21、Fresh pomegranates at a market.

The seeds of this round, red fruit are known for their antioxidants (抗氧化剂). On the outside, they may look a bit like red delicious apples —but once you cut them open, you can tell pomegranates are quite different. Unlike apples, the tastiest part of pomegranates is actually their seeds. Just cut off the crown, cut the pomegranate into pieces like an apple, and pop out the seeds for a sweet snack.

Tiny as these kernels (果粒) are, pomegranate seeds, which are full of antioxidants, have been found to have a number of health benefits.

Let’s take a closer look at the health benefits of pomegranates:

Pomegranates improve your immune system. Moore recommends drinking pomegranate juice. ‘The antioxidant activity of pomegranate juice can be as much as three times higher than that of green tea and red wine,’ she explained. Antioxidants are important to keep the cells in our bodies healthy and able to fight off viruses, keeping down inflammation (炎症) and preventing organ damage. Besides, pomegranates lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol(胆固醇)and may prevent cancer.

With dozens of studies proving the positive health effects of pomegranates, it’s easily seen that this fruit is more than just a snack. Next time you see one at the market, give it a try – add the fruit to your breakfast.

【1】Which is the suitable description of pomegranates?

A.They are a kind of red apples.

23、“I wish I didn’t have to go to school, Grandpa." complained Alex, throwing his bag on the ground and sitting m the bench beside him. "It's such a waste of time. I’d much prefer to be out working. I could be earning money already If started working now at a restaurant like Big Chicken, I’d be earing good wages as well as good tips and I’d be able to travel and see the world like you did!"

Grandpa smiled across at Alex and looked at him a moment. “It reminds me of a story I once heard-an old tale from China.”

"Long ago in China, there was a kite. Although it rose higher than all the other kites, it longed to go higher. It saw the clouds and the birds way above and hated not being able to go up there. In fact it scolded the string for holding it back. The string was not happy with this situation and thought it was unfair."

"One day, the wind was particularly strong. The kite went up rapidly as the string was let out quickly. “Aw, not again, string!" yelled the kite to the string. 'Stop holding me back! Let me go higher this time! Let go of me!" The string let go and dropped towards the earth, no longer pulled up by the kite. Without the tension of the string holding it, the kite dropped quite quickly down. The kite was badly injured. Do you see the lesson in this for your situation?"

”YES! Thanks Grandpa! I understand now." exclaimed Alex. "What the story is actually saying is that sometimes you need constraint in order to reach your potential. Sometimes it's the things you think are holding you back that are actually mostly responsible for your growth. The string is to finish school and the kite is my future potential being realized. And the wind is my education lifting me higher and higher."

Grandpa smiled back. "Exactly, Alex. Well done. I am proud of you, young man.

24、Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California in the US and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.

Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli (西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task was really quite challenging,” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家) at the University of California. “We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.”

Researchers also scanned some of the brains of the participants during the experiment. They found that the brains of those who exercised strengthened their ability to remember things. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.

As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the effects of light exercise on older people. “Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements, but can still take very simple exercise and be able to, perhaps, put off the reduction of cognitive (认知的) skills slowly,” said Yassa.

【1】What is the function of Paragraph 1?

A．To correct a mistake.

B．To introduce two universities.

C．To give practical advice.

D．To present a research result.

【2】Why was the memory task quite challenging according to Yassa?

A．The people in the experiment were disabled.

B．The items to be chosen were extremely similar.

C．The time to solve the questions was too limited.

D．The questions to be asked were too complicated.

【3】What is the underlined word “prescription” probably similar to?

A．Ability.

B．Benefit.

C．Method.

D．Detail.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Exercise Can Improve Older People’s Cognitive Abilities

B．Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Improve Memory

C．Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Young and Old

D．Advantages of Exercising Regularly

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事

The summer holidays were approaching and Liza wanted to do something special. She persuaded her parents to send her to Clown School So excited was Liza that she hurried to a table at the front after marching into the classroom.

Mr. Davis, the teacher, announced in a deep serious voice. “Learning to be a clown is not all fun,” he said. “expect you all to work very hard and study a lot of clown tricks.” “Oh, dear,” thought Liza nervously. “This isn’t what I expected. I’m here to have fun.”

In the first lesson, Liza put on her “red nose” but it stayed on for about two seconds before popping off. It shot forward and hit Mr. Davis in the eye. When the class had to try walking in clown shoes, it was difficult to balance and a lot of them wobbled(摇摆不稳). But only one tripped and hit the teacher. “Sorry!” said Liza. “Not funny at all,” said Mr. Davis angrily. In the following classes, she fell off the tiny bike for many times while the others could get the hang of it. “Sorry!” she cried when she ran over the teacher’s foot for the tenth time. “That is not even a tiny bit funny!” burst out Mr. Davis.

During one class break, Liza sat on a bench in the park alone. “I’m not good at clown tricks,” she thought depressingly. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice a sneaky(鬼鬼祟祟的) man running with a heavy bag over his shoulder. The man didn't see Liza's enormous clown shoes and tripped. Liza jumped up to help the man. However, she stepped onto the banana skin from her lunch. She was speeding right towards a woman carrying some banana cream pies. Liza fell forward onto the man who just got up from the pavement and this time he landed head-first in the cream pies. The man got up and quickly seized his bag. He tried eagerly to run away, but the ground was too slippery now, with so much cream all over it. He lost his balance again.
