3、one of our skilled instructors.This will happen two or three weeks after you have joined.The instructor looks at your health,your current needs and the way you live,and organizes a program suitable for you.Gymnasium Our gymnasiums are the most modem in the area and have high quality exercise equipme

4、nt.For safety reasons,you must wear sportswear and trainers while exercising,and please remember to take a small towel too.It is one of our rules that you wipe the equipment after use.There is no limit to how long you spend in the gymnasiums,but we ask you to respect other members by only spending 2

5、0 minutes on each piece of equipment.There are experienced staff helping you in the gymnasiums at any time.Locker Rooms We have large male and female locker rooms.Please ensure that your property is kept in your locker at all times.Any belongings which are found in a locker overnight will be removed

9、amazing things with only a thought.By concentrating on strength,for example,you can kick a soccer ball across a field.By focusing on swift actions,you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy.To scientists,though,it is a very real goal.They ar

10、e creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk.These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same.Unlike other bionic devices,these robotic“super suits”do not communicate with muscles and nerves.Instead,they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005,doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hut

11、chinson,who had lost her right arm in an accident.Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex(大脑皮层运动区).Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.After she recovered,researchers pluggedHutchinsons receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers.Then they connec

12、ted a robotic arm to the computers.The computerscould interpretHutchinsons brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson,the computer,and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup.“She smiled when she put down that drinkthats everything.”says Donoghu

13、e,a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success.One of those scientists is Dr.Miguel Nicolelis,who designed a whole-body bionic equipment.In 2014,a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguels full-body exoskeletons.The exoskelet

14、on was connected to brain signal sensors in the mans cap.By thinking about kicking,he sent signals to a computer on his back.The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick.Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.4.Which can best describe the

15、 tone of paragraph 1?A.Narrative and serious.B.Persuasive and critical.C.Informative and objective.D.Descriptive and imaginative.5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Reason of the experiment.B.Results of the experiment.C.Process of the experiment.D.Significance of the experiment.6.Why is Dr.Miguels

16、exoskeleton special?A.It can be used on animals.B.It can move the whole body.C.It was supported by computers.D.It was connected directly to the brain.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B.Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinsons

17、 bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D.Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.C Not long after the first fitness magazine was published,a list probably followed soon after,ranking the best fitness equipment.This tradition h

18、as continued,with the implied message:usethisand exercise willbe yours.And thats part of the problem,says Dr.Lieberman,a professor of Harvard University.There isnt one“best”anything to achieve fitness.Besides,people understand exercise is good for them.Knowledge about exercise still doesnt motivate.

19、Before you can answer why,it helps to look at history.Before the Industrial Revolution,people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to.But then technology made life and work easier.Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for.“Its a fundamental instinct to avoid

20、 physical activity when its neither necessary nor rewarding,”he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary,but a doctors prescription to exercise“can make it like taking cod liver oil,”Lieberman says.“Sometimes it works,but more often than not,it doesnt.And its still coming acr

21、oss as an order,and“not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,”says Dr.Beth Frates,assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because its never been enjoyable.Most of us probably have memories of gym class,not being picked for a team,or b

22、eing in a fitness center thats filled with in-shape people.The majority dont feel excited.They feel that exercise isnt for them,but it can be.Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise.It starts with an expanded definition of what count

23、s as exercise,and an injection of whats rarely used to describe exercise,but is certainly allowed:namely,fun.8.What does the underlined“this”in paragraph 1 refer to?A.The magazine.B.The tradition.C.The equipment.D.The message.9.What can we infer about technology?A.It improves life quality.B.It saves

24、 peoples time.C.It drives social progress.D.It makes exercise less likely.10.Why does the author mention“cod liver oil”in paragraph 4?A.To attach importance to health.B.To present a doctors prescription.C.To explain exercise is considered inessential.D.To introduce the latest medical application.11.

25、What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Exercise should be made more joyful.B.Its more fun to work out with others.C.We may encounter bad workout experiences.D.Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.D The common use of Google Maps,a navigation(导航)app on smartphones,raises the age-old

26、question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing?But also,crucially:What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps.For example,they may mess up the direction of north an

27、d south,and you can see only a small section at a time.But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me.Despite being a frequent traveler,Im so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.What se

28、ems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set.There is nothing natural about them.In many developed nations,street names and house numbers are meaningful,and instructions such as“go north f

29、or three blocks and then west”usually make sense.In Istanbul,in contrast,where I grew up,none of those hold true.For one thing,the locals rarely use street names,and house numbers often arentsequentialeither because after buildings 1,2 and 3 were built,someone squeezed in another house between 1 and

30、 2,and now thats 4.But then 5 will maybe get built after 3,and 6 will be between 2 and 3.Besides,the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones.Therefore,instructions as simple as“go north”would require a helicopter.I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps,I tr

31、avel with a lot more confidence,and my world has opened up.And because I go to more places more confidently,I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved,too.That brings me back to my original question:while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology,this new

32、setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently.Maybe when technology closes a door,we should also look for the doors it opens.12.How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing.B.Unnecessary.C.Complicated.D.Helpful.13.Which contributes to the difficulty o

33、f finding ways in Istanbul?A.Strange street names.B.Ordinary paper maps.C.Complex road arrangements.D.Lack of road instructions.14.What does the underlined word“sequential”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.In a fixed order.B.In good condition.C.Of great importance.D.Of the same kind.15.What column of a

34、 newspaper may this passage belong to?A.Fashion.B.Opinion.C.Society.D.Geography.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 What do you imagine when you think of a forest?You probably imagine a vast area of land covered with trees.But as many traditional forests are destroye
