阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D），中选出最佳选项。
A
I read the same novel in paperback and on the iPad.
One thing I love about e-books on the iPad is the in-text dictionary look-up feature. This is something the iPad will always have as an advantage over traditional paperbacks. I sometimes come across a word I don't know while reading. It's much handier to be able to look up the word on the same screen as the text than to have to grab a dictionary or my iPhone to look it up while I am reading a paperback.
However, when it comes to actually reading the book, the iPad’s advantages as a medium for reading begin to pale. The iPad is relatively heavy in my hands and the swiping and tapping to turn a page soon become boring. Another big issue I have with the iPad is that I always find myself trying to get away to check an e-mail, explore the web, or look for another book on the iBook store. Living in London, as most people do, I take the tube, or the subway. Forget about resting your iPad on your lap to read, because your knees get bumped too much from constant flow of people entering and leaving the train. Your only option is to “seize” your iPad in your hands. This is where a huge drawback of the iPad becomes apparent. When I read a paperback on the subway, not once will I worry about my paperback. A $7 paperback book is a pretty low target for a thief. A $500 iPad, on the other hand, is a prime theft material. The reading experience goes down dramatically when you have to keep an eye on the people walking past you.
After finishing my reading of the novel on both mediums —the iPad and the paperback — I am more convinced than ever that the iPad and its iBookstore will not replace traditional print

B. Not rude. C. Fashionable.
editions. Unlike MP3s that replaced CDs，the original medium for the novel is still the superior one in both form and functions. I use iBookstore now to browse for books and use the “Get Sample” feature to explore the first few chapters. If I like what I read, I'll purchase the print edition from Amazon or at my local bookseller.
21．Which of the following is the advantage of reading on the iPad? A. You can refer to a dictionary by iPhone or on the Internet. B. The built-in dictionary makes looking up words convenient.
C. By comparison, the iPad is heavier than a paperback book. D. An iPad is so valuable that it is easy to be stolen by thieves.
22．The writer prefers to read a paperback book mainly because it offers ___________．
A. a replacement of the iPad
C. the “Get Sample” feature
B a greater sense of belonging D. . better experiences and functions
23．According to the text, the writer may find iBookstore ___________．
A.valuable
B. helpful
C. limited
D. traditional
B
Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.
The US Department of Health and Human Services suggests that young people aged between 6 and 17 carry out at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, 7 hours a week. But researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for developing good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland.
All participants(参与者) were asked to answer questions regarding height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed using the World Health Organization(WHO) Well-Being Index, which provides scores between 0 and 25. Of the participants, 50.4% were male with a mean age of 17.95 years. Almost 9% of these males were overweight. The overall average well-being score of all participants was 17.
The researchers divided sports participation into low(0-3.5 hours a week), average(3.6-10.5 hours), high(10.6-17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have

well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average groups. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried out around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.
Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers.
The researchers note that their study emphasizes(强调) the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can inform guideline groups who produce suggestions on sports practice for teenagers. 24. How long should teens do sports a week according to researchers from Switzerland?
A. 60 minutes. A. important
B. 14 hours. B.harmful
C. 7 hours.
D. 17.5 hours.
D. painful
25. The underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph can be replaced by?
C. beneficial
26. What did the researchers find out?
A. Too much sport is less healthy than what is traditionally believed B. Both low and high sports participation help teenagers improve confidence. C.Very high activity groups tend to get higher well-being scores. D. Low sports participation is proved to be the cause of obesity. 27. What may physicians caring for teenagers’ health find from the study? A. The way to improve teenagers’ physical health.
B. The method of improving teenagers’ emotional well-being. C. The importance of checking teenagers’ level of sports practice. D. The necessity of producing suggestions on sports practice for teenagers.
C
A new study suggests that tiny organisms(有机体) living underground may store most of the carbon in Swedish forest floors. That’s a good thing for the environment: if the carbon remains hidden in the soil, then it’s not escaping into the atmosphere. There, it could lead to global warming.
These organisms, called mycorrhizal fungi(真根真菌), grow on tree roots. They provide trees with nutrients in order to get their sugars, which contain carbon.
Scientists had long believed that most of the carbon sits above ground. But the new study suggests most carbon is trapped in the soil. Carbon is a building block of every living organism,
