21、For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
【1】How did the researchers reach their conclusion?
A．By analyzing a mass of data.
B．By conducting genetic research.
C．By comparing various levels of activity.
D．By tracking the subjects for many years.
【2】What does the study show about depression?
A．Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B．Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C．Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D．Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
【3】What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Harmful.
B．Complex.
C．Unusual.
D．Common.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To discuss a disease.
B．To introduce a method.
C．To analyze a genetic risk.
D．To explain a phenomenon.
22、 2019-nCoV, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 10000 people since the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December. Scientist Leo Poon, who first decoded the novel virus, thinks it likely started in an animal and spread to humans.
“What we know is that it causes pneumonia (肺炎) and then doesn’t respond to antibiotic (抗生素) treatment, which is not surprising, but then in terms of death rate, SARS kills 10% of the individuals,” Poon, a virologist at the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong, said.
2019-nCoV can make people sick, usually with a mild to moderate upper respiratory tract illness (上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold. Coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly, there’s a chance that the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia orbronchitis (支气管炎).
There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (中东呼吸综合症), also known as the MERS virus, was first reported in the Middle East in 2012 and also causes respiratory problems, but those symptoms are much more severe. Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, also known as SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms. First identified in Guangdong Province in southern China, according to the WHO, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea (腹泻), fatigue (疲劳), shortness of breath, respiratory distress (呼吸窘迫) and kidney failure (肾衰). Depending on the patient’s age, the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable (易受伤害的).
Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels, according to the WHO. With SARS, scientists suspected civet cats were to blame.
When it comes to human-to-human transmission of 2019-nCoV, often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person’s secretions (分泌物). Depending on how virulent (有毒的) the virus is, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause exposure. The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers (护理人员) can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient’s waste, according to the CDC.
【1】Which of the following can explain the underlined word “decoded”in paragraph 1?
A.found or discovered something.
B.put something into a code.
C.changed something into ordinary language.
D.changed something into a form that can be processed.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Antibiotic treatment has some effect on 2019-nCoV.
B.2019-nCoV usually causes severe illness similar to a pneumonia or bronchitis.
C.Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia, MERS and SARS are all caused by corona viruses.
D.2019-nCoV spreads just by getting close to the infected person.
【3】What type of writing is the passage?
A.An instruction. B.A news report.
C.An advertisement. D.A scientific paper.

24、Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 【1】 So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? 【2】 In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
【3】 When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸)yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. 【4】
Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 【5】 In detail, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A．It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of culture!
B．Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C．Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.
D．To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
E．So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F．The more you learn, the more used you get to respecting cultural differences.
G．Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (侨民团体)with their own customs.
