In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy). After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out. A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging. Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break. Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end. In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown. Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset. For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries. An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years. 1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to? A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance. 2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that _.A. humans life pattern is predictableB. physical fitness cant stop the force of agingC. humans lifetime will last longer than 75 yearsD. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment? A. By limiting the protein in their diet. B. By cutting the calories in their diet. C. By resetting their clock of aging. D. By keeping their physical fitness. 4. What is probably the best title for the article? A. Two Great Experiments. B. The Mystery of Human Life. C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life. D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging. 【参考答案】14、BDAD 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Which are you more likely to have with you at any given momentyour cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner. In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but were likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into Americas consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public. Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminala contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, whats to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “Were still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isnt. 1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ? A. The expansion of cellphone companies. B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards. D. The increase of Starbucks sales.2. The NFC technology can be used to.A. ensure the safety of shoppers B. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simpler D. improve the quality of cellphones3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to.A. strengthen their relationship B. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphones D. test the NFC technology4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones? A. Stop the functioning of their phones. B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones. D.

Thats the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is closed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not waste their money on multivitamins. “The stop wasting your money means that perhaps youre spending money on things that wont protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementations role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vitamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant. 53. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicine B. education C. food D. business54. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Millers opinion according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.55. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.56. The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to_. .A. persuade B. describe C. inform D. instruct【参考答案】阅读理解53-56 ADBC 故事记叙型阅读理解。Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title “My top five most precious possessions”It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.
