That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution， technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr. Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in. There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly ， people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones，and old people are less active than young ones.Less obviously，women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive， compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia，Finland， Iraq and Luxembourg，for example，move more than their male countrymen. Malta wins the race for most slothful country，with 72% of adults getting too little exercise ， and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind ， with 69%.In Bangladesh，just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly，six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr.Hallal’s study，compared with fewer than four in ten British. These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span as smoking. 21．We may learn from Paragraph 1 that . A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discovered B. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise C. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree D. the good enough data has been collected from only one country 22．According to the study，women of Luxembourg . A. have little time to exercise B. hate to get regular exercise C. take more exercise to lose weight D. exercise more than men in their country 23．The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”． A. lazy B. rich C. powerful D. unpopular 24．What can be the best title for the text? A. Benefits of Taking Exercise B. New Health Discovery C. Evolvement of Human Beings D. Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise B Leonardo da Vinci’s mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist—Angelo Paratico, who has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century. Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci, a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance( 文 艺 复 兴 )Italy. The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence that there’s a link between Da Vinci and the Far East. Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Mr Paratico said, “I am sure that Leonardo’s mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method(演绎法). One wealthy client of Leonardo’s father had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardo’s date of birth, she disappeared from the documents．She was no longer working there.’’ It is believed that his mother was called Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local peasant. But Mr Paratico’s new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci’s mother was a slave. Supporting his theory, he said, “During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East.” He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci’s life and works which suggest a Chinese link. For instance, he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian, which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother，as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese. Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci’s relations in Florence and extract some DNA. 25．What is Mr Paratico’s latest book based on? A. His research findings． B. His living experience． C. His final visit to Italy． D. His interest in Renaissance． 26．What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese? A. His working habit． B. His ways of writing． C. His birth date． D. His father’s friend． 27．What can we learn about Da Vinci’s mother? A. She was a slave of Leonardo’s father． B. She quit working after her marriage． C. She was buried in Florence after death． D. She was probably the model of Mona Lisa． C Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals. We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life. Through the Internet, I have recently met an individual (个人) whom I found to be very inspiring. He has a positive attitude; he focuses on what he can do. To name a few of his accomplishments: he has set a world record, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records; he is an international poet with over 900 publications; he is an advocate (拥护者) for the disabled; he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week; he is an ambassador (大使) for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation; he has created his own website—http://wheelierecord. Tripod. com/ index. html. And the list could go on! The individual is Robert M ． Hensel. You see, Robert was born spina bifida, a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an influence on the kidneys (肾 脏). Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements, yet he has accomplished more than many. His attitude to life is one that, for me, is inspiring! To quote Robert, “I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.” Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes. Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do, but focus on what you can do！ 28．What stops us from achieving success according to the author? A. Negative attitudes B. Constant changes C. Too high goals D. Various limitations 29．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A disease B. A disability C. An attitude D. A story 30．Why has Robert M．Hensel made many achievements in his life? A. He has never changed his attitude to life. B. He always looks beyond his strengths. C. He takes advantage of his disability. D. He concentrates on what he can do. 31．How does the author support his idea in the text? A. By offering examples B. By comparing attitudes C. By analyzing limitations D. By telling stories D In a strange example of “art inspires life”，the self­drying jacket that Marty McFly wore in the movie，Back to the Future Ⅱ，has actually become a reality.A model has already been created and a Kickstarter campaign plans to raise funds for mass production. The jackets，named SDJ­01，are classified as wearable tech，because of the inner air circulation(环流；循环) system that speeds the drying process from the inside out.Under normal circumstances ， you can expect the jacket to dry in about 1 － 2 minutes after being exposed to rain or a spilled drink.If you jump into a pond to escape danger，it will probably take longer. “Think of how quickly your clothes dry when you turn a standard fan on them.Now imagine how quickly breathable(透气的)，water resistant(抗……的) material dries when exposed to concentrated，high­pressure air.In lab tests，our jacket consistently experienced noticeable drying effects after just 30 seconds，with the average time of about a minute to achieve a 90% drying effect，” explained Aaron Coleman，lead designer at Falyon Wearable Tech，which is producing the jacket. “This is something that has been on my mind for years，” he said.He didn’t want it to be just a movie prop，but an actual usable jacket.“We wanted to follow the basic design of the jacket from the movie Back to the Future Ⅱ but update it a bit，adding more pockets for all the things people carry around these days.” Eventually ， Coleman and his team hit upon the perfect combination of water resistant material and high­pressure air circulation to achieve complete drying in just one minute.The outer layer is made of water resistant nylon，with insulation(绝缘材料) made of polyester fibre on the inside.It dries itself through a couple of so­called “air amplifiers(放大器)” attached to the sides，which force more air through the jacket. According to the makers，the SDJ­01 is ideal for rainy days and spills，and the fans are perfect to cool off on days “when you’re just a little too warm，but it’s too cold to take off your jacket”． 32．How long does the SDJ­01 take to achieve a 90% drying effect，on average? A. About 30 seconds. B. About a minute. C. About 1－2 minutes. D. Longer than 2 minutes. 33. According to Aaron Coleman，in what way is the design different，compared with the jacket in Back to the Future Ⅱ？ A. The number of pockets. B. The function of pockets. C. The colour of pockets. D. The shape of pockets. 34．What is the main achievement by Coleman and his team in developing the SDJ­01? A. The noticeable drying effects of high pressure air on wet clothes. B. The inner air circulation system can speed the drying process from the outside. C. The perfect combination of water resistant material and high­pressure air circulation. D. The various functions of water resistant materials during rainy days and spills. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A. The ideal design of a self­drying jacket. B. Marketing strategies for a self­drying jacket. C. The development of a self­drying jacket. D. A basic introduction to a self­drying jacket. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is important if you want to get in good shape. To have a perfect body, someone go to extremes to lose weight. 36． In the weight loss industry, there is never a lack of ideas about how to lose weight. Consider the “Sleeping Beauty diet,” where you sleep your way to weight loss. You cannot eat if you are sleeping, or so the theory goes. 37． The tapeworm (绦虫) is said to help people lose weight by eating the food that is stored in their stomach. But first you have to be willing to eat the little worm. This may be more trouble than many people want. Strange, new diets and exercise programs arrive on the market every day. 38． The weight loss industry takes in billions of dollars each year, and it is growing. Experts say there is no single diet plan that works best for everyone. Many experts agree on one thing: you must use or burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight. When you eat more calories than your body needs, it stores that extra energy as fat. 39． A pound of fat is equal to about 453 grams or 3,500 calories. To lose that fat in a week, you have to burn off at least that amount in calories or eat that much less. 40． Eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so that you burn off more. A. Then there is the tapeworm diet. B. Calories are a measure of energy in food. C. But no plan has come out as a clear winner. D. The best thing to do is to combine both ideas. E. These lead to a big industry — weight loss industry. F. But experts say exercise alone is not enough if your goal is to lose weight. G. Each one promises to help people lose weight and get a beautiful body. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chinese students when he spoke to them in Chinese.
