2 . New scientific research has found that attending live sporting events improves levels of well-being and reduces feelings of loneliness. The study used data from 7,209 adults, aged 16—85, living in England who joined in the Taking Part Survey, carried out by the British Government.

The study found that attending sporting events results in higher scores of two major aspects of subjective well-being—life satisfaction and a sense of “life being worthwhile” —as well as lower levels of loneliness.

Nowadays many initiatives (倡议) promote the benefits of physical participation in sport, but the researchers believe that watching live sporting events can also offer an accessible and effective public health tool for improving well-being and reducing loneliness.

Lead author Dr. Helen Keyes said, “Previous research has focused on specific sports or small population samples, such as college students in the United States. Ours is the first study to look at the benefits of attending any sporting event across an adult population, and therefore our findings could be useful for shaping future public health strategies, such as offering reduced ticket prices for certain groups.”

“The live events covered by the survey ranged from free amateur events to Premier League football matches. Therefore, further research needs to be done to see whether these benefits are more noticeable for high level sport.”

“However, we do know that watching live sport of all kinds provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to establish group identity and belonging, which in turn reduces loneliness and makes a difference to levels of well-being.”

1. The new research focused on whether attending live sporting events ______.

A．benefits people of different ages	B．results in higher scores of study
C．improves levels of happiness	D．reduces the harm of working alone

2. We know that Dr. Helen Keyes and her team are the first to ______.

A．promote the benefits of physical participation in sport

B．believe watching live sporting events helps reduce pressure

C．offer reduced ticket prices for a certain group of people

D．study how attending sporting events benefits adults

3. What does the underlined word “noticeable” mean in Paragraph 5?

A．Easy to see.

B．Hard to change.

C．Possible to lose.

D．True to believe.

4. What does Dr. Helen Keyes think of their findings?

A．Useless.

B．Helpful.

C．Funny.

D．Tiring.

3 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with     1     lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both     2     year ten and we got on well.

The British school day     3     (begin) at 9 a. m. and ends at 4 p. m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student must study English, Maths and the Science     4     (subject): Biology, Chemistry and Physics. They can also choose     5     (study) other subjects, such as History, Art and Business.

The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom with the students     6     (move) around for every lesson. I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. With the teacher’s help, I made a clock in the Technology classes. I like it so much     7     I still use it as my alarm!

However, learning English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words,     8     (especial) in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but sometimes I wasn’t able to express     9     (me). Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always     10     (friend) and helpful. My language skills improved over time.

4 . 下面文章中有3处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C和D）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Ways to Cut Your Carbon Footprint

Our carbon footprint, which drives more global warming, is connected with everything we produce, eat and buy. There are dozens of things we can do to reduce it.

    1    

About one-third of all food gets wasted every year. Producing food that won’t be eaten wastes valuable resources, including energy. It also creates a lot of greenhouse gases. If we don’t buy what we don’t need, we could cut our food carbon footprint by 12 percent.

    2    

People who use traditional vehicles can make up the largest part of carbon footprint. That’s why people should walk more, ride bikes or take public transportation. If you use your car, consider an electric vehicle（EV）. Once they hit the roads, EVs don’t emit planet-warming gases.

    3    

Everything we buy also contributes to our carbon footprint. So a key way to lessen the footprint is to buy fewer new things. Shopping for the second-hand goods cuts much pollution. Next best is to extend the life of your products. Recycle wherever you can.

A. Buy less new stuff
B. Reduce food waste
C. Eat plant-based foods
D. Green your travel

7 . There were two fishermen named Tom and Jack. They were close friends. One day they went out to catch fish together and have a fish meal in the field. They sat at a distance and started hunting for fish. Tom got a big and beautiful fish in a few minutes. He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. He decided to cook the fish at noon. He spent some more time and caught a few more fish. He decided to make a grand meal with the fish. Also, he froze a few fish to take them back home.

After an hour or so, Tom went to Jack to see if he needed any help. Jack said no. In a few minutes, Jack caught a large fish. However, he put it back into the lake. Tom was surprised at his act, but he remained silent. Jack caught more big fish, and put them all back into the lake. Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, “Are you mad? Why do you put your fish back into the water? They are beautiful and big!” Jack replied, “I know they are big, but I don’t have the big pan to cook the big fish! So I’m looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan! God is troubling me today.”

1. What did Tom and Jack go out for?

3. Why was Tom angry with his friend?

4. What would be Tom’s advice for his friend at the end of the story?

A．Asking God to send him only small fish.	B．Taking a bigger pan with him next time.
C．Changing his fishing pole to catch small fish.	D．Cutting the big fish into small pieces to fit his pan.

8 . Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room? Do you need a helping hand? Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists at Stanford University in the US became popular online. In the videos posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes on its own. It’s also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes.

Sounds good? Well, another video posted by researchers may disappoint some people. Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it. So it may break dishes, bump into (撞上) things and even burn a pot.

The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time, said the team after they did more research on it. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, it’s far from perfect.

In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as math and playing chess, but they face challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. For example, if its body doesn’t move correctly — even just with a small mistake, its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.

“Robots are not ready to take over the world,” the team posted online.

10 . Johnson arrived at the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Argentine Andes. He began his climb to achieve his dream after years of preparation. But he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later and later. He did not prepare for camping, so he had to keep on climbing.

Soon night fell and Johnson could not see anything. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing only about 10 feet away from the top, he slipped and fell. He could only see darkness passing at a great speed. He kept falling… He thought certainly he would die.

But then Johnson felt the long rope tied to his waist (腰部) pull very hard. His body was hanging in the air. He had no other choice but to shout, “Help! Help me!”

Suddenly he heard a deep voice, “What do you want me to do?”

“Save me!”

“Do you really think that I can save you?”

“Of course.”

“Then cut the rope.” However, Johnson just held tighter (更紧地) to the rope.
