According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all. Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers (慢跑者) and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (动脉).Over time,this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr,a researcher in Copenhagen,said,“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy (寿命),jogging a few times a week at a moderate (适度的) pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary,and it may be harmful.”The implications (暗示) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi,yoga and brisk (轻快的) walking may be better for us than “iron man” events,triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott,another researcher involved in the study,“You dont actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldnt actually do too much”.28.

It consumes too much energy.31. What can be inferred from the next?A. No exercise at all is the best choice. B. More exercise means a healthier life.C. Marathons runners are least likely to die. D. Proper exercise contributes to good health.DHilversumis a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They build themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. Most radio stations called in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch televison stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s, modern architects W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.32. Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that _.A. it has a large population B. it is cut off from big citiesC. it has many beautiful gardens D. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil33. What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?A. Building a railway link to Amsterdam. B. Helping its textile industry to develop.C. Constructing large villas for the poor. D. Assisting its agricultural industry.34. The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of _.A. a radio factory B. the medial capitalC. a radio station D. a TV station35. What is known about W.M. Dudoks Hilversum Town Hall?A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings. B. It looks like an open air museum in the city.C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks. D.
