B
My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university. He mentioned “Pinocchio” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late to his courses. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive (攻击性的), but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.
Business companies always need my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like small matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.
4. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his professor
A. To describe his professor’s success.
B. To explain why he chose his career.
C. To show his professor’s study of the “Pinocchio” effect.
D. To introduce what impressed him most during his career.
5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The body language can tell you the real story behind words.
B. It takes a plenty of time to study the body language.
C. Crossed arms can be regarded as an impolite way.
D. Facial expressions play an important part in the body language.
6. Why do people react in an unnatural way when knowing the author’s profession
A. They dislike his services.
B. They think he is too proud.
C. They consider him unreliable.
D. They believe he is studying them.
7. What can we learn about the author from the text
A. He thinks little of minor gestures.
B. He travels the world giving advice.
C He is happy with his work.
D. He is good at pretending.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对于自己的影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university. He mentioned “Pinocchio” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late to his courses. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert.(我对肢体语言的兴趣始于我大学时的一位教授。一个寒冷的早晨，他跟我提起“皮诺曹”，他说我在为迟到找借口时总是揉鼻子。事实上，当一个人说谎时，他的血液会涌向鼻子，而多余的血液会让鼻子发痒。这个非语言交流的小例子激励我成为一名肢体语言专家)”可知，作者大学时的一位老师从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣，由此推知，作者提到这位老师是为了解释他从事这项工作的原因。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive (攻击性), but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.(我花了很多时间研究人体传递信息的方式，它们提供的信息比我们说的话更可靠。语言说的是一回事，但身体说的可能完全不同。我们知道双臂交叉可以被视为防御或攻击，但面部表情、姿势和手势呢？所有这些都说明了很多，只有当你知道如何理解这些符号时才能理解)”可知，本段讲述了肢体语言可以告诉你语言背后的真实想法。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading.(每当我遇到一个新朋友，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高警惕，不再放松。他们真的会冻结，试图隐藏他们认为我在读的所有信号)”可推知，刚刚接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然是因为他们觉得作者会研究他们。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction.(我的工作生活给了我很大的满足感)”及“It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.(这有时会让生活变得困难，但我认为这是我为一份我非常喜欢的工作付出的小小代价)”可推知，作者喜欢自己的工作并能从中获得满足感。故选C。
C
Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator(赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates(转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
8. Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage
A. Sending information for weather forecasts.
B. Taking photographs of the Earth.
C. Sending TV pictures to the Earth.
D. Providing food for airplane pilots.
9. What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at
A. 35,880 kilometers per hour.
B. 335,880 kilometers per hour.
C. 11000 kilometers per hour.
D. 110,000 kilometers per hour.
10. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to
A. A satellite moves around the Earth forever.
B. A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company.
C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
11. Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE
A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away.
C. A broken satellite is never left in space.
D. Broken satellites always crash into each other.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了卫星的工作原理和用途及使用时限。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving.(例如，天气预报的信息是由卫星发送的。有些卫星装有照相机，可以拍摄地球的照片，以显示云是如何移动的)”及第二段“Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite.(我们的许多电视节目是通过卫星播送的)”及第三段“We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.(我们用卫星把电视图片从世界的一个地方传送到另一个地方)”可知，文章提到了卫星可以用来发送天气预报信息、拍摄地球照片、发送电视图片到地球，没有提到为飞行员提供食物。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates(转动).(这是因为它以每小时11000公里的速度绕地球运行——与地球自转的速度完全相同)”可知，地球以每小时11000公里的速度自转。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前文“Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.(有时我们可以在天空中看到一颗卫星，它似乎停留在同一个地方)”可知，This指代前文提到的一颗卫星似乎停留在天空的同一个地方。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.(一颗卫星通常工作10-12年)”可知，一颗卫星的工作时间大约在10-12年。故选A。
D
Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking (减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.
12. What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year
A. It's freezing. B. It's hardening.
C. It's melting. D. It's expanding.
13. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska
A. Their young are dying. B. Their diet is changing.
C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.
14. What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay
A They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses.
C. They don't need stronger protection. D. They can't find enough good males.
15. In which publication would you most likely find this passage
A. Medical News. B. Society Today.
C. Wildlife Journal D. Design Magazine.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了气候变化对于北极熊的生存及繁殖带来的不利影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring”可知，由于气候变化，北极的冰在春天的早些时候融化。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. （远离阿拉斯加的北极熊通常在漂浮在海洋上的冰原上捕食和养育它们的幼仔。但随着冰的融化，北极熊不得不在陆地上待更长的时间。在那里，它们开始频繁地出现在海滩上，以当地猎人捕捉到的鲸鱼残骸为食。）”可知，北极熊正常情况下吃在冰面上可以捕捉到的海豹，但现在由于冰的减少，它们只能以当地猎人捕捉的鲸的残余物为食了。所以北极熊的饮食发生了改变。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. （在过去的25年里，母熊的平均体重下降了68公斤。这种损失影响了它们的繁殖能力，生育数量已经下降了15%。）”可知，因为北极熊的出生率已经下降了15%，所以作者提到雌性北极熊是想告诉我们，雌性北极熊现在生育的孩子越来越少。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全篇，并结合第一段“ This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.（这给居住在阿拉斯加北部和哈德逊湾的北极熊带来了麻烦。）”可以发现文章叙述的是全球气候的变化给北极熊带来的负面影响,而北极熊属于野生动物,所以推断这篇文章最有可能摘自《野生动物杂志》。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
___16___ I say this a lot because it’s important: you need to walk more. There are a few main reasons why I’m so fond of walking, also known as moving frequently at a slow pace.
___17___
Walking might not be as effective as other forms of exercise, but frequent walking will help anyone with two functioning legs that allow movement who would otherwise meld into the couch lose some body fat.
It’s good for your brain.
Walking does much more than work the area underneath your neck. The farther an older person can walk in six minutes, the better he or she performs on memory and logic tests. Folks who perform poorly on the walking test tend to have reduced grey matter volume in certain sections of their brains.
It reduces stress.
___18___ Go for a walk, preferably in a natural setting. For me, it’s the beach of the Malibu hills. For others, it might be the woods or even a park.
It prevents falls in the elderly.
Walking on uneven, natural ground like hiking trails，improves balance and reduces falls in the elderly. ___19___ The earlier you start habitually walking, the better your ability to navigate the land without falling will be.
It gives you a chance to think.
When we walk, we think. And because walking is a low-difficulty effort, we can direct our executive functioning to more internal matters. We work through problems, come up with ideas, replay conversations, scheme, and discover solutions. ___20___
A. It modestly reduces body fat.
B. It lowers blood pressure, especially after meals.
C. Don’t wait until you’re already at risk of falling, though.
D. What do I do when I need to get away from a particularly stressful day
E. Try to keep the walk as close to the meal as possible to aid in weight loss.
F. Even though some of you may be tired of me saying this, it needs saying.
G. Or maybe we just think about that funny dog we saw on the way to work the other day.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. G

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了在青少年期间改变坏习惯的方法。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在此期间，他们中的一些人很容易形成坏习惯。be+adj+for sb. to do sth.为固定句型，意思为：对于某人来说做某事是……的。故填to form。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意：这些坏习惯，如果放任不管，当他们长大成人，可能会导致更严重的问题。if引导条件状语从句，主语为bad habits，与leave构成被动关系，因此，用一般现在时的被动语态，从句完整结构为if these bad habits are left unchecked，从句和主句主语一致，可省略从句的主语和be动词。故填left。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：改变我们依赖的坏习惯从来都不是一件容易的事，即使有很多尝试。which引导限制性定语从句，空处缺少介词，rely on意思为：依靠，先行词habits作rely on的宾语。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。many后搭配可数名词复数attempts。故填attempts。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：好消息是，如果我们知道习惯是如何起作用的，我们就可以改变坏习惯。know后面为宾语从句，从句缺少方式状语，表示“如何”用连接副词how引导从句。故填how。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：为了促进坏习惯的积极改变，我们必须首先检查我们的坏习惯循环，然后尝试调整它们。change在此处为可数名词，表示泛指，positive以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们可以通过将我们的习惯周期信息与我们自己的积极想法相结合来做到这一点。by为介词，空处用动名词作宾语。故填combining。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：事实上，最成功的改变方式不是突然，而是经过一段时间。空处为句子谓语，句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语为way，为单数，be动词用is。故填is。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：一个人必须反复地采取许多小步骤来达到改变的目标。空处修饰动词take，用副词作状语。故填repeatedly。
【45题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：年轻人将下定决心建立一个快乐和健康的生活！make up one’s mind意思为：决心做某事，为固定短语。故填up。

On Saturday night, my best friend called and invited me to her birthday the next day. I was very excited to go there, but I needed permission from my parents.
I went to my dad’s room and softly said, “Dad, tomorrow is my best friend’s birthday and I really want to go.” Papa said, “OK. I don’t mind, but ask your mom.”
I asked my mom and she said, “OK. You can go, but you have to be back before 10.”
The next morning my mom was surprised to see me. No alarm. No Mom’s warning. I just woke up by myself. Finally, the whole day had passed and it was party time. My dad dropped me off at my friend’s place and told me that he would pick me up at 10. I said “OK” and ran away.
I enjoyed myself a lot at the party. We had dinner and played so many games. It was 10 finally. I remembered my mom telling me that I should be back before 10. I came out and started searching for my dad, but I could not find him. I was so worried and scared. I waited and waited, and then I started walking. I thought at least I could walk home as my house was 20 minutes away from my friend’s. As I was walking, I was crying as I had never walked alone on the road that late at night.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting something. I was scared and started walking fast. I thought some criminal(不法分子) was there. As I was walking fast, I heard someone walking fast behind me. I started running and crying, and then I saw some parked cars. I hid behind the cars. I saw a shadow searching for me. I hoped someone would help me. After a while, I could not see the shadow, so I came out slowly and ran towards my home.

Paragraph 2:
Hearing what my dad said, my mom couldn’t help laughing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, I arrived home, and I began crying when I saw my mom. “Mom, I was scared to death on the way home just now, and a bad man followed me all the time. Fortunately, I hid behind the car, and he didn't find me, so he left.” I said incoherently. After hearing this, my mother also showed a frightened expression on her face. She said, “Fortunately, you’re safe. But where’s your father Isn’t he picking you up ” I showed an aggrieved expression and said, “I waited for him outside for a while, but he didn't turn up. I thought it was time to go home, so I came back first. ” At this time, my father hurried in, and he said to his mother,“I didn't get our daughter. When I went to pick her up, I didn’t see her. Her friend said she had gone home. I chased out, and it seemed that I saw her on the road, but she disappeared in a moment.”
Hearing what my dad said, my mom couldn’t help laughing. Mother said cunningly, “Look, who’s that ” Then she winked at me. My father turned to look at me, and then showed a relieved and surprised expression. He asked me, “Didn’t you hear me when I called you What were you running for ” I smiled awkwardly, glanced at my mother, and then said, “Well..., I was very afraid, thinking you were a bad person, so I hid.” Dad laughed after listening, and encouraged me that I did well and know how to protect myself. But my father also said at least I should look around. In fact, sometimes things are not as bad as I think. After that, I realized that excessive fear will affect our judgment and thinking, so no matter what happens, we should be calm.

My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university. He mentioned “Pinocchio” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late to his courses. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive (攻击性的), but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.
Business companies always need my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like small matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.
4. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his professor
A. To describe his professor’s success.
B. To explain why he chose his career.
C. To show his professor’s study of the “Pinocchio” effect.
D To introduce what impressed him most during his career.
5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The body language can tell you the real story behind words.
B. It takes a plenty of time to study the body language.
C. Crossed arms can be regarded as an impolite way.
D. Facial expressions play an important part in the body language.
6. Why do people react in an unnatural way when knowing the author’s profession
A. They dislike his services.
B. They think he is too proud.
C. They consider him unreliable.
D. They believe he is studying them.
7. What can we learn about the author from the text
A. He thinks little of minor gestures.
B. He travels the world giving advice.
C. He is happy with his work.
D. He is good at pretending.
C
Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator(赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates(转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
8. Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage
A. Sending information for weather forecasts.
B. Taking photographs of the Earth.
C. Sending TV pictures to the Earth.
D. Providing food for airplane pilots.
9. What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at
A. 35,880 kilometers per hour.
B. 335,880 kilometers per hour.
C. 11,000 kilometers per hour.
D. 110,000 kilometers per hour.
10. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to
A. A satellite moves around the Earth forever.
B. A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company.
C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
11. Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE
A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away.
C. A broken satellite is never left in space.
D Broken satellites always crash into each other.
D
Due to climate changes, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking (减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.
12 What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year
A. It's freezing. B. It's hardening.
C. It's melting. D. It's expanding.
13. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska
A. Their young are dying. B. Their diet is changing.
C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.
14. What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay
A. They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses.
C. They don't need stronger protection. D. They can't find enough good males.
15. In which publication would you most likely find this passage
A. Medical News. B. Society Today.
C. Wildlife Journal D. Design Magazine.
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
___16___ I say this a lot because it’s important: you need to walk more. There are a few main reasons why I’m so fond of walking, also known as moving frequently at a slow pace.
___17___
Walking might not be as effective as other forms of exercise, but frequent walking will help anyone with two functioning legs that allow movement who would otherwise meld into the couch lose some body fat.
It’s good for your brain.
Walking does much more than work the area underneath your neck. The farther an older person can walk in six minutes, the better he or she performs on memory and logic tests. Folks who perform poorly on the walking test tend to have reduced grey matter volume in certain sections of their brains.
It reduces stress.
___18___ Go for a walk, preferably in a natural setting. For me, it’s the beach of the Malibu hills. For others, it might be the woods or even a park.
It prevents falls in the elderly.
Walking on uneven, natural ground like hiking trails，improves balance and reduces falls in the elderly. ___19___ The earlier you start habitually walking, the better your ability to navigate the land without falling will be.
It gives you a chance to think.
When we walk, we think. And because walking is a low-difficulty effort, we can direct our executive functioning to more internal matters. We work through problems, come up with ideas, replay conversations, scheme, and discover solutions. ___20___
A. It modestly reduces body fat.
B. It lowers blood pressure, especially after meals.
C. Don’t wait until you’re already at risk of falling, though.
D. What do I do when I need to get away from a particularly stressful day
E. Try to keep the walk as close to the meal as possible to aid in weight loss.
F. Even though some of you may be tired of me saying this, it needs saying.
G. Or maybe we just think about that funny dog we saw on the way to work the other day.
