21、Engaging in just one hour of leisure-time physical activity per week can reduce your risk of future depression, according to a new study — which is the largest and most extensive of its kind to date.
The findings of this study suggest that surprisingly small amounts of low-intensity physical activity (60 minutes of exercise per week, without becoming breathless or sweating) can protect against future depression, regardless of age or gender. This adds to a growing body of evidence that small doses of physical activity can contribute to huge psychological and physical health benefits.
This international research team was led by the Black Dog Institute in Australia who conducted an in-depth analysis of the Health Study of Nord-Trondelag County (HUNT study). HUNT involved 33,908 male and female Norwegian adults who had their levels of exercise and symptoms of depression and anxiety monitored over an 11-year period.
At the beginning of the HUNT study, all participants were asked to report their frequency of weekly exercise and their degree of aerobic intensity: (1) without becoming breathless or sweating, (2) becoming breathless and sweating, or (3) exhausting themselves.
During the follow-up stage of the study, participants completed a self-report questionnaire (the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) to indicate any emerging anxiety or depression over the years. Notably, the researchers found that people did not have to become breathless, sweaty, or exhaust themselves to reap psychological benefits from exercise. In fact, the authors observed that low levels of aerobic intensity were just as effective as moderate-to- vigorous physical activity (MVPA)in terms of protecting against future depression.
In a statement, lead author, Samuel Harvey, added: “We’ve known for some time that exercise has a role to play in treating symptoms of depression, but this is the first time we have been able to quantify the preventative potential of physical activity in terms of reducing future levels of depression. These findings are exciting because they show that even relatively small amounts of exercise-from one hour per week-can deliver significant protection against depression.”
The authors conclude: “Given that the intensity of exercise does not appear to be important, it may be that the most effective public health measures are those that encourage and facilitate increased levels of everyday activities, such as walking or cycling. The results presented in this study provide a strong argument in favor of further exploration of exercise as a strategy for the prevention of depression.”
【1】What’s new in the findings of the IIT study?
A.It involved the most participants in one research of its kind.
B.Exercise plays a positive role in treating symptoms of depression.
C.Those who enjoy exercising every week are less likely to suffer depression.
D.Exercise is described specifically in frequency and intensity to prevent depression.
【2】We can learn from Paragraph 5 that in the following part of the study________.
A.researchers asked participants about their mental health
B.participants answered questions related to physical exercises
C.participants answered questions related to their mental health
D.researchers found that MVPA can help prevent future depression
【3】How was the HUNT study carried out?
A.By carrying out interviews.
B.By conducting surveys.
C.By engaging in physical activities.
D.By studying Norwegians health state.
【4】Which of the following statements would the researchers most probably agree with?
A.To avoid depression, one should perform everyday activities.
B.Jogging until one sweats is better than walking or cycling every day.
C.Depression victims should be encouraged to perform less intense sports.
D.Exercise as a possible means of depression prevention deserves further study.

23、Modern zoos aim to promote animal conservation, educate people, and support further wildlife research. Staff are devoted to providing species specific housing and appropriate diets to ensure that the animals’ lives are as natural as possible within captivity (圈养).
In fact, most zoo animals have been born and bred in captivity. They have never experienced “the wild”, which many people assume is a wonderful and safe place, despite destruction of natural habits for palm oil threats from climate change or the increase in poaching.
There are two ways capturing animals helps conserve them. Zoo conservation work can be in-situ (在原处)where money: expertise and sometimes staff are provided to protect animals and their habitats in the wild. Large, charming animals such as pandas, tigers or elephants draw the crowds. These flagship species help to raise the image and funds for in-situ conservation efforts for the not so well known species
“Ex-situ” conservation, meanwhile, takes place outside of the animals’ natural habitats, usually back at the zoo and often involving international captive breeding programs. These studbooks(良种登记册) can outline suitable genetic matches for breeding, to keep a sustainable captive population of a certain species and ensure genetic variation.
In the UK a least, zoos must have a written education strategy and an active education programme.If you have been to an accredited (官方认可的) zoo recently you will have noticed they use games and technology to go way beyond these basic requirements.
Research within zoos often looks at animal behaviour or welfare helping to ensure the animals are well housed and fed. Other research investigates the impact humans have on the zoo animals from the visitor effect to the relationships which can be formed between the animals and their keepers. Research also focuses on biological functioning of animals. Much of this is work that cannot be conducted in the wild if the animals live in remote or inhospitable areas.
Overall, zoos provide opportunities to observe and engage with exotic (外国的) animals, many of which may be threatened with extinction in the wild. Seeing them up close can cause a passion for biology, conservation and the environment.
【1】What do people think of “the wild”?
A.It poses a danger to humans.
B.It is perfect for large animals
C.It is an ideal habitat for animals.
D.It guarantees the safety of animals.
【2】What highlights “ex-situ” conservation?
A.Saving the conservation cost.
B.Attracting more visitors to zoos.
C.Keeping a species’ population stable.
D.Changing the genes of a certain species.
【3】What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A.How zoo keepers get along with animals.
B.How zoos can contribute to research work.
C.What researchers are expected to do in zoos.
D.Why it is difficult to carry out research in the wild.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in wring the text?
A.To show zoos ways to raise animals.
B.To stress modern zoos research value.
C.To defend zoos role in protecting animals.
D.To advise zoos to release animals into the wild.
24、 When we visit museums, we see cultural artifacts—from everyday household items to precious carvings and statues, which show us the different cultures and communities from around the world. However, debate surrounds these artifacts and whether or not countries should return these pieces of culture if they were stolen or forcefully taken during colonization.
By the 18th and 19th centuries, European countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands had colonized many African and Asian countries. During their rule, they seized artifacts and brought them to their own countries, where they are now on show in museums.
Over the years, European museums have been asked to give back the artifacts. In 2009, Egypt demanded that France return five pieces of a wall painting from the tomb of Tekati. In 2012, Nigeria asked for the return of thirty-two cultural items from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 2017, the Government of Benin in West Africa tried to reach an agreement with the British Museum to return their Benin Bronzes.
The debate regarding this issue took a turn in 2018 when under President Emmanuel Macron, a report was released that directed that all heritage objects brought to French museums be returned. With the official release of this report, museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures.
In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, France's National Assembly officially passed a bill promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn't arrange a certain date.
Those who suggest returning these objects to their homes argue that with technology enabling online museum tours, returning these artifacts to their homeland does not take away the opportunity to learn about them. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive a significant part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly appreciated in homeland.
Those against the return hold the view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors” that promote understanding. They believe that while stealing them was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage.
【1】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Requests for the return of cultural objects.
B.Discussion about stolen artifacts' protection.
C.Debate on whether to give back the stolen artifacts.
D.Demands for the museums' ownership of the artifacts.
【2】Why did the museums reconsider their policies?
A.French president promised to well protect the artifacts in the museum.
B.French government agreed to send the artifacts back to their homeland.
C.European countries officially agreed to give back the colonial treasures.
D.President Emmanuel Macron demanded European museums return the artifacts.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A.It is impossible for France to keep its promise.
B.French government is confident about its policy.
C.The stolen treasures can't be back to their homeland soon.
D.Artifacts are more appreciated in France than in other countries.
【4】People who consider the artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that .
A.mistakes in history need correcting in time
B.artifacts will be better protected in homeland
C.heritage objects belong to all the human beings
D.online museum tours will be popular in the future
