21、Sure, there’s no one-size-fits-all way to personal health. But if there’s a secret to physical exercise success, this could be it.
Whether you want to lose weight or grow high, it’s no secret that staying active is an essential and necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. But as for exactly how much exercise you should be doing, it all depends on your exercise goals.
Still, there are general rules that anyone should follow, according to the personal trainer Tom Mans. Many people show the one thing that finally made them love exercise. “The type of exercise you do finally depends on your ability, goals, likes and dislikes, equipment available, what injuries you have, and how much time you have available,” Tom Mans told The Independent. Sadly, hitting the gym once or twice a week won’t cut it. Four or five times a week is perfect; however, Mans said you should aim to hit the gym at least three times each week in order to see real results. “A frequent gym routine exposes your body to a lot of training equipment throughout the week, which enables the body to adapt, get stronger, slimmer and fitter,” Mans said. “There are many exercise motivation secrets that actually work in the Internet. You can learn them easily.”
“Each exercise should last for about 45 minutes to one hour,” Mans said. His preferred routine includes a 10-minute warm-up, 30 to 40 minutes of weight training, and five to 10 minutes of cooling down and expanding.
According to Mans, it’s best to take a day’s rest between weight-lifting exercises to allow your muscles to recover. You need recovery days for those muscles to rest, just like you need sleep every day. Think of your recovery days as days for your muscles to sleep. Lifting without the proper rest and recovery can lead to big issues like extreme tiredness, and mood swings. So take a day off after exercise, but make sure to have other movements in those days to stay active.
【1】What decides your amount of exercise?
A．Your intention.
B．Your weight.
C．Your salary.
D．Your lifestyle.
【2】What do the underlined words “cut it” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Go to waste.
B．Bring about tiredness.
C．Take effect.
D．Increase weight.
【3】Why should you rest for a day between weight-lifting exercises?
A．To have more time to sleep.
B．To get help from personal trainers.
C．To do some gentler movements.
D．To make muscles return to a normal state.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Best ways to keep healthy
B．Effective ways to lose weight
C．Suggestions about how to grow high
D．How often and how long to exercise
22、Salad seeds（生菜种子）that went on a round trip to outer space and back grew at a slightly slower rate than the ones on earth, scientists have found, thanks to thousands of young people who helped conduct an out-of-this-world experiment.
The project started in 2015, when British astronaut （宇航员）Tim Peake took a million rocket seeds with him on his journey to the International Space Station （ISS）. The seeds spent six months there before they were sent back to Earth in 2016. In a message sent from the ISS, Peake said the science experiment was to find out if the conditions in space affected the seeds' ability to grow.
Around 600,000 pupils at 8,600 schools in the UK were then asked to grow the rocket seeds that had been to space, along with regular seeds that had never left the planet. Peake described the experiment as "one of the largest and most inspirational experiments of its kind".
The results of the study, which have just been published, found that the space seeds grew more slowly than the ones that had stayed on Earth. Researchers on the experiment said this was due to the stresses of space travel, such as the zero-gravity （零重力）atmosphere and high levels of cosmic rays（宇宙射线）,which slowed the growth of the plants.
Now researchers are hopeful that if the seeds are properly protected, it might be possible to grow plants during future space tasks to other planets. Dr Jake Chandler, from University of London, who led the study, said,“ The possibility of eating home-grown salad on Mars may be one small step closer.
【1】Why did Tim Peake take seeds to ISS?
A．To explore the secret to gravity.
B．To have astronauts grow salad in ISS.
C．To promote young kids，interest in salad.
D．To test the space's influence on seeds growth.
【2】How did Tim Peake feel about the experiment?
A．Encouraged.
B．Disappointed.
C．Confused.
D．Concerned.
【3】From which part of a website is the text probably taken?
A．Health.
B．Science.
C．Educatn.
D．Business.
【4】What could be the best title of the text?
A．Space study, a hot topic
B．Salad growing, a hit among students
C．Your salad, grown on Mars, may soon be a reality
D．Man's exploration to Mars, a big step forward
23、People have always supposed that there is a huge gulf between animal evolution and human development. However, recent research into animals indicates that animals are continuously designing innovative methods to finish their tasks. Examining the nature and results of their creativity can help us understand evolution.
Research shows that animals too can be creative. By inventing new behavioral patterns and adjusting their behavior to new contexts, as well as to changes in social and ecological environments, researchers show that animal innovation too can be diverse. For instance, chimpanzees (猩猩) use tools such as sharp spines and stalks to remove the hearts of palm vegetables from trees. Herring gulls (鲜鱼海鸥) found out quite a cruel way of killing rabbits—drowning them in the sea.
Innovative species tend to survive when they enter new places, but novel behavior cannot be recognized unless “normal” behavior is studied. Researchers can now count and document the innovations that have been created by species, which would help them to quantify their creativity. Studies also show us that all animals are not equally inventive, with primates (灵长目动物) tending to be more innovative due to their bigger brains.
The greatest scientific significance has been the innovation shown by animals such as apes, capuchins and macaques among primates. These species of primates possess the biggest brains in proportion to their body sizes. They are also heavy tool users. Their broad diets and complex forms of learning are also insightful. They indicate an evolutionary strategy that gave them new solutions to life’s challenges.
However, even if these animals show innovativeness, they do not have the ability to improve upon solutions of others. Unless they share information accurately and copy each other’s inventions, their creative inventions are likely to vanish before they can be innovated further. This ability can be managed only by humans, for we are able to build on shared knowledge.
【1】What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Connection.
B．Conflict.
C．Balance.
D．Difference.
【2】Why does the author mention “chimpanzees” and “Herring gulls” in Paragraph 2?
A．They create innovations in different ways.
B．They are both heavy tool users.
C．They are both creative.
D．They kill other animals in the same cruel way.
【3】What can we learn about animal creativity?
A．It is equally distributed among animals.
B．Animals’ innovations are easy to be identified.
C．It helps animals adapt to the environment.
D．Animals’ innovations are facing huge challenges.
【4】What aspect of animals does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Their inability to better others’ inventions.
B．Their willingness to learn from each other.
C．Their ability to share information accurately.
D．Their unwillingness to cooperate effectively.
24、Tips for Cycle Trips
Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．
Distance
On level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day．Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit．For many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it
will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities．
Geography
The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill．A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．
Eat
Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.
Sleep
While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.If you are exploring an unfamiliar word, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.
【1】Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?
A．50km. B．90km. C．130km. D．250km.
【2】Form the passage, we can learn that_____________.
A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips
B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists
C．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy
D．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude
【3】We can probably read this passage in___________.
A．a geography book B．a research report
C．a science fiction D．a travel magazine
