And the first thing coming up is a reminder to you all out there about Canadian Clean Air Day, which is in 10 days, nearly a month before Canada Day. It is a chance for Canadians everywhere to focus on the problems of air pollution. How many Canadians do you think die each year because of air pollution? 2,000? 3,000? Well, the figure is a shocking 5,000 or so. It’s this concern with your health that is the driving force behind the government campaign to support Clean Air Day. So what causes air pollution? Well, the burning coal to produce heat is one of the factors. A lot of black smoke coming out of the factories also adds to the air pollution. But here in Canada, more than half of the air pollution is caused by gas-powered cars. And it is the poisonous chemicals in the polluted air that are the main causes of health problems. We’re all at risk. However, fortunately, researchers have already come up with a few suggestions on how to improve the situation. And now I’ll explain to you some of them. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Best English Grammar Books In 2024 To learn English grammar better, it is necessary to choose a grammar book responsibly.

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful. It was my twelfth year of dancing. I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈编导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well. With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to the backstage area filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out. As I walked up to the judge to receive my gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that I could let everything go and just dance what I felt at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. 24. What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year? A. Her successful career. B. A disappointment as before. C. A proof of her potential. D. Her teacher’s pride. 25. How did Shanda help the author? A. By awakening her passion for dancing. B. By entering her in a competition. C. By coaching her for longer hours. D. By offering her help with money. 26. How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage? A. Proud B. Relaxed. C. Confused. D. Nervous. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Success lies in patience. B. A good teacher really matters. C. Fame is what the young long for. D. A youth is to be treated with respect. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者在舞蹈路上得到编导珊达鼓励，重拾热爱，在舞台上找到舞蹈真正意义的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.(我原以为它会和往年一样：陷于空虚，被人遗忘，没有老师或朋友相信我真的有取得出色成绩的潜力。)”可知，作者原本觉得第十二年的舞蹈生活会像从前一样令人失望。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. (她激励我尽全力练习，在我想要放弃时督促我坚持，鼓励我，并让我明白舞蹈真正的意义。)”以及尾段中的“Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.(多亏珊达，舞蹈不再只是我的爱好，而成了一份热爱。)”可知，珊达唤醒了作者对舞蹈的热忱。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage.(当我颤抖着踏上灯火璀璨的大舞台时，心里十分紧张。)”可知，走上舞台时作者内心紧张不安。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Shanda showed me that I could let everything go and just dance what I felt at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought.(珊达让我明白，我可以放下一切，随心起舞。在经历了所有人对我的种种质疑之后，我选择相信自己，不再在意别人的看法。)”可知，正是良师的引导改变了作者，由此可见一位好老师十分重要。 C For years, you’ve been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable. One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives. Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way! Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1,000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.” 28. What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest? A. Stress caused many deaths over eight years. B. Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence. C. It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems. D. Those without stress usually live long and happy lives. 29. What do we know about stress from paragraph 3? A. Stress is harmful to the brain. B. Stress can cause danger. C. Stress can be a threat to us. D. Stress can lead to timely action. 30. What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study? A. People without stress spend more time caring others. B. Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis. C. Stress can be avoided by helping others. D. People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress. 31. Which may be the best title for the text? A. Stress Is Not Your Enemy B. Man Can Conquer Stress C. We Need Remove Stress D. Stress Is Nearly Harmless 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文通过科学研究得出压力本身不会给我们带来问题，我们对压力的态度影响了生活。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives.(一项研究对30000人进行了为期八年的跟踪调查，并测量了他们的压力水平。那些认为压力有害的人的死亡率高于那些处于压力下，但不承认所谓的有负面影响的人。后一组人更健康，他们中的许多人生活幸福且长寿)”可知，死亡率高的测试组中的人们认为压力有害，另一组则不认为压力有不良影响，由测试的研究结果可见，造成问题的不是压力，而是我们对压力的态度。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way!(当它感觉到危险时，它会提醒大脑，从而产生恐惧或压力的感觉。当人们需要注意和采取行动时，这些感觉会给他们一个警告信息。例如，当看到一辆超速行驶的汽车时，该区域会快速地释放出信号，我们立即知道要让开！)”可知，压力感(feelings of stress)会给人们发出信息，从而让人做出应变，及时采取行动。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies.(每发生一次重大压力事件，如家庭悲剧或金融危机，死亡风险都会增加30%。但对于那些花时间帮助他人的人来说，与压力相关的死亡人数没有增加，即使是那些曾经经历过个人悲剧的人)”及“Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort.(追求生活的意义比避免生活中的不幸对你的健康更好)”可知，追求生活意义的人承受的压力更小。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。本文通过科学研究得出压力本身不会给我们带来问题，我们对压力的态度影响了生活，结合最后一句“Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.(追求在生活中创造意义的东西，然后相信自己能够处理随之而来的压力)”可知，“Stress Is Not Your Enemy (压力不是你的敌人)”适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 D Research often points to exercise as a good way to improve mental health, but a recent study from the University of Georgia suggests that it’s not just physical movement that affects mental health. It’s how, where and why you exercise that makes the difference. “In previous research, research on physical activity has focused on how long someone exercises for or how many calories are burned,” said Patrick O’Connor, a co-author of the study. “The amount of exercise has been the main way researchers have tried to understand how physical activity might influence mental health, while whether those minutes are spent exercising with a friend or as part of a game has been ignored.” Many studies find that people who take part in regular leisure-time physical activity, like going for a run, taking a yoga class or biking for fun, tend to report lower levels of anxiety. But while leisure-time physical activity offers better mental health results, these benefits may vary greatly depending on the environment of the activity, according to the researchers. “For example, if a soccer player runs down the field and kicks the game-winning ball, their mental health is fantastic,” O’Connor said. “In contrast, if you do exactly the same exercise but miss the goal and people are blaming (责备) you, you are likely to feel very different.” Many studies also showed that adopting regular exercise routines improved mental health, especially for individuals with existing mental health disorders. However, these studies were typically based on similar samples (抽样), so the results are probably not suitable for more diverse groups. “If we’re trying to improve people’s mental health through exercise, then not only do we need to think about the amount and the mode, but we also need to ask: What is the context?” O’Connor said. For O’Connor, the key point is clear. It’s not just movement that matters. It’s the meaning, the context and the experience of the activity that determine the influence of exercise on mental health. 32. What has been largely unnoticed in previous research? A. The social environment of physical activity. B. The time length and type of the workout. C. The number of calories burned during exercise. D. The physical health outcomes of regular exercise. 33. What does O’Connor suggest researchers do? A. Avoid studying people with mental health disorders. B. Focus more on the amount of exercise in future studies. C. Pay attention to the context of exercise in their research. D. Prove what is the real effect of exercise on mental health. 34. What does the underlined word “matters” mean in the last paragraph? A. being important B. being meaningful C. being beneficial D. being amazing 35. Which situation best matches the “context effect” described in the text? A. Lily buys lighter running shoes and runs faster. B. Ben sleeps nine hours the night after swimming. C. Mary loses 2 kg after keeping jogging 5 km every day for a month. D. Tom feels great cycling with friends but bored when cycling alone. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项新研究，指出影响心理健康的不只是运动量，还有运动的背景与体验。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The amount of exercise has been the main way researchers have tried to understand how physical activity might influence mental health, while whether those minutes are spent exercising with a friend or as part of a game has been ignored.(一直以来，研究人员主要依靠运动量来探究体育活动对心理健康的影响，却忽略了这些运动时间是和朋友一起锻炼，还是作为游戏的一部分度过的。)”可知，以往研究很大程度上忽视了体育活动的社交环境。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If we’re trying to improve people’s mental health through exercise, then not only do we need to think about the amount and the mode, but we also need to ask: What is the context?(如果我们想通过运动改善人们的心理健康，那么我们不仅要考虑运动量和方式，还要问：这是什么样的背景？)”可知，奥康纳建议研究者在研究中关注运动所处的背景。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“It’s not just movement that matters. It’s the meaning, the context and the experience of the activity that determine the influence of exercise on mental health.(不仅仅是运动本身matters。活动的意义、背景和体验决定了锻炼对心理健康的影响。)”可知，此处强调不仅仅是运动本身“重要”，更重要的是其背后的意义和环境，因此，画线单词暗示“being important”符合语境。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But while leisure-time physical activity offers better mental health results, these benefits may vary greatly depending on the environment of the activity, according to the researchers. (研究人员表示，虽然休闲体育活动能够改善心理健康，但这类益处会因活动所处环境的不同而存在很大差异。)”可知，和朋友骑车心情很好，独自骑车感到乏味，体现运动背景带来的不同感受，符合背景效应。 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。 Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? ____36____. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. ____37____. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). ____38____. And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. ____39____. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. ____40____. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊) strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. A. Walking backward might help you. B. Your memory might just thank you for it. C. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. D. Sometimes, the best way forward really is a step back. E. In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. F. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. G. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. F 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了研究表明向后走有助于提升短期记忆力，且对身体健康有益，如健身燃脂、保护膝盖与脊柱。 【36题详解】 上文“Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam?(考试前有没有快速回忆信息的方法？)”提出考前快速回忆信息的疑问。空后“Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.(英国罗汉普顿大学的科学家表示，这项活动能帮助人们提高短期记忆力)”指出某项活动可提高短期记忆。空处需引出该活动。选项A“Walking backward might help you(向后走或许能帮到你)”直接点明“向后走”这一活动，承接疑问并引出下文研究，符合语境。 【37题详解】 上文“After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups.(观看视频后，志愿者被分成三组)”说明志愿者分为三组。空后“The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place.(第二组向后走10米。第三组站在原地)”分别介绍第二、三组安排。空处应介绍第一组安排。选项C“One group was told to walk 10 meters forward(一组被要求向前走10米)”正好补全第一组情况，与后文形成顺序对应，符合语境。 【38题详解】 上文“When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度).(当你向后走时，你从不同角度看事物)”说明向后走带来视角差异。空处需说明该差异的作用。选项F“This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past(这种差异帮助人们回忆过去发生的事)”中“This difference”指代前文“different angle”，解释向后走助记忆的原因，与段落主题“记忆”呼应，符合语境。 【39题详解】 上文“And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body.(向后走对我们身体其余部分也有益)”总述对身体的好处。空后“This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.(据《新科学家》称，这能提高体能。向后走短时间内消耗更多能量、燃烧更多卡路里)”说明向后走更耗能量。选项G“Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging(与向前走相比，向后走更具挑战性)”承上启下，解释为何更耗能、更能健身，符合语境。 【40题详解】 空后“It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊) strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back.(据美国俄勒冈大学研究人员，它对经常膝盖疼的人有帮助。向后走还能强健脊柱，缓解下背疼痛)”说明向后走对膝盖、脊柱有益。选项E“In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees(此外，向后走对膝盖压力更小)”直接点明对膝盖益处，与后文“pain in their knees”紧密衔接，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分50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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在机读卡上将该项涂黑。 Last year, a community theater decided to find someone to act in the production of The Sound of Music.

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful. It was my twelfth year of dancing. I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈编导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well. With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to the backstage area filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out. As I walked up to the judge to receive my gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that I could let everything go and just dance what I felt at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. 24. What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year? A. Her successful career. B. A disappointment as before. C. A proof of her potential. D. Her teacher’s pride. 25.

How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage? A. Proud B. Relaxed. C. Confused. D. Nervous. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Success lies in patience. B. A good teacher really matters. C. Fame is what the young long for. D. A youth is to be treated with respect. C For years, you’ve been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable. One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives. Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way! Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1,000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.” 28. What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest? A. Stress caused many deaths over eight years. B. Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence. C. It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems. D. Those without stress usually live long and happy lives. 29. What do we know about stress from paragraph 3? A. Stress is harmful to the brain. B. Stress can cause danger. C. Stress can be a threat to us. D. Stress can lead to timely action. 30. What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study? A. People without stress spend more time caring others. B. Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis. C. Stress can be avoided by helping others. D. People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress. 31. Which may be the best title for the text? A. Stress Is Not Your Enemy B. Man Can Conquer Stress C. We Need Remove Stress D. Stress Is Nearly Harmless D Research often points to exercise as a good way to improve mental health, but a recent study from the University of Georgia suggests that it’s not just physical movement that affects mental health. It’s how, where and why you exercise that makes the difference. “In previous research, research on physical activity has focused on how long someone exercises for or how many calories are burned,” said Patrick O’Connor, a co-author of the study. “The amount of exercise has been the main way researchers have tried to understand how physical activity might influence mental health, while whether those minutes are spent exercising with a friend or as part of a game has been ignored.” Many studies find that people who take part in regular leisure-time physical activity, like going for a run, taking a yoga class or biking for fun, tend to report lower levels of anxiety. But while leisure-time physical activity offers better mental health results, these benefits may vary greatly depending on the environment of the activity, according to the researchers. “For example, if a soccer player runs down the field and kicks the game-winning ball, their mental health is fantastic,” O’Connor said. “In contrast, if you do exactly the same exercise but miss the goal and people are blaming (责备) you, you are likely to feel very different.” Many studies also showed that adopting regular exercise routines improved mental health, especially for individuals with existing mental health disorders. However, these studies were typically based on similar samples (抽样), so the results are probably not suitable for more diverse groups. “If we’re trying to improve people’s mental health through exercise, then not only do we need to think about the amount and the mode, but we also need to ask: What is the context?” O’Connor said. For O’Connor, the key point is clear. It’s not just movement that matters. It’s the meaning, the context and the experience of the activity that determine the influence of exercise on mental health. 32. What has been largely unnoticed in previous research? A. The social environment of physical activity. B. The time length and type of the workout. C. The number of calories burned during exercise. D. The physical health outcomes of regular exercise. 33. What does O’Connor suggest researchers do? A. Avoid studying people with mental health disorders. B. Focus more on the amount of exercise in future studies. C. Pay attention to the context of exercise in their research. D. Prove what is the real effect of exercise on mental health. 34. What does the underlined word “matters” mean in the last paragraph? A. being important B. being meaningful C. being beneficial D. being amazing 35. Which situation best matches the “context effect” described in the text? A. Lily buys lighter running shoes and runs faster. B. Ben sleeps nine hours the night after swimming. C. Mary loses 2 kg after keeping jogging 5 km every day for a month. D. Tom feels great cycling with friends but bored when cycling alone. 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。 Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? ____36____. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. ____37____. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). ____38____. And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. ____39____. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. ____40____. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊) strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. A. Walking backward might help you. B. Your memory might just thank you for it. C. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. D. Sometimes, the best way forward really is a step back. E. In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. F. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. G.
