Discover the Huge Health Benefits of Strength Training
One of the best ways to stay fit and healthy as you age is to do strength and power training exercises. It is known that when you are in your thirties, you will begin to lose muscle mass. This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the “middle-age spread” we all fear. What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses. It means that eventually, simple tasks like getting out of a chair and climbing stairs can become more difficult.
Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier. By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed. As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls.

My family visited the coastal town of St. Pete Beach. Florida. With its pretty sandy beaches, deep blue waters and year-round sunshine, it’s clear to see why St. Pete is a popular tourist destination among travelers from around the world.
Just a few feet from our apartment, we found ourselves walking on white sand towards the bright blue ocean. We were soon greeted by a man offering us the use of one of his luxury beach cabanas (小屋) for the day at a very reasonable price and settled into a full day of relaxation. The peaceful atmosphere was a true escape from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of the city. It was so easy to while away the days from morning until dusk, enjoying the warmth of the sun’s rays and getting lost in a good book, before taking a quick swim in the calm waters to cool off.
Once the sun set, there was a various range of bars and restaurants to choose from just a few steps away. The warm evening atmosphere was peppered with the mouthwatering smell of sizzling freshly-caught fish. The only hardship was trying to decide where to dine each evening with so many tasty options!
After a while, we began to desire a bit more adventure on our trip which, to our delight, we discovered was easy to come by. On one of our outings, we took a boat trip to the undisturbed island of Egmont Key State Park. There we explored the ruins of a military outpost built in 1898 and a 150-year-old working lighthouse. The island is also a protected wildlife reserve. On our return journey, we were excited to discover we were being followed by over a dozen dolphins, who were taking turns to leap out of the water playfully in the wake of our boat.

Climate change is causing more areas to turn into deserts. This issue is affecting the lives of 250 million people as land that used to be good for farming becomes dry and unproductive. Around one-third of the world’s land is impacted, including regions in Africa, southern Europe, Asia and America.
Sand to Green is a Moroccan company that can transform a patch of desert into a sustainable (可持续的) and profitable plantation in five years, according to Wissal Ben Moussa, its co-founder and chief agricultural officer. The solution is using agroforestry (农林业)to create a new kind of agriculture that is sustainable and that can be resilient (有适应力的) in front of climate change.
The system can be set up close to any source of salty water, which Sand to Green cleans using energy from the sun. It then grows different types of fruit trees and plants together in the same area—a method called mixed planting—and waters the plants’ roots directly with the cleaned water, to reduce water loss to the air. The soil is regenerated using what Sand to Green calls “green manure”, a mixture that includes compost, biochar(生物炭)and microorganisms that help the soil “wake up”. Biochar is a form of charcoal that can help dry soil hold on to water.
In a five-hectare trial in southern Morocco that’s been running since 2017, Sand to Green has tried out a variety of plants in search of the best performers. Among the intercropping herbs (草本植物) that have been successfully trialed are rosemary, geranium, vetiver and citronella, which Ben Moussa describes as “very low-maintenance and very high-profit”.
Sand to Green is now working to scale up to a 20-hectare commercial site, also in southern Morocco. It says a site of that size would cost around $475,000 to set up and would start bringing financial returns in about five years.
According to Ben Moussa, with this system they create biodiversity, which means better soil, healthier crops and a bigger yield. The plantation can generate 1.5 times more yield, thus making more money than a farm that grows only one type of crop in the same space.
8．What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1
A. Deforestation. B. Desertification. C. Global warming. D. Urbanization.
9．Why did Sand to Green use agroforestry
A. To preserve the crop’s survival rate. B. To protect water from pollution.
C. To make a new type of soil. D. To help people adapt to climate change.
10．What can we learn about Sand to Green
A. It aims to plant more trees. B. It earns a good reputation.
C. It develops new plants. D. It produces good results.
11．What does the underlined phrase “scale up” mean in paragraph 5
A. Expand. B. Object. C. Refer. D. Prefer.
A sugar replacement called erythritol (赤藓糖醇) has been linked to blood clotting (血液凝固), stroke, heart attack and death, according to a new study.
“The degree of risk was not modest,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen. People with existing risk factors for heart disease will be twice as likely to experience the risk if they have the highest levels of erythritol in their blood. Erythritol appears to be causing blood platelets (血小板) to clot more readily. Clots can break off and travel to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or a stroke.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a carb found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. However, artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritol has become an extremely popular additive to low-carb products.
The discovery of the connection between erythritol and cardiovascular issues was purely accidental. Hazen’s research had a simple goal: find unknown chemicals or compounds in a person’s blood. To do so, the team analyzed 1,157 blood samples. “We found this substance that seemed to play a big role, but we didn’t know it was erythritol, a sweetener until later,” said Hazen. To confirm the findings, the team tested another two batches of blood samples and found that higher levels of erythritol were connected to a greater risk of heart attack, stroke or death within three years.
“This certainly sounds an alarm,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of a hospital inDenver. “Science needs to take a deeper div e into erythritol and in a hurry, because this substance is widely available right now. If it’s harmful, we should know about it.”
Hazen agreed,“I normally don’t get up on a pedestal (崇高地位) and sound the alarm, but this is something that I think we need to be looking at carefully.”
12．About the risk, what does Hazen’s word in paragraph 2 mean
A. It is not worth considering. B. It is removed by erythritol.
C. It should not be underestimated. D. It is just present in people with disease.
13．What do we know about erythritol
A. Its quality is uncertain. B. It has been used widely in food.
C. It is manufactured by artists. D. It mainly exists in fruits.
14．What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs
A. Erythritol is not available to people.
B. Hazen likes warning people about potential dangers.
C. People have realized that erythritol is dangerous.
D. Further research should be done on erythritol.
15．What can be the best title for the text
A. The Accidental Discovery of a New Sweetener
B. The Potential Health Risks of Erythritol Uncovered
C. The Rise of Erythritol as a Popular Sugar Substitute
D. The Surprising Benefits of Erythritol in Diet Products

解析：①考查代词。句意：国际妇女节的确切起源很难确定。It is difficult to do sth.是固定句型，意为“做某事是困难的”，因此空格处是It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。故填It。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，众所周知，在1908年，15,000名妇女在纽约市游行，要求投票权，提高工资和缩短工作时间。句中谓语是marched，空格处用非谓语动词，women和demand之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填demanding。
③考查比较级。句意：然而，众所周知，在1908年，15,000名妇女在纽约市游行，要求投票权，提高工资和缩短工作时间。由前面的better可知，空格处用比较级shorter。故填shorter。
④考查介词。句意：第二年，根据美国社会党的声明，美国在2月28日庆祝了第一个全国妇女节。the following year“第二年”作状语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填In。
⑤考查时态。句意：1910年，德国社会民主党妇女办公室负责人Clara Zetkin提出了设立国际妇女节的想法。由In 1910可知，句子时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填proposed。
⑥考查介词。句意：她建议各国在每年的某一天庆祝国际妇女节，以推动她们的要求。day前要用介词on，故填on。
⑦考查名词。句意：1911年3月19日，奥地利、丹麦、德国和瑞士首次庆祝国际妇女节。the first后要跟名词，celebrate的名词是celebration，意为“庆祝”，由the first可知，空格处用单数，故填celebration。
⑧考查连词。句意：1911年3月19日，奥地利、丹麦、德国和瑞士首次庆祝国际妇女节。Austria, Denmark, Germany和Switzerland之间是并列关系，因此空格处用and表并列，故填and。
⑨考查不定式。句意：1913年，决定将日期改为3月8日，从那以后就一直在这一天庆祝。空格处用不定式作decision的后置定语，故填to change。
⑩考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，国际妇女节就有了一个主题。由Since then可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主题是被创造，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语theme是单数，因此空格处是has been created。故填has been created。

解析：①考查介词。句意：我写信祝贺你被北京大学录取，这所大学在中国享有盛誉。congratulate sb. on sth.是固定短语，意为“因为……祝贺某人”，故将at改为on。
②考查冠词。句意：我写信祝贺你被北京大学录取，这所大学在中国享有盛誉。reputation是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，good是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故在good前加a。
③考查不定式。句意：为了帮助你更好地适应中国的生活，我想给你一些建议如下。根据语境可知，句子表示“为了帮助你更好地适应中国的生活，我想给你一些建议如下”，用不定式to help表目的，故将helping改为help。
④考查名词的复数。句意：为了帮助你更好地适应中国的生活，我想给你一些建议如下。some后要用名词的复数，故将suggestion改为suggestions。
⑤考查副词。句意：为了帮助你更好地适应中国的生活，我想给你一些建议如下。修饰动词recommended要用副词highly，故将high改为highly。

⑧考查代词。句意：其次，你在中国交很多朋友，参加许多社会活动，这样你就能更多地了解中国文化，这是至关重要的。learn about意为“了解”，it是多余的，故去掉it。
⑨考查代词。句意：我等不及想见你了。此处表示“我等不及想见你了”，用you作meet的宾语，故将them改为you。
⑩考查时态和主谓一致。句意：再次祝贺你，希望你在身心上都为中国的大学生活做好了准备！句子描述现在的事情，时态用一般现在时，主语是you，因此后面跟are，故将were改为are。
