They didnt promise that you would like forever, but they gave you a chance to extend your life an extra five to ten years. Even though the life expectancy rate at birth has increased greatly, the life expectancy for seniors hasnt improved that much. Basically, you have a greater chance to become a senior, but you will not have a much longer lifespan, and this is where the anti-aging drugs intend to kick in. So, do the anti-aging drugs work? Well，it is too early to tell. But the sales so far are very good.April 19, 2035Of the total US population of 378 million, people over 65 years of age now make up 20% for the first time. The senior ratio of only 4.1% by year 1900, and 12.4% 30 years ago.The number of people above 65 compared to those of what is considered working ages, between 15 and 64, is currently 33.7%. This is up from 18.5% since year 2020, which means that for every retired person there are now two workers, compared to four workers 30 years ago. The number of people above the age of 80 has grown to 23.8 million, making them 6.3% of the total population compared to 3.6% in 2020.April 12, 2040Although introduced in the market only five years ago, 10% of all hydrogen fuel now sold in the US is of the environmentally friendly Re-Hydro label, produced through eletrolysis(电解) based on a source of 100% renewable energy. Several producers have turned to producing Re-Hydro, mainly because of lower tax, which also keeps the price of Re-Hydro on the same level as regular hydrogen. Most analysts believe that Re-Hydro will be the dominating fuel in the future.36. According to News 1 we know that the life extension drugs _.A. were first sold in the year 2025.B. are made to make people live forever.C. should be taken when people are young.D. have greatly increased the life expectancy rate at birth.37.

What can we infer from News 3?A. Re-Hydro will be widely used in the future.B. The government discourages the production of Re-Hydro.C. Producers are not interested in producing Re-Hydro.D. Re-Hydro is more expensive than regular hydrogen.BAmericans can travel almost anywhere they choose.But to protect its people,the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go.These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There,the travelers might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called passport.The passport is a government request for the safety of its traveling people.It is also a governments agreement that the people will obey the rules of the host country.To receive a passport from the government,a traveller must prove that he is an American citizen. An American cannot go to a foreign country without a passport. Only certain nearby countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.Pasted inside the passport is the travellers picture.

But its not so good for the tongue. Unfortunately for the US soldiers of World War II, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.In the armys defense, it wasnt trying to win any cooking awards. In fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldnt eat them too quickly. These bars were created for survival, not taste. “They were awful,” John Otto, a former army captain in World War said. “They were big, thick things, and they werent any good. I tried them, but I had to be awful hungry after I tried them once.”As unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. Samuel Hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “It soon became obvious that the generous American soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”The bars turned many hungry Europeans into friends of the United States. “People wanted them,” said Otto, “Youd give them to kids. In some places they were very hungry. And they sure helped relax people about American soldiers.”Otto said he never saw a European turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “It was food,” he said, “At that time, everyone was very hungry. I saw German kids standing outside the U.S. army kitchen. They werent begging, just standing there very politely. When we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. They were that hungry.”Other Europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “We didnt see any Americans where I was,” said Elizabeth Radsma, who was 25 years old when the Germans occupied her country, the Netherlands. “Even after the war, we saw only English. Maybe the Americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. Before the British, we saw only German soldiers. But chocolate? Dont make me laugh! Maybe in my dreams!”A soldier in the field might have responded “Be careful what you wish for” and then gratefully bit on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.46. What was the American soldiers attitude towards the chocolate bars?A. They were delicious.B. They tasted awful.C. They were necessary for survival.D. Too many of them were produced.47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The US soldiers used the chocolate bars as bath soap.B. The US soldiers did not have enough food during World War.C. The US army produced more chocolate bars than necessary for its soldiers.D. European people regretted eating chocolate bars from the US soldiers.48. The underlined expression “turn his or her nose up at” probably means _.A. rejectB. demand C. receiveD. smell49. Why does the author mention the German kids story?A. To tell how friendly the American soldiers were.B. To describe the hunger in Germany during the war.C. To prove German kids could be very polite. D. To show how much they were eager for chocolate.50. Elizabeth Radsma never saw chocolate during the war because _.A. the US soldiers handed out all chocolate to people in big citiesB. the German soldiers kept them all for themselvesC. the British soldiers didnt share it with the local peopleD. the US soldiers never showed up in the small town she lived inMost Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards，fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤起) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was puzzled and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And thats why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is one who awoke my interest, and who gave me much confidence .51Most pupils in China begin to learn English_.Ain primary school Bfrom parents Cat three years old Dat home52The underline part ”no other than my father” in the passage probably means_.Alike my father Bnot my fatherCmy father himself Dnot only my father53From the whole passage we can see that_.Athe girl preferred playing to learning EnglishBthe girl hates her father because he was strictCthe girl is very thankful to her fatherDthe father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand54Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe girls father is her first English teacher.BThe girl had been interested in English before going to school.CThe girls father was always ready to help her with her English.DThe girl could have learned English well by herself without her father.55What would be the best title for the passage?AHow I learned English at schoolBMy father-my first and lifelong English teacherCThe relationship between my father and meDIve made progress in English learning评卷人得分四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题Good sleep is needed for good health.
