If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
8. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
9. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
10. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C. To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking.(研究发现，保持健康的人更有可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维)”可知，健康的人可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.(当他们进行为期三个月的健身计划时，他们的记忆力有所改善)”可知，从实验中可以得知，锻炼有助于人们提高记忆力。故选C项。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power.(科学家已经发现，这项运动不仅能让人保持健康，还能提高你的脑力)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力，作者写作的目的是告诉你，运动可以提高你的脑力。故选A项。

Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”, if you will.
People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph
A. To stress the negative influence of travel.
B. To describe the importance of cultural travel.
C. To recommend a totally different type of travel.
D. To convey his unique feelings about cultural travel.
13. According to the author, today's travelers tend to_________.
A. establish close connections with the locals during the travel
B. choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration
C. show more interest in the history of a travel destination
D. post the photos taken in the journey on the social media
14. What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel
A. It is focused on studying local people's lifestyle.
B. Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.
C. It is a specific way to make judgments of other cultures.
D. Its major concern is preserving local traditions and customs.
15. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel brochure. B. A blog post.
C A historic magazine. D. An encyclopedia website.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种全新的旅行方式——沉浸式文化旅行，它可以帮助你更好地旅行，让你远离老路，与当地人交流，并带你“超越传统的遗愿清单”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world.”（旅行让我们体验世界。但当我们旅行时，我们也会在每一个我们去过的地方留下我们的足迹。这就是沉浸式文化旅行如此重要的原因。因为不正确的旅行方式会对世界产生负面影响。）可知，沉浸式文化旅行不同于对世界产生负面影响的不正确的旅行方式，所以作者写一段是推荐一个不同于以往的旅游方式。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach.”（在今天这个时代，很多时候，“旅行者”去一个国家，只是为了拍下一些著名景点的照片，并发布到Instagram上，或者通宵喝酒，甚至只是为了在热带海滩上放松一下。）可知，在作者看来，当今的很多旅行者只是倾向于打卡拍照和发布到网上。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes”（这意味着你要对新体验持开放态度，愿意换位思考。）可推知，它要求旅行者心胸开阔、善解人意。A项“关注研究当地人的生活方式”，D项“它主要关注的是保存当地的传统和习俗。”答案都太片面化，只能说明其中的一方面。C项与原文实意不符。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”, if you will.”（我们开设这个博客的原因之一，是为了帮助其他人更好地旅行，让他们远离老路，与当地人交流，并带你“超越传统的遗愿清单”，如果你愿意的话。）可知，这篇文本来自于一篇博客文章。故选B项。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you told me that you were planning a trip to China. I’m writing to give you some advice.
When it comes to tourist attractions, I definitely recommend that you pay a visit to Beijing. Beijing, the capital of China, is a place famous for its numerous varieties of cultural relics and historical sites. You may as well visit the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and other places of interest, through which you’ll know more about Chinese history and culture. The transport in Beijing is quite convenient, public transport such as bus and the subway being preferable choices. What will equally appeal to you in Beijing is the wide range of local dishes, of which the Beijing roast duck enjoys the greatest popularity. As for accommodation, you are expected to book hotels in advance.
I hope my suggestions could be helpful and wish you an exciting and rewarding trip.
Yours,

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous (紧张的) the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 a.m. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金黄色的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my mew friends feel the same way too.

If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
8. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
9. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
10. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C. To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.
D
Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”, if you will.
People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph
A. To stress the negative influence of travel.
B. To describe the importance of cultural travel.
C. To recommend a totally different type of travel.
D. To convey his unique feelings about cultural travel.
13. According to the author, today's travelers tend to_________.
A. establish close connections with the locals during the travel
B. choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration
C. show more interest in the history of a travel destination
D. post the photos taken in the journey on the social media
14. What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel
A. It is focused on studying local people's lifestyle.
B. Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.
C. It is a specific way to make judgments of other cultures.
D. Its major concern is preserving local traditions and customs.
15. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel brochure. B. A blog post.
C A historic magazine. D. An encyclopedia website.

Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question.___20___So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.
