unit 3 the million pound bank note李仕才一、阅读理解。(2018成都高中毕业班诊断)flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”. it turns out that reading doesnt only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.a recent study by yale university researchers, published online in the journal social science & medicine, concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreaders”the data was obtained from the study sponsored by the national institute on aging. the study looked at 3，635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didnt read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.the findings were remarkable：on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didnt crack open a book. the more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period. those who read up to 3.5 hoursan average of a half hour a daywere 17 percent less likely.“in other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.why or how thats the case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. but the findings are not so surprising. other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.【解题导语】研究发现，阅读和长寿有一定的联系，阅读者的平均寿命比不读书的人长将近两岁。1why does the author mention flauberts words in the first paragraph?ato stress the value of reading.bto compare reading with a party.cto introduce the study on reading.dto support the findings of the study.c解析：推理判断题。文章第一段引用flaubert的名言说明读书的作用，接着第二段介绍了耶鲁大学关于读书与死亡风险之间关系的研究。据此可以判断，引用flaubert的名言旨在介绍对阅读的作用的研究，故c项正确。2from the text, what can we learn about the study?ano similar study on reading has been carried out.bthe process of the study lasted more than ten years.cit shows readers live two years longer than nonreaders.dit shows time spent on reading increases ones love for it.b解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“book readers . to nonreaders”可知，在12年的跟踪调查中发现，与不读书的人相比，阅读者的死亡风险降低了20%。据此可知，该项调查持续了十多年，故b项正确。3what do the underlined words “thats the case” probably mean?areading books enables people to live longer.breading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.creading books is closely associated with longevity.dreading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.a解析：词义猜测题。根据上文中的“books appear to promote a significant survival advantage”及上文所述的研究结论“读书可以延长寿命”和该句“why or how _thats the case . not a causal relationship.”可知，阅读为什么以及以什么方式延长读者寿命，人们仍然不清楚。据此可知，画线词指代研究表明的“读书可以延长寿命”，故a项正确。4where can we most probably read this text?ahttp：//lifeandstyle/family.bhttp：//books/comingsoon.chttp：//news/toyourhealth.dhttp：/www.thebookbag.co.uk/bookrecommendations.c解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要说明了阅读和长寿有一定的联系，阅读者的平均寿命比不读书的人长将近两岁，阅读能增强大脑的功能。据此可以判断，本文属于健康话题，因此最可能摘自健康网站，故c项正确。二、单句语法填空1since the new rules began to work, we students have been permitted (have) one hour for exercise every day.答案：to have2the police spotted a thief (steal) things in a mall at this time yesterday.答案：stealing3i wonder why he has been acting so strange these days.recent pressure at work may account his behaviour.答案：for4i (wander) along the pavement yesterday when some strangers came up and asked me the way to the police station.答案：was wandering5when he came to himself, he found himself (lie) in hospital and his parents looked at him anxiously.答案：lying6she went about telling me the great difficulty that my mum had (bring) me up.答案：bringing7what a choice!
