热点完阅语法填空综合训练（7） A People are always 1. ___________ (talk) about ‘the problem of youth’. If there is one---which I take leave to doubt—then it is older people 2._____________ create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings---people just like their elders. There is only one 3.______________(different) between an old man 4.___________ a young one: the young man has a 5.________________(glory) future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is 6._____________ the rub is. When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain---that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very 7. ______________(please) to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, 8._____________(be) a problem gives you a certain 9._______________(identify), and that is one of the 10.______________(thing) the young are 11._____________(busy) engaged in 12. ______________(seek). I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not 13.______________(anxiety) social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to like them with life, and the origins of things. It’s as if they were, in some sense, cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban 14. ________________(creature). All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, ill—mannered, presumptuous or fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary clichés about respect for elders—as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong. B In high school, I was friends with a lot of athletes. The football, track and wrestling teams were filled with people I called friends. Most of them or another benefited from their time in sports. But unfortunately, I can't say the same for those who participated in competitive bodybuilding. Competitive bodybuilders aim to have unusually large bodies, with less of a focus on fitness and overall health. The practice of working hard for such large bodies can lead to many health issues. Besides the training injuries common in most strength training disciplines, too much lifting puts you at risk of aortic （主动脉的）tears, which can be deadly. Mismanaged diets can also make bodybuilders lack essential vitamins and nutrients. Many supplements, both legal and controlled, have detrimental effects on the body when used in excess. Pre-workout supplements, for example, are often filled with caffeine and other performance-enhancing additives （添加剂）. Also, pre-workout supplements can become dangerous in large doses and cause side-effects. Bodybuilding can also lead to the development of eating disorders. Bryan Calderon, a young athlete who went to dangerous extremes to achieve a better physique （体形），expressed his struggles with eating disorders during that time. Bryan said, “My average net worth of calories every day for four months straight was 400 calories a day. " He also would “run about five miles every day” to burn the most calories. This behavior began taking a toll on Bryan's health. One morning, he explained he “couldn't stand for 30 minutes” after his leg gave out from underneath him. Before competitions, this sort of behavior was common among young bodybuilders. Limiting their caloric intake to the equivalent of “a cheese stick and yogurt," they would lose fat rapidly while running every day. However, it didn't stop there. Bryan witnessed some bodybuilders fasting for days before a show in order to have a better physique. This greatly harmed their health. To conclude, we should exercise for fitness, and we should say “no" to unhealthy bodybuilding. 1. What does the author think of competitive bodybuilding? A. It has benefited many people. B. It is hard for athletes to do well in. C. It can put one's health at great risk. D. It is more popular than many sports. 2. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Harmful. B. Unknown. C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected. 3. Why does the author tell the story of Bryan Calderon? A. To stress the importance of nutrition. B. To present how he achieved a better physique. C. To prove the danger of eating disorders. D. To show bodybuilding can cause eating disorders. 4. What does the author intend to tell us? A. We should have a healthy diet. B. We should avoid overdoing anything. C. We should choose sports suitable for us. D. We should avoid competitive bodybuilding. C Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees （黑猩猩）and bonobos are two kinds of apes that are closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. Scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans can understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. For the videos, the researchers chose 10 of the most common gestures used by chimpanzees and bonobos. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. That’s twice as good as people would be expected to do by chance. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the gesture of wiping the mouth, which people correctly guessed meant “give me that food”. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it's not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor. Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes 1. What did the researchers want to know through such a study? A. If humans know what apes’ gestures mean. B. How apes make them understood by humans. C. How apes communicate with each other. D. If apes can play games like humans. 2. How did the researchers do their research? A. They did experiments in the lab. B. They took advantage of existing data. C. They carried out a large online survey. D. They created a game on the Internet. 3. What does an ape intend to do if it wipes its mouth? A. Share food. B. Ask for food. C. Make its mouth clean. D. Eat something secretly. 4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The same natural abilities of humans as apes B. The development of humans and apes. C. The communication between humans and apes. D. The likely reasons humans can understand apes' gestures. D While stress is an unavoidable aspect of life, studies continue to show too much stress can have a bad impact on both health and well-being. More specifically, excess stress can lead to high blood pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers from the Universities of Maynooth and Limerick set out to better understand how reactions to stressful events impact our future health, as well as if there are any factors that can play key stress-buffering (缓解压力的)roles. The research team suggests that previous research has shown that gratitude and affect-balance (balance of positive to negative emotions) play key stress-buffering roles. However, up until now there have been few studies examining the impact of these variables on cardiovascular (心血管的)recovery from severe psychological stress. Researchers chose to focus on this consideration, as well as whether or not affect-balance moderates the relationship between gratitude and cardiovascular reactions to severe psychological stress. The actual research portion of this project took place at Maynooth University and involved a total of 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 women) between the ages of 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress among the participants, while researchers measured cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to the stress. The ensuing results reveal that a state of gratitude predicts lower systolic blood pressure responses throughout the stress-testing period. This means, researchers say, that gratitude promotes a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from severe psychological stress. The team also found that affect-balance increases the effects of grateful feelings. In conclusion, researchers believe these findings hold clinical （临床的）usefulness. There are many low-cost ways to develop grateful feelings that can help promote improved well-being. For instance, one earlier study found cardiac patients who make use of gratitude journals have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not. Those earlier projects, in combination with these latest findings, strongly suggest that gratitude is a useful tool in the fight against stress and poor cardiovascular health. 1. What may high blood pressure result in according to paragraph 1? A. A headache. B. A sleep disorder. C. Heart disease. D. Difficult breathing. 2. How might the participants feel about the lab tasks? A. Moved. B. Thankful. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious. 3. Why does the author give the example in the last paragraph? A. To show gratitude is easy to practice. B. To suggest we should learn more ways to relieve stress. C. To explain why the findings are meaningful. D. To show hospitals should use more treatment ways. 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. We Should Deal with Stress Wisely B. We Should Realize the Harm of Excess Stress C. Excess Stress Can Cause High Blood Pressure D. Gratitude Can Help Relieve Stress to Improve Heart Health E All the kinds of sea turtles found in the Philippines are endangered.
