21、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty．This was Stephen Hawking．I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his Phd degree．
But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73．Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive．He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship．
Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study．Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University．He was said to be a “lazy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement．Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well．But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began．In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32．
The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits．Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested． However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理论) has been to confirm and build on his idea． He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists．
【1】What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?
A. His brilliant research．
B. His bestselling books．
C. His serious disease．
D. His defeating hardship．
【2】What made Stephen Hawking start his research career at Cambridge?
A. His death sentence．
B. His “lazy” attitude．

A. in the early 1940s
B. in the late 1940s
C. in the early 1930s
D. in the late 1930s
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A. Hawking’s theory was proved years ago．
B. Hawking was not as successful as Newton．
C. String theory built on Hawking’s idea．
D. Hawking’s theory has had little influence on others．
【5】Which of the following is Not True according the passage?
A. He achieved one success after another in his career despite his disease．
B. He couldn’t walk when the author first met him at Cambridge．
C. He not only survived his disease but contributed greatly to science．
D. He is among the greatest scientists to improve the knowledge of gravity．
22、The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.
'If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It's very short lived', said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. 'These health effects are long term. It's kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.'
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the 'sleep stealers' such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】What does the underlined word 'rushes' mean?
A．Ruins.
B．Guarantees.
C．Deepens.
D．Arouses.
【2】What will Kenneth Wright agree with?
A．Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.
B．Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.
C．Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
D．It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.
【3】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?
A．Take regular exercise every day.
B．Reduce the screen time before sleep.
C．Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
D．Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.
【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To share some unhappy experiences.
B．To show some unknown facts.
C．To promote a healthy lifestyle.
D．To introduce a new study.
23、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。
Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (镜像神经元) in our brains.
Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains copy it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is biological basis for the way we understand other people.
Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).
Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and communicate. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.
【1】Mirror neurons can explain _________.
A. why we cry when we are hurt
B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C. why we smile when we see someone else smile
D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
【2】The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.
A. broken up B. set off
C. built up D. cut off
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE about mirror neurons?
A. They result in bad behavior and social disorders
B. They control human physical actions and feelings
C. They determine our knowledge and language abilities
D. They relate to human behavior and communication
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Existence of mirror neurons.
B. Functions of mirror neurons.
C. Ways to find mirror neurons.
D. Problems of mirror neurons.
24、A study has found that when people burn extra calories by working out, the body starts to compensate by reducing the amount of energy spent on functions to stay alive, such as sleeping or digestion. About a quarter of the calories burnt during a workout are then budgeted for later on, meaning that overall the total number of calories burnt is less than expected. For overweight people, it is estimated that about half of calories burnt during periods of higher activity were later compensated for.
Researchers at the University of Roehampton found that the calories the body burns to keep ticking over decrease by 28 per cent during periods when daily exercise levels are consistently high. This means the more we exercise over the long-term, the less calories our bodies bum for the most rudimentary activities. The results show that only 54 per cent of the calories used by exercise or activity among people who have the highest body mass actually translated into calories burnt at the end of the day, due to their bodies reducing the energy spent on the most basic of functions. In contrast,70 percent of calories burnt during activity by those with the lowest body mass translated into more calories burnt at the end of the day.
Professor Lewis Halsey, of the department of life sciences, said: “Around the world, national guidelines tend to recommend a 500—600 calorie deficit through exercising and dieting to lose weight. However, they do not take into account the reduction of calories being burnt in the most basic of human functions as the body compensates for the calories burnt on the exercise as shown in our research, and the variation in this compensation between people with different levels of body fat.”
In this study they found no differences between men and women in the energy lost during activity. But since the research shows overweight people who exercise burn significantly fewer calories on day-to-day functions, there is a need for greater personalisation of exercise plans depending upon body mass.
【1】Why are calories burnt by exercise less than expected according to the study?
A．Time spent on exercise is limited.
B．Exercise levels are not high enough.
C．People tend to overeat after exercise.
D．They are compensated for by the body.
【2】How does the writer develop paragraph 2?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By raising examples.
C．By providing statistics.
D．By explaining concepts.
【3】What does Lewis Halsey think of the present national guidelines on losing weight?
A．They are worth recommending.
B．They are supposed to be revised.
C．They neglect gender differences.
D．They take body mass into account.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Overweight Exercisers Burn Fewer Calories
B．Ways to Keep Fit by Exercising and Dieting
C．Sleeping and Digestion Function to Stay Alive
D．Personalized Exercise Plans on Losing Weight
