Phil White has just returned from an 18, 000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised£70, 000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White’s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l, 300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l, 000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
4. When Phil White returned from his trip, he ________.
A. broke the world record B. collected money for Oxfam
C. destroyed several bikes D. travelled about 1, 300 hours
5. What does the underlined word “epic” in Paragraph I most probably mean?
A. Very long and difficult. B. Very slow but exciting.
C. Very smooth but tiring. D. Very lonely and confusing.
6. During his journey around the world, Phil White ________.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia D. had a team of people who travelled with him
7. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?
A. Imaginative. B. Honest.
C. Easygoing. D. Determined.
C
We carry smartphones everywhere, taking them to bed and to the bathroom. And for many people, their smartphone is the first thing they see in the morning. More than 90 percent of the world’s population own a smartphone and many couldn’t manage without one.
But most health concerns about phones usually focus on traffic accidents they can cause while driving, the possible harm of radio wave or just what terrible effects they can have on your work or study. The risk of virus infection from your phone is much less of a concern— but it's very real.
A 2019 study found that most people in the U. K. use their phones on the toilet and three in four Americans use their phones while on the toilet. So it’s not surprising that our mobile phones have been found to be dirtier than toilet seats.
It’s been believed that people touch their phone hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day. And while many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, cooking, cleaning or gardening, we are much less likely to consider washing our hands after touching our phones.
Hands pick up bacteria and viruses all the time and are recognized as a track of acquiring infection. So are the phones we touch. They can be infected with many different kinds of disease-producing bacteria. These bacteria can cause skin, organ and breathing infections that can be life-threatening.
Indeed, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting mobile phones, which, along with door handles, cash machines and lift buttons, are considered reservoirs of infection.
Even if you clean your phone with antibacterial tissues or alcohol, these viruses can survive for several days on hard plastic surfaces, indicating that virus killing must be a regular process.
Use alcohol-based liquid. They need to contain at least 70 percent alcohol to kill viruses on phone covers and touch screens, and do it every day if possible. Do keep liquids away from connection points or other phoneopenings. And get in the habit of putting your phone away after you have cleaning it, then washing your hands.
8. Which of harms from the smartphone draws the least attention of the users?
A It makes its user lose interest in anything else.
B. The viruses on it can make its user sick.
C. Accidents will happen if a driver uses it when driving.
D. The radio wave does harm to its user.
9. According to the text, what do touching cellphones and gardening have in common?
A. Both make your hands dirty. B. Both needn't have a good plan.
C. Both offer you a good experience. D. Both do good to your health.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. It's necessary for us to clean cellphones regularly. B. The right ways to clean our cellphones.
C. Never forget to wash hands after touching phones. D. We should take care with phone washing.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A news report. C. A life story. D. A health article.
D
As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen (氧气) as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band (橡皮筋). In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group took part in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise — balance training and weight training — three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw obvious improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility, ” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all. ”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
12. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A The right way of exercising. B. The results of a heart ill.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart.
13. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A. Diet plan. B. Professional background.
C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition.
14. What does Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
15. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Doing further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.

The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.

Phil White has just returned from an 18, 000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised£70, 000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White’s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l, 300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l, 000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
4. When Phil White returned from his trip, he ________.
A. broke the world record B. collected money for Oxfam
C. destroyed several bikes D. travelled about 1, 300 hours
5. What does the underlined word “epic” in Paragraph I most probably mean?
A. Very long and difficult. B. Very slow but exciting.

A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia D. had a team of people who travelled with him

We carry smartphones everywhere, taking them to bed and to the bathroom. And for many people, their smartphone is the first thing they see in the morning. More than 90 percent of the world’s population own a smartphone and many couldn’t manage without one.
But most health concerns about phones usually focus on traffic accidents they can cause while driving, the possible harm of radio wave or just what terrible effects they can have on your work or study. The risk of virus infection from your phone is much less of a concern— but it's very real.
A 2019 study found that most people in the U. K. use their phones on the toilet and three in four Americans use their phones while on the toilet. So it’s not surprising that our mobile phones have been found to be dirtier than toilet seats.
It’s been believed that people touch their phone hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day. And while many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, cooking, cleaning or gardening, we are much less likely to consider washing our hands after touching our phones.
Hands pick up bacteria and viruses all the time and are recognized as a track of acquiring infection. So are the phones we touch. They can be infected with many different kinds of disease-producing bacteria. These bacteria can cause skin, organ and breathing infections that can be life-threatening.
Indeed, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting mobile phones, which, along with door handles, cash machines and lift buttons, are considered reservoirs of infection.
Even if you clean your phone with antibacterial tissues or alcohol, these viruses can survive for several days on hard plastic surfaces, indicating that virus killing must be a regular process.
Use alcohol-based liquid. They need to contain at least 70 percent alcohol to kill viruses on phone covers and touch screens, and do it every day if possible. Do keep liquids away from connection points or other phoneopenings. And get in the habit of putting your phone away after you have cleaning it, then washing your hands.
8. Which of harms from the smartphone draws the least attention of the users?
A. It makes its user lose interest in anything else.
B. The viruses on it can make its user sick.
C. Accidents will happen if a driver uses it when driving.
D. The radio wave does harm to its user.
9. According to the text, what do touching cellphones and gardening have in common?
A. Both make your hands dirty. B. Both needn't have a good plan.
C. Both offer you a good experience. D. Both do good to your health.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. It's necessary for us to clean cellphones regularly. B. The right ways to clean our cellphones.
C. Never forget to wash hands after touching phones. D. We should take care with phone washing.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A news report. C. A life story. D. A health article.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲智能手机带来健康问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“The risk of virus infection from your phone is much less of a concern— but it’s very real.(从手机感染病毒的风险要小得多,但这是非常真实的。)”可知,手机用户很少担心手机上面的病毒会让他们生病。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“And while many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom, cooking, cleaning or gardening, we are much less likely to consider washing our hands after touching our phones.(虽然我们中的许多人在上完厕所、做饭、打扫卫生或园艺后定期洗手,但我们不太可能在接触手机后考虑洗手。)”可知,园艺和触摸手机后都可以让我们的手脏。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Use alcohol-based liquid. They need to contain at least 70 percent alcohol to kill viruses on phone covers and touch screens, and do it every day if possible. Do keep liquids away from connection points or other phoneopenings. And get in the habit of putting your phone away after you have cleaning it, then washing your hands.(使用含酒精的液体。它们需要含有至少70%的酒精才能杀死手机壳和触摸屏上的病毒,如果可能的话,每天都要这样做。一定要让液体远离连接点或其他电话开口。养成一个习惯,在清洁完手机后把它收起来,然后洗手。)”可知,本段主要介绍正确清理手机的方法。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第六段“Indeed, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting mobile phones, which, along with door handles, cash machines and lift buttons, are considered reservoirs of infection.(事实上,美国疾病控制和预防中心有清洁和消毒手机的指导方针,手机与门把手、提款机和电梯按钮一起被认为是感染源。)”以及上下文可知,这是一篇关于健康的文章。故选D项。

As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen (氧气) as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band (橡皮筋). In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group took part in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise — balance training and weight training — three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw obvious improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility, ” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all. ”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
12. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A. The right way of exercising. B. The results of a heart ill.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart.
13. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A. Diet plan. B. Professional background.
C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition.
14. What does Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
15. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Doing further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了锻炼对于心脏的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Think of a rubber band (橡皮筋). In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. (“想想橡皮筋。一开始,它很灵活,但把它放在抽屉里20年,它就会变干,很容易坏,”德克萨斯大学的心脏专家本·莱文博士说。这就是心脏的情况。)”可知,莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first group took part in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise — balance training and weight training—three times a week. (第一组参加非有氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练——每周三次。第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。)”可知,第一组参加非有氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练;第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。故两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw obvious improvements in heart health.(第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。两年后,第二组的心脏健康状况有了显著改善。)”和第四段中的““We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. (莱文说:“我们把这些50岁的心脏的时钟拨回30或35岁的心脏。”)”可知,莱文的研究发现了通过有氧运动,中年人的心脏会变得更年轻。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.( 但这项研究的规模很小,需要在更大的人群中重复进行,以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响。)”可知,Nieca Goldberg博士指出这项研究的规模很小,由此建议在更大的人群中进行进一步的研究。故选C。

The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.

【答案】One possible answer
It was late in the evening when she got home. The whole family was waiting for her. It was still snowing hard outside. Seeing the white frost on his stepmother’s face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently. Dinner was ready and Abe’s brothers and sisters went to lay the table. But Mrs. Lincoln was not in a hurry. She carefully took out a package from her bag and started to unwrap it.
Abe’s eyes became very wide. He fixed his eyes upon the package and watched eagerly. As Mrs. Lincoln tore the package open, a book suddenly came into sight. Little Abe couldn’t help crying out in joy! He ran to get it and found it was an old story book. He couldn’t wait one more minute and began to read it. Soon, he was so absorbed in reading the book that he totally forgot the meal on the table.
