13、tting for extended periods of time (like at your 9-to-5 desk job) can do harm to your health. While exercise is a big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting, it was unclear how many gym periods were needed to help until now.A new study, published in The Lancet, shows the ideal formula for r

14、educing the negative effects of a sedentary（久坐的）job. Instead of a fixed number of hours spent exercising, the ratio（比率）depends on how much you sit: people who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one hour each day moving. If you sit six hours a day, you should spend half an hour exerc

15、ising. The research also indicates that the exercise doesnt have to be all once or rigorous（严格的）. It can be spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.The team behind the study analyzed data from a pool of a million adults over the age of 45 in Western Europe, the United States, and Austr

16、alia. Using previous data, the researchers examined data from 16 published studies and used it to determine how much exercise is required to compensate for sitting.

28、 it.C. Detailed description of the artwork.D. The signature of the applicants parent.C“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult

29、 smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her Study, participants were randomly(随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. Peo

30、ple in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these n

31、umbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said theyd rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If youre training for a marathon, you wouldnt expect to turn up a

32、nd just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, “Well, if I gradually reduce, its like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasnt the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) be

33、fore they even reached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if youre ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the pat

34、ients were able to quit, thats acceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.28. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A. She quit s

35、moking with her daughters help.B. She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.C. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.D. She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.29.

36、ing.B. They were offered nicotine replacement.C. They were encouraged by psychologist.D. They were looked after by physicians.30. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawleys experiment?A. It is encouraging B. It is unexpectedC. It is impractical C. It is misleading31. Take the

37、idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) as an example to show that quitting smoking .A. is something few can accomplish B. requires a lot of patienceC. needs some practice first D. is a challenge at the beginningDThat people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a

38、phenomenon known as the first night effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do

39、 with how humans evolved.The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining ale

40、rt enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the universitys Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the depart

41、ment for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. D

42、uring deep sleep, the participants brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process in

43、formation detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that if the left hemisphere was staying a

44、lert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.32. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert

45、 while asleep.B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.D. She conducted studies on birds and dolphins sleeping patterns.33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A. She monitored the brain activity

46、of participants sleeping in a new environment.B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants brains.D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.34. What did Dr. Sasaki

47、do when re-running her experiment?A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B. She recorded participants adaptation to changed environment.C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).D. She compared the responses of different participants.35. What did Dr. Sa

48、saki find about the participants in her experiment?A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文
