What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in California.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of a famous person. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna's wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses; Albert Einstein doesn't have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them! I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room's guest is eating cabbage soup! The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL (美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he'd faced on a football field：sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he'd played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn't make sense — why would you leave an awesome NFL career？” he says.
But Brown wasn't going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn't feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me；it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn't know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today — watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farm that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014, the first harvest was ready. Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get that food doesn't just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.

As the most popular individual sport in America, jogging has enjoyed great popularity among people. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed — a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot, ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. In cold weather, several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve week program designed to move from a fifteen minute walk to a thirty minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.

B．It is a popular trend.
C．It looks much more fashionable.
D．It's easier to adjust flexibly.

30．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Jogging needs no special equipment but long time practice.
B．For beginning joggers, tennis or gym shoes are better choices.
C．Jogging can do good to the heart, lungs and help reduce heart disease.
D．A pair of good running shoes with a full heel cup is designed to prevent shock.

There's more evidence that what's good for your heart is good for your head.A new study shows that people who run，swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look，on average,10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
“Our study showed that for older people，getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective，helping them keep their brains work better，” said Dr. Clinton Wright of the University of Miami，who led the study.But it's not necessarily easy.Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don't count，and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss，Wright's team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low intensity group.These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study.They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks.Five years later，they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI. Seven years after that，they took the memory and thinking tests again.The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests.These included running，climbing，swimming，riding bicycles and so on.
“We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher scores and slower decline than inactive people when comparing the results，” the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer's disease but may delay it.The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising，eating healthier food and brain training can promote people's memory function.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于适度运动的研究，研究表明中等强度的运动可以使大脑保持年轻，延缓阿尔茨海默病的出现。
32．What's true about the study
A．Most people surveyed took low intensity exercise.
B．Only 900 people took part in the bigger study.
C．High intensity exercise is better.
D．Ten people scored best on the tests.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low intensity group.可知，对近900名经常锻炼的人的研究表明，90%的人属于低强度组。
33．How did the study team come to the conclusion
A．By observing people exercise.
B．By using examples.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By doing a brain MRI.
解析：选C 推理判断题。第一段表明这项研究将适度运动的人和不运动的人作对比，第三段中的The 10 percent who said ... better on the tests.表明，研究对比了90%低强度运动的人和其余10%的人，因此这项研究是通过作对比来得出结论的。
34．What do we know from the last paragraph
A．Exercise will definitely strengthen people's memory.
B．Alzheimer's disease may be held back by moderate intensity exercise.
C．Exercise can put off the beginning of memory decline.
D．The findings fit in with the study of healthy food.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，很多研究表明运动可能不会阻止阿尔茨海默病的发生，但可以延缓它出现的时间。
35．What's the best title for this passage
A．How to Keep Healthy
B．Ways to Make Your Brain Work Better
C．To Exercise or not
D．Moderate Intensity Exercise Keeps Your Brain Younger.
解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文内容可知，文章介绍了一项关于适度运动的研究，研究表明中等强度的运动可以使大脑保持年轻，故D项最适合作文章标题。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it.So what exactly do you know about anger？ 36 Some people express anger openly in a calm，reasonable way.Others burst with anger，and scream and yell.
But other people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases some hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc. 37 So is there any solution？ 38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is，they say，“ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humour in the situation that has made you angry. 40
A．Thus，the person feels excited and ready to act.
B．Humour can help you deal with anger better and bring you laughter.
C．Do not express your anger while angry.
D．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
E．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
F．Anger may cause you a cancer.
G．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.

38．选E 根据前一句话So is there any solution？可以推断空处应该回答解决办法是什么，故E项符合语境。
39．选C 根据空后一句话Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.可以推断出空处是告诉人们生气时不要发火，故C项符合语境。

Is cycling in cities really bad for your health Probably yes. The main danger comes from the air around you. 58 (breathe) in air pollution from taxis and buses can damage blood vessels (血管). Scientists say the damage could outweigh the health benefits of cycling.
David Newby, a 59 (Britain) researcher at Edinburgh University broke the news. In his tests, 15 healthy men 60 (cycle) on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those 61 (find) on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein (蛋白质) 62 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals (蹬车), 63 more air they breathe in. So those who 64 (believe) they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for 65 (they)．

At the age of six，I began to learn swimming from my parents，who are good at it.Now I often go swimming with my friends in my spare time.Besides，I go to sports school every weekend，where I have learned many swimming skills.Swimming does good to my health，and I have made many friends as well.
My favourite swimmer is Ye Shiwen，who won two gold medals at 2012 London Olympic Games at the age of 16. I hope I can swim as well as her and have the opportunity to take part in the Olympic Games in the future.

Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL (美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he'd faced on a football field：sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he'd played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn't make sense — why would you leave an awesome NFL career？” he says.
But Brown wasn't going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn't feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me；it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn't know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today — watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farm that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014, the first harvest was ready. Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get that food doesn't just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.
24．What did most people think of Brown's decision to retire from the NFL
A．They weren't satisfied with it.
B．They couldn't understand it.
C．They worried about it.
D．They disapproved of it.
25．What does the underlined word “radical” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Easy. B．Slow.
C．Great. D．Careful.
26．How did Brown learn to grow food
A．From books.
B．From the Internet.
C．By practicing on a local farm.
D．By attending beginner training classes.
27．Which of the following can best describe Brown
A．Brave and generous.
B．Proud and determined.
C．Ambitious and sensitive.
D．Considerate and optimistic.
C
As the most popular individual sport in America, jogging has enjoyed great popularity among people. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. Running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed — a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot, ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.
No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. In cold weather, several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve week program designed to move from a fifteen minute walk to a thirty minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.
28．What's the main idea of this passage
A．It introduces jogging as a useful and practical sport.
B．It describes the type of clothing needed for jogging.
C．It distinguishes between jogging and other sport events.
D．It provides scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging.
29．Why is wearing several layers of clothing in winter better recommended
A．It can keep warmer.
B．It is a popular trend.
C．It looks much more fashionable.
D．It's easier to adjust flexibly.
30．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Jogging needs no special equipment but long time practice.
B．For beginning joggers, tennis or gym shoes are better choices.
C．Jogging can do good to the heart, lungs and help reduce heart disease.
D．A pair of good running shoes with a full heel cup is designed to prevent shock.
31．What's the author's attitude towards jogging
A．Skeptical. B．Supportive
C．Neutral. D．Objective.
D
There's more evidence that what's good for your heart is good for your head.A new study shows that people who run，swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look，on average,10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
“Our study showed that for older people，getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective，helping them keep their brains work better，” said Dr. Clinton Wright of the University of Miami，who led the study.But it's not necessarily easy.Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don't count，and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss，Wright's team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low intensity group.These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study.They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks.Five years later，they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI. Seven years after that，they took the memory and thinking tests again.The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests.These included running，climbing，swimming，riding bicycles and so on.
“We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher scores and slower decline than inactive people when comparing the results，” the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer's disease but may delay it.The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising，eating healthier food and brain training can promote people's memory function.
32．What's true about the study
A．Most people surveyed took low intensity exercise.
B．Only 900 people took part in the bigger study.
C．High intensity exercise is better.
D．Ten people scored best on the tests.
33．How did the study team come to the conclusion
A．By observing people exercise.
B．By using examples.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By doing a brain MRI.
34．What do we know from the last paragraph
A．Exercise will definitely strengthen people's memory.
B．Alzheimer's disease may be held back by moderate intensity exercise.
C．Exercise can put off the beginning of memory decline.
D．The findings fit in with the study of healthy food.
35．What's the best title for this passage
A．How to Keep Healthy
B．Ways to Make Your Brain Work Better
C．To Exercise or not
D．Moderate Intensity Exercise Keeps Your Brain Younger.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it.So what exactly do you know about anger？ 36 Some people express anger openly in a calm，reasonable way.Others burst with anger，and scream and yell.
But other people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases some hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc. 37 So is there any solution？ 38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is，they say，“ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humour in the situation that has made you angry. 40
A．Thus，the person feels excited and ready to act.
B．Humour can help you deal with anger better and bring you laughter.
C．Do not express your anger while angry.
D．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
E．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
F．Anger may cause you a cancer.
G．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
