The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. It’s not your normal exercise chatter—during some runs, one of them delivers a talk; the topics range from the brain to Bitcoin(比特币).But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first sign was the man who ran past them very fast. “Probably running a 7:15 pace (per mile),” Cassidy thought admiringly.Cassidy discovered why the man was so fast at running when another man ran by, yelling, “Help! He took my phone!”Hearing that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, chasing the suspect down the streets until he quickly hid in a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had abandoned the stolen phone in a backyard.No luck. Then they asked the residents whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door ofone house, they were in for a surprise. They didn’t know the thief had already come out of the construction site and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect suddenly rushed out from behind the bush and right into the arms of the campus police, who had joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not passionate(狂热的) runners. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. “Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,” Cassidy said. “But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.”24. What does the running group do at times while exercising?A. Play with their smartphones.B. Talk nonsense.C. Help search for lost things.D. Share ideas.25. How did Cassidy feel right after the thief ran past him?A Confused B. Frightened C. Impressed D. Motivated26. What does the underlined phrase “split up” refer to?A. gave up.B. got separated.C.stayed up.D. ran away.27. What message can we get from the story?A. Exercising can be socially beneficial.B. It's very important to keep fit.C. Whatever you do, you should do your best.D. Teamwork is more important than individual skills.CYoga is an ancient physical and spiritual practice originating in India. The word "yoga" comes from Sanskrit(梵文) and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It's not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, nature and the world. There is no written record of who invented yoga. Yoga practitioners(从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2 000 and 2 500 years ago.Various yoga types give you multiple choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellentfor beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience.In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep.28.Why did the United Nations set the International Day of Yoga?A.To promote the research into Sanskrit.B.To help people know more about India.C.

Yoga can be a cure for many kinds of diseases.D. Little or no exercise puts people’s health at risk.DWe all know cameras. But have you heard of Google’s new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognizefacial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Did people think it was strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that the device is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that technology has advanced,” Payne said. It was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. TouchingB. Brief.C. UnforgettableD. Embarrassing.33. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It is equipped with tough glassB. It enables easy Internet access.C. It can be worn on your clothingD. It allows of hands-free photography.34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The popularity of the InternetB. The rise of the smart phone industry.C. The advance in technologyD. The reduction in the price of lens.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Digital Camera from GoogleB. New Gadgets in the Age of AppsC. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday LifeD. An Alternative Way to Photograph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。
