For the past three decades, Richard Sears,71, has been focusing on one thing: Chinese culture.
His interest in Chinese language goes back to 1972, when he was a university student. “I had checked across Canada and the US. And I was on my way to Africa,” he says. “I wanted to see the world. But then I realized only 7 percent of the world speaks English as a mother tongue. So I wanted to know what it was like to speak another language.” Richard bought a one-way ticket to China to learn Chinese. At that time Richard supported himself by teaching English.
Two years later, he returned to the US to finish his study. He became a researcher after graduation and later worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. In 1981 he lost his job. He even had to work on a night job as a guard for several years so that he could study Chinese at night and get some rest during the day. “I didn’t earn much, but at least I had time to read Chinese books,” he says. At 40, he was already pretty fluent in Chinese.
In 1994 Richard suffered a heart attack. “I did not know if I would live another hour,” he says. “When I finally recovered, I had to think about my life, I had to plan as if I was going to die maybe in a year. So I decided to better know about Chinese with more efforts.”
Last September, Richard set up his studio in Nanjing as part of the local government’s plan to promote cultural services. The studio focuses on telling stories of Chinese culture and character origins. They have made more than 60 such videos in both English and Chinese.
“We also want to make videos with a high educational value both for Chinese and foreign learners of Chinese characters. There will be a large number of videos, showing the origins of modern and traditional Chinese characters,” Richard says.
4. When did Richard Sears start to learn Chinese
A. In 1971. B. In 1972. C. In 1981. D. In 1994.
5. How did Richard Sears earn a living while learning Chinese in China

C. It’s mainly loved by Chinese speakers.
D It was built by the local government.

It’s easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and coke online or from neighborhood shops, but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.
Members of China’s Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible (可得到的；可进入的) in the kitchen through a smart app. Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three-month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast (对比) to the past when similar attempts required several hours. “If we had time, we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt. We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps,” he said.
In the past, most foods couldn’t be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space. Conduction equipment often caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen. To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavored pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station. A vacuum (真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual (虚拟的) reality manufacturer (制造商), has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.
8. What do astronauts think of Joyoung’s mobile space kitchen
A. Water-saving. B. Energy-wasting.
C. Time-saving. D. Money-wasting
9. How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft
A. By comparing the past with the present. B. By analyzing results.
C. By providing pictures. D. By answering questions
10. What does the last paragraph want to show
A. There is more tech for the spacecraft.
B. Joyoung needs to further improve its technology
C. Astronauts on board can do as they wish.
D. What astronauts are doing is significant.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. Modern Technology Brings Convenience to Human Beings in Daily Life
B. Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technology
C. The Hot Diet on the Space Station Needs to be Addressed
D. Manufacturers Make Big Money from Inventing Equipment

Sportsmen in the running races of the Olympics are great athletes, but even the slow runners of the running world —joggers in the park —have good health. A study out this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that even 5 to 10 minutes a day of slow running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at all.
The new study focused on a group of more than 55, 000 men and women aged 18 to 100. About a quarter of them were runners. Over 15 years, those who ran just 50 minutes a week or fewer at a slow speed were less likely to die from either cardiovascular(心血管的)disease or other causes, compared with those who didn’t run at all.
The study suggests relatively low efforts are necessary to benefit from jogging, but it can be better to exercise more often. “A little bit is good but a little more is probably better,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish. A 2013 study in Denmark suggested that the secret of maximum longevity is up to 2. 5 hours of running a week.
Although running can make you less likely to have cardiovascular disease, it doesn’t entirely take the risk away from you. “There is no question that the healthier you are and the more exercise you do, the longer you’ll live and the better your quality of life will be,” Dr. Baggish says. “But it doesn’t mean you’ll never get sick.”
“Many long-term runners do not run because they want to live longer,” Dr. Baggish notes. “They run because it makes them feel better every day.”
For these runners, the cost of feeling good can be injuries, so Dr. Baggish supports the value of what he calls “active rest.” His belief, not supported by any recent research, is that it’s a good idea to spend 25% of exercise time over the course of a year running at a slow speed or doing other activities like swimming or biking.
12. What does the new study mainly show us
A. The best way to run. B. The best time to run.
C. The importance of running. D. The popularity of running.
13. What does Dr. Baggish say about cardiovascular disease
A. It can result from running often. B. It’s not completely preventable.
C. It’s not so serious as most people think. D. It can be treated by some kind of exercise.
14. What’s Dr. Baggish’s suggestion for someone doing exercise
A. Staying active all the time. B. Swimming more, run less.
C. Having a big rest after doing sports. D. Taking a little light exercise.
15. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find this text
A. Health. B. Business. C. Society. D. Medicine.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了一个最新的研究结果，即每天慢跑5到10分钟就足以延长寿命。研究表明，相对较低的运动量就能获得慢跑的好处，但更频繁地锻炼可能会更好。此外，作者还提到了“积极休息”的概念，即在一年内花费25%的运动时间以慢跑或进行其他活动如游泳或骑车。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ A study out this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that even 5 to 10 minutes a day of slow running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at all.(本周发表在《美国心脏病学会杂志》上的一项研究发现，与根本不跑步相比，即使每天慢跑5到10分钟，也足以延长几年的寿命。)”可知，该研究讲述了一个最新的研究结果，即每天慢跑5到10分钟就足以延长寿命，故强调了跑步的重要性。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“About a quarter of them were runners, Over 15 years, those who ran just 50 minutes a week or fewer at a slow speed were less likely to die from either cardiovascular(心血管的)disease or other causes, compared with those who didn’t run at all.(大约四分之一的人是跑步者。在15年的时间里，与那些根本不跑步的人相比，那些每周只跑50分钟或更少的慢速跑步的人死于心血管疾病或其他原因的可能性更小。)”以及第三段中“The study suggests relatively low efforts are necessary to benefit from jogging, but it can be better to exercise more often. “A little bit is good but a little more is probably better,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish. (该研究表明，相对而言，慢跑所需要的运动量较小，但更频繁地锻炼可能会更好。Aaron Baggish博士说：“一点点是好的，但多一点可能更好。”)”可知，根据研究发现，每周只跑50分钟或更少的慢速跑步的人死于心血管疾病或其他原因的可能性更小，所以Baggish博士认为慢跑需要的运动量较小，但如果更频繁的锻炼会有更好的效果，由此推断心血管疾病可以通过某种运动来治疗（缓解）。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For these runners, the cost of feeling good can be injuries, so Dr. Baggish supports the value of what he calls “active rest.” (对于这些跑步者来说，感觉良好的代价可能是受伤，所以Baggish博士支持他所谓的“积极休息”的价值。)”以及“ His belief, not supported by any recent research, is that it’s a good idea to spend 25% of exercise time over the course of a year running at a slow speed or doing other activities like swimming or biking.(他认为，在一年中，花25%的锻炼时间以慢速跑步或做其他活动，如游泳或骑自行车，是一个好主意，但这一观点并未得到任何近期研究的支持。)”可知，Baggish博士他所谓的“积极休息”的价值即建议在一年中花25%的锻炼时间以慢速跑步或做其他活动，如游泳或骑自行车，即他建议在一年里要有一些运动时间。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ A study out this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that even 5 to 10 minutes a day of slow running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at all.(本周发表在《美国心脏病学会杂志》上的一项研究发现，与根本不跑步相比，即使每天慢跑5到10分钟，也足以延长几年的寿命。)”以及通读全文，文章介绍了一个最新的研究结果，即每天慢跑5到10分钟就足以延长寿命。故推断文章出现在报纸的健康部分中。故选A。

For the past three decades, Richard Sears,71, has been focusing on one thing: Chinese culture.
His interest in Chinese language goes back to 1972, when he was a university student. “I had checked across Canada and the US. And I was on my way to Africa,” he says. “I wanted to see the world. But then I realized only 7 percent of the world speaks English as a mother tongue. So I wanted to know what it was like to speak another language.” Richard bought a one-way ticket to China to learn Chinese. At that time Richard supported himself by teaching English.
Two years later, he returned to the US to finish his study. He became a researcher after graduation and later worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. In 1981 he lost his job. He even had to work on a night job as a guard for several years so that he could study Chinese at night and get some rest during the day. “I didn’t earn much, but at least I had time to read Chinese books,” he says. At 40, he was already pretty fluent in Chinese.
In 1994 Richard suffered a heart attack. “I did not know if I would live another hour,” he says. “When I finally recovered, I had to think about my life, I had to plan as if I was going to die maybe in a year. So I decided to better know about Chinese with more efforts.”
Last September, Richard set up his studio in Nanjing as part of the local government’s plan to promote cultural services. The studio focuses on telling stories of Chinese culture and character origins. They have made more than 60 such videos in both English and Chinese.
“We also want to make videos with a high educational value both for Chinese and foreign learners of Chinese characters. There will be a large number of videos, showing the origins of modern and traditional Chinese characters,” Richard says.
4. When did Richard Sears start to learn Chinese
A. In 1971. B. In 1972. C. In 1981. D. In 1994.
5. How did Richard Sears earn a living while learning Chinese in China
A. By teaching English. B. By developing software.
C. By his friends’ support. D. By working as a guard.
6. What can we say about Richard Sears’ studio
A. It has posted less than 60 rides in English.
B. Its goal is to promote Chinese culture.
C. It’s mainly loved by Chinese speakers.
D. It was built by the local government.
7. Which of the following best describes Richard Sears
A. Humorous. B. Graceful.
C. Easy-going. D. Determined.
C
It’s easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and coke online or from neighborhood shops, but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.
Members of China’s Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible (可得到的；可进入的) in the kitchen through a smart app. Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three-month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast (对比) to the past when similar attempts required several hours. “If we had time, we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt. We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps,” he said.
In the past, most foods couldn’t be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space. Conduction equipment often caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen. To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavored pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station. A vacuum (真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual (虚拟的) reality manufacturer (制造商), has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.
8. What do astronauts think of Joyoung’s mobile space kitchen
A. Water-saving. B. Energy-wasting.
C. Time-saving. D. Money-wasting
9. How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft
A. By comparing the past with the present. B. By analyzing results.
C. By providing pictures. D. By answering questions
10. What does the last paragraph want to show
A. There is more tech for the spacecraft.
B. Joyoung needs to further improve its technology
C. Astronauts on board can do as they wish.
D. What astronauts are doing is significant.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. Modern Technology Brings Convenience to Human Beings in Daily Life
B. Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technology
C. The Hot Diet on the Space Station Needs to be Addressed
D. Manufacturers Make Big Money from Inventing Equipment

Sportsmen in the running races of the Olympics are great athletes, but even the slow runners of the running world —joggers in the park —have good health. A study out this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that even 5 to 10 minutes a day of slow running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at all.
The new study focused on a group of more than 55, 000 men and women aged 18 to 100. About a quarter of them were runners. Over 15 years, those who ran just 50 minutes a week or fewer at a slow speed were less likely to die from either cardiovascular(心血管的)disease or other causes, compared with those who didn’t run at all.
The study suggests relatively low efforts are necessary to benefit from jogging, but it can be better to exercise more often. “A little bit is good but a little more is probably better,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish. A 2013 study in Denmark suggested that the secret of maximum longevity is up to 2. 5 hours of running a week.
Although running can make you less likely to have cardiovascular disease, it doesn’t entirely take the risk away from you. “There is no question that the healthier you are and the more exercise you do, the longer you’ll live and the better your quality of life will be,” Dr. Baggish says. “But it doesn’t mean you’ll never get sick.”
“Many long-term runners do not run because they want to live longer,” Dr. Baggish notes. “They run because it makes them feel better every day.”
