But they share another unexpected commonality. In each community, people are gardeni

16、sical activity most days, and you tend to work routinely， ” says Buettner.He says there is evidence that gardeners live longer and are less stressed. A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.If gardening is good, is farming even better?

17、 Many of the lifestyle factors associated with longevitysuch as living in the country and getting lots of exerciseapply to farmers as well.Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations.However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a 5longer lifespan(寿命).

18、 But some of the lifestyle factors associated with bothnamely going outside, engaging in light physical activity and eating a healthy plantbased dietjust might.(B)24.

Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in th

23、e world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion(幻觉), a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their prod

24、ucts. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsui

25、table item that is not really wanted. Recent studies have shown that many electrical goods 6bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decisionmaking is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the

26、availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typic

27、al example is computers, which are almost outofdate once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem.

Understanding 7this process of regeneration would help the treatment of

33、skin diseases and injuries such as burns. This week, a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Centre, in North Carolina, have announced a colourful new technique that should enhance such understanding. They call it the “skinbow”Skinbows are themselves an adaptation of an

34、 approach called a “brainbow”，which was invented almost a decade ago, and is used to label nerve cells different colours. Brainbow technology permits someone with an appropriate microscope to trace the connections that lots of individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of, say, a mous

35、e.Dr Posss experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: the zebra fish. Skinbow or brainbow, though, the basic procedure is the same. Genetic engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes(基因组)contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet light(紫外线)These

36、genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue typebrain for brainbows, skin for skinbows. In the case of skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 7080 such colours

37、. Moreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury

38、. When they cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin had

39、 regrown completely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is

40、 likely to produce useful insights into the process of regenerationnot to mention the possibility of a nice little sideline(副业) in designing aquaria(水族馆)(A)32.

42、nbow and the brainbow differ?A. In their principles.B. In their complexity.C. In their continuity in observation.D. In their practicality in reality.【解析】第四段第二、三句告知了两者之间的区别。 “Moreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is

43、visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.”(D)35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The process of skin regeneration.B. The limitations of the skinbow.C. The prediction of a promising career.D. The possible applications of the skinbow.【解析】从最后一段

44、可知，除了鱼之外，这项技术可以扩展到观察其他物种，包括哺乳动物的皮肤再生。所以可推出是谈论“skinbow”在其他物种方面应用的可能性。第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Technology can help solve the problem of bad, absent teachers in poorcountry schoolsThe UNs Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the

45、 worlds children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled.36._D_. Even though most of the worlds children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven subSaharan Afr

46、ican countries, half of nineyearolds cannot read a simple word and threequarters cannot read a simple sentence.37._A_. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was

47、present, half the time the answer was no.38_B_. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on edtech. That does not mean dumping computers on schools in the hope that children w

48、ill understand how to use them, a folly on which plenty of money has been wasted.39._E_， that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the childs ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check o

49、n whether the teacher is in the classroom.Technology is no panacea(灵丹妙药). Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.40._G_. But edtech can help greatly by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.A. The reason is terrible teaching9B. Several recent studies suggest edtech can helpC. Paying teachers more in the hope of employing better ones is not the answerD. Regrettably, the figure is not as imp
