Phil White has just returned from an 18, 000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised 70, 000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l, 300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l, 000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
24. When Phil White returned from his trip, he ________.
A. broke the world record B. collected money for Oxfam
C. destroyed several bikes D. travelled about 1, 300 hours
25. What does the underlined word “epic” in Paragraph I most probably mean
A. Very long and difficult. B. Very slow but exciting.
C. Very smooth but tiring. D. Very lonely and confusing.
26. During his journey around the world, Phil White ________.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia D. had a team of people who travelled with him
27. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White
A. Imaginative. B. Honest. C. Easygoing. D. Determined.

We carry smartphones everywhere, taking them to bed and to the bathroom. And for many people, their smartphone is the first thing they see in the morning. More than 90 percent of the world's population own a smartphone and many couldn't manage without one.
But most health concerns about phones usually focus on traffic accidents they can cause while driving, the possible harm of radio wave or just what terrible effects they can have on your work or study. The risk of virus infection (病毒感染) from your phone is much less of a concern—but it's very real.
A 2019 study found that most people in the U. K. use their phones on the toilet and three in four Americans use their phones while on the toilet. So it's not surprising that our mobile phones have been found to be dirtier than toilet seats.
It's been believed that people touch their phone hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day. And while many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, cooking, cleaning or gardening, we are much less likely to consider washing our hands after touching our phones. Hands pick up bacteria and viruses all the time and are recognized as a track of acquiring infection. So are the phones we touch. They can be infected with many different kinds of disease-producing bacteria. These bacteria can cause skin, organ and breathing infections that can be life-threatening.
Indeed, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting mobile phones, which, along with door handles, cash machines and lift buttons, are considered sources of infection. Even if you clean your phone with antibacterial tissues(抗菌纸巾) or alcohol, these viruses can survive for several days on hard plastic surfaces, indicating that virus killing must be a regular process.
Use alcohol-based liquid. They need to contain at least 70 percent alcohol to kill viruses on phone covers and touch screens, and do it every day if possible. Do keep liquids away from connection points or other phone openings. And get in the habit of putting your phone away after you have cleaning it, then washing your hands.
28. Which of harms from the smartphone attracts the least attention of the users
A. It makes its user lose interest in anything else.
B. The viruses on it can make its user sick.
C. Accidents will happen if a driver uses it when driving.
D. The radio wave does harm to its user.
29. According to the text, what do touching cellphones and gardening have in common
A. Both make your hands dirty. B. Both needn't have a good plan.
C. Both offer you a good experience. D. Both do good to your health.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. It's necessary for us to clean cellphones regularly. B. The right ways to clean our cellphones.
C. Never forget to wash hands after touching phones. D. We should take care with phone washing.
31. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A news report. C. A life story. D . A health article.
D
As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen(氧气) as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don't exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band(橡皮筋) . In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That's what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven't been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group took part in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw obvious improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump(泵送)a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn't change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven't already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility, ” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all. ”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine's findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
32. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band
A. The right way of exercising. B. The results of a heart ill.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart.
33. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
A. Diet plan. B. Professional background.
C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition.
34. What does Levine's research find
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
35. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Doing further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.

The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn't much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe's stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy's silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I'm going to town tomorrow, ” she said.
“You are going to town ” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That's a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town Can't you make it another day when the snow stops ”
“It's a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow! ” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you ” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don't worry, honey! I'll be all right, ” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.

Yours,

It was late in the evening when she got home. The whole family was waiting for her with anxiety. It was still snowing hard outside. Seeing the white frost on his stepmother's face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently. Dinner was ready and Abe's brothers and sisters went to lay the table. But Mrs. Lincoln was not in a hurry. She carefully took out a package from her bag and started to unwrap it. With a gentle smile, she handed the package to Abe. “This is for you, ” she said, her eyes filled with warmth and affection.
Abe's eyes became very wide. He fixed his eyes on the package and watched eagerly. As Mrs. Lincoln tore the package open, a book suddenly came into sight. It was a collection of adventure stories. He had never owned a book of his own before. His heart was filled with gratitude and joy. He looked up at his stepmother, a smile spreading across his face. “Thank you. ” he whispered. That night, as the snow continued to fall outside, Abe read under the flickering light of a candle, and for the first time in a long while, he felt truly happy.

22. B 根据 The Tower of London 的介绍内容 the Tower of London is the symbol of British Royalty 可知,伦敦塔是英国皇室的象征;根据 Westminster Abbey 的介绍内容 there are also lots of memorials of Kings and Queens to enjoy. (还有很多国王和王后的纪念馆可以欣赏);根据 Buckingham Palace 的介绍内容 is the official London living place of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ. 可知,这是伊丽莎白女王二世在伦敦的正式居住地;根据 Hyde Park的介绍内容 As the largest of London's Royal Parks, Hyde Park has been open to the public since 1637. 可知,作为伦敦最大的皇家公园,海德公园自1637年开始向公众开放。所以这四个景点都与皇家有关。故选B。

For l, 000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him.” 可知:在旅途中,他经历的最糟糕的事情就是在穿过澳大利亚南部的时候, 骑自行车逆风行驶了1, 000公里;另外,本段中 “In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had.” 只是讲述了他在伊朗被武装抢劫者追赶并侥幸逃跑的经历,这里并没有描述他英勇地抗击强盗的过程;所以A不正确。故选 C 。
27. D 通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了 Phil White 为了给英国的慈善机构乐施会筹集善款,以及为了破世界纪录,成为全世界骑自行车最快的人,他经历了299天,1300多个小时骑自行车完成了18000英里的行程,在没有任何人以及物资的帮助下,独自一人历经各种艰险,最终完成旅程。由此可知:他做事非常的坚持不懈,并且有决心。故选D。

M: Our listener's question this week comes from Kenny Bailey who has been listening to our program since 2006. And he wants us to give some advice on budget hotels on Mexico's Pacific coast. We'll focus on the top 3 today.
The first one on our list is Hotel Posada Freeman. This 12-storey hotel sits just across the street from Olas Altas Beach. It has bright, comfortable rooms with ocean views, a top-floor bar and an outdoor pool on the 11th floor. A single room costs only about $15 a night.
Then there is Casa Roxana Bungalows. It's the perfect choice for an adventurer, as the hotel is located in an area that is known for its jungle tours. The hotel is simply furnished but perfectly clean, with double beds, air conditioning and reliable Wi-Fi. Each room costs$20 a night.
And last but not least, Hotel Posada La Mision. This family-friendly place overlooks the east end of Playa Madera. What makes it special is its ancient red wood windows. And you can enjoy abundant ocean views for $30 a night, at the very most.
