27、Physical activity is important in preventing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease in young people so long as they don’t undertake very intense activity on days when air pollution levels are high, according to a recently released study.
Until now, little has been known about the relationships between the health benefits of physical activity taking place outdoors and the potentially harmful effects of air pollution. Previous research by the authors of the current study had investigated the question in middle-aged people at a single point in time, but this is the first time that it has been investigated in young adults aged between 20—30 years over a period of several years. In addition, the researchers wanted to see what happens when people increase or decrease their physical activity over time.
At each health check-up, the participants completed a questionnaire asking about their physical activity in the past seven days and this information was changed into units of metabolic equivalent task(MET, 代谢当量任务) minutes per week(MET-mins/week). The participants were divided into four groups: 0, 1—499, 500—999 and 1000 or more MET-mins/week. People are recommended to do 500—999 MET-mins/week and this can be achieved by; for example, running, cycling or hiking for 15—30 minutes five times a week, or brisk walking, doubles tennis or slow cycling for 30—60 minutes five times a week.
The researchers used data to calculate annual average levels of air pollution, in particular the levels of small particulate matter that are less than or equal to 10 or 2.5 microns in diameter, known a PM10 and PM25.
Overall, the results show that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease among young adults. However, when air pollution levels are high, exercising beyond the recommended amount may offset or even reverse the beneficial effects. The study cannot show that air pollution causes the increased cardiovascular risk, only that it is associated with it.
【1】What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A．Outdoor physical activity harms our health.
B．Exercising isn’t advised on serious air pollution days.
C．A first in-depth survey has been done on young adults.
D．Middle-aged people have been the ideal research target.
【2】How do the results come out?
A．By doing research on young adults.
B．By collecting PM10 and PM2.5 data.
C．By making experiments on middle-aged people.
D．By studying a questionnaire on physical activity.
【3】What do we know about the result?
A．Air pollution leads to cardiovascular disease.
B．Cardiovascular disease relates to air pollution.
C．More physical exercise benefits young people.
D．Young adults seldom develop cardiovascular disease.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Physical activity & air pollution: when to do more or less physical activity.
B．Physical activity & health benefit: how to prevent cardiovascular disease
C．Physical activity & air pollution: what to do with high air pollution levels
D．Physical activity & health benefit: how to maximize the health benefits of exercising
28、 Genetic engineering, in its broadest definition, means to control a species so that a particular trait is increased in the population. A trait is how an organism (有机体) looks or acts or what it does. Having brown eyes is a trait. Flying in circles is a trait. Climbing trees is a trait.
The earliest forms of genetic engineering occurred on farms. People selected seeds from plants that had more fruit production or tastier leaves than other plants of their types. Then they chose to save the seeds from the best of that group to sow the next year. So, year by year, the farmers produced better and better crops. This type of activity probably has been going on since mankind first settled in villages and began making a life for themselves in one location, about 12,000 years ago!
The same sort of thing would have also happened with animals. For example, people chose to eat the animals that didn’t have favorable traits and let the animals with the favorable traits reproduce. It was thousands of years before mankind figured out how plants and animals reproduce themselves. With this knowledge, people could pollinate (授粉) plants by hand or keep a pair of animals together in order to deliberately cause an increase in a favorable trait.
It was only in the last 250 years that scientists began figuring out chromosomes (染色体) and genes and the role they play in the way one generation passes its traits on to the next. And it’s only been in the last 30 years that scientists have been able to cut out specific genes from one organism and put them in another. It is this 30- year-old technology that is described by the narrow definition of genetic engineering. Mankind has long been able to have a deliberate impact on the world around him. He now possesses the tools to deliberately impact himself. Some people are afraid of what might be done with that power.
【1】The text is mainly developed by ______.
A. asking questions
B. examining differences
C. making comparisons
D. giving examples
【2】Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ______.
A. the spread of genetic engineering
B. the advantage of genetic engineering
C. the original application of genetic engineering
D. the popularity of genetic engineering
【3】The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. specific genes B. special traits
C. chromosomes D. scientists
【4】What can we learn about genetic engineering from the last paragraph?
A. It has a history of 250 years by the narrow definition of genetic engineering.
B. Scientists don’t know how to make good use of it.
C. People have a misunderstanding of it in the past 30 years.
D. It is becoming a powerful tool of mankind.
29、EP Portable Heater
We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.
The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
