Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage(通道)was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle-aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.4.Why did the class leave the cars halfway?A.Because their cars broke down in Deary.B.Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.C.Because townsmen were curious about their cars.D.Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.5.What does the underlined word "ducking" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Turning.B.Touching.C.Lowering.D.Hitting.6.Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore?A.Impatient.B.Careless.C.Hard-working.D.Warm-hearted.7.What can we know from the passage?A.The class failed to see the mica mine.B.The weather terribly influenced the trip.C.The teacher was not professional enough.D.The author was not liked by her classmates.阅读理解Is there a way to turn back the clock on your age? A new study says yes. Exercise can make you look younger. At least it can lower your fitness age — that is the measure of how well your body works.A study of athletes in the National Senior Games found that their fitness age was more than 20 years younger than their chronological age. The games took place in the Midwestern state of Minnesota. Tony Diamond took part in the games. Every morning he went to a local park and walked fast for an hour. Then, the retired navy captain ran for an hour. Two or three times a week, he went to a gym for muscle(肌肉)training. Mr. Diamond won three medals at the 2015 National Senior Games."My current age is 86 years old, and my fitness age is 44. I think I am in such good physical condition because I do a lot of exercise during my life. I have been exercising since I was a little boy," said Mr. Diamond."I'm 62 years old and my fitness results showed that I was 32 years," said Ms White.Ms. White and Mr. Diamond are some of the 5, 000 Senior Games participants who took part in the fitness age study.Pamela Peeke was an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland. She worked on the study with Ulrik Wisloff at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Mr Wisloff developed a fitness calculator.An online calculator is available for anyone to use for free. Ms. Peeke says there are benefits from attending this test.The National Senior Games take place every two years. They are the competition for athletes older than 50. The games include a variety of sports.This year the average age of the people competing was 68. But their average fitness age was 43.8.What can make us look younger?A.Taking exercise.B.Becoming an athlete.C.Walking fast every day.D.Going to the park every day.9.What's the meaning of the underlined words "chronological age" in Paragraph 2?A.Mental age.B.Psychological age.C.Actual age.D.Full age.10.The example of Tony Diamond is used to ____.A.support the main idea of the passageB.prove more people like taking exerciseC.encourage more people to take exerciseD.show many people pay attention to beauty11.From the passage we may safely draw a conclusion that ____.A.the faster you walk, the healthier you areB.the older you are, the more exercise you needC.the more active you are, the younger you lookD.the more exercise you take, the longer you live阅读理解A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. "I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone, "My friend Jimmy once told me. "So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing."Another challenge is time, and in that case, audiobooks(有声书)can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.12.What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?A.Getting reading skills.B.Finding a great book.C.Having limited time.D.Getting reading started.13.What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?A.They are time saving.B.They provide more pleasure.C.They aid brain development.D.They offer more book choices.14.Why is rereading old favorite books a good idea?A.It helps restart reading.B.It is of great convenienceC.It improves the taste for art.D.It can increase your patience.15.What can be the best title for the text?A.Method of killing free timeB.Advantages of using audiobooksC.Way to choose educational booksD.Tips on developing a reading habit二、阅读理解,第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 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。

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19.Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20.What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21.Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22.The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23.What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24.What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25.According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26.What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29.What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words.

She was so bored that she absent-mindedly picked up a banana on her kitchen table and started running her fork along the outside of the skin. The dark lines that appeared on the skin looked interesting to her, and she watched as the marks gradually got darker. She continued doodling and was soon interested.Chojnicka started making pictures that were more and more complex (复杂的) using the same way—only pressure, no paint—until she drew an Ethiopian coffee pot and cup. Her new hobby was born. Since that first day she knew what she could do by drawing on a banana skin, Chojnicka has been posting her daily paintings online, where she has thousands of fans. “I haven’t missed a day, but I know I can’t keep that up forever,” she says, adding that she finishes her daily picture, takes a photo and then eats the banana because she doesn’t like waste.Her art comes to life by oxidization(氧化). Just like apples, bananas oxidize or turn brown as their cells interact with oxygen in the air. Cells that are damaged brown faster. By varying the time when she applied the marks, Chojnicka discovered that she could create complex pictures.While her banana drawings began as a way to overcome boredom, they have become something bigger. “I saw a chance to put it to something good,” says Chojnicka. With the help of her social media fans, she has collected about $1,600 for FareShare, an organization in the United Kingdom that provides food for people in need.4、What does the underlined wor d “doodling” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Eating.B. Drawing.C. Observing.D. Imagining.5、What does Chojnicka do after finishing her daily creation?A. She colors it with dark paint.B. She sells it to her followers online.C. She throws the oxidized banana away.D. She shares a photo of it on the social media and then eats it.6、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How Chojnicka took up the hobby.B. How banana drawings are possible.C. Why banana drawings are so popular.D. Why Chojnicka began to study fruits.7、What is Chojnicka trying to do with her creations?A. To help the society.B. To climb to the top of her career.C. To teach people how to appreciate art.D. To encourage her followers to achieve their dreams.Great scientific progress has been made in recent years to show that walking is among the simplest and most effective for people to promote (促进) physical health and help prevent diseases. A research has brought more good news.A team of researchers looked at data (数据) on 474,919 people who took part in the UK Biobank study, in which they answered whether the walking speed was slow, average or fast. Researchers also measured factors (因素) including the people’s BMI (体重指数) and body-fat percentage.They found that people who walked fast had longer life expectancies (预期寿命) than the others in spite of their BMI, at 86.7 to 87.8 years for women 85.2 to 86.8 years for men. Those who walked slowly had short expectancies, particularly those who moved slowly and had a BMI of less than 20, even though this was in the healthy range. Women in this group had an average life expectancy of 72.4 years, dropping to 64.8 years for men.The lowest life expectancy was seen in those who were underweight with a slow walking speed, which is in contrast to the assumption: that is often made that fatness creates the greatest risk. In fact, many others have also reported an increased risk of death rate in those who are underweight, although this research is the first to investigate this in relation to walking speed. However, the study is not a cause-and-effect relationship. More research must be done to look at whether the high-risk group could improve their life expectancies by picking up their speed.“While there’re likely to be many factors contributing to the strength of o ur findings, increasing your fitness is one of the best things you can do for your health, ”,said Tom Yates, lead author of the study. “Increasing your walking speed in everyday life is a good way to increase fitness levels, particularly in those who are s low walkers. So get moving fast!”8、How did the researchers carry out their new research?A. By observing many people.B. By doing surveys.C. By analyzing the information.D. By doing experiments.9、What does the author say about the study?A. It needs further research.B. It arrives at a wrong conclusion.C. Its findings are not reasonable.D. Its results are similar to those of past studies.10、What is Yates attempting to do in the last paragraph?A. Make comments.B. Give suggestions.C. Offer explanations.D. Express opinions.11、Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Walk for better health.B. Fast walkers appear to live longer.C. Your BMI determines how long you live.D. Increasing your fitness matters.When you are lying in bed, every single noise-from the creak(嘎吱声) of the bed to a whistle in your partner’s nose-may keep you awake. You may find it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Actually, you may just need more noise. While it may sound strange, it is scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you sleep well. Specially white, pink and Brown noise can mask(掩饰) these sounds, creating a more harmonious background.White noise contains sounds of all frequencies(频率) that humans can hear. But it comes across as a high-pitched buzz(声调高的嗡嗡声). That’s because of the way your ears hear it. Basically, your brain strengthens sounds in higher-pitched frequencies. So while you are hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest frequencies tend to drown(淹没) the lower-pitched ones.The pink noise balanced out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the more its volume is decreased. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise. Think of rain falling on the sidewalk or a gentle wind in the trees.In a study at China’s Peking University, researchers found that when people hear either pink noise or no noise during the sleep, 75 % reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors proved that people had 23 % more restful brain activity at night withpink noise and 45 % more restful sleep during naps.Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound.The color of noise that will help you get more sleep is the one you like the best. While pink and brown noises are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will decide which one gives you the best sleep.12、According to the passage, we know that the white noise ________A. removes low-frequency sounds.B. protects ears from high-pitched sounds.C. makes sounds of all frequencies heard equally.D. contains sounds of all frequencies of people can hear.13、Why does the author mention the study at China’s Peking University?A. To show the need for silence during sleep.B. To prove pink noise’s positive influence on sleep.C. To stress the importance of restful sleep.D. To give the reason for more noise for sleep.14、What’s the main idea o f this passage?A. Some types of noise may help people sleep better.B. Our brain is always kept active.C. Many people have difficulty sleeping well.D. Noise has different colors and frequencies.15、In which section of newspaper may this passage appear?A. Environment.B. Education.C. Science.D. Travel.二、七选五16、How to get motivatedYou must think positively no matter how big a challenge is. If you think positively you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life. Furthermore, meet an optimistic person and you will notice how motivated he is towards life. ① On the other hand, negative thinking will only cause more depression in your life.One of the best ways to motivate oneself is to get inspired by others’ success. ②Instead, take inspiration from their success stories. This will make you motivated to get what you want. Moreover, you can also read books that are written by inspirational and successful personalities.There is a famous quote that reads, “A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.” ③Therefore, it is important to exercise. Whether you are working out in the gym or going for a long walk, make sure that you include an exercise plan in your daily routine.④Therefore, it is important to break your routine and do something different. Either you go on a vacation or learn a new skill, it is important to break the sameness in your daily life.Human beings are extraordinary individuals who are able to complete the hardest tasks and achieve the impossible. It is important to get out of your comfort zone and try something different. ⑤A. If your mind is healthy you will think positively.B. Keeping yourself motivated is not a difficult task.C. Don’t envy those who are successful around you.D. You might lose motivation by doing the same things over and over again.E.

There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Convinced the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound, no crack,” he told the reporter. “I just fell through instantly.”Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend. And the pond swallowed him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony, but he fell in the po nd again. This time, he couldn’t get out.The boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs (四肢). Cruz was sure that he was going to die.Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help.John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy(浮标), kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and dragged them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck (敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he hadn’t been there, I could have died.”24. Why did the boys go to the frozen pond?A. They were curious about whether the ice could hold their weight.B. They wanted to have a better look at the pond.C.

What did Cruz do when Anthony fell into the pond?A. He went to help his friend.B. He went to ask for his sister’s help.C. He went to ask for his neighbor’s help.D. He went to find a buoy nearby.27. From this passage, we can infer that _____.A. Anthony’s older sister went to the pond with the two boysB. a strange passer-by saved the two boysC. Cruz fell into the pond with Anthony at the same timeD. the two boys were very grateful to their neighborCLocated on the waters of Lake Superior, Rabbit Island is a remote place where few people live. While this tiny island may not look big from up above, it’s a piece of undeveloped nature, the perfect place for artists from all fields to come and inspire their creativity.It was that vision that made New Yorker Rob Gorski purchase the island on Craigslist in 2010. He wanted to protect the island’s natural state. But Gorski had more than preserving nature in mind. He saw an opportunity to create a place where artists, musicians, writers, dancers and other creative types could reconnect with nature while learning about environmental protection and sustainability (可持续性).Shortly after that, Gorski worked with friend and artist Andrew Ranville and created the Rabbit Island Foundation. The organization’s main goal is to host artist living programs during the summer while also teaching and supporting environmental protection, sustainability and serving “as a platform for science, art, preservation and recreation for the generations.” In keeping with the belief that the island should remain largely untouched, the artists follow a “leave no trace” policy. Small solar panels (板) are used to produce electricity, and buildings are simple and modest. There’s also the added benefit that there are no modern distractions (分心的事情) for the artists — no Internet, no television.What sets Rabbit Island apart from other arts programs is the fluidity (流动性) of the programs. Artists are encouraged to experience being on their own and listen to what nature is trying to tell them. Ranville hopes the artists have a better understanding and appreciation for nature, just as he does with his art.28. Which words can best describe Rabbit Island?A. Beautiful and interesting.B.

It is mainly to help poor artists.B. Its location isn’t that convenient.C. Artists are taught how to develop other islands.D. Artists are encouraged to experience nature on their own.DWorries about the extra time needed to walk or bike to work are a big reason people get into their cars, but those worries may be unfounded.In a new study, researchers asked 253 staff and 252 students at Penn State how often they drove, took the bus, walked, or biked to school. Participants also answered questions about how long they thought it would take them to walk or bike from their home to school. Google Maps calculated actual travel times.According to the findings, about 91 percent of staff incorrectly estimated (估计) how long it would take to walk to school, and about 93 percent overestimated how long it would lake to bike.Students were a little better at estimating travel times-about 55 percent incorrectly estimated walking times and about 43 percent misestimated biking times. Almost everyone who was not accurate overestimated the travel time.The findings clarify the barriers that keep people from walking or biking, sometimes referred to as“active travel,” says Melissa Bopp, a professor at Penn State. He pointed out the key to getting people to travel more actively is to learn more about people’ s knowledge, altitudes, and beliefs.“I can’ t change your age, but I can change your knowledge,”Bopp says.Several characteristics could predict if someone was more likely to estimate travel time incorrectly. Staff who thought parking was more available and accessible were more discordant (不一致的), and women were more likely to be more discordant than men.On the contrary, people who rode a bike or walked more often were more likely to accurately predict travel times.While the study looked at people predicting travel time when they shared a common destination, the results have broader meanings.32. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph 1?A.unnecessary.B. normal.C. disturbing.D. beneficial.33. What conclusion can we draw from the findings?A. School staff lack common sense.B. Everyone overestimated the traveling time by bike.C.School students estimated more accurately in the study.D. Students have higher intelligence than school staff.34. What matters in getting people involved in “active travel”?A. Weight.B. Status.C. Age.D. Knowledge.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Walking or biking is beneficial to you.B. Walking or biking is quicker than you’ d think.C. Walking or biking is becoming more popular.D. People walking or biking can predict accurately.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。
