Eventually, it happens to everyone. As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart becomes less flexible, more stiff and just isn’t as ___21___ in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in the 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the underlying changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken. That’s what happens to the heart and blood vessels,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a sports cardiologist at the University of Texas. And that sort of stiffness can get worse, he notes, leading to the breathlessness and other symptoms of heart failure, a (n) ___22___ of the heart to effectively pump blood to the lungs or throughout the body.
Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been a (n) ___23___ exerciser, getting in shape now may head off that decline and help ___24___ your aging heart.
The research team recruited individuals between the ages of 45 and 64 who were mostly sedentary (惯于久坐的) but ___25___ healthy.
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group engaged in a program of nonaerobic exercise — basic yoga, balance training and weight training — three times a week. The other group was assigned a trainer and did ___26___-to high-intensity aerobic exercise for four or more days a week.
After two years, the group doing the higher-intensity exercise saw ___27___ improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. Their hearts processed oxygen more efficiently and were ___28___ less stiff. “The hearts of those doing less intense routines didn’t change,” he says.
“The sweet spot in life to get off the couch and start exercising is in late middle age when the heart still has plasticity,” Levine says. You may not be able to ___29___ the aging of the vessels if you wait.
Anyone considering beginning this, or a similarly strenuous exercise program, Levine says, should check with a doctor first and ask about individual health issues that might require a less intense program ___30___.
三、完形填空

These are sweet words for delivery firms and online retailers(零售商), Amazon included, that are setting up ___32___ with lock manufacturers to overcome a big hurdle for e-commerce.
Traditional deliveries fail so ___33___ that a parcel is driven to a home an average of 1.5 times in the Nordic region, says Kenneth Verlage, head of business development at PostNord, a logistics(物流) giant operating in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. It is an expensive ___34___ made worse, he says, by the fact that recipients have still often had to wait for a failed delivery. Some couriers leave packages on doorsteps, but this ___35___ theft. Of 1,000 Americans surveyed this year by Shorr, a packaging firm, nearly a third had been victims of “porch piracy”, as this is known. Two-fifths ___36___ certain online purchases for fear of it.
A number of firms now sell wirelessly connected locks which a courier’s delivery staff can open using a passcode or smartphone app after the ___37___ has issued a temporary authorization, before leaving home or remotely. Deliveries are filmed with an indoor security camera paired with the lock. The short videos are sent to parcel addressees and typically ___38___, comically in Mr Romanov’s view, with a jiggle of the door handle from outside to show that the departing delivery person has locked up.
Amazon began offering in-home deliveries in 37 American cities in November. Shoppers who have had a special ___39___ and camera installed (costing $199) can select in-home delivery at checkout. Like most firms offering the service, Amazon is tightlipped about user ___40___. The boss of August Home, a San Francisco maker of in-home delivery locks, says that already hundreds of thousands of delivery drivers, dog-walkers, cleaners and Airbnb guests use its app ___41___ to enter others’ homes.
Offerings are ___42___. In 2018 August Home will go to Australia and Britain, and PostNord will launch in-home delivery in four Nordic countries. Walmart and Sears have tried it; Sears even tested unattended appliance repairs. Five logistics firms and two Swedish supermarket chains are trying or using locks from Glue, a firm based in Stockholm, for in-home deliveries.

第一节 阅读单选
Passage 1
Jack looked up and saw in the distance red and green navigation lights coming towards them and knew it must be a naval patrol (巡逻) boat because of its speed. As the humming of the boat’s powerful engines drew closer. Jack bent down.
Jack then let out a frightened cry as the brilliant beam of a searchlight broke the darkness and swept the fishing boat from head to tail. By its reflected light, Jack could clearly see the similar looks on the faces of other bent ones.
Jack knew that if the patrol boat came close enough, its men would surely see the people hidden in the fishing boat. To collect himself, he leaned his head a little so that he could see Derek standing in the head of the boat, holding the tiller (舵柄). Derek managed to wave back at the patrol boat as if he had not a care in the world. How imperturbable he was!
Someone on board the patrol boat switched on a loud speaker and a voice, made harsh and thin by its horn, demanded, “Where are you bound ”
Derek shrugged and shouted back, “Tell me where the fish run and I’ll tell you where I am bound.” The noise of idling engines drowned his voice.
“Say again” barked the speaker.
“Anywhere where there’s fish!” Derek shouted back. There was a pause. The boats drifted closer to each other.
“Why aren’t you showing navigation lights ”
Jack watched as Derek pretended to look puzzled and leant out over the side as if to see whether what they said were true. “They must have blown out,” he apologized with a shrug. “I’ll light them again as soon as you stop rocking me about like this.”
Aboard the patrol boat, the captain was wondering if it would be worthwhile searching this old fishing boat for stowaways (偷渡者) and how many breathing souls such a shabby boat could hide. The radio suddenly cackled.
Abruptly, without another word being exchanged, the light went out and the patrol boat started its engines, speeding off into the dark, Leaving the fishing boat floating about in the water.

Passage 3
Everyone thinks they know Vincent van Gogh until they see “The Potato Eaters”. Painted in 1885, it is as far in tone as could be imagined from the blazing sunflowers of his later work. Five members of a farming household huddle round the table, sharing a meal of potatoes and coffee. The mood is crowded, the colors mostly muted green and browns. Outside the circle of lamplight the dark presses in. It was one of the few group scenes he painted, and nearly everyone who saw it in his lifetime hated it. Van Gogh told his sister that it was the best thing he’d ever done.
This autumn the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has made it the focus of an exhibition, under the title “Mistake or Masterpiece ” The painting is spoiled by errors: funny torsos, gazes that fail to meet. Some may be intentional, but Van Gogh acknowledged others were silly mistakes. Still, he thought his critics missed the point. With “The Potato Eaters” he was reaching for a new authenticity, an appreciation of misshapen beauty that refused to romanticize its subjects.
It started with a deadline. Van Gogh’s brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, wrote to ask whether he had anything for that year’s salon. Vincent was living in Brabant, in the southern Netherlands, drawing the local farmers. He had nothing suitable, but threw himself into the project as he was obsessed with the farmers. He wanted to capture their rough bodies and their honest relationship to the earth.
The Dutch have a genius for this sort of thing: celebrating the ordinary, often with a nose-thumbing defiance. You can look back from Van Gogh to the Old Masters, with their minute attention to cheese, pets and drinking games at the expense of gods and saints. This is what Pieter Bruegel displays in his “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”: the farmer going about his ploughing, not disturbed by the tragedy. You can also look ahead from Van Gogh to the simple, repetitive forms of Piet Mondrian.
The painting wound up hanging over the fireplace of Van Gogh’s brother. Anton van Rappard, a fellow painter, criticized its formal deficiencies so harshly that Van Gogh’s friendship with him never recovered. The next year he moved to France and discovered the Impressionists, and his palette exploded into the kaleidoscope familiar from his later work. Though Van Gogh may not have intended it, that contrast makes “The Potato Eaters” feel like a judgment on the moralism of Dutch society. The refreshing Dutch embrace of the ordinary goes along with a sometimes oppressive conformism. The country’s unofficial slogan is doe normaal: don’t be egotistical, act normally. Yet its greatest geniuses, including Van Gogh, have been those who couldn’t.
53. What can we learn about the painting “The Potato Eaters”
A．It’s the best group scene Van Gogh painted.
B．Almost everyone who has seen the painting hates it.
C．It boasts a similar tone with the artist’s later works.
D．The painting was criticized for its silly mistakes.
54. The Dutch embrace of the ordinary can be seen in ________.
A．Van Gogh’s reluctance to accept the criticism on his work
B．the development of styles from Van Gogh to Mondrian
C．Old Masters’ focus on everyday scenes in their paintings
D．Pieter Bruegel’s vivid depiction of the tragic fall of Icarus
55. The reason why Van Gogh valued “The Potato Eaters” so much might be that ________.
A．the painting marked an important transition in the tone of his paintings
B．he intended viewers to identify with those who valued their fruit of labor
C．it mirrored his genuine appreciation of those farmers, raw yet beautiful
D．he wanted to defend it against the criticism that clearly missed the point
56. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The Impressionists are greatly influenced by Van Gogh’s bold use of colors.
B．Vincent van Gogh’s later work goes against Dutch society’s moral values.
C．The Dutch painters’ celebrating the ordinary is a rebellion against conformism.
D．Only those who don’t act normally can succeed in an oppressive country.
第二节 六选四
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Einstein's Opinions on Creative Thinking
“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.
For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. ___57___ As he told one friend, “When I examine myself and my methods of thought. I find that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge. All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
But how did art differ from science for Einstein Surprisingly, it wasn't the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. ___58___ That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics conference in Kyoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his problems and found words, logical symbols or mathematical equations later.
___59___ “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music. Whenever I feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work. I would bury myself in music, and that would usually solve all my difficulties.”
Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial and structural aspects. “The theory of relativity occurred to me my intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition”, said Einstein. “My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. ___60___.”
A．There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then.
B．Instead, it came from intuition and inspiration
C．For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements.
D．Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music.
E．My new discovery is the result of musical perception.
F．Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.
五、短文填空
Directions: Fill in each blank with the exact missing words according to the text.
Jules ran into me and I jumped on her, followed by the rest of the team. We were all screaming with joy. The referee had to ___61___ and hurry us back to the center circle, but two minutes after we kicked off, he ___62___ for full-time. A draw.
The Germans went first and scored. So did Jules, with a cracking shot that nearly broke through the net. The Germans scored again. So did Mel. After a third German goal, Tina was looking nervous, but she was lucky because her shot went in ___63___.
A loud roar around the stadium told me that she’d scored. The referee ___64___ and with heavy steps I walked over to place the ball on the spot. I was incredibly tired and my legs felt like they were made of lead. Behind me I could hear the girls ___65___.
