microbes are everywhere. but dont worrymost microbes dont harm you, and many actually help you stay alive. now, scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime. when the police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal (罪犯). but according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case. every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at the university of colorado. that means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybodys hands is uniquemuch like ones fingerprints. the scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprintespecially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find. and policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal. “microbe fingerprints are harder to hide, ”said noah fierer, one of the scientists, “you cant sterilize(杀菌)a surface just by wiping it off. ”his team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people to the bacteria found on each persons computer keyboard. for the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people who were being tested. the study showed that the mix of microbes from each persons hands matched the mix of microbes on that persons keyboard. the scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apartjust by looking at their keyboards. but there are a lot more than 273 criminals. other scientists wonder whether the microbe fingerprint can really be that useful. fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool. 28. fierer s team found through the study that . a. they found the criminal among the 273 people b. they could tell who had used the computerc. computer keyboards couldnt keep peoples microbe fingerprints d. peoples hands could be recognized by the computer they used 29. the underlined word “forensics” in paragraph 5 probably refers to_. a. a new kind of fingerprint b. a kind of newly invented keyboardc. a kind of bacteria on peoples hands d. the scientific test used by the police 30. the passage tells us that_. a. your microbes may give you away b. scientists will put this method into practice soon c. many scientists think microbe fingerprints uselessd. the microbe fingerprint has been used in many cases31. whats the best title of the passage?a. how to fight against crimes b. the usefulness of microbes c. the importance of fingerprints d. different germs on our handsdneddine parker is up by 7 in the morning. after her morning exercises and some housework, she drives to the local hospital, where she volunteers once a week. what makes parkers routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.“i dont know why im still here,” she said.dr. thomas perls of the boston university medical center is trying to figure that out. as the director of the new england centenarian (百岁老人) study, he studies the super humans aged 100 years and older.“its like winning the lottery,” he said. “youve got to choose the right numbers and the right combination.”researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic(遗传的). for those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.reuben landaus mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. landau is nearly 102，and he still practices law a few hours every day. both landau and parker are remarkably healthy. they take few medicine and have no major illness.perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of genee4that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. one study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. perls also believes they may have a protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. parker, for example，smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke (中风)at 89.however，living into your 100s isnt just genetics. aging successfully has much to do with environment and behavior. landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. hes convinced its why hes still in good health. “people still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said perls. so its not just the cards youre dealt, but how you play the hand.32. according to the first two paragraphs, parker cant understand _. a. why researchers are studying her b. why she still can manage her routinec. why she is still living at the age of 104 d. why she volunteers once a week in the hospital 33. by saying “its like winning the lottery,” dr. thomas perls means _. a. it takes a long time to win a lottery b. it is quite unusual to be a centenarianc. it is very difficult to find “super humans” d. it is a tough job investigating the aging process34. according to the research, landau and parker are remarkably healthy because _ . a. the family gene plays a big part b. they enjoy sports and houseworkc. they are very active in mind d. they are fond of social work 35. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. gene e4 may reduce the risk of heart disease b. the old can have a stroke because of smokingc. genes are not associated with some types of deadly diseasesd. environment and living habits are as important as genes第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10

learning and memory.1. keep spaced repetition（重复）.spaced repetition is a proven memory technique that helps you keep what youve learned strong in your mind. the way it works is you review each word or phrase youve learned in spaced intervals(间隔). at the beginning the intervals will be smaller: you might review a new word a few times in one practice period, and then again the next day. 37 2. learn before you sleep.one of the many benefits we get from sleep is that it helps to clear out the brains “inbox” the temporary storage of new information and memories from our time awake. 38 once its safely stored, spaced repetition will help to strengthen the connection so we can recall the information faster and more accurately.3. 39 once youve mastered the basics of a new language, try including some content on a topic youre interested in to improve your understanding. you could have conversations with friends learning the same language, read articles online or listen to a podcast(播客) to test your comprehension.4. practice a little every day.if youre busy, you might put off your studying and arrange a large amount of learning once every week or two. 40 because your brains “inbox” has limited space, youll hit the limit of how much you can take in pretty quickly if you study for hours at a time.a. mix new and old.b. however, studying a little every day is actually more effective.c. if you really want to learn a language, its not necessarily too late.d. learning languages is something were born to do.e. study content, not the language.f. we need sleep to move anything weve recently learned into our brains long term storage.g. once you know it well you can leave days or weeks between revisions without forgetting it.第三部分
