In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.

The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.

One more thought is about the "Alms Box" placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, and that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.

Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.

（    ）16. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________.

A. December 25th B. December 26th C. December 27th D. December 28th

（    ）17. How many thoughts of the origin of Boxing Day are mentioned in the passage?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

（    ）18. What does the underlined phrase "sealed up" mean?

A. 归还 B. 悬挂 C. 密封 D. 传递

（    ）19. The following activities can keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive EXCEPT ________.

A. offering gifts to the poor B. supporting families in need

C. spending time with family and shopping D. giving money to aid Food Banks

（    ）20. Why did the writer write the passage?

A. To tell what a priest did in the Middle Ages.

B. To compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day.

C. To call on people to spend more time with their family.

D. To introduce the origins of Boxing Day.

Memory loss (遗忘) is very common as people get old. A 10-year-long study of the elders in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is connected to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene (高危基因) for Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默氏症). Researchers followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for 10 years. About 50 percent of the participants were women.

At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants' memory with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the most common gene connected with Alzheimer's. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risky gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.

The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the group with good habits and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. In a word, the participants with healthier lifestyles, even when they were risky gene carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.

The researchers said that they studied the relevance (相关性) between lifestyle factors and their effects for an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect the elders against memory loss. The results about the risky gene carriers are still positive because healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, even though there is genetic risk.

（    ）21. How many women participants participated in the study?

A. About 13,000. B. About 15,500. C. About 14,300. D. About 13,500.

（    ）22. What does the underlined word "follow-ups" in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?

A. 参与者 B. 坚持不懈 C. 后续年份 D. 追踪复查

（    ）23: According to the study, the following are all lifestyles connected to slower memory loss EXCEPT ________.

A. Regular physical exercise B Active cognitive activity

C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact

（    ）24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. People are more likely to have memory loss if they carry a risky gene for Alzheimer's.

B. According to the AVLT, the memory of the participants in the test got worse.

C. About 25 percent of the participants were carriers of the risky gene.

D. The researchers had studied the relevance between lifestyle and their effects for more than 10 years.

（    ）25. What is the text mainly about?

A. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.

B. The importance of living a healthy life.

C. Memory loss is common as people get old.

D. An amazing study.

第二节  阅读填空（共5小题，每小题2分）

Living away from your country can be a really unforgettable experience. But at the same time, it has very important effects on your life.    26   

The major effect, and also a very common one, is that once you start a regular life away from home, you miss everything.

   27    Little things like sitting on a Sunday morning watching TV alone instead of having a nice chat with your mom make you realize how valuable your family really is.

   28    Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours, you have to be able to develop yourself in conditions which you are not familiar with. This means making new friends, accepting different opinions, and catching every opportunity you have to go to new places.

The most significant (显著的) effect of living away from home is the independence that grows inside you.    29    There is no one else to go to school, clean your room, and wash your clothes. Being independent will help you get over many difficulties.

   30    You have to remember that all changes are difficult, but it is necessary to go through them to build your character and it helps you appreciate (感激) everything you have.
