33、ar for a few days.When therapy wasnt working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body

34、and spirit.Since each class was heated to 105F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, Id feel a surge （ 涌 起 ） of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However

35、, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didnt get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yo

36、ga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if Id taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I start

37、ed to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing w

To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes.CLike many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reachi

43、ng out to people I dont know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness - something many of us may think little of.In a series of surveys, researche

44、rs looked at how having a socially diverse network related to peoples well-being. In one survey, 578 Americans reported on what activities they had been engaged in, with whom and for how long over the past 24 hours, while also saying how happy with life they were. The researchers found that people w

45、ith more diverse social networks were happier and more satisfied with life than those with less diverse networks - regardless of how much time they had spent socializing overall.“The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently - like an acquaintance, a

46、 friend, a coworker, or even a stranger - the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,” said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.To further test this idea, she and her colleagues looked at large data sets from the American Time Use Survey and the World Healt

47、h Organizations Study on Global Aging and Adult Health. In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.Then Collins and her colleagues did another analysis, using data from a mobile app that 21,644 French-speak

48、ing people used to report on their daily social activities and happiness. There, they found that when someone experienced greater-than-average social diversity one week, they were happier that week and the week after.Why is that? It could be that being with different people contributes to different

49、kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins. Alternatively, it could be that having a more diverse network allows you to get various social supports when you need it. Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks

50、when they can.46. What does the author use as an introduction to the passage?A. A personal communication skill.B. A social trend against ones will.C. A common social phenomenon.D. A culture many people neglect.47. What do we know about the study?A. Its results were different from culture to culture.

51、B. Different results were obtained from the researchers three surveys.C. The researchers collected large amounts of data from different platforms.D. It focused on the impact of a more diverse social network on life satisfaction.48. What can we learn from the 3rd and 4th paragraph?A. Any stranger or

52、co-worker can bring you happiness.B. Broad social circle contributes to more happiness.C. Happiness depends only on social interactions.D. Close relationship influences happiness badly.49. How may social diversity improve ones well-being according to Collins?A. By providing motivation for life.B. By

53、 leading to ones balanced life.C. By arousing ones positive emotions.D. By making him / her sensitive to happiness.50. What will be most probably talked about after the last paragraph?A. Collinss social life.B. Collinss conclusions.C. Collinss new research.D. Collinss specific suggestions.DSome peop

54、le say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left to explore, and that the age of exploration will be over soon.I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. Thats because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experienc

55、ing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.As the golden age of exploration weakens, so does the richness of life on Earth. It isnt just that there are

56、fewer blank areas on the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been progressively carved up （瓜分）. Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition （考察）.Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite be

57、comes commonplace.In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, not just for the protection of it, but because it is an important part of the ecosystems from which we gain our necessities like clean water, food and materials. If we succeed, then ex

58、peditions - brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action - will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.Based on my own research expedition which aims to underst

59、and “edge effects”- how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that todays scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, its

60、difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.It is the young generation that is the main force to lead the next wave of expeditions. The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future.

61、Their leadership is needed now, more than ever.51. Whats the purpose of this text?A. To suggest understanding nature by keeping exploring.B. To advise people not to travel to unknown places.C. To inform us about the reduced biodiversity.D. To call on the public to support the study.52. What can we k

62、now about the expedition in wild spaces from Paragraph 3?A. It is difficult for explorers to make progress.B. It is more accessible with the help of technology.C. It promotes the development of satellite technology.D. It requires explorers to take sufficient heavy equipment.53. What does the underli

63、ned part “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Appear unexpectedly.B. Close temporarily.C. Develop quickly.D. Differ greatly.54. What does the author realize after his research expedition?A. The significance of scientists field trip.B. The difficulty of carrying out fieldwork.C. The need to expan

64、d the edges of forests.D. The influence of his study on the environment.55. The success of future expeditions will be determined by.A. our knowledge of natureB. the time spent in the fieldC. the preservation of wild placesD. the study system of young generations第II卷注意事项：1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。2. 本
