test that could let people learn whether they can live to a very old age.the researchers said they had no plans to patent the technique or profit from it.instead，they expect to make a free test available on the internet later this month to promote longevity research.the test might show something that people wouldnt like to know，the bu scientists warned.genetic testing often reveals attractive but incomplete information，and it is sometimes difficult to know how to respond.people with genes for extreme longevity could face a series of difficult decisions about their careers，retirement savings，insurance coverage，medical treatments and marriages in old age.scientists have long sought to crack the genetic code of healthy aging.on average，people in developed countries can expect to live between 80 and 85 years，largely as a result of improvements in diet and public health.but the oldest of the oldthe “wellderly”live two to three decades longer，often free

population was booming and spreading west in the early 1800s. westward expansion came mostly at the expense of the indians who were often forced to move from their native lands. in the state of georgia, the population increased 600 percent in the matter of 40 years. as a result, many of its native tribes(部落) were pushed out. the cherokee indians, of western georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828. in 1830, however, president andrew jackson authorized (批准) the indian removal act. the cherokees fought the law, and it was overturned by chief justice john marshall two years later.just three years later, however, in 1835, the treaty of new echota was signed. the treaty was not authorized by the cherokee nation, but rather, a small group of cherokee radicals led by john ridge. under the treaty, the cherokee were to leave georgia and the government would compensate them at a price determined to be about 5 percent of the value of the land. the majority of the cherokee nation would never had agreed to the treaty, but the u.s. government ratified it anyway. john ridge was thus seen as a traitor by the cherokees - and would later pay with his life. the georgia government then staged a land lottery in which cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions. they were sold to anyone who had $4.00 and who had won a chance to own land. in 1838, general winfield scott and 7,000 troops invaded cherokee land. men, women, and children were forced to walk westward from georgia nearly 1,000 miles with minimal facilities and food, to reservations set up for them in oklahoma. cherokee chief john ross, eventually was able to convince winfield scott that his people should lead the tribe west. scott agreed and ross divided the people into smaller groups so they could forage for food on their own. although ross may have save countless lives, nearly 4,000 indians died walking this trail of tears. 1. which of the following happened first?a. cherokees walk to oklahoma.b. the indian removal act.c. the treaty of new echota.d. the georgia “land lottery”. 答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由文章第二段倒数第二句话 “in 1830, however, president andrew jackson authorized the indian removal act.”可知，b选项发生在1830年；由第三段第一句话 “just three years later, however, in 1835, the treaty of new echota was signed.”可知，c选项发生在1835年；由第三段倒数第二句话 “the georgia government then staged a land lottery in which cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions.”可知，d选项发生在treaty of new echota后; 由最后一段前两句话 “ in 1838, general winfield scott and 7,000 troops invaded cherokee land. set up for them in oklahoma.”可知，a选项发生在最后。故答案为b。2. the underlined part “ratified it” (in para. 3) can be replaced by “ ”. a. made it officialb. signed it secretlyc. removed itd. ignored it 答案解析：答案为a。本题为语义推断题。结合该短语出现的句子 “the majority of the cherokee nation would never had agreed to the treaty, but the u.s. government ratified it anyway.”, “ratified it” 出现在 “but” 后面，可见该短语和前面的never had agreed to the “treaty 意思相反，故答案为a，使条约正式化。3. why was john ridge viewed as a traitor by the cherokees?a. because he sold his land to the u.s.government at a low price.b. because he represented the u.s. govermment.c. because he signed an unfair treaty for the cherokees.d. because he carried out a “land lottery” in georgia. 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。细读第三段，treaty of new echota被签署，但不是经过cherokee 民族批准的，而是由john ridge领导的一小群cherokee极端分子干的，规定cherokee民族离开georgia，政府赔偿给他们原有土地的百分之五，大多数cherokee 人并不同意该条约，但是美国政府最终还是批准了该条约，因此john ridge被认为是cherokee的民族叛徒。故答案为c。4. according to the passage, what is the key factor for the “trail of tears”?a. the conflict between the cherokees and the local government.b. the increase of population in the state of georgia.c. the constant struggle for land between the native americans and the settlers.d. the discovery of gold in western gerogia.答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理题。文章的最后提到 “nearly 4,000 indians died walking this trail of tears”， 为什么会发生此事？本题实际考察现象背后的实质：cherokee 印第安人为什么要移民？由文章第二段 “the cherokee indians, of western georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828.” 可知，western georgia 发现了金子后，白人就觊觎此片土地淘金，发生了后来的移民事件，留下了cherokee 印第安人的血和泪。故答案为d。阅读理解 the week i turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. my house, furniture and everything id owned was sold to pay debts that i didnt even know i had. in a week i had lost my

illusions(错觉)and enables people to see images in the round that are actually only twodimensional.although 3d technology is a difficult scientific concept，it is already being widely used in peoples daily lives.with the development of new threedimensional digital technologies，it has been changing peoples ways of communicating and working.digital cameras that record in 3d have been brought to market.manufacturers have also launched 3d digital photo frames，which can broadcast 3d photos.processing software allows flat photos in the frame to achieve 3d visual effects that can be seen by users
