2.After months of expectation and secrecy,the official mascot (吉祥物) of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games-a giant panda-inspired cartoon character-made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
The panda is named "Bing Dwen Dwen" in Chinese.Bing means "ice" in Chinese,while Dwen Dwen suggests "health and cleverness"-characteristics also shared by jye.ai.Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China,organizers said.
"Pandas combine China's traditional culture and its modern appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image (形象) that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world," said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining,who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
"I have already seen the mascot and from what I've seen,it's a wonderful choice," IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. "The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people.It will be a great ambassador(大使)for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics."
The ring of light surrounding the mascot's face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks,as well as the flowing "ribbons" of the National Speed Skating Oval.The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games,according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018,when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots.A total of 5,816 designs were received from 35 countries,and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing,the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.

3.Eating a diet high in processed (加工的) food increases the risk of depression (沮喪抑郁),research suggests.What's more,people who ate plenty of vegetables,fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression,the University College London team found.
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later,a British journal reported.They split the participants(參與者)into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food,which includes lots of fruit,vegetables and fish,and those who ate a mainly processed food diet,such as sweetened desserts,fried food,processed meat,refined grains and high fat dairy products.After accounting for factors such as gender,age,education,physical activity,smoking habits and chronic diseases,they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most whole food had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least whole food.By contrast,people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.
Study author Dr Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.
"There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression,but the problem with that is if you live in Britain,the likelihood(可能性)of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high."
Dr Andrew Mcculloch,chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation,said,"this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health."
He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy.The UK population is consuming less nutritious,fresh produce and more saturated (含飽和脂肪酸的) fats and sugars.
(1)The text is mainly about
A.the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population
B.the link between processed food and depression
C.the relationship between physical and mental heal
D.a(chǎn) healthy diet largely based on whole food
(2)What do we know about the participants?
A.They are of different ages from young to old.
B.They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.
C.Most of them prefer whole food to processed food.
D.Those who ate whole food generally were happier in the long term.
(3)What can we learn from what Dr Archana SinghManoux said?
A.It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B.The Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world.
C.Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.
D.The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.
(4)Dr Andrew McCulloch agrees that
A.our diets are closely related to our mental health
B.the present study needs more facts and other information
C.the UK population will become ill in the near future
D.more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in
(5)Why might the author have written this text?
A.To tell people what a healthy diet actually is.
B.To prove people's diets are increasingly unhealthy.
C.To encourage people to cut down processed food.
D.To introduce some experts on the research team.組卷:14引用:2難度:0.6

9.A survey of more than 2,000 people living in the UK has found that those with a higher IQ are more likely to live a longer life.Researchers analysed data from the Scottish Mental Surveys—in which almost every 11 yearold in Scotland was given the same IQ test on the same day in 1932—and tracked the participants' lives up to when they passed away.Even when factors such as economic status and employment level were accounted for,the smarter kids ended up living longer than those with lower IQs.These results correlate to several previous studies that have found a link between IQ and mortality(死亡率) when other factors were filtered out.
We don't yet understand why this is the case,but there are some interesting hypotheses(假設(shè)):one is that intelligent people are more likely to strap themselves in while driving,choose to eat a healthy diet,avoid smoking,and exercise more often.Whalley and Deary found that those with a higher IQ were more likely to quit smoking after its negative health effects were published in the 1950s.In other words,smart people might just be better at avoiding things that are going to kill them.
Another hypothesis is that a high IQ is a signifier of a sturdy(強壯的) constitution and a body that's going to last—it's essentially a signifier rather than a cause,some scientists believe.One study published in 2005 found that better reaction times specifically helped people live longer—so a high IQ is possibly an indication of an efficient nervous system,rather than being itself a cause of longer life,the researchers proposed.
It's a complicated area of science,particularly as an IQ score doesn't necessarily directly represent intelligence,and can be affected by social class,education standards,and other cultural factors.Nevertheless,the link is there—and researchers are still trying to find out why.組卷:3引用:1難度:0.4
