7、o These 5 Centenarians(百岁老人)Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked all the time: “How did you live to be 100?“ If you want to live to 100 or more, this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity (长寿) is working hard at a job you lo
8、ve and taking care of your body while you“re at it. Even though an estimated 70,000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age, it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place. The average life-span(寿命) of Americans is about two or three years short of an 8
9、0th birthday party. And most people don“t want to cut out coffee, soda, alcohol, cigarettes, and eat healthy food. “People tell me all the time, “I don“t want to live to be 100,“ said Mildred Leaver, who turned 100 in June. “I think that“s just sad. Aging is attitude and I don“t feel old,“ said Leav
10、er, a former educator who still drives her Buick around town. It doesn“t take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris, Grace Wolfson, Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas, have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits. All are 100 except Stuart, who is 101. Eve
11、n though their sight and hearing aren“t what they used to be, they“ve all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with. It“s been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time. The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as
12、 a farmer, designer, school principal, bookkeeper and secretary. In the early years of their lives, gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-old are today.（分数：7.00）(1).Currently about 70,000 people are aged 100 or above in America.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).It

15、(鲜切花)1While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his/her house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. 2An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies hav
16、e shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12 than when kept at 26. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological
17、purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸) , generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and
18、color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual d
19、eath of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse(相反的过程) is al
20、so true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink“ water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when
21、water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to
22、 each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1 A. Control of Respiration B. Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers C. Role of Respiration D.

25、tes for cancer are falling for all Americans, but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites, the American Cancer Society said Monday. In a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites, and they are more
26、 likely to die of the disease. This could be because of unequal access to medical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases like diabetes as well, and perhaps because of differences in the biology of the cancer itself, the report added. “In general, African Americans have less like
27、lihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,“ the report said. “In describing cancer statistics for African Americans, this report recognizes that socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to medical care may underlie many of the dif
28、ferences associated with race.“ The Cancer Society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups earlier, when cancer was more treatable, and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role. “The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of eliminating these
29、 social disparities through public policy and education efforts,“ the organization said in a statement. But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates. “Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have declined substantially among black Americans since 1992, as have incidence rates,“ sai
30、d the report. “Increased efforts to improve economic conditions in combination with education about the relationship of lifestyle choices to cancer could further reduce the burden of cancer among African Americans.“ About 36 million Americans describe themselves as black, representing about 12 perce

34、e-carA ride in a cable-car is one of the exciting and enjoyable experiences a child can have. In Switzerland, which is the home of the cable-car, it is used mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain, to a restaurant from which one can have a bird-eye view of the surrounding country, or to a
35、 top of a ski-run, from which, in winter, skiers glide down the snow covered the slope on skis. In Singapore, however, the cable-car takes one from the summit of a hill on the main island to a low hill on Sentosa, a resort island just off the southern coast. The cable-car is really a carriage which
36、hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air. It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys, the wheels of which are turned by electric motors. The cars are painted in eye-catching colours and spaced at regular intervals. Each car can seat up six persons. After the passengers have ente
37、red a car, they are locked in from outside by an attendant, they have no control over the movement of the car. Before long, the passengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the modern city, the bustling harbour, and the several islands off the coast. The car is suspended so high
38、in the air that slips on the sea look like small boats, and boats like toys. On a clear day, both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue. In contrast to the fast-moving traffic on the ground, the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner, allowing passengers more than enough time to
39、take in the scenery during the brief trip to the island of Sentosa. After a few hours on Sentosa, it will be time again to take a cable-car back to Mount Faber. The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip.（分数：15.00）(1).The cable-car in Singapore _.（分数：3.00）A.takes visitors up to a m
40、ountain restaurantB.takes skiers to the top of a ski-runC.takes visitors to SentosaD.takes visitors to a high mountain(2).Which of the following about the cable-ears is true?（分数：3.00）A.The cars move along the steel cable.B.The cars are operated by a driver.C.The ears are controlled by the passengers
41、.D.The ears move on wheels.(3).Passengers can get a breath-taking view when riding in a cable-car because _.（分数：3.00）A.the ear is painted in eye-catching coloursB.the car is suspended so high in the skyC.each ear can seat up to six personsD.both the sky and the sea look beautifully blue(4).The short
42、 trip does not bother passengers who want a good view because _.（分数：3.00）A.the cars move slowlyB.the ears move quicklyC.the ears are suspended very highD.the ears have glass windows(5).The last sentence of the passage “The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip“, means _.（分数：3.00）A
43、.“The return trip is less boring than the outward ones.“B.“The return trip is more enjoyable than the outward ones.“C.“The return trip is as thrilling as the outward one“D.“Both the outward and the return trips are uninteresting.“七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Why So Many ChildrenIn many of the developing cou
44、ntries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth ratefrom 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman. The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have so many childr
45、en? Why don“t they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this. One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someo
46、ne to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently an
47、d rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War , Italy“s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world“s lowe
48、st. However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on
49、 the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth. Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women. This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico,
