21、Maybe you should sit down before you read this. It’s a little frightening. Your sitting maybe killing you.

Health experts say the US adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day. That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007. The news is even worse for teens. They sit eight hours each day. The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics. It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years. It is worried about what it has found.

Research shows that people who are not active can get sick. Their bones get weaker. They burn fewer calories (卡路里). That makes them more likely to put on too much weight. They might even get diabetes (糖尿病). They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems, too.

Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness. Being active helps in lots of ways. It can make you happier, burn more calories and give you more energy. It can also help you sleep better.

About 60% of people in the US watch at least two hours of TV each day. That number has stayed about the same in recent years.

Computers are the biggest reason for more hours spent sitting. Computer use outside of work or school has gone up for all age groups. Now, 50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day. That is up from 29% in 2003.

About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on computers. So do 56% of kids. As many as 1 in 4 people who use computers use three hours or more outside of work and school.

So get up, take some breaks and go outside. You might save your life by doing outdoor activities.

【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about _________.

A．their body shape

B．their home comforts

C．their health

D．their food

【2】Being active can help people _________.

A．burn more calories

D．treat heart problems

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A．Computers are causing health problems.

B．Too much sitting is influencing our health.

C．Being more active is good for you and me.

D．Sitting means killing.

【4】Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next?

A．The cause of diabetes.

B．Some outdoor activities.

C．The examples of losing weight successfully.

D．The disadvantages of playing computer games.

22、

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “PerhapsI can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I

had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think about it before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.  A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

【1】The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ______.

A.escape in it B.get to the other side of the island

C.use it for food D.go around the island

【2】To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT ______.

A.keeping goats for milk B.making clothes from animal skins

C.working in the corn fields D.going fishing in the sea

【3】Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?

A.Because it was too small for a long journey. B.Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

C.Because there was something wrong with it. D.Because the writer was busy building a second house.

【4】What’s the right order of the following sentences?

a. I made fields with high fences to keep goats in.   b. I did make myself a smaller canoe.

c. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals d. I owned two houses.

A.cdba B.bdac C.bdca D.dbca

【5】From the story, we can learn that ______.

A.the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island

B.the writer had nothing to do on the wild island

C.the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed

23、Life in the future will be different from life today. But what will the change be?

The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【1】In the future there will be more people.

【2】Every family will have at least one robot.

【3】In the future people don't have to work long hours.

【4】People may not eat meat as much as they do today.

【5】One big problem in the future is that many people don't have to work.

24、

Many animals migrate—they move over long distances, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration:

One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains in Africa. More than one million wildebeest（牛羚）migrate in a big group. As the seasons change they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.

Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns（北极燕鸥）travel the longest distance. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their chicks in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70, 000 kilometers in a year!

Salmon（鲑鱼）live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it is time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the unique smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls.

【1】From Paragraph 1, one of the reasons why animals migrate is that ________.

A.they like living in the same place each year B.they really need much colder weather

C.they need good places to raise their young D.they don’t need food and water anymore

【2】What does the underlined word “migrate” most probably mean in Chinese?

A.离开 B.迁徙 C.冬眠 D.冒险

【3】According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE about animal migration?

A.Wildebeest migrate in a small group with the changeable seasons.

B.Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with Arctic terns.

C.Arctic terns are able to travel over 60,000 kilometers each year.

D.Salmon will go back to the rivers from the ocean to lay their eggs.

【4】What does scientists think helps salmon find their way as they migrate?

A.The unique smell of the river. B.The sound of the river.

C.The temperature of the river. D.The color of the river.

【5】In which part of a magazine would you most probably read the text?

A.Animals. B.Business. C.Movies. D.Music.
