But they share another unexpected monality. In each munity, people are gardening well into old agetheir 80s, 90s and beyond.Could nurturing your green thumb help you live to 100?It is wellknown that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activity is linked to longer life, and gardening is an easy way to acplish both. “If you garden, youre getting some lowintensity physical activity most days, and you tend to work routinely，” says Buettner.He says there is evidence that gardeners live longer and are less stressed. A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.If gardening is good, is farming even better? Many of the lifestyle factors associated with longevitysuch as living in the country and getting lots of exerciseapply to farmers as well.Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations.However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a longer lifespan(壽命). But some of the lifestyle factors associated with bothnamely going outside, engaging in light physical activity and eating a healthy plantbased dietjust might.(B)24. What do the longlived people in the “blue zones” share?A. They all live well beyond 90.B. They keep on gardening.C. They only eat vegetables.D. They are very sociable.【解析】B。 從第二段最后一句“In each munity, people are gardening well into old agetheir 80s, 90s and beyond.”可知A錯誤、B正確，C太絕對，D文章未提及。(C)25. How does gardening possibly help live a longer life?A. By getting people working outside occasionally.B. By getting people involved in creative projects.C. By providing some appropriate physical activity.D. By supporting effective social networks.【解析】根據(jù)第四段第一句可知C正確，B未提及，A選項的occasionally不正確，D選項是對文中提到的social support networks的誤解。(D)26. What does the author conclude in the last paragraph?A. Farming will get more popular.B. Farming and gardening can ensure longevity.C. There is no connection between longevity and occupation.D. Physical activity and healthy eating count.【解析】選項A文中并未提及，選項B與文章意思相反，D正確，C選項太過絕對。(B)27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Secrets of LongevityB. Gardening Could Help You Live to 100C. Gardening and FarmingD. The Benefits of Gardening【解析】從全文來看，文章大意講的就是從事園藝對長壽有一定的好處，B正確。選項A只提了長壽，沒有涉及園藝，選項C未涉及長壽，選項D范圍過廣。CAlmost every day we e across situations where we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion(幻覺), a false idea created by panies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decisionmaking is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products e on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is puters, which are almost outofdate once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.(A)28. What does the author try to argue in the first paragraph?A. The practice of choice is difficult.B. Choice is a born right. C. Its easy to make choices.D. panies offer good shopping decisions. 【解析】 從第一段中“But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right.”可歸納出答案為A。(B)29. Which of the following is most likely to cause anxiety?A. Easy access to everyday goods.B. Too many choices.C. Misleading advertisements.D. Professional shopping advice.【解析】從第二段第一句可知無止境的選擇范圍導(dǎo)致人們在做出選擇時很焦慮，也就是說選擇的范圍太大。A選項是說很容易買到東西，而不是選擇范圍廣。(A)30. The example of puters is used to prove that_ A. updated products flood the marketB. hightech products are of poor qualityC. everyday goods need to be replacedD. advanced products are in demand【解析】電腦的例子出現(xiàn)在最后一段，本段topic sentence 是第一句話“It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products e on the market.”是說新型產(chǎn)品不斷沖擊市場，故選A。(C)31. What is this passage mainly about?A. The opinions on peoples right.B. The problems of the availability of daily goods. C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions. D. The variety of choices in modern society.【解析】縱觀全文及最后一句話“Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.”可以知道本文主要講述人們在購物時因為選擇太多而無法簡簡單單地進行選擇的現(xiàn)狀。DVertebrates(脊椎動物), human beings included, are constantly changing their skinproducing new layers of it as they slough_off old cells. Understanding this process of regeneration would help the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns. This week, a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Centre, in North Carolina, have announced a colourful new technique that should enhance such understanding. They call it the “skinbow”Skinbows are themselves an adaptation of an approach called a “brainbow”，which was invented almost a decade ago, and is used to label nerve cells different colours. Brainbow technology permits someone with an appropriate microscope to trace the connections that lots of individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of, say, a mouse.Dr Posss experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: the zebra fish. Skinbow or brainbow, though, the basic procedure is the same. Genetic engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes(基因組)contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet light(紫外線)These genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue typebrain for brainbows, skin for skinbows. In the case of skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 7080 such colours. Moreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury. When they cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin had regrown pletely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is likely to produce useful insights into the process of regenerationnot to mention the possibility of a nice little sideline(副業(yè)) in designing aquaria(水族館)(A)32. Which of the following best explains “slough off” underlined in Paragraph 1?A. Get rid of. B. Take advantage of.C. Adapt to. D. Rule out.【解析】根據(jù)前后句意可知，在脫落舊細胞時，不斷地產(chǎn)生皮膚的新層。(D)33. What can we know about the brainbow according to Paragraph 2?A. It is a colorful nerve cell.B. It was invented to trace the skinbow.C. It can speed up the adaptation of the skinbow.D. It helps detect connections between cells.【解析】從第二段可推出答案。(C)34. Where do the skinbow and the brainbow differ?A. In their principles.B. In their plexity.C. In their continuity in observation.D. In their practicality in reality.【解析】第四段第二、三句告知了兩者之間的區(qū)別?！癕oreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.”(D)35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The process of skin regeneration.B. The limitations of the skinbow.C. The prediction of a promising career.D. The possible applications of the skinbow.【解析】從最后一段可知，除了魚之外，這項技術(shù)可以擴展到觀察其他物種，包括哺乳動物的皮膚再生。所以可推出是談?wù)摗皊kinbow”在其他物種方面應(yīng)用的可能性。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Technology can help solve the problem of bad, absent teachers in poorcountry schoolsThe UNs Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by xx all the worlds children would plete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled.36._D_. Even though most of the worlds children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven subSaharan African countries, half of nineyearolds cannot read a simple word and threequarters cannot read a simple sentence.37._A_. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was present, half the time the answer was no.38_B_. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on edtech. That does not mean dumping puters on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a folly on which plenty of money has been wasted.39._E_， that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the childs ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.Technology is no panacea(靈丹妙藥). Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.40._G_. But edtech can help greatlyby monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.A. The reason is terrible teachingB. Several recent studies suggest edtech can helpC. Paying teachers more in the hope of employing better ones is not the answerD. Regrettably, the figure is not as impressive as it soundsE. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use without any help from an adultF. Devices can be taken to where there is a connection to upload or download the necessary informationG. And authorities need to hold teachers to account【解析】36. 上文說“這個目標大部分已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了”，下文指出“盡管世界上大多數(shù)適齡兒童都去了學(xué)校，他們之中有很多人在那里幾乎什么都沒學(xué)到?！?6空表示：令人遺憾的是，這個數(shù)字并不像聽上去那樣令人印象深刻。37. 根據(jù)世界銀行最近針對撒哈拉沙漠以南地區(qū)七個國家的一份研究，有一半的九歲孩子連一個簡單的單詞都不會念，四分之三的孩子讀不懂簡單的句子。造成這個現(xiàn)象的原因在于糟糕的教學(xué)質(zhì)量。所以A是正確答案。38. 第一段講述了目前的現(xiàn)狀，接下來的一段主要講述解決問題的方法。38空位于段首，是本段的主題句：“最近的幾項研究表明教育科技可以為改善這種情況提供幫助。”后文都是圍繞教育科技展開說明的。所以B是正確答案。39. 39空位于段落的中間，為支撐句。上文提到“用在教師身上的稀缺資源可以被更好地用在教育科技上， 這并不意味著將計算機堆放在學(xué)校里”“相反，這意味著為學(xué)校提供軟件”所以E是正確答案。40. 上文“傳統(tǒng)的優(yōu)秀教師并不會過時，也不可能過時。” 后文“然而，教育科技可以幫大忙”有一個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。40空與“傳統(tǒng)的優(yōu)秀教師并不會過時，也不可能過時。”是一個并列關(guān)系，所以G是正確答案。hold sb. to account 意為“讓某人承擔責(zé)任”。 第三部分語言知識運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my daughters beautiful performance. We dont do this often because of our_41_budget.I noticed a very_42_mom e in with her three children, maybe about age 4 or 5. She looked like she had just_43_work. She sat with her children quietly taking care of them and_44_all their needs. Then I noticed as soon as the last course_45_arrived, she took a bite of her food in a hurry and then one of the_46_had to go to the bathroom. They all left the table and she_47_themso lovingly and_48_ especially after what may have been a long day at work. She was still wearing some kind of uniform. I _49_ myself from the table and quietly went to the hostess stand. I _50_ $15 to the hostess and said, “Can you put this anonymously(匿名地) towards that mom of 3s _51_？ I am hoping it will _52_ at least the childrens meals.” The hostess had such a lovely smile and accepted the _53_. I didnt stand around _54_ as I didnt want anyoneeven my own familyto _55_ what was going on. I wanted it to be pletely anonymous. For the _56_ of my meal, I did all I could not to pay any more attention _57_ to the table, as I didnt want her to suspect that it was me that had _58_ their dinner. It feels so _59_ to live in this type of world, full of love and _60_， instead of anger, sadness and selfservice. 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是記敘文。作者講述了自己匿名幫助陌生的母子四人付賬的故事。(C)41. A. separateB. previousC. embarrassingD. total【解析】根據(jù)前面的We dont do this often可知，因為作者一家人的預(yù)算應(yīng)不多，是“令人羞澀的，令人尷尬的”，所以不能經(jīng)常在外面吃飯。(B)42. A. depressed B. exhausted C. graceful D. excited【解析】根據(jù)下文中的what may have been a long day at work及She was still wearing some kind of uniform.可知，這位帶著三個小孩的媽媽是疲憊的。考生可能會選depressed憂郁的，但該詞側(cè)重感情方面
