It sounds like a fashion. But it does have a basis in science. That, by itself, may not be surprising. Health ministries ask people for decades to do more exercise. What is surprising is that long periods of inactivity are bad regardless of how much time you also spend on officially approved high-impact stuff like pounding treadmills(跑步机) in the gym. What you need instead, the latest research suggests, is constant low-level activity. This can be so low-level that you might not think of it as activity at all. Even just standing up counts, for it invokes muscles that sitting does not. Researchers in this field trace the history of the idea that standing up is good for you back to 1953, when a study published in The Lancet found that bus conductors, who spent their days standing, had a risk of heart attack half that of bus drivers, who spent their shifts on their backsides. But as the health benefits of exercise and vigorous(强度大的) physical activity began to become clear in the 1970s, says David Dunstan, a researcher at the Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia, interest in low-intensity activity --- like walking and standing --- became weaker. Over the past few years, however, interest has been excited again. A series of studies, none big enough to provide convincing evidence, but all pointing in the same direction, persuaded Emma Wilmot of the University of Leicester, in Britain, to carry out a meta-analysis. This is a technique that combines diverse studies in a statistically meaningful way. Dr Wilmot combined 18 of them, covering almost 800,000 people and concluded that those individuals who are the least active in their normal daily lives are twice as likely to develop diabetes(糖尿病) as those who are the most active. She also found that the immobile are twice as likely to die from a heart attack and two-and-a-half times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease as the most mobile. Crucially, all this seemed to be independent of the amount of vigorous, gym-style exercise that volunteers did. 4. The surprising thing mentioned in Paragraph 2 is that ______. A. Low-level activities are better than high-level ones. B. Long periods of inactivity are bad to people’s health C. The benefits of high-impact exercise are not highly approved by people D. Strong physical activities cannot make up for the bad effects of inactivity. 5. Why did people lose interest in low-intensity activity in the 1970s? A. Researchers didn’t devote much to studying their health benefits. B. The health benefits of high-impact exercise were widely recognized. C. It was believed to be unable to invoke all the muscles of the body. D. It was proved not so effective in reducing the risk of heart attacks. 6. The findings made by Dr Wilmot ______. A. disagreed with her assumption B. consisted with the results of the 1953 study C. changed her original research objectives D. confirmed David Dunstan’s research results 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The history of the theory. B. The benefits of standing up. C. Low-level activity and health. D. A series of epidemiological studies. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现即使像站着这样的低强度运动也对健康有好处。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What is surprising is that long periods of inactivity are bad regardless of how much time you also spend on officially approved high-impact stuff like pounding treadmills(跑步机) in the gym.”可知，令人惊讶的是，长时间不 运动是不好的，不管你花多少时间在高强度运动上，由此可知，令人惊讶的事情是高强度运 动不能弥补不运动造成的不利影响，故 D 项正确。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But as the health benefits of exercise and vigorous(强 度大的) physical activity began to become clear in the 1970s, says David Dunstan, a researcher at the Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia, interest in low-intensity activity --- like walking and standing --- became weaker.” 可知，20 世纪 70 年代，随着人们普遍认识到高强度运动对健康的好处，人们对低强度运动的 兴趣逐渐变弱，故 B 项正确。 【6 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the idea that standing up is good for you back to 1953, when a study published in The Lancet found that bus conductors, who spent their days standing, had a risk of heart attack half that of bus drivers, who spent their shifts on their backsides.”可知，1953 的一个研究发现，整天站着的公交售票员患心脏病的风险 只有倒班公交车司机的一半，再根据第四段中的“She also found that the immobile are twice as likely to die from a heart attack and two-and-a-half times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease as the most mobile.”可知，Wilmot 发现不运动的人死于心脏病 的几率是活动最频繁的人的两倍，由此可知，Wilmot 的发现与 1953 年的研究结果一致，故 B 项正确。 【7 题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了研究发现即使像站着这样的低强度运动也会对健康 有好处，降低患心脏病和糖尿病的风险，由此可知本文主要介绍的是低强度运动和健康之间 的关系，故 C 项正确。 C Dyeing eggs has long been an Easter tradition, but it’s the dyeing of baby chicks that is upsetting in some states. The dye, which is often ordinary food coloring, is either injected into eggs being hatched or sprayed onto newly hatched chicks. Although hatchery owners say the practice is harmless, critics argue that spraying the birds with color is stressful and that dyeing the animals transforms them into something attractive that can be thrown away when their colorful feathers disappear. “These are living creature and dyeing them sends out a message saying that they are more of a new and unusual object than a living animal,” said Dr. Marc Copper, senior scientific manager for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Dyed chicks --- and sometimes rabbits --- have been a traditional part of the Easter holiday in some parts of the world, but the practice has gone largely underground in the U.S. because many people view it as cruel. Today, about half of U.S. states ban the dyeing of animals, but last month the Florida Legislature passed a bill to remove the state’s 45-year-old ban. The drive to end the law wasn’t related to Easter chicks; it was done at the request of a dog groomer(美容师) who wanted to enter pet beauty contests. Florida governor Rick Scott must agree to remove the ban, which would be lifted July 1, but the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida(ARFF) has asked him not to remove the ban. In addition to allowing animals dyeing, the law would also lift a ban on selling baby animals as pets, and the organization fears that next year the state could see hundreds of dyed baby chicks on the market. As long as the dye is not poisonous, experts say the birds’ health isn’t affected, and there are scientific reasons to dye animals. Wildlife researchers often inject eggs with dye to track birds in the wild, and teachers have dyed chicks for educational purposes. However, animal advocates are quick to point out that dyeing baby chicks for Easter isn’t educational --- it’s done simply to earn profits. 8. What can we infer from Cooper’s words? A. He finds it dangerous to dye eggs. B. He likes dyed birds’ colorful feathers. C. He is in support of the hatchery owners. D. He is among the critics of dyeing animals. 9. What do we learn about dyed baby chicks in the U.S.? A. They are mainly sold in secret. B. They are as common as dyed eggs. C. They are welcomed by most Americans. D. They are getting more popular in the world. 10. What was the purpose of the bill? A. To protect Easter chicks. B. To ban pet beauty contests. C. To make animals dyeing legal. D. To prevent the sale of baby animals. 11. What is the ARFF’s attitude toward the bill? A. Tolerance. B. Opposition. C. Doubt. D. Caution 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国大约有一半的州禁止给动物染色，但上个月佛罗里达州议会 通过了一项法案，取消了该州实行 45 年的禁令，不同的人和组织对此有不同的态度。 【8 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Cooper 的话“These are living creature and dyeing them sends out a message saying that they are more of a new and unusual object than a living animal,”可知，这些都是活生生的动物，把它们染色会发出这样一个信息，表明它们是一种 新的、不同寻常的物体，而不是活生生的动物，由此可知，Cooper 是染色动物的批评者之一， 故 D 项正确。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“but the practice has gone largely underground in the U.S. because many people view it as cruel.”可知，在美国，染色小鸡主要是在暗地里秘密贩 卖的，故 A 项正确。 【10 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Today, about half of U.S. states ban the dyeing of animals, but last month the Florida Legislature passed a bill to remove the state’s 45-year-old ban.”及第六段中的“In addition to allowing animals dyeing,”可知，如今，美国大约 有一半的州禁止给动物染色，但上个月佛罗里达州议会通过了一项法案，取消了该州实行 45 年的禁令，允许给动物染色，由此可知，这项法案的目的就是为了使给动物染色合法化，故 C 项正确。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Florida governor Rick Scott must agree to remove the ban, which would be lifted July 1, but the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida(ARFF) has asked him not to remove the ban.”可知，佛罗里达州州长同意解除禁令，但佛罗里 达州动物权利基金会要求他不要解除禁令，由此可知，佛罗里达州动物权利基金会对该法案 持反对态度，故 B 项正确。 【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于要根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，切不可凭借主观 臆断，例如本篇第 1 题，根据第三段中 Cooper 的话“These are living creature and dyeing them sends out a message saying that they are more of a new and unusual object than a living animal,”可知，这些都是活生生的动物，把它们染色会发出这样一个信息——它 们是一种新的、不同寻常的物体，而不是活生生的动物，由此可知，Cooper 不同意给动物染 色，也就是说，他是染色动物的批评者之一。 D When asked about her childhood in the documentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-old woman with dementia(痴呆) replies, “I’ve forgotten so much.” Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “That’s Louis Armstrong,” she says. “He’s singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to my school days.” She then recalls exact details from her life. Why does it happen? Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on us --- such as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become intertwined(紧密相连) in our neural(神经的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of these long-past events. As Alive Inside shows, music has this power even for many people with dementia. Researchers note that the brain areas that process and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than other areas, and they think it may explain the phenomenon. They also pay attention to elderly people with dementia, especially those in nursing homes. “It’s possible those long-term memories are still there,” Johnson says, “but people just have a harder time accessing them because they’re in a strange place and there are not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those memories.” Johnson also notes that music is not universally useful for all people with dementia since there are some people with dementia whose brain area that recognizes music is damaged. Despite music’s apparent benefits, few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,” Johnson says. Petr Janata is one researcher investigating the topic of music and memory. He says that scientists still do not have the answers for why and how music reawakens memories in people with dementia, but this phenomenon is real and it’s just a matter of time before it’s fully borne out by scientific research. 12. What helps the old woman in Alive Inside recall her childhood? A. A film she has watched before. B. A song she has listened to before. C. The voice of her childhood friend. D. The description of her school days. 13. What benefit of music is discussed in Paragraph 2? A. It helps make lasting memories. B. It helps cure patients of dementia. C. It helps arouse emotions in special events. D. It helps remember dance movements easily. 14. According to Johnson, what should we do for elderly people with dementia? A. Send them to nursing homes for good care. B. Provide familiar environments for them C. Play lots of classical music to them. D. Talk to them about their past. 15. What do we know about the study into music and memory recall in people with dementia? A. It is criticized by Petr Janata. B. It is a ground-breaking study. C. It is supported by solid evidence. D. It applies to all people with dementia. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项研究发现音乐有助于老年痴呆症患者重拾记忆。 【12 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “That’s Louis Armstrong,” she says. “He’s singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to my school days”可知，是 Louis Armstrong 唱的 When the Saints Go Marching In 这首歌让她回忆起了童年，故 B 项正确。 【13 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，特别是“Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of these long-past events.”可知，即使多年后，听到这首歌也会让人回 忆起那些久远的往事，由此可知，第二段主要介绍的是音乐有助于形成持久的记忆，故 A 项 正确。 【14 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“but people just have a harder time accessing them because they’re in a strange place and there are not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those memories.”可知，Johnson 认为在一个陌生的环境里，老年痴呆症患 者很难会重拾以前的记忆，由此可知，Johnson 认为我们应该为老年痴呆症患者提供他们熟悉 的环境，故 B 项正确。 【15 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,””可知，很少有 研究探究音乐对老年痴呆症患者的记忆的影响，这真的是一个未开发的领域，由此可知，这 项研究极具开创性，故 B 项正确。 【点睛】本篇第 4 题的难度较大，关键在于对文章总结性句子的理解，科普类说明文的总结 句一般在文章最后一段，根据最后一段中的“few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,””可知， 很少有研究探究音乐对老年痴呆症患者的记忆的影响，这是一个未开发的领域，特别是“an untapped area”表明了这项研究极具开创性。 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Violent Games: Fun or Harmful? If you play lots of video games, you’ve probably blown a zombie(僵尸) into tiny bits. ___16___ Many adults worry that playing such games could make children act violently in real life. Is that true? The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) says that violence in any kind of media --- from TV to music to video games --- presents a risk to kids’ health. A number of studies have shown a link between video games and aggression, including one published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014, which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviors. ___17___ But not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out. Another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸发) in a game. ___18___ People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first. And here’s an even stranger fact: When violent video games are released, people carry out fewer violent crimes! Why? ___19___ Steve Levitt, coauthor of the book Freakonomics, said, “If you can make video games fun enough, then kids will stop watching TV, and they’ll stop going out and creating violent disorder on the street.” What do you think? ___20___ A. One possible explanation: potential criminals are at home playing the new game. B. Then, before playing the game, some people received training and others didn’t. C. More than 3,000 kids answered survey questions during a two-year period. D. For example, thinking it’s OK to hit someone you don’t like. E. Have you ever played any violent video games? F. Do violent video games cause bad behavior? G. Some games even pile up dead bodies. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了暴力电子游戏到底是有趣还是有害？ 【16 题详解】 根据本空前的“If you play lots of video games, you’ve probably blown a zombie(僵 尸) into tiny bits.”可知，如果你玩很多电子游戏，你可能已经把僵尸炸成了碎片，故 G 项（有些游戏甚至把尸体堆起来）符合语境。 【17 题详解】 根据本空前的“which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviors.”可知，一个研究表明玩暴力电子游戏的孩子表现 出攻击性思维和行为的增加，故 D 项（例如，认为打你不喜欢的人是可以的）符合语境。 【18 题详解】 根据本空后的“People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.”可知，那些没有经过任何训练就玩非暴力游戏的人比那些玩暴力游戏但 先学会控制自己的人在游戏结束后更具攻击性，故 B 项（在玩游戏之前，一些人接受了训练， 另一些人却没有）符合语境。 【19 题详解】 根据本空前的“When violent video games are released, people carry out fewer violent crimes! Why?”可知，当暴力电子游戏发行时，人们实施的暴力犯罪更少了，这是为什么？ 故 A 项（一种可能的解释是：一个潜在的罪犯正在家里玩这个新游戏）符合语境。 【20 题详解】 根据本空前的“What do you think?”可知，你怎么认为？此处承接上文，故 F 项（暴力电 子游戏会导致不良行为么？）符合语境。 【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，空格前出现的疑问词往往是重要线索，例如本篇第 4 题， 根据本空前的“When violent video games are released, people carry out fewer violent crimes! Why?”可知，当暴力电子游戏发行时，人们实施的暴力犯罪更少了，这是为什么？ “Why?”一词表明此处应该会提到一种解释，A 项中的“explanation”正好与之对应。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Several years ago, I quit my job to chase my dream of writing a book, but that book was ___21___ repeatedly.
