Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs” It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, and of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing the music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
4. Which of the following is necessary for playing the game
A A piano. B. A chair. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone.
5. If ten people are playing the game, you must begin with ________.
A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair
6. The chairs should be put ________.
A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line
7. When the music starts, the players must ________.
A. run about the room B. get down
C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs
C
Every Monday through Friday, you may be running between work, appointments and family events— can’t the workout wait until the weekend Maybe, according to a new report published in the journal JAMA, which found that people who exercised throughout the week and “weekend warriors”, who packed their exercise into the weekend, saw a similar reduction in the risk of heart diseases.
The paper relied on data from the UK Biobank, a large biomedical database that follows residents in the long term. “A group of more than 100,000 people used accelerometers (加速度计) to track their movement over the course of a week,” the study said. Researchers then assessed the relationship between exercise patterns and events of the heart.
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate- intensity (中等强度) physical activity per week, according to The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. “If you are able to achieve those guideline- recommended levels over one to two days of the week, then our findings show you’ re getting a similar benefit as people who exercise every day,” said lead study author Dr Shaan Khurshid, instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
“However, participants only wore the accelerometers for a week, which might not track their most regular activity patterns,” said Dr Andrew Freeman from National Jewish Health in Denver, who was not part of the research.
Freeman often recommends his patients aim to exercise every day, encouraging them to engage in 30- minute exercise that’s hard enough to make them breathless. Still, there are patients who tell Freeman that they can only get a day or two of activity during the week but have more time on the weekend. Now the recent study gives him more confidence in helping them make that work.
“This is at least inspiring enough for me to say to some patients, ‘Hey, there’s recent data that says if you can’t get your 30 minutes every day, getting 150 minutes over a weekend might be helpful,’” said Freeman.
8. Why did the participants wear accelerometers in the study
A. To remind them of their work. B. To warn them of accidents.
C. To track their physical activity. D. To record their emotional changes.
9. How many minutes of moderate- intensity exercise are recommended for adults in a week
A. At least 30 minutes. B. At least 60 minutes.
C. At least 90 minutes. D. At least 150 minutes.
10. Why does Freeman consider the study helpful
A. It gives him a way to guide his patients. B. It encourages him to work out at weekends.
C. It provides an effective tool for his future study. D. It allows him more time for relaxation.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Tool for Heart Health Research
B The Impact of Daily Exercise on Heart Health
C. Physical Activity Prevents Heart Diseases in Adults
D. Weekend- only Workouts Also Benefit Your Heart Health
D
According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times.
According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers.
The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park.
So where are they living in NYC Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches.
Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park.
As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher!
12. What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats
A. They are native to NYC.
B They were first discovered in Central Park.
C. They often change habitats throughout their lives.
D. They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
13. What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Sleeping. B. Hiding. C. Living. D. Visiting.
14. What can be known about urban coyotes
A. They are unfamiliar with NYC. B. They can wander up to 10 miles in a day.
C. They prefer to live in populated urban areas. D. They have a limited diet consisting of only plants.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The varied diet of urban coyotes. B. Safety tips on living with coyotes.
C. Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC. D. The arrival and settlement of coyotes.

Artists are masters of drawing attention. They usually have a plan for how your vision should move across the artwork. Taking note of what you notice first is a useful way to begin your experience.

47. 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。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Four days later when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

Every Monday through Friday, you may be running between work, appointments and family events— can’t the workout wait until the weekend Maybe, according to a new report published in the journal JAMA, which found that people who exercised throughout the week and “weekend warriors”, who packed their exercise into the weekend, saw a similar reduction in the risk of heart diseases.
The paper relied on data from the UK Biobank, a large biomedical database that follows residents in the long term. “A group of more than 100,000 people used accelerometers (加速度计) to track their movement over the course of a week,” the study said. Researchers then assessed the relationship between exercise patterns and events of the heart.
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate- intensity (中等强度) physical activity per week, according to The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. “If you are able to achieve those guideline- recommended levels over one to two days of the week, then our findings show you’ re getting a similar benefit as people who exercise every day,” said lead study author Dr Shaan Khurshid, instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
“However, participants only wore the accelerometers for a week, which might not track their most regular activity patterns,” said Dr Andrew Freeman from National Jewish Health in Denver, who was not part of the research.
Freeman often recommends his patients aim to exercise every day, encouraging them to engage in 30- minute exercise that’s hard enough to make them breathless. Still, there are patients who tell Freeman that they can only get a day or two of activity during the week but have more time on the weekend. Now the recent study gives him more confidence in helping them make that work.
“This is at least inspiring enough for me to say to some patients, ‘Hey, there’s recent data that says if you can’t get your 30 minutes every day, getting 150 minutes over a weekend might be helpful,’” said Freeman.
8. Why did the participants wear accelerometers in the study
A. To remind them of their work. B. To warn them of accidents.
C. To track their physical activity. D. To record their emotional changes.
9. How many minutes of moderate- intensity exercise are recommended for adults in a week
A. At least 30 minutes. B. At least 60 minutes.
C. At least 90 minutes. D. At least 150 minutes.
10. Why does Freeman consider the study helpful
A. It gives him a way to guide his patients. B. It encourages him to work out at weekends.
C. It provides an effective tool for his future study. D. It allows him more time for relaxation.

According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times.
According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers.
The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park.
So where are they living in NYC Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches.
Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park.
As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher!
12. What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats
A. They are native to NYC.
B. They were first discovered in Central Park.
C. They often change habitats throughout their lives.
D. They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
13. What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Sleeping. B. Hiding. C. Living. D. Visiting.
14. What can be known about urban coyotes
A. They are unfamiliar with NYC. B. They can wander up to 10 miles in a day.
C. They prefer to live in populated urban areas. D. They have a limited diet consisting of only plants.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The varied diet of urban coyotes. B. Safety tips on living with coyotes.
C. Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC. D. The arrival and settlement of coyotes.

I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意：

【答案】参考范文
Para 1
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Para 2
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs” It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, and of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing the music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
4. Which of the following is necessary for playing the game
A A piano. B. A chair. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone.
5. If ten people are playing the game, you must begin with ________.
A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair
6. The chairs should be put ________.
A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line
7. When the music starts, the players must ________.
A. run about the room B. get down
C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs

I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs” It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instruments, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, and of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing the music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he/she drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
4. Which of the following is necessary for playing the game
A. A piano. B. A chair. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone.
5. If ten people are playing the game, you must begin with ________.
A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair
6 The chairs should be put ________.
A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line
7. When the music starts, the players must ________.
A. run about the room B. get down
C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C

Every Monday through Friday, you may be running between work, appointments and family events— can’t the workout wait until the weekend Maybe, according to a new report published in the journal JAMA, which found that people who exercised throughout the week and “weekend warriors”, who packed their exercise into the weekend, saw a similar reduction in the risk of heart diseases.
The paper relied on data from the UK Biobank, a large biomedical database that follows residents in the long term. “A group of more than 100,000 people used accelerometers (加速度计) to track their movement over the course of a week,” the study said. Researchers then assessed the relationship between exercise patterns and events of the heart.
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate- intensity (中等强度) physical activity per week, according to The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. “If you are able to achieve those guideline- recommended levels over one to two days of the week, then our findings show you’ re getting a similar benefit as people who exercise every day,” said lead study author Dr Shaan Khurshid, instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
“However, participants only wore the accelerometers for a week, which might not track their most regular activity patterns,” said Dr Andrew Freeman from National Jewish Health in Denver, who was not part of the research.
Freeman often recommends his patients aim to exercise every day, encouraging them to engage in 30- minute exercise that’s hard enough to make them breathless. Still, there are patients who tell Freeman that they can only get a day or two of activity during the week but have more time on the weekend. Now the recent study gives him more confidence in helping them make that work.
“This is at least inspiring enough for me to say to some patients, ‘Hey, there’s recent data that says if you can’t get your 30 minutes every day, getting 150 minutes over a weekend might be helpful,’” said Freeman.
8. Why did the participants wear accelerometers in the study
A. To remind them of their work. B. To warn them of accidents.
C. To track their physical activity. D. To record their emotional changes.
9. How many minutes of moderate- intensity exercise are recommended for adults in a week
A. At least 30 minutes. B. At least 60 minutes.
C. At least 90 minutes. D. At least 150 minutes.
10. Why does Freeman consider the study helpful
A. It gives him a way to guide his patients. B. It encourages him to work out at weekends.
C. It provides an effective tool for his future study. D. It allows him more time for relaxation.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Tool for Heart Health Research
B. The Impact of Daily Exercise on Heart Health
C. Physical Activity Prevents Heart Diseases in Adults
D. Weekend- only Workouts Also Benefit Your Heart Health

According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times.
According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers.
The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park.
So where are they living in NYC Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches.
Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park.
As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher!
12. What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats
A. They are native to NYC.
B. They were first discovered in Central Park.
C. They often change habitats throughout their lives.
D. They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest.
13. What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Sleeping. B. Hiding. C. Living. D. Visiting.
14. What can be known about urban coyotes
A. They are unfamiliar with NYC. B. They can wander up to 10 miles in a day.
C. They prefer to live in populated urban areas. D. They have a limited diet consisting of only plants.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The varied diet of urban coyotes. B. Safety tips on living with coyotes.
C. Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC. D. The arrival and settlement of coyotes.

I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference.

【答案】参考范文
Para 1
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Para 2
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport.
