s hearts go into rapid decline 衰弱 when they reach middle age The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20 25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age said the head of the study David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat Between the ages of 20 and 70 one third of those cells die and are not replaced in men said Goldspink This is part of the ageing process What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells A healthy 70 year old woman s heart could perform almost as well as a 20 year old one s This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men said Goldspink They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80 focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll 造成损失 on the male heart said Goldspink The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age 56 The underlined word longevity in paragraph 2 probably refers to A health B long life C ageing D effect 57 The passage mainly talks about A men s heart cells B women s ageing process C the gender difference D hearts and long life 58 According to the passage the UK scientists have known that 5 A women have more cells than men when they are born B women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat C the female heart loses few of the cells with age D the female heart never loses the pumping power with age 59 If you want to live longer you should A enable your heart to beat much faster B find out the reason for ageing C exercise regularly D prevent your cells from being lost 60 We can know from the passage that A the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found out B scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cells C the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells D women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20 B B Long long ago a God called Ratu lived in the sky Ratu liked to play games and make people angry The game he liked best was to fly down into the sea and frighten all the fishes The fishes became very tired of his game They asked Hemi the God of the sea to help them So Hemi tried to catch Ratu the next time he flew into the sea but he was too slow Ratu laughed at Hemi as he flew past him This made Hemi angry and he had an idea He asked the fishes to bring him a lot of seaweed Hemi tied it all together and made a large net from it Soon Ratu flew down and Hemi threw the net over him Ratu fought and fought but could not get free He was caught Ratu promised never to frighten fishes again if Hemi would set him free But Hemi did not believe him Instead he changed Ratu into a mountain in the sea Ratu was so angry that when he opened his mouth to shout at Hemi fire and smoke broke out And that is why the Island of Ratu is a volcano 61 This story is a A joke B humor C true story D fairy tale 62 The key meaning of this story is A how volcanoes are born B how Ratu was beaten C why some gods are good and some are bad D why the Island of Ratu is a volcano 63 Ratu liked to fly down into the sea because A he liked to make fun of the fishes B the fishes welcomed him C the fishes were friendly to him D he had too much fire in his mouth 64 Why did Hemi not believe Ratu s promise 6 A Because Ratu was a funny god B Because Hemi was an honest god C Because Hemi was not believable D Because Ratu was unbelievable 65 The main point of the story seems to be that A the person who makes trouble will be punished B some volcanoes in the sea are gods C seaweed is a good material for making nets D one who makes promises is not to be always believed C C Do you want to know something about the history of weather Don t look at the sky Don t look for old weather reports Looking at tree rings is more important Correct weather reports date back only one century but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall It is also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk To find the weather of ten years ago count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside If the tenth ring is far from the other rings then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred If the rings are closed together then the climate was bad for the tree Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather but also for the history of man In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand no trees and no people However many centuries ago a large population lived there They left suddenly Why A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings So after the people destroyed the trees they had to move In this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man 66 It is understood that in a favorable climate A tree rings grow together B tree rings grow far apart C trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall D people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico 67 The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell A whether in that area the climate was favorable or not B whether a particular tree was healthy or not C whether people took good care of the trees or not D how old the trees were 68 By studying the dead tree rings the scientist discovered A where the people had left B what the people used to eat 7 C how the people left D why the people had to leave 69 The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because A they had cut down all the trees B there were many trees there C they had no water D bad weather stopped the growth of trees 70 The main idea of the passage is A tree rings reflect the history of weather and the history of man B destroying tree will do man no good C studying tree ring is the only way to know the history of weather D man shouldn t cut so many trees 第第 IIII 卷 三部分 共卷 三部分 共 4545 分 分 第五部分第五部分 A A 任务型阅读 共任务型阅读 共 1010 小题 每小题小题 每小题
