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.
Here is a book, Strength and Power Training for All Ages, for your reference.
Common sense about fitness in the book:
·The key muscles to work for an injury-free body
·How to tell how much weight is suitable for you
·How to strengthen the bones most likely to break
·How to take pressure off your knees when walking or running
·Why you’ll want to apply heat to sore joints before you exercise
Four total body workouts in the book:
·Build bones
·Fight diseases
·Improve balance
·Strengthen muscles &Increase muscle power
Get a copy, start training, and then you’ll discover a whole new self.

The beauty industry produces many units of one-time use containers every year. More and more
consumers are asking how they can keep themselves clean and beautiful without trashing the planet.
It’s a question Women of the Future winner, Natassia Nicolao, considered during her years working in
product development for beauty and wellness companies. Raised by a strong and supportive mother,
Natassia used her skills and passion to make a difference. In 2021, she created her waterless beauty brand.
She said, “Water is involved in every stage of a product life cycle. Everything we use, buy, sell and
make has a huge water footprint. On top of that, the beauty industry adds water as the main ingredients in its
products, despite it having no direct benefit to our skin.”
Having lived through water restrictions in drought-ridden Australia, Natassia felt it necessary to stop
the overuse of water in the beauty industry. Natassia has always loved beauty. Her company tries to be
sustainable in every step of the way, but at its core, it is about removing water from our beauty routines.
“It’s really rooted in water conservation first, and then managing your water footprint, your carbon
footprint and your waste footprint,” Natassia said. “We create waterless beauty products to help conserve
water.” The glass bottles and jars of her products can be recycled. The oils and wipes are formulated without
any water, requiring no water to use. The company also has a piece of game-changing beauty technology:
face-wipes and masks that completely dissolve in water.
“The company is still in its beginning,” Natassia said. With the prize money from Women of the Future,
she plans to purchase a machine to simplify the creation of the wipes and masks. The publicity, meanwhile,
will help her spread the message central to the company’s existence that beauty must do better. Natassia
believes that, with a little courage and innovation, it can do.
24．What does the underlined word “trashing” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Studying. B．Damaging. C．Exploding. D．Supporting.
25．What mainly led to the birth of Natassia’s company?
A．Her pursuit of profit. B．Her best beauty skills.
C．Her growth environment. D．Her love of extreme beauty.
26．Which can best describe the products of Natassia’s company?
A．Environmentally friendly. B．Relatively cheap.
C．Elegant. D．World-famous.27．How does Natassia feel about the beauty industry?
A．It has died out. B．It’s promising. C．It develops well. D．It’s worth analysis.

“The majority of decisions we make do not come from the conscious (有意识的) mind, but the
subconscious mind,” Beni Gradwohl, the co-founder of Cognovi Labs, said. “Our decisions are based on
emotions. People think they are very rational ( 理智的). But they are not. In fact, decisions in the
subconscious mind are made in a second before the rational mind recognizes that.”
Gradwohl used to think that cold and hard data defined the world. But when he was exposed to
behavioral economics, his world view changed. He said, “Emotional intelligence is more important than
intelligence quotient (IQ). Most successful leaders in the world don’t have above-average IQ but above
average emotional quotient (EQ).”
Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions,
using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions.
When asked how event organizers could benefit from using emotional AI, Gradwohl said, “The first
thing is whether you really understand what’s driving your target audience to an event.” He added, “You can
ask them, but what potential registrants tell you may be incorrect.”
According to Gradwohl, registering for an event is not an entirely rational decision, and it goes deeper.
Understanding how your target audience makes decisions is important because you don’t want to sell them
something they don’t care about. Cognovi Labs’ AI can uncover the underlying emotional drivers or
blockers of your target audience’s decision-making.
Beyond using Cognovi Labs’ AI in the marketing leading up to an event, once the event is underway,
Gradwohl thinks organizers can know how their participants are feeling via the AI. That involves using
feedback (反馈) surveys. He said, “Have attendees talk to the event app and then transcribe that. We call that
diagnostic (诊断的) interview because they may generate a strong emotional response. With those
conversations about what they are experiencing throughout the program at different times of the day, we will
see what the emotional blockers and drivers are. We can get a full picture of the emotional aspects of the
attendees.”
28．What may Cognovi Labs mainly focus on?
A．Researching people’s potential emotions.B．Helping people make rational decisions.
C．Training people to develop conscious minds. D．Leading people to study science and technology.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A．Registering for an event is important. B．Believing target audience is necessary.C．Cognovi Labs’ AI helps event organizers. D．Cognovi Labs’ AI benefits lots of drivers.
30．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s feedback surveys. B．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s additional function.
C．The ways to organize a marketing event.D．The attendees’ strong emotional response.
31．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A．The Founder of an Emotional AI B．The Future of Behavioral Economics
C．An AI Company Improves Intelligence D．An Emotional AI Helps Make Decisions
D
Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I
saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the
review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision
blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate
research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end
of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the
programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks
later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I
could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to,
but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert
remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not
only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific
interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my
desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected
from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective
(视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other
programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are
offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
32．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name?A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled.
33．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.
A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing
34．What can we learn from this passage?
A．An invitation is a reputation.
B．An innovation is a resolution.
C．A rejection can be a redirection.
D．A reflection can be a restriction.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
You know you really want to get good grades.Your parents have put the pressure on you, or you’ve
promised that you’ll do better. 35 If you work to find a focused mindset and establish a study
schedule, you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop
completely.
Tune out specific distractions as you notice them. Say you’re trying to study in the library and you keep
getting distracted by someone texting. Take note of this specific distraction and then tell yourself you’re
going to overcome it. 36 And eventually you’ll no longer notice it.
Give yourself a break. 37 So it’s no surprise if you find yourself distracted from studying by
thoughts about a lot of other things. Rather than acting like all of those other needs don’t exist, give yourself
an outlet.Spend five minutes thinking about everything that is on your plate, but then tell yourself that it’s
time to focus on the main task — studying.
Prioritize your studying by setting a main goal.When you’ve got an exam coming up, it’s easy to think
you need to study everything. If you want to make things more manageable and be less prone to becoming
distracted, do as follows: 38
39 Some people imagine that knocking out several things at once means you can work
faster.However, doing your homework while watching TV or shopping online will cause you to lose your
focus. So concentrate on a piece of work at a time instead.
If you follow the above consistently, you’ll find that you gradually spend less and less time being
distracted.
A．Life can get really busy.
B．Don’t attempt to multitask.C．Put off the easier tasks instead.
D．But you are likely unable to concentrate.
E．Break things down and establish just one primary goal.
F．Sometimes stepping away from studies can be more beneficial.
G．Keep doing this every time something taking your attention away comes up.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month, which uses stand-up comedy to
help patients overcome their trauma (创伤). The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the
University of Bristol.
Comedy is a natural human trait (特质). Every night we come back home from work and tell our family
what our day was like, but on the way home we’ll make up details, and try to make our stories funnier to
entertain family members. Professional comedy education is to give a tool to take this to a more polished
and informed level. The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology,
comedy and storytelling.”
Actually, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our
life, but from our everyday struggles. People, who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the loss of a
close friend or ill health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something
funny about the situation. We can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it.
While the comedy course can’t take the place of traditional clinical approaches, talking about our
trauma in a funny way is quite lovely, and more importantly, it has a chain reaction on our audience, and we
help other people to deal with their sadness. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other
people feel less alone. Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely comforting. Comedy builds
community.
40．Who was the course pioneered by?
41．What is the content of the course?
42．Please underline the false part in the following statement and explain why.
Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well.43．If you meet a trauma, would you like to take the comedy course? Why?
(In about 40 words)
