21．（6分）Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also imp rove your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California ,Irvine in the United States and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli(西兰花)or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. "The memory task was really quite challenging ,said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家)at theUniversity of California, Irvine. "We used very tricky similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket versus (对抗)that picnic basket. "Researchers also scanned brains of some of the participants during the experiment. They found strengthened communication between regions involved in the storage and recollection of memories in brains of those who had exercised. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory power.As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the effects of light exercise on older people. " Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription (处方)that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or mobility impairments, but can still adopt very simple exercise rules of life and be able to, perhaps, delay cognitive decline temporarily," said Yassa.1、What did the researchers find from the experiment mentioned in the text? A．Regular exercise is of benefit to the memory of all people.B．Just a short period of exercise better young people's memory power.C．Older people can also imp rove their cognitive power by exercising regularly. D．AU the volunteers in the experiment imp roved their memory through exercise. 2、Why was the memory task quite challenging?A．The lime to solve the questions was too limited.B．The questions asked by the scientists were loo comp Heated.C．The items to be distinguished were extremely similar.D．The people in the experiment were disabled.3、What 's the purpose of the text?A．To solve a problem.B．To give practical advice.C．To present a research result.D．To tell an interesting sotry4、What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Advantages of Exercising RegularlyB．Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Y oung and OldC．Exercise Can Imp rove Older People' s Cognitive PowerD．Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Imp rove Memory22．（8分）Are Coral Reefs(珊瑚礁) Adapting to Climate Change?Scientists reported that climate change might actually be helping ancient trees thrive(长得健壮). Now there seems to be more positive news—this time about the coral in our oceans whose population has been severely affected in last few decades by rising temperatures, disease and human carelessness.Coral reefs as you probably know are not just colorful calcium carbonate(钙碳酸盐)structures that provide shelter to a wonderful number of fish, but also a close relationship or partnership between coral polyps(珊瑚虫) and single celled living things called zooxanthellae(虫黄藻). The coral polyps give the zooxanthellae a home and in return the later provide the coral polyps with their vivid color and food. They supporteach other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.Scientists estimate the phenomenon of rising temperatures combined with disease has destroyed the coral reef population by more than 80%. It is therefore no wonder that scientists all over the world are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life. However, while human efforts like planting the coral again have been somewhat successful, they are not enough to replace all the coral that has been dying due to climate change. That is probably why reports by various researchers about certain types of coral being able to not only survive the changing ocean conditions, but also thrive in it, are being met with such enthusiasm. The most recent findings show that despite higher temperatures the coral reefs seem to be thriving.These findings are consistent with the lab research conducted by the scientists who tried growing different varieties of coral in waters with higher temperature to see how they would react. They were surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory. A program is busy analyzing the world's oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purpose．However, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists are still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequences would be on the surrounding sea life. Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!1、Which word can be used to complete the following relationship?Coral reefs are a bridge between coral polyps and zooxanthellae.→Coral polyps and zoox anthellae depend on one another.→The ________ between coral polyps and zooxanthellae is suffering from severe damage.A．home B．structureC．balance D．color2、The underlined words in Paragraph 4 mean ________.A．to allow coral reefs to thrive againB．to find more varieties of coralC．to survive the changing ocean conditionsD．to see how coral reacts in higher temperature3、We can infer from the passage that ________.A．climate change has the same effect on both ancient trees and coralB．re-planting the coral can solve the problem of coral reefs' decreaseC．various researchers are interested in the reports on the changing ocean conditions D．the lab research has encouraged scientists to restore coral reefs to their former glory 23．（8分）This Monday, the natio n will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day, just seven days before George Washington’s birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Pre sidents’ Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s Birthday. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historianssa y the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washington’s birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday. In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holiday’s name. It w as still called Washington’s Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil Warand helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country’s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of theterm ＂George Washington’s Birthday.＂but none of those laws have been passed.Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term ＂Presidents’ Day.＂Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents?****************************************************.1、The President’s Day was originally designed to honor____________.A．George Washington B．Abraham LincolnC．all presidents D．the Civil War2、What can we infer from the passage?A．Washington’s Birthday is the same as Lincoln’s.B．The change in the calendar system was not wise.C．The new act changed the holiday’s name.D．This Monday is the third one of this February.3、What’s the main argument about this holiday?A．When to celebrate the holiday.B．How to celebrate the holiday.C．Which president to honor.D．Where to celebrate the holiday.4、What’s the best title for this passage?A．Why people celebrate President DayB．The history and debate behind Presidents’ DayC．To celebrate Presidents’ Day or notD．Colorful activities on Presidents’ Day24．（8分）From childhood, Moira loved to write. Throughout school she enjoyed writing, but pursuing it professionally was never a possibility. Her father was a doctor, her mother a nurse. “Medicine was a fairly safe choice,” Moira says, “and writing was a career where it wasn’t a certainty that you’d have high income.”She became a doctor but still wanted to write something. However, being a doctor was so demanding that she didn’t take up writing until her thirties. She produced a novel—a fictionalized version of her travel in China after university. She got excellent reviews. Moira sent it off to as many agents as she could find, and found one who wanted to represent her. Suddenly, it seemed she was on her way as an author.“I had one lengthy phone call with the agent where we went through all possibleareas that she thought needed polishing. I worked on those and sent it back to her but didn’t hear anything.” It wasn’t long before Moira found another agent who was interested if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person. She did the hard work and sent it off again. “I got back a really brief letter: ‘Thank you, I’m no longer interested.’ It was really disappointing.”A decade went by, and Moira found herself eager to write again, this time purely for her own enjoyment. She set herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting.As she was writing just for herself, something surprising began to happen. “The characters took on a life of their own; they started doing things I hadn’t thought about. It just flew.” One day, an agent called from Australia. Three weeks later, Moira had a publication deal. Her novel, Cicada, was published in March.“Even if it hadn’t been published I still gained so much from the process,” says Moira.1、What do we know about Moira?A．She was a writer. B．She was a doctor.C．She was an agent.

B．The setting.C．The challenge. D．The pleasure.4、What does the underlined word “flew” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Succeeded. B．Survived.C．Broke. D．Failed.5、What would be the best title of the passage?A．An Adventure in China B．How to Be a WriterC．Moira’s First Novel D．A Passion for Writing25．（10分）Airbags, now found in almost every vehicle, have saved countless livesand largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes. Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髋部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.Dr. Robert Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushioning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. It also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesn’t include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.1、What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?A．To avoid hip injuries among seniors.B．To protect seniors from car accidents.C．To help seniors with their daily nursing.D．To help doctors deal with serious injuries.2、What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?A．A report on seniors’ health.B．A serious fall he experienced.C．His work experiences as a doctor.D．Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.3、How does the device mainly work?A．By predicting road conditions. B．By speeding up bone recovery.C．By reducing the effects of falling. D．By preventing people from failing.4、What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?A．It still needs improving.B．It has a promising future.C．It may encourage seniors to do exercise.D．It may increase America’s spend on senio rs.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）Today there is more to read than ever before.
