21、 You have probably heard that Japan has among the highest life expectancy(预期寿命) in the world and that the island of Okinawa(冲绳) has the greatest concentration(浓度) of centenarians(百岁老人). But do you know that two-thirds of the centenarians are still functioning independently? That means they are in their own homes, cooking their own meals and living their lives fully - at about 100 years old!
The elders there are less likely than their counterparts in the United States to have heart disease, dementia(痴呆) or certain cancers. Their bones are stronger than those of similarly aged people around the world. Many of these residents are the subjects of one of the largest studies of centenarians ever conducted. Since 1976, nearly a thousand centenarians on the islands have been studied.
More than anything, the Okinawa diet has long captured the headlines. Before knowing what the Okinawans eat, there is a valuable lesson in how they eat.
Remember this term: hara hachi bu. It is translated into English as “Stop eating when you are 80% full.” With hara hachi bu, the philosophy is that you should still be a little hungry when you push the plate away. You are also advised to reduce your portion(食物的分量) sizes, use smaller plates and eat more slowly.
There is a basic biological (生物学的) reason this works. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to send signals to the brain that it is full. Unfortunately, most people can shovel down another several hundred calories in that short time. Instead, if you push the plate away and just wait, you will have eaten less and still feel satisfied.
Eating less is associated with longevity, but of course, that also depends on what you eat. Okinawans typically eat seven different fruits and vegetables and 18 different foods a day, and more than 200 different foods and spices regularly in their overall diet.
However, the younger generations are eating more meat and fast food instead of fish and soy. The elderly there are still widely revered(崇敬), but there are fewer of them, and they are less often living to 100 than in decades past.
【1】What is the key to the high life expectancy in Okinawa?
A.What they eat B.How they eat
C.Where they live D.When they exercise
【2】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part “shovel down” in Paragraph 5?
A.fill in B.put down
C.fill out D.push away
【3】Which of the following statements about Okinawa is true?
A.The elderly are in bad need of mutual respect.
B.There are an increasing number of the elderly.
C.The younger generations have a varied diet.
D.Things are starting to change for the worse.
【4】Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.Eat less to live longer.
B.Healthy diets build longevity.
C.The Okinawa: a place of longevity.
D.Improve life expectancy? Slow down.
22、 Tropical ( 热带的) rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate, and according to a new report by Rainforest Foundation Norway, humans are to blame. The world’s dependence on coal, farming, beans, palm oil and mining has resulted in two-thirds of Earth’s tropical rainforests being completely destroyed, and the remaining ecosystems being put closer to a tipping point.
Tropical rainforests once covered 14.5 million square kilometers of Earth’s surface, but now, just one-third of that remains undamaged. Of the original area tropical rainforests once occupied, 34% is completely gone and 30% is suffering from damage. All that remains is roughly 9.5 million square kilometers, and 45% of that is in a degraded (恶化) state, the report says.
Researchers blame human consumption for the loss. While agriculture has always been a driving factor of rainforest loss, the report said that energy consumption, international trade and the production of beans and palm oil, logging and mining have been the largest threats (威胁) over the past century. A significant number of US products rely on resources from tropical rainforests. The country heavily relies on palm oil, rubber and cocoa, all of which come from forests around the world. Often, these resources are harvested from illegally destroyed lands.
Tropical rainforests are home to more than half of the Earth’s biodiversity and have more carbon in living organisms than any other ecosystem. In addition to supporting significant animal life, tropical rainforests are also necessary for slowing down global warming. “These unique ecosystems are suffering from constant abuse, through our bottomless appetite for land and resources,” said Anders Krogh, the author of the report. “We expect that upcoming UN climate and biodiversity summits provide specific targets and measures to protect tropical rainforests.”
The researchers also believe that the loss of tropical rainforests puts the whole world at the risk of future diseases. “Huge deforestation (毁林) is violating nature’s natural virus protection systems,” Krogh said. “The outbreak of COVID-19 should bring rainforest protection to the top of the agenda of all policy makers and world leaders concerned about preventing the outbreak of new diseases.”
【1】Why are the data listed in Paragraph 2?
A．To show the serious loss of tropical rainforests.
B．To present the process of rainforest degradation.
C．To stress the role of rainforests in the ecosystems.
D．To explain the reason for the disappearance of rainforests.
【2】What leads to the decrease of rainforests?
A．Traditional method of farming.
B．Global imbalance of international trade.
C．The world’s much dependence on clean energy.
D．Human unreasonable consumption of rainforest resources.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The loss of rainforests will destroy the future generations.
B．Immediate attention should be paid to protecting rainforests.
C．The disappearance of rainforests has accelerated the spread of the virus.
D．Politicians are concerned about preventing the outbreak of new diseases.
【4】What can be the best title for this passage?
A．Tropical rainforests are declining
B．Rainforests slow down global warming
C．Humans are to pay for the loss of rainforests
D．World leaders are acting to protect rainforests
23、English Can Make You Confident
It's true what they say, that English can improve your life. It makes you smarter and helps you meet people and earn more money, among other things. 【1】
Imagine you're in an English class. 【2】 You finished two minutes ago, and now the people round you are asking you for help. You know all the answers, and feel respected and admired.
You're flying back from your vacation and see that the person next to you is reading an American newspaper. 【3】 "The engines are awfully loud, aren't they?" you say. "Yeah. It feels like the airplane might break into pieces any moment , he laughs. The conversation takes off and you take part easily, and enjoy yourself. You get off the plane smiling. What a great flight!
【4】 You decide to read a book in English to pass the time. Others on the bus notice, and look at you with admiration. They would like to be able to read English, but can't. You feel satisfied, and are glad you put the time into learning the language.
You're at an international airport. You walk quickly, and look confident. 【5】 You know that if there were any problems you could easily communicate with the airport staff in their own language. You walk to your gate, thinking how inconvenient it could be if you didn't know English.
A．You also want to read the newspaper.
B．You understand all the signs and announcements.
C．But do you know how to learn English well?
D．You're taking the bus to school the way you do every day.
E．The whole class is doing an exercise and then discussing it noisily.
F．But have you ever wondered how it would feel to be really good at English?
G．Since the flight is going to take a long time, you decide to start a conversation.
24、These days, most people like using messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. But sometimes making a call is unavoidable. However, this simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people. 【1】 If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia — the fear of speaking over the phone.
【2】 When speaking face-to-face, we use facial expressions and gestures that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking with someone on the phone makes some people so terrified that they will freeze up and look foolish. However, there are things that one suffering from this condition can do to ease this fear.
One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call is smile. 【3】 It won't remove the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off (减轻) it.
Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. That will make you feel less nervous and help you predict some possible problems. There's no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes forming several ideas of what you want to say. 【4】 This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself spontaneously (自然地).
And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don't always have to pick up. 【5】
A．Doing so can help you feel more relaxed.
B．It's often the opening lines that give us the most anxiety.
C．Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought of it.
D．People who feel comfortable in social situations may experience telephobia.
E．The most important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.
F．You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking.
G．There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.
25、The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. “Yet when we think of health, we tend to ________ physical well-being at the expense of mental health. Instead, we should tackle mental health the same way we tackle physical health-with an eye towards preventing disease by addressing the foundational forces that cause us to be sick or well.
About 15 percent of the world’s diseases are mental illnesses. Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, ________ an estimated 300 million people around the world. Depression is so widespread that the WHO has ________ that, by 2030, it will be the leading cause of the global disease burden.
Mental illness may be even more common than we think. Many mental health challenges are likely ________ . There are a number of reasons for this. They include differences of opinion within the mental health field about the characteristics of these disorders, as well as changes to how we study them across populations and cultures. We also have a long way to go before we create a culture where stigma no longer ________ people with mental illness from getting assistance. Thirty-eight percent of Americans have said they are “definitely or probably”________ to have a person with mental illness move next door to them. Their attitudes make it more likely that many people with mental illness will remain under the radar, making it ________ to accurately assess their true numbers.
Health — both physical and mental — is a ________ of the social, economic, and environmental conditions in which we live. Our minds, just like our bodies, are shaped by complex factors. including where we live, our genetics, our childhood experiences, and our ________ to material resources. Income, ________, is one of the most significant influences on health and is linked to a number of common mood — anxiety disorders. From 2009 to 2013, 8. 7 percent of people with annual incomes below the federals poverty line were reported to experience “serious psychological distress,” compared with the lower levels of psychological distress reported by individuals with higher annual incomes.
If we ________ an arm or develop an infectious disease, it will be difficult for anyone to consider us healthy. If, however, we struggle with mental illness — such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — it is possible that our disease will ________ few outward symptoms. At the same time, the stigma that is still too often ________ to mental illness can make those who develop a disorder less likely to seek the help they need. Given these challenges, and the reasons I have listed, it is ________ that we address mental health with as much energy and insight as we apply to physical concerns. Our health deserves ________ less.
