11、shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summ

The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers l

19、imited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were more energetic and suffered fewer disease. They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.Th

20、e researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say

21、ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cells energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome when it starts to break down. However, repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue produci

22、ng high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.Price said, ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car. They need maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,

23、 he explained, you dont throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.Food, he said, isnt just material to be burned-its a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond. Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age. And this may help u

24、s make more educated decisions about what we eat.1、What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?AThey can keep healthy easilyBThey need more energy to be activeCThey can look younger than they areDThey will live a longer life like humans2、What will happen to ribosomes if ther

27、decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe. TRAPPIS

28、T-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an ultra-cool star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system. TitanTitan is the largest m

29、oon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone. Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesnt have liquid water. The water on this

30、moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature. EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiters moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the r

31、ight chemical build-up. MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility. We

32、 know by now that we wont find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1、The common point of these celestial bodies is that _.Asolid water exists on them respectivelyBlife

33、 might exist on each of themCthey all contain liquid waterDeach of them has living things on it2、Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?ATRAPPIST-1. BTitan.CEuropa. DMars.3、Which of the following statements is TRUE?AEuropa is the most talked-about potential candidate f

34、or extraterrestrial life.BTRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.CAll the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.DThere is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.24（8分）Bendable wings covered with overlapping (重叠部分) pieces looking like fish

35、scales could be used to build more controllable, fuelefficient aircraft, a new study finds.Nowadays, conventional aircraft typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tilt (倾斜) as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago,

36、 they used no ailerons but wires that pulled and stretched the woodandcanvas wings, to control the plane.“Scientists have long sought to develop aircraft that can change their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical

37、control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable，” said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong and lightweight modules (组件). The shape of the wing can be changed unifor

38、mly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered in “skins” of overlapping strips of flexible material like fish scales. These strips move across each other as the wings change themselves, providing a smooth outer surface, the rese

39、archers explained.Wind tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic (气动) properties of conventional wings, at about onetenth the weight. “Initial tests using remotely piloted aircraft made with these wings have shown great promise，” said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate s

40、tudent at the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler.“Still, the first air

41、craft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet，” Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned aircrafts, leading to aircrafts flying for a long time, to help deliver Internet access or medicine to remote villages.”1、Why is the Wright brothers airpla

42、ne mentioned in the text?ATo show the history of aircrafts.BTo show the development of wings.CTo show the need to improve planes.DTo show the structure of conventional planes.2、What makes planes fly like birds when they tilt?ATheir ailerons. BWires and pulleys.CChangeable wings. DMechanical control

43、structures.3、What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe shape of the new wings.BThe purpose of the overlapping strips.CThe working principle of the new wings.DThe result of windtunnel tests of these wings.4、What does the underlined word “disassemble” mean in Paragraph 6?AReplace.

45、tive Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (设施) of the three places,” the Hong Kong SAR governments Transport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua.Two major cross-boundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invi

46、ted to send buses and members to participate in the trial runs.Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs.“Our bus started at noon fr

47、om the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes,” he said, adding that “the journey was smooth.”Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing faci

48、lities of the three places all went on well and smoothly.“The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures,” he said.The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingding

49、yang of Pearl River Estuary, is a mega-size sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR.The 55-km bridge is the longest bridge-and-tunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world.The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport amon
