Pick an activity that’s easy to fit into your life. Do at least 10 minutes of physical activity at a time. Choose aerobic activities that work for you.

Once you feel comfortable, do it more often. Then you can trade activities at a moderate level for vigorous ones that take more effort. You can do moderate and vigorous activities in the same week.‎ How can I tell an activity at a moderate level from a vigorous one?‎ Vigorous activities take more effort than moderate ones. Here are just a few moderate and vigorous aerobic physical activities. Do these for 10 minutes or more at a time.‎ 21. What is the main purpose of this text?‎ A.

The healing herbs from ancient days are still the healing herbs of modern times. Throughout all of these years herbs have remained unchanged; their quality remain as strong as ancient man and animals found it to be thousands of years ago. What has changed is the way man uses these healing herbs together with modern medicine of today.‎ ‎ Ancient man knew about the many benefits of healing herbs and passed on their knowledge form generation to generation. Today modern man continues to benefit from the wisdom ages ago. Actually, herbs can be any plant, flower, tree or shrub(灌木) that heals the body. According to early writings, man first noticed that when an animal was ill it would bite into specific plants, otherwise the animal will leave them alone.‎ ‎ Observing animal behaviors is still done today. Ten years ago, researchers at the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, noticed chimpanzees(黑猩猩) that were ill were eating Aspirin leaves. Researchers found that Aspirin leaves contained a kind of antibiotic(抗生素). These chimpanzees no doubt knew this plant would help heal their disease.‎ ‎ Most plant life has a pleasant smell. The writings of ancient man note that people rubbed these sweet plants on their bodies to keep insects away.‎ ‎ Some herbs mask the smell of smelly meat. The Egyptians used a variety of herbs to preserve their dead.‎ ‎ In conclusion, ancient herbs had a variety of purposes, and for thousands of years were used for the preservation of our foods, and to heal our bodies. Herbs can continue to play an important part in our lives if we open our minds to their importance and usefulness. In my opinion, it is always better to treat naturally with herbs, than to treat illnesses with man-made medicines. There are few if any side effects to taking herbs.‎ ‎24. The example of chimpanzees is used to suggest ___.‎ A. chimpanzees are clever animals ‎ B. man began studying herbs long ago.‎ C. Aspirin leave can cure many diseases ‎ D. animals helped man discover healing herbs ‎ 25. According to the text, the Egyptians used herbs ____‎ A. to keep off insects B. at the burial service ‎ C. to feed their animals D. for the preservation of foods.‎ ‎26. Which of the following about healing herbs isn’t introduced in the text?‎ A. How people knew about healing herbs. ‎ B. The benefits of healing herbs.‎ C. Side effect of healing herbs ‎ D. How ancient people use healing herbs in life.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude towards healing herbs?‎ A. He thinks highly of them. B. He refuses to accept them.‎ C. He thinks they’re ineffective. D. He thinks they have side effects.‎ C Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some ‎ basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercises and brain development. Judy Camerson, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(血管),including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”‎ ‎ The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning.” says Margaret.‎ ‎ Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or taichi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ ‎ A. How exercise makes people strong.‎ ‎ B. How to get good scores in a test.‎ ‎ C. How exercise helps the brain develop.‎ ‎ D. How the brain can change one’s memory.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?‎ ‎ A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels.‎ ‎ B. Physical exercise helps us think better.‎ ‎ C. The brain needs special mental exercise.‎ ‎ D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.‎ ‎30. For ordinary people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.‎ ‎ A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week ‎ C. three hours per week D. 40 hours per month ‎31. Why is yoga suggested for seniors?‎ ‎ A. It does good to the joints of old people.‎ ‎ B. It does not increase the heart rate.‎ ‎ C. It includes learning new actions.‎ ‎ D. It can be done in groups.‎ D ‎ Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.‎ His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snow-capped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired hie to start climbing.‎ ‎“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “ There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches(雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”‎ In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.‎ Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done.‎ The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it, ” said Viesturs. “ If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”‎ What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.‎ ‎32. What record has Ed Viesturs set?‎ ‎ A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.‎ ‎ B. He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.‎ ‎ C. He has become the first to climb the height of 26,545 feet.‎ ‎ D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the ‎ world.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.‎ ‎ A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset ‎34. The author used Viesturs’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ____.‎ ‎ A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport ‎ B. mountain should be regarded as living creatures ‎ C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy ‎ D. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing ‎35. What’s the next probable plan of Viesturs?‎ ‎ A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.‎ ‎ B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.‎ ‎ C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.‎ ‎ D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure. ‎ 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。‎ As warming continues，scientists warn the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more reduced，with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life.‎ ‎ 36 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer，it can hold less dissolved(溶解的)oxygen. The other reason is less obvious. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface—either from the atmosphere，or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 37 ‎ Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. That's because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化)of glaciers，icebergs，and ice sheets. 38 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 39 Instead，more of the oxygen will remain near the surface，where it will be used up by oxygenbreathing organisms.‎ A lowoxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100.They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall，until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans，but even 100，000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 40 　‎ A．It's not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.‎ B．Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.‎ C．Fresh water's inpouring will make the water at the ocean's surface lighter.‎ D．The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.‎ E．Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.‎ F．The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.‎ G．If they are right，we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文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。‎ Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor cars 41 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, 42 computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 43 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘) of 44 precious seconds in handling tasks.‎ All this saves time, but 45 a cost. When we lose or 46 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 47 ‎ ‎ behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 48 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit(传播) harmful 49 into our brains, a consequence we do not like to 50 about.‎ However, how do we 51 the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it 52 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 53 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 54 to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into 55 world.‎ There was a time 56 some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation (耕作) of the 57 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking (多重任务) there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a 58 of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor 59 . Modern machinery has 60 people from that primitive existence.‎ ‎41‎ A get B cover C make D fly ‎42‎ A while B thus C when D as ‎43‎ A time B product C speed D transportation ‎44‎ A wasting B saving C losing D spending ‎45‎ A in B on C with D at ‎46‎ A gain B earn C drop D miss ‎47‎ A come B forgotten C left D felt ‎48‎ A airplanes B computers C sea D cars ‎49‎ A radiation辐射 B prevention C combination D destruction ‎50‎ A wish B think C tell D carry ‎51‎ A control B handle C do D deal ‎52‎ A good B difficult C uncomfortable D easy ‎53‎ A second B day C year D time ‎54‎ A quietly B meaningfully C enthusiastically D actively ‎55‎ A all B another C else D other ‎56‎ A what B which C where D when ‎57‎ A surface B water C land D island ‎58‎ A view B way C pathway D point ‎59‎ A faced B expressed C charged D based ‎60‎ A kept B remained C cleared D freed 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎ With mobile phones, these problems increase. Many times you 61 ________________ (talk) with a friend, only for your friend to interrupt the conversation to answer a call. 62 some reason, a typical mobile phone call is nearly always give greater 63 (important) than a face-to-face ‎ conversation. Yet, once again, most mobile phone calls are about rather small matters. When 64 (ask) later what the call was about, your friend always answers, “Oh, nothing really”. If the call was really about ‘nothing’, then why was it so important as to interrupt your conversation and waste your precious time.‎ ‎ Using the mobile phone for text messages is the 65 (bad) . In one study, girls average 80 text messages 66 day, and boys average 30. What do people talk about in text messages? While these messages always seem important at the time, most people cannot really remember 67 the next day. ‎ Phones and text message focus on building relationships with many people. However , these relationships are often quite 68 (stability) . Many teenagers say that 69 they have a lot of friends, they really have no best friend. Meanwhile, real relationships are often sacrificed, 70 whatever personal peace one has is destroyed whenever the mobile phone rings. ‎ 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 单句改错（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）‎ 71.

It started out as skin cancer and spread to her brain. The doctors weren’t sure that she would make it through the winter. Well, i’m pleased to announce that she is now 100% cancer-free! We don’t know exactly what happened, but the doctors think it was a combination of the medicine she was taking and the new diet she was on. Personally, i think it had more to do with her heart and her positive attitude. While this is fantastic news, it is not the main reason i invited you all to my home this evening. We have decided, Nancy and i-- to donated my entire salary to a special foundation. It is something that the two of us are starting ourselves, to give people like us a chance of beating this terrible disease. The Date and Nancy ‎ Evans Foundation cancer, but that is not going to be our focus.
