Eventually,it happens to everyone As we age,even if we're healthy,the heart becomes less
flexible,more stiff and just isn't as 41 in processing oxygen as it used to be.In most
people the first signs show up in the 50s or early 60s.And among people who don't exercise,the
underlying changes can start even sooner.
"Think of a rubber band.In the beginning,it is flexible,but put it in a drawer for 20 years and
it will become dry and easily broken.That's what happens to the heart and blood vessels,"says Dr.
Ben Levine,a sports cardiologist at the University of Texas.And that sort of stiffness can get worse.
he notes,leading to the breathlessness and other symptoms of heart failure,a(n)42of
the heart to effectively pump blood to the lungs or throughout the body.
Fortunately for those in midlife,Levine is finding that even if you haven't been a(n)
43 exerciser,getting in shape now may head off that decline and help44.your
aging heart
The research team recruited individuals between the ages of 45 and 64 who were mostly
sedentary(惯于久坐的)but__45_hcalthy..
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups.The first group engaged in a
program of nonaerobic exercise-basic yoga,balance training and weight training-three times
a week.The other group was assigned a trainer and did-to high-intensity aerobic
exercise for four or more days a week.
After two years,the group doing the higher-intensity exercise saw 47improvements
in heart health.
"We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,"says
Levine.Their hearts processed oxygen more efficiently and were.48 less stiff."The hearts
of those doing less intense routines didn't change,"he says.
"The sweet spot in life to get off the couch and start exercising is in late middle age when the
heart still has plasticity,"Levine says.You may not be able to 49 the aging of the vessels
if you wait.
Anyone considering beginning this,or a similarly strenuous exercise program,Levine says,
should check with a doctor first and ask about individual health issues that might require a less
intense program50..
III.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,
B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
After staying at home one afternoon for a delivery of discounted sink that never came,Valentin
Romanov,a Stockholm IT manager,installed a special lock on his flat's entrance.When no one is
in,deliverymen unlock the door and slip packages inside.Four months on,Mr.Romanoy has
51 his spending online and says he cannot imagine life without in-home deliveries.These
are sweet words for delivery firms and online retailers,Amazon included,that are setting up
52 with lock manufacturers to overcome a big hurdle for e-cammmerce
Traditional deliveries fail so 53 that a parcel is driven to a hone an average of 1.5
times in the Nordic region,says Kenneth Verlage,head of business development at PostNord,a
logistics()giant operating in Denmark,Finland,Norway and Sweden.It is an expensive
54 made worse,he says,by the fact that recipients have still often had to wait for a failed
delivery.Some couriers leave packages on doorsteps,but this55 thefts.Of 1,000
Americans surveyed this year by Shorr,a packaging firm,nearly a third had been victims of"porch
piracy",as this is known.Two-fifths 56 certain online purchases for fear of it.
A number of firms now sell wirelessly connected locks which a courier's delivery staff can
open using a passcode or smartphone app after the 57has issued a temporary authorization,
before leaving home or remotely.Deliveries are filmed with an indoor security camera paired with
the lock.The short yideos are sent to parcel addressees and typically58,comically in Mr.
Romanoy's view,with a jiggle of the door handle from outside to show that the departing delivery
person has locked up.
Amazon began offering in-home deliveries in 37 American cities in November.Shoppers who
have had a special59 and camera installed (costing $199)can select in-home delivery at
checkout.Like most firms offering the service,Amazon is tightlipped about user60.The
boss of August Home,a San Francisco maker of in-home delivery locks,says that already hundreds
of thousands of delivery drivers,dog-walkers,cleaners and Airbnb guests use its app
61 to enter others'homes.
Offerings are62.In 2018 August Home will go to Australia and Britain,and
PostNord will launch in-home delivery in four Nordic countries.Walmart and Sears have tried it;
Sears even tested unattended appliance repairs.Five logistics firms and two Swedish supermarket
chains are trying or using locks from Glue,a firm based in Stockholm,for in-home deliveries.
63 suspect these efforts will not amount to much.Plenty of 64 will be
fearful about theft.Rhino Security Labs,a Seattle computer-security firm,claims it hacked into and
shut off the video in one Amazon lock-and-camera system.In-home deliveries are incompatible
with burglar alarms.And what if an impropetly fenced-off dog or cat slips outside?Or an
heirloom()on display gets knocked over?These are 65questions.But e-commerce
firms have unlocked harder ones.

Section B

unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Jack looked up and saw in the distance red and green navigation lights coming towards them
and knew it must be a naval patrol boat because of its speed.As the humming of the boat's powerful
engines drew closer,Jack bent down.
Jack then let out a frightened cry as the brilliant beam of a searchlight broke the darkness and
swept the fishing boat from head to tail.By its reflected light,Jack could clearly see the similar
looks on the faces of other bent ones.
Jack knew that if the patrol boat came close enough,its men would surely see the people hidden
in the fishing boat.To collect himself,he leaned his head a little so that he could see Derek standing
in the head of the boat,holding the tiller.Derek managed to wave back at the patrol boat as if he
6
had not a care in the world.How imperturbable he was!
Someone on board the patrol boat switched on a loud speaker and a voice,made harsh and thin
by its horn,demanded,"Where are you bound?"
Derek shrugged and shouted back,"Tell me where the fish run and I'll tell you where I am
bound."The noise of idling engines drowned his voice.
"Say again!"barked the speaker.
"Anywhere there's fish!"Derek shouted back.There was a pause.The boats drifted closer to
each other.
“Why aren't you showing navigation lights?”
Jack watched as Derek pretended to look puzzled and leant out over the side as if to see what
they said were true."They must have blown out,"he apologized with a shrug."I'll light them again
as soon as you stop rocking me about like this."
Aboard the patrol boat,the captain was wondering it it would be worthwhile searching this old
fishing boat for stowaways as how many breathing souls could such a shabby boat hide?The radio
suddenly cackled.Abruptly,without another word being exchanged,the light went out and the patrol
boat started its engines,speeding off into the dark,leaving the fishing boat floating about in the
water.
66.Jack let out a scared cry because he
A.saw something in the sea
B.was afraid of being discovered
C.was blinded by the bright lights
D.was scared by the faces of companions
67.The patrol boat captain did not search the fishing boat as he
A.didn't find it worthwhile
B.looked down upon the shabby old fishing boat
C.trusted Derek very much
D.was called to another place via the radio
68.The underlined word "imperturbable"in the passage is closest in meaning to
A.anxious
B.nervous
C.calm
D.sociable
69.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Derek didn't realize that Jack and others hid in the fishing boat.
B.The captain was about to search the fishing boat.
C.The patrol boat approached the fishing boat to inspect illegal goods.

A Rejected Early Piece
Everyone thinks they know Vincent van Gogh until they see "The Potato Eaters".Painted in
1885,it is as far in tone as could be imagined from the blazing sunflowers of his later work.Five
members of a farming household huddle round the table,sharing a meal of potatoes and coffee.The
mood is crowded,the colors mostly muted green and browns.Outside the circle of lamplight the
dark presses in.It was one of the few group scenes he painted,and nearly everyone who saw it in
his lifetime hated it.Van Gogh told his sister that it was the best thing he'd ever done.
This autumn the Van Gogh Muscum in Amsterdam has made it the focus of an exhibition,
under the title"Mistake or Masterpiece?"The painting is spoiled by errors:funny torsos,gazes that
fail to meet.Some may be intentional,but Van Gogh acknowledged others were silly mistakes.Still,
he thought his critics missed the point.With "The Potato Eaters"he was reaching for a new
authenticity,an appreciation of misshapen beauty that refused to romanticize its subjects.
It started with a deadline.Van Gogh's brother Theo,an art dealer in Paris,wrote to ask whether
he had anything for that year's salon.Vincent was living in Brabant,in the southern Netherlands,
8
drawing the local farmers.He had nothing suitable,but threw himself into the project as he was
obsessed with the farmers.He wanted to capture their rough bodies and their honest relationship to
the earth.
The Dutch have a genius for this sort of thing:celebrating the ordinary,often with a nose-
thumbing defiance.You can look back from Van Gogh to the Old Masters,with their minute
attention to cheese,pets and drinking games at the expense of gods and saints.This is what Pieter
Bruegel displays in his"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"the tarmer going about his ploughing,
not disturbed by the tragedy.You can also look ahead from Van Gogh to the simple,repetitive forms
of Piet Mondrian.
The painting wound up hanging over the fireplace of Van Gogh's brother.Anton van Rappard,
a fellow painter,criticized its formal deficiencies so harshly that Van Gogh's friendship with him
never recovered.The next year he moved to France and discovered the Impressionists,and his
palette exploded into the kaleidoscope familiar from his later work.Though Van Gogh may not have
intended it,that contrast makes "The Potato Eaters"feel like a judgment on the moralism of Dutch
society.The refreshing Dutch embrace of the ordinary goes along with a sometimes oppressive
conformism.The country's unofficial slogan is doe normaal:don't be egotistical,act normally.Yet
its greatest geniuses,including Van Gogh,have been those who couldn't.
73.What can we learn about the painting "The Potato Eaters"?
A.It's the best group scene Van Gogh painted.
B.Almost everyone who has seen the painting hates it.
C.It boasts a similar tone with the artist's later works.
D.The painting was criticized for its silly mistakes.
74.The Dutch embrace of the ordinary can be seen in
A Van Gogh's reluctance to accept the criticism on his work
B.the development of styles from Van Gogh to Mondrian
C.Old Masters'focus on everyday scenes in their paintings
D.Pieter Bruegel's vivid depiction of the tragic fall of Icarus
75.The reason why Van Gogh valued "The Potato Eaters"so much might be that
A.the painting marked an important transition in the tone of his paintings
B.he intended viewers to identify with those who valued their fruit of labor
C.it mirrored his genuine appreciation of those farmers,raw yet beautiful
D.he wanted to defend it against the criticism that clearly missed the point
76.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Impressionists are greatly influenced by Van Gogh's bold use of colors.
B.Vincent van Gogh's later work goes against Dutch society's moral values.
C.The Dutch painters'celebrating the ordinary is a rebellion against conformism.
D.Only those who don't act normally can succeed in an oppressive country.

Section C
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.
Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.
There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then.
B.Instead,it came from intuition and inspiration.
C.For Einstein,it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements.
D.Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music.
E.My new discovery is the result of musical perception.
F.Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.
Einstein's Opinions on Creative Thinking
"The greatest scientists are artists as well,"said Albert Einstein,one of the greatest physicists
and an amateur pianist and violinist.
For Einstein,insight did not come from logic or mathematics./7.As he told one
friend,"When I examine myself and my methods of thought,I find that the gift of imagination has
meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge.All great achievements of
science must start from intuitive knowledge.Imagination is more important than knowledge.
But how did art differ from science for Einstein?Surprisingly,it wasn't the content of an idea,
or its subject,that determined whether something was art or science,but how the idea was expressed.
If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic,then it is science.If it is
communicated and recognized intuitively,then it is art.78 That's why he said that great
scientists were also artists.Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics
conference in Kvoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his
problems and found words,logical symbols or mathematical equations later.
79'If I were not a physicist,"he once said,"I would probably be a musician.I often
think in music and I see my life in terms of music.I get most joy in life out of music.Whenever I
feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work,I would bury
myself in music,and that would usually solve all my difficulties."
Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial
and structural aspects."The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving
force behind this intuition.My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six.80
”said Einstein.
