A European gym and fitness provider is offering customers a delicious deal at their new cafe: work out and get a free meal.
At the Run for Your Bun Cafe in London, David Lloyd Clubs is advertising its new activity as the first of its kind in the world. According to its advertisement，potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation，then complete a six-minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine，spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the cafe's menu for free.
The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不動的)office workers away from their desks during the work day. "According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting being inactive and eating lunch at their desks-a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs said in a statement.“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”
She added，"Importantly, the cafe isn't in any way about encouraging people to 'cancel out' calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Run only represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”
Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13，the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(無主見的人)around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, Covent Garden, London from 12 pm to 3 pm until Friday.
25. Where does the uniqueness of the activity lie?·
A. In its excellence of service. B. In its widespread advertising.
C. In its special way of payment. D. In its abundance of food choices.
26. Why did the Run for Your Bun Cafe hold the activity?
A. To introduce healthy eating habits to office workers.
B. To prove the benefits of being physically active.
C. To help improve office workers' productivity.
D. To encourage office workers' activity level.
27. What does the author think of the activity?
A. It may have far-reaching influence. B. It should have attracted more people.
C. It shouldn't have been a temporary one. D. It could have been made more convenient.

But we work with foundations and other groups that support our goal:helping with the healthy growth of families. They help to fund additional Kidsl lealth educational programs and inspire families to make the best choices possible. We welcome you to join us in supporting families.

The artists in Madhubani district of India have been painting trees and leaves，with coats of lively colors describing pictures of Hindu deities(神) the past three years since the painting campaign was started，many trees in that area which normally were the targets for local villagers have survived the axe(斧子).
The tree art，in the style of the world-famous Madhubani painting, has now made the entire area so beautiful that passers-by can't resist taking photos. Madhubani painting，also known as Mithila painting, is a style of Indian painting practised in northeastern region of Bihar which is done with fingers，brushes and even matchsticks using natural colours and is characterised by eye-catching patterns.

"The sight of people cutting trees with axes and saws always gave me a lot of pain. I tried to convince them this wasn't good for environment but they never took it seriously. So I finally thought upon the plan to paint scenes from Hindu classics or pictures of Gods on the tree harks thinking it can work significantly, and yes，it has begun working now,” claims Jha.

World records can be set even if you are over 100 years old.
Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France. He enjoys riding a bicycle, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s. Marchand is now 105 years old.
On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris. They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.
The record for one hour is held by Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, a former Tour de France winner. Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2015. Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.
In 2012, Marchand set a record for riders over 100 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour. So the question many people asked this week was: "Could he break his own record?" Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched. He moved slowly but steadily around the cycling track.
Marchand is relatively small. He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track. That is just over 22.5 kilometers.
After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said.
But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older. “I’m now waiting for a rival (對手),” he said.
21. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers ________.
A. an unbelievable fact
B. bring in the topic of the text
C. any per son can set a world record
D. setting a world record is not so difficult as people think
22. Which word can best describe the feeling of Marchand just after the event?
A. Tired B. Proud C. Regretful D. Depressed
23. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Bradley Wiggins set the cycling record in 2015
B. Robert Marchand is the record holder of cycling over 100 years old
C. The women’s record of cycling record was set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016
D. Though Marchand didn’t perform as well as before, he still set a record of cycling this year.
24. Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the message of the text?
A. Experience is the best teacher.
B. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D. Old people may still cherish high aspirations.

When photographs look like paintings
The line between painting and photography has blurred (模糊) in conceptual artist (概念藝術家) Fu Wenjun’s works.

Fu’s ongoing exhibition aims to provide more insights into his art world.
Time: 9 am - 5 pm, through March 19 (closed on Mondays)

The unique coloration (自然花紋) of the giant panda that is loved by many people has long been a mystery to scientists. But now a joint research team believes they have solved the mystery, once and for all.
The black and white patches on the giant panda mainly have two functions – camouflage (僞裝) and communication, the joint research team from University of California, Davis, and California State University, Long Beach explains.
The giant panda’s white face, the back of ear, the back of tongue, belly, and rump (臀部) are adapted for crypsis (隱蔽) against a snowy background, whereas its black shoulders and legs are adapted for crypsis in shade, according to the study that the joint research team published in the journal of Behavioral Ecology on Feb. 28.
However, dark markings on the head are not used in crypsis, but in communication: dark ears may be involved with signaling intention about aggressive behavior while dark eye marks may serve in individual recognition, according to the study.
There is no strong evidence for their fur color being involved in temperature regulation, disrupting the animal’s outline or in reducing eye glare, the study explains.
“Understanding why the giant panda has such striking coloration has been a long-standing (存在已久的) problem in biology that has been difficult to tackle because actually no other mammal has this appearance, making analogies difficult,” said Dr. Tim Karo, a professor from the University of California and the lead researcher.(236詞)
28. Which of the following body parts of pandas serve as intention of violence?
A. Dark ears. B. White face. C. White belly. D. The dark markings on the head.
29. The underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. analyze B. solve C. discover D. face
30. Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. The white legs are used for disguise in shade.
B. The dark eye marks may act as individual recognition.
C. The fur color of a panda is involved in temperature regulation.
D. The white rump of the panda is used for disguise against a snowy background.
31. Where would you be most likely to find the text?
A. a science fiction B. Children’s literature C. an official document D. a science report

Tips for healthy skin
Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these four tips. 36
◆ Don’t smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. 37 Smoking also damages the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. Besides, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking can contribute to wrinkles.
◆ Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and cause other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin and a healthy state of mind, take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, cut down on your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. 38
◆ Have a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. 39 The association between diet and acne isn’t clear, but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger-looking skin.
◆ 40
One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
A. Get started with these four tips.
B. Protect yourself from the sun
C. Try to stay indoors as often as possible.
D. Don’t eat anything that contains fat or oil
E. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
F. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.

2017高考英語預測密卷二
參考答案
第一部分：聽力
1—5 ABAAB 6—10 ACCBB 11—15 CBABC 16—20 ACBAC
第二部分：閱讀理解
第一節：
21. B. 文章的第一段，也就是文章的第一句話，顯而易見是爲了引出本文要討論的話題。故正確答案爲B.
22. C. 根據倒數第二段的信息：After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said. 可知，在騎行結束後，Marchand說他本來可以做得更好。他當時沒有看見到教練們在告訴他還剩餘10分鐘。由此可知，當時他的心情應該是有些遺憾。故正確答案爲C.
23. C. 根據第二段中的信息：Robert Marchand was born in 1911…. Marchand is now 105 years old.可知，該文的寫作時間是在2016年。再根據第四段中的信息：Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year. 可知，女子騎自行車紀錄是由美國的Evelyn Stevens去年(2015)年創造的，而不是2016年。故C項說法與原文內容不符。
24. D. 縱觀全文內容可知，Robert Marchand雖然年齡已經105歲了，但還是不服年老，不斷創造了一個又一個的老年騎自行車紀錄。由此可知，文章給我們傳達的寓意就在於“老驥伏櫪，志在千里”，比喻有志之士，年紀雖老而仍有雄心壯志。故正確答案爲D項。A項意爲“經驗是最好的老師。(有經歷必受益)”;C項意爲“朽木不可雕”;C項意爲“雙鳥在林不如一鳥在手”。
25. D. 細節理解題。根據“When photographs look like paintings”部分中的信息：The line between painting and photography has blurred (模糊) in conceptual artist Fu Wenjun’s works. 可知，Fu Wenjun是一位概念藝術家。故正確答案爲D.
26. B. 細節理解題。根據“Museum celebrates 80-year-old lacquer master”中的信息：… 80-year-old Qiao Shiguang breathes new life into the country’s long-standing tradition of lacquer painting (漆畫). 可知，要欣賞的時間是9 am – 5 pm, through Mar 19，B項在這個時間段內，故正確答案爲B.
27. D. 細節理解題。根據每一部分中的“ticket”中的信息可以看出，除了欣賞A History of the World in 100 Objects 需要門票50元以外，其它的都是免費欣賞的。由此可知，正確答案爲D.
28. A. 細節理解題。根據第四段中的信息：dark ears may be involved with signaling intention about aggressive behavior while dark eye marks may serve in individual recognition, … 可知，正確答案爲A. 注意：題目中的violence與文中的aggressive behavior含義相同。
29. B. 詞義猜測題。根據上下文和語境，該下劃線詞所在的句子大意是：理解爲什麼大熊貓有如此驚人的顏色一直是一個存在已久一直難以解決的生物學問題。因爲實際上沒有其它的哺乳動物是這個樣子，結果是使得比較它們變得困難。由此可知，該詞的含義是“解決”，與solve含義相同，故正確答案爲B.
30. C. 細節理解題。根據第五段中的信息：There is no strong support for their fur color being involved in temperature regulation, …沒有強有力的證據表明它們的皮毛顏色參與調節體溫或減少眩光。因此，C想說法與原文內容不符。
31. D. 文章出處題。縱觀全文內容可知，本文主要介紹了大熊貓的黑白顏色各自的作用，應該是一篇科技報道。故正確答案爲D.
32. C. 細節理解題。根據文中第三段中的信息：…they want to be rich. But you do not be rich, you just be rich of seeing the nature, … 以及全文內容可知，舉辦Swedish Outdoor Show的主要目的就是鼓勵孩子們(也包括成年人)更多地去接近大自然。由此可知，正確答案爲C.
33. B. 詞義猜測題。根據全文內容內容可知，Swedish Outdoor Show很受孩子們的喜愛，所以此處下劃線的部分所在句子表達的的含義應是：孩子們迫不及待地在早春出去參加戶外活動。由此可知，正確答案爲B.
34. A. 寫作意圖題。結合全文內容可知，全文主要給讀者介紹了Swedish Outdoor Show這個活動項目。故正確答案爲A.
35. D. 標題判斷題。縱觀全文內容可知，全文主要介紹了在早春，2017年Swedish Outdoor Show的舉辦吸引了孩子們(和成年人)積極參加。故D項作爲文章的標題最爲合適。
第二節：36—40 AGEEFB
第三部分：英語知識運用
第一節 完形填空
41. B. 根據上一句可知，作者是在清理冰箱，根據生活經驗可知，作者將冰箱的每個抽屜都倒空 (emptied)了。
42. C. 根據生活常識，作者在清理冰箱的過程中，將一些已經辨認不出 (unrecognizable) 好似什麼東西的剩飯菜扔掉了。
43. C. 根據本段的第一句話可知，作者到商店裏採購食物，所以此處應該是購買 (bought)了一些水果和蔬菜，洗淨並儲存在剛剛清理好的冰箱裏。
44. D. 根據後半中句and washed them並結合生活經驗可推知，作者從女兒的牀下面翻出 (dig out)穿髒的衣服拿去洗滌。
45. C. 根據生活常識，一般情況下，孩子們的髒衣服最容易掉到牀 (bed)下面。
46. A. 根據上半句可知，作者從孩子們的文件夾中拿出他們平時考試的試卷，結合生活常識可知，試卷上一般會有老師的批註，所以此處作者是在閱讀老師在試卷上給孩子們的批註 (notes)。
47. B. “like crazy”是固定表達，意爲“瘋狂地”，形容快速地完成很多的事情。
48. C. 結合語境，作者此處是在傾訴，作爲一名母親，很多時候(times)會趕到孤立無援。
49. C. 承接上一句的語境，作爲一名母親，總會有很多時候你感到沒有人在背後支持你，幫助你處理瑣碎的事情。此處“stand behind you”是比喻用法，本意爲“站在某人的身後”，此處指“幫助某人”。
50. D. 根據下一句的語境可知，作者很慶幸自己有很多人在自己的周圍幫助自己，所以她甚至(e ven)都不敢想如果自己是一位單身母親的話，會是一種什麼樣的感受。
51. C. 根據下一段的第一句話可知，作者的丈夫也會常常幫助自己照顧孩子和家庭，所以她不敢想象作爲一位單身(single)母親的話，會是一種什麼樣的感覺。
52. D. “involve sb. in…”是固定搭配，意爲“忙於……”。此處意爲“當我忙於工作的時候……”。
53. A. 根據下一段可知，正是由於周圍親人朋友的幫助，作者的家和孩子的生活(lives)纔沒有受到很大的影響。
54. B. “step up”此處相當於“come up”，表示作者的丈夫總是“走過來”幫助作者照顧孩子和處理家務。
55. C. 根據句意，在作者的丈夫Zeb出差期間，作者的母親過來陪着作者待了幾個星期。while引導時間狀語從句時，表示“在……期間”，後面常接延續性動詞或狀態動詞。
56. D. 根據下一句中的“fills my house with…”可知，Velma不僅比作者將家裏(house)清理得更好，而且讓這個家庭充滿了正能量。
57. C. 根據上下句之間的關係可知，上半句提到的是Velma給這個家庭帶來的外在的變化，而下半句提到的是精神方面的變化，所以使用importantly (更重要的是)，符合語境。
58. D. 根據空格前面的fills my house with positive energy可知，Velma使作者家裏充滿了正能力量，讓作者不再感到沮喪(discourage)。
59. B. 根據生活經驗，上班的那d些父母們都在“奮力地”(struggle)想在工作和家庭之間尋求一種平衡。
60. C. 根據下一句的提示可知，作者在此處是要強調，沒有來自方方面面的支持 (support)，那種平衡是不可能存在的。

I was in my first year of college, making friends and enjoying life, but then my whole world turned upside down. I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing(刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.
After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nana’s house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.
I couldn’t even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here.
The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.
When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn’t wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned(吃驚地) at how quickly heart failure came on—it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.
As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression.
Even though I thought that Christmas 2016 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.
A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they’d found a suitable donor(捐贈人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance of life.
24. What happened when the author was having his second heart attack?
A. He felt less pain than he had during the previous one.
B. He realized what it was and shouted for help in time.
C. He narrowly escaped death thanks to his grandfather.
D. He decided to have an operation to repair the two holes in his heart.
25. When the author learned that he needed a heart transplant, he ______.
A. couldn’t help crying every day
B. chose to continue to fight for his life
C. felt so depressed that he tried to kill himself
D. was anxious about his heart failure
26. After Christmas 2016, the author ______.
A. was convinced that the past Christmas had been his last
B. felt blessed and grateful for his second chance of life
C. received a heart transplant but the operation didn’t go well
D. felt hopeless all the time and was diagnosed with depression
27. Which one would be the best title for the text?
A. Choices Matter More Than Anything Else. B. Rebuilding My College Life
C. Struggling to Have a New Life. D. The Most Special Christmas
C
In the dry Namib Desert on the west coast of Africa, one type of beetle has found a special way of surviving. When the morning arrives, the Namib Beetle collects water drops on its bumpy(起伏不平的) back, then lets the water roll down into its mouth, allowing it to drink in an area without flowing water.
Shreerang Chhatre wants to use what nature has developed to help the world’s poor. Chhatre is an engineer at MIT who works on fog harvesting, the equipment that, like the beetle, attracts water drops. This way, poor villagers could collect clean water near their homes, instead of spending hours carrying water from distant wells or rivers.
Access to water is a serious global issue. According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, nearly 900 million people worldwide live without safe drinking water. The burden of finding and transporting water falls heavily on women and children. “As a middle-class person, I think it’s terrible that the poor have to spend hours a day walking just to obtain a basic necessity,” Chhatre says.
A fog-harvesting machine consists of a fence-like mesh panel(狀面板), which attracts drops, connected to containers into which water falls. Chhatre has improved the materials used in these machines. He is continuing his work at MIT Sloan and the Legaturn Center in order to develop a workable business plan for applying fog-harvesting machines.
Interest in fog harvesting dates back to the 1990s, and has increased since new research on the Namib Beetle became famous in 2001. A few technologists saw potential in the concept for people. One Canadian charitable organization, FogQuest, has tested projects in Chile and Guatemala.
But fog harvesting remains in its childhood, technologically and commercially, as Chhatre readily recognizes. “It still faces some open problems,” he says. “But it’s a work in progress.” After all, the water that fills our rivers and lakes comes from air.
28. Which of the following is TRUE of Shreerang Chhatre?
A. He is an African engineer.
B. He is researching on the Namib Beetle.
C. He has made the first fog-harvesting machines to use.
D. He is trying to put fog-harvesting machines to use.
29. Why is Namib Beetle mentioned in the passage?
A. To describe the severe conditions in Namib Desert.
B. To introduce the diversity of species in Namib Desert.
C. To inform how animal nature can be used to benefit people.
D. To raise the awareness of accessing clean drinking water in poor areas.
30. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. UNICEF B. the beetle
C. fog harvesting D. a Canadian charitable organization
31. The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to ________.
A. stress the importance of saving water
B. show the Namib Beetle’s special way of surviving
C. introduce a new machine for collecting water from air
D. inform people of the serious water problem in Africa
D
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁榮). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.
32. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.
33. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means_____.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
34. What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail”?
A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
35. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36 So challenge the following limits:
1. Figure out what you are scared of and do it continuously.
If you are a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you will fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37 But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”
2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. 38 Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
39 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
4. 40
Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
A. You should do it continuously.
B. You don’t need to go to the gym.
C. Someone may make you disturbed.
D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.
F. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect you 61 heart disease and other health problems. Running also may help you live 62 (long).
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one fourth of the adults reported running 63 (regular). The study found these runners were considerably less likely than nonrunners 64 (die) of any form of disease, including heart disease.
D.C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed, 65 (distant) and how often one runs made little difference in 66 (reduce) the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr. Lee says slower runners, and those who only ran once 67 twice a week, were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further.
The researchers note that their study 68 (base) on the participants’ answering questions over the years. The study lacked complete information on 69 these men and women ate and other facts about their lifestyles.
Researchers say this missing information could have affected the results. Still, they hope their findings will motivate healthy adults to start running down the road to 70 longer life.

Dear David,
I’m very glad to receive your e-mail inquiring about my suggestions on your visit to a Chinese family next weekend.
Every culture has its rules on how to act properly on different occasions and China is no exception. When you greet the host, just nod your head, or bow slightly. Handshakes are also common, especially the first time people meet.
It’s important to be aware of some table manners too. For example, it is impropriate for you to take the first bite unless invited by the host. Besides, Chinese hosts like to put food onto the plates of their guests, which is by all means a sign of genuine friendship and politeness.
By the way, it will be great to bring with you a small gift, such as wine or flowers as a sign of your gratitude. I’m sure you will have a great time!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Ms Roswell,
Thank you for choosing Hollywood Tours. We received your online registration (登記) on April 19th and your payment on May 3rd.
Attached, please find a tour schedule, including hotel information. Again, you will be staying in the Hollywood Grand Hotel, which is one of the top hotels in the Greater Los Angeles area. You are certain to enjoy a very pleasant stay there. In September of last year, it was voted “Best Hotel in California” by Pacific Vacations Magazine.
Also, please remember that the tour schedule is already fixed, so please try to arrive at the hotel by June 28th to begin your wonderful tour of Hollywood. I so look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Peter Wilde

Dear Mr Wilde,
Thank you for your recent e-mail. However, I have a couple of issues. First, I don’t think I can arrive by June 28th, because of some sudden business coming up. I don’t think I’ll be able to arrive until July 1st or July 2nd.
Also, I did get a chance to read about the Hollywood Grand Hotel in Pacific Vacations Magazine, and it indeed gave the hotel excellent reviews. It was especially abundant in its praise of that hotel’s rooftop pool, which it said gave a fantastic view of the Hollywood Hills.
However, I actually had my heart set on staying on the LA Palace Hotel instead of the Hollywood Grand, because it’s closer to downtown and I will meet a few clients during my vacation in the LA business district (I’ll be combining business and pleasure).
I’ll have to go to that district several times during my stay and I don’t want to be caught in the terrible LA traffic again. Thus, the LA Palace Hotel much better serves my professional needs, while also allowing me to enjoy my time in the Greater Los Angeles area. I need to remain productive, I’m afraid, even while attempting to balance that against my leisure goals in the area. If I have to pay any additional fees in order to do these things, it’s okay with me.
Sincerely,
Charlene Roswell

With courses on David Beckham and Harry Potter on offer at famous universities，it comes as no surprise that students are now able to learn the art of the perfect selfie (自拍).
The concept of taking selfies gained great soon exploded on the Internet，and people started crazily to take images that had them as the primary item of trend became so popular that it even inspired a song，“Selfie” by The Chainsmokers，which racked up 267 million views on fact，Twitter declared 2014 as “the year of the selfie”.

ary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
How do you keep a library when you’ve got no room for your books? With rising rents and record numbers of young people having to move with their parents, it’s clear that we are a moving generation.
As a student in Leeds I moved three times in four years; in London, it was seven times in three years. Regularly having to load our possessions into laundry bags and boxes takes a lot of our finance and energy, but the effect on our book collections is rarely considered.
Keeping a collection of beloved books in a damp flat with no shelves, which you’ll probably have to move out of in six months’ time, is a challenge. Deciding which books to keep and which to reject becomes increasingly difficult. Do you hold on to the books you know you’ll reread or do you keep the to-be-read pile intact (完好無損的) ?
Donating books to a charity shop or local school may be virtuous, but when you haven’t had time to read them since your last move, it becomes depressing. There’s a copy of Much Ado About Nothing I’ve been moving around with for nearly a decade because it is the only piece of Shakespeare in the marketplace.
“Just buy a Kindle!” you might argue — but for many people, books are more than just books. They offer us an emotional connection to the past, to the person who gave them to us. They are a way to brighten up a dark flat, they are a link to home; they are the hardest thing to move and the most enjoyable thing to unpack.
So what if you are already facing your second move this year and can’t bear the thought of pensioning off more of your beloved books? You start reading more. Read all the books in your current bedroom and work out if they’re worth the trip; give away as many books as you can; leave books with trusted friends to be reclaimed at a later point. Start looking at your books creatively.
has the moving generation appeared? (no more than 15 words)
e moving, why do people often ignore their book collections? (no more than 10 words)
makes the author keeps a copy of Much Ado About Nothing? (no more than 10 words)
does the underlined phrase pensioning off in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 3 words)
V. Translation (略)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.

use there are many possessions to deal with.
fact that it is rare on the market.
ing rid of
【解析】
use the rents are high and young people have to move with their parents. 根據第一段With rising rents and record numbers of young people having to move with their parents, it’s clear that we are a moving generation可知，由於租金的高漲以及隨父母搬家的年輕孩子數量的增加，很明顯我們成了流動的一代人。股答案爲Because the rents are high and young people have to move with their parents.
use there are many possessions to deal with. 根據第二段Regularly having to load our possessions into laundry bags and boxes takes a lot of our finance and energy, but the effect on our book collections is rarely considered可知每次搬家時裝東西、卸東西都要花費大量的精力和金錢，花在藏書上的精力自然就少得多。故答案爲Because there are many possessions to deal with.
fact that it is rare on the market. 根據第五段There’s a copy of Much Ado About Nothing I’ve been moving around with for nearly a decade because it is the only piece of Shakespeare in the marketplace可知儘管四處搬家，作者仍然將Much Ado About Nothing的複製版保留了將近十年，因爲它是市場上莎士比亞唯一的作品。故答案爲The fact that it is rare on the market.
ing rid of 根據倒數第二段They offer us an emotional ···to unpack可知無論是情感還是精神方面，書籍對於人們的影響巨大。再分析So what if you are···被beloved book?可知當面臨今年第二次搬家，既然前文講到書籍很重要，那麼可以推測這裏是想表達“不忍心放棄更多熱愛的書籍，那該怎麼辦”的意思。故答案爲Getting rid of。
【答案】
Dear William，
Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about study. I have a good kind to offer you some advice on how to study effectively.
First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. One way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind. In this way we can memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.
Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study. Keep trying, and we will make it.
I hope all these can benefit you.
Yours,
Li Hua
