21、Move to the Music
Music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect? 【1】 The first is simple: Music distracts us. When we listen to a song we like, our brain pays attention to the music. For example, after we exercise for 20 minutes, our body might be tired. But we may not feel this immediately while listening to music. So we exercise a little longer.
Music also motivates us. When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat. An upbeat song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel happier. This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer. 【2】 Songs in the range of 120-140 beats per minute(BPM)are the best, says sports psychologist Dr. Costas Karageorghis.
【3】. Its leading researcher Fritz put 61 people in small groups. They all then exercised twice. One time, each group worked out while listening to music for six minutes. Another time, they exercised for six minutes on special Jymmin machines. The name Jymmin is a combination of “jamming" and “gym.” Using these machines, each group made music as they moved. The exercisers became the composers and the machines became their instruments. In the end, 53 of the 61 people said the same thing: They felt less tired when they exercised on the Jymmin machines. 【4】
How does Fritz explain this? Maybe people did better on the Jymmin machines because they had more control, he says. People created the beat. They could make it go faster or slower. Also, the activity was social. Each group was making music together and having fun. Fritz believes that Jymmin exercise may have other advantages, too. 【5】 For example, it may be even a good way to treat depression.
A．Experts say there are two main reasons.
B．This also helps relax our body and brain.
C．Music with a quick and steady beat is good for exercising,
D．He wants to find out if it can help with more serious conditions.
E．He expects to take advantage of it to tap into people’s potential.
F．A new study suggests this is only part of the explanation, however.
G．When they exercise and make music, working out seems to be easier.
22、Sharks may be able to smell blood from miles away, but they probably don’t know how red it is. It is likely that they only see the world in black and white according to a study that is the first to investigate sharks’ visual system.
A team at the University of Western Australia studied the visual systems of many different species of sharks and what they have found is diversity in eye design that mirrors the ecological and behavioral diversity of the shark species. The team looked at the retinal cells of 17 species of sharks caught off Queensland and Western Australia and found out that the cells are responsible for sharks’ color blindness.
According to the study, these animals are color-blind due to the light receptors they have got in their eyes. There are two main types of light-sensitive cells to allow animals to see: rod cells help measure brightness because they are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart, while various types of cone cells help distinguish colors. They peeked at the structure of sharks’ rod and cone cells in the retina. Human eyes come with red, green and blue cone variations, while sharks appear to have just one kind of cone cells.
The study suggests that contrast against the background, rather than color itself, might be more important for object detection by sharks. Costumes that camouflage swimmers’ bodies in sea water are less likely to draw a shark’s attention than ones with bright, solid colors that emphasize their outline. “It’s the high contrast against the water rather than the color itself which is probably attractive to sharks,” said Professor Nathan Hart who led the study.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The importance of the research.
B．The features of sharks’ retinal cells.
C．The process and the result of the study.
D．The functions of sharks’ visual systems.
【2】What causes sharks’ blindness to color according to the study?
A．Their fragile rod cells.
B．Their lack of various cone cells.
C．Their dark living environment.
D．Their weak sensitivity to light.
【3】What does the underlined word “camouflage” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．hide
B．fit
C．beautify
D．protect
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To clear up a wrong belief.
B．To raise funds for a program.
C．To show a unique phenomenon.
D．To present a scientific discovery.
23、If you have heart disease, your doctor might tell you, eat more vegetables, a strategy that has limited success.
“Getting people to change their diets is actually pretty hard. These are lessons I would give over and over again. And I would think, ‘Why is this so hard to do?’” Jennifer L. Smith is a nurse researcher at the University of Kentucky who now has a preliminary answer about why change is so hard: it might depend on your genes. Specifically, whether or not you’re genetically tended to perceive(感知)bitterness—and therefore bitter vegetables. So broccoli(西兰花)is definitely one of them. They tend to be cruciferous(十字花科的)vegetables, like cabbage. If you ever took that test in science class where you put a piece of paper on your tongue to see if it tastes bitter, you might already know your bitter status.
Smith took saliva(唾液)samples from 175 adults known to be at risk of heart disease. She then did a genetic test to determine whether they had a copy of a bitter-taste gene variant. She also had them fill in a questionnaire about their eating habits. After controlling for factors like age, gender, income, and so on, Smith found that people with a copy of the bitter-sensitive gene variant were just 40 percent as likely to report eating a lot of vegetables as were the folks without the gene variant. She’s presenting the results this week at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia. “If these findings hold up to more testing,” Smith says, “perhaps doctors could advise patients with this gene variant to avoid the most offensively bitter vegetables but to try the others.” “Or perhaps certain herbs and spices might reduce the bitterness,” she says. Of course, chefs already figured this out with cheesy broccoli. But for heart patients, the better flavor might not be a favor.
【1】What mainly decides people’s eating habits?
A．Income and health.
B．Age and gender.
C．Bitter status.
D．Genes.
【2】What vegetables are suitable for people with heart disease according to Smith?
A．Cheesy broccoli.
B．Cruciferous vegetables.
C．Broccoli and cabbage.
D．Vegetables without bitterness.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．People with the gene variant eat a lot of vegetables.
B．Doctors can take advantage of Smith’s test results.
C．Smith’s findings need to be further tested.
D．Smith’s test results have been proved.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．An experiment guide.
B．A history book.
C．A science magazine.
D．A science fiction.
24、Beyoncé Knowles can do something that many humans struggle with: sing and dance at the same time. But, it turns out this great ability is not unique to humans. The superb lyrebird, already known to be a gifted singer, can perform coordinated(协调的)songanddance routines(一套舞蹈动作)that put most humans to shame.
The superb lyrebird is one of only two lyrebird species living in Australia, the other named Albert’s lyrebird. Male lyrebirds have tails in the shape of an ancient musical instrument when spread out. Like most animals with beautiful body parts, the males use their tails to attract females. Each one sets up a small mound(小丘)on the forest floor, where he walks around proudly and sings. He also shows his tail by holding it over his head.
Lyrebirds are gifted mimics(模仿者), so their songs combine their own calls, the songs of other species, and sounds they have heard in the forest. That would be enough showing off for other animals, but male superb lyrebirds also dance.
Anastasia Dalziell of the Australian National University in Canberra filmed 12 lyrebirds in the wild. She found that males only danced during four song types, and that each song type was accompanied by a specific move. “Lyrebirds match different dance styles to different types of songs, ”she says. For example, when the male sang a series of rapid notes he also stepped to the side and held his tail wide. Another song type was accompanied by jumping and moving up and down, with the tail held narrow.
“Our results suggest that the coordination between song and dance—like movements we see in humans can occur in other animals,” says Dalziell. Female lyrebirds might prefer males that are better at coordinating song and dance, although there is no evidence of that yet.
【1】Beyoncé Knowles is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to ___________.
A. put most humans to shame
B. introduce the topic of lyrebirds
C. show the author’s admiration for her
D. share the experience of the famous singer
【2】According to the passage, male lyrebirds attract females by ___________.
A. performing on a mound and showing their tails
B. walking in the forest with the heads held up
C. having tails shaped like a musical instrument
D. singing and dancing with other male lyrebirds
【3】What may Anastasia Dalziell agree with?
A. Both human beings and animals are born singers and dancers.
B. Female Albert’s lyrebirds are fond of copying and showing off.
C. Male superb lyrebirds are gifted at coordinating song and dance.
D. Male lyrebirds can sing four songs, each accompanied by a move.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had to come on to UC Irvine’s campus to accompany a friend to a meeting. In the parking lot, I gave him a smile card and explained my idea. We each were supposed to make a stranger smile, pass on the card, and meet up to share the story of what happened.
To complete it, we were in a shopping area of the campus surrounded by young, smiling, mostly rich people. “No worries,” I said as I pulled out my laptop to look for a wireless signal that we could use to hunt for ideas. The only problem was that there was no empty tables to sit at. Just then we spotted an older man. He was sitting alone and enjoying a drink and a cigarette.
“Excuse me, sir, do you mind if we sit here?” I asked. “Not at all,” responded this fellow. I went inside to get a paper napkin to wipe off the table, as my friend initiated conversation. We talked happily with the man. That’s when I told him our scheme and handed a smile card to him too. I told him that spreading smile was my experiment in bridging the gap with what I see missing in so many places. It was an experiment in building more connectivity and happiness in the world.
My friend thought that guy was our mark. He insisted we should do it separately. He went off to his meeting with a card, and I went off to find my real tag. Then I found a woman.
Middle-aged and overweight, she looked slightly depressed as she was eating her boxed Chinese lunch among the young and the beautiful. I went up with some candies bought in a dessert shop nearby.
“Hello. Can I buy you dessert today?” I asked. “Why?” she asked, laughing with surprise. “I just wanted to make someone’s day today and felt like it should be you.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh, thank you so much,” she said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing her bad luck, I smiled and handed her the smile card.
