C Exercise is beneficial to our health in many ways,but it's not that effective when it comes to losing weight.Now we have the best evidence explaining why this is.People who start to exercise more burn extra calories.However,the actual weight they lose is far less than the amount expected given the extra calories burned. An analysis of 14 trials has found that our bodies burn less energy for other functions to make up for the calories used during exercise.This effeet becomes even stronger when people both eat less and exercise more-and in some cases,it can completely neutralize the extra energy spent exercising.That means dieting alone leads to weight loss,but adding exercise may not help lose any more weight Herma Pontzer at Duke University says pairing exercise with diet makes the body compensate(补偿)more:“It's still good for you,.just not for weight loss..”When he studied Hadza hunter-gatherers in Tanzania,he was amazed they used no more total energy than desk workers.This discovery led Pontzer to propose,in 2015,that our bodies have developed to limit how much energy we burn,and compensate for greater physical activity 【高二·第二学期5月份阶段书 by saving energy in other ways. Exereise type matters too..Compensation only occurs with aerobic exercises(有氧运动) like running.With weightlifting,energy use went up more than expected-for example, those consuming 200 extra kilocalories lifting weights.saw a 250-kilocalorie rise in total consumption.Pontzer says measuring weightlifting energy use is hard,so findings need to be treated with caution ()but he guesses extra energy goes to muscle repair and building While Pontzer sees the findings as very clear evidence of compensation,others are still not convinced.Dylan Thompson notes study limitations,such as extra exercise replacing daily activities like gardening.He and Javier Gonzalez,another professor,at the University of Bath agree more studies.are needed."We really need carefully designed randomized controlled trials in humans,"Thompson said. 28.What does the underlined word "neutralize"mean in paragraph 2? A.Cancel out.B.Cut down.C.Add up.D.Use up. 29.What surprised Pontzer when he studied hunter-gatherers? A.They led a less active life than expected. B.They could save energy in a unique way. C.They dieted in a way benefiting weight loss. D.They consumed as much energy as office workers. 30.What does the example of weightlifting show? A.Total energy use is hard to calculate. B.Muscle repair needs no extra calories. C.Aerobic exercise benefits muscle building. D.Energy compensation varies with exercise types. 31.What is the Dylan Thompson's attitude towards the energy compensation theory? A.Dismissive.B.Favourable.C.Doubtful.D.Objective. D Restrictions on vapes are multiplying.Belgium banned sales of throwaway vapes on January 1st.France adopted a similar law on February 24th.Other bans may soon come into force in England,Scotland,Wales and New Zealand.More than 30 countries 考试英语·第3页（共6页）】 including Brazil and India have outlawed all vaping products.Are such measures justified? Vaping clearly carries risks.Starting in 2019,America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)began to track a new disease known as EVALI("e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury").As of February 18th 2020,the CDC had identified 2,807 admissions to hospital for EVALI in America.At least 68 of those patients had died. Swift action arose..Researchers pointed fingers at vitamin E acetate(醋酸酯)，a skincare oil that was added to many unlawful masses of vaping liquids as a thickening agent. When vitamin E acetate is heated,highly poisonous gas is produced.Many areas outlawed any addition of vitamin E acetate to vape liquids,and crackdowns on black markets followed.EVALI cases fell greatly;the CDC has not detected a revival. Yet health authorities believe EVALI might also be caused by other substances in vape, ineluding those that are produced legally.In a landmark analysis of four popular vaping liquids published in Chemical Research in Toxicology in 2021,a team at Johns Hopkins University labelled six ingredients as potentially harmful.Earlier studies had found vaping mixtures that used heavy metals such as lead. There are other reasons to be concerned.First,as vaping rose in popularity only in the past dozen or so years,it remains to be seen whether cancer cases could arise.Lab mice have developed cancers after being subjected to vape aerosols ()The second is that vape aerosols have been found to damage human tissue,including DNA. 32.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A.The health risks of vaping. B.The trend of banning vapes. C.The distribution of vapes sale.D.The measures of promoting vapes. 33.What is the main reason for the global bans on vapes? A.The decline in traditional cigarette sales. B.The high cost of regulating vaping products. C.The environmental issues caused by e-cigarettes. D.The outbreak of EVALI linked to vaping products. 34.What directly resulted from banning vitamin E acetate? A.EVALI cases dropped sharply.B.CDC stopped tracking EVALI. 【高二·第二学期5月份阶 C.More countries banned all vapes.D.Other harmful substances were found. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Vaping is not as popular as before. B.Health risks by vaping may stillexist. C.Lab mice are likely to spread diseases. D.Vape aerosols can cure damaged human tissue. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Helping others can be one of the most meaningful things you do,but it can also take a lot out of you,making you lose sight of the fact that you need support,too.You might think pushing through is normal.36 You need to learn how to invest in yourself and pay attention to your mental well-being. Burnout doesn't always look like exhaustion. Burnout isn't always obvious.37 It can be irritability ()lack of focus,or feeling like you're disconnected from the work you used to enjoy.Being aware of the emotional signs early makes it easier to step in and make changes.That might mean adjusting your schedule,taking breaks when you can,or just giving yourself permission to unplug after a long day. Learning something new boosts mental energy. Doing the same routine every day can start to feel dull.38 Adding something fresh to your day,like learning a new technique or exploring a new topic,can bring your energy back.A few minutes a day reading an article,watching a short tutorial,or engaging in a new task can refresh your mindset. 39 If you want to know how to invest in yourself,having control over your schedule can make a huge difference in how you feel day to day.When you're able to choose how and when you complete tasks,it reduces stress and helps you feel more balanced. Small wins matter for motivation. Sometimes big goals feel out of reach.That's why small wins are so important.Checking 段性考试英语·第4页（共6页）】 something off your list-even if it's just attending a class-builds positive drive.40 Over time,those small wins lead to larger milestones. A.Purpose is a powerful mental health tool B.Time flexibility leads to emotional stability. C.It doesn't just show up as physical tiredness D.Sometimes it can mean saying yes to extra tasks. E.When that happens,your interest and motivation can fade. F.But the truth is,constantly putting yourself last isn't sustainable G.Each time you complete a step,you prove to yourself that progress is happening. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 These days,Anya Culling is considered one of the UK's fastest female marathon runners.But until 2019,running was 41 a hobby Culling had picked up for her mental health.
