24、How long am I going to live? Nobody really knows the answer to that question, but scientists are very interested in trying to understand the various factors (因素) involved. Firstly, it depends a lot on what you eat. The country with the longest average lifespan is Japan. On average, women live to 82.5 years and men live to 76.2 years. Scientists think that diet in Japan is a main reason that Japanese people live a long time; they usually eat lots of fish and seafood and not much junk food. As well as diet (饮食), lifestyle habits also seem to make a difference to lifespan. On average, married people live longer than single people and pet owners live longer than non-pet owners. Being mentally active and doing physical exercise are also very important lifestyle habits.

Studies of very old people, however, don’t always support the scientific theories. Many old people don’t eat healthily and don’t do much exercise. Jeanne Calment, the world’s oldest person ever, certainly goes against scientific ideas. She was born in France in 1875 and died aged 122. Did she use to have good lifestyle habits? Well, according to scientists, she had some very good habits: she did plenty of physical exercise and used to ride a bicycle until she was 100. She was good at thinking positively and she didn’t use to worry about things. Scientists are surprised, however, by one of her other habits: she didn’t used to eat very healthily. She used to eat more than two pounds of chocolate a week.

So there is another factor involved in how long we live. Scientists now think that some people were born with genes (基因) that protect them from aging and diseases better than other people. For example, Jeanne Calment probably had a gene that stopped her from getting cancer (癌症) that other people may get aged forty or fifty. Some scientists believe that we can change our genes by eating a low-calorie diet. Experiments with mice show that when they eat one third fewer calories every day, they live forty percent longer. In human terms, that’s the same as living to 170 years old. There’s no proof that it works in human, however, and perhaps it’s best to enjoy the days you’ve got rather than be hungry all your life!

【1】According to the passage, lifespan is affected by ____ factors.

A. 2   B. 3   C. 4   D. 5

【2】Scientists think that Jeanne Calment lived the longest probably because ______.

A. she used to eat a lot of chocolate

B. she had only good habits in her life

C. she didn’t get cancer when she was fifty

D. she had healthy genes to protect herself

【3】The writer may agree that ______.

A. humans will live forty years longer if they eat one third less junk food

B. being mentally active is more important than having healthy diet

C. people should eat more low-calorie food to change their genes

D. sometimes enjoying life is more important than living longer

25、Friends are a part of our lives. In my life, I have a best friend named Lucy. She means a lot to me. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we sometimes argue, we still treat each other as best friends.

We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I guessed that she was a gentle girl. And she really was. When I was in trouble, she always stood by me and made me feel better.

This winter holiday, we went to the amusement park Happy Valley together. We had fun together on the roller coaster (过山车). We held each other’s hands and shouted loudly when we were riding the roller coaster. It was so exciting. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. This experience left me with a lot of good memories and made our friendship stronger.

There is a line in the movie Soulmate that says, “If you step on someone’s shadow, you will never leave each other.” So I will try my best to “step on her shadow”. Many adults think that children can’t be friends forever. But I don’t believe this.

Maybe we won’t always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．Lucy is important to the writer.

B．The writer’s life would be more colorful without Lucy.

C．The writer never argues with Lucy.

D．It’s difficult for the writer to get on well with Lucy.

【2】How long have the writer and her friend known each other?

A．They climbed a mountain.

B．They rode a roller coaster together.

C．They volunteered at an amusement park.

D．They watched the movie Soulmate.

27、

Joy began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him. He asked his mother, “Why am I different?”

“He actually told us he was mad for making him that way,” his mother Lewis says. How could she provide answers to her son’s question when she’d never found those answers herself?

A few weeks later, Lewis came home and turned on the TV to a news story about a fourteen-year-old boy, Jim. He had become famous after posting videos of his dunks (扣篮), and like Joy, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Joy in. He was riveted, watching dunks again and again.

At the time, it seemed that watching Jim would simply be an exciting moment for Joy. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a friend had already asked the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Jim to build Joy’s confidence.

The boys met at Washington Middle School a couple of months later. Jim talked about their left arms. He told Joy that the way he was made was perfect. He wouldn’t let anyone discourage him and no words would shake his confidence.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a great difference in her son. He recently started wrestling (摔跤运动) and loved it. The meeting made Joy understand that there are others like him.

As for Jim, his relationship with Joy made him look forward to helping more kids.
