The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before.Changes for the better，changes for the worse，changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings，changes that put man in danger.Many things caused the changes，but，in my opinion，the most important was the progress in science.
   Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views.It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe.It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development.Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
   The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings；in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning；in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits，and better protection of the environment.
   Sadly，however，there is another side to the picture.The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet.We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons.Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War，the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used，the result could have been the ruin of the human race，as well as of many kinds of animals.
   William Shakespeare said，"The web of our life is of a mingled yarn（紗線），good and ill together."The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science—seems to prove what Shakespeare said.But does it have to be so？Must the ill always go together with the good？Are we biologically programmed for war？

（1）What can we infer from the fourth paragraph？
D
D

A．A great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war.
B．A large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war.
C．The author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons.
D．The author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the Earth.
（2）What does the underlined word "mingled" most probably mean？
B
B

A．Simple.
B．Mixed.
C．Sad.
D．Happy.
（3）What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write？
D
D

A．Further application of science to war.
B．More reading of William Shakespeare.
C．Improvement of science in the future.
D．Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.
（4）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？（①="Paragraph"1， ②="Paragraph"2， ③="Paragraph"3，④="Paragraph"4， ⑤="Paragraph"5）
A
A

A． B． C． D．

1．When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes，which should come first-changing your diet or becoming more physically active？
   Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging.That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually，and set smaller goals.
   So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were age 45 or older into four groups.One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time，the second group was taught about diet changes first，then fitness changes four months later，the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later，and the final，control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.
   The researchers tracked the groups for a full year.Compared to the control group，the three intervention（干預(yù)）groups made healthy changes in their diet.Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months.However，at the end of the year，the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels，while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year.The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.
   The findings show，however，that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives.If folks change diet and exercise orderly，the scientists say，they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.

（1）The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed

.
A．popular
B．dangerous
C．scientific
D．unsatisfactory
（2）Which group made progress earlier than other groups in increasing the amount of daily exercise？

A．The first group.
B．The second group.
C．The third group.
D．The control group.
（3）The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that

.
A．they might be very lazy
B．they wouldn't like to change their behavior
C．it is much harder to change physical activity
D．they might put on weight before changing their physical activity
（4）Which of the following does the author probably approve of？

A．Pairing diet and exercise changes.
B．Becoming more physically active first.
C．Changing diet and exercise following a fixed order.
D．Changing diet first and placing more importance on it.
