21、Journey to the West
If you have a dream, go for it.
My dad talked of the jewel in China’s western part, Tibet Autonomous Region. Tibet was a region I wanted to see and discover but its remoteness and my inability to find the right time to go delayed my journey. After a few talks with my dad, we decided to take a pause in our lives for a few weeks in July 2019 to start an amazing adventure.
We started our journey on a Saturday morning at the Guangzhou train station in south China. We started the first leg of the journey admiring the mysterious mountains of south China. The next day it changed quite suddenly to the dry, waterless landscape of central-west China as we passed through Shanxi and Gansu provinces. That evening we arrived at Xining, Qinghai Province, where we got onto the Xining-Lhasa train.
We were greeted on the train with Tibetan yogurt. The train signs were also written in Tibetan, the beautiful handwriting matched its environment and people. The following afternoon we arrived in Lhasa. Lhasa, one of the highest-altitude cities in the world, is a gem hidden on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We started our tour of the jewel by exploring the palace and watching local people do morning prays and dances in the park. Overlooking the Jokhang Temple, we enjoyed an amazingly beautiful breathtaking view, just like we had been in the fairyland. It’s a stunning (令人震惊的) golden temple in the middle of old Lhasa, which we visited next before wandering in the old quarters and Barkhor Street in the evening. Barkhor Street is the ideal place to try local food and buy local products.
The following day, we started our journey to the Qomolangma base camp by road from Lhasa. Along the way we stopped to admire the beautiful Yamdrok Lake, a huge freshwater lake that is one of the three largest sacred lakes (圣湖) in Tibet. Yaks (牦牛) in blankets and bells at the lake made for a picturesque impression of perfect countryside Tibet.
About a week later, the highlight came in the afternoon when we arrived at the Qomolangma base camp. We were staying in a guesthouse just next to the base camp. After dropping off our backpacks, we headed straight outside to see the magnificent Mt Qomolangma. There it was, the top of the mountain peeking through the clouds, astonishing us with its unbelievable height. We enjoyed the mountain waves and saw the beautiful clouds separated until the sunset over the peak, feeling I would have regretted for the rest of my life if I hadn’t made the journey.
【1】The author wanted to go to Tibet Autonomous Region because _____.
A.his father wanted him to travel there
B.his father thought it was worth visiting
C.he was interested in the mysterious place
D.he wanted to go to the farthest place of China

22、I started the latest round of the NutriFit programme weeks ago. We took about 45 minutes to go through participants’ health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to tailor the programme to meet each individual’s needs.
I was shocked by one thing. When it came to weight-loss goals, I usually asked, “When was the last time you were happy with your body?” The reply usually related to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college — the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, “Of course, I wasn’t happy with it then, but I am happy with it now!”
It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don’t really like the body shape, there will possibly be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don’t mean to upset anyone who is improving their body shape right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy with and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.
That’s why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic(全面的). Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy, better immunity, well-balanced hormones(激素)... The list goes on.
In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it will become a mentally healthier process. If you’re going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy — a lifestyle that you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to rather than you have to, life will get 1,000 percent easier.
【1】What did the author and his partners do to tailor the programme for individuals?
A.They introduced the programme in detail.
B.They examined participants’ physical health condition.
C.They got clear about participants’ health history and plans.

【2】What made the author shocked?
A.People’s discontent with their previous life.
B.People’s optimism about their current body.
C.People’s satisfaction with their former body.
D.People’s ambitious goals of losing weight.
【3】What does NutriFit pay attention to now?
A.People’s image.
B.People’s health.
C.People’s weight.
D.People’s appearance.
【4】What should a successful nutrition programme focus on in the author’s view?
A.Weight loss.
B.A healthy lifestyle.
C.A sound exercise plan.
D.Enough nutritious food.

24、Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine ”, says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.
Merzenich has developed a computer---based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.
Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. “It’s a bit like tennis instructor,” says Merzenich , “hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick.”
The biggest finding in brain research in last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.
To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...... “When it comes to preventing aging, you really do “do it or lose it”, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.
【1】Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.
A. the information being dealt with
B. computer languages
C. the activities one joins in
D. speech training
【2】By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic”, the writer probably means the brain can be____
A. developed B. mastered
C. used D. researched
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. Practice makes a quick mind
B. Brain research started ten years ago.
C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer
D. People used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.
【4】Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?
A. The training methods work better for the old
B. The training of the brain should start at an early age
C. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.
D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.
25、阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was _______laughed at for being heavier than the other kids, _______ me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but _______worked, and I _______gaining weight. Another factor _______ my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating.
When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds. _______ the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my _______ in a mirror and the truth hit me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and _______.
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss _______ and realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge, ________ the diet satisfy my hunger and not feel deprived.
My biggest ________ was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to prevent myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about. ________ had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found the ________after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.
The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn’t feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it ________.
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.
