A Lifesaving At-Home Checkup
More importance is attached to physical fitness nowadays. However, staying fit can be expensive when going to professional agencies for medical checkups. Here we show you three ways to do medical checkup at home, try them for a rough idea about your health condition.
1 Balance On One Leg
Hold for up to 60 seconds. If you fall down early, you may be at higher risk for brain decline. In a Japanese study, 30 percent of older adults who could balance for only 20 seconds or fewer had microbleeds in the brain, an early sign of risk for stroke or dementia(痴呆). These microbleeds can affect balance, memory, and decision making.
2 Touch Your Toes
Sit with your back straight, then lean forward and try to touch your toes. Not even close? You might be at risk for heart problems. By using this test, University of North Texas researchers found that some old inflexible folks have to have the heart work harder to provide enough blood, raising the risk of heart attack or stroke.
3 Sitting To Standing
Time how long it takes to lift and lower yourself from a chair ten times as fast as you can. Senior adults who did ten repetitions in 21 seconds or fewer were less likely to die over the next 13 years than those who took longer. The test requires muscle strength, balance, and heart fitness; being slow could mean underlying disease before symptoms arise.
The above are home tests everyone could do to keep you fit and they don’t require much time or money. Learn what possible dangers are hiding inside you and how to deal with them.
56. What may go wrong if you balance on one leg for only 20 seconds or fewer?
A. Heart. B. Brain. C. Leg. D. Muscle. 57. A person’s muscle strength can be tested by ____. A. sitting with the back straight B. balancing on one leg C. touching the toes D. sitting to standing
58. The three ways to do medical checkup mentioned in the passage are ____. A. money-saving B. long-lasting
C. energy-demanding D. resources-wasting
【答案】56. B 57. D 58. A
【解析】本文介绍了三种在家做体检的方法，它们都节约钱。 56. B
细节理解题。根据第二段中In a Japanese study, 30 percent of older adults who could balance for only 20 seconds or fewer had microbleeds in the brain, an early sign of risk for stroke or dementia(痴呆).如果一条腿的平衡只有20秒或更少，大脑可能出毛病。故选B。 57. D
细节理解题。根据3 Sitting To Standing中Time how long it takes to lift and lower yourself from a chair ten times as fast as you can. The test requires muscle strength, balance, and heart fitness; being slow could mean underlying disease before symptoms arise.可知，通过sitting to standing一个人的肌肉能被测试。故选D。 58. A
推理判断题。通过本文介绍的三种在家做体检的方法： Balance On One Leg；Touch
Your Toes；Sitting To Standing。我们可以发现它们都是运动身体的部位来进行体检的，都节约钱，故选A。

My Experience in Ghana
I decided to take part in an exchange program in Ghana. The 30 of us participating in the program met up the first morning in Ghana to meet Fred, our guide in Ghana.
We boarded the bus to Senase, a village of 3,000 in Northwest Ghana. Once we got to the village, we were greeted by the queen mother and the other elders. A young girl performed a dance for us with Ghanaian drums, and then the elders each thanked us for coming to the village and helping their children and their schools.
After our meeting ended, we split up into three groups and went to different schools, spending most of the day handing out toothbrushes and school supplies, meeting with the children, and playing games with various classes. It was really interesting to see the schools and to see what all of the different classes were learning.
We got back to our host’s house that night literally seconds before the skies opened up over Senase, and since the power was out, Fred, Cari (my roommate) and I sat out under the roof listening to the pouring rain and talking about our lives. We were able to hear Fred’s story, which was absolutely incredible. I can say it gave me a new sense of respect for the Ghanaian people, their unity in the face of tremendous hardship, and the immense amount of care and love they hold in their hearts, not only for their families but their entire community.
The next day we performed our dance for one of the schools, to the delight (and laughter) of the children, queen mother, and principal. After that we were on the bus heading back.
During the bus ride, new thoughts and questions filled my mind. Where is this fire Senase lit in my heart going to take me, and how can I feed it and build it into real change? How do I bring this back to my community, and then back home to my family and friends? These were only a few of the questions that I was struggling with and continue to struggle with, and I can’t say I have found any answers yet. All I know is that Senase did light a fire within me, and I refuse to ever let it burn out.
59. How did Senase villagers feel about the author’s visit? A. Curious. B. Surprised. C. Grateful. D. Nervous. 60. The purpose of the exchange is to _____. A. give grand performances B. help local schools and children C. have great fun and enjoy sceneries D. better understand Ghanaian customs
61. What impressed the author deeply in Fred’s story? A. Ghanaian hardship. B. Ghanaian families. C. Ghanaian unity. D. Ghanaian community. 62. This passage shows that _____.
A. the experience will have an impact on the author’s future life B. a fire was lit in the author’s mind and he tried hard to put it out
C. Senase villagers are struggling between modern life and traditional customs
D. the author was puzzled by the strange Ghanaian life
【答案】59. C 60. B 61. C 62. A
【解析】本文介绍作者在Ghana的经历。这次经历对作者未来的生活有一个影响。 59. C
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句then the elders each thanked us for coming to the village and helping their children and their schools. Senase的村民对作者的访问是感激的。故选C。 60. B

‘Kangaroo mothering’ helps boost a child’s health and intelligence
“Kangaroo mothering”, the practice of continuous skin-to-skin contact with a newborn baby, results in healthier, more intelligent and successful children, a new study finds.
A 20-year follow-up research found that those brought up in the kangaroo method
scored higher in IQ tests and earned 53% more. They were also found to be less likely to have behavior problems than babies in a control group.
Followers of the method nest their kids in a “kangaroo” position on their chest
as soon as possible after birth. Both mother and baby are supposed to go home as quickly as possible.
The technique is often used in cases of premature birth (早产). In such cases, the trained mother acts as the child’s main source of stimulation (刺激) and food, in the form of breast feeding. Between 1993 and 1996, a group of more than 700 prematurely born babies in Columbia were, on the basis of random selection, placed either away from mother or were raised using the kangaroo method. Two decades later, a follow-up survey funded by the Canadian Government has shown that those who went through the latter method benefited by comparison.
Published in the journal Paediatrics, the research shows that kangaroo mothering offered significant protection against early death, with a 3.5% death rate compared to a 7.7% rate in the control group. IQ test also showed a small but significant advantage of 3.5% compared to other infants.
Lead researcher Dr Nathalie Charpak, of the Kangaroo Foundation in Bogota, said the method has “significant, long-lasting social and behavioral protective effects”. “We firmly believe that this is a powerful, efficient, scientifically based healthcare intervention that can be used in all settings, from those with very restricted to unrestricted access to healthcare.”
The study also found that, compared with babies in the control group, those raised in the kangaroo method went on to develop bigger brains, with significantly larger volumes of gray matter. 63. According to the passage, what is “kangaroo mothering”? A. Mothers trying their best to improve their babies’ IQs. B. Mothers raising their babies in bags like kangaroos.
C. Mothers staying in touch with their babies early and constantly. D. Mothers breastfeeding their babies instead of using milk powder. 64. The underlined word “infants” in Paragraph 5 probably means ____. A. children B. kangaroos C. parents D. researchers
65. What is Dr Nathalie Charpak’s attitude toward Kangaroo mothering? A. Sceptical. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive. 66. This passage shows that Kangaroo mothering can ____. A. give children bigger heads B. benefit children’s brain growth C. reduce the number of premature births D. solve school children’s behavioral problems 【答案】63. C 64. A 65. D 66. B
【解析】研究表明，‘Kangaroo mothering’ 有助于提高孩子的健康和智力。 63. C
细节理解题。根据第一段“Kangaroo mothering”, the practice of continuous skin-to-skin contact with a
newborn baby, results in healthier, more intelligent and successful children可知kangaroo mothering就是母亲们经常和婴儿保持联系。故选C。
64. A
词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段中 the research shows that kangaroo mothering offered significant protection against early death, with a 3.5% death rate compared to a 7.7% rate in the control group.可知此处叙述的是关于新生儿的死亡率。所以本段最后一句IQ test also showed a small but significant advantage of 3.5% compared to other infants.IQ测试也表明与其他的孩子相比有3.5%的优势。故选A。 65. D
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中We firmly believe that this is a powerful, efficient, scientifically based healthcare intervention that can be used in all settings, from those with very restricted to unrestricted access to healthcare.”可知Dr Nathalie Charpak对Kangaroo mothering持支持的态度。故选D。 66. B
推理判断题。根据最后一段The study also found that, compared with babies in the control group, those raised in the kangaroo method went on to develop bigger brains, with significantly larger volumes of gray matter.可知Kangaroo mothering有利于孩子的大脑发育。故选B。

Importance of College Education
During the high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is that, more than ever, college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those who have not received a college education.
For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.
Why should you go to college? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.
There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. When students experience a post secondary education, they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields.
This encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.
The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during the study. The more connections which are collected during your college career, the more options you will have when you begin your job search. Once you have ended your job search and have started your career, however, the importance of a college education has not been exhausted. Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.
So, why should you go to college? The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect. A good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints, and though the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education. 67. Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study? A. To obtain high-paying jobs. B. To earn money at an early age. C. To spend less money on tuition. D. To adapt to the knowledge-based society.
68. The author most likely agrees with the idea that ____. A. too much time is spent on lectures in college study. B. high school education is a gateway to more opportunity. C. college graduates gain more chances over others in job market. D. a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies.
69. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage? A. Affording college education. B. Changing college education. C. Receiving college education. D. Refusing college education.
70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.

根据上句：大多数人都有很多自由时间却很少用它赚钱。也就是说：他们宁愿和朋友
聊天，也不愿发挥他们的才能。故选G。
72. A
上文举了一些受欢迎的业余爱好；再根据空格下句：一旦开始，你就很少想到放弃它。可知这些爱好都
能给你带来很大的好处。故选A。
73. E
根据下文的In these games you will get the opportunity to meet others on a regular basis and develop great relationship.在这些游戏里，你将有机会定期与其他人见面并发展好的关系。可知上句与之相匹配的应该是E. This will be more so if you take up games like golf, basketball or tennis. 如果你参加诸如高尔夫、篮球或网球之类的运动，情况会更好。故选E。 74. D

做七选五时，“尤其代词不可放”是说：在填空处的前后语境中出现的一些代词不可忽视。有这样一道题：”They can be rich resources to improve your knowledge.”我接着就问学生“该选项中凭空多出一个代词they，这说明什么问题？”学生回答：“代词是起替代作用的，一定是前文出现的事物被they替代了，找到被替代的名词就可以了。”结果往文中一找，前面的语境是“Volunteering brings together all kinds of people.”。这下同学们就明白了，原来they替代的就是前文的all kinds of people短语。这样的现象在七选五中是很多见了，能帮助大家解决不少难题。比如本题第4小题，根据下句They can help you keep good health and remain fit.它们可以帮助你保持健康。可知与之相配的是D. Physical hobbies like sports and gardening can be very rewarding.（体育和园艺等体育爱好是非常有益的。）此处下文的they就是指hobbies like sports and gardening
