The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick.Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic (慢性的) diseases.Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63,000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat.The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day.Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet, you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body.24The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that _.Adoctors should treat all the patients wellBdoctors should make use of every methodCone should value his health before he loses itDone should depend on himself to keep healthy25How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study?ABy examining some records and reports.BBy making some laboratory experiments.CBy talking with the doctors and patients.DBy watching the mens daily performance.26According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting, one should _.Aexercise more oftenBchange his jobCstay away from the deskDstand or walk moreCWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft（工艺，手艺） no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability （牢圈）. Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is to mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship. Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak （橡树） stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old. One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power plants help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.27What does the underlined work they （paragraph 2）refer to?ACarpenters who are fond of oak stairways.BCarpenters who have college degrees.CPeople who think highly of carpenters of oldDPeople who think that modern material is of low quality28What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?APeople in the past preferred to use oak to build stairwaysBIt is now expensive to employ a carpenter.CModern houses lasts as long as the old ones.DGood carpenters still exist in modern times.29Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are _.Amore successfulBmore learnedCmore imaginativeDmore hardworking30The underlined phrase boils down to can be replaced by _.Areduces by boilingBmakes shorterCresults inDlies in31What would be the best title for the text?AIs Craft Dead?BCraft, Back to Life?CHistory of CraftsmanshipDCarpenter Today and YesterdayDPeking Opera is being introduced to primary and middle school students in an effort to promote the traditional art to the younger generation.The countrys first set of textbooks about Peking Opera was edited and published by the Beijing Association of Promoting Quintessence of Chinese Culture and Peoples Education Press in 2020.The textbooks for optional courses have been put on trial use in middle schools in Fengtai district and will be used in middle schools across the city.

Schools apply for funds from the citys education department to hire professional actors and actresses to work with students as young as 6 or 7.Peking Opera arose during the rule of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (16441911). It flourished for decades in China and as its fame spread, it drew audiences in other countries, including the United States and Japan.Yet over the years, its popularity declined. While a significant number of people listened to radio productions of Peking Opera before the 1980s, generations born after that prefer pop culture to the traditional arts.32What is the purpose of introducing Peking Opera to primary and middle school students?ATo make their horizons broader.BTo increase their knowledge.CTo find their interest.DTo make Peking Opera passed on.33What is the meaning of the underlined words in Paragraph 3?Asold outBprinted outCissuedDdelivered34What can be inferred from the passage?AThe introduction process cant be completed very soon.BSince 2020, dozens of primary schools have started to provide opera training.CPeking Opera dates from Emperor Qianlong.DPeking Opera was popular with audiences from the United States and Japan.35Whats the attitude of generations born after the 1980s towards Peking Opera?ALike.BDislike.CHate.DDont care.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。Surveys in Britain and America consistently show that the biggest worry parents have for their school-age children is that they will be bullied(被欺凌). In Japan more pupils commit suicide(自杀) on September 1st, just before the start of the new term, than on any other day. _36 . Whats worse, many victims are too ashamed to tell a teacher. One former victim who recently finished high school in Vancouver says he kept the pain to himself for several months, worried that teachers would “judge” him. Children who are short, fat, disabled, gay or have poor social skills are at higher risk. In America, bullies(欺凌弱小者) pick on “nerds”. In China and South Korea, by contrast, those with poor grades are at higher risk. A study in 2020 of the Arab world found that the best predictor of being bullied was having crooked teeth. _37 . A graduate student at Oxford University says he was “emotionally scarred for at least five years” after being bullied in middle school in Hong Kong._38 .

He gave me the following advice.“Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is 44 . Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbors or your parents.
