On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and
speedos!
Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystem with their large
diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders
to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult
and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not
send the right message.”
It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water
averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius . He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the
freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops,
which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim,
his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to
return to normal.
Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.
Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the
physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.
This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one
kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015,
he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set
up a marine reserve there.
24. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?
A. To swim faster. B. To show his bravery.
C. To build up his body. D. To win public attention.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. His body. B. The water.
C. His body temperature. D. The water temperature.
26. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?A. One must be fully prepared.
B. One should be expert at swimming.
C. One should be ready to take on challenges.
D. One must be used to long-distance swimming.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause
B. How to survive a swim in cold waters
C. How to prepare for extreme swimming
D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric
(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present,
these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that
gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节
奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a
strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key
presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s
identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to —
regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with.
Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch"
four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize
different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the
keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive,
plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which
allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens
and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking
cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical
psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’
plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and,
when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that
appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences.
Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school,
are "most likely to engage(从事)in dangerous and risky behavior."
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys (调查研究). "We
found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates.
But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy
adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play
date-sharing, kindness, openness — carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and
connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research , Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is
likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being
liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain
an advantage, " he said.
32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.
33.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
34. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air" . 36 According
to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
37 If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the
smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors,
your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌
肉)and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治
愈). 38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that
just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a
better mood(情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their
window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39
It gives us a great feeling of peace.
40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin
D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as
you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time
for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his
home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had
encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled (骑行) along
alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this
beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that’s a big dog!” he thought. But
when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up
with him.
Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the
spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its
head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing
open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the
chase (追赶).
Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to show
down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Paul and Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think
much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they
spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they
realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the
wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Paul and Becky got out of the car immediately to give help.
But with the bare hands, they didn’t dare to fight with the wolf. However, they still approached to the
wolf bravely. At the same time, the wolf also noticed them and turned its head back, shouting loudly
at Paul and Becky. Mac then jumped off the bicycle and was ready to fight against the wolf. That
reached deadlock.
Paragraph 2:
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. They found the dangerous situation, where three
men circled the wolf. Mac’s friends also jumped off their bicycles and joined the fight with the wolf.
More and more cars stopped. Some drivers took out the sticks from the cars, and some took out the
knives, even the guns towards the wolf. Just at that time, the wolf might feel the threats from the
people, starting to withdraw. Soon, it ran away off the road and disappeared in the distance.
