But a new study in February, 2022 suggested eating a lot of vegetables may not greatly cut down the risk of heart problems.The study is from universities in Oxford and Hong Kong, China. Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and cooked and uncooked vegetables they ate. The study actually found that the risk of dying from heart problems was around 15% lower for those eating the most vegetables, especially uncooked vegetables.However, scientists explained that many other factors (因素) also have something to do with this 15% drop. These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables. These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink. Lead researcher Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford said, “Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.”But does it mean that eating vegetables is futile? No. Many other scientists advise that people should still eat at least five kinds of fruit and vegetables every day. That’s because vegetables are important for keeping good health and reducing the risk of serious illnesses. 31.How many people answered questions for the study?A.About 4,000.B.About 1,000.C.About 100,000.D.About 400,000. 32.According to the passage which may affect heart health?①Whether we smoke.①Where we live.①How we get to work.①What job we do.①How much exercise we get.A.①①①B.①①①C.①①①D.①①①33.What does the underlined word “futile” in the last paragraph mean?A.Bad.B.Useless.C.Cheap.D.Necessary.34.Which of the following is TRUE about the study?A.Eating cooked vegetables is better than eating uncooked vegetables.B.Many factors are as important as eating vegetables to heart health.C.Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford started the study alone.D.Scientists found facts showing eating vegetables can keep heart problems away. 35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Vegetables are healthier than meat.B.Eating too many vegetables is bad for our health.C.Doctors across the world are lying about eating vegetables.D.Eating vegetables may not be so helpful to keep the heart healthy.配对阅读。

My friend Amy told me about her 16 to a small town called Gary, and how it 17 her life. I made up my mind to go there.When I told my parents about it, they didn’t 18 at first. They thought I didn’t know much about the place. It might be 19 for me to go there alone. Thankfully, after I explained my 20 plan to them, including what to do, whom to go with and how to keep safe there, they said yes.When our group arrived in Gary, 21 , I found the town was different from where I lived. I never imagined there were few stores or restaurants there and most had closed. So it would be very 22 if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Many houses had broken doors or windows. My job was to 23 them. The workdays were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look with bright colours.The children there were also different. They enjoyed every moment in life. For example, when they received an ice-cream, they would hold it carefully and taste every bit of it 24 .

To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.ChuiwanChuiwan was very popular in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when the balls were hit into the hole 3 times, could the player win the point.ArcheryIn Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771BC), archery was an important part of education for gentlemen. At 15, they began learning archery. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the emperor, the head of the country. The competitors greeted each other before shooting arrows and drank together after it. As one of the six Chinese arts, archery didn’t become popular until Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the emperors used archery to fight, and to make themselves fit.CujuFirst recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football: The ball was made of hard leather on the outside and filled with feathers or rice bran inside. As a fun game, cuju was first used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the other team’s goal.26.What sport was chuiwan similar to?A.B.C.D.27.Which is not the reason for people to learn archery across history?A.To educate young people.B.To protect themselves from attack.C.To keep strong.D.To compete against emperors.28.What can we know about cuju?A.The ball was hard outside and empty inside.B.It was played by 12 or 16 players.C.It was invented to relax soldiers.D.Players could use head and feet to hit the ball.It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see thesunrise.Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained, “I have made diving suits that used special air tanks before I sent you the note. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees.Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we explored further.(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 29.According to paragraph 1-3, which is NOT true?A.In the beginning, I was on the ship Nautilus.B.Ned, Captain Nemo, and I would explore together.C.The Captain started the trip because of his love for the sea.D.Captain Nemo had made special suits for our exploration.30.In what order did the following events happen?a. We went through a door to the bottom of the sea.b. We reached the undersea forests.c. Captain Nemo invited me to explore the forests.d. Captain Nemo got ready for the trip.e. We saw colorful seashells and crossed a grassy area.A.d-c-a-e-b B.d-c-a-b-e C.c-d-a-e-b D.c-d-a-b-e 31.How did I feel when visiting the forest?A.Tired.B.Hungry.C.Amazed.D.Proud.32.What will the story probably continue to talk about?A.When they returned to their ship.B.What they dreamed about while sleeping.C.Why they felt so sleepy.D.How they travelled deeper.The XinjiangSalamandersKnown as Central Asian salamanders, the Xinjiang salamander is an amphibian (两栖动物)that has lived for more than 300 million years. For a long time, they were thought to have died out. In 1989, they were discovered again in Xinjiang. They are considered to be a living fossil of amphibians.Population:The population of Xinjiang salamanders has risen from around 1,700 in 2015 to over 3,000 in 2018.Appearancе:It’s a “four-footed fish” around 20 centimeters long and much smaller than other giant salamanders, with an oval body, long tail and smooth skin.Home:The Xinjiang salamander is only found around Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang, but in no other places in the world.Food:Because of the bad weather in Tianshan Mountain, the Xinjiang salamanders do not have many kinds of food to eat. They mainly feed on insects in water, such as caddisflies, betonies and stoneflies.Behaviour:Xinjiang salamanders have poor eyesight. They often get lost on land, especially on cloudy and rainy days. They are afraid of light, so they often live under stones or grass. They also produce eggs under stones. If cows and sheep on the farm pass by, they would accidentally step on them. Salamanders have no natural enemies except themselves: young salamanders are often eaten by adult salamanders!Protection:The weather in Tianshan often changes greatly, making it difficult for the Xinjiang salamanders to live there. Besides, with decreasing wetlands and increasing human activities, its population dropped quickly. To protect the amphibians from dying out, a large nature reserve was set up in Wenquan County in 1997. People have also tried to protect the grassland and wetland where they live, and have built a monitoring system to learn about their growth. In 2016, a scientific research and education center was put into operation. In 2022, 139 baby salamanders were born there.33.What does the underlined sentence try to show about Xinjiang salamanders?A.They can live longer than dinosaurs.B.They are old, so they can become valuable fossils.C.They appeared in ancient times but have lived till now.D.They are thought to be the oldest living animals.34.What can we know about Xinjiang salamanders from the passage?A.Their population grew fast from 2015 to 2018.B.They are almost as big as other giant salamanders.C.They can also be found outside Xinjiang.D.They have rich food choices.35.Which helps Xinjiang salamanders keep safe?A.Living with farm animals.B.Lying under stones and grassland.C.Travelling on land in terrible weather.D.Keeping baby and adult salamanders together.36.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To explain how Xinjiang salamanders become living fossils.B.To tell new discoveries about Xinjiang salamanders.C.To show general information about a special salamander.D.To encourage people to visit surprising salamanders in Xinjiang.How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages!All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals!The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow.Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops.Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these?

But smiles are more than just a way for people to show their happinessand joy. 41First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. 42Second, smiles show you are kind and polite. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice and proper clothes. 43 That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy.Third, smiles have power. 44 If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people will be likely to laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up.Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. 45 You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long.A.Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling.B.There are other good reasons for smiling often.C.So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!D.Both smiling and laughing can easily pass from one person to another.E.However, as the saying goes, “a smile is the best thing a person can wear.”三、短文填空根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。

The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it.ChatGPT is just one of the AI tools around the world. You need data centers to do everything on the Internet. There are more than 8,000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing.AI uses a lot of water to “grow”. The world’s water may not be enough.
