21、After watching the amazing Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, chances are that you have fallen in love with some winter sports and you’re already making sure your equipment is ready for them.【1】. However, there’s another element to get ready. Your body! Even if you exercise regularly, skiing, or skating challenges your muscles in ways other activities don’t.

Exercising in the cold decreases your body temperature, so our metabolism (新陈代谢) increases to warm you up.【2】. Depending on the sport, certain muscles may also be used more frequently compared to activities in other seasons. The good news is that most winter sports involve heart endurance (耐力), muscle strength and muscle endurance.【3】

There are still some other things to think about.【4】. However, it can be hard on the body when you hit the slopes. As anyone who has spent time skiing or snowboarding can prove, after a long day on the slopes, the body becomes extremely tired.【5】. To avoid this, you need to take some time to strengthen your body and improve endurance. Before the winter season, a regular exercise program should include exercises that get the blood running while challenging the entire body, such as stair climbing or running. The intensity should vary from 20-45 minutes at least 3 to 5 days a week. As winter nears, adding a cardio (有氧的) workout longer in duration but lower in intensity can help increase endurance.

A．Winter sports provide a total body workout.

B．It is a wise idea to learn from experienced people.

C．And that is when injuries are more likely to occur.

D．And all of them can be trained before the winter season.

E．Probably, you have got your skis tuned and skates sharpened.

F．You’d better know the weather before you do the winter sports.

G．Your heart and lungs also need to work harder to warm the air into your body.

22、When the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least, that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay when the sun was shining.

Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay while the sun shines.

And sometimes we use this expression to mean we beat someone to the punch, or we got ahead of someone else. And other times you make hay while the sun shines to make good use of the chance to do something while it lasts. You are being opportunistic – taking advantage of a good opportunity. For example, my friend Ozzy was sick for a week and could not go to work. So, his co-worker Sarah -- who doesn’t like him -- took advantage of his illness and stole his project! Talk about making hay while the sun shines.

Sometimes when you make hay while the sun shines you are staying ahead of a problem – like in this example:

Hey, do you want to go hiking with me and my friends this weekend? The weather is going to be beautiful! I wish I could. But I have to finish my taxes. It’s the last weekend before they’re due.

Oh, that’s too bad.

Wait. What about your taxes?

My taxes are done. I was off from work a couple of weeks ago and made hay while the sun shined. I got all of it done!

I wish I would have taken advantage of my time off last week__All I did was lay around the house.

And that’s all the time we have for these Words and Their Stories. But join us again next week. You can listen while you’re making dinner or riding to work. Yeah, make hay while the sun shines.

【1】Which of the following best matches ―make hay while the sun shines in paragraph 2?

A．Sow nothing, reap nothing.

B．Sharp tools make good work.

C．Strike while the iron is hot.

D．One swallow doesn’t make a summer.

【2】According to the underlined sentence, what feeling does the speaker express?

A．Admirable

B．Regretful

C．Annoyed

D．Indifferent

【3】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A．A radio program

B．A magazine

C．A brochure

D．A novel

23、Tiny transmitters(发射机) fixed on the backs of the blue-green bees have allowed scientists to follow the insects as they fly for miles in search of rare flowers．

Working in Panama，scientists caught 17 bees of the common species and fixed a 300 milligram radio light onto the back of each．The signals they sent out were used to follow their movements in and around the forest where they lived．

Professor Martin，from Princeton University，US，and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany，said，“By following the radio signals，we discovered that male bees spent most of their time in small centre areas，but could take off and visit areas farther away．One male even crossed over the shipping lanes in the Panama Canal，flying at least 5km，and returned a few days later．”

Researchers have struggled to follow the movements of bees before，following bees marked with paint or using radar which doesn’t work well in forests．

“Carrying the transmitter could reduce the distance that the bees travel，but even if the flight distances we record are the shortest distances that these bees can fly，they are impressive，long-distance movements，” said Dr．Roland Kays，from New York State Museum，a co-author of the research published today in the on-line journal．“This result helps to explain how these bees’ pollination(授粉) can be so rare．” Pollination by bees and other insects is the key to the diversity and continued growth of flowers and trees in some forests．

The new study is the first to use radio transmitters to follow bees in a forest．Similar research may now be carried in temperate forests，where bees also play a vital role．

【1】The main purpose of the passage is to___

A． call on people to protect the bees for the environment

B． explain why the bees fly far away in search of flowers

C． introduce a modern way to follow the bees to readers

D． encourage the public to support the scientists' research

【2】What was the problem when researchers tried to follow the bees in the past?

A． It was quite difficult to mark the bees

B． The radar itself didn't work very well

C． The bees weren't easy to be recognized

D． Environmental limits were hard to solve

【3】What Dr．Roland Kays said implied that____

A． he didn't expect bees could fly so long a distance

B． The transmitter didn't have any effects on bees at all

C． He wanted to know how far bees could travel badly

D． The record was in fact as exact as he had thought

【4】Researchers follow the movements of bees mainly to___

A． learn how far they can fly at most

B． discover how they affect the plants

C． correct some wrong ideas about bees

D． get to know where they enjoy living

24、In 2002, Huang Hui, a researcher of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, went diving near Xisha. In addition to getting an irremovable suntan (晒黑), she was left with memories of a beautiful experience with clear water and abundant colorful corals (珊瑚). However, much of the breathtaking scenery of this reef has disappeared due to climate change and human activities. All of these factors led to the decline of the coral reef in the near shore waters. “We started to cultivate corals near the Xisha Islands in 2010, and restored more than 200,000 square meters of coral reefs,” Huang said.

In 2004, when Huang was attending the 10th International Coral Reef Symposium, she found herself the only representative from the Chinese mainland. She said she felt sad but she made up her mind to strengthen communication with other countries to improve China’s level and status in coral research. She visited top coral research institutes in the US and Australia, establishing long-term cooperation with some of the world’s top coral researchers. By far, Huang has worked on coral research and protection for 22 years. Now, China is in a leading position in terms of technology and coral planting scale.

Huang believes that people’s consciousness of coral protection matters most to the sustainable development of the coral reefs. “I want to call on more people to love nature and look at the ocean in awe,” Huang said.

Partly due to her efforts, Hainan Province released a law in 2017 banning reef exploitation (开发), trading and damaging.

Huang works as a consultant for customs and frontier police on coral protection and promotes coral protection in her local schools. Huang also provides online free training for divers to teach them proper behavior in the sea to protect coral reefs.

“A group of ‘folk scientists’ have also been trained with the hope that more people can gain awareness of the significance of coral reef protection and know how to protect them,” said Huang.

“I am 50, and when I become 60, I hope that not only a coral island will be built but a sustainable development pattern will also be created,” said Huang. “The ideal state is that the coral island should be able to support fishermen and preserve the ecosystem,” she added.

【1】What impressed Huang most when going diving near Xisha in 2002?

A．A permanent sunburn on her skin.

B．A large quantity of colorful corals.

C．A sweet memory of her childhood.

D．The sudden disappearance of corals.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on?

A．China’s advances in coral protection.

B．Huang’s devotion to coral protection.

C．Huang’s concern over coral protection.

D．People’s ignorance of coral protection.

【3】What is the key to protecting corals according to Huang Hui?

A．Introduction of advanced technology.

B．Tough laws banning reef exploitation.

C．Public awareness of coral protection.

D．Communication with foreign countries.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Corals in South China Sea are in danger.

B．Scientist plants corals to save ecosystem.

C．China is taking the lead in planting corals.

D．Measures are to be taken to protect corals.
