21、   How is it that the United States spends the most money on healthcare, and yet still has the one of the lowest life expectancies（预期寿命）of all developed nations? To find it out, researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health looked at the great influence of healthy habits on life expectancy, using data on a huge number of people over a very long period of time.

What is a healthy lifestyle, exactly?

1. Healthy diet, which was calculated and rated based on the reported intake of healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy fats, and omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Healthy physical activity level, which was measured as at least 30 minutes per day of activity

3. Healthy body weight defined as a normal body mass index（BMI）（身体质量指数）which is between 18.5 and 24.9.

4. Smoking, well, there is no healthy amount of smoking. "Healthy" here meant never having smoked.

Does a healthy lifestyle make a difference?

Absolutely yes. According to this analysis, people who had all the four habits enjoyed impressively longer lives than those who had none: 14 years for women and 12 years for men（if they had these habits at age 50）. Just one healthy habit（and it didn't matter which one）...just one... increased life expectancy by two years in men and women. Not surprisingly, the more healthy habits people had, the longer their life.

So what's our（big）problem?

As the researchers point out, in the US we tend to spend more on developing fancy drugs and other treatments for diseases, rather than on trying to prevent them. This is a big problem.

Experts have suggested that the best way to help people make healthy diet and lifestyle change is through public health efforts and policy changes.

【1】How did researchers study the influence of healthy habits on life expectancy?

A.By analysing data.

B.By raising questions.

C.By exchanging information

D.By comparing developed countries.

【2】Which person might have a healthy lifestyle according to the passage?

A.A translator who exercises 2 hours a week.

B.A librarian who smokes, but not heavily.

C.A steward who drinks wine every day.

D.A shop assistant whose BMI is 19.5.

【3】What is the big problem in the US according to the researchers?

A.Changing laws related to lifestyle.

B.Reducing money on treating patients.

C.Staying focused on drug development.

D.Spending much on disease prevention.

22、When you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves, do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably don’t think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.

But the chief executive of London’s Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.

It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (1606–1669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBC.

The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.

Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that [ability] through our smartphones.”

The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year. As Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine: “the cult (热潮)of the selfie celebrates regular people”.

【1】What does the underlined word “features” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A. informs   B. shows

C. sells   D. misses

【2】Nigel Hurst’s attitude to the smartphone selfie is_______.

A. casual   B. mixed

C. favorable   D. negative

【3】Who shares opinions with Nigel Hurst?

A. Kim Kardashian   B. Barack Obama

C. David Cameron   D. Pamela Rutledge

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Selfies as Self-portraits   B. Age of Smartphones

C. Age of Selfie Artists   D. Selfies of Celebrities

23、Dogs and humans have been living side-by-side for about 15,000 years, but there are tons of facts about dogs that perhaps we have never heard of.

Night vision

Dogs have good night vision. Their large pupils let more light in and the rods (视杆细胞) work better in poor light. But the biggest factor is the tapetum (反光组织), which reflect light at the back of the eye. Besides, dogs’ whiskers (胡须) also help them “see” in the dark because they pick up on very small changes in air, providing dogs with information about the size, shape, and speed of things nearby.

Secret tail code

Dogs can use their tails to communicate. They wag their tails to the right when they are relaxed or happy, and to the left when nervous or threatened. When they’ re aggressive, the tails will stick straight-up in the air. A broad wag is friendly while a slow wag is neutral, neither excited nor anxious.

Dreams

We often see a dog’s body making sudden movements in its sleep. Dogs have the same brain wave patterns as humans’ while they are asleep, so they dream just like we do.

Super nose

Dogs can find their way home despite long distances. Their noses are a vital part of their incredible sense of direction. The part of a dog’s brain that controls smell is 40 times larger than humans’. They’re able to follow smells for miles. Furthermore, dogs have an amazing ability to recognize the smells given off by the abnormal cells in human bodies, including cancer. This is something scientists are eager to explore further. And interesting, a dog’s “fingerprint” is on its nose. The patterns on dogs’ noses are so distinct that they can actually be used to identify the animals.

A sixth sense

Dogs act strangely before something bad, like a storm or earthquake, happens, for they are sensitive to low frequencies that humans can’t sense. So don’t let their strange behavior go unnoticed next time. It could save your life.

【1】Which of the following indirectly helps dogs see well in the dark?

A. Their rods.   B. Their tapetum.

C. Their whiskers.   D. Their pupils.

【2】If a dog holds up the tail, it indicates ________.

A. happiness   B. attack

C. friendliness   D. relaxation

【3】What hasn’t been discovered about a dog?

A. Why it can sense natural disasters.   B. Why it has an acute sense of smell.

C. What emotions it shows with its tail.   D. How it can smell humans’ illnesses.

【4】In what way are dogs like humans?

A. They dream when they sleep.   B. They have good night vision.

C. They have distinct nose patterns.   D. They can react to low frequencies.

24、Even if you live a green lifestyle at home, it’s possible to ignore (忽视) the impact (影响) your travels could have on the environment. 【1】 Here are some steps you can take to reduce (减少) the possible harm that comes from traveling around the world.

Choose your means of transportation. If you can reach a destination by train, consider taking one. 【2】 Avoiding flying completely is often not a choice for travelers, but the idea is to reduce unnecessary flights when possible. Use local public transport where possible and travel on foot or by bike to explore smaller areas.

Find eco-friendly accommodation. 【3】 If you are going to the mountains or into the countryside, look for an eco-friendly place to stay. Even during city travel you can find environmentally friendly hotels.

Know your environment. Remember every country has challenges to deal with. For some it is plastic (塑料的) bags, for others the amount of energy (能源) used on air conditioning or heating. 【4】 Use water wisely for example when you are in dry countries.

【5】 Don’t forget your good habits just because you are on holiday. Clean up after yourself and don’t litter. Remember to bring a couple of food containers to pack a lunch and avoid any unnecessary packaging.

A．Eat locally grown foods.

B．Get your home holiday-ready.

C．But the influences traveling has on the environment are great.

D．Make sure you know them and act responsibly.

E．Be as green as you are at home.

F．Where you choose to sleep at night plays a key role in being a green traveler.

G．It’s a great way to see a destination and has a less environmental impact than flying.

26、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。

A dog shelter housed many dogs looking for homes, including a little dog called Koolaid, who liked to drink Kool-Aid. The shelter keeper loved Koolaid but he was sad that no one wanted to take him home.

There was a family who had a blind boy named Billy. His parents loved him. However, he had no friends of his own age to play with. If there were any kids of his age, they would not play with him because he was blind.

One day Billy’s family arrived at the shelter to see if a little friendly dog would help make Billy happier since he did not have friends. They walked through the shelter and looked at a lot of dogs. Then Billy stopped in front of Koolaid’s cage and just stood there, saying “Mom, I want this dog. Please? He wants me to take him home, He told me so.”

Everyone was surprised. Billy’s mom and dad looked at Billy, and then at Koolaid, who was just sitting there quietly, not making a sound. They wondered how Billy knew there was even a dog in the cage and how the dog told that he wanted to be taken home. “Mom, he just told me. He told me that no one liked him and that he liked me. Mom, he knows that I can’t see.” Billy insisted, unwilling to move away.

Billy’s mom looked worried and then told Billy that the dog Koolaid had one blue eye and one brown eye. She asked in disbelief, “Are you sure you want this dog?” “Yes, Mom. He told me that he was blind in his blue eye and he said he loved to play with me,” answered Billy.
