Liz Payne BBefore meeting Haruki Murakami in London this September, I already knew that he was a big deal in Japan, where his fans bought a million copies of Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, his 13th novel, in its first two weeks last year.In my opinion, Murakami looks about ten years younger than he is, and this is the result of running and swimming that hes kept up. He says, For more than 30 years, Im running almost the same distances as when I was younger, but the times are getting worse.Shortly before we met, Murakami told his readers at a book festival that his lifetime dream was to be sitting at the bottom of a well. Yes, he says, nodding. I always feel that I go to the dark places when I write. Only in the darkness can I see the story. I dont think I have a special gift. I dont think that way.My main interest to write novels and stories, he says, is to find what I am. Im 65 years old, but Im still curious what I am. You know, Im a writer. Im kind of famous. Ive been writing for 35 years. Im kind of successful and I have readers worldwide but I dont understand why that happened. It seems to me like a miracle. I dont think Im a great person, a smart person, a talented person, but I could write. I just want to find out why that happened to me.When Murakami wrote his novel Kafka on the Shore, he ran a website on which fans could share their ideas and ask questions. Each reader, he says, sent me their opinions. Many of them were just not the right opinions. But when I read a thousand of them, I felt They understand me! I trust the readers.24. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage probably is the name of .A. a novel B. a film C. a magazine D. a play25. Why does Murakami look much younger than he is?A. Because he has a great number of fans.B. Because he loves writing novels and stories.C. Because he keeps up running and swimming.D. Because his dream is to sit at the bottom of a well.26. What is the purpose of Murakamis writing novels and stories?A. To prove his special talent.B. To know himself better.C. To become famous worldwide.D. To find what the world is.27. From the last paragraph we can learn .A. Kafka on the Shore was Murakamis first novelB. Murakami put Kafka on the Shore on a websiteC. Murakami learned about readers over the networkD. Murakami put readers opinions into his new book. C Heres a new warning from health experts: sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods, even if you exercise regularly, could be bad for your health. And it doesnt matter where the sitting takes place-in the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV. Just the overall number of hours it takes counts. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.While health officials have issued(发布) guidelines advising on the least amounts of physical activities, they havent suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals, said Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes controlling the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefits if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single hour.Still in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether they exercised or not.Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits, Ekblom-Bak said. And when theyre in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible.28. The underlined word “offset in Paragraph 6 most probably means .A. turn toB. work out C. get rid of D. make use of29. Sitting too much is dangerous because it can .A. make a person unable to exercise enough in a dayB. destroy the balance of glucose and fat in the bodyC. increase glucose and fat in the bodyD. make a person become lazy30. In the opinion of Ekblom-Bak, when at work, youd better have a rest by . A. sending your friends emails B. taking a walk around your office C. chatting online or playing computer games D. listening to music while sitting31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Side Effects of Sitting Too Much B. Dont Sit Too Much While Working C. More and More People Sit Too Much D. Sitting Too Much Could Be Dangerous DMost people think of racing when they see greyhounds(灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 1214 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They dont need a lot of space, dont make a lot of noise, and dont eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in many colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because theyre slim(苗条的), they dont have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.32. The text is written mainly _.A. to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB. to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveC. to let people know more about greyhoundsD. to tell readers greyhounds of different colors33. It can be inferred that greyhounds _.A. love big doghouses B. like staying in bed all dayC. make the best guard dogs D. need some exercise outdoors34. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?A. They are big in size.B. They live a very long life.C. They can run races for some time.D. They are quiet and easy to look after.35. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important _.A. to keep it slimB. to keep it warmC. to take special care of its legsD. to take it to animal doctors regularly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。Everyone wants to perform well at school.
