If going on vacation and taking time off from your usual workouts fills you with
panic, don't fear. A training break can actually boost your fitness progress, according to
Luke Worthington, a personal trainer.
He told Insider that it's actually when we're resting that we make gains.
“Something that not every exercise enthusiast realizes is that we don't get fitter,
stronger, lose body fat, or build muscle while we train，” he said. “All of those things
happen in the time when we recover in between workouts, and most of those things
actually happen when we sleep.”
“When we work out, we cause damage to both our bodies and our nervous
systems. When we rest, our bodies repair themselves and get stronger so we can deal
with that stress better next time，” Worthington said.
“If we have been working out regularly and effectively, then taking a planned
break while on holiday can actually be one of the most physiologically beneficial things
we can do，” he said.
However, if you've been exercising sporadically and struggling to get into a routine,
a break may disrupt your rhythm. In that case, working some movement into your
vacation may be beneficial for creating healthy habits.
While physiologically taking a break from training is “nothing to worry about，”
according to Worthington, keeping active can be a good idea for your mental health.
Some people benefit psychologically from a break, but others can benefit from
adding some movement to a vacation. Worthington recommends sticking to low
intensity steady state exercise, like walking or swimming, to gain the mental rewards
while also giving your body a chance to recover.
“If you can't talk while doing your exercise, it's too intense，” Worthington said,
and he advises doing no longer than 40minute sessions.
“If your main reason for exercise is physical fitness, don't worry about it！”
Worthington said. “If your main reason for exercise is emotional well-being, then don't
set yourself back by taking an enforced break, but do dial it back to lower intensity
work to allow you to physically rest, but still maintain your wellbeing.”
24. What's Worthington's opinion on working out during vacation?
A. Ambiguous. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Supportive.
25. What does the underlined word mean?
A. Consistently. B. Regularly. C. Severely. D. Occasionally.
26. What's Worthington's advice on taking exercise?
A. Taking exercise with low intensity regularly.
B. Forming the habit of taking intense exercise.
C. Taking a physical rest for your mental health.
D. Adding outdoor activities to the working out list.
27. What's the best title of this article?
A. Time off can be great for muscle gains
B. How to keep healthy while on vacation
C. Frequent rest helps you maintain fitness
D. The benefit of working out during holiday

Catching nearly 4,000 wild butterflies with handheld nets and taking the
temperature of each tiny insect must rank among the harder of scientific efforts.
However, researchers have discovered significant differences in the ability of
British butterflies to maintain a suitable temperature, raising fears that global heating
will threaten the populations of some species.
Butterflies are ectotherms-unable to generate their own body heat-and require
warm temperatures to fly. However, extreme temperatures can pose problems,
particularly for those butterflies that must find shady habitats to regulate (调节) their
body temperature.
The study shows that larger, paler butterflies are best able to protect themselves
from extreme temperatures, changing the angles of their reflective wings in relation to
the sun to direct heat away from or on to their bodies. Darker, large species have
greater difficulty controlling their body temperature, but even they are better than
“thermal specialists”, which rely on finding a spot at a specific temperature in a
landscape-a “microclimate”-to control their body temperature.
“After being caught in butterfly nets on British nature reserves, the 29 different
species of butterflies’ temperatures were taken with a fine probe. As we plan
conservation measures to address the effects of climate change, it will be important to
understand not only the habitat requirements of different butterfly species, but also
their temperature requirements,” said Dr Ed Turner, of the University Museum of
Zoology, Cambridge, who led the work. “With this new understanding of butterflies,
we should be able to better manage habitats and landscapes to protect them, and in
doing so we’re probably also protecting other insects too.”
28．Why did scientists take the temperatures of butterflies?
A．To seek solutions to global heating.
B．To uncover climate threats to them.
C．To classify them into different species.
D．To stress the toughness of scientific research.
29．How do larger, paler butterflies regulate their temperature?
A．By angling their wings.
B．By generating the body heat.
C．By choosing a microclimate.
D．By making use of their colour.
30．On what basis do butterflies seek specific locations?
A．Finding a nature reserve.
B．Attracting other butterflies.
C．Adapting to climate change.
D．Perceiving the surroundings.
31．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Understanding butterflies should be strengthened.
B．Better management of butterfly habitats is popular.
C．Protecting butterflies can lead to additional benefits.
D．Goals of protecting butterflies have been achieved.
D
Volcanoes are creators and destroyers. They can shape lands and cultures, but can
also cause great destruction and loss of life. Two of the best-known examples are found
at opposite ends of the world, on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Mount Fuji is a sacred site. Japan’s native religion considers Fuji a holy place.
Other people believe the mountain and its waters have the power to make a sick person
well. For many, climbing Fuji is also a rite (仪式) of passage. Some do it as part of a
religious journey; for others, it is a test of strength. Whatever the reasons, reaching the
top in order to stand on Fuji’s summit (山峰) at sunrise is a must for many Japanese.
Fuji is more than a sacred site and tourist destination, however. It is also an active
volcano and sits just 112 kilometers from the crowded streets of Tokyo. The last time
Fuji erupted, in1707, it sent out a cloud of ash that covered the capital city and darkened
the skies for weeks. There has been an increase in activity under Fuji recently. Locals
living near Fuji hold special festivals each year to offer gifts to the goddess of the
volcano—as they have for generations—so that she will not erupt and destroy the land
and its people below.
Halfway across the globe from Fuji, El Popo one of the world’s tallest and most
dangerous active volcanoes—stands just 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City.
Although the volcano has erupted many times over the centuries, scientists believe its
last great eruption occurred around AD 820. In recent years, El Popo is once again
threatening the lives of the people near the mountain; in December 2000, almost 26,000
people were evacuated when El Popo started to send out ash and smoke.
For many people living near El Popo—especially farmers—abandoning their land
is unthinkable. As anyone who farms near a volcano knows, the world’s richest soils
are volcanic. They produce bananas and coffee in Central America, fine wines in
California, and enormous amounts of rice in Indonesia.
Today, many people continue to see El Popo as their ancestors did. Carrying food
and gifts for the volcano, they hike up the mountain. Near the summit, they present their
offerings, asking the volcano to protect and provide for one more season.
32. The author think of the volcanoes as creators because they ________.
A. make sick people recover B. enable people to be strong
C. provide beliefs and rich lands D. offer protection for the locals
33. The author mainly talks about ________ in Paragraph 2.
A. the beautiful scenery B. the religious visitors
C. reasons for climbing Mount Fuji D. the power of Mount Fuji
34. What does the word “They” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. local farmers B. volcanic soils
C. active volcanoes D. Mexican ancestors
35. What can we learn about El Popo?
A. It’s the tallest and most active volcano.
B. It erupted powerfully in December 2000.
C. People treat El Popo with awe.
D. People climb the mountain for cure.

Our body manages and requires sleep in much the same way that it controls the
need for eating, drinking, and breathing. Much research has been done on the effects
of sleep. These studies have repeatedly shown that sleep plays a vital role in
promoting physical health. 36．____It helps maintain our body's ideal weight, and
reduce stress as well as the chance of mood disorders. This increases our length of life
and emotional well-being.
It also explains why after a good night' s sleep, you feel better, your thoughts are
clearer, and your emotions are less fragile. Without enough sleep, your judgment and
ability to learn are weakened.
Studies support that people who get the appropriate amount of sleep on-a-regular
basis tend to live longer and have healthier lives. 37．__As a matter of fact, studies
have shown that driving while sleep-deprived(不足的）is similar to drunk driving.
If we just got proper rest, maybe there would be less conflict in the world and
happier people. For some reason , in society, sleep is not high on the priority list, and
it is not valued. Instead, it is looked on as a luxury and not a necessity. Why?38．_
In fact, many judge harshly(严厉地）and make people feel guilty for their sleep
requirement . People who say “you can sleep when you are dead” need to get on the
clue bus. Your body you exactly what it needs. 39．__Yet some people choose to
take medicine to keep themselves to go through the day, unable to function naturally
due to lack of proper rest.
40．_Listen to your body, not other people's opinion of what your body needs. If
your body tells you that need to take a nap, then by all means take a nap.
A. And nobody else can do that for you.
B. It is seen as a form of laziness or weakness.
C. Scientists have gone to great lengths to fully understand sleep’s benefit.
D. This stresses the importance of having adequate sleep.
E. We also know that exercise has a great impact upon sleep.
F. Each person is different and requires varying amounts of sleep.
G. It keeps our heart healthy and lowers our chances of developing disease.

understand not only the habitat requirements of different butterfly species, but also
their temperature requirements,” said Dr Ed Turner, of the University Museum of
Zoology, Cambridge, who led the work. “With this new understanding of butterflies,
we should be able to better manage habitats and landscapes to protect them, and in
doing so we’re probably also protecting other insects too.”

A．To seek solutions to global heating.
B．To uncover climate threats to them.
C．To classify them into different species.

Volcanoes are creators and destroyers. They can shape lands and cultures, but can
also cause great destruction and loss of life. Two of the best-known examples are found
at opposite ends of the world, on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Mount Fuji is a sacred site. Japan’s native religion considers Fuji a holy place.
Other people believe the mountain and its waters have the power to make a sick person
well. For many, climbing Fuji is also a rite (仪式) of passage. Some do it as part of a
religious journey; for others, it is a test of strength. Whatever the reasons, reaching the
top in order to stand on Fuji’s summit (山峰) at sunrise is a must for many Japanese.
Fuji is more than a sacred site and tourist destination, however. It is also an active
volcano and sits just 112 kilometers from the crowded streets of Tokyo. The last time
Fuji erupted, in1707, it sent out a cloud of ash that covered the capital city and darkened
the skies for weeks. There has been an increase in activity under Fuji recently. Locals
living near Fuji hold special festivals each year to offer gifts to the goddess of the
volcano—as they have for generations—so that she will not erupt and destroy the land
and its people below.
Halfway across the globe from Fuji, El Popo one of the world’s tallest and most
dangerous active volcanoes—stands just 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City.
Although the volcano has erupted many times over the centuries, scientists believe its
last great eruption occurred around AD 820. In recent years, El Popo is once again
threatening the lives of the people near the mountain; in December 2000, almost 26,000
people were evacuated when El Popo started to send out ash and smoke.
For many people living near El Popo—especially farmers—abandoning their land
is unthinkable. As anyone who farms near a volcano knows, the world’s richest soils
are volcanic. They produce bananas and coffee in Central America, fine wines in
California, and enormous amounts of rice in Indonesia.
Today, many people continue to see El Popo as their ancestors did. Carrying food
and gifts for the volcano, they hike up the mountain. Near the summit, they present their
offerings, asking the volcano to protect and provide for one more season.
32. The author think of the volcanoes as creators because they ________.
A. make sick people recover B. enable people to be strong
C. provide beliefs and rich lands D. offer protection for the locals
33. The author mainly talks about ________ in Paragraph 2.
A. the beautiful scenery B. the religious visitors
C. reasons for climbing Mount Fuji D. the power of Mount Fuji
34. What does the word “They” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. local farmers B. volcanic soils
C. active volcanoes D. Mexican ancestors
35. What can we learn about El Popo?
A. It’s the tallest and most active volcano.
B. It erupted powerfully in December 2000.
C. People treat El Popo with awe.
D. People climb the mountain for cure.

Our body manages and requires sleep in much the same way that it controls the
need for eating, drinking, and breathing. Much research has been done on the effects
of sleep. These studies have repeatedly shown that sleep plays a vital role in
promoting physical health. 36．____It helps maintain our body's ideal weight, and
reduce stress as well as the chance of mood disorders. This increases our length of life
and emotional well-being.

clearer, and your emotions are less fragile. Without enough sleep, your judgment and
ability to learn are weakened.

basis tend to live longer and have healthier lives. 37．__As a matter of fact, studies
have shown that driving while sleep-deprived(不足的）is similar to drunk driving.
If we just got proper rest, maybe there would be less conflict in the world and
happier people. For some reason , in society, sleep is not high on the priority list, and
it is not valued. Instead, it is looked on as a luxury and not a necessity. Why?38．_
In fact, many judge harshly(严厉地）and make people feel guilty for their sleep
requirement . People who say “you can sleep when you are dead” need to get on the
clue bus. Your body you exactly what it needs. 39．__Yet some people choose to
take medicine to keep themselves to go through the day, unable to function naturally
due to lack of proper rest.
40．_Listen to your body, not other people's opinion of what your body needs. If
