阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When Kurt Benirschke, a researcher at the University of California San Diego, started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in 1972, he didn't have a firm plan on what to do with them. A few years later, he moved his collection to San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo.
Benirschke passed away in 2018, but his efforts are very much alive. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world's largest animal cryobank (冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species. It has reached some milestones in the field of genetics (遗传学), starting with the cloning of the first animal — a sheep named Dolly — in 1996.
Although cloning isn't perfect — an Indian ox they cloned only survived for 48 hours, it's a useful tool to help save endangered species, because it can increase genetic diversity. When the population of a species declines, the remaining animals are forced to reproduce within a closely related group, and thus the genetic pool becomes smaller, which further threatens survival. In a species of animals, the genetic diversity is what gives it flexibility, the ability to bounce back from big natural disasters, virus attacks or disease attacks. That's because if there are more different types of genetics in a species, there is a higher chance that some will survive.
With the current alarming rate of biodiversity loss, all researchers agree that a tighter cooperation between all cryobanks is a necessity. The task is enormous, because there are a million species at risk. "We need 50 different genetic samples from each, so that means 50 million samples; for each of those, we need five bottles for each sample, so that's hundreds of millions of samples that need to be stored," Ryder says.
"If we had a conversation with the future, they would say, please save as much biodiversity as you can, now. Period," he adds. "And they would say, do that by all means available."
24．Which of the following did Benirschke's efforts include
A．Collecting endangered animals.
B．Rebuilding San Diego Zoo.
C．Building an animal cryobank.
D．Cloning the first animal Dolly.
25．How does cloning help with animal survival
A．By increasing genetic diversity.
B．By boosting animal reproduction.
C．By developing genetic technology.
D．By fighting against virus attacks.
26．What's the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To confirm the importance of the animal cryobanks.
B．To explain the supersize of researchers' future work.
C．To reveal the serious impacts of biodiversity loss.
D．To raise an assumption to save endangered animals.
27．Which is the best title for the text
A．What the Tech of Cloning Can Do for Genetics
B．How Benirschke Dealt with Biodiversity Loss
C．What a Conversation with the Future Suggests
D．How Frozen Zoos Could Save Dying Species

25．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Although cloning isn't perfect — an Indian ox they cloned only survived for 48 hours, it's a useful tool to help save endangered species, because it can increase genetic diversity."尽管克隆并不完美——他们克隆的一头印度牛只存活了48小时，但它是帮助拯救濒危物种的有用工具，因为它可以增加基因多样性。可知，克隆通过增加基因多样性帮助动物生存，故选A。
26．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"The task is enormous, because there are a million species at risk. ‘We need 50 different genetic samples from each, so that means 50 million samples; for each of those, we need five bottles for each sample, so that's hundreds of millions of samples that need to be stored,' Ryder says"这项任务是艰巨的，因为有一百万种物种处于危险之中。"我们需要从每个人身上获得50个不同的基因样本，这意味着5000万个样本；对于每一个样本，我们需要5瓶，所以需要储存数亿个样本，"Ryder说。可知，第四段的目的是为了解释研究人员未来工作的超大规模。故选B。
27．考查标题归纳。根据第二段中的"It has reached some milestones in the field of genetics, starting with the cloning of the first animal — a sheep named Dolly — in 1996."它已经在遗传学领域取得了一些里程碑式的成就，从1996年克隆出第一只动物——一只名叫多利的绵羊开始；第三段中的"Although cloning isn't perfect — an Indian ox they cloned only survived for 48 hours, it's a useful tool to help save endangered species, because it can increase genetic diversity.(尽管克隆并不完美——他们克隆的一头印度牛只存活了48小时，但它是帮助拯救濒危物种的有用工具，因为它可以增加基因多样性；以及倒数第二段中的"With the current alarming rate of biodiversity loss, all researchers agree that a tighter cooperation between all cryobanks is a necessity."鉴于目前生物多样性丧失的速度令人担忧，所有研究人员都认为，所有冷冻银行之间加强合作是必要的。可知，冷冻基因这种技术对保护基因多样性的重要性，"冰冻动物园如何拯救濒临灭绝的物种"适合作本文标题，故选D。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss (深渊) beyond Earth's atmosphere. When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe.
Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it's an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes. In fact, the spacesuit which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes hours to put on and requires help from one's colleagues.
The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA's next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the exploration extravehicular mobility unit, also known as xEMU, according to NASA.
Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts' health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions.
"When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn't bend over and pick up a rock," said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit, said Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. "Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual dexterity (灵巧) that astronauts need to do meaningful work." she noted.
The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission. Richard Rhodes's team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer.
28．What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies
A．It provides the most ideal design.
B．It functions as a spacecraft of its own.
C．It can be put on without too much difficulty.
D．It can protect the astronauts from the cold in space.
29．In what aspect does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit
A．Its operating methods. B．Its component parts.
C．Its existing problems. D．Its initial aims.
30．Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage
A．To contrast the Apollo spacesuit with the latest one.
B．To give an example of a successful space mission.
C．To demonstrate the failure of the Apollo missions.
D．To criticize the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts.
31．Which of the following best describes NASA's spacesuit for the next lunar mission
A．High-tech but impractical. B．Portable and mobile.
C．Costly but well-received. D．Flexible and protective.
【答案】28．C
29．B
30．A
31．D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了最新的宇航服设计。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
28．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it's an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes."好莱坞电影已经将这套标志性服装理想化，它的设计让大众相信它是一套可以在几分钟内穿上的服装。可知，穿上好莱坞电影中的宇航服不需要太多困难。故选C。
29．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system "包括用于冷却服装的水箱和二氧化碳去除系统；以及"A two-way radio system is also included "还包括一个双向无线电系统。可推知，第4段主要从组成部分谈论最新的宇航服。故选B。
30．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn't bend over and pick up a rock "当阿波罗号宇航员在月球上行走时，他们不能弯腰捡起石头；以及"Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. "幸运的是，从那时起，宇航服已经取得了长足的进步，并且有了更灵活的手套结构。可推知，文章提到阿波罗宇航员是为了将阿波罗宇航服和最新的宇航服做对比。故选A。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Richard Rhodes's team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer. "Richard Rhodes的团队正在研制一种宇航服，这种宇航服能让宇航员在探索月球崎岖地形时进行更多的运动，同时还能保持足够的强度来保护穿着者。可推知，NASA下一次登月任务的宇航服是灵活且具有保护性的。故选D。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called "herd immunity", which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
32．The first two paragraphs suggest that ____.
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly
33．Herd immunity works well when ____.
A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
34．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles
A．The overuse of vaccine.
B．The lack of medical care.
C．The features of measles itself.
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
35．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce the idea of exemption.
B．To discuss methods to cure measles.
C．To stress the importance of vaccination.
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.
【答案】32．A
33．C
34．D
35．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害，并解释了为什么会发生这样的情况。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇医学类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend."麻疹患者的数量虽然小，但是他们却是一种危险趋势的前沿，故选A。
33．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in."可知只有群体中所有人都参与进来了群体免疫才会有用，故选C。
34．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly."但由于日益增长的反疫苗运动和迅速传播的错误信息，这种疾病正在卷土重来。可知，那些反对注射疫苗的运动和迅速传播的错误信息导致了麻疹疾病的复发，故选D。
35．考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害，以及为什么会有这样的情况，最根本原因还是那些不注射疫苗的人导致的，因此本文的目的是强调疫苗的作用，故选C。
三、任务型阅读
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The summer heat and humidity can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the last resort when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. 　36． 　
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don't touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. 　37． 　 There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. 　38． 　 But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
　39． 　 Runners should treat the first three sessions as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. 　40． 　
A．Work your legs up as you would in a run. B．Getting used to running in the pool takes time. C．A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with. D．Professional instructions are essential for beginners. E．So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity. F．It provides tremendous benefits to healthy individuals, too. G．A flotation belt around your waist will help your running technique.

She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear "
I was 51． when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a 52． between her and me. She saw the 53． on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really 54． your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 55． ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head " She replied, "No, it is 56． on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough 57． and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry 58． when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a 59． one.

五、语法填空
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。
Solar terms, which 　61． 　 (be) also called Jieqi in Chinese, are days marking one of the 24 time buckets or the solar year in traditional Chinese calendar, used to indicate the alternation of seasons and climate changes in ancient China.
As far back as the Spring and Autumn period, there were four solar terms: mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn　62． 　 mid-winter. After continuous improvement, by the Qin and Han dynasties, 24 solar terms have been 　63． 　 (full) established.
The Yellow River Basin in Northern China is believed to be the cradle of the solar terms system. China's 24 solar terms are a knowledge system and 　64． 　 (society) practice formed through observations of the sun's annual motion and cognition of the year's changes in season, climate and phenology. Ancient Chinese divided the sun's movement through the sky 　65． 　 24 segments, with each segment 　66． 　 (equal) one roughly two-week-long "solar term". 　67． 　 (base) on the sun's position in the zodiac, the 24 solar terms were created by farmers in ancient China 　68． 　 (guide) the agricultural affairs and farming activities. They serve as an instruction manual of sorts for farmers, allowing them to know 　69． 　 conditions to expect or what agricultural activities to carry out during certain periods of the year.
Solar terms are often called "the 　70． 　 (five) great invention" of China after paper making, printing, gunpowder and the compass.

【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及时态，主谓一致，连词，副词，形容词，介词，非谓语动词，宾语从句，数词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
61．句意：二十四节气，在中国也被称为节气，是中国传统日历中的二十四个时间段或太阳年中的一天，用来表示中国古代季节的交替和气候的变化。此处和called构成which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语，在描述一般性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，从句的先行词是Solar terms，在从句中作主语，be动词应用复数形式。故填are。
62．句意：早在春秋时期，就有四个节气：仲春、仲夏、仲秋和仲冬。此处连接前后并列的成分，应用并列连词and。故填and。
63．句意：经过不断完善，到秦汉时期，二十四节气已完全确立。此处修饰动词established，应用副词，作状语，故填fully。
64．句意：中国二十四节气是通过对太阳年运动的观测和对一年中季节、气候、气象变化的认知而形成的知识体系和社会实践。此处修饰practice的定语，故填social。
65．句意：中国古人把太阳在天空中的运行分为二十四段，每段相当于一个大约两周的"节气"。divide… into…固定短语，"把……分为……"。故填into。
66．句意：中国古人把太阳在天空中的运行分为二十四段，每段相当于一个大约两周的"节气"。此处是with的复合结构，空处作宾语补足语，equal"相当于"和each segment逻辑上是主动关系，应用equal的现在分词形式。故填equaling/equalling。
67．句意：根据太阳在黄道带中的位置，中国古代农民创造了二十四节气，以指导农业事务和农业活动。base"以……为基础"和the 24 solar terms逻辑上是被动关系，应用base的过去分词，且空处位于句首，based的首字母需大写。故填Based。

When Kurt Benirschke, a researcher at the University of California San Diego, started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in 1972, he didn't have a firm plan on what to do with them. A few years later, he moved his collection to San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo.
Benirschke passed away in 2018, but his efforts are very much alive. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world's largest animal cryobank (冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species. It has reached some milestones in the field of genetics (遗传学), starting with the cloning of the first animal — a sheep named Dolly — in 1996.
Although cloning isn't perfect — an Indian ox they cloned only survived for 48 hours, it's a useful tool to help save endangered species, because it can increase genetic diversity. When the population of a species declines, the remaining animals are forced to reproduce within a closely related group, and thus the genetic pool becomes smaller, which further threatens survival. In a species of animals, the genetic diversity is what gives it flexibility, the ability to bounce back from big natural disasters, virus attacks or disease attacks. That's because if there are more different types of genetics in a species, there is a higher chance that some will survive.
With the current alarming rate of biodiversity loss, all researchers agree that a tighter cooperation between all cryobanks is a necessity. The task is enormous, because there are a million species at risk. "We need 50 different genetic samples from each, so that means 50 million samples; for each of those, we need five bottles for each sample, so that's hundreds of millions of samples that need to be stored," Ryder says.
"If we had a conversation with the future, they would say, please save as much biodiversity as you can, now. Period," he adds. "And they would say, do that by all means available."
24．Which of the following did Benirschke's efforts include
A．Collecting endangered animals.
B．Rebuilding San Diego Zoo.
C．Building an animal cryobank.
D．Cloning the first animal Dolly.
25．How does cloning help with animal survival
A．By increasing genetic diversity.
B．By boosting animal reproduction.
C．By developing genetic technology.
D．By fighting against virus attacks.
26．What's the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To confirm the importance of the animal cryobanks.
B．To explain the supersize of researchers' future work.
C．To reveal the serious impacts of biodiversity loss.
D．To raise an assumption to save endangered animals.
27．Which is the best title for the text
A．What the Tech of Cloning Can Do for Genetics
B．How Benirschke Dealt with Biodiversity Loss
C．What a Conversation with the Future Suggests
D．How Frozen Zoos Could Save Dying Species
C
Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss (深渊) beyond Earth's atmosphere. When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe.
Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it's an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes. In fact, the spacesuit which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes hours to put on and requires help from one's colleagues.
The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA's next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the exploration extravehicular mobility unit, also known as xEMU, according to NASA.
Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts' health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions.
"When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn't bend over and pick up a rock," said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit, said Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. "Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual dexterity (灵巧) that astronauts need to do meaningful work." she noted.
The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission. Richard Rhodes's team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer.
28．What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies
A．It provides the most ideal design.
B．It functions as a spacecraft of its own.
C．It can be put on without too much difficulty.
D．It can protect the astronauts from the cold in space.
29．In what aspect does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit
A．Its operating methods. B．Its component parts.
C．Its existing problems. D．Its initial aims.
30．Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage
A．To contrast the Apollo spacesuit with the latest one.
B．To give an example of a successful space mission.
C．To demonstrate the failure of the Apollo missions.
D．To criticize the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts.

Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called "herd immunity", which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
32．The first two paragraphs suggest that ____.
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly
33．Herd immunity works well when ____.
A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
34．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles
A．The overuse of vaccine.
B．The lack of medical care.
C．The features of measles itself.
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
35．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce the idea of exemption.
B．To discuss methods to cure measles.
C．To stress the importance of vaccination.
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

The summer heat and humidity can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the last resort when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. 　36． 　
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don't touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. 　37． 　 There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. 　38． 　 But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
　39． 　 Runners should treat the first three sessions as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. 　40． 　
A．Work your legs up as you would in a run. B．Getting used to running in the pool takes time. C．A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with. D．Professional instructions are essential for beginners. E．So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity. F．It provides tremendous benefits to healthy individuals, too. G．A flotation belt around your waist will help your running technique.
