The conductor on the podium (指挥台) has no baton (指挥棒), no tailcoat and no musical score, but Android Alter 3 is kicking up a storm as it guides a symphony orchestra's players through their paces.
The robot has a humanoid face, hands and lower arms, which gesture with what could pass for passion as it bounces up and down and rotates during the live performance of Keiichiro Shibuya's opera Scary Beauty in the Emirate of Sharjah.
Video from the recent performance in the Emirate of Sharjah showed the machine turning to face orchestra members and waving its arms. Alter 3 even sang at times.
Shibuya said the involvement of robots in the everyday lives of humans is continually increasing. But, he said he thinks people will need to decide in the future how artificial intelligence can best improve the human experience.
Shibuya added that he believes humans and robots can learn to work together to create beautiful art. "This work is a metaphor of that relations between humans and technology," he said. Shibuya noted that sometimes the music-leading robot can "get crazy", making it difficult for the musicians to keep up. But other times, the humans and machines cooperate very well.
Shibuya said the robots and AI that exist today are "far from complete". He is interested in studying how such incomplete technology can be combined with art.
"I think this is a very exciting idea…We came to see what it looks like and how much is possible," said Anna Kovacevic. Another audience member, who gave his name only as Billum, said after the show, "You know, a human conductor is so much better." Although he said he is interested in AI and looks forward to big developments, he concluded on the project: "The human touch is lost."
4. What does Shibuya think of Alter 3?
A. It is not perfect at present. B. It teams up with humans well.
C. It often makes humans crazy. D. It is better than human conductors.
5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The performance drew mixed reactions.
B. Billum took no interest in the performance.
C. The audience were fascinated by the performance.
D. The audience thought Alter 3 would have a bright future.
6. What is the author's attitude towards the combination of robots and art?
A. Positive B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Critical.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Robot Cooperates with Humans
B. Robot Conducts Human Orchestra
C. The Significance of Robots in Art
D. The Relations Between AI and Humans
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了机器人Alter 3在Emirate of Sharjah指挥人类管弦乐队演出的情况,人们对此的观点和不同反应。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Shibuya noted that sometimes the music-leading robot can "get crazy", making it difficult for the musicians to keep up.(Shibuya指出,有时候,指挥音乐的机器人会“发疯”,让音乐家很难跟上节奏)”和倒数第二段“Shibuya said the robots and AI that exist today are "far from complete". He is interested in studying how such incomplete technology can be combined with art. (Shibuya说目前存在的机器人和人工智能“还远远不够完善”。他对研究这种不完善的技术如何与艺术结合很感兴趣)”可知,Shibuya认为Alter 3目前还不完美,还需要改进。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“"I think this is a very exciting idea…," said Anna Kovacevic. Another audience member, …said after the show, "You know, a human conductor is so much better." …he concluded on the project: "The human touch is lost."”列举的不同观众对机器人指挥人类管弦乐队发表的观点,可知这一表演引起了观众们不同的反应。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章后四段中“Shibuya said”,“he said”,“Shibuya added”,“said Anna Kovacevic.”,“Another audience member, who gave his name only as Billum, said”等内容可知,作者在文中只是客观引用了人们对机器人与艺术的结合的看法,并没有发表自己的观点。所以作者的态度是客观的,故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章前三段介绍了机器人Alter 3指挥人类管弦乐队演出的情况,下文介绍了人们对此的观点和不同反应。B项Robot Conducts Human Orchestra概括了全文内容,适合作为文章标题。故选B。
C
Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds? “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
8. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2?
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
9. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months?
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
10. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body?
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Why Do We Gain Weight?
B. How to Work Out Effectively?
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body?
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain?
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食的同时,体重不降反增的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句““A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says.(他说:“一个人的体表质量是肌肉、脂肪、骨头、血液,甚至是我们肺中携带的空气的组合。”)”可知,体重是肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液甚至肺里空气的质量总和。由此可推知,体重受多种因素影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease.(当你开始通过锻炼来改变你的身体组成——通过增加更多的肌肉量和减少体脂——你的体重可能会增加,而体脂率可能会降低。)”可推知,在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后,最有可能发生的是你的身体组成会发生变化。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight(水大约占一个人体重的65%到90%)”可知,人体的含水量约占人体体重的65%到90%。由此可知,体重150磅的人体内含水量应在(150×65%=97.5)磅至(150×90%=135)磅之间。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds? “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.(你是否一直在锻炼,饮食也很健康,但当你站在秤上时,秤上显示你胖了几磅?“这很正常,这并不意味着你的锻炼没有效果,”佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩的运动生理学家Jeffrey A. Dolgan说。)”和第二段的“Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.(在例行锻炼后,身体各个部位的质量百分比会立即发生15%的变化。所以,如果你在锻炼和健康饮食的同时体重增加,这可能不是你想的那种类型的体重增加。)”可知,文章主要分析了坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后体重不降反增的原因。D项“Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain?(为什么我锻炼后体重反而增加了?)”能概括文章主要内容,最适合作本文标题。故选D。
D
For people suffering from depression, 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14 What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Harmful. B. Complex.
C. Unusual. D. Common.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To discuss a disease.
B. To introduce a method.
C. To analyze a genetic risk.
D. To explain a phenomenon.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于锻炼有助于减少和预防抑郁症的研究。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them.”(在这项研究中,研究人员收集了近8000人的相关信息,发现那些携带相关基因的人在接下来的两年内更有可能患上抑郁症。)可知,研究者们收集和研究了近8000人的信息,由此可推知,他们是通过分析大量资料来得出结论的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“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”(我们的研究结果强烈表明,当涉及到抑郁症时,体育锻炼有可能消除那些有着遗传基因风险的个体未来发作的额外风险)和“On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”(平均而言,每天大约35分钟的额外的体育活动,可以帮助人们降低患抑郁症的风险,防止未来发生抑郁症。)可知,研究表明,体育锻炼能够降低患抑郁症的风险,防止未来抑郁症发作。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Depression is a common mental illness globally”(抑郁症是全球常见的精神疾病)可知,抑郁症很常见,结合划线词所在句“Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible”(抑郁症如此ubiquitous,这就突显出对有效的、能影响尽可能多的人的方法的需要)可知,ubiquitous与上一句中的common同义,表示“常见的、普通的”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use — getting more exercise.”(对于患有抑郁症的人来说,他们应该使用一种纯天然的治疗方法——多锻炼。)和全文内容可知,文章主要讲的是锻炼有助于减少和预防抑郁症的发生,由此可知,本文写作目的是介绍一种减少和预防抑郁症的策略。故选B。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. ___16___ “Do you need a second helping of pudding?"a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. ___17___ .He had no preparation for it.
___18___But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses.
The restaurant is the latest initiative(初步行动)from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. ___19___ “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Angel. “ ___20___People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."
A. By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar.
B. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?
C. They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.
D. It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.
E. The homeless are treated with respect at the restaurant.
F. Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma.
G. Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章记叙了安东尼奥在一家利用付费客户的早餐和午餐收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐的慈善餐厅用餐的故事。
【16题详解】
结合后文Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 安东尼奥已经吃完一盘意大利面、一份炖鱼和一块蛋糕,他不能马上回答。这个问题对大多数用餐者来说可能很常见,但对他来说,这完全是个新奇的问题,因为他无家可归,而且是免费用餐。安东尼奥正在面临着已经吃饱了,可是如果走了又无家可归的两难境地。F. Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma. 安东尼奥发现自己面临一个受欢迎的两难境地。符合此处语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
结合前文“Do you need a second helping of pudding?" a waitress asked. “你需要再来一份布丁吗?”一位女服务员问道。及后文He had no preparation for it. 他没有准备。D. It was the first time that he had been asked such a question. 这是第一次有人问他这样的问题。与前文问题相照应,也与后文“没有准备好回答”相对应。故选D项。
【18题详解】
结合后文But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses. 但到了晚上,它就变成了一个开拓性的地方,像安东尼奥这样的无家可归者可以在摆满鲜花、金属餐具和玻璃杯的桌子上免费用餐。结合连词but可知,此处应该为描述与后文晚上相反的白天的酒店状态。A. By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar. 白天,罗宾汉餐厅坐落在马德里市中心附近的一条小街上,是一家典型的西班牙酒吧。与后文形成转折。故选A项。
【19题详解】
结合前文Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 它的商业模式非常简单,利用付费客户的早餐和午餐收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐。G. Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.它的目标有些雄心勃勃。早餐和午餐收入是远不及晚餐的,因此用早餐和午餐的收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐有些雄心勃勃。故选G项。
【20题详解】
结合后文People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. 没有任何东西的人可以来餐馆吃饭,得到和其他人一样的待遇。B. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters? 所以我们想,为什么不开一家有桌布、餐具和服务员的餐厅呢?此处的开餐馆与后文的来餐馆吃饭相对应。故选B项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ben was awakened by a gunshot. The sharp noise came through the thick stone walls of the house. It was cold in the bedroom and Ben was shaking as he got out of bed. He put on his eyeglasses and went over to the window. The field was covered with white frost. Nothing moved out there in the deep quiet just before sunrise.
Ben wondered where the shot had come from. He thought perhaps he had dreamed he heard a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later, a man came out of the woods. He wore hunting clothes. Suddenly a bird flew upward. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall grass. Safe, Ben thought.
The hunter did not move for a moment,and then he began to follow the bird. Hate for the hunter burned inside Ben. Opening the window, he shouted, “Hey!” His voice cut through the stillness. The hunter stopped, but then continued to follow the bird. Ben shouted again, but this time the hunter did not stop. Then Ben rushed out and moved toward him. The hunter looked back at Ben. Ben had just bought this house in the woods. He wanted to protect everything on his land. He thought that everyone would obey the signs “No Hunting”.
However, he heard another gunshot. This troubled him deeply. How could he stop this hunter? He walked toward the lake. He did not want to fight, but the man must go. He walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do? He could not fight the hunter.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly he heard a bird's wings beating the dry grass.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There was something threatening in the hunter's cool quiet voice.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly he heard a bird's wings beating the dry grass. Ben took a deep breath and thought that the bird exposed its spot to the hunter, who was watching over these grassland. Just at the very moment the hunter was targeting the bird and was about to shoot when Ben shouted at the top of his voice “Stop!” It startled both the bird and the hunter- the bird soared up to the sky and the hunter abruptly put down the gun. He turned around toward the direction where Ben stood, asking “What are you doing here?”
There was something threatening in the hunter's cool quiet voice. Ben straightened his back and replied the intruder's confrontation with as much assertion and assurance as he could summon up or fake, “I am the landlord of this place and you step into my private property. I demand you leave right now.” The hunter gave a snort of contempt. “Yes, I have claimed this property! LEAVE!” The hunter swung his gun and whistled, leaving at last. Ben relieved a sigh. The frost on the dry grass started to melt when the rising sun popped out from the East with sunlight dancing on the signs “No hunting”.
【参考范文②】
Suddenly he heard a bird's wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly toward the sound and saw a colored head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came close. Then it tried to fly away, but one wing was broken. Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. The bird fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben's arms. Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wing so that it could fly again. He was almost through the woods when he heard the hunter behind him saying “It is mine!”
There was something threatening in the hunter's cool quiet voice. The hunter stepped closer and claimed that bird again. Ben was frightened at first. However, when he saw the bird struggling weakly and made a wild, strange noise, he knew he could never give this bird to the hunter. This feeling gave Ben great strength, and he was no longer afraid. “This is my property. Leave here, or I'll call the police!” Ben said assertively. The woods were strangely quiet. To Ben's surprise, the hunter slowly walked away. Ben carefully studied the injured wing. Smoothing its feathers,he decided to stay with the bird and take care of it until its full recovery.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ben早上醒来听到一声枪响,当他朝窗外查看时,没有发现异常。就当他以为是自己在梦中听见的枪声时,他看到外面大树边有一把枪。不一会后,Ben发现一个男人正在猎杀小鸟。Ben讨厌这种猎杀动物的行为,于是大喊,但是猎人没有停下来,继续捕杀小鸟。Ben跑出屋子,朝猎人跑去,但是他又听到了另一声枪响。Ben不想和猎人打斗,但是他必须得阻止猎人。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,他听到一只鸟的翅膀拍打着干草。”可知,第一段可描写Ben阻止猎人猎杀这只鸟。
②由第二段首句内容“猎人冷静的声音里有些威胁。”可知,第二段可描写Ben勇敢地阻止男人不要在自己的地方打猎。
2.续写线索:Ben听到枪声,起身查看——发现大树旁有枪——猎人正在猎杀小鸟——Ben大喊阻止猎人,但没用——Ben跑出屋子去阻止猎人
3.词汇激活行为类
①监视:watch over/monitor
②大喊:shout/yell
③离开:leave/go away
情绪类
①使惊吓:startle/frighten
②私人的:private /personal

[高分句型2] He turned around toward the direction where Ben stood, asking “What are you doing here?”(运用了where引导的限定性定语从句和非谓语动词作状语)

The conductor on the podium (指挥台) has no baton (指挥棒), no tailcoat and no musical score, but Android Alter 3 is kicking up a storm as it guides a symphony orchestra's players through their paces.
The robot has a humanoid face, hands and lower arms, which gesture with what could pass for passion as it bounces up and down and rotates during the live performance of Keiichiro Shibuya's opera Scary Beauty in the Emirate of Sharjah.
Video from the recent performance in the Emirate of Sharjah showed the machine turning to face orchestra members and waving its arms. Alter 3 even sang at times.
Shibuya said the involvement of robots in the everyday lives of humans is continually increasing. But, he said he thinks people will need to decide in the future how artificial intelligence can best improve the human experience.
Shibuya added that he believes humans and robots can learn to work together to create beautiful art. "This work is a metaphor of that relations between humans and technology," he said. Shibuya noted that sometimes the music-leading robot can "get crazy", making it difficult for the musicians to keep up. But other times, the humans and machines cooperate very well.
Shibuya said the robots and AI that exist today are "far from complete". He is interested in studying how such incomplete technology can be combined with art.
"I think this is a very exciting idea…We came to see what it looks like and how much is possible," said Anna Kovacevic. Another audience member, who gave his name only as Billum, said after the show, "You know, a human conductor is so much better." Although he said he is interested in AI and looks forward to big developments, he concluded on the project: "The human touch is lost."
4. What does Shibuya think of Alter 3?
A. It is not perfect at present. B. It teams up with humans well.
C. It often makes humans crazy. D. It is better than human conductors.
5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The performance drew mixed reactions.
B. Billum took no interest in the performance.
C. The audience were fascinated by the performance.
D. The audience thought Alter 3 would have a bright future.
6. What is the author's attitude towards the combination of robots and art?
A. Positive B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Critical.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Robot Cooperates with Humans
B. Robot Conducts Human Orchestra
C. The Significance of Robots in Art
D. The Relations Between AI and Humans

Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds? “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
8. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2?
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
9. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months?
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
10. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body?
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A Why Do We Gain Weight?
B. How to Work Out Effectively?
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body?
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain?
D
For people suffering from depression 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?

Ben was awakened by a gunshot. The sharp noise came through the thick stone walls of the house. It was cold in the bedroom and Ben was shaking as he got out of bed. He put on his eyeglasses and went over to the window. The field was covered with white frost. Nothing moved out there in the deep quiet just before sunrise.
Ben wondered where the shot had come from. He thought perhaps he had dreamed he heard a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later, a man came out of the woods. He wore hunting clothes. Suddenly a bird flew upward. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall grass. Safe, Ben thought.
The hunter did not move for a moment,and then he began to follow the bird. Hate for the hunter burned inside Ben. Opening the window, he shouted, “Hey!” His voice cut through the stillness. The hunter stopped, but then continued to follow the bird. Ben shouted again, but this time the hunter did not stop. Then Ben rushed out and moved toward him. The hunter looked back at Ben. Ben had just bought this house in the woods. He wanted to protect everything on his land. He thought that everyone would obey the signs “No Hunting”.
However, he heard another gunshot. This troubled him deeply. How could he stop this hunter? He walked toward the lake. He did not want to fight, but the man must go. He walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do? He could not fight the hunter.
