Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity (长寿). People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors (因素) that could increase their risk. “Residence (居住) in mountainous areas seems to have a protective effect from heart disease,” said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues guess that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to deal with lower levels of oxygen.Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 meters above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up. “The contrast was more evident among men than among women,” Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the worlds top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.24.That people living at higher altitude have lower chance of dying from heart attack maybe because they_.A. have good dieting styleB. live more happilyC. often climb mountainsD. know how to keep healthy25.What does the underlined word “evident” in the last paragraph mean?A. clear. B. good. C. hopeful. D. lucky.26.According to the text, people are more likely to die from .A. smoking B. heart diseaseC. high blood pressure D. being overweight27.What can we infer from the text?A. People often climbing mountains wont be ill.B. The research of the Greeks lasted about 10 years.C. Four other illnesses reduce the chance of developing heart disease.D. A person smoking often has a chance of developing heart disease.CA European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three-dimensional (3 D) printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimts The Kiss. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.Klimt finished the painting in 1908. People who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2020. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couples robes were so detailed.Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it, she said, Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details. Raditsch said She could imagine what the original painting looked like when she touched the reproduction. Its somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places its so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too! Raditseh said.The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado Museum, in Madrid, Spain have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part. it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anyplace in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions by themselves.28. What is The Kiss?A. A European Union project. B. A popular painting.C. A 3-D technology. D. A famous museum.29. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?A. Because the painting was reproduced detailedly.B. Because the original artwork was made in 1908.C. Because blind art fans cant download the source.D. Because the 3-D technology is not available.30. How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?A. Awkward. B. Puzzled. C. Excited. D. Nervous.31. What is the best title for the text?A. A European Union Program for Museum VisitorsB. 3-D Printing Lets the Blind Experience Famous PaintingsC. How to Reproduce the World-famous PaintingsD. A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, AustriaDWhat will man be like in the futurein 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example, Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (光秃的).Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. But in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.32.The passage mainly tells us that _.A.humans neednt wear glasses in the future.B.mans life will be different in the future,C.future man will look quite different from us.D.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.33.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “assume” in Paragraph 2?A.predict B.think C.pretend D.know34.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. future life is always predictable (可预测的)B. human beings will become less attractive in the futureC. less use of a bodily organ (器官) may lead to its degeneration (退化)D. human beings hope for a change in the future life35.Future man will be similar to us in _.A.Colour and height B.size and appearanceC.thought and observation D.thought and emotion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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Thanksgiving is the time for good food, good drinks and high calories. Don t worry about it. 36 If you plan your day correctly, you can actually burn off your Thanksgiving turkey just by being a great guest or host and embracing Thanksgiving traditions.Grocery shop.
