I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the
basement apartment where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are a bit far from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My
friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance
Around two o'clock, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on
the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door.
I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally, I made it to the door and tried several times to pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coatrack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coatrack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze
(挤) through and make it into the hallway.
I jumped up the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street
was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned the neighborhood!
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply
A .Better safe than sorry. B .It never rains but it pours.
C .A lost chance never returns. D .A friend in need is a friend indeed.
25. What was the author doing when water flooded in
A .Celebrating his birthday. B .Sleeping in the basement.
C .Placing sandbags by the door. D .Playing with electronic devices.
26. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape
A .Making his way to the door. B .Finding a coatrack.
C .Keeping the door from shutting. D .Squeezing through the gap.
27. How did the author feel when standing on the street
A .Sad and shocked. B .Annoyed and anxious.
C .Surprised and disappointed. D .Puzzled and awkward.

Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but
also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the
perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely
change his diet.
His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover
after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth
in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.
Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding
again at age 50.
“I want to be a super oldman in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue
moving forward. I have to work much harder.”
28. What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2
A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34.
B. He seldom exercised when he was young.
C. He had serious health problems in his youth.
D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.
29. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again
A. To make a living B. To help change his diet.
C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness.
30. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body
A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice.
C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout
C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses
D
Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too
little sport.
Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from
Switzerland.
All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed(评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index,
and the average well-being score for all participants was 17.
The researchers divided sports participation into low (0—3.5 hours a week), average (3.6— 10.5 hours), high (10.6— 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours).The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted
in lower well-being scores.
Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional
well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers.
The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce
recommendations on sports practice for teenagers.
32.What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful.
33. What do the researchers find out
A. Low sports participation causes overweight
B. The sports participation is divided into four levels.
C. The highest well-being scores are gotten in the “high” group.
D. The average well-being score of teenagers between 16 and 20 in Switzerland is 17.
34.Where is this text probably taken from
A. A research paper. B.A health magazine.
C. A business report. D.A fitness diary.
35.What is the text mainly about
A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being.
B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers'well-being.
C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers'well-being.
D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers'well-being.

Art has been described in popular culture as something only particularly educated or rich people can enjoy.
However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. 36 Here are some tips that can help.
37 Artists often create works to comment on major historical events, and this can give us a window into their unique perspective( 视角). For example, Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937) is closely related to the bombings during the Spanish Civil War. 38 Besides, powerful organizations and people throughout history often invited artists to create pieces that supported their causes. This affects the intended audience of the art
piece—who was meant to see the art.
Find out the type of the painting. If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what type it belongs to can be helpful. Types are basically categories(类目). 39 In painting,the well-known types include landscape, portraiture,
quiet life and so on.
Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. Art movements were rises in popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art school is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist
might have made certain choices.
40 Learning a bit about artists who created a piece can help cast light on it in a variety of ways. It
can help you understand why they made certain artistic decisions or chose to make the work in the first place.
A .It’s filled with against-war spirit.
B .It is decided by what the painting is about.
C .They are used to divide art into groups or types.
D .Read up on the life and philosophy of the artist.
E .If you can draw well, you can understand the history of art.

Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized I should go back home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said, "Oh honey, thank God you're back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry. I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot." No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. "I'm sorry, mom. Please forgive me." I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself. There is no greater bond than the love from parents, and it is a treasure to be cherished throughout our lives.

None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make traveling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend.
