Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
24. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
25. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
26 What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
27. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
C
Most cities were built on rivers. People originally settled in Paris because of the Seine, and in London for the Thames. A third of New York City’s surface area is water. For centuries, city folk used rivers for shipping, wastes, fishing and play.
The Industrial Revolution ruined rivers for more than a century. Huge new urban populations overwhelmed them with the pollution from wastes, factories and ships.
In recent decades, rivers lost their industrial function and cities began cleaning them up. The Thames is now the cleanest it has been in 150 years and proud of seals and the occasional whale, sometimes alive. In cities from Chicago to provincial China, dirty riverside warehouses have been turned into restaurants and apartments.
But rivers also need to regain their original purpose as transport centers. Cities are shifting more traffic back to the river — but this time cleanly and silently, using the coming generation of electric ferries. Ferries already transport 2.1 billion passengers a year. Numbers have been rising in San Francisco, New York and Sydney, while London plans to double its annual total of riders to 20 million by 2035.
Imagine using the huge capacity of shipping to take delivery trucks off the roads. One of the newer Thames boat with a capacity of 1,750 tons can replace 44 large trucks. Even without being electric-powered, it uses much less energy per ton and causes less noise pollution.
In other words, we need to turn truck drivers into boat captains. Delivery companies will need to build
new distribution centres on cheap riverside land. When their boats stop at the new downtown wharves(码头), electric cargo(货物) bikes will deliver packages the last mile.
Boat-to-bike is more complicated than delivery by truck, because it adds a stage. You might have to pay more to get your parcels the same day. As for the advantage, it will unblock city centres. Rivers are the reason our cities are where they are. We just forgot about them.
28.Why is the Thames mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To praise the efforts of the government.
B.To explain the current healthy ecosystem.
C.To stress the importance of the Industrial Revolution.
D.To show the return of some rivers’ original conditions.
29.What’s the advantage of boat-to-bike delivery
A.It cleans up the rivers.
B.It speeds up the delivery.
C.It is likely to reduce the cost.
D.It eases the pressure of traffic.
30.Which is the following may the author agree with
A.Boat-to-bike delivery is too complex to make.
B.Rivers should serve as the transport center like before.
C.London has doubled its number of electric-bike riders.
D.The cleanups of the river put an end to its industrial function.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. 31 As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things; they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses,
cellphones or other small items. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.
32 For example, medication side effects, vitamin B12 shortage, alcoholism, tumors(肿瘤)or infections in the brain can cause memory loss. A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.
Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance, someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 33
The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 34 Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.
If you’re concerned that you or someone you know has a serious memory problem, talk with your doctor. 35 Health care professionals can recommend ways to manage the problem or make suggestions on treatment or services that might help you out.
A.Consider participating in clinical trials or studies.
B.It’s advisable to have health issues treated in time.
C.He or she can diagnose the problem or refer you to a specialist.
D.But if they last for a long time, it is necessary to get help from a doctor.
E.Some memory problems are related to health issues that may be treatable.
F.As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain.
G.Trying to deal with these life changes leaves some people confused or forgetful.

Dear Leslie,
How are you I’m writing to tell you about your next Chinese lesson.
We’ll still meet at my school, but not on Saturday as usual, since I’ll have to participate in a sporting activity that day. So let’s make it three o’clock on Sunday afternoon.
As you know, in order to acquire a good knowledge of Chinese, you should learn more about Chinese culture and history. Therefore, this time I will introduce Tang Poetry to you, which is of great help in learning Chinese. I advise you to learn about the brief history of the Tang dynasty in advance. It will surely help you in learning the poems.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
