21、 How is it that some people manage to get up at 5:30 am to exercise? We have picked some lifestyle changes you can make to help you become the person who wants to get out of bed as planned.
•Eat right the night before.
The foods you eat in the evening will affect how you feel when you go to the gym."If you ate meat and bread at 9 o'clock last night, chances are that you're going to wake up feeling tired and lazy, " says Noah Neiman, a trainer at Barry's Bootcamp. Eat vegetables and healthy fats so you wake up feeling dynamic, not tired or lazy. "Just be sure to finish up at least 90 minutes before you go to bed, " says Leslie Bonci, founder of Active Eating Advice. "This gives your stomach some time to digest the food so it's not working while you're trying to take a sleep."
•Make yourself go to bed earlier.
It'll be easier to get out of bed in the morning if you've slept 7 to 8 hours. What does that mean exactly? "The body has an internal circadian rhythm (内部循环规律). If you do not disrupt (扰乱) it, it will make waking up in the morning much easier, " explains Joe Holder, a coach. Limit mobile phone, computer and TV use before bedtime so the blue light that these devices give off doesn't affect your sleep.
•Have a workout friend.
Ask around — you probably have a friend who either already gets up in the morning to work out or wants to start doing it. Make plans to meet him at the gym or a class. It'll be less difficult for you to get up when you know someone is waiting for you.
【1】What does the underlined word "dynamic" in the second paragraph mean?
A.Energetic.
B.Nervous.
C.Puzzled.
D.Bored.
【2】Which of the following is a healthy habit?
A.Having as much sleep as possible.
B.Stop eating right before bedtime.
C.Eating meat and bread before 9:00 pm.
D.Eating vegetables and healthy fats for supper.
【3】What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.7 to 8 hours' sleep every day is not enough.
B.Mobile phones shouldn't be taken into the bedroom.
C.Having enough sleep can help you get out of bed in the morning.
D.We should make changes to the internal circadian rhythm regularly.
【4】How can a workout friend help you according to the last paragraph?
A.By making you want more friends.
B.By making you get up more easily.
C.By making a plan for you to work out.
D.By making you enjoy the benefits of working out.
22、A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts. Researchers said that could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and regular screening is key to discovering signs of the disease in patients before they show obvious symptoms. In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram, an X-ray picture of the breast, every three years, and the results are analyzed by two independent experts. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive—misdiagnosing(误诊) a healthy patient as having cancer-or false negative—missing the disease as it spreads.
Now researchers have trained an artificial intelligence(AI)model to detect cancer in breast scans from thousands of women in Britain and the US. The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life, but unlike in a clinical setting, the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnosis.
The team found that their AI model could predict breast cancer from the scans with a similar accuracy level to expert radiographers(放射技师). Further, the ad showed a reduction in the cases where cancer was incorrectly identified — 5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain, respectively. It also reduced the percentage of missed diagnosed by 9.4 percent among US patients and by 2.7 percent in Britain.
“Application of AI is definitely great progress for the field. We think about this technology in a way that enabled an expert, or a patient finally, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnosed they've had.” said Dominic King, leader of the research group. “There's an opportunity to perfect the existing service by comparing the computer's decision with that of the first human reviewer to test his diagnosis. If the two agreed, the case was marked as reliable. That could also save the workload for another doctor.”
【1】What can we infer about mammogram from Paragraph 2?
A.It is carried out by two independent experts.
B.It is a must for all women over fifty in Britain.
C.It has proved a breakthrough in detecting cancer.
D.It plays a key role in identifying breast cancer earlier.
【2】How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By analyzing causes and results.
【3】What does Dominic King advise?
A.Reducing the workload of medical staff.
B.Training more experts to use all technology.
C.Using the AI technology as a second opinion.
D.Applying AI models to as many fields as possible.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.AI beats humans in breast cancer diagnosis
B.Fights against various cancers show promise
C.AI is widely used in health care in Britain
D.Medical diagnosed become more accurate
23、Baseball Plant
Where it's found: South Africa
This is a ball-shaped juicy plant. Unluckily, it was unsustainably harvested because more people around the globe have decided to grow baseball plants around them. Luckily, some botanical gardens have started to grow this plant. In this way, it will no longer need to be obtained from the wild so that it does not become extinct.
Corpse Flower
Where it's found: Sumatra, Indonesia
The corpse flower is also listed as an endangered plant and there are about 1, 000 plants growing in the wild. This plant sends out a smell of rotting(腐烂)meat during its nightly peak bloom. This allows it to attract pollinators like flies from miles away. It can grow an astonishing eight feet tall and can weigh up to 170 pounds.
African Starfish Flower
Where it's found: Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe
Don't fall in love with its beautiful flowers, because this is yet another plant that's known for its bad smell. It smells like rotting meat and looks like a rotting animal! Unluckily, it is endangered due to destroyed habitats, plant collectors as well as the Zulus, who use the plant as a cure for hysteria(癔病).
Hydnora Africana
Where it's found: Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Ethiopia
This has an appearance similar to mushroom until the flower opens. At this point, the plant transforms from a leafless brown-gray plant to something that looks more like an animal than a plant. While this is also a smelly plant, it is an edible(可食用的)fruit that is loved by many animals and even humans! It makes for a tasty food when mixed with cream and can also treat conditions like diarrhea(腹泻).
【1】What can be inferred about the baseball plant?
A.It gives out a bad smell.
B.Its flowers have a strange shape.
C.It is a kind of food for the locals.
D.It is endangered in its wild habitat.
【2】In which country are corpse plants found?
A.South Africa.
B.Botswana.
C.Indonesia.
D.Ethiopia.
【3】What do African Starfish Flower and Hydnora Africana have in common?
A.They have great sizes.
B.They can be used as drugs.
C.They look like rotting animals.
D.They change shapes to keep away enemies.
24、The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet(芭蕾)dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气)has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的)cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick. “Within a couple of days truly terrible days for some-astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass’ That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars’
【1】What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A.Deciding on a proper sleep position.
B.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.
C.Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.
D.Finding a right time to go to sleep.
【2】The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .
A.they circle around on their bikes
B.they use microcomputers without a stop
C.they exercise in one place for a long time
D.they watch a movie while pedaling
【3】Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .
A.their senses stop working
B.they have to stand up straight
C.they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D.their brains receive contradictory messages
【4】One of NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is .
A.how much exercise they do on the station
B.how they can remain healthy for long in space
C.whether they can recover after returning home
D.whether they are able to go back to the station

26、请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
When we get some money as a gift, how to deal with the money becomes a problem we must face. From my perspective, the answers are diverse in different periods. However, no matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to use it wisely.
In my childhood, when the cartoons about the car race extremely attracted me, I would use the money I received to buy toy cars. But when I entered the school, toys could not attract me. In this period, the things I wanted most were some electronic products. I always hurried to buy the up-to-date mobile phone immediately I received money as a gift.
Now I have got a job, the things above me not important for me. I do not need some useless things or something I have already had. Probably, saving money in the bank is my best choice.
In conclusion, if I receive a sum of money, in different periods I may have different choices. Whatever I choose to do with the gift of money, it must make me feel happy.
