20、lcohol consumption was found to cause both decreased lifespan（寿命）and a reduced number of healthy years.However,the absence of all of these risky healthy behaviors was found to be associated with the greatest number of healthy years.The most striking finding was the discovery of a large difference in

21、 average lifespan between the groups who were the most and the least at risk.Men who were not overweight,had never smoked,and drank properly were found to live an average of 11 years longer than men who were overweight,had smoked,and drank excessively.For women, the gap between these two groups was

22、found to be even greater,at 12 years.“Our results show how important it is to focus on prevention.Those who avoid risky health behaviors are achieving very long and healthy lives,”said Myrskyla.Its not without reason that we are told repeatedly to switch to a healthy lifestyle,which can prevent you

23、from various illnesses as well as keep you young and active.

27、988, I visited many Buddhist temples, but after a while they all began to fade from my memories. However, there was one temple that left a great impression in my heart.It is called the Temple of the Golden Buddha. After walking around it and taking some photos, I walked over to a glass case, next to

28、 which was a typewritten page describing the history of this magnificent piece of art.Back in 1957 a group of monks from a monastery(修道院) had to relocate a clay Buddha from their temple to a new location. The monastery was to be relocated to make room for the development of a highway. When the crane

29、(吊车)began to lift it, the weight of was so large that it began to crack. Whats more, rain began to fall, The head monk decided to lower the statue back to the ground and cover it with a large oilcloth to protect it from the rain.Later that evening the head monk went to check on the Buddha. He shined

30、 his flash- light under the oilcloth to see if the Buddha was staying dry. As the light reached the crack, he noticed a little beam shining back and thought it strange. As he took a closer look at this beam of light, he wondered if there might be something underneath the clay. He went to fetch a chi

31、sel and hammer from the monastery and began to chip away at the clay. As he knocked off pieces of clay, the little beam grew brighter and bigger. Many hours of labor went by before the monk stood face to face with the extraordinary solid-gold Buddha.Historians believe that several hundred years befo

32、re the head monks discovery, the army was about to invade the country. The monks, realizing that their country would soon be attacked, covered their precious golden Buddha with an outer covering of clay in order to keep their treasure from being robbed by the enemy.Unfortunately, it appears that the

33、 enemy killed all the monks, and the well-kept secret of the golden Buddha remained uncovered until the day in 1957.As I flew home I began to think to myself, “We are all like the clay Buddha covered with a shell of hardness created out of fear, and yet underneath each of us is a golden Buddha, agol

34、den Christ, or a golden spirit, which is our real self. Somewhere along the way, between the ages of two and nine, we begin to cover up our golden spirit, our natural self. Much like the monk with the hammer and the chisel, our task now is to discover our true spirit once again.”1、What made the monk

35、s cover the Buddha with a large oilcloth?AHiding it from being stolen.BProtecting it from the rain.CProtecting it from being damaged.DAvoiding being seen.2、Why was the author greatly impressed by the golden Buddha?ABecause he likes it very much.BBecause it differs from others.CBecause of its history

37、t.DBuilding up our belief.24（8分） Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact o

38、f background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Moz

39、art, compared to no sound at all.How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires

40、them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to u

41、se their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two

42、sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.

43、A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music

44、 playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.1、“Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.Aexplain how music can relax peopleBshow music can improve performanc

45、eCadvise people to listen to Mozart musicDstress Mozart music gains wide attention2、It can be inferred that participants in the research _.Ahave improved their rehearsal abilityBperform better in the quiet conditionsCignore the background noise successfullyDprefer the music with great sound variatio

46、n3、Paragraph 6 is written to _.Asupport an ideaBmake a contrastCintroduce a topicDdescribe a fact4、What is the best title for the passage?AMusic shapes your lifeBMusic develops your creativityCChoose quiet music for your workDDoes music make you concentrate?25（10分）For those concerned about wrinkly o

47、ld skin, it might be a creative solution: an elastic(有弹性的) “second skin” that can be smoothed on to make aged tissue look more youthful.The wearable film, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has shown promise in a series of small experiments where it was applied to wrinkles

48、, under-eye bags and areas of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent layer sticks to the skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its producers claim.“What weve been able to do is create a cream that you can put on the skin, and then when

49、its on the skin it can actually form, essentially, an elastic second skin,” said Bob Langer, who led the research. Tests in the lab found that the polymer film (高分子膜), which is only 70 thousandths of a millimeter thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags, and helped keep moisture

50、(水分) in areas of dry skin.The layer is designed to be applied in the morning, then peeled off at night, In previous studies, the second skin withstood normal daily wear, and the stresses and strains of exercise and swimming, without falling off or causing irritation. It also survived exposure to rai

51、n.“Its something you can wear for a whole day or longer, depending on the physical forces that get applied to the area where it is worn, said Daniel Anderson, who helped develop the product at MIT. “You cant tell youre wearing it.”While normal cosmetics can mask imperfections on the skin, the new co

52、ating changes the way skin behaves by giving it the elasticity of young skin. It was developed with help from two companies.1、According to the text, the “second skin” _.Awas developed by two companiesBhas not been tested by scientistsCis developed to remove under-eye bagsDis a transparent covering f
