第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The dangers of sitting all day are obvious. Researchers have shown that remaining sitting for
extended periods of time (like at your 9-to-5 desk job) can do harm to your health. While exercise is a
big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting, it was unclear how many gym periods were needed
to help – until now.
A new study, published in The Lancet, shows the ideal formula for reducing the negative effects
of a sedentary（久坐的）job. Instead of a fixed number of hours spent exercising, the ratio（比率）
depends on how much you sit: people who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one
hour each day moving. If you sit six hours a day, you should spend half an hour exercising. The
research also indicates that the exercise doesn’t have to be all once – or rigorous（严格的）. It can be
spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.
The team behind the study analyzed data from a pool of a million adults over the age of 45 in
Western Europe, the United States, and Australia. Using previous data, the researchers examined data
from 16 published studies and used it to determine how much exercise is required to compensate for
sitting. Their recommended daily exercise goal is higher than previous advice but not necessarily less
achievable, given it can be completed throughout the day.
Fitting in an hour of exercise a day sounds especially discouraging if you have a desk job, but
there are plenty of workouts you can complete before and after work. Even if it means taking a
10-minute walk during lunch, your body will thank you in the long run.
21. The underlined words “compensate for” can be best replaced by ________.
A. make up for B. break away from
C. give up D. take the place of
22. According to the new study, good news for the people working long hours at desk is that
________.
A. workouts may reduce the harm of sitting for long
B. the harm of sitting for long has been proved
C. they don’t have to exercise as long as suggested previously
D. the time spent on exercise is flexible
23. What can be inferred from the article?
A. The best form of workouts is walking.
B. The longer you exercise, the better.
C. The new exercise goal is practical though higher.
D. A desk job makes it impossible to exercise regularly.
24. The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.
A. by example B. by process C. by comparison D. by contrast
B

“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I
was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stopping
abruptly and completely.
In her Study, participants were randomly( 随 机 地 ) assigned to two groups. One had to quit
abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the
course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also
had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it--more than one-fifth of
them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is
much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the
people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon,
you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as
well. They think, “Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that
wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction
and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they even reached the day, which could be why fewer
people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re
ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a
specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s acceptable. It gives them the
encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the
odds of success.
28. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?
A. She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.B. She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.
C. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.
D. She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.
29. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?
A. They were given physical training. B. They were offered nicotine replacement.
C. They were encouraged by psychologist. D. They were looked after by physicians.
30. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?
A. It is encouraging B. It is unexpected
C. It is impractical C. It is misleading
31. Take the idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) as an example to show that quitting smoking .
A. is something few can accomplish B. requires a lot of patience
C. needs some practice first D. is a challenge at the beginning
D
That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a
phenomenon known as the first night effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night
they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to
investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved.
The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the
following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals
put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid
predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer
look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s
Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights
and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki
found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second,
taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the
participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the
left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in
the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping
participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a
different tone during the night. She worked out that if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep
guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep
and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
32. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?
A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.
B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.
C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.
D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.
33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?
A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.
B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.
C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.
D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.
34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?
A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.
B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.
C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).
D. She compared the responses of different participants.
35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?
A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.
B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.
C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.
D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）

Many of us are hardwired NOT to ask for help. We think it makes us appear weak. We think
people will say no. we think we have to do everything ourselves. ___36___. We have to get over that,
and there’s how:
Get over yourself

time and energy. ___37___.
Rebuild your thinking

do something or don’t have the time. ___38___. It’s a chance to connect, a chance to value a
colleague, a chance to get something done faster or better, a chance to optimize your own time and
talents.
____39___
Asking for help is about tapping valuable resources to get the best outcome the most quickly with
the fewest resources expended. That’s a fancy way of saying “get the right people for the job.”
__40___. And the best way to do that is to know your colleagues, and proactively build relationships.
A. Know your colleagues.
B. Think about your colleagues.
C. Your energy can’t be wasted.
D. It’s a smart strategy.
