26、There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. 【1】. While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths(缪见):
I’ll never lose weight—I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families. 【2】.
【3】.
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately(精确).
Exercise is boring
Wrong! 【4】. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. 【5】.
A.I am fat because I burn calories slowly.
B.And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little
C.Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older.
D.Anything will be interesting if you do the same kind of exercise.
E.If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.
F.Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively
G.And the only reason is that their parents are fat.
27、 More than 7,000 runners who raced earlier this month in a half-marathon in London were under the influence of a scientifically designed and powerful stimulant — pop music.
The upbeat music at London's “Run to the Beat” race was chosen based on the research of sport psychologist Costas Karageorghis of Brunel University. He has learned how to design music to be as powerful, if not more so, as some of the illegal stimulant. “Music is a great way to lift spirits both before and during physical activity. A lot of athletes use music as if it's a legal drug,” Costas told LiveScience.
Costas and his team collected data during the “Run to the Beat” half-marathon, allowing them to test on thousands of live runners outside the lab. Despite strong winds and heavy rain during the event, interviews after the race suggested that the runners found the music inspiring and fun.
In the future, Costas expects a fusion of sports and music, where the crowd and the athletes are motivated by music in the race, while motivating one another. “It is beyond the music,” he said. “The music inspires team spirit. One of the key causes of motivation is the feeling of being together with one another. Having suitable music allows you to get this feeling naturally.”
The link between music and athletic performance is just one example of the amazing power that music has over our minds and bodies. Scientists also have confirmed that music improves memories, as we all have experienced, to the point where we don't even have to hear a song. We just think of it and the memories flood in. Music has also been found to relieve pain, make you smarter, and remove bad emotions.
【1】What does the underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Soft. B.Original. C.Positive. D.Traditional.
【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.Why the half-marathon was held. B.What the runners think of music.
C.How the half-marathon was held. D.How Costas carried out his research.
【3】According to Costas, why can music motivate people in sports?
A.It relieves physical pain. B.It improves people s memory.
C.It removes the effect of drugs. D.It makes people feel being in a team.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.How Music Has Changed Us B.The Amazing Power of Music
C.How Music and Sports Affected Each Other D.Music Contributes to a Successful Marathon
28、 Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.
I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.
Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.
【1】What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?
A.Good health was not there for everyone. B.She should take dance lessons.
C.She had to struggle to live a better life. D.She should wear beautiful dresses.
【2】How did the author's family feel when Grandma decided to take dance lessons?
A.Hopeless. B.Helpless. C.Embarrassed. D.Proud.
【3】The author felt ______ when he was invited to watch grandma's match.
A.happy B.proud C.excited D.uninterested
【4】The text is mainly about ________.
A.my grandma's confidence B.my dancing grandma
C.my grandma's dancing D.my grandma's gold cup
29、Covering more than 70% of our planet’s surface, the ocean contains a diversity of life and influences everything from global weather patterns to food systems. 【1】 However, there are handy actions you can take that will make a big difference.
★ Check the label.
Overfishing is the greatest threat our ocean faces. Help keep fisheries and fish stocks healthy by choosing sustainable seafood when you go shopping or dine out. 【2】 Blue and green fish logos on your seafood ensure that your fish can be traced back to sustainably-managed fisheries and farms.
★ Travel smarter.
Consider booking your next trip through a responsible travel company that is committed to protecting wildlife, and hiring guides who are aware of rules and best practices. Once you arrive at your destination, be respectful of marine ( 海 洋 的 ) life and habitats. 【3】 Purchasing certain items, such as coral jewelry or shark products, damages ecosystems and threatens endangered species.
★ Increase your ocean IQ.
The more you learn about the ocean, the better prepared you’ll be to inspire change — and help others do the same. Thankfully, there are many ways to educate yourself about the ocean and the challenges it faces. 【4】
★ Support green campaigns.
【5】 For example, you can support local restaurants, grocery stores, and businesses in your community that offer sustainable seafood and replacement for single-use plastics. Besides, being an advocate (拥护者) for the ocean and the life within can be as simple as speaking out about the importance of the vast (广阔的) ecosystem.
A.And think twice about your purchases.
B.Ask shopkeepers to start offering sustainable seafood.
C.What’s the easiest way to make sure your seafood is sustainable?
D.So when we hear the ocean is in trouble, it’s easy to feel powerless.
E.You can find related information from books, documentaries and websites.
F.Of course, it matters to tell your friends and family why the ocean matters.
G.Consider volunteering at local organizations aiming to protect ocean habitats.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day I was travelling to San Antonio by train to visit my sister. The train was a little crowded and there was a young man sitting next to the window. Since it was a hot day, I wanted that window seat more than anything else at that time. As a young lady, I thought the young man would give me the seat if I asked him. So I smiled at him and asked whether he could give up his seat and take another one. To my surprise, he said that he needed that seat and refused my request. I had no choice but to take the seat next to him.
The train was crossing station after station. The weather was so hot that the scenery(风景) outside the window could not attract my interest I had nothing to do, so I started to focus my attention on the young man and stare at him up and down. He wore a blue shirt and there was a shawl(披巾) on his legs. He did not even rise from his seat once, which made me feel a little bit strange. Moreover, only a madman would use a shawl in such hot weather, I thought.
After the five-hour long journey, the train arrived at the final stop. I picked up my bag and stood up, waiting for the door to open. I gave a neglectful (不经意的) look at the young man and asked, “The train has arrived at the final station. Are you not getting off?” Hearing my words, he began to smile at me and said in a calm voice, “Someone has to come for me and take me off the train because I can’t do it by myself. ”I gave my full attention to his legs, only to find there was nothing under that shawl!
