28、 Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.
But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They’re discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.
When that news started coming out, doctors began adding sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But as an expert in heart disease, I don’t think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top. I believe that getting enough sleep – at least seven to eight hours per night for most people –is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.
Sure, I’d prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I’d pick sleep because when you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you’re exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.
【1】What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?
A.They should be reconsidered.
B.They help improve people’s health.
C.They are not as helpful as expected.
D.They are the best ways found so far.
【2】How did the doctors react to the news on sleep?
A.They just ignored it.
B.They discussed it publicly.
C.They thought it made sense.
D.They totally changed their mind.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.
B.Why different factors need to work together.
C.What prevents people from living healthily.
D.Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.
29、 Google is getting further into the business of saving lives. Today, it announced that users of its Android phones in New Zealand and Greece will receive warnings of earthquakes about to strike their locations. And those earthquakes will be detected(探测) not by the usual seismometers(地震仪),but by the phones themselves.
Earthquakes are a well-known threat in both countries, but neither has an operational warning system. That created an opportunity to make a difference, says Marc, the project's lead engineer.
Traditional warning systems use seismometers to detect an earthquake's size, then send a warning, by smartphone or loudspeakers, to residents. These systems are powerful but they are expensive to develop. An earthquake warning system that can do without this expense and depend on smartphones has great potential (潜力)globally, says Meier, who studies earthquake warning systems. “If you can do it with just the phones, that's a shortcut.”
Android phones have been publicly detecting earthquakes since last year. It can remove false(假的)alarms like the shaking caused by the sound of thunderstorms. So far, Android phones have detected more than 1000 quakes worldwide. And the alerts have performed well in terms of speed when compared with Shake Alert and Japan's warning system, Allen says. The phones also detected a quake that originated just north of Samos, a Greek island close to Turkey, in late October 2020. “We could really show that, if we had alerting in place, we would have provided alerts in Greece,” Allen says.
【1】The underlined word “shortcut” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________。”
A.a way that is shorter than the usual one
B.a path that is direct towards the destination
C.a quicker way than usual to achieve something
D.a means of ordering a computer to perform a function
【2】What's the disadvantage of traditional warning systems?
A.They are costly.
B.They are 'powerless.
C.They have little potential.
D.They feel the quake slowly.
【3】What's Allen's attitude to detecting quakes by the phones?
A.Negative.
B.Positive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uncaring.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.The Project Provides Alerts In Greece
B.Phone Warning Systems Are Powerful
C.Earthquakes Are A Well-known Threat
D.Google Uses Phones To Detect Earthquakes

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。
When I think of the word perfect, I think of something only a few can achieve, like high beauty standards, the super-smart girl in my class, or anything that I can compare myself to. For a few weeks now, I have been noticing this one girl who is in a few of my middle school classes. She has wonderful long dark brown hair, big hazel eyes, and the most beautiful face. She always wears the prettiest clothes and seems to be the most popular girl in school, at least in my point of view. It seems like she has a perfect life, lots of friends, all A’s, and everything anyone could ever want.
One day, I was in language arts talking to my teacher about one of the upcoming tests, when I saw the girl staring at me in a strange way. I immediately started 1o think, “Why is she looking at me? Did I do something wrong? Is my hair messed up?” When the class was over, she came up to me and said, “I just thought you should know, I think you are really pretty.” I replied, “Thank you!” I then watched her as she walked away and though, “She thinks I am pretty?”
注意:1. 续写词数应为80左右。
