第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.”Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.An Airport for Drones(无人机)As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.21.What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?A. It can be a money-saverB. It can grow year by yearC. It can tear plastic into piecesD. It can be put into wide use soon22.What do we know about Nike?A. It offers free shoes to the disabledB. It is designing new shoes frequentlyC. It provides customer-friendly servicesD. It responded to Matthew’s request passively23.Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?A. Because road travel there is roughB. Because there are too many dronesC. Because they’re easier to construct than roadsD. Because they are receptive to new technologyBI grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.“We could begin right now if you like,”she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.24.What kind of family was the author from?A. Hard-upB. Two-parentC. Stress-freeD. Disease-ridden25.Why did the author choose to join the club?A. She wanted to stay longer at schoolB. She intended to comfort Mrs. ReeseC. She was deeply attracted by Mrs. ReeseD. She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house26.The author went to Mrs. Reese’s house .A. with the help of her tearsB. while no one was noticingC. with her mother’s permissionD. just before the lady moved away27.What did the author gain from Mrs. Reese?A. The beauty of SpanishB. The wonder of a new worldC. The power of self-confidenceD. The importance of independenceCEnglish is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first.Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.28.When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being .A. praised for his graceB. admired for his characterC. laughed at for his shynessD. told off for his nervousness29.The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means ””.A. going against the trend and succeedsB. changing the public idea completelyC. becoming unpopular and unacceptedD. becoming the major concern of people30.The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to .A. point out the harm shyness bringsB. disconnect shyness and successC. shows the reasons for shynessD. prove shyness contributes to science31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?A. OpposedB. IndifferentC. SupportiveD. CriticalDFrigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew."First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird.""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.32.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?A. CalmB. SurprisedC. HopefulD. Anxious33.According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?A. By flying into a cloudB. With the help of researchersC. Thanks to advanced technologyD. By following other birds into the sky34.What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?A. FrigatebirdsB. Other birdsC. Small fishD. Larger fish35.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?A. When they give birthB. What they feed onC. Their body weightD. Their wing surface area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。

There are plenty of bars scattered around the beach, so be prepared for the crazy parties every night.Ochheuteal BeachOchheuteal Beach is located south of Serendipity Beach , and it's a bit of an improvement from Serendipity Beach itself in terms of the people that go there .

This is where you can get your yoga suit on and practice meditation （冥想）. This is the quietest beach in Sihanoukville and it is the least crowded , with very few parties . If your idea of a beach holiday is just yourself and the sun , sea and sand, this place is for you .Koh RongKoh Rong is an island off Sihanoukville that is covered with beautiful sandy beachesTrue relaxation lies at Long Beach, which is located on the other side of the island .

At MIT , Reeves quickly found her place in the Departme nt of Aero nautics and Astr on autics (航空航天系).As a junior , Reeves was selected to participate in the GordonMIT Engineering Leadership Program . The program focuses on leadership for engineers - people who may have high technical IQs but who may be not good at expressing themselves . Reeves holds the point that in industry, people have to communicate with other engineers- to explain their ideas and fit into theorganizational structure .In the second year of the program, students become coaches for the new students, which means a team coach observes, and instructs the younger group . So Reeves thinks it's really the sec on dyear stude nts who are guidi ng the firstyear stude nts into how they canimprove as leaders .Reeves has bee n with Wome n in Aerospace Engin eeri ng (WAE) since its begi nning inher sophomore year. The group builds a community for women in all aspects of aeronautics. Last month , Reeves helped organize the first WAE Day , an event for 18high school girls in the Bost on area to come to MIT to lear n about aerospace engin eeri ng . Reeves says eve nts like these are especially importa nt for expos ing young wome n to the possibilities of the field .Just as she says "Be ing a pers on who has gone into the aerospace in dustry and has see n the lack of women , there are often times when I am the only female in the room . I think it's importa nt for young wome n and girls to have role models , and just see that there are wome n doing it . I have met a lot of strong female role models for myself in industry …A lot of our eve nts are ope n to men as well. We want to build a com munity of people who support wome n in aerospace."(1)What can we learn from the first paragraph ? _____A . Reeves seldom visited JPL at an early age.B .

Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.Xi’an Noodle sBiang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.Friendship BBQThe Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by i ts cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.Imperial GardenThe dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.1. What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?A．Steamed foods. B．Plain taste.C．Handmade dishes. D．Northwestern origin.2. How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?A．It’s not locally owned.B．It has innovative spirit.C．It features roasted dishes. D．It has casual atmosphere.3. If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?A．Imperial Garden. B．Dumpling Generation.C．Friendship BBQ. D．Xi’an Noodles.Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?A．It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot.B．It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.C．It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak.D．It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.5. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?A．To write books about mountains. B．To rename the peaks of mountains.C．To identify the highest mountains. D．To challenge other mountaineers.6. What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?A．It satisfies their curiosity. B．It strengthens their motivation.C．It attracts more mountaineers. D．It guarantees informed choices.7. Which of the following best describes the twins?A．Ambitious but impractical. B．Determined and adventurous.C．Intelligent and unselfish. D．Peace-loving and eco-friendly.There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work ar ound most life challenges.It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.8. What is the primary purpose of the text?A．To promote “efforts over complaint”.B．To stress the importance of fairness.C．To share an inspiring story of a friend.D．To prove that fairness is a state of mind.9. What does the underlined word “abound” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Change fully.B．Remain the same.C．Exist in numbers.D．Disappear completely.10. What opinion may the writer agree with?A．Most of us can affect the results we achieve.B．Our background determines our choices.C．People’s desire and determination create unfairness.D．We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Fairness Is JusticeB．Life Is Not Fair—Deal with ItC．Fairness Comes FirstD．Cry for FairnessThe 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．How productivity affects average wages.B．Why the 2010s is a productive decade.C．Whether economic growth follows new technologies.D．What innovative companies care for.13. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?A．AI’s public imagination.B．Consumers’ enthusiasm.C．AI’s healthy p rofits. D．AI’s huge potential.14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.B．More efforts are needed to advocate AI.C．Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.D．Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Cautious. D．Pessimistic. Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. 1617 Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. 18 It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. 19Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. 20 Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from school ______, too shy to step into the public attention. My grades, though not absolutely good, was above the ______. However, an unexpected incident allowed me to______life lessons and gradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.

Nannies provide childcare in the family’s private home.Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the children’s laundry, keep the children’s areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the family’s needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities and assisting the child with homework.Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies. For parents who hire a live-in nanny, at minimum they should provide a separate bedroom and bathroom and all meals and snacks. One of the benefits of nanny care is that the parents set the nannies weekly schedules. Nannies are typically required to have some scheduling flexibility.Nanny employers must pay what is commonly referred to as the nanny tax, which includes socialsecurity taxes and medi-care taxes, total about 7.65% of the nanny’s wages. The other federal tax is referred to as FUTA . It is the Federal Unemployment Tax. State unemployment taxes may also apply and vary from state to state.In addition to nanny employer taxes ,the nanny is responsible for her share of the FICA taxes. Nannies are responsible for paying their own income tax payments, however many employers agree to manage the payments for them.Typical nanny benefits include 2 weeks of paid vacation, paid sick days and paid personal days and full contributions to health insurance. Nanny employers may also wish to contribute to a retirement savings plan for their nanny.29．What does a full-time nanny usually do?A.She should do all the tasks connected with childcare.B.She must be able to communicate well with the family.C.She should provide excellent care for the family.D.She must avoid dealing with her private secrets.30．We can learn from the second paragraph that.A.the nanny should stop the kid from eating snacks.B.the parents must prepare every meal for the nanny.C.the nanny should be a person with education.D.the parents must take responsibility for the nanny.31．If you applied to be a full-time nanny.A.you would work at most 8 hours a dayB.you would get your private spaceC.you would work seven days a weekD.you would have no time of your own32．What do you know about the nanny tax?A.The nanny must pay such a tax according to her wages.B.The tax is almost one-fifth of the nanny’s wages.C.The employers should pay the nanny tax for nannies.D.The tax is said to be the highest of all taxes.DThis is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.It’s not that his peers disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos”in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.33.The underlined word “flunked”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. failedB. learnedC. achievedD. misunderstood34.What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?A. He was hated by his peers.B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school.C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios.D. He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.35.In the last two paragraphs, we are advised _______.A. to open up our eyesB. to believe we can make a differenceC. to learn more skills for developmentD. to ask for more appreciation and love36.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Nobody Is a Nobody.B. A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.C. We Should Turn Failure into Success.D. One Cannot Succeed without Talents.EIs it okay to keep exercising when you have a cold? What about the flu? With winter viruses going around, it’s important to know how to alter your training if you do catch a germ or two.“The guidelines are pretty easy,”says Dr Lorenzo Masci from the Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic.“Anything above the neck --- so if you’ve got a cold for example, a runny nose or a sore throat --- then you should probably cut down your exercise by half and do 50 percent of what you normally do.”“If you’ve got anything below the neck, like muscle pain, joint pain or fever, you shouldn’t really exercise at all until those general symptoms settle down,”Lorenzo says. He points out that a cough would also fall into this more serious category. “For example, if anyone comes in with a fever and a runny nose, I’d tell them to stop exercising until the fever and the muscle ache settles. Then they can start their training again at 50 percent once all those symptoms settle, even if they’ve got a bit of a runny nose or a sore throat.”“The reason we tell people to stop exercising is because if you exercise when you’re unwell it can make the illness worse and prolong it.”There is a second reason Lorenzo advises his patients to stop exercising when they have “below the neck”symptoms. In the event that you have an illness which affects your heart, exercise can sometimes actually lead to death.Lorenzo advises to take zinc (锌) and vitamin C as a way of preventing colds. But he admits that this iscontroversial --- some studies have shown that these supplements can improve immune function while other studies have cast doubt on the issue. The good news is that if you exercise regularly, you’re likely to improve your immune function. “If you exercise too much, it can predispose (使倾向于) you to coughs and sniffles,”he points out. This is often the case for excellent athletes who train every day, such as triathletes (铁人三项运动员). “But what we do know is that if you exercise at a moderate level, your immune system improves such that you’re probably at a lower risk of developing coughs and colds.”37.How should people do exercises with a fever or a cough?A．They should probably reduce their training time by 50%.B．They should stop exercising until they recover.C．They should start exercising at 50% after their runny nose settles.D．They should do half of what they normally do.38.What is the worst result if people don’t stop exercising when they are unwell?A．Worsening the illness.B．Prolonging the illness.C．Affecting the heart.D．Bringing about threat to life.39.What can be proved from the last paragraph?A．Zinc and Vitamin C can help to prevent colds.B．The more exercises we do, the stronger our immune function will be.C．Doing exercises regularly can help us prevent colds.D．Excellent athletes seldom get coughs or sniffles.40.What is this passage mainly about?A．Relationship between exercises and flu.B．How to do exercise.C．How to cope with flu.D．When to do exercise.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。
