Deliberately making a road icy sounds like a method for disaster, but in 16th-century China it helped things run smoothly. Repairs to the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1557 called for huge stones from a quarry(采石場) more than 70 km away. The biggest was the 300-ton “Large Stone Carving.” Such stones were too heavy for any cart, and too fragile for rollers. The builders adopted a wise alternative approach to carry the heavy stone.

They dug a series of wells, spaced a few hundred metres apart, along the route to the quarry. Then, in the depth of winter, when temperatures reached around -4℃, buckets of water were poured on to the dirt track, transforming it into an ice road.

The stone blocks were pushed along the road on wooden sledges (雪橇). Modern engineers have calculated that it would take 1,500 workers to drag a sledge on the dirt road, but only 300 on ice. Ancient tests suggested the ice was made slippery with more water; this reduced the friction further and just 50 men could pull a sledge. This technique only works when the temperature is also close to zero, otherwise the film of water freezes too quickly.

The researchers at Princeton University estimated that the blocks could be moved at six metres a minute, and the journey could be completed in 28 days. This would be well before the spring when the ice would melt.

It was once suggested that similar ice-sledges transported Stonehenge stones, but the ground that had a lot of holes and comparatively mild conditions probably rule this out.

1.Why did people dig some wells along the road to the quarry?

A. They wanted to build frozen roads.

B. They wanted to break up large stones.

C. They wanted to make the dirty track clean.

D. They wanted to get a lot of holes on the road.

2.What did people do to reduce the friction?

A. They made stone blocks much smaller.

B. They poured more water on the ice road.

C. They waited until the temperature was very low.

D. They asked more than 1,500 workers to clean the dirty road.

3.How did the researchers at Princeton University think of Stonehenge stones?

A. They were not likely to be carried on the icy road.

B. They had a longer history than stones in Beijing.

C. They were carried for over twenty-eight days.

D. They were broken up in the depth of winter.

4.What does the author intend to tell us in the text?

A. Making a road slippery on purpose may be bad idea.

B. The mild weather helped to carry Stonehenge stones.

C. Stonehenge stones were too heavy to carry.

D. Ancient Chinese transported huge stones wisely.

Some unwelcome visitors from North America have been turning up in the waters off the coast of Great Britain.

North American lobsters (龍蝦) have been found in the North Sea (between Great Britain and Northwest Europe), far from their own habitat. The lobsters usually live along the eastern coast of Canada and the United States.

It is impossible that the lobsters could have made the 5,600-kilometre journey on their own. They were probably brought to Britain and then got away from containers. Some of the lobsters that were caught had elastic bands (松緊帶) holding their legs shut, like lobsters that are kept in containers in stores or restaurants.

Many may have been “set free” from some ships passing through the area. Sometimes passengers order a live lobster from a tank in the dining room and then ask the waiter to throw it overboard instead of cooking it.

According to official records, 26 North American lobsters have been caught in waters off Great Britain since 1988. However, it is believed many more have been found but not reported.

It is against the law to let North American lobsters come into British waters. If they settle down in European waters, it would be bad for the local lobsters. The two live in the same place and eat the same food. But North American lobsters are larger, stronger and more aggressive (好斗的) than European lobsters, and they produce young more quickly.

As a result, they could take food and space away from the local lobsters, and from other types of shellfish that live in the same area. These lobsters may also carry diseases that could harm the local lobsters.

1.Those unwelcome lobsters _____.

A. could travel 5,600 km a day on their own

B. used to live in waters off Great Britain

C. would soon disappear in British waters

D. might have escaped on the way to Britain

2.What can we learn about European lobsters?

A. They are growing too fast to be kept under control.

B. Shellfish often take away their food and space.

C. They are easily harmed by North American lobsters.

D. People become ill easily if they eat these lobsters.

3.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.

A. discuss B. report

C. advertise D. introduce

Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn the 150-minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people — particularly older individuals. And striving to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.

There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病) and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults recommend at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.

But in two separate articles in the BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary(久坐的) to make small incremental increases in their activity levels — rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of vigorous activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do no exercise.

In the second article, Prof Phillip Sparking of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice — particularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss "realistic options" to increase activity — such as getting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.

Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England, says: "Everyone needs to be active every day — short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions. "This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."

1.What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?

A. 10-minute exercise. B. 20-minute exercise.

C. 60-minute exercise. D. 150-minute exercise.

2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. A 10-minute exercise has little effect on the health.

B. Heart diseases happen easily to the old in activity.

C. Two-and-a-half hours of exercise is not necessary.

D. Inactivity easily brings about many serious diseases.

3.What is the suggestion of Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto according to the third paragraph?

A. People should spend less time on exercise.

B. People should lower their activity levels.

C. People should increase exercise properly.

D. People should achieve their current goals.

4.Which of the following is TRUE about current exercise guidelines?

A. They are impractical. B. They are reasonable.

C. They have no effect on us. D. They are popular with people.
