AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world, but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described as______.A. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBTeenager Red Gerard pulled off （赢得）a shock win in the men's slopestyle snowboarding (自由式单板滑雪) to get the first gold medal for Team USA at the WinterOlympics. At long last the USA has not had to wait until the second day of an Olympic Summer or Winter to win its first gold medal since 1998.The 17-year-old crashed on both of his first two runs in high winds , but achieved an unbelievable final effort that no one could match to become the youngest American man to win an Olympic winter gold medal since 1928.Sitting in 11th place after two runs, Gerard impressed the judges deeply with his fall through a series of rails and huge jumps to beat Canadian riders Max Parrot (2nd place after two runs) and Mark McMorris (lst place after two runs) to the silver and bronze (铜牌) respectively."I was surprised to make it even to the finals of the Olympics and to get first is above me, I don't even know what's going on to be honest," Gerard told the British reporter Oliver Jeffers. "I cannot believe what has just happened—it is insane. " Parrot put down a near-perfect run as the last rider to go down, but it wasn't good enough to knock Gerard off the top spot. McMorris, who had been in the lead after two rounds, took his second straight Olympic slopestyle bronze less than a year after crashing into a tree, which almost killed him.Gerard was a child prodigy(奇才), who could walk at nine months. He started snowboarding at the age of two and managed to do a standing backflip by the time he was six years old. He joined the American national team just four years ago. His Olympic journey is set to continue in the men's big air competition, which will be making its debut in an Olympic Games on Feb 21.24. What does Red Gerard think of his win in the men's slopestyle snowboarding?A. It is all worth it.B. It is not a shock.C. It is beyond all question.D. It is beyond expectation.25. Who won the second place in the men's slopestyle snowboarding?A. Red Gerard.B. Max Parrot.C. Oliver Jeffers.D. Mark McMorris.26. What can be inferred from the text?A. Gerard is the youngest gold-medal winner at the Winter Olympics.B. Gerard got the highest mark in the final round.C. McMorris crashed into a tree in his last effort.D. Parrot performed perfectly in all his runs.27. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. A great winner in American historyB. An accident at the Winter OlympicsC. Teenager Red Gerard won the first gold medalD. Snowboarding winners at the Winter OlympicsCOn the occasional clear-frost autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organis(转基因生物); deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.Our world is changing rapidly. In the last five decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine（饥荒）one might have predicted.How do scientists modify（改进） a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter（一窝） of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest and richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists toidentify and clone the genes responsible for controlling stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks(茎) that could bear more seeds—the high-yield crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant's weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don't have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and nurture one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, nourishing the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.28. Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph?A. To advise people to keep wolves as petsB. To persuade readers to welcome the new technologyC. To change people's attitude towards wolvesD. To introduce a technology used to humans' advantage29. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops.B. With GMO technology, famine has been wiped out.C. Artificial selections make high-yield plants possible.D. The author believes technology should contribute to future generations.30. What can be learned about modifying a plant?A. It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct.B. One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes.C. Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering（改变）DNA.D. The general public show strong faith in GMO plants.31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.GMO Technology—Turning Wolves into the Best PetsB. Engineered Food—Feeding Future GenerationsC. Engineered Food—To Be or Not To BeD.GMO Technology—A Driving Force in World PeaceDKepler 22b, a planet more like Earth than any yet discovered, has been identified as a potential future home for mankind.Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 22℃. It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life.It is, however, 600 light years from Earth. The planet, where a year lasts 290 days, was first spotted two years ago.However, NASA scientists using the agency’s Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope yet for future human habitation outside the Solar System.One of the key standards for a planet to be habitable is that it remains roughly the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot.This range of ideal temperatures is known to scientists as the “Goldilocks”zone, as the temperature is “just right” for life.Bill Borucki, Kepler principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Centre, said: “We have now got good planet confirmation with Kepler 22b. We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.”There are now three planets outside the system, known as exoplanets, which experts believe could potentially be colonised (建殖民地) by future generations.In May, French astronomers identified Gliese 581d, which is far closer at around20 light years away. It is about six times the mass (质量) of Earth and is one ofa family of at least six planets.In August, a team from Switzerland reported that another planet called HD 85512b and 36 light years away seemed to be habitable.The planet is in the constellation（星座） of Vela, measuring around 3.6 times the Earth’s mass.According to an online catalogue that indexes bodies outside our solar system, a total of 47 exoplanets and exomoons are potential habitable candidates but not enough research has been done to be sure.32. Whether a planet is suitable for mankind to live on doesn’t depend on ________.A. whether it is close enough to EarthB. whether there are proper temperaturesC. whether there is atmosphere around itD. whether there is land and water on it33. In what way is Kepler 22b like Earth?A. Its mass.B. Its size.C. Its shape.D. Its conditions.34. It can be learnt from the passage that ________.A. Kepler 22b is closer to Earth than Gliese 581dB. Kepler 22b’s mass is greater than HD 85512b’sC. Kepler 22b’s year lasts longer than the earth’sD. Kepler 22b is most likely to be habitable of all35. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the farther a planet is away from the earth, the more likely it is to be habitableB. the longer a year of a planet lasts, the farther it is away from the Solar SystemC. the more potential habitable exoplanets are found, the more research we should doD. the smaller mass a planet has than the earth, the less possibly there is water on it第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。
