六、阅读理解
文章大意：本文是说明文。文章介绍了锻炼对患有抑郁症或焦虑症的人的心血管的益处。
13. Regular physical activity had nearly doubled cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits in individuals with depression or anxiety, compared with
individuals without these diagnoses, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.
The research findings add to mounting evidence that exercise improves cardiovascular health by helping to activate parts of the brain that counteract stress. Overall, the study found that people who achieved the recommended amount of physical activity per week were 17% less likely to suffer a major harmful cardiovascular event than those who exercised less. These benefits were significantly greater in those with anxiety or depression, who had a 22% risk reduction vs. a 10% risk reduction in those without either condition.
“The effect of physical activity on the brain’s stress response may be particularly relevant to those with stress-related mental conditions,” said Hadil Zureigat, MD, postdoctoral clinical research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and the study’s lead author. “This is not to suggest that exercise is only effective in those with depression or anxiety, but we found that these patients seem to get a greater cardiovascular benefit from physical activity.”
Rates of both depression and anxiety have risen during the outbreak of flu, and heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the US. The study findings underline the important role of exercise in maintaining heart health and reducing stress, according to the researchers.
“Any amount of exercise is helpful, particularly for those with depression or anxiety,” Zureigat said. “Not only will physical activity help them feel better, but they will also significantly reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. It can be hard to make the transition, but once achieved, physical activity allows those with these common chronic (慢性的) stress-related mental conditions to hit two birds with one stone.”
1. Who can get the most cardiovascular benefit from regular exercise?
A．Someone with little brain capacity.B．Someone with abnormal heart rates.
C．Someone diagnosed with depression.D．Someone with fear-related mental conditions.
2. What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Double.B．Resist.C．Awaken.D．Transport.
3. Which of the following may the findings support?
A．Physical exercise is vital to mental health.
B．Physical exercise can cure those people of flu.
C．Exercise merely works for those with depression.
D．Exercise accelerates the recovery of all mental patients.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A．Physical Activity Can Prevent Chronic Disease
B．Heart Disease Remains the Leading Cause of Death
C．Rates of Depression Have Risen During the Outbreak of Flu
D．Workout Is Very Good for Stress-related Patients’ Cardiovascular Health

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项科学家挑战水下空间生活的一项科学研究，介绍了其主要研究人、研究目的和开展过程与方式。
15. Joseph Dituri hasn’t seen the sun for days. And he won’t see it again for months. Since March 1, the bio-medical engineer has been underwater, with the goal of spending 100 days there—for science.
The underwater living, if successful, will also break the current world record for time spent living underwater, which was set by two Tennessee biologists in 2014 when they stayed beneath the surface for 73 days.
Dituri, who uses the nickname Dr. Deep Sea, is living in Jules’ Undersea Lodge (小屋) in Key Largo, Florida—the same underwater spot where the previous record was set. The 100-square-foot hotel, which sits 30 feet below the surface, is his intended home until June 9, where he’ll be carrying out research and giving virtual lectures for his students at the University of South Florida.
As part of this research, Dituri is researching the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for an extended period. To keep water from entering the lodge, air must constantly be pumped into the space, which creates a pressure about 1.6 times that of Earth’s surface.
“The human body has never been underwater that long, so I will be monitored closely,” Dituri says in a press release. “This study will examine every way this journey affects my body.” Before taking the dive, Dituri had psychosocial, psychological and medical tests. He will continue to have testing during and after his 100 days at the lodge. He’s also taking doses of Vitamin D and keeping regular psychological appointments.
Beyond research, the project is also a chance to promote ocean protection and encourage young scientists. “The oceans are in a bit of trouble―the coral reefs are under attack, and the fishing industry is collapsing,” Thane Milhoan, habitat operations manager for Jules’ Undersea Lodge, says in a video. “We wanted to make use of the attention that the 100-day mission would demand to inspire the youth, more so than anybody, to get involved and start taking action.”
1. What is the reason for Joseph Dituri’s living underwater?
A．To enjoy a unique hotel.B．To do scientific research.
C．To break the world record.D．To promote an undersea lodge.
2. How do the researchers keep water out of the lodge?
A．By pumping air into the lodge.B．By increasing the water pressure.
C．By changing the underwater spot.D．By extending the surface of the hotel.
3. Why is Dituri always taking tests?
A．To keep a positive mood.B．To adapt to the environment.
C．To see the effects of the study on him.D
．To examine the change of the surroundings.
4. What does the underlined word “collapsing” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Breaking down.B．Coming out.
C．Operating well.D．Growing fast.

16. “To explore further and to learn about the solar system we live in, we need to take advantage of what’s on the Moon, so we don’t have to take everything with us,” said Jacob Bleacher, the Chief Exploration Scientist supporting NASA’s Artemis program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Scientists at the University of Florida have made a breakthrough discovery — decades in the making — that could both enable further space exploration and benefit humanity. “Here we are, 50 years later, completing experiments that were started back in the Apollo labs,” said Robert Ferl, a professor of this university.
Arabidopsis, native to Africa, is a relative of vegetables like broccoli (西兰花). Due to its small size and ease of growth, it is one of the most studied plants in the world. Space scientists are doing research on how it grows in space.
To grow the Arabidopsis, the scientific team used samples collected on the Apollo 11, 12, and 17 missions, with only a gram of regolith (表土) from the Moon given to each plant. The team added water and then seeds to the samples. They then put them into boxes in a clean room. A nutrient solution was added daily. Every plant looked the same up until about day six. After day six, however, it was clear that the plants were not as energetic as the control group plants growing in volcanic ash, and the plants were growing differently depending on which type of sample they were in. The plants grew more slowly and had poor roots and leaves. After 20 days, just before the plants started to flower, the team harvested the plants and studied them.
