(2016·山东省济南模拟)If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and nonjoggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as nonjoggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)．Over time, this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said，“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”
The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and longdistance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn't do too much.”
1．The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．hardB．regular
C．practical
D．flexible
2．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________.
A．suggest giving up jogging
B．show risks of doing sports
C．provide supportive evidence
D．introduce the research process3.According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?
A．It may injure the heart and arteries.
B．It can make the body tired out.
C．It will bring much pressure.
D．It consumes too much energy.
4．What can be inferred from the text?
A．No exercise at all is the best choice.
B．More exercise means a healthier life.
C．Marathons runners are least likely to die.
D．Proper exercise contributes to good health.
答案：
解题导语：最新的一项科学研究显示：从事剧烈运动的人与根本不锻炼的人死亡几率是一样的，而适度的锻炼会有益于健康。
1．A 解析：词义猜测题。此处指像马拉松一样的锻炼，所以strenuous应与hard意思相近，表示“艰苦的，费力的”。regular“定时的”；practical“实用的”；flexible“灵活的”。
2．C 解析：写作目的题。作者在第二段中采用了列数字的方法，是为了提供支持的证据，能更有力地说明第一段的研究结论。
3．A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句“The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.”可知，剧烈运动会导致心脏和动脉结构发生变化，从而有损健康。
4．D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，过度锻炼不仅没有必要，而且还可能有害，适当的锻炼会有助于健康。

(2016·济南一中月考)The illegal ivory (象牙) trade has been a major problem in Africa for decades.Poachers (偷猎者) have killed hundreds of thousands of elephants to obtain ivory.Now, affected areas are taking action.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) announced on Wednesday that key African states where poaching takes place have promised to stop the ivory trade to protect elephants.
Over the past few days, top officials and experts from 30 states met at the African Elephant Summit.The conference, organized by the IUCN and the government of Botswana, was held in Gaborone Botswana.
Conservation efforts will include China and Thailand, where much of the ivory is sent.“Now is the time for Africa and Asia to join forces to protect this universally valued species，”said Botswana President Ian Khama.
In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants across Africa were killed for their ivory.The ivory was used to make jewelry and other items.This continued until 1989, when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) voted to ban all the trade in ivory.As a result, demand for ivory fell.Governments cracked down on poachers.Elephant populations slowly began to increase.However, this progress was shortlived.
According to the IUCN, 2011 saw the highest levels of poaching and illegal ivory trading in at least 16 years.Around 25,000 elephants were killed in Africa that year.Data from the IUCN shows even higher levels of illegal trade may have been reached in 2017.“With an estimated 22,000 elephants illegally killed in 2017, we continue to face a critical situation，” said John E．Scanlon, CITES SecretaryGeneral.“Current elephant poaching in Africa remains far too high, and could soon lead to local extinction if the present killing rate continues.”
At the African Elephant Summit, key African states where elephants make their home agreed to develop a “zerotolerance approach” to poaching.The deal calls for maximum sentences for poachers and hunters, and increased cooperation between affected states.Officials are committed to classifying wildlife trafficking (交易) as a serious crime — and to making sure that the people who commit it are punished.All participants at the conference agreed to sign the deal.With these states working together, there may yet be hope for elephants.
1．The purpose of holding the African Elephant Summit is to ________.
A．prevent elephants from being poached
B．make new laws to punish poachers
C．collect money for elephants' protection
D．call for African countries to save elephants
2．Why are China and Thailand mentioned in the text?
A．Elephants need protecting in these two countries.
B．The ivory is illegally sold in these two countries.
C．They know how to protect wildlife like elephants.
D．They prefer jewelry and other items made of ivory.
3．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A．The governments do nothing to protect animals.
B．Elephant poaching in Africa is out of control.
C．A large number of elephants have been killed.
D．Illegal ivory trading is to blame for the elephants' extinction.
4．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Wild Animals Are at Risk
B．New Hope for Elephants
C．Elephants Need Our Help
D．Wildlife Protection in Africa

(2015·山西四校高三联考)The practice of magic includes special words，actions，and objects.Most magic involves a person called a magician，who claims to have supernatural power.
Magic words To work most magic，the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order.These words are called incantations or spells.Some spells form prayers into monsters，spirits，or other supernatural forces.Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly.Other magic words have no meaning，though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.
Magic actions Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic.Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic.For example，a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle water on the ground.The magician's combined words and actions form a ceremony.
Magic objects Magic objects include certain plants，stones，and other things with supposedly supernatural power.Any such object may be called a fetish.But this term often refers to an object，for example，a carving or a dried snake honored by a tribe for its magic power.Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.
Many people carry magic objects called amulets to protect themselves from harm.Many amulets are stones or rings with magic symbols.
The magician In some societies，nearly everyone knows how to work some magic.In other societies，only experts practice magic.Magicians may be called medicine men，medicine women，shamans，sorcerers，or witch doctors.In many societies，magicians must inherit the power.In others，any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.
