investigationDConstant dropping wears stoneCSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with natureHowever，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environmentSome sports are resource hungryGolf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of waterBesides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good conditionThis causes major environmental effectsFor example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in so me local areasThere are many environment friendly sportsPower walking is one of them that you could take up todayYou don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purseSimple and free，power walking can also keep you fitIf you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bonesExperts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight controlWhatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materialsBut the final goal should be “green gyms”They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centersMembers of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spacesThere is no special requirement for you to start your membershipAnd best of all，it's free28What do we know about golf from the passage？AIt is popular in Portugal and SpainBIt causes water shortages around the worldCIt pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastesDIt needs water and electricity to keep its courses green29The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _Ait is an outdoor sportBit improves our healthCit uses fewer resourcesDit is recommended by experts30Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？ACycling around a lakeBMotor racing in the desertCPlaying basketball in a clubDSwimming in a sports center31The author writes the passage to _Ashow us the function of major sportsBencourage us to go in for green sportsCdiscuss the major influence of popular sportsDintroduce different types of environment friendly sportsDDo cell phones cause cancer？No one knows for sureMobile phones have only been widely used for around 30 years，with the very first ones introduced just over 40 years agoIt's too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones areIn February 2017，a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism（葡萄糖代谢）during cell phone useThe study became the first to prove that cell phone use changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutesThe volunteers' brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolismThen in May 2017，the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer （IARC）added radiation from cell phones to its list of substances that possibly cause cancer in humansThe IARC'S research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma，a dangerous type of brain cancer，or meningioma，a more common，but typically not harmful cancerHowever，the study did find enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of gliomaIn a contrasting report released in July 2017，a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of useThe study showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors（肿瘤）in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespreadWith no long-term research available yet，limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by texting more and talking less is recommendedStay off the phone when you have a weak signal，as it will need more radiation to contact the towerPhone use for children should also be limited because their brains absort twice as much cell phone radiation32We can't be sure whether cell phones cause cancer because _Athere has been little research on the problem up to nowBit is difficult to track the bad effects of cell phone radiationCdifferent studies has been arguing fiercely about this problemDthere has been little evidence of it given the short history of cell phones33What did the IARC find from their research？ARadiation from the cell phone is certain to cause some brain cancersBUsing cell phone for long periods of time could increase the risk of cancerCCell phone use is more likely to cause a common cancerthan a dangerous oneDStaying away from cell phones with weak signal can reduce the risk of cancer34What does “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to？AA cell phoneBThe phone userCThe phone radiationDThe cell phone signal35What is recommended to reduce the harm from cell phone use？AStaying far away from the signal towerBUsing cell phones when the signal is weakCLimiting children's exposure to cell phonesDTalking more and texting less via cell phones第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to get pumped（满腔热情的）after working hours？After a long
