At 81 years old, Jeanne Daprano is still pushing her body to the limit. She’s still running competitive races, breaking world records and taking on new challenges. “The thing I’m learning about aging is that it’s inevitable,” Daprano said. “I’m not going to escape it. There are two ways to go: You can either press on or give up.”
Daprano grew up in Iowa. Then, she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her student. “I was known as a running teacher,” she said. “I had my students do fitness before we studied in the morning and then throughout the day.” Then she began running competitively with 5K and 10K road races before moving to the track. She is now the world record holder in the women’s 75-year-old age group 400 meters and 800 meters. “When I get to the final finish line, I want this body to be worn out. I’m not doing this to live to be 100. I’m doing this to be the best I can be today.”
After moving to Atlanta about a decade ago, Daprano met fitness trainer David Buer. Ever since, she’s been coming to his gym, where he tailors workouts for Daprano’s specifc needs. “When she came to me, she was pushing 70 years old,” Buer said. “I’ve worked with other individuals at Jeanne’s age, but she came to me with different goals. She had a unique drive and passion — not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general.”
Last February, Daprano took on a new challenge: her first indoor rowing competition. In classic fashion, she broke the world record in the 80-to-84 age group, rowing 2,000 meters in 9:23:7. For those hoping to either start getting in shape or stay in shape for a long time, she offers this advice: Listen to your body. What are you passionate about How are you going to keep physically fit and mentally fit Start where you are. Don’t look ahead or compare yourself to somebody else.
What does the underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
Invisible. B. Abnormal. C. Impossible. D. Unavoidable.
Daprano started her life as a runner when .
A. volunteering in a 5K road race B. taking fitness training classes
C. working at a primary school D. moving to California from Iowa
What might be Buer’s first impression of Daprano
A. She was a qualified teacher. B. She was an unusual woman.
C. She was too old to run a race. D. She was hard to get along with.
What does Daprano suggest we do
A. Follow your heart. B. Live and learn.
C. Run right now. D. Be a good listener.

For anyone trying to lose weight, there’s a truth we can all universally acknowledge that better health is often positioned as a numbers game. Hit the right number, and all your health problems will magically resolve, so the logic goes. Yet increasingly, science is revealing that losing weight may not be a silver bullet after all. In a mouse study published in the journal Science, looking specifically at an inflammatory( 炎 症 的 )eye condition linked to obesity called macular
degeneration(黄斑退化), researchers found the struggle for better health doesn’t necessarily begin
and end with weight loss.
Researchers conducted experiments on mice that were fed a high-fat diet for 11 weeks, making them gain weight. The mice were then put on a diet of low-fat food for 9 weeks, making them lose weight. Another group of mice only ate the low-fat diet as a control. Researchers shot lasers into the eyes of both the yo-yo dieter mice and the control mice to encourage atypical blood vessel(非典型性血管) growth, a mark of macular degeneration.
Among the mice that had gained and then lost weight, there was about 40 percent more atypical blood vessel growth than their stable diet peers. Driving the growth appeared to be macrophages( 巨噬细胞). In the yo-yo dieter mice, these cells had been reprogrammed to cause inflammation. Taken together, these cells appeared to have an outsize role in atypical blood vessel growth in the eyes. Meanwhile, in the mice fed only a low-fat diet, inflammatory changes were absent. The results suggest that eating a high-fat diet that causes weight gain, even if followed by weight loss, leaves an inflammatory mark on mouse macrophages.
The research comes during a period of renewed interest in anti-obesity drugs. But medicines that help people shed pounds do not treat inflammation linked to a history of weight gain. “How to
engage these findings with medicine interventions is a challenge,” says Bapat, head of the research.
Which of the following best explains “a silver bullet” underlined in paragraph1
A. A workable solution. B. A tough choice.
C. An ultimate objective. D. A major challenge.
How do researchers carry out the experiment
A. By controlling test methods. B. By listing examples.
C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing diet components.
What can we learn about the research results
Stable dieting drives the growth of macrophages.
Losing weight doesn’t resolve the inflammation tied to weight gain.
Inflammatory changes are caused by the low-fat diet.
Reprogrammed cells are to blame for weight gain.
What will the research focus on next
A. Exploring ways of losing weight. B. Tracking the history of weight loss.
C. Boosting interest in anti-obesity drugs. D. Treating obesity-linked inflammation.
D
Many public museums have complex climate control systems to preserve the works in their care. Those technologies, including climate monitors and air conditioning, normally work unnoticed 24 hours a day. But now, as the rising prices of gas and electricity in Europe pose an immediate danger to museum finances, and with a growing awareness of their impact on the climate, some of the world’s biggest museums are beginning to act.
Over the past year, major museums have relaxed their standards and allowed a wider range of temperatures and humidity levels in some galleries, saving them thousands of dollars a month. They have conducted months of trials to prove the changes don’t endanger the items.
Yet in the rooms where borrowed items are on show, the old strict standards still apply. Loan agreements with other museums and private collectors mean those galleries must remain tightly climate-controlled, blocking institutions’ effort to lower energy bills and emissions.
The idea that art must be displayed in a climate-controlled environment is relatively new, said Southwick at the Vatican Museums. Masterpieces used to hang in unheated churches or palaces, she said. Some of the first museums to adopt climate-control technologies were in the U.S., with the
Yale University Art Gallery fixing a steam-powered heating system in 1874.
Temperature and humidity controls became commonplace after World War II, especially after conservators at the British Museum and the National Gallery, in London, published a series of influential books prescribing( 规定)the conditions to protect masterpieces in that chilly, damp city. Soon those ideas were applied everywhere, eventually becoming the standard for museum loans.
In December, the British government cancelled minimum temperature requirements for works covered by its art insurance program, to help museums save money during a cold winter. It’s hopeful that museums will change their tight climate standards for the sake of the planet as well as themselves.
What action do the world’s biggest museums begin to adopt
Seeking active cooperation with other museums.
Turning to more energy-efficient reserving means.
Lending their works to other museums for display.
Loosening their standards for keeping the works.
What prevents public museums from lowering energy bills and emissions
The borrowed items.
Private museums.
Loan agreements.
Climate-controlled technologies.
When did climate-control technologies become popular
When the standard was published in London.
When the first museums came into being.
When Britain cancelled the standard for loans.
When Yale University Art Gallery fixed a heating system.
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage
Old rules come to life for protection.
Loose conditions preserve works better.
Museums are designed to save energy.
Museums are taking action to cut costs.

Nowadays, many of us are finding ourselves tired out, struggling to build balance back into our lives. 36 Spending time near oceans, lakes, rivers and other blue spaces can provide a range of benefits including reducing anxiety, easing mental tiredness and refreshing us. Here is some advice on how to take advantage of the healing power of water.
37 You likely have some water close by, even if it is just a pond alongside the road. Start there. Then get out to water you can visit on the weekend or a vacation. Urban water counts—rivers, canals and fountains. 38 If you can’t get to actual water, then paintings, photographs, videos and movies can produce some of the same benefits. Even virtual reality helps.
Go often. A little bit makes a big difference. 39 But an environmental psychologist found that spending a similar amount of time near water has the same benefits. Even people who look into aquariums (水族箱) have lower heart rates and better moods after just 15 minutes.
Listen. One of the most calming characteristics of water is its sound, typically steady and soft.
The water sounds people find having the strongest healing power are rain in a rainforest, waves patting a beach, and a running stream. When the sounds of living things are added to the sounds of water, people like them even better. Make an audio recording of your favorite water. 40
Remember that all water counts.
It will bring back happy memories.
Stay in a place surrounded by water.
According to researchers, water can help us.
So does domestic water-in pools, bathtubs, even by fish tanks.
Spending some time every day near water can speed up our recovery.
It takes at least two hours a week in nature to improve our well-being.

When I became an amputee(截肢患者)at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 41 .
Too busy 42 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to 43 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I
moved forward.
44 , as I made my first walking outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall – a
45 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 46 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 47 my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 48 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with 49 in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 50 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go ”
I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 51 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’ ”
That incident made me think about how 52 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 53 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been
54 of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 55 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “You see I am here for the lamb,” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
“That’s my lamb now, Charlie!” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy
with a rope in his hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours!” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated ( 咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.
“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky (嗓子哑的) tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
But the more she explained, the stronger her children begged for Daisy.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Li Hua, a high school student from China. I am writing with the intention of telling you
some errors discovered on your signs during my visit to the museum.
During the visit, I found that some Chinese on your signs are improperly used and there are even
some spelling mistakes, which will contribute to misunderstandings for visitors. To make matters
worse, the fame of your museum will be ruined. So I do hope you can turn to Chinese experts for
help to correct the mistakes.
It would be better if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
But the more she explained, the stronger her children begged for Daisy. “ No!-No!-No! ”
they dashed to Daisy and threw their arms around her, begging, “ Please, mother! We would rather
go hungry than lose her!” Hearing this, Mrs. Grant was in great sorrow, her heart bleeding. After all,
she clearly knew that the children loved Daisy so much that she was, in their eyes, a family member!
Having struggled hard, she turned to the butcher and decided that she would not sell Daisy and
would return the money.
Paragraph 2:
The Butcher, who had been watching all, was touched in his heart. When Mrs. Grant took
out the money and gave it back, he just refused and said, “I will not rob the children of their pet!” He
promised that he would buy Daisy from their mother and then gave it back as a gift. Looking up at
him, one asked seriously, “Sir, do you really mean that ” The butcher just replied, “Of course, she is
OUR Daisy. My boy and I will come to see her occasionally. ” Hearing this, their little hearts were
filled with joy.
