20、y beautiful. Most parks were declared parks to preserve the wild beauty that makes them so amazing. While nearly all these protected areas are pretty, a number are simply (26) in their beauty. Snowdonia National Park is one of them. (27) by the name, Snowdonia National Park is set on Snowdon Mountai
21、n. The mountain is 3,560 feet tall and as (28) as it is peaceful. Lakes and rivers are set amid trees and rocky outcroppings, making it the perfect place to practice (29) . Visitors will also find old buildings, including several castles within park (30) . The history of the area is full of folk tal
22、es and legends and makes it an even more exciting place to visit.In 1951, the Park was (31) the 3rd National Park in Great Britain, after the Peak District and the Lake District. The Park covers 2,140 km2 (827 square miles), and has 60km (37 miles) of (32) . The natural forests of the Park are of th
23、e mixed deciduous type. The Welsh Oak, ash, birch, hazel and mountain-ash are the most common trees. Over 26,000 people live within the Snowdonia National Park, of whom (33) 62% can speak some Welsh. Every year Snowdonia National Park attracts more than 6 million visitors, making it the 3rd most (34
24、) National Park in Wales and England. If you are a (35) , Snowdonia National Park is the perfect place to visit.(分数:71.00)填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数:0,分数:0.00)十、Section A(总题数:1,分数:35.50)That health and beauty are linked is not in do
25、ubt. But it comes as something of a surprise that who is (36) as beautiful depends not only on the health of a person but also on the average level of health in the place where she lives. This, though, is the conclusion of a study just published in Biology Letters by Urszula Marcinkowska of the Univ
26、ersity of Turku, in Finland, and her (37) for Ms. Macink0wska has found that men in healthy countries think women with the most (38) face are the prettiest whilst those in unhealthy places prefer more masculine-looking ones.Ms Marcinkowska came to this conclusion by showing nearly 2,000 men from 28
27、countries various versions of the same female faces, (39) to look less or more feminine and thus (40) the effect of different levels of oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen promotes (41) , such as large eyes and full lips, that are (42) feminine. Testosterone promotes (43) features, such as wide fa
28、ces and strong chins.Previous studies have shown that women with feminine features are more fertile. A mans (44) for them is thus likely to enhance his reproductive success. Ms Marcinkowska speculates that testosterone-induced behavioral characteristics like (45) , which might be expected to correla
29、te with masculine-looking faces even in women (they certainly do in men), help in the competition for resources needed to sustain children once they are born. But why that should be particularly important in an unhealthy country is unclear.A. features B. refined C. feminine D. favorable E. modifiedF

After being diag
31、nosed with brain and lung cancer in 2011, Lynn Mitchell, 68, was averaging about an hour of solid sleep a night. Stressed about her treatments, she was paying for it in hours of lost sleep.B. The brain cancer was already affecting her mobilityMitchell was often dizzy and would lose her balancebut th
32、e lack of sleep made things worse. Even walking became increasingly difficult. Exhausted in the mornings, she was practically incoherent (精神恍惚). When her doctors recommend she see a sleep therapist, Mitchell was relieved at how benign it sounded in comparison to the chemotherapy (化学疗法) she had under
33、gone and the gene therapy trial she was undergoing, which had side effects like nausea and fatigue.C. For about nine weeks, Mitchell worked with the sleep therapist to adjust her sleep habits. She went to bed only when she was extremely tired. She quit watching TV in bed. She stopped drinking caffei
34、nated (含咖啡因的) coffee in the evening. She also learned breathing exercises to relax and help her fall asleep. It was all quite simple and common sense, and most importantly, noninvasive and didnt require taking any pills.D. “Its common knowledge that sleep is needed for day to day function,“ says Dr.
35、 David Rapoport, director of the Sleep Medicine Program at NYU School of Medicine. “What isnt common knowledge is that it really mattersits not just cosmetic.“ Rapoport has long seen people seek sleep therapy because theyre chronically tired or suffering from insomnia, but an increasing number of pa
36、tients are being referred to his center for common diseases, disorders, and mental health.E. Researchers have known for some time that sleep is critical for weight maintenance and hormone balance. And too little sleep is linked to everything from diabetes (糖尿病) to heart disease to depression. Recent
37、ly, mounting evidence indicates that sleep plays a role in nearly every aspect of health. Beyond chronic illnesses, a childs behavioral problems at school could be rooted in mild sleep apnea (呼吸暂停). And studies have shown children with ADHD (注意力缺陷多动症) are more likely to get insufficient sleep. A rec
38、ent study published in the journal SLEEP found a link between older men with poor sleep quality and cognitive decline. Another study shows sleep is essential in early childhood for development, learning, and the formation and retention of memories.F. But to many of us, sleep is easily sacrificed, es
39、pecially since lack of it isnt seen as life threatening. Over time, sleep deprivation can have serious consequences, but we mostly sacrifice a night of sleep here and there, and always say that well “catch up.“ Luckily, it is possible to make up for sleep debt (though it can take a very long time),
40、but most Americans are still chronically sleep deprived.G. While diet and exercise have been a part of public health messaging for decades, doctors and health advocates are now beginning to argue that getting quality sleep may be just as important for overall health. “Sleep is probably easier to cha
41、nge than diet or exercise,“ says Dr. Michael Grandner, a sleep researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. “It may also give you more of an immediate reward if it helps you get through your day.“ Sleep experts claim that it is one of the top three, and sometimes the most, important lifestyle adjus
42、tments one can make, in addition to diet and exercise. And while theres more evidence linking diet and exercise as influential health factors, sleep is probably more important in terms of brain and hormonal function. “Among a small group of sleep researchers, its always been said that eating, exerci
43、se, and sleep are the three pillars of health,“ says Dr. Rapoport.H. In our increasingly professional and digital lives, carving out time for sleep is not only increasingly difficult, but also more necessary. Using technology before bed stimulates us and interferes with our sleep, yet 95% of America
44、ns use some type of electronics like a computer, TV, or cell phone at least a few nights a week within the hour before we go to bed, according to a 2011 National Sleep Foundation survey. “Many doctors, lawyers, and executives stay up late and get up early and bum the candle at both ends,“ says Dr. R
45、ichard Lang, chair of Preventative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. “Making sure they pay attention to sleep in the same way they pay attention to diet and exercise is crucial.“I. To some, sleep has become a powerful cure to mental health. Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the Hu
46、ffington Post Media Group, advocates that sleep is the secret to success, happiness, and peak performance. After passing out a few years ago from exhaustion and cracking a cheekbone against her desk, Huffington has become something of a sleep evangelist (传道者). In a 2010 TED Women conference, Huffing
47、ton said, “The way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep.“ Research linking high-quality sleep with better mental health is growing; a 2013 study found that treating depressed patients for insomnia can double their likelihood of overcoming the disorder.J. Whil
48、e 70% of physicians agree that inadequate sleep is a major health problem, only 43% counsel their patients on the benefits of adequate sleep. But theres growing pressure on primary care physicians to address, and even prescribe, sleep during routine check-ups. In a recent study published in the journal The Lancet Diabetes Endocrinology, the researchers concluded that health professionals should prescribe sleep to prevent and treat met
