The study represents an effrt t develp an evidence-based public health message abut the benefits f physical activity. The ften-repeated 10.000-step-a-day saying grew ut f a decades—ld marketing activity fr a Japanese pedmeter（计步器）, with n science t back it up.
Led by physical activity prfessr Amanda Paluch, an internatinal grup f scientists cnducted an experiment amng adults aged 18 and lder. They gruped the nearly 50,000 participants int fur cmparative grups accrding t average steps per day. The lwest step grup averaged 3,500 steps; the secnd. 5,800; the third. 7,800; and the furth, 10,900 steps per day. Amng the three higher active grups, there was a 40-53% lwer risk f death, cmpared t the lwest step grup.
Mre specifically. fr adults 60 and lder, the risk f early death evened ut at abut 6,000-8,000 steps per day. meaning that mre steps than that prvided n additinal benefit fr lngevity, while fr adults yunger than 60, abut 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“S, what we saw was this cntinuing reductin in risk as the number f steps increases, until it levels f. Interestingly, the study fund n definitive assciatin with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supprts and expands findings frm anther study led by Paluch befre, which fund that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged peple’s risk f early death. “There’s a lt f evidence suggesting that mving even a little mre is beneficial, particularly fr thse wh are ding very little activity.

In ur bdy everything is imprtant t ur health n matter hw small it is. There’s a small fatty thymus(胸腺), an rgan lcated in ur upper chest, just behind the breastbne. This rgan is ften said t be a ‘waste’ in adulthd. Hwever, a review study suggests the thymus is nt nearly as useless as experts nce thught.
In childhd, the thymus is knwn t play a critical rle in develping the immune(免疫的) system. When the thymus is remved at a yung age, patients shw lng-term reductins in T-cells, which are a type f white bld cell that fights against germs(细菌) and disease. Kids withut a thymus als tend t have a damaged immune respnse t vaccines.
By the time a persn hits adlescence, the thymus shrivels up and prduces far fewer T-cells fr the bdy. It can seemingly be remved withut immediate harm, and because it sits in frnt f the heart, it is ften taken ut during heart surgery. Fr sme patients with thymus cancer r autimmune diseases, they need surgery t remve the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a prblem.
Using patient data frm a state healthcare system, researchers in Bstn cmpared the utcmes f patients wh had undergne heart surgery: mre than 6,000 peple (the cntrl grup) wh did nt have their thymus remved and 1,146 peple wh did have their thymus remved. Thse wh underwent a thymus remval were almst twice as likely, as cntrls t die within 5 years, even after accunting fr sex, age and race. Patients wh had their thymus remved were als twice as likely t develp cancer within 5 years f surgery.
Why these assciatins exist is unknwn, but researchers suspect a lack f thymus is smehw messing with the healthy functin f the adult immune system. “Tgether, these findings supprt a rle fr the thymus cntributing t new T-cell prductin in adulthd and t adult health,” the authrs cnclude. Their results, they say, strngly suggest that the thymus plays a functinally imprtant rle in ur cntinued health.
12. Why is the thymus imprtant in childhd?
A. It results in bld.B. It repairs immune functins.
C. It damages immune system.D. It makes T-cells.
13. Which is TRUE accrding t the article?
A. When the thymus is remved at a yung age, it wn’t affect T-cells.
B. The functin f the thymus is prducing bld.
C. Remving the thymus desn’t result in any prblems.
D. The thymus is a crucial rgan in ur bdy.
14. What’s the purpse f paragraph 4?
A. t analyse data.B. T reach a cnclusin.
C. T prvide evidence.D. T illustrate the purpse.
15. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. Studies n the thymus still need imprving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients shuld have the thymus maintained.
D. Remving the thymus stimulates the immune system.

As Samuel Jhnsn says, great wrks are perfrmed nt by strength, but perseverance. In life, there are always ups and dwns, different persns have different attitudes when faced with them.
As a single mther, I’ve never dubted my daughter Allen’s dream t be a dancer n the stage. At an early age, she was crazy abut dancing. Whenever she had a chance, she wuld dance t the music. Her sweet and charming dancing deeply attracted everyne arund her.
Living in a small city, I tk several dd jbs, determined t d everything in my pwer t supprt her. Sn after Allen attended schl, her dancing teacher Mary nticed her talent by chance and vlunteered t give her sme guidance n hw t dance. Allen practiced s hard that befre lng she made great prgress in dancing.
Unfrtunately, ne night a year later, Allen was crssing the street when a careless driver kncked her dwn. She was rushed t the hspital. When I hurried there, the dctr tld me that my daughter wuld prbably nt stand n her wn feet. I frze with shck, feeling as if I had been thrwn int a dark wrld. Weak and dizzy, I was abut t fall t the grund when smene tk hld f me.
It was Mary, wh gt the news and raced here. She cmfrted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Allen needs yu. Yu must stay calm and strng.” I ndded. Having calmed dwn, I entered the ward with Jane.
That night, Allen recvered her cnsciusness (知觉) and pened her eyes. Hlding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything wuld be fine.” Mary cmfrted her gently, “I knw yu are a strng girl, Allen, Dn’t wrry. We’ll be standing by yu.” I was heartbrken t see tears streaming dwn Allen’s cheeks.
After tw mnths, we returned hme frm hspital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Allen eventually accepted the fact that she wuld have t get arund in a wheelchair. Never did she refer t the subject f dancing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, wh was afraid that talking abut her riginal dream wuld upset the tw f us.

When mst kids g t the beach, they’re t fcused n making sandcastles and splashing arund t ntice litter, but several years ag, fr 7-year-ld Cash Daniels, nticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelng passin fr saving the planet.
Cash, wh is nw knwn as the “cnservatin kid”, has always lved nature. He grew up fishing alng the Chattanga River, after all! But nce he learned that 80 percent f all trash frm land and rivers ends up in the cean, he culdn’t brush it aside.
He started with cleanups alng the river, smething that quickly went frm a family affair t a cmmunity effrt with vlunteers and neighbrs. In 2019, Cash, tgether with a Canadian cnservatinist, EllaGalaski-Rssen, started a nnprfit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different cuntries, they managed t create educatinal vides n their Yu Tube channel. “We hpe t be a really big nnprfit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want t infrm kids and adults in the landlcked states f hw their actins are cnnected t the water and the cean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as ne f America’s tp 10 yuth vlunteers f 2021 by the Prudential Spirit f Cmmunity Awards. He als earned the title f Natinal Hnree, where he received a $5,000 grant t g t a nnprfit f his chice, and he became the first persn t win the Yuth Cnservatinist Award tw years in a rw frm the Tennessee Wildlife Federatin.
“I want t travel the wrld, teach thers, and help them feel cnnected t the cean. Because if yu are cnnected t the cean — if yu lve it and what lives in it — yu’ll want t prtect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becmes mre fun with every new discvery.”

A new study invlving nearly 50.000 peple frm fur cntinents ffers new insights int identifying the quantity f daily walking steps that will best imprve adults’ health and lngevity（长寿）, and whether the ideal number f steps differs acrss peple f different ages. The study represents an effrt t develp an evidence-based public health message abut the benefits f physical activity. The ften-repeated 10.000-step-a-day saying grew ut f a decades—ld marketing activity fr a Japanese pedmeter（计步器）, with n science t back it up.
Led by physical activity prfessr Amanda Paluch, an internatinal grup f scientists cnducted an experiment amng adults aged 18 and lder. They gruped the nearly 50,000 participants int fur cmparative grups accrding t average steps per day. The lwest step grup averaged 3,500 steps; the secnd. 5,800; the third. 7,800; and the furth, 10,900 steps per day. Amng the three higher active grups, there was a 40-53% lwer risk f death, cmpared t the lwest step grup.
Mre specifically. fr adults 60 and lder, the risk f early death evened ut at abut 6,000-8,000 steps per day. meaning that mre steps than that prvided n additinal benefit fr lngevity, while fr adults yunger than 60, abut 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“S, what we saw was this cntinuing reductin in risk as the number f steps increases, until it levels f. Interestingly, the study fund n definitive assciatin with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supprts and expands findings frm anther study led by Paluch befre, which fund that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged peple’s risk f early death. “There’s a lt f evidence suggesting that mving even a little mre is beneficial, particularly fr thse wh are ding very little activity. Paluch says.”Mre steps per day are better fr yur health.”
8. Why did the scientists carry ut the new study?
A. T knw abut peple’s health cnditin.
B T explain the pedmeter’s wrking principles.
C. T determine the best physical activity fr peple.

In ur bdy everything is imprtant t ur health n matter hw small it is. There’s a small fatty thymus(胸腺), an rgan lcated in ur upper chest, just behind the breastbne. This rgan is ften said t be a ‘waste’ in adulthd. Hwever, a review study suggests the thymus is nt nearly as useless as experts nce thught.
In childhd, the thymus is knwn t play a critical rle in develping the immune(免疫的) system. When the thymus is remved at a yung age, patients shw lng-term reductins in T-cells, which are a type f white bld cell that fights against germs(细菌) and disease. Kids withut a thymus als tend t have a damaged immune respnse t vaccines.
By the time a persn hits adlescence, the thymus shrivels up and prduces far fewer T-cells fr the bdy. It can seemingly be remved withut immediate harm, and because it sits in frnt f the heart, it is ften taken ut during heart surgery. Fr sme patients with thymus cancer r autimmune diseases, they need surgery t remve the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a prblem.
Using patient data frm a state healthcare system, researchers in Bstn cmpared the utcmes f patients wh had undergne heart surgery: mre than 6,000 peple (the cntrl grup) wh did nt have their thymus remved and 1,146 peple wh did have their thymus remved. Thse wh underwent a thymus remval were almst twice as likely, as cntrls t die within 5 years, even after accunting fr sex, age and race. Patients wh had their thymus remved were als twice as likely t develp cancer within 5 years f surgery.
Why these assciatins exist is unknwn, but researchers suspect a lack f thymus is smehw messing with the healthy functin f the adult immune system. “Tgether, these findings supprt a rle fr the thymus cntributing t new T-cell prductin in adulthd and t adult health,” the authrs cnclude. Their results, they say, strngly suggest that the thymus plays a functinally imprtant rle in ur cntinued health.
12. Why is the thymus imprtant in childhd?
A. It results in bld.B. It repairs immune functins.
C. It damages immune system.D. It makes T-cells.
13. Which is TRUE accrding t the article?
A. When the thymus is remved at a yung age, it wn’t affect T-cells.
B. The functin f the thymus is prducing bld.
C. Remving the thymus desn’t result in any prblems.
D. The thymus is a crucial rgan in ur bdy.
14. What’s the purpse f paragraph 4?
A. t analyse data.B. T reach a cnclusin.
C T prvide evidence.D. T illustrate the purpse.
15. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. Studies n the thymus still need imprving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients shuld have the thymus maintained.
D. Remving the thymus stimulates the immune system.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了胸腺在童年时对免疫系统发育很重要，青春期会萎缩，移除胸腺会影响成年健康，说明其在成年健康中也有重要作用。

细节理解题。根据第二段“When the thymus is remved at a yung age, patients shw lng term reductins in T cells, which are a type f white bld cell that fights against germs and disease(当胸腺在年轻时被切除时，患者的T细胞会长期减少，T细胞是一种对抗细菌和疾病的白细胞）”可知，胸腺在童年时重要是因为它能产生T细胞。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Using patient data frm a state healthcare system, researchers in Bstn cmpared the utcmes f patients wh had undergne heart surgery: mre than 6,000 peple (the cntrl grup) wh did nt have their thymus remved and 1,146 peple wh did have their thymus remved. Thse wh underwent a thymus remval were almst twice as likely as cntrls t die within 5 years, even after accunting fr sex, age and race. Patients wh had their thymus remved were als twice as likely t develp cancer within 5 years f surgery.(波士顿的研究人员利用一个州医疗系统的患者数据，比较了接受心脏手术的患者的结果：6000多名（对照组）未切除胸腺的人和1146名切除了胸腺的人。即使考虑了性别、年龄和种族因素，切除胸腺的人在5年内死亡的可能性几乎是对照组的两倍。切除胸腺的患者在手术后5年内患癌症的可能性也是对照组的两倍)”及文章最后一段““Tgether, these findings supprt a rle fr the thymus cntributing t new T-cell prductin in adulthd and t adult health,” the authrs cnclude. Their results, they say, strngly suggest that the thymus plays a functinally imprtant rle in ur cntinued health(“总之，这些发现支持了胸腺在成年期对新T细胞产生和成人健康的作用，”作者总结道。他们说，他们的结果强烈表明，胸腺在我们持续的健康中起着功能上重要的作用)”可知，胸腺是我们身体的一个重要器官。故选D项。

【20题详解】
由上文“Yur family and friends lve yu and prbably wrry abut yu every day. What if yu are travelling alne fr a lng time withut keeping in tuch with them? (你的家人和朋友爱你，可能每天都在担心你。如果你独自旅行很长一段时间而没有和他们保持联系怎么办？)”可知，这里提出问题：如果你独自旅行很长一段时间而没有和家人朋友保持联系怎么办，空处应该对此进行回答，所以D项“S text them and let them knw what yu’re up t thrughut yur trip.(所以，给他们发短信，让他们知道你在整个旅行中都在做什么)”符合语境，和上文构成一问一答。故选D项。

37. develped
38. widely 39. made
40. including
41. a 42. it
43. was based
44. what 45. decratin
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国结这一古老的民间艺术形式，包括其历史发展、文化寓意、制作方式、现代用途等内容。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：中国结是中国一种古老的民间艺术形式，简单但很吸引人。simple” 和 “attractive” 是两个描述中国结特点的形容词，此处表示转折关系，需要一个连词来连接，“but” 表示 “但是”，符合语境。故填but。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：它的历史可以追溯到周朝（公元前 1046 年 - 公元前 256 年），在唐宋时期得到充分发展，在明清时期广泛流行。根据时间状语 “in the Tang and Sng Dynasties” 可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，“develp”的过去式是 “develped”。故填develped。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：同小题 2。“ppular” 是形容词，需要用副词来修饰，“wide” 的副词形式是 “widely”，表示“广泛地”。故填widely。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由彩色丝线制成的中国结能给主人带来好运。“knt” 与 “make” 之间是被动关系。所以用过去分词短语作后置定语。故填made。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：它常被用来表达美好的祝愿，包括幸福、繁荣和爱。“including” 是介词，意为 “包括”，此处用于列举，符合句子结构和语义。故填including。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们将不同的结与其他精心设计的物品巧妙地结合起来，就形成了一个带有许多美好祝愿的独特吉祥中国结。此处表示“一个”独特的中国结，“unique” 是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词 “a”。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：同样值得注意的是，北京申办 2008 年奥运会的会徽是基于传统的中国结工艺设计的。“that the lg f Beijing's bid t hst the 2008 Olympics...”是真正的主语，为了避免句子头重脚轻，用 “it”作形式主语。故填 it。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：同小题 7。根据语境可知，“the lg”与 “base”之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态 “was/were + 过去分词”，“lg” 是单数，所以用 “was based”。故填was based。
【44题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：如今，人们最喜欢中国结的地方在于它们深刻的寓意。“____ peple like mst abut Chinese knts”是主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指物，所以用 “what”引导。故填what。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：最常见的是，中国结被用作悬挂装饰品，如在家里或车上，或者戴在身上，如戒指、耳环、手链或项链。a后面需要接名词作宾语，“decrate”的名词形式是 “decratin”，意为 “装饰品”。故填 decratin。

After tw mnths, we returned hme frm hspital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Allen eventually accepted the fact that she wuld have t get arund in a wheelchair. Never did she refer t the subject f dancing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, wh was afraid that talking abut her riginal dream wuld upset the tw f us.
