19、ther man who would also _16_. He was a tall, handsome, silver-haired Hawaiian. Occasionally I saw him swimming gracefully and effortlessly at a(n) _17_ pace to the beach wall and _18_ again. One morning when I arrived as usual, he walked past me on his way to the water. Suddenly he stopped and asked

20、 me if Id like to _19_ against him. “Just for fun. Down to the beach wall and back. “ He pointed in that direction. After some thought, I _20_ it. We jumped into the water and started swimming. Teenagers are often very _21_, and I was no different. I started out as fast as I could to build a strong

21、_22_. But in the first 50 yards, we were even. When we reached the beach wall, we were still even. I was already _23_. My legs felt heavy. My shoulders started to burn. As we turned back, my arms and shoulders were numb, and my head was spinning. I wanted very _24_ to quit and _25_ the rest of the w

22、ay. But I struggled and _26_ it, fighting the water. When we finally arrived where we started, I was out of _27_. “Just about even. Youre pretty good,” he said. He walked out of the water and up the beach. I stayed where I was, _28_. Ten minutes later my friend, Sammy Kauua, arrived. I told him what

23、 had happened. Sammy laughed, “Are you _29_? Thats Duke Kahanamoku. He won gold medals at the Olympics! ”Several days later when I saw Kahanamoku on the beach, I talked to him about his swimming _30_. What I really wanted to know was _31_ an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics. “

24、Oh, I trained,” he said. “_32_ not hard, really. I did most of my swimming at the beach. I swam because I liked it. We trained of course, but _33_ we just swam. It was natural.”I was _34_ at that time because there was no secret formula (秘诀) for success as an athlete. Thinking back on it now, though

28、e has inspired many of the most fascinating designs around us, including those in architecture. Today, architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building. ArtScience Museum, SingaporePeople wh

29、ose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science will enjoy Singapores ArtScience Museum. The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront pr

30、omenade and the water that surrounds it. Its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 meters down to a waterfall in the centre of the space. The water is then recycled through the buildings plumbing system. The building so truly captures the beauty of natural forms. The Eastgate Centre, HarareHara

31、res Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry. To use biomimicry is to create structures based on natural forms and processes. Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary. The insects built mounds covered in little holes designed to

32、allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds. In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in holes. During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warm

33、s the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside. The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and heating systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less to run. The Algae House, HamburgThe worlds first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany. The surface of

34、the apartment building is covered in panels that contain algae. In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade. The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building. And thats not all - the algae inside the panels can be harvested and used to produce

35、fuel. The building therefore not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy. Creating building such as these enables us to live in closer harmony with our environment. To meet the needs of today while prote

36、cting the world of tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the simplest organisms can help teach us how to achieve this. Which of the following is not the reason why architects continue to explore nature? A. To imitate the way nature works. B. To make nature part of architecture. C. To make natural or

40、lot of a Disney movie, but Todd, a fox, really does think hes a dog. The animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4-month-old cub (幼崽) and was raised as a pet by owner Emma DSylva. Since then the lovable fox has picked up a number of dog characteristics such as tail wagging(摇尾巴), playing with toys

41、and even walking on a lead. The 11-month-old animal accompanies Emmas pets Sky and Oakley on walks, drawing double attention from other dog-walkers when they see Todd moving quickly through the local park with Sky and Oakley. They thought as a fox, he has too many dog characteristics. He also sleeps

42、 in a kennel (狗窝), plays with the other dogs and even wags his tail during its feeding time. “Ive had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners couldnt look after him anymore. He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last year, but now he has a really strong bond with me. H

43、e will run up to me wagging his tail when I go to feed him.” Emma, 25, from Stanfield, said. “Sometimes he comes into my room, but he prefers being outside. He gets on well with my two dogs, and wants to play with them all the time. If people or dogs come up to him in the park, he will lie down at f

44、irst and freeze but after a few seconds he will sniff(嗅) around the dogs or sit patiently.”Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children and the elderly to interact with a range of animals. Emmas husband, Steve Johnson, added, “Todd went out on his first school visit

45、the other week and the children really enjoyed playing with him.”The author mentions “like the plot of a Disney movie” in Paragraph 1 to _.

CThough diet and exercise are recommended as ways to improve health, new UCR research is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both facto

49、rs when they are experienced early in life. “Any time you go to a doctor with concerns about your weight, almost without fail, the doctor recommends that you exercise and eat less,” said researcher Marcell Cadney. “Thats why its surprising most studies only look at diet or exercise separately. In th

50、is study, we wanted to include both,” he said. The researchers found that early-life exercise led to reduced anxious behaviors and an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed Western-style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred

51、 unhealthy food. To obtain the findings, the researchers divided the young mice into four groupsthose with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those who ate a Western diet. Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning(断奶), and continued with them

52、 for three weeks until they reached adulthood. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without wheels and on a healthy diet, the researchers did a behavioral analysis and measured levels of several different hormones. One of those they measured, leptin, is pro

53、duced by fat cells. It helps control bodyweight by increasing energy consumption and signaling that less food is required. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate. Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a chi

54、ld can change the microbiome(微生物群) for life, even if they later eat healthier. Going forward, the team plans to study whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice. This study offers great opportunities for health interventions in childhood

55、habits. “Our findings may be related to understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with overweight,” said Marcell. What is special about the new UCR research? A. It finds the relation between health and diet. B. It is the first to study the effect of ex

56、ercise. C. It takes both exercise and diet into account. D. It gives equal importance to physical and mental health. What may early-life exercise contribute to? A. Stronger bones. B. A peaceful mind. C. A desire for healthy food. D. The various microbiome for life. What is mainly discussed about the

57、 research in Paragraph 3? A. Its process. B. Its results. C. Its objective. D. Its importance. The underlined word “leptin” in Paragraph 4 refers to a type of _. A. dietB. mouseC. behaviorD. hormoneWhat can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Early-life health habits matter. B. Its never too l

58、ate to make a change. C. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind. D. Dietary habits make a difference to childrens behavior. DTao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were sepa

59、rated in time by nearly 1, 500 years, were polar opposites. And yet they shared an intense respect for nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time. Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

60、 Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dous of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area. F
