山东省枣庄市2015英语阅读理解一轮选练（8）（答案）阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. living alone, every day he worked in his garden. in all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. all sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell. hans had many friends, the most devoted being the miller. so devoted was the rich miller to hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. the miller used to talk about noble ideas, and hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. the neighbors thought it strange that the rich miller never gave hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. in spring, summer, and autumn hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. though extremely lonely, the miller never came to see him then. “theres no good in going to see hans while the snow lasts.” the miller said to his wife, “when people are in trouble they shouldnt be bothered. so ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers.” “youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.” “couldnt we ask hans up here?” said their son. “ill give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.” “how silly you are!” cried the miller. “i really dont know whats the use of sending you to school. if hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybodys nature. i am his best friend, and ill always watch over him, and see that hes not led into any temptation. besides, if hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldnt be confused. the words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. everybody can see that.” he looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea. spring coming, the miller went down to see hans. again he talked about friendship. “hans, friendship never forgets. im afraid you dont understand the poetry of life. see, how lovely your roses are!” hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter. “ill give you many good things. i think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the miller. “and now, as ill give you many good things, im sure youd like to give me some flowers in return. heres the basket, and fill it quite full.” poor hans was afraid to say anything. he ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the millers basket, imagining the many good things promised by the miller. the next day he heard the miller calling: “hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?” “im sorry, but i am really very busy today.” “well,” said the miller, “considering that im going to give you my things, its rather unfriendly of you to refuse. upon my word, you mustnt mind my speaking quite plainly to you.” poor hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted. one evening hans was sitting by fire when the miller came. “hans,” cried the miller, “my little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and im going for the doctor. but he lives so far away, and its such a bad windy night. it has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. you know im going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.” “certainly,” cried hans. he struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the millers house in time to save the boy. however, hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned. at hans funeral, the miller said, “i was his best friend. i should walk at the head of the procession.” every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. 16. from the passage, we can learn that hans _. a. was extremely wise and nobleb. was highly valued by the miller

40 percent less food could extend a persons life by 20 years, according to scientists.researchers at the institute of health ageing at university college london are developing a treatment that they hope will fight the “disease” of getting older.they are looking into how genetics (遗传学)and lifestyle can affect ageing and add years, possibly decades, to a persons life.age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and neuro degeneration can also be treated, it is claimed.they want to find out how the life of a rat can be increased by up to 30 percent simply by reducing its food intake.researcher dr. piper told the independent: if you reduce the diet of a rat by 40 percent it will live for 20 or 30 percent longer. so we would be talking 20 years of human life. this has shown on all sorts of animals, even labradors (a kind of dog). the scientists are also studying fruit flies, which share 60 percent of human genes and age in a similar manner, and mice.they have already made the healthy lifespan (寿命）longer in both flies and mice by using drug treatments and a balanced diet. it is hoped that this combination will also work to extend (延长）human life. dr. piper said: if we discover the genes involved with ageing, we should be able to delay ageing itself. this is what weve found.he added that the field of research into extending life is only a decade old, so remains in theory. it is their special approach to treating all age-related diseases caused by the disease of ageing itself that sets their research apart. 64. the author writes this text in order to _.a.

tasks，such as driving to work，are often compounded by emotional responses: expletives hurled，fists shaken in anger and aggressive threats made toward other drivers.we forget to turn off our nature and instead allow stress，anger and frustration to take physical control of our bodies.why stress，anger and frustration are problematic the problem with stress and anger in the modern world is that most stressful or frustrating scenaries do not require an active physical response.there are no lions or tigers to escape，only imaginary ones.our inactivity in the face of stress or frustration causes most of us not to recognize that our fightorflight response system has been started.our bodies often exist in a state of constant panic，and the chemicals and hormones released into the blood become toxic，resulting in heart disease，arthritis，osteoporosis，diabetes and certain cancers.the_biological_response_that_has_helped_to_keep_us_from_becoming_prey_for_thousands_of_years_is_now_preying_upon_us.how to keep stress，anger and frustration from killing youthe first thing to do in the battle against stress and anger is to recognize them.recognizing triggers and physical responses to stressful situations can help you reduce them.once you recognize that a stressful situation has triggered a physiological response，the best way to bring the body back into a homeostatic_state is through physical activity.walking，running，biking，jumping or any energetic activity will help bring the body back into equilibrium.while it may seem strange to do 100 jumping jacks after a stressful meeting or go for a jog after getting into an argument with your wife，it can save your life.it only feels unnatural because our environment is unnatural.dont let stress，anger or frustration eat at you.fight back through exercise.notes：frustration n挫折equilibrium n平衡长短句分析：our bodies often
