As one of the most popular approaches of losing weight, how does it work? For example, if you burn 2,500 calories per day but only eat 2,000，you have created a deficit of 500 calories per day. There is mathematical certainty. But, this by no means tells the whole story about how calories deficit affects our lives. Before wondering what a calorie deficit is, its probably best to learn what a calorie is. A calorie is a unit that we use to track our bodys energy expenditure (消耗) and storage. In order to just stay alive, human beings (and animals) burn calories. This means, even before we perform any activity, our bodies are already using energy (measured in calories) to keep us alive. Around 70% of the calories we consume are spent on just keeping our vital organs running. Thus, if a person consumes calories far more less than needed to look thin，it may have negative effects on the body. When people pick up a calorie deficit, they often merely note that the calorie math is irrefutable (无可辩驳的). The question here is that not all calories are the same. If you eat a few bags of potato chip worth of calories to support the calorie intake needed to maintain or cut down on your weight, it will work. But, this doesnt have the same effect on your body and overall health as a balanced nutritional meal containing the same amount of calories. It seems like a simple unit of energy has become an object of our societys obsession. It neednt be that way. Remember, calorie deficits are just a tool, which serves a purpose in losing some weight and keeping track of your calorie intake seems simple enough. 24What do we know about the calorie deficit? AIt helps people lose weight. BIt is a way of doing exercises. CIt affects peoples lives positively. DIt means the calories people consume. 25Which of the following statements can be learned in Paragraph 2? AA calorie is a unit to store daily energy. BPeople need to burn calories to be alive. CCalorie intake is to keep our organs operating. DLiving animals only burn calories after activities. 26What is suggested for people to lose weight healthily? AFocusing on the calorie math when eating. BFocusing on different calories when eating. CHaving bags of potato chips containing enough calories. DHaving balanced nutritional diets containing proper calories. 27What is the text mainly about? AInfluences of calorie deficits.BApproaches to lose weight. CDistinctions between calories.DWays to track calorie intake. C Honeybees cant swim, and when their wings are wet, they cant fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward landlike surfers who create and then ride their own waves. As with many scientific advancesIsaac Newtons apple or Benjamin Franklins lightning boltDr. Rohs experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltechs Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the waters surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water. Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bees bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. Its a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity. The researchers said the surf-like movement hasnt been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs for propulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted. Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you cant send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said. 28What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin? ARohs admiration for them.BRohs chance discovery about bees. CTheir outstanding talent for science. DTheir similar achievements in discovery. 29What plays the most vital role in a bees moving forward on water? AThe air weight.BIts leg extension. CThe water movement.DIts continuous wingbeat. 30What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean? AFast flight.BDriving force.CPulling speed.DExplosive power. 31What does the text mainly tell us? AHoneybees can surf to safety.BBees help scientists make inventions. CInsects can adapt to the environment. DNature is a helpful guide for discovery. D Like all cultural institutions, galleries and art fairs are adapting to a new reality. Art Basel Hong Kong, Asias biggest contemporary-art fair, was cancelled because of COVID-19, but anyone he who had planned to visit last week could enjoy an experimental alternative：the viewing room. At the click of a keyboard you could enter an overall view but private visual salon, without having to brave the airless Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. There, on one webpage, was Jeff Koons riffing(翻唱)on Botticellis “Primavera” in a tribute to the history of painting at David Zwirner Gallery. Ota Fine Arts offered one collector the chance to acquire an “infinity(无限)room”, one of the most Instagrammed artworks of recent yearsthe creation of the fantasies, nonagenarian (九十多岁) Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. White Cube presented a large collection of international works by Andreas Gursky (German), Theaster Gates (American) and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazilian). But not every artist, gallery and form showed to equal advantage in this alternative fair. Not surprisingly, simple two-dimensional works in bright colours came across best No sculpture or conceptual art was included. Besides depth and texture, there are aspects of gallery hopping that a website is unlikely to copy. One is serendipity the sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. Another is sociability. Art is a communion between artist and viewer, but galleries and fairs are also places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms. There are ways to compensate or these inevitable(不可避免的)disadvantages. As they shut their physical doors, some of the worlds nest galleries and museums are offering advanced interactive visits, 360 degree videos and walk around tours of their collections, all without queues and high ticket prices. One of the best is laid on by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam; its tour allows visitors to view its Vermeers and Rembrandts, including the magnicent “Night Watch”, far more closely than would normally he possible. Another standout offering is from the Museu de Arte de SPaulo, which has an even broader collection. On its virtual platform, its pain tings, spanning 700 years, appear to be hanging in an open-plan space, seemingly hung on glass panels, or “crystal easels” as the museum calls them, ideal for close-up inspection, 32From the paragraph 3, we may know . A“Primavera” was originally painted by JeKoons B“infinity room” was the most popular artworks of recent years on social media CWhite Cube displayed a great many works by artists from different nations Dvarious paintings and statues showed on the webpage are well-received 33What does the underlined word “serendipity” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? Asurprise.Btreasure.Cexpectation.Dcompromise. 34What is the purpose of writing the last paragraph? ATo introduce some popular art show in the world. BTo show that there are some alternative ways to promote the display during COVID -19 epidemic. CTo prove that paintings hung on glass panels can be ideal for close-up inspection, DTo release some information about some extraordinary art shows. 35What is the best title? AArt beyond the internet.BFascinating art. CArt under COVID -19.Dgallery hopping 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。 Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? 36 , but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable. 37 . If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right? 38 . But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he is admiring her. In fact, continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express. However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener is attentive. 39 , as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40 . Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship betwe
