A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake. I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director. Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country. “Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said. Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient. 24. Why did the author stop the car? A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly. C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good. 25. What happened to the turtle? A. It got hurt by people previously. B. It lost its direction. C. It was run over by a car. D. It was injured a little bit by the author. 26. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last? A. Leaving the turtles alone. B. Making Ontario home to turtles. C. Changing the road conditions. D. Helping turtles find nesting spots. 27. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The director. B. The turtle. C. The author. D. The driver. C The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor. Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor. 28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes? A. The British often enlarge the fact. B. The British try to understate something. C. British jokes are connected with many different cultures. D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries. 29. The author explains understatement by _______. A. describing a process B. using examples C. following time order D. making comparisons 30. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______. A. telling funny stories B. copying how others behave C. making jokes about others’ accent D. using his body movement and facial expressions 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. British Humor in Comedy B. Humor in Different Cultures C. Developing Your Sense of Humor D. Understanding British Humor D For people suffering from depression(抑郁), there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows. For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression. Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.” Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression. 32. How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A. By analyzing a mass of data. B. By conducting genetic research. C. By comparing various levels of activity. D. By tracking the subjects for many years. 33. What does the study show about depression? A. Physical activity betters medical treatment. B. Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it. C. Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same. D. Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment. 34. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Harmful. B. Unusual. C. Common. D. Complex. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To discuss a disease of depression. B. To explain a phenomenon（现象） of depression. C. To analyze a genetic risk of depression. D. To introduce a method to lower the risk of depression. 第二节(共5个小题;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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get Higher Marks in Exams Have you got an important test coming up, where you really want to stand out?
