AModern people are paying more attention to exercise and manycelebrities are leading the trend, while in ancient China there were also many fitness lovers.Lu You: choshoAs a noted productive poet, Lu You from the Song Dynasty wrote more than 20,000 poems in his lifetime. According to historical records, he lived to 85 years old, the longest living poet in the Song Dynasty.However, Lu You was weak as a child. During his later years, Lu You started the body building called chosho. Chosho was quite popular in ancient times, which was not roaring or whistling, but an elegant, serious and skillful health method. People opened their body, breathed in deep and then breathed out with a long and loud cry in rhyme.Su Dongpo: long run, five kilometers per dayThe great Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo, or Su Shi preferred to take long runs, and he thought that only by moving your body regularly could you have a strong body.He would slow down when he breathed hard, and speed up when his breath balanced. Su Dongpo would run until he was sweaty, hot, blood circulating and limbs feeling refreshed.Huyan Zan: cold bathThere was an annual festival in November during the early Tang Dynasty (618-907) called “Pouring cold”, where a group of strong men, nearly bare, sang and danced in the street while crowds poured cold water on them. The festival, a sacrifice to god, was thought to be helpful to body building.During the Song Dynasty, Huyan Zan recovered the tradition by removing the singing and dancing parts and keeping the pouring cold water part, as a way to exercise his kids’ physical bodies.21.

Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet.But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.”He must have thought I was joking.Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all loveroast beef and vegetables.I’ll never forget my first v isit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.24. What can we learn from this passage?A. I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child.B. Because of my Mum, Dad loves all kinds of Chinese food.C. We all like roast beef and vegetables except Mum.D. I have fallen in love with the stinky tofu now.25. What kind of person did the butcher probably think the author was?A. Generous.B. Mean.C. Humorous.D. Serious.26.

Different eating habits in China and Britain.D. The eating experiences of a mixed-race family.CThe development of a V-shaped fuel-efficient airplane design known as the Flying-V will be funded by Dutch national carrier KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.To improve the sustainability (持续性) of air travel, the Flying-Vwas developed by researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, also known as TU Delft.Its futuristic design puts the passenger cabin into the wings. It’s said the plane will use 20% less fuel than the Airbus A350-9－while carrying a similar number of passengers.“In recent years, KLM has developed as a pioneer in sustainability within its airline industry,” said Pieter Elbers, CEO and president of KLM. “We are proud of our progressive relationship with TU Delft”.“Air travel is contributing about 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions (排放物), and the industry is still growing, so we really need to look at more sustainable airplanes,” said TU Delft project leader Roelof Vos.“We cannot electrify planes, as electrifi ed airplanes become way too heavy and you can’t fly people across the Atlantic on electric airplanes—not now, not in 30 years,” Vos said. “So we have to come up with new technologies that reduce fuel burning in a different way.”“We’ve been flying traditi onal airplanes for decades now, but it seems like they are reaching the limit in terms of energy efficiency,” he said. “The new design actively contribute s to the lift of the airplane, and creates less air drag.”The plane’s increased fuel efficiency is la rgely a result of its design, Vos explained.The researchers hope to fly a model this September, Vos said, while the new cabin design will be open to the public at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in October. The completed plane is expected to enter service between 2040 and 2050.28. What can we infer from the text?A. Flying-V was developed by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.B. Researchers at TU Delft have raised enough money.C. 20% of the passengers will sit in Flying-V’s wings.D. KLM plays an important role in sustainability.29. Why sustainable planes are needed?A. To save electricity.B. To reduce global CO₂ emissions.C. To make air travel moreD. To develop air industry.affordable.30. How does the Flying-V save energy?A. It’s the V-shaped design that makes a big difference.B. The idea of electrified airplanes is applied to itsdevelopment.C. It depends on a kind of more efficient fuel.D. Its futuristic design leads to a limited number of passengers.31. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To instruct us the importance of environment protection.B. To inspire us to explore the unknown area of technology.C. To inform us of the fuel-efficient Flying-V.D. To appeal to us to raise fund for technology.DScientists think they have the answer to a puzzle that confused even Charles Darwin: How flowers evolved and spread to become the most important plants on earth.Flowering plants, or angiosperms (被子植物), make up about 90％ of all living plant species, but how they did this has been a mystery. New research suggests it is due to genome (基因组) size.Hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was dominated by ferns (蕨类) and conifers (针叶树) － they were the main plants on the earth. Then, about 150 million years ago, the first flowering plants appeared on earth. They quickly spread to all parts of the world.Why angiosperms were successful and diverse on earth has been debated for centuries. Charles Darwin himself called it a “mystery”, fearing this apparent sudden change might challenge his theory of evolution.Kevin Simonin from San Francisco State University in California US and other researchers analyzed data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants including conifers) and ferns. They then compared genome size with anatomical (结构上的) features. This provides “strong evidence” that the success and rapid spread of flowering plants around the world is due to “genome downsizing”.By reducing the size of the genome, which is contained within the nucleus (核) of the cell, plants can build smaller cells. The researchers say genome-downsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and this was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.32. What do we know about angiosperms?A. They are superior in number among all living plant species.B. They controlled the earth for hundreds of millions of years.C. They challenge Charles Darwin’s theory.D. They are extinct plants in the world.33. It can be implied that___________.A. Simonin works in the Royal Botanic Gardens KewB. Simonin is probably an American biologistC. Darwin was confident of his theory of evolutionD. Darwin succeeded in figuring out the flower evolution34. What contributed to the success and diversity of angiosperms?A. The weaker ferns and conifer.B. The larger nucleus.C. The stronger cell.D. The smaller genome.35. What can be a suitable title of this passage?A. Why were gymnosperms successful on earth?B. What puzzle confused even Charles Darwin?C. Why angiosperms dominated the earth?D. When angiosperms outnumbered conifers and Ferns?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
