Lack of time, motivation, and resources arecommon barriers. However, with a bit of planning and commitment, it is possible to find ways to integr ate exercise into one’s life, whether it’s joining a gym, participating in community sports, or simply taking a daily walk.Questions:1.What are some of the physical benefits of regular exercise mentioned in the passage?A) Maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, and strengthening muscles and bones.B) Reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.C) Enhancing overall well-being and improving cognitive function.D) Increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels.2.According to the passage, how does exercise affect mental health?A) It improves cardiovascular health but has no effect on mental health.B) It can significantly improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.C) It strengthens muscles and bones but does not enhance overall well-being.D) It increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels but does not have a direct impact on mental health.3.What are some of the social benefits of exercise mentioned in the passage?A) It provides a sense of belonging and camaraderie through group sports and fitness classes.B) It encourages social interaction and can help build community.C) It helps maintain a healthy weight and improves cognitive function.D) It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression but does not have any social benefits.Answers:1.A) Maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, and strengthening muscles and bones.2.B) It can significantly improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.3.B) It encourages social interaction and can help build community.三、完型填空（15分）Passage for Cloze Test:In the small town of Greenfield, the local library was a beloved community hub.

One of the most enduring legacies of the Egyptians is their incredible architectural achievements, such as the pyramids of Giza.The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, was the largest and oldest of the three pyramids at Giza. It was built around 2560 BC and took approximately 20 years to complete. The pyramid was built using large limestone blocks, each weighing about 2.5 tons. The Egyptians used a method called the “corbelled vault” to build the pyramid’s interior, which was a revolutionary technique at the time.The construction of the pyramids was a massive undertaking that required a vast workforce. It is estimated that over 20,000 workers were involved in the construction, including skilled laborers, engineers, and artists. The workers were organized into teams, each responsible for a specific task. The ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife and the importance of preserving their bodies for the journey to the afterworld. This belief was reflected in their elaborate burials, with the pharaohs being buried in the grand pyramids.Questions:1.What was the main advantage the ancient Egyptians had from living along the Nile River?A. They had access to abundant metals for tools.B. The Nile provided them with fertile soil for farming.C. The Nile helped them develop advanced writing systems.D. They were able to trade easily with neighboring civilizations.2.What architectural technique did the Egyptians use to build the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza?A. The use of archesB.
