Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the
50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race
walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately
第 3 页 共 9 页
twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According
to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon
among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
24. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
25. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
26. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises.
27. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the
first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and
the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s
reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been
lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind
第 4 页 共 9 页
of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
28. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz. B. To protect cultural diversity.
C. To encourage people to study music. D. To recognize the value of jazz.
29. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
30. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white.
C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. Celebrating the Jazz Day

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur
made from nutria (海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are
destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down
there can’t handle this non-native species. It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，
the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Morgan says, “To give people a guilt-free option that
they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that
第 5 页 共 9 页
using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She is trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
32. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A. To promote guilt-free fur. B. To expand the fashion market.
C. To introduce a new brand. D. To celebrate a winter holiday.
33. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously. B. Nutria are an endangered species.
C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals. D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
34. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky.
C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional.
35. Which idiom do you think can best describe the fashion made from nutria?
A. Put the cart before the horse. B. New wine in old bottles.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Something is better than nothing.
E
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people
now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or
bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably
support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and
others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both
the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention
will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their
lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
36. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test. B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills. D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
37. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
第 6 页 共 9 页
38. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
39. Which statement do you think the author would probably agree with?
A. Emotional intelligence is emphasized by all the people.
B. People who are highly emotionally intelligent are honourable persons.
C. The research we do at present cannot reasonably support popular beliefs of emotional intelligence.
D. Emotional intelligence contribute a lot to the qualities like character, motivation, confidence and so on.
40. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives.

How to Learn Kung Fu Yourself
Kung Fu, also known as Gong Fu, is an ancient Chinese martial art. Should you be inspired to learn this
art, yet there isn’t a school nearby, you can’t afford classes, or your schedule simply doesn’t allow it, you can
learn it yourself. As long as you’re committed and ambitious, it can be done. 41

and punching, choose an area of your home to be for your practice sessions. 42 But when you
want to have resistance, that is where a punching bag comes in handy.
Try your best to find instruction. Buy some DVDs, watch some videos online, or look through the websites
of Kung Fu schools. 43
44 Master a few stances (马步), and work on your punch, blocks and kicks. Practice
combinations in the air and on your bag. Once you get really confident, try to find a friend to practice with.
Practice, practice, practice. The only way to truly get in the mind of a Kung Fu artist is to keep practice.
At first, the moves may seem silly. 45 But if you practice every day, meditate, and read literature
to understand the philosophy, it can become a way of life you can’t believe you ever lived without.
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it.
C. You may seem like you’re not getting anywhere.

Book Restorers Touch History
—Keeping ancient manuscripts in tip-top condition requires expertise and passion—
Whenever Song Jing visits a museum, she makes a point of checking out the section on ancient books. In
addition to appreciating the wisdom 66 (hide) in those historical volumes, she focuses on how they
are bound and presented.
Song works in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China which is home
to about 3 million ancient manuscripts, many of which require restoration before they can see 67 light
of day again. Some books have suffered great loss. Take, for example, a 16th-century copy of Yongle Dadian.
Only 3.5 percent of the total publication are known 68 (exist).
The process of repairing ancient books is complex. Day after day, Song and her colleagues are fully
immersed 69 the duty of handling and healing the old books. Thanks to cutting-edge technology,
restorers can create paper 70 (incredible) similar to the original version. However, the old-fashioned
techniques still come in handy sometimes. 71 (fear) the chemicals in commercially produced paste
might harm the books, restorers have to make the glues by themselves. The paste needs to be mixed right
before the repair, 72 it will go bad because of sitting for too long.
The valuable cultural heritage that restorers have preserved 73 (serve) as the best evidence of
Chinese civilization. Recently, the library has sent 74 (it) specialists like Song to deliver speeches in
colleges and on TV. “I’m glad to see such 75 (arrange) and I hope to inspire people to find their passion
in the preservation of our traditional culture,” Song says.
