Risks f diseases such as heart disease, strkes(中风) — which were respnsible fr 17.9 millin deaths in 2019 — and varius cancers are all reduced with this simple shrt walk. This easy lifestyle change was als nted in an earlier study in January, 2023, s yu really shuld give it a g.
By carrying ut studies amng a ttal f ver 30 millin participants, the latest Cambridge research fund that just 75 minutes f exercise a week can reduce the risk f cancer by 7%. It was als enugh t reduce the risk f develping cardivascular(心血管的) disease by 17%.
Prfessr James Wdcck frm the MRC Epidemilgy Unit said, “We knw that physical activity, such as walking r cycling, is gd fr yu, especially if yu feel it raises yur heart rate. But what we’ve fund is that there are many benefits t heart health and reducing yur risk f cancer even if yu can nly manage 10 minutes every day.”
It ges withut saying that ding the recmmended 150 minutes per week is mre beneficial than just 75 minutes. Arund ne in six early deaths wuld be prevented with the tw plus hurs f exercise, while 11% f cases f cardivascular disease and 5% f cases f cancer wuld be avided.

Histrical accunts ften described the nw-extinct Califrnia grizzly bears as huge beasts ready t attack humans and livestck at any time. But accrding t a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic: The bears ate a mstly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previusly described. Califrnia grizzly bears nce ramed in the Glden State. But Eurpean settlers ften hunted, pisned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because f these human activities, the Califrnia grizzly ppulatin declined. The last reliable sighting f a Califrnia grizzly bear ccurred 100 years ag in 1924, and the animals disappeared cmpletely smetime after that.
Researchers wanted t get a better understanding f the factrs that accelerated the bears’ extinctin. They als hped t gain mre insight int the creatures’ behavir, size and diet. T d s, they turned t dcuments and Califrnia grizzly specimens in natural histry cllectins. They measured the animals’ skulls and teeth and analyzed their bnes and pelts. The researchers fund that Califrnia grizzly bears were much smaller than the 2,000 punds ften reprted at the time. Histrical accunts might nt necessarily have been wrng, but they might have nly included the largest bears. In additin, analyses f the animals’ bnes and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in cntrast t their fear sme hyper carnivrus (超级食肉的) reputatin. “The bears likely increased meat cnsumptin due t landscape changes cupled with the arrival f livestck,” says study c-authr Alexis Mychajliw. Hwever, researchers fund the animals still ate a majrity vegetarian diet and killed far less livestck than histrical accunts suggested.
By digging beynd the bears’ reputatin, the researchers gained a mre accurate understanding f the Califrnia grizzly’s bilgy and natural histry. And since scientists and land managers ften rely n histrical accunts when reintrducing animals t their frmer habitats, the study serves as a reminder that thse ld newspapers and jurnals d nt tell the whle stry.
8. What des the underlined wrd “ramed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Disappeared.B. Declined.C. Fught.D. Wandered.
9. What did the researchers discver abut Califrnia grizzly bears?
A. They mainly fed n livestck.
B. Their diet cnsisted mstly f plants.
C. They ate a balanced diet f plants and meat.
D. The absence f livestck changed their dietary habit.
10. What can we learn abut histrical accunts f animals frm the last paragraph?
A. They are unique.B. They are ne-sided.
C. They are accurate.D. They are cmprehensive.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The natural habitats f Califrnia grizzly bears.
B. The extinctin prcess f Califrnia grizzly bears.
C. The reveal f the truth f Califrnia grizzly bears.
D. The significance f the arrival f Califrnia grizzly bears.
【参考答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究揭示了一些关于加州灰熊的真相——主要吃素食,比之前描述的要小,因此对动物的历史纪录有可能是片面的,不完全的。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下句“But Eurpean settlers ften hunted, pisned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because f these human activities, the Califrnia grizzly ppulatin declined.(但欧洲殖民者经常猎杀、毒死和诱捕这些生物。随着时间的推移,由于这些人类活动,加州灰熊的数量下降了)”可知,加州灰熊曾经数量很多,随处游荡。由此猜测ramed意为“游荡”,与wandered同义。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In additin, analyses f the animals’ bnes and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in cntrast t their fear sme hyper carnivrus (超级食肉的) reputatin.(此外,对动物骨骼和皮肤的分析表明,熊主要以植物为食,这与它们可怕的超级食肉动物的名声形成了对比)”可知,研究发现灰熊主要以植物为食。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“By digging beynd the bears’ reputatin, the researchers gained a mre accurate understanding f the Califrnia grizzly’s bilgy and natural histry. And since scientists and land managers ften rely n histrical accunts when reintrducing animals t their frmer habitats, the study serves as a reminder that thse ld newspapers and jurnals d nt tell the whle stry.(通过深入研究灰熊的名声,研究人员对加州灰熊的生物学和自然历史有了更准确的了解。由于科学家和土地管理者在将动物重新引入它们以前的栖息地时经常依赖于历史记录,这项研究提醒人们,那些旧报纸和期刊并没有讲述整个故事)”推知,对动物的历史纪录有可能是片面的,并不完整和准确。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中“Histrical accunts ften described the nw-extinct Califrnia grizzly bears as huge beasts ready t attack humans and livestck at any time. But accrding t a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic: The bears ate a mstly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previusly described.(历史记载经常将现已灭绝的加利福尼亚灰熊描述为随时准备攻击人类和牲畜的巨大野兽。但根据一篇新的论文,科学家们说真相可能没有那么戏剧性:这些熊主要吃素食,比之前描述的要小)”可知,文章主要介绍研究揭示了一些关于加州灰熊的真相——主要吃素食,比之前描述的要小。故选C。
D
In rder t survive trips t Mars, humans need xygen. Nw, a team f scientists has designed a rbt that culd extract xygen frm water n the Red Planet.
The rbt, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning mdel t find a cmpund that culd ignite an xygen-prducing chemical reactin n Mars. The cmpund, knwn as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely frm elements fund in Martian meterites (陨石) — which means, if such a system culd wrk reliably, space travelers wuld nt need t bring xygen r even the catalyst needed t prduce it.
Mars’ atmsphere cntains nly trace amunts f xygen. But scientists have detected evidence f liquid water beneath the planet’s suthern ice cap. T create the breathable gas, researchers wanted t find a way t break dwn this water int its hydrgen and xygen mlecules using materials fund n Mars.
Their rbt analyzed five meterites that either came frm Mars r had a cmpsitin similar t that f the Martian surface. Using a laser, it identified significant amunts f irn, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples. Frm these six elements, the rbt’s algrithm (算法) deter-mined it culd prduce mre than 3.7 millin pssible mlecules t break dwn water and frm xygen n Mars. Accrding t the researchers, finding the best ne frm this extensive list wuld take rughly 2,000 years f human labr, but fr the AI chemist, it tk nly weeks.
“On the Earth, we dn’t use these six elements,” Yi Lu, a c-authr f the study says. “They are nt the best chices fr catalysts, but it’s nly what yu’ve gt n Mars.”
With its chsen catalyst, the system culd prduce xygen frm the Martian materials at arund - 37℃, demnstrating the chemical reactin culd be pssible n the cld Martian surface.
Ntably, the rbt was able t carry ut the entire prcess — analyzing the rck samples, identifying the Jest pssible catalyst and prducing it withut human interventin.
12. What inspired the scientists t design the rbt that culd extract xygen?
A. Surviving n the Earth.B. Trips t Mars.
C. Traveling n the Mn.D. Water shrtage.
13. What is the basis f extracting xygen n Mars?
A. The existence f water and catalyst n Mars.
B. The xygen that Mars’ atmsphere cntains.
C. The scientists’ previus study n meterites.
D. The lw cst f “AI chemist”.
14. What des Paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. The finding f six elements.B. The advantages f the rbts.
C. The prcess f prducing xygen.D. The frmatin f the meterites.
15. What is the writer’s attitude twards “AI chemist”?
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.C. Favrable.D. Indifferent.

A cuple f years ag, I had the pleasure f teaching a yung cuple t dive (潜水) in Thailand n ne f my favrite reefs (礁). The weather cnditins were perfect, with mild currents and excellent sight f the beautiful cean and the bright, vivid crals. Even with their masks n, I culd see the smiles n my students’ faces.
The dive culdn’t have gne better. Hwever, things changed as we made ur way back t the bat. As we swam back alng the reef, I nticed the current (水流) changing. As it did, huge quantities f trash and plastic began t fld the area. I saw small reef fish swimming amngst the straws, plastic bags and ther bits f rubbish. I nticed that sme f the fish were pecking away (啄) at the plastic. By the time we gt back nbard the bat, there were bits f plastic flating all arund us. It lked mre like a trash site than the cean.
When I gt hme, the first thing I did was t g nline and research plastic pllutin in the cean. I was surprised t find ut that ver the past decade, divers and beach lvers have seen a lt f changes in the ceans. Even very remte lcatins were suddenly filled with plastic and ther chemicals. Plastics were entering ur ceans at an alarming rate—up t 12 millin tns each year. This huge amunt f plastic was wreaking havc (破坏) nt nly n the envirnment, but als n the marine animals that lived in the cean, such as sea turtles and sea birds. Sme f them were sadly mistaking the pieces f plastic fr fd. Pllutin has brught ur ceans t the pint f disaster, and unless we make a great change, then ur ceans and all f its living things, will be at risk.
Since that unfrgettable plastic-plluted dive, I have becme an cean supprter and spend my days trying t get the message ut there abut just hw harmful cean pllutin is, nt nly t marine life, but als t mankind.

【参考答案】One pssible versin:
Then the idea came t me: I culd appeal t my fellw divers t take actin. I reached ut t the lcal divers, wh immediately started supprting me.

Hwever, I knew that these individual actins weren’t enugh t stp the cncerning plastic pllutin crisis unless cmpanies stpped prducing s much plastic in the first place.
I decided t take it a step further t try and stp thse cmpanies prducing single-use plastics. One way in particular std ut because it was easy t implement, yet its effects wuld be far reaching.

Since I started this apprach, I have reached ut t a dzen cmpanies in this way and gt mre and mre enthusiastic fllwers.
