17．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 1，000 joggers（慢跑者）and non - joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper 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 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph 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（動脈）.Over time，this can cause serious effects.
Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，"If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy（壽命），jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful."
The implications（暗示）of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and 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".
（1）Which of the following words can replace "strenuous" in Paragraph 1？
A．regular.
B．hard.
C．practical.
D．limited.
（2）Why does the author presents the figures （數字） in Paragraph 2？

C．To provide supportive evidence.
D．To introduce the research content.
（3）According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？

（4）What can be the best title of the text？
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．Too strenuous exercise is no better than.組卷：21引用：4難度：0.6 -
18．Two years ago I was very lonely and didn't talk with anyone about my feelings.At the time I didn't have many friends.I wanted someone to share my experiences and secrets with.I wanted someone to understand me.I started to imagine this friend.Often I imagine our conversations and what we would do，but I didn't give my imagination a face.

19． Giving silkworm silk a metallic bath may make the strands （絲線） both strong and solid，scientists reported on October 6 in Matter.The work is the latest in a decades-long pursuit of creating fibers as strong，lightweight and biodegradable as spider silk.If scientists can mass-produce such material，the potential uses will range from the biomedical to the athletic.Sewing （縫） up wounds，even sporting equipment could get a significant improvement.
"Hunting for enough silky material to make these super strong products has been a big barrier.Silk from silkworms is simple to harvest，but not all that strong.And spider silk，the gold-standard for hand-spun strength and toughness，is not exactly easy to collect.Unlike silkworms，spiders cannot be farmed due to their nature，" wrote study coauthor Zhi Lin，a structural biologist at Tianjin University.
"Scientists around the world have tried to spin （編織） strong strands in the lab using silkworm cocoons.The first step is to take off the silk's sticky outer coating.Scientists can do this by boiling the fibers in a chemical bath，but that can be like taking a knife to silk proteins.If the proteins get too damaged，it's hard for scientists to respin them into high-quality strands，" said Chris Holland，a materials scientist at the University of Sheffield.
Lin's team tried gentler approaches，one of which used lower temperatures and a papaya enzyme （木瓜酵素），to help dissolve （溶解） the silk's coating.That seemed to work.They don't have little pieces of silk protein.That's huge because the bigger the proteins that remain，the stronger the fibers are going to be.After some processing steps，the researchers bathed the pressed silk in a solution containing zinc and iron ions （鋅鐵離子）.That was why some of the strands were so strong — Lin's team detected zinc ions in the finished fibers.
But Holland wasn't so sure. "The team's real innovation may be that they've managed to untwist silk in a less damaging way.The silk protein remains in a good state，" he said， "In my mind，that's a major step forward."
（1）Why is creating super strong silk worth the long-time pursuit？
A．It can be mass-produced.
B．It promotes athletic training.
C．It might have wide applications.
D．It is potentially environmentally friendly.
（2）What makes it hard to collect desirable natural silk according to Lin？
A．The poor harvest of silkworm silk.
B．The low quality of spider silk.
C．The absence of silkworm data.
D．The insufficient supply of spider silk.
（3）How did Lin's team make the silk fiber strong？
A．By enhancing its protein.
B．By bathing it in metallic liquid.
C．By removing its coating.
D．By squeezing it firmly in a tube.
（4）In what aspect did Lin's team make a breakthrough according to Holland？
A．Processing silk in a safer method.
B．Mass-producing silk.
C．Creating silk of superior quality.
D．Analyzing silk scientifically.組卷：4引用：4難度：0.5

20．Setting boundaries （界限）with people，especially those you care about，can be difficult.You may feel guilty about doing so，but there's no need to.You won't be able to care for others if you can't care for yourself.（1）
Offer alternatives （選擇）to what they want.
You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day.Being a good friend doesn't mean doing everything they want you to do.You have every right to decide what you feel comfortable with.（2）However，you can offer alternatives.You can say， "It's OK to come over，but only one hour is available. "
Tell your friend you'll help，but you expect help，too.
You may find that you are always asked for help but never receive any in return.（3）For example，if your friend always asks for a lift，you could say， "I don't mind taking you places，but I'll need some gas money if this is going to continue. "
（4）
Let them know you'll be there for them with conditions.Some "friends" want to use up all you've got，but never offer anything in return.（5）These are "friends" you don't need，and you'll need to let them know now.Offer a warning about boundary violations to let your friend know when they occur.You might say， "Hey，you failed to keep an appointment as arranged and that wasn't cool. "
A.Give a warning.
B.Do some helpful acts.
C.You don't have to cut them off completely.
D.They may borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor.
E.Setting up boundaries gives you a chance to practice this self-care.

In many places for much of human history，girls were considered property.They were required to obey their fathers until the day they had to start obeying their husbands.Few people thought it （1）to educate them.Even fewer imagined that a girl could grow up to govern Germany，run the IMF or invent a vaccine.
In most of the world that vision of girlhood now seems not merely old-fashioned but unimaginably（2）.In much of the rich world parents now treat their daughters as well as they do their sons，and invest as much in their future.In field after field girls have caught up with boys.Globally，young women enrolled at universities now （3）young men.The speed of change has been amazing.Fifty years ago only 49% of primary school-age girls in lower-middle-income countries were in school，compared with 71% of boys；today the （4）of both is about 90%.In 1998 only half the world's secondary-school-age girls were enrolled；today two-thirds are.Over the same period rates of （5）fell from one in five young women aged 15-24 to one in ten，bringing them roughly on a par with young men.
Girl babies are more wanted than ever before and girls are healthier.When societies handle girlhood well，the knock-on（連鎖的）（6）are surprising.A girl who finishes secondary school is less likely to become a teenage mother.Education boosts earning power and （7）choices，so she is less likely to be poor or to suffer domestic abuse.
The COVID-19 pandemic could block progress for girls in poorer countries.During previous disasters，they have often been the ones who have suffered the most.When Ebola forced West African schools to close in 2014，many girls dropped out.UNICEF （8）that something similar could happen with COVID-19-but on a larger scale.
The risk of regression（倒退）is real.So it is essential that，even if the governments of poorer countries have to tighten their belts，they （9）spending on education and girls.Donors should help，too.And （10）should be joined up.

24．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Despite their genetic similarities，my twin sisters Lenna and Elsa were quite different.Lenna was a recognized athlete in our community.We all expected her to attain a scholarship on one field or another，but she lacked a certain edge to her reasoning.Elsa got along well with everyone who works in the library，but she had the grace（優雅） of a two-legged table.They had found few occasions to relate with one another and grew distant.Had I not lived with them，I would not have known them to be sisters.
They did，however，share a drive for success that seemed to become more successful around the same time during senior year.After a track and field season，Lenna was offered full scholarship at a reputable state university near our home，so long as she maintained a 3.0 GPA.Elsa had a more important thing to do：she was one perfect report card away from seizing the chance of making a speech at a graduation ceremony from her opponent，Chet Good wejye.aiher.At the end of the sixth Wednesday of the fourth marking period，as the sisters unfolded the printed report cards，their smiles turned to tears：Lenna was getting a"D"in science and Elsa was getting a"C"in gym class.
Lenna and Elsa came home at the same time and were surprised to find one another disappointed.As they argued with one another about who had suffered the greater misfortune，they realized that the other's problem sounded easy to solve.Elsa barked，"Your problem isn't even a problem.I could pass that test easily and I can show you how to as well."Lenna retorted（反駁），"Well，all you need to do to get an'A's to shorten your mile time to five or ten minutes.Two weeks of training with me and the coach will try to have you on the track team."The girls exchanged glances and came to a quick agreement.
注意：
（1）續寫詞數應為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
Every morning for the next two weeks，Lenna woke Elsa up at 4：30 to run.
Final report cards were distributed the Monday before graduation.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.2
