    11．If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very  strenuous  workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．
    Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000joggers and non-joggers for 12years．The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries（动脉）．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．
    Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，"If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．"
    The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as t'ai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than"iron man"events，triathlons and long-distance running and  cycling．According  to  Jacob  Louis  Marott，another researcher involved in the study，"You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health．And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much．"

    32．The underlined word"strenuous"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning to"A"．
    A．hard           B．regular
    C．practical      D．flexible
    33．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2toC．
    A．suggest giving up jogging
    B．show risks of doing sports
    C．provide supportive evidence
    D．introduce the research process
    34．According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？A
    A．It may injure the heart and arteries．
    B．It can make the body tired out．
    C．It will bring much pressure．
    D．It consumes too much energy．
    35．What can be inferred from the text？D
    A．No exercise at all is the best choice．
    B．More exercise means a healthier life．
    C．Marathons runners are least likely to die．
    D．Proper exercise contributes to good health．

    2．Friday，December 30，2011 has been cut for the tiny South Pacific island nation，Samoa as it moved its time zone 24 hours ahead to catch up with Asia，New Zealand and Australia． On New Year's Eve，Samoa will Slave jumped to the west of the international dateline，which runs through the Pacific Ocean and broadly follows the 180 degree line of longitude （经线）．
    Its Prime Minister said it would make it easier for Samoa to trade with their key partners．"No longer shall we have people ringing us up on Monday from New Zealand and Australia thinking it is Monday when we are closing our eyes and praying at churches．And in the same way，on our Fridays when we ring up and already our contacts are holidaying on their Saturdays，"he told Radio New Zealand on Friday．
    To help win public support，the government declared employers must still pay workers for the missing Friday，although banks will not be allowed to charge interest for the lost day．
    Countries are free to choose whether the dateline passes to the east or west，and Samoa's decision means all new maps will need to change．But some tourism operators are worried Samoa will lose business by losing its position as the last place on earth to see the sunset each day，although it is now one of the first places to see in each new day．
    Samoa，a country of about 180，000 people，used to be in the same time zone as New Zealand and Australia，but went back a day in 1892，celebrating July 4 twice and aligning itself with the United States．The date change is not the first major change in Samoa in recent years．In 2009，the country switched to driving on the left hand side of the road from the right hand side，in line with New Zealand and Australia．
    71．Samoa moved its time zone 24 hours ahead toD   
       A．trade with the United States
        B．be the first place to see in each new day
        C．follow the international dateline
        D．be in the same time zone as Australia
    72．Which of the following is true according to the text？A
    A．It's Monday now in Samoa while it is Sunday in America．
        B．Samoa once had a date change about 200 years ago．
        C．Samoa and America are now in the same time zone．
        D．In Samoa，cars move on the right hand side of the road．
    73．On the missing Friday，___ in Samoa，C
        A．banks still charged interest      B．all the people had a day off
        C．workers still got paid            D．all celebrated New Year's Eve
    74．The underlined word"aligning"in the last paragraph possibly meansB．
        A．celebrating     B．adjusting        C．moving           D．trading
    75．What's the text mainly about？D
        A．The change of international dateline．
        B．The first nation to greet New Year．
        C．A new neighbor of Australia．
        D．A new date change in Samoa．

    9．Why can some people sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet，while others are awakened by the lightest sound？
    To find the answer，sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12self-described deep sleepers．After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers，they took part in a three-night study in the university's sleep laboratory．The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room．But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed．
    During the night，the deep sleepers were subjected to 14different recorded sounds，like street traffic，toilets flushing，an ice machine dispensing and an airplane flying overhead．Next door，the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves．
    As expected，all of the participants slept relatively well，but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions．Some of the sleepers didn't wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70decibels （分贝）； others were awakened by sounds at 40or 50decibels．
    The researchers discovered that the difference in a sleeper's reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called"sleep spindles''．A sleep spindle is a burst of high-frequency brain activity coming from deep inside the brain during sleep．The source of the spindles is the thalamus，a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex （皮层）．
    Before the study，the Massachusetts researchers theorized （推理） that the spindles are the brain's way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep．They found that the sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise．
    Scientists already know that most people become lighter sleepers with age，most likely because older people experience less"slow wave sleep''，which is the deepest stage of sleep．People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age．But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in，the number of sleep spindles still predicted their risk for awakening because of noise．
    More research is needed，but the findings suggest that a better understanding of sleep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders．For instance，future studies may try to determine whether diet，exercise or other behaviors may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night．

    63．Some participants can sleep well through loud noises mainly becauseB．
    A．their brains don't respond to outside noises
    B．their brains react differently to noises
    C．they adapt to the environment quickly
    D．they don't pay attention to the monitors
    64．Scientists believe that the key to affecting deep sleep isA．
    A．sleep spindles  B．stages of sleep    C．sleep disorders D．sensory information
    65．It can be learned from the passage thatB．
    A．the older a deep sleeper becomes，the lighter his sleep must be
    B．the more"slow wave sleep"one experiences，the deeper sleep one has
    C．the more frequently a sleeper's brain works，the less information it sends
    D．the deeper sleep people have，the more likely they will be awakened by noise
    66．From the passage we can predictA．
    A．more factors in influencing sleep spindles may be discovered
    B．more solid sleepers will take part in relative experiments
    C．sleep spindles will be applied to changing one's behaviors
    D．deep sleepers will probably enjoy a more healthy life．

    6．The name of Macau comes from the word Magao （A-Ma Temple），which were shrines （圣地） dedicated to Mazu，a holy sea goddess worshiped by Macau people．It was said that when the Portuguese people first came here in the middle of sixteenth century，one of the officers asked a fisherman the name of the land．The man misunderstood the officer's question，and answered"Magao"-the name of A-Ma Temple in front them．
    Many people wonder how Macau is spelled．Is it"Macao"or"Macau"？Both are actually correct．Macao is Portuguese，and this is the official spelling backed by Macau SAR Government．Macau is English，that's how they spell it in the U．S．and other parts of the world．However，most publications use"Macau"as the preferred spelling
    Members of the Southern Song Dynasty and some 50，000followers were the first recorded inhabitants （居民） of the area，seeking shelter in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277．They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there．
    The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces．During the Ming Dynasty （1368-1643），fishermen migrated to Macau from various parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces and built the A-Ma Temple in which they prayed for safety on the sea
    Chinese fishermen have been living and working in the Pearl River Delta for more than four thousand years．The small peninsula and islands that came to be called Macau were first settled by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century
    In 1998，Chinese （Cantonese） was given official status and the same legal power as Portuguese，the official language．The Chinese government assumed sovereignty over Macau on December 20，1999，ending 329years of Portuguese rule

    68．We can learn from the text that the name"Macau"B
    A．is named after a sea goddess
    B．is first called by the Portuguese
    C．is only used in publications

    a．Portuguese people first came to Macau
    b．The fishermen of Guangdong and Fujian migrated to Macau

    A．Both Chinese and Portuguese are official languages in Macau
    B．The A-Ma Temple was built in honour of a holy sea goddess
    C．The inhabitants in Macau mainly made their living by fishing before the 16th century
    D．Macau didn't belong to China until December 20，1999
    71．Members of the Southern Song Dynasty went to Macau in order toC
    A．show commercial interest in Macau
