1961 at the age of 101 PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions Read the following three passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are 4 choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A In the Caucasus region of Russia nearly 50 out of every 100 000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday and many don t stop at 100 By comparison in America only 3 people in 100 000 reach 100 But these Russian old people aren t alone The Pakistanis who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life too These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time While many older people in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 work in the fields beside their great great grandchildren Even the idea of aging is foreign to them When asked at what age does youth end most of these old people had no answer Several replied Well perhaps at the age of 80 What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age and to survive so well First of all hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long lived people They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop For example Mr Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age His wife is 116 years old They have been married for 90 years Mr Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer Why What else would I do he asks All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work 47A heardB finishedC spokeD moved 用心 爱心 专心 They all come from mountainous regions They live and work at an altitude of 1 000 to 1 660 meters above sea level The air has less oxygen and is pollution free This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood circulation system stronger Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation To a certain degree they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society Inherited factors also play some role Most of the longest lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages Good family genes may therefore be one factor in living longer It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution clean mountain air daily hard word moderate diets good genes and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and long life of all these people 56 The function of the last paragraph is to the whole text A assess B comment C summarize D develop 57 The example of Mr and Mrs Mamedov suggests that A physical work contributes a lot to their long life B some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 are too old to work in the fields C some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 become weak D some Caucasians aged 100 to 140 are still working in the fields besides their great great grandchildren 58 We can infer from the text that A Russians die earlier than Americans B the percentage of longevity 长寿 decreases C people having no intentions live longer D altitude affects people longevity 59 The underlined word isolation most probably means A being lonely but healthy B being far away from other people C being associated with the society D being deserted by the society 60 The following factors except contribute to the health and long life of all these people A clean mountain air B daily hard work C stress and pressure D good genes B If you have ever been rock climbing then you will know that it is not a very easy sport As a matter of fact you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and like anything else require practice to get good at What most people don t know is that the sport of rock climbing is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports there is There are three basic types of rock climbing Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner The second type 用心 爱心 专心 which is very similar to top roping is called lead climbing In both of these types of rock climbing the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes This is the most demanding of all climbing types The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope Believe it or not climbing is said to be about 75 legs and only 25 arms To climb efficiently and successfully a person needs to have a wonderful technique One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall whether it is both feet and one hand or one foot and both hands as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward Also the closer you are to the wall the easier it is to climb Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for ordinary people but it really is an amazing workout Once you get into the sport and learn how to position your body and rest your weight then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall For anyone who wants to get into shape rock climbing is a fun and effective way to keep your figure 61 What does the author think of rock climbing A It is an easy sport B It is challenging C It is quite dangerous D It is extremely difficult 62 According to this passage we know that A indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing B while rock climbing people depend mainly on their arms C ordinary people can practise rock climbing D during climbing the climber can always stop for a rest 63 It is much easier for a rock climber if he while climbing A takes a rope B has a partner C uses feet more often D has three points touching the wall 64 will make rock climb easier A Keeping the body closer to the wall B Resting more often on the arms C Resting more often on the feet D Pushing forward without thinking of the problems 65 By rock climbing one can A get more weight and stronger will B get both physical and mental exercise C have a terrible experience that will last long D probably feel quite defeated C 用心 爱心 专心 How many things can you see in the night sky A lot On a clear night you might see the Moon some planets and thousands of shining stars You can see even more with a telescope You might see stars where before you only saw dark space You might see that many stars look larger than others You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky And you can see those objects in more and more detail But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see We won t see them without the biggest telescope in the world on the clearest night of the year Why That s because they re invisible They re the mysterious dead stars called black holes You might find it hard to imagine that stars die After all our Sun is a star Year after year we see it up in the sky burning brightly giving us heat and light The Sun certainly doesn t seem to be getting old or weak But stars do burn out and die after billions of years As a star s gases burn they give off light and heat But when the gas runs out the star stops burning and begins to die As the star cools the outer surface of it pulls in toward the center The star pressed into a smaller and smaller ball If the star is very small it will end up as a cold dark ball called a black dwarf If the star is very big it will keep pressing inward until it s packed together tighter than anything in the universe Imagine if the Earth were squeezed until it was the size of a tiny marble That s how tightly this dead star a black hole is packed What pulls the star in toward its center with such power It s the same force that pulls you down when you jump the force called gravity A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything even light The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes That s why you see nothing but blackness So the next time you stare up at the night sky remember there s more in the sky than what meets the eye Floating in the silent darkness are black holes the great mystery of space 66 According to the article what causes a star to die A As its gases run out it cools down B Its collision with other stars C The gravity makes it smaller and dead D As it gets hotter and hotter it explodes 67 Which of the following statements is NOT a fact A Black holes are dead stars B Black holes have gravity C Black holes are invisible D There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole 68 What happens AFTER a star dies A It becomes invisible B It becomes smaller but brighter C It burns up all of its gases D It becomes brighter and easier to 用心 爱心 专心 see 69 Why can t you see light when you look at a black hole A Because most black holes are so far away B Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward C Because as the star s gases burn it stops giving off heat and light D Because as a star cools its outer surface pull in toward its center 70 What is the best title for the text A The Sun and the Moon B The Light and Heat of the Sun C Amazing Black Holes D The Death of Black Holes PARTPART FOURFOUR WRITINGWRITING
