Do you like to keep fit? We're always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And
fitness trackers (追踪器) and apps can add to this addiction (癒), especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable(脆弱的).Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health complications. Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone's physical health as well. Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much? Researchers found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.
If you're more of a couch potato than a quick runner, this might sound like good news.
But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can't help but push their bodies to the limit the advice from Martin Turner. a sports and exercise psychologist(心理学家), is, “ It's all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control
everything, saying, “You don't need to be perfect.”
4、What contributes most to people's addiction to over-exercise according to paragraph 2? A. Their urge for social support. B. Their pursuit of perfectionism. C. Their addiction to fitness apps. D. Their concern over health issues.
5、What does the underlined phrase “take its toll on” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Have a bad effect on. B. Go hand in hand with. C. Make little difference to. D. Play an important role in. 6、What is the text mainly about? A. The risk of fitness obsession. B. The importance of mental health C. The benefits of moderate jogging. D. The symptoms of over-exercising.
7、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Science.
B. Opinion.
C. Culture.
D. Lifestyle
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a churchgoer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that
upsets some of their patrons(资助人）. So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out \"photo free\" hours during the exhibition's six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that
people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young's head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be \"a photo-taking playland\". Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming irrelevant.” 8、What was the woman eager to do according to paragraph 1? A. To get her phone. C. To take a photo.
B. To escape the crowd D. To push ahead.
9、How did the de Young respond to the complaints from visitors? A. By setting periods without photo-taking. B. By making the exhibition free of charge. C. By compromising with the government. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
10、The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may _________. A. uncover the truth C. bring more pleasure
B. cause irrelevancy D. play a negative role
11、Which of the following may Linda Butler support? A. Reducing admission prices.
B. Meeting different needs of the visitors. C. Reserving judgement in public. D. Banning social media and photography.
Cuckoos(布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead, the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don't raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, & female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one
of the host's eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents(养父母)，but still continues to receive food from them. The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者）is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the nonbiological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts'. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
12、What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young? A. Attend to eggs. B. Build a new nest. C. Learn feeding skills. D. Rely on other birds.
13、What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Other cuckoos.
B. Baby cuckoos. D. Cuckoo's birth parents.
C. Cuckoo's host parents.
14、What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter? A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest. B. It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother's help. C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest. D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching. 15、Which can be the best title for the text? A. How cuckoos protect their children B. How cuckoos fool other birds C. How cuckoos destroy others' nests D. How cuckoos produce eggs
二、七选五
16、How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance, and taking on an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships. ①_______The following tips help improve your ability to attract others.
• Laugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you're comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. ②_______It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
• Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can't commit to something, it's better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can't make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. ③_______For instance, if you don't like your friend's shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it's ugly.”
•④_______If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you'll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel mentally exhausted.
• Have confidence in your body. You don't have to have the \"perfect body\" to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. ⑤_______ A. Speak in a positive way. B. Make laughing a priority.
C. Remember, there is a time and place for humor.
D. There is difference between being frank and rude, though. E. Focus on these rather than what you're self-conscious about.
F. Actually, developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach. G. But having charming appearance is only skin-deep and far from enough. 三、完形填空（15空）

For the initial ten years of his life, Victor was the prince of the household. As he was an only child, his parents petted him and showered all their love and attention on him. Whatever toys his parents bought, they were always meant for him. Whatever food was in the refrigerator, there was no one to compete with him to polish it off first. Victor could leave his toys or books around the house with complete ease of mind, knowing that there was no one who would get their hands on his belongings and cause any damage.
However, all that was to change overnight when Victor’s parents brought back his new baby sister, Lina, from the hospital. With her rosy cheeks, wide open eyes and angelic smile, Lina caught the hearts of her parents, grandparents and relatives. Everyone focused their attention on the cute bunch of joy. Whenever she cried, her mother or father would rush to her bed. She simply cried because she wanted to be carried. There was little time left for Victor.
Now that Victor’s mother had his baby sister to take care of, she expected Victor himself to do most of the chores he can do. Victor was asked to clean his own room, iron his own school uniform and clean his own shoes. Before Lina’s arrival, he had never lifted a finger to help out with these tasks. The whole family also went out less because it was unhealthy to expose Lina to the bacteria(细菌) being in the outside world too often.
Victor felt neglected by his parents. He felt that they loved Lina more than him. As a result, he tried to attract his parents’ attention by becoming resistant.

缘。）可知，当布谷鸟孵化出来的时候，其他蛋还处于孵化状态。因此可推断，布谷鸟比鸟巢中其他鸟类孵化的要早。故选A。 15、答案：B
