.

But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldn’t ________ it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was ________ in the same mood as I was in wanting to help this young family; and took the money toward his ________ with a smile on her face — the seat ________ coming to around $50 instead of the original $90.

As the Dad collected his small children and began to ________, he looked at me and said, “You really shouldn’t have done that but I thank you so much — you just made certain that we will all get to eat today.”

My reply was simple. Be it ________ or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don’t know; and that would ________ me tenfold（十倍地）.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.

What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.

Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk”, he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”

In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
