21、   Scientists have long known a fairly reliable way to extend life span in rodents(啮齿类动物) and other lab animals: Reduce the amount of calories they eat by 10 percent to 40 percent.

This strategy known as caloric restriction, has been shown to increase the life span of various organisms and reduce their rate of cancer and other age-related ailments. Whether it can do the same in people has been an open question. But an intriguing new study suggests that in young and middle-aged adults, chronically(慢性地) restricting calorie intake can have an impact on their health.

In the new study, researchers looked at a group of 143 healthy men and women who were instructed to practice caloric restriction for two years, with the aim of cutting the calories they consumed by 25 percent.

On average, the dieters managed to slash about 12 percent of their total calories, or roughly 300 calories a day, the amount in a few chocolate chip cookies or a small Starbucks Mocha. But the group saw many of their health markers improve.

They lost weight and body fat. Their blood pressure fell slightly, and they had better blood sugar control and less inflammation. At the same time, a control group of 75 healthy people who did not practice caloric restriction saw no improvements in any of these markers. Some of the benefits in the calorie restricted group stemmed from the fact that they lost a large amount of weight. However, the results of the survey suggest that caloric restriction might have some unique biological effects on disease pathways in the body.

Calorie restriction may be a useful tool for better health and weight loss, but it’s unclear whether the changes in the new study will ultimately translate into longevity and reductions in chronic disease, said Frank Hu, the chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard, who was not involved in the research.

【1】What happened to the lab animals, after the amount of calories was reduced?

A.More lab animals got cancers.

B.More Lab animals can live longer.

C.Health condition of lab animals got worse.

D.Lab animals will suffer from no disease in their future life.

【2】From the study, after caloric restriction, what happened to the 143 people?

A.Their healthy markers improved.

B.They did not get chronic diseases.

C.They did not get lose any weight at all.

D.They did not eat chocolate chip cookies.

【3】Which work has the similar meaning to the underline word, slash?

A.Reduce. B.Increase.

C.Add. D.Beat.

【4】From Frank Hu’s words, what can be inferred?

A.Calorie restriction is beneficial to weight loss.

B.People with caloric restriction will love longer than others.

C.More people should be encouraged to take caloric restriction in life.

D.The relation between caloric restriction and longer lifespan is uncertain.

22、   After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith paralyzed, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school. The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer. Yet eight years later, Collin earned a bachelor of arts degree. He achieved the nearly impossible--with the help of a kind and generous man five decades his senior.

Emest Greene and his wife attended the same church as Collin and his parents did. The Creenes had moved to the area just nine months earlier. But when Emest heard about Collin' s accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for him, he approached Collin's parents with the idea that he looked after the boy while they were at work. The Smiths gratefully accepted.

Emest sought training to care for Collin and then began arriving early on weekday mornings. He would help Collin get out of bed, wash, dress and have breakfast. Then he' d drive Collin to and from school. Then, while the two waited for one of Collin's parents to get home, "We played lot of Monopoly," says Emest with a laugh. At first, the age difference was a challenge but they learned to compromise. "Older folks are just older versions of you," says Collin. "Same people. great stories."

Some days were better than others. "He can't do for himself, so he can be demanding," says Emest. But he attests that Collin's strong will got him through tough times.

After graduation, Collin was accepted to nearby High Point University. Emest accompanied him to every class. On graduation day, Emest received an honorary degree in humanities.

"I was floored, "he says.

Collin wasn't surprised, however. "Emest is a godly example of the way a man should live-calm, modest," he says.

23、A new year can bring new excitement and opportunities to grow for kids, too. 【1】 New Year’s resolutions can be a beneficial way for kids to get motivated, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“【2】 ”said Dr. Lanre Falusi, a Washington, D. C., pediatrician (儿科医生) in an American Academy of Pediatrics statement. “Kids also love having something to work toward and to have fun keeping track on sticker charts or getting praise or rewards as they reach these goals.”

The idea of a goal may also be easier for younger children to grasp. Jack Frezell, 3, of Ontario, Canada, said his goal for next year is to “go on my bike by myself.” Setting goals can teach children persistence, focus and the value of planning, according to Gary Latham, Secretary of State Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of Toronto, who specializes in goal setting. “ 【3】 ” Latham said, “It teaches them control over their environment instead of being dependent on Mom and Dad.”

【4】 “It has to be concrete; it has to be within the child’s ability to attain; and there has to be a reasonable time frame,” said Latham. He noted that once kids reach age 7 or so, it’s achievable for them to set a goal and make their own plan for how to pursue and attain it. 【5】 Here’s when to show children with inspiration and give them a hand.

“Next thing you know, the overall goal has been attained, and it gives kids a sense of accomplishment, excitement and achievement,” he said.

A．Setting realistic goals is difficult for kids.

B．The big impact is that it teaches them initiative.

C．How important it is to set healthy goals with kids.

D．Goals that are both specific and achievable are key.

E．They can learn to focus on new goals just like adults.

F．If it’s not specific, some kids are likely to blame themselves.

G．Of course, guidance from parents is still helpful for kids of all ages.

24、   The brain, like any other body part, gets old. 【1】 For example, women’s brains may age more slowly than men’s. That is the finding of a U.S. study from Washington University School of Medicine.

Researchers there wanted to find out how the brain uses sugar. 【2】 They used medical equipment to look at the flow of oxygen and sugar in the brains. The researchers found that the brains of women looked nearly four years younger than those of men. 【3】

As our brains age, some mental problems may happen. However, doctors say that about half of the problems can be prevented by simple lifestyle changes.

Whether you are a man or a woman, here are some tips for you to keep your brain young and healthy.

·【4】 Experts suggest around seven hours of sleep each night.

·Get aerobic (有氧) exercise for 30~40 minutes three to four times a week. Exercise helps grow brain cells(细胞)and gets better blood flow in the brain.

·Eat a healthy diet. 【5】 One example is the diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, grains, and fish.

·Do activities that make you excited and happy.

·Spend time with family and friends.

A.The researchers do not know why.

B.However, not all brains age the same way.

C.To do that, they studied over 200 brains of men and women.

D.Sleep is the best thing you can do to keep your brain young.

E.Doctors say any diet good for the heart is also good for the brain.

F.Parts of the brain get smaller, especially those important to learning.

G.The findings suggest the brains of men and women may use sugar differently.

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。

The first time I saw Awol was on my doorstep in December 2016. He was super-cute, with black ears, a little white stripe and a soft white belly. I would give him a tickle (挠痒) behind the ear and he would rub around my legs to say hello. I had no idea where he came from.

I work shifts for a railway line and even if I got back late he would be waiting. As soon as I pulled into my street, he would follow my car, walk up the drive and roll over, wanting his belly tickled. I never fed him and had no intention of taking him in. I had never been a cat person. I always had dogs.

It was my friend who named him Awol. He wasn’t microchipped, so we gave him paper collars and put up posters, but no one got in touch.

He visited my house every day for three months. Every time I shut the door I could see him through the glass, staring up at me; he would meow for ages, trying to come in. It was heartbreaking. So, in March 2017, I decided to take him in.

I was slightly worried at first, because I had a parrot called Shitehawk that I had had for 15 years. To my surprise, they got on fine, Awol was nervous initially, wandering around sniffing everything. The next minute, he was zooming around the house.

I have a three-bedroom house and live alone, so I gave him free space to move around. He picked the spare room, but after a few weeks he began to sleep in my bed. He often purred (呼噜呼噜叫) like a motor running, pressing his feet, one after another, into my belly.

I adopted Awol around the time my grandmother, 80, who was my best friend, went into hospital.
