21、Recent data shows that people in the U.S. can expect to live an average life expectancy (寿命) of 78.7 years. That puts Americans well behind that of 80.3 years in developed countries like Canada, Germany and Japan. Luckily, a 2018 study from Harvard University found that keeping these five habits could add up to 10 years or more to a person’s life:
1. Maintain a healthy diet
This isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially when you’re dealing with your work, family and social commitments. may be tempting, for example, to grab a quick bite at a fast food chain on your lunch break or order takeout during late nights at the office. But a recent study published in the British journal found that poor diets lead to one in five deaths.【1】 A good diet, according to the researchers, contains minimally processed, whole foods and grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts and any natural source of protein (i.e. fish and beans).
2. Exercise daily
【2】 Even the world’s most successful business leaders, like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates, make physical activity a daily priority. Just small amounts of daily exercise can help maintain a healthy body weight, maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints, promote psychological well-being and reduce the risk of certain diseases, including some cancers.
3. Keep a healthy weight
A “healthy” weight varies from person to person, but usually a body mass index (BMl) between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that those who monitored their weight less frequently were more likely to gain weight. 【3】
4. Limit your alcohol intake
Alcohol shows up at happy hour, conferences, social outings and so much more. Therefore, it’s hard to escape drinking it. To get through long days, some may even rely on alcohol as a stimulant (兴 奋剂) in social settings. 【4】 To begin with, it can add to your waistline and increase the risk of several cancers. While it can be difficult to moderate your alcohol intake, avoiding alcohol altogether benefits you a lot.
5. Don’t smoke
As the health risks of smoking have become increasingly apparent, there’s been more effort in warning people about the dangerous side effects.【5】 However, your body will thank you in the long run if you do so.
A．But there are many downsides.
B．That doesn’t mean it’ll be easy to kick the habit.
C．Start viewing the scale as tool to stay within the healthy range.
D．However, drinking heavily increases the risk of diabetes （糖尿病）.
E．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
F．It’s absolutely essential to set aside time to exercise.
G．It can also lead to problems like high blood pressure and diabetes.
22、There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn't even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a people and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language "usqueb" or "water of life"; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known whisky.

23、We’ve all heard people say “Oh, that person is so creative!” about someone who is great at art, but art is just one area where people can be creative. Any time you try something different to solve a problem, you’re being creative. 【1】 Maybe, but anyone can get more creative with practice. Here are some techniques that work for experts who are creative in very different ways.
Explore and Imagine. Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind some of the world’s most popular video games: Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong. He spent hours exploring nature and going on adventures in his mind. 【2】
Tune into Music. “Music is important to me. It brings my creative juices,” says author Linda Trice. When she was writing about American hero Harriet Tubman, she started each day by listening to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.【3】 In her picture book Kenya’s Song, Kenya and her father compose a song inspired by all the different music they hear in their neighborhood.
【4】 Have you ever looked for animal shapes in clouds? The artist Leonardo da Vinci looked everywhere for patterns that would spark his imagination. For example, he would look at stone walls to discover landscapes or faces.
Don’t Give Up. Dr. Lonnie Johnson is the inventor of the Super Soaker. When he was in high school, he wanted to build a robot, but he failed many times. 【5】 In a TED Talk, he said, “Just like with the robot, I don’t know any better than ‘Try’”

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
When Is the Mona Lisa Not the Mona Lisa?
How many Mona Lisa paintings do you think there are in the world today? Just the one? I don't think so. The truth is that there are probably many, many Mona Lisa's hanging on walls or in studios. Of course only one was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci but the art of copying is very common in the art world.
In fact it is true to say that artists have been copying from other artists for hundreds if not thousands of years. Traditionally, it was normal for artists to copy other artists' paintings. This was a way of making sure historical, religious and artistic traditions were available for future generations. It was considered normal for an artist in training to practise by copying the work of other great artists.
Historically, the purpose of art was for historical or religious reference. Most of the time no one cared who painted the paintings. This is why we find it difficult to identify the artists behind some of the greatest older paintings. Paintings were usually commissioned by the church or state, not b/ individuals so the name of the artist was really unimportant.
However, from around the 16th century the church and state became poorer and money found its way into the hands of rich individuals. These individuals, as a means of showing their place in society or a knowledge of art, drastically increased the demand for art. Suddenly more and more artists were needed and people competed to buy the paintings of certain individual artists. These created people whose job it was to buy and sell paintings. It also created galleries and auction houses. Suddenly art was a business and at its centre was money.
