Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food.In Cape Town, South Africa,baboons (拂拂) sometimes come into the suburbs.They eat fruit from gardens and go into people's kitchens! Baboons are strong animals and sometimes they scare children and fight with pet dogs.Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for baboons too.Sometimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents.The city council in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors.Their job is to find baboons in the city and take them back to the countryside.The problem is that a lot of baboons will come back to the city to find food again.
In Berlin, Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food.They eat flowers and plants and dig in gardens and parks in the city.They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents.Some city residents like the pigs and give them food.But the city council is worried about the traffic accidents.They have told people to stop giving the pigs food and have put up fences to stop the pigs from coming into the city.

1.
Many news reports concern big animals in the city.
参考答案A
解析根据文章第一段第一句 “Recently, there have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals coming into towns and cities.” ，明确提到最近在报纸和电视上有很多关于大型动物进入城镇和城市的报道，与 “Many news reports concern big animals in the city.”（许多新闻报道关注城市里的大型动物）意思相符，所以应该选 A正确。
2.
Wild animals often come into cities for the winter.
参考答案B
解析文章第二段第一句 “Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food.” 表明野生动物通常进入城市是为了寻找食物，而不是为了过冬，所以 “Wild animals often come into cities for the winter.”（野生动物经常为了过冬进入城市）说法错误，选 B 正确。
3.
The food in kitchens can be bad for baboons.
参考答案C
解析文中只是提到 “In Cape Town, South Africa,baboons (拂拂) sometimes come into the suburbs.They eat fruit from gardens and go into people's kitchens!” ，说明了狒狒会进入厨房，但并没有提及厨房里的食物对狒狒是否有害，所以 “ The food in kitchens can be bad for baboons.”（厨房里的食物对狒狒可能有害）属于未提及内容，选 C 正确。
4.
Cape Town is a safe place for baboons.
参考答案B
解析从第二段 “Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for baboons too.Sometimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents.” 可知，城市对狒狒来说也可能是危险的，它们有时会在车祸中受伤，并非是安全的地方，所以 “Cape Town is a safe place for baboons.”（开普敦对狒狒来说是个安全的地方）说法错误，选 B 正确。
5.
Many baboons will return after being sent away from the city.
参考答案A
解析依据第二段最后一句 “The problem is that a lot of baboons will come back to the city to find food again.” ，能得出很多狒狒在被送回乡下后会再次回到城市找食物，“Many baboons will return after being sent away from the city.”（许多狒狒在被送出城市后会回来）说法正确，选 A 正确。
6.
There are more wild pigs in Berlin now than in the past.
参考答案C
解析文章在讲述德国柏林的野猪时，只是说 “groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food.” ，提到了野猪有时会进城找食物，并没有关于现在柏林野猪数量和过去数量比较的内容，所以 “There are more wild pigs in Berlin now than in the past.”（现在柏林的野猪比过去多）属于未提及内容，选 C 正确。
7.
Wild pigs sometimes cause traffic problems in Berlin.
参考答案A
解析由第三段 “They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents.” 可知，野猪会在街道上行走并造成交通事故，“Wild pigs sometimes cause traffic problems in Berlin.”（野猪有时在柏林造成交通问题）说法正确，选 A 正确。
8.
Wild pigs started to come into Berlin years ago.
参考答案C
解析文中关于德国柏林野猪进入城市的描述，只是说明了它们有时会进城找食物以及造成的一些问题等，没有提及野猪是从什么时候开始进入柏林的，所以 “Wild pigs started to come into Berlin years ago.”（野猪几年前开始进入柏林）属于未提及内容，选 C 正确。
9.
No one knows the number of wild dogs in Moscow.
参考答案B
解析根据第四段第一句 “In Moscow, Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs.” ，明确给出了莫斯科有 35000 只野狗，并非没人知道数量，所以 “No one knows the number of wild dogs in Moscow.”（没人知道莫斯科野狗的数量）说法错误，选 B 正确。

What Happens When You Stop Exercising
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped exercising? A new study on twins was published in the journal Medicine & Science.The results of the study are dramatic.In the study, researchers looked at 10 pairs of twin men.Each set of twins was in their mid-30s.Each had been brought up in the same family.Since they were identical, they shared the same DNA.They had maintained the same level of physical activity for most of their lives.But there was one difference.One twin of each set had cut on exercising in the past few years due to work or family pressure.On average, the less active twin exercised less than twice a week, while the active twin exercised at least twice a week.The research team put each twin through a set of medical tests to study their overall health.
The results showed big differences.While the more active twins had lower body fat percentage, better endurance level, and normal sensitivity, the inactive twins had about seven more pounds of body fat, worse endurance, and signs of disease.Not only were their bodies different; their brains were different as well.The active twins had more gray matter (the information processing part of the brain), particularly in areas that control balance.
The conclusion of the study is clear.Quitting your fitness routine can bring negative effects to your body and your brain as well.Considering the less active twins in the study had become couch potatoes(沉溺于看电视的人）only recently,these changes can sneak up on you a lot sooner than you'd think.So keep exercising.It is beneficial to your overall health!

11.
This text is mainly about______.
参考答案B
解析文章开篇提出 “Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped exercising?”（你有没有想过如果你停止锻炼会发生什么？）这一问题，接着详细阐述了关于双胞胎的研究过程和结果，表明停止锻炼会对身体和大脑产生负面影响，而持续锻炼对整体健康有益。全文围绕锻炼的作用展开，A 选项 “DNA 的重要性” 只是研究中提到双胞胎的一个特征，并非主要内容；C 选项 “新杂志的诞生” 与文章核心无关；D 选项 “双胞胎之间的差异” 只是研究的对象和方式，重点是通过双胞胎的差异来体现锻炼的影响，所以文章主要是关于锻炼的作用，选 B 正确。
12.
Researchers chose twins for their study mostly because they______.
参考答案A
解析根据第一段 “Since they were identical, they shared the same DNA. They had maintained the same level of physical activity for most of their lives.” 可知，研究选择双胞胎主要是因为他们是同卵双胞胎，拥有相同的 DNA，这样在研究锻炼对身体的影响时，可以排除因基因不同而产生的干扰因素，更能准确地体现出锻炼与否带来的差异。B 选项 “看起来相似” 不是主要原因；C 选项 “有相同的生活方式” 表述不准确，他们只是大部分时间保持相同的身体活动水平，生活方式还包括很多其他方面；D 选项 “一起长大” 也不是选择双胞胎进行研究的关键因素，关键是相同的 DNA，所以选 A 正确。
13.
The twins in the study differed in______.
参考答案B
解析从第一段 “But there was one difference. One twin of each set had cut on exercising in the past few years due to work or family pressure. On average, the less active twin exercised less than twice a week, while the active twin exercised at least twice a week.” 可以明确看出，研究中的双胞胎在锻炼频率上存在差异，一个锻炼频率低，一个锻炼频率高。A 选项 “睡眠习惯”、C 选项 “工作时间” 和 D 选项 “食物偏好” 在文中均未提及他们之间存在差异，所以选 B 正确。
14.
The study found that the more active twins became______.
参考答案D
解析依据第二段 “The results showed big differences. While the more active twins had lower body fat percentage, better endurance level, and normal sensitivity, the inactive twins had about seven more pounds of body fat, worse endurance, and signs of disease.” 可知，更活跃的双胞胎体脂率更低，耐力水平更好，敏感性正常。A 选项 “更缺乏创造力” 文中未提及；B 选项 “更不敏感” 与原文 “normal sensitivity”（正常敏感性）不符；C 选项 “更情绪化” 在文中也没有相关内容；而 “better endurance level” 表明更活跃的双胞胎更有耐力，即 “more endurable”，所以选 D 正确。
15.
The phrase "sneak up on" (Para.4) most probably means______.
参考答案C
解析前文提到 “Quitting your fitness routine can bring negative effects to your body and your brain as well. Considering the less active twins in the study had become couch potatoes only recently, these changes can sneak up on you a lot sooner than you'd think.”，意思是停止健身会对身体和大脑带来负面影响，而且这些不活跃的双胞胎最近才变成沉溺于看电视的人，但这些变化比你想象的要早得多地 “sneak up on” 你。A 选项 “保护” 不符合语境；B 选项 “攻击” 过于严重；D 选项 “使受益” 与 “negative effects”（负面影响）相悖；“affect”（影响）在这里表示这些负面变化会比预期更早地影响到你，符合文意，所以 “sneak up on” 最有可能的意思是 “affect”，选 C 正确。

Surviving Illness Away From Home
Being ill is a horrible thing at the best of times, but what is even worse is when you are ill away from home.If you're living away from home or abroad, it's important to get better at your own pace in order to ensure you can enjoy the rest of your time away.
① Pampering(娇惯）yourself is always a good start.If you feel so ill and tired that you can't even get out of bed, then don't! Make a trip to the kitchen and stock up on fluids and try to make yourself some hot food.The key to getting better is to drink lots of fluids.Water and hot drinks such as green tea and soup are usually the best things.
② Try to distract yourself from feeling horrible.If you have a TV, watch one of your favorite films or TV series.If you don't have a TV, maybe put the radio on.If you have a headache and all the noise is too much to handle, try reading the book you've always wanted to read but never had the time to.Being ill doesn't have to be the worst day in the world!
③ Tell your friends and family that you are ill.Sometimes there is nothing better than hearing words of comfort from loved ones who feel sorry for you and want to cheer you up and make you happy.There is nothing wrong with a little attention from others when you're ill.Who knows, they might even be willing to travel and visit you with lots of "Get Well" presents like your favorite food, magazine or flowers.
④ When you do arrive at a new place where you will be staying for a few months, make sure you know exactly where the nearest drugstore is.If you are in a foreign country, it might be best to translate a few useful phrases before you start asking for a cure.

参考答案41.encouraged；42.requires；43.healthy；44.vegetables；45.equally；46.embrassed；47.failure；48.attractive；49.impossible；50.comfortable；
解析
(41).encouraged：句子主语 “They” 和 “encourage” 之间是被动关系，即 “他们被鼓励”，所以用被动语态 “be + 过去分词” 的形式，“encourage” 的过去分词是 “encouraged”，故填 “encouraged”。
(42).requires：这里 “to build a positive body image” 是动词不定式短语作主语，当动词不定式作主语时，谓语动词一般用单数形式，句子时态为一般现在时，所以 “require” 要用第三人称单数形式 “requires”，故填 “requires”。
(43).healthy：这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词 “lifestyle”，“health” 是名词 “健康”，其形容词形式 “healthy” 表示 “健康的”，“a healthy lifestyle” 意为 “健康的生活方式”，故填 “healthy”。
(44).vegetables：“and” 连接两个并列成分，“fruits” 是复数形式，“vegetable” 是可数名词，通常用复数形式表示一类事物，所以这里要用 “vegetables”，故填 “vegetables”。
(45).equally：这里需要一个副词来修饰形容词 “important”，“equal” 是形容词 “平等的；相等的”，其副词形式 “equally” 表示 “同样地；相等地”，“equally important” 意为 “同样重要”，故填 “equally”。
(46).embarrassed：“feel” 是系动词，后面接形容词作表语，“embarrass” 是动词 “使尴尬”，其形容词形式有 “embarrassed”（感到尴尬的，修饰人）和 “embarrassing”（令人尴尬的，修饰物），这里主语是 “We”，表示人的感受，所以用 “embarrassed”，故填 “embarrassed”。
(47).failure：“personal” 是形容词，后面需要接名词，“fail” 是动词 “失败”，其名词形式 “failure” 表示 “失败；失败的事”，“personal failure” 意为 “个人的失败”，故填 “failure”。
(48).attractive：“as...as...” 结构中，中间要用形容词或副词的原级，“be” 动词后面接形容词作表语，“attract” 是动词 “吸引”，其形容词形式 “attractive” 表示 “有吸引力的；迷人的”，“be as attractive as” 意为 “和…… 一样有吸引力”，故填 “attractive”。
(49).impossible：根据前文 “我们应该爱自己” 以及 “rather than”（而不是）可知，这里表达的是不应该追求 “不可能的” 标准，“possible” 是形容词 “可能的”，其反义词 “impossible” 表示 “不可能的”，“impossible standards” 意为 “不可能达到的标准”，故填 “impossible”。
(50).comfortable：“feel” 是系动词，后面接形容词作表语，“comfort” 是名词 “安慰；舒适”，其形容词形式 “comfortable” 表示 “舒适的；自在的”，“feel comfortable” 意为 “感到舒适”，故填 “comfortable”。
(41).encouraged：句子主语 “They” 和 “encourage” 之间是被动关系，即 “他们被鼓励”，所以用被动语态 “be + 过去分词” 的形式，“encourage” 的过去分词是 “encouraged”，故填 “encouraged”。
