(There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you cant do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “dont worry about it.”In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “Ive only ever had one wrinkle, and Im sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).21.

To indicate that Calment is just as famous. D. To admire the knowledge that Calment had.22. The author believed that Calments longevity is mainly due to _.

so, Dario Schworer a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just thatThe Swiss couple want to travel across the worlds oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of lifeWe are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas Schworer saidWe want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the futureRecently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through the worlds climate zones using just human-power and forces of natureIn the 47 countries they have visited they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the suns rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundationThey have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school childrenSo far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind powerWhen they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their ownBut since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Neo was born in AustraliaInitially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, they believe it could take seven moreSince our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good, Schworer said28Why do the Swiss couple travel around the world?ATo inspire their children for the futureBTo prove a travel without motorized transportCTo promote Earth-friendly ways of lifeDTo explore the secret of global warming29They did a lot during the travel except _Acollect rubbish and wasteBbuild a house with recycled plastic bottlesCcommunicate with local childrenDshow people how to use energy30Whats the meaning of the underlined word Initially?AAt the beginning BIn a wayCIn the end DOn the whole31The best title of the passage can be _AA Swiss family journey across the worldBNature needs respecting and protectingCWe have a long way to make a good travelDAn eco-friendly adventure across the world DEverybody is happy as his pay risesYet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger oneIndeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite crossSuch behavior is regarded as all too human, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadnessBut a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has Just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as wellThe researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeysThey look smart They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happilyAbove all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of goods and services than malesSuch characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans studyThe researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens （奖券） for foodNormally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumberHowever, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite differentIn the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods （and much preferable to cucumbers）So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumberAnd if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumberIndeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room （without an actual monkey to eat it） was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkeyThe researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social sensesIn the wild, they are co-operative and group-livingSuch co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheatedFeelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings aloneRefusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the groupHowever, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question32According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?AOnly monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the worldBWomen will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treatedCIn the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each otherDMonkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes; for grapes are more attractive33Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are _ _Amore likely to weigh what they getBattentive to researchers instructionsCnice in both appearance and behaviorsDmore ready to help others than their male companions34Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?AHuman beings feelings of anger are developed from the monkeysBIn the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with othersCCo-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheatedDOnly monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago35What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarahs study?AThe monkeys can be trained to develop social sensesBThey usually show their feelings openly as humans doCThe monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatmentDCo-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Happiness is for everyone.
