For people living alone, owning a dog can decrease their risk of death by 33% and their risk of heart related death by 36%, when compared to single individuals without a pet, according to the study. Chances of a heart attack were also found to be 11% lower. Multi-person household owners also saw benefits, though to a lesser extent. Risk of death among these dog owners fell by 11% and their chances of heart-related death were 15% lower. But their risk of a heart attack was not reduced by owning a dog.
As a single dog owner, an individual is the only person walking and interacting with their pet, which may contribute to greater protection from heart-related disease and death, said the study. “We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity. which could be one explanation to the observe results, ” said Fall, author of the study. The findings also suggest increased social well-being and immune system development as additional reasons why dog ownership offers protection against heart-related disease and death.
Fall believes that while their study provides strong evidence for the health benefits of dogs, their work is not done yet, since it does not answer why dogs achieve these results. There are also other factors that still need to be considered, such as the owner’s personality and general physical health and activity.
While the research was carried out in Sweden. Fall does believe it may also apply to other countries including the US, since people’s attitudes toward dog care are similar. However, some factors that may affect the results are the differences in climate and socioeconomic backgrounds. “We have a colder climate so we have indoor dogs where owners take their dogs out for a walk, In warmer climates, they could keep them in the yard and won’t have to actively take them for a walk. I think it would be hard to take the data from Sweden and apply it to the US since we have a more different population. More studies should be obtained in the United States, ” said Fall.
12. Why does the writer ask a question at the beginning of the passage
A. To express his doubt. B. To get the correct answer.
C. To test readers’ knowledge . D. To introduce the topic.
13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The benefits of raising dogs for single people.
B. The disadvantages of raising animals for their owners.
C. The figures the writer provides to support the research.
D. The importance of owning pets for all kinds of people.
14. What is the finding of the new study
A. Walking and interacting with pets contributes to their owners’ health.
B. Single individuals without a pet have a lower risk of heart-related death.
C. The pet owner’s personality and activity have little to do with his/her health.
D. Keeping dogs can help owners free from cancer and heart-related disease.
15. What can we know from Fall’s words

I think it would be hard to take the data from Sweden and apply it to the US since we have a more different population. More studies should be obtained in the United States, ” said Fall.(然而，一些可能影响结果的因素是气候和社会经济背景的差异。“我们的气候较冷，所以我们有室内狗，主人带他们的狗出去散步。在温暖的气候下，他们可以把它们放在院子里，不需要主动带它们出去散步。我认为很难把瑞典的数据应用到美国，因为我们的人口更不同。应该在美国进行更多的研究。”)”可知，从Fall的话中我们可以知道气候和社会经济背景可能会影响研究。故选D项。

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The more you learn, the better you know how much you still need to learn. It’s important to acquire knowledge throughout life and appreciate how much you do not know. The ability ____36____ (admit) this should not be perceived as a weakness, but as a strength.
In a rapidly changing world, lifelong learning is vital. ____37____ (progress) through life, you may study and work in new environments, thus being exposed to many new ideas, ____38____ (belief), practices and learning experiences. Furthermore, the ____39____ (produce) of knowledge is bound to grow rapidly. You need to refresh your knowledge through lifelong learning and proceed as follows. Firstly, have a good attitude to lifelong learning. Be objective and open to new knowledge and ideas.

You could also visit the local library, ____42____resources are rich and diverse.

____45____summary, in a constantly changing world, one should never cease to learn.
【答案】36. to admit
37. Progressing
38. beliefs
39. production
40. the 41. have become
42. where##whose
43. simply 44. be applied
45. In
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何做到终身学习。
【36题详解】
考查不定式。句意：承认这一点的能力不应该被视为一种弱点，而是一种优势。ability意为“能力”，其后跟不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式to admit。故填to admit。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着生活的进步，你可能会在新的环境中学习和工作，从而接触到许多新的思想、信仰、实践和学习经验。句中谓语是may study and work，空格处用非谓语动词作状语，you和progress之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Progressing。
【38题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：随着生活的进步，你可能会在新的环境中学习和工作，从而接触到许多新的思想、信仰、实践和学习经验。空前有many，空格处用复数beliefs，故填beliefs。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，知识的生产必然会迅速增长。空格处用名词作主语，句子表示“知识的生产必然会迅速增长”，空格处意为“生产”，名词是production，是不可数名词，故填production。
【40题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：培养批判性思维能力，并进一步询问，以评估你所被告知的真相。空格处用定冠词特指“你所被告知的真相”，因此空格处是the，故填the。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：例如，你可以在线注册并订阅电子学习课程。由“in recent years”可知，句子时态用现在完成时，which指代的先行词courses是复数，因此空格处是have become。故填have become。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：你也可以去当地的图书馆，那里的资源丰富多样。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，“resources are rich and diverse”不缺主语或宾语，先行词library是地方，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句；本题还有另一个解法，即resources和library之间是所属关系，因此用表所属的whose引导定语从句，故填where/whose。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：最后，要明白，仅仅知道一些事情或理解你所知道的是不够的，因为具有具体价值的知识必须得到应用、分析、评估和改进，这样你对世界的理解才会成为一个持续的过程。空格处用副词修饰动词know，simple的副词是simply，意为“仅仅”，故填simply。
【44题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：最后，要明白，仅仅知道一些事情或理解你所知道的是不够的，因为具有具体价值的知识必须得到应用、分析、评估和改进，这样你对世界的理解才会成为一个持续的过程。知识是被应用，句子用被动语态，空前有情态动词must，因此空格处是be done，即be applied。故填be applied。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：总之，在一个不断变化的世界里，一个人不应该停止学习。in summary是固定短语，意为“总之”，因此空格处是介词in，位于句首，首字母大写，故填In。

The parents take good care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home the happiest place in the world.
But for me, sometimes I can’t feel the love from my mother and can’t feel the warmth of the home Quarrels happen between us frequently.
“Bang!” The door caused a protest. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Mom. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.
A young mother who held a child in her arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood: happy and harmonious.
But then I didn’t know whether it was because I had grown up or because Mom was getting old. We were just like two people coming from two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.
I wandered in the street, without a destination in my mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. After wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, I felt really hungry and wanted something to eat However. with no money in hand, I could do nothing but weep and sigh. A grandma, who was a snack seller at the roadside noticed me and said, “Little girl, hungry, huh Here is a bowl of noodles for you. Take it and go home quickly. ”With grateful tears hanging in my eyes, I accepted the noodles and kept expressing my gratitude. “Thank you so much! I will appreciate it all my life!” The grandma said sincerely. “You don’t need to thank me. I am just a stranger who gave you a bowl of noodles, but your mother cooks for you all her life without any complaint. Have you ever said ‘Thank you’ to her ” Hearing this. I stood there, numb with shock.

To make me have a delicate meal, she had to put up with the kitchen fume. Thinking of what she had done for me, I made a decision not to quarrel with my mom anymore and hurriedly ran home after saying goodbye to the grandma. As I arrived at the door, the light was still on.
Paragraph 2: I opened the door and instantly tears ran down my cheeks. I saw my exhausted mom waiting for me anxiously, tears wetting her clothes. I couldn’t help embracing her affectionately. “Mom, I feel so sorry and thank you so much for your selfless devotion. Please forgive me for my immaturity. ” Hearing this, my mother smiled, patting me gently. I suddenly realized the iron door I had built between us did not exist anymore, because the love between my mom and me is second to none.

But luckily, one of the store’s security guards, Aina Townsend, spotted the wallet in a shopping cart. So after his work ended, he rode on a bike 3 miles—about an hour uphill — to Marino’s address to return the wallet. “You know, I lost a wallet before too and it’s the worst thing in the world,” Townsend. 22, told CNN. “I was just doing what I felt was the right thing to do.”
Marino and her husband Gray said that they were overwhelmed that Townsend would put in so much effort to help a stranger. “I was shocked at first,” said Chloe. “I didn’t even realize I had lost it. He definitely went out of his way for a complete stranger, which was so amazing.” Gray was so inspired by the kind act that he shared the story to Facebook, calling the good deed an “Aloha in Hawaii as a moment that shows love.” “He literally rode his bicycle to return her wallet,” Gray wrote in a post on his Facebook page on December pletely full of everything important to her important to her including cash. Nothing was so much as moved.
Several people in the community praised Townsend for his selflessness, including Greg Gaudet, one of Gray’s friends. Gaudet then organized a GoFundMe mobilizing the community to raise funds to give Townsend the ultimate Christmas gift: a car. “There were a few times in my life where people did a few things that made a really big impact,” Gaudet told CNN. “He deserves it, you know,” Gaudet said of Townsend. “He’s been working hard for a long time. He’s a good guy. He deserves a break.”

The sportswear giant Nike has announced the construction of an eco-friendly basketball court which uses recycled sport shoes as the raw materials at the national finals of the 2022-23 China High School Basketball League (CHBL) on May 14. The court is set to be completed by the end of July this year in Guangzhou.
Cooperating with the China School Sports Federation, Nike launched the environmental protection charity project for the CHBL 2022-23 Season. The project encourages the involvement of CHBL players coaches, basketball enthusiasts and consumers in the collection and recycling of old sport shoes. Through advanced technology, thrown-away sport shoes will be processed and used in the construction of the first ever CHBL-themed eco-friendly basketball court.
Over the past two months, the old sport shoes collection bins have traveled alongside the CHBL tour making stops at the four major regional tournaments held in the east, west, south and north of China. The bins have gone into schools, including Tsinghua High School in Beijing and Huipu Middle School in Taizhou Zhejiang province, spreading the spirits of CHBL and inspiring its players to become role models not only on the basketball court, but also in their everyday lives.
Famous female basketball player Han Xu has actively contributed to the collection of used shoes and expressed her support for the project through her personal social media channels. Zhang Lei, secretary general of the CSSF, says that CHBL not only assists young players and teenagers in improving their basketball skills but also promotes the development of basketball culture within campuses.
In addition to expanding the league’s size and influence, we have also added environmental education into the program. Environmental education plays an important role in shaping society’s core values. It guides young individuals toward understanding the importance of environmental issues, forming a proper attitude on the relationship between humans and nature, and raising their environmental awareness and practices. It serves as an endless source of developing environmental consciousness throughout society.

Can getting a dog help people live longer Dog ownership is associated with a reduced risk for heart related disease and death, finds a new Swedish study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
For people living alone, owning a dog can decrease their risk of death by 33% and their risk of heart related death by 36%, when compared to single individuals without a pet, according to the study. Chances of a heart attack were also found to be 11% lower. Multi-person household owners also saw benefits, though to a lesser extent. Risk of death among these dog owners fell by 11% and their chances of heart-related death were 15% lower. But their risk of a heart attack was not reduced by owning a dog.
As a single dog owner, an individual is the only person walking and interacting with their pet, which may contribute to greater protection from heart-related disease and death, said the study. “We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity. which could be one explanation to the observe results, ” said Fall, author of the study. The findings also suggest increased social well-being and immune system development as additional reasons why dog ownership offers protection against heart-related disease and death.
Fall believes that while their study provides strong evidence for the health benefits of dogs, their work is not done yet, since it does not answer why dogs achieve these results. There are also other factors that still need to be considered, such as the owner’s personality and general physical health and activity.
While the research was carried out in Sweden. Fall does believe it may also apply to other countries including the US, since people’s attitudes toward dog care are similar. However, some factors that may affect the results are the differences in climate and socioeconomic backgrounds. “We have a colder climate so we have indoor dogs where owners take their dogs out for a walk, In warmer climates, they could keep them in the yard and won’t have to actively take them for a walk. I think it would be hard to take the data from Sweden and apply it to the US since we have a more different population. More studies should be obtained in the United States, ” said Fall.

D. The importance of owning pets for all kinds of people.
14. What is the finding of the new study
A. Walking and interacting with pets contributes to their owners’ health.
B. Single individuals without a pet have a lower risk of heart-related death.
C. The pet owner’s personality and activity have little to do with his/her health.
D. Keeping dogs can help owners free from cancer and heart-related disease.
15. What can we know from Fall’s words
