The 19th Asian Games began on September 23, 2023. Hangzhou became the third Chinese city to hold the sports event, following Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010. Digital technology (数字技术) plays an important part in the opening ceremony (开幕式). For the first time at a large sports event, a digital torchbearer lit the main torch tower. Where did the digital person come from? In fact, it was a part of an online program (项目). The program, which started on June 15, called on people to take part in the torch relay on the Internet. The online platform was easy to use. People could pass on the torch just by shaking their mobile phones. More than 100 million people took part in the program. At the opening ceremony, these people turned their digital flames into a digital torchbearer. Dong Sijiao from Shaoxing City was one of the “online torchbearers”. The 79-year-old felt pleased with herself “The program was amazing. It could let me pass on my happiness to friends from all over the world,” she said. With many people’s hard work, the green and smart Hangzhou Asia Games was a great success. It left lasting memories (记忆) for people around the world. 36．India held the 1st Asian Games in ________.

But a new study in February, 2022 suggested eating a lot of vegetables may not greatly cut down the risk of heart problems. The study is from universities in Oxford and Hong Kong, China. Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and what raw (生的) and cooked vegetables they ate. The study actually found that the risk of dying from heart problems was around 15% lower for those eating the most vegetables, especially raw vegetables. However, scientists explained that many other factors (因素) also have something to do with this 15% drop. These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables. These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink. Lead researcher Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford said, “Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.” But does it mean that eating vegetables is futile? No. Many other scientists advise that people should still eat at least five kinds of fruit and vegetables every day. That’s because vegetables are important for keeping good health and reducing (减少) the risk of serious illnesses. 41. How many people answered questions for the study? A. About 4,000. B. About 1,000. C. About 100,000. D. About 400,000. 42. According to the passage which may affect heart health? ①Whether we smoke. ②Where we live. ③How we get to work. ④What job we do. ⑤How much exercise we get. A. ①③⑤ B. ①②③ C. ①②⑤ D. ③④⑤ 43. What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Useless. B. Bad. C. Cheap. D. Necessary. 44. Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A. Eating cooked vegetables is better than eating raw vegetables. B. Many factors are as important as eating vegetables to heart health. C. Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford started the study alone. D. Scientists found facts showing eating vegetables can keep heart problems away. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Vegetables are healthier than meat. B. Eating too many vegetables is bad for our health. C. Doctors across the world are lying about eating vegetables. D. Eating vegetables may not be so helpful to keep the heart healthy. IV. 任务型阅读(每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Running for Fun Running helps you keep fit. That’s why millions of people run several days a week and take part in races. Some runners connect running with charity (慈善). They collect money for their run and give it to people in need. Have you ever heard of the Colour Run? It is a special and popular running game known as “The happiest 5K on the planet”. The Colour Run offers a more enjoyable and healthy experience compared to traditional running races. It is famous around the world. Travis Snyder had been thinking for some time about an idea for a fun run. He hoped that skilled runners and people who enjoyed running in free time could run together. In 2012, he started the first “Colour Run” and 6, 000 runners took part in it. Now it is held every year in many cities around the world with millions of people. In the activity, the runners start the run wearing something white, and at every kilometre people paint them in different colours: 1K is yellow, 2K is blue, 3K is green, 4K is pink...a big colour show! Why do people go on a Colour Run? Because it’s healthy, fun and colourful. Many people love the game because it provides a fresh and exciting experience. Their focus isn’t on the competition but enjoying the experience and the lively feeling. The Colour Run also supports charity. While running, runners have the chance to raise money for some charities, like children’s hospital. Some runners even choose to run in crazy clothes to get more attention and collect more money for those in need. Fitness, fun, and the chance to do charity work have made the Colour Run a highly popular game. The Colour Run brings people of different ages and fitness levels together in a cheerful and colorful way. It encourages physical activity and acts of kindness. 46．What is the Colour Run?   47．Who started the first Colour Run?   48．What colour of clothes do the runners wear when they start the run?   49．Why do some runners choose to run in crazy clothes?   50．Would you like to take part in the Colour Run?
