Passage One

Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage

When Beverly Goodman was in elementagyschoo,she gave a series of presentations on her favorite topic: disasters. She told her classmates about some disasters in history, for instance, the Titanic. Today, at 45, she's a marime geoarchacologist (地理考古学家) who explores coastines for clues to erosion, past tsunamis (海啸), and other disasters.“It's funny now that I'm a disaster scientist, basically," she says.“It all came together."

Human settlements have long been built around access to water. Goodman studies how coastal change affected our ancestors: Were people forced to leave? Did they find innovative ways to adapt to the changes? This knowledge, she says, can help us“prepare responsibly for what this landscape is going to look like in the future." That was the case when Goodman and her team of scientists proved tsunamis had struck the coast of what is now Israel over the course of thousands of years.. Partly as a result of their research, the country in 2014 developed its first tsunami preparedness plan.

Humans are manipulating coastlines more dramatically than ever, says Goodman. To leam what effect this will have,“we need to be working faster, and we need more people working on it." She believes ancient clues buried underwater can save lives. particularly in places without written records.

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

One of the most common reasons why people don't succeed at introducing a permanent exercise habit in their lives is because their workouts are boring. They do the same things over and over again, and even if they work in the beginning, the body quickly adapts to them and stops responding to them in the same way as in the beginning.

When the effectiveness drops down and a person gets tired of doing the same things, the outcome is predictable: you no longer want to work out anymore.

That's why I'm so strongly against any kind of structured fitness classes at the gym that you attend because you think it's the only way to exercise.

Seek something enjoyable and exciting that won't feel like dreadful exercise. If you can't find it, keep looking until you do. Ultimately, it's the only way to successfully maintain an exercise habit in yourlife.

However, please note that even if you're doing something exciting, no matter now fantastic it is in the beginning, if you don't change your routine every now and then. it also might get boring. Mixing it up every now and then by focusing on a different aspect of the activity, doing it in a different place, with different intensity or with different people will boost your excitement, shock your body, andensunethat you'll stick to physical activity for the long haul.

A. people usually get bored of the same exercise

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Everyone knows that the average human body temperature is 37-C---but everyone is wrong. It turns out that the bodies of people in theUS have been cpoling since the 1860s.
