　　Healthy habitscan help you live longer

　　Leda Beierle has livedthrough World War I and II, the Great Depression, Louisville's 1937 flood and18 US presidents,

　　When she was born 100 yearsago, the Titanic had yet to sink.

　　Beierle, who is mentallysharp and lives on her own, suspects that she's still around because of"good living, "which she describes as no smoking or drinking, andgood luck.

　　"I can'tcomplain," she said, shortly after her birthday earlier this month."I haven't had any serious matter with me. "

　　Some people live longbecause they've essentially won the genetic lottery, said Brian Kennedy, anexpert on aging who also happens to be Beierle's grandson.

　　"They chose the rightparents," said Kennedy, president and chief executive officer of theCalifornia-based Buck Institute for Research on Aging.

　　But for the rest of us, health behaviors do matter, he and otherssay.

　　"It's like 30 percentgenetics, 70 percent lifestyle," said Dr. Deborah Danner of theSanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky." After you turn 80, it's more genetics than anything else,because if youmake it to 80 and you don't have heart disease, hypertension ( 高血压 )—— allthose kind of things—— you're very unlikely to getthem. "

　　Last year, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventionreleased a study showing that people who practiced healthy habits lived longerthan those who didn't. Those behaviors included eating healthfully, getting regularphysical activity, keeping alcohol use moderate, and never smoking.

　　Dr. Roxanne Sukol, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic'sWellness Enterprise, tells people to place an emphasis on being active; makingsmart dietary choices such as avoiding trans fat; and managing stress.

　　"I think the most important choices that we make are at theintersection of those three aspects," said Sukol,who suggests shiftingyour diet away from packaged and processed foods. "Soda, potato chips,even granola bars...I don't eat anything that has 52 ingredients in theingredient list. "

　　She also advocates a daily walk or other physical activity, suchas yard work.

　　Kennedy suggests getting good-quality sleep and taking steps toslash excess calories.

　　Cutting back on red meat also might be helpful. In a studypublished online this month by the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchersat the Harvard School of Public Health found that regular consumption of redmeat,especially processed meat, was associated with an increased risk ofmortality.

　　Eating one serving a day of unprocessed red meat was associated witha 13 percent risk of mortality. Having a serving a day of processed meat, suchas one hot dog or two slices of bacon, was associated with a 20 percent increasedrisk.

　　In a study published online this month by the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association, people who met a half dozen or more recommendedcardiovascular health measures had a lower risk of death than people who met a lotfewer ones. The factors or behaviors included being physically active, eating ahealthy diet and not smoking.

　　Other factors includedhaving normal blood pressure, blood sugar, total cholesterol (胆固醇 ) and weight.

　　Sukol strongly recommendsnot smoking.

　　Cigarette smoking "isassociated with a number of serious illnesses, not the least of which ishardening of the arteries, and that affects your heart, your brain, yourkidneys, everything," she said.

　　Positivity also may play arole in living longer.

　　Danner and colleaguesanalyzed the autobiographies of about 180 Catholic nuns, scoring them onemotional content. The autobiographies were written when the women were intheir late teens and early 20s.

　　"Some were morepositive than others," said Danner, director of education and outreach forthe Alzheimer's Disease Center at Sanders-Brown. "They would have similarevents, but some people would describe them as just matter-of-fact-‘ I wasbore'-in contrast to ‘I was welcomed into this joyous world.' "

　　The study, which waspublished in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in May 2001,"found that the sisters who used more positive emotion words in thoseearly writings lived 8 to 10 years longer," Danner said.

　　"If you're morepositive, something bad can happen, but you're quickly able to work throughit," she said.

　　"And as you do that, then it has less stress on your body'sorgans. "

　　Some of Beierle's relativescredit her positivity, in addition to good genes, with helping her to live toage 100.

　　Beierle, a mother of two,also stayed active for most of her life, doing things like swimming and award-winningbowling.

　　But Kennedy, 45, said manycentenarians have not followed the health advice being preached today.

　　"If you askcentenarians when they were in their 50s what did they do, what you find isthat they tended to be a little bit heavier than the average population, theywere more likely to smoke, they did drink a little bit less, but that's even abit surprising because moderate alcohol consumption is associated withlongevity," he said.

　　"They weren'tvegetarians. They didn't exercise. Nothing we tell people to do. But they'rethe exception, not the rule. "

　　Ultimately, Kennedy said,"You can take charge of your own aging. "

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followedby some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festivalof pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen totheir favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets andslept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even inAugust. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There wereinnumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up,and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans foundthemselves broke, with no money left, and they had difficulty in getting backhome. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort;the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.

　　Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts ofopen un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go forquiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. Inthe national parks especially, modem development of housing and industry isstrictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of thegreatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest.Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have beencreated; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on theAtlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes alongthe range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way.Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy,without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.

　　Yet few people make full use of the national parks established foreveryone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motorout to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英国的路旁停车带). A picnic basket isproduced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove.They then

　　settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparentlytheir idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the countrysights and sounds without having to walk a yard. They seem almost to like tohear and to smell the traffic.

　　57. In Britain it is very risky to __________

　　A) go with a single railway ticket

　　B) listen to pop-music at the festival

　　C) sleep in the open

　　D) pack together in crowds

　　58. At the end of the festival, many young fans__________

　　A) were arrested by the police

　　B) had spent most of their money

　　C) were sleeping out

　　D) became quite penniless

　　59. Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large __

　　A) tracks through the open country

　　B) areas of country without soil

　　C) areas of countryside not developed

　　D) expanses of land where nobody works

　　60. Public pathways are created for people to__________

　　B) enjoy long-distance walking

　　D) visit the historic or scenic sites

　　61. Family groups nowadays like to __________

　　A) have meals out of doors by the road-side

　　B) go for a walk away from home

　　C) drive out past the beautiful places

　　D) hear and smell the animals

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it isfor a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose issettled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is tofind it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walkinto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it instock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceedsat once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less thanfive minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not havewhat he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case thesalesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else——heoffers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings outsuch a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know thisjacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size?It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience withthis treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the

　　right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting mytime and yours by trying it on. "

　　Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost everyrespect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based onneed. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she isonly"having a look around". She is "always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells

　　her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any numberof things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something thateveryone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellentsense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for theunexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, beforeselecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, butapparently an enjoyable one. So mostdress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

　　62. When a man is buying clothes, __________

　　A) he chooses things that others recommend

　　B) he buys cheap things, regardless of quality

　　C) he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensive

　　D) he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right firings

　　63. In commerce a good salesman is one who__________

　　A) sells something a customer does not particularly want

　　B) always has in stock the thing the customer wants

　　C) can find out quickly the goods required

　　D) does not waste his time on difficult customers

　　64. What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?

　　A) He buys something that is similar enough to the ideal one.

　　B) He usually does not buy anything.

　　C) At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.

　　D) So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

　　65. According to this passage, when shopping for clothes,women__________

　　A) often buy things without thinking

　　B) seldom buy cheap clothes

　　C) welcome suggestions from anyone

　　D) never take any advice

　　66. What is the most obvious difference between men and womenshoppers?

　　A) The tact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

　　B) Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

　　C) Women stand up while shopping, but men sit down.

　　D) The time they take over buying clothes.

答案详解

　　Part I Writing

　　[范文]

　　Internet and theDistance among People

　　Today, the Internet has become an indispensable part of our life.We can have a video-chat with friends who are on the other side of the planet;we order food or buy other things through websites... The Internet provides uswith so much convenience that it has changed the way we live.

　　Wherever there is access to the Internet, communication can becarried out through instant messaging,online communities, micro-blogs and soforth. But despite the great convenience the Internet brings about, we find thedistance among people becomes farther, instead of nearer. We play online gamesand forget to call the family; we sit alone surfing the net with mobile phoneswhen classmates are gathering together; children today often play with thetablet computers, rather than with other kids from the neighborhood.

　　In my view, we should use the Internet reasonably, and keep inmind that the real life is much more meaningful than the virtual one. To becloser to other people, we should talk with them, using our voice, instead offinger tips. And we should pass this idea on to the younger generation.

　　【译文】

　　互联网与人们之间的距离

　　如今，互联网已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。我们能和地球另一端的朋友进行视频聊天;我们通过网站订餐或者购买其他商品……互联网为我们提供了如此多的便利，以至于已经改变了我们的生活方式。只要是能接入互联网的地方，人们就可以通过即时通讯软件、网络社区、微博等进行交流。但尽管互联网带来了如此大的便利，我们却发现人与人之间的距离变得越来越疏远，而不是越来越亲近。我们可能只顾着玩网络游戏而忘了给家人打电话，也可能在同学聚会的时候独自在角落里用手机上网;如今的小孩经常是在玩平板电脑，而不是和邻居家的小孩一起玩。在我看来，我们应该合理使用互联网，并且记住：真实世界要比虚拟世界更有意义。为了拉近与他人的距离，我们应该用声音而不是用指尖多与他们交流。而且我们应该将这一理念传递给年轻的一代。

　　【要点用法】

　　indispensable不可或缺的

　　micro—blog微博

　　video—chat视频聊天

　　tablet computer平板电脑

　　instant messaging即时通讯软件

　　virtual虚拟的

　　online community阚络社区

　　finger rid指尖

　　【句法点评】

　　1.The Internet provides us with so much convenience that it haschanged the way we live.

　　介绍互联网的影响，使用so…that…结构来进行强调。provide sb.with sth.意为“为某人提供某物”。

　　2.Where there is access to the Internet，communicationcall be carried out through…

　　wherever意为“无论在哪里”，引导条件状语从句。accessto the Internet意为“接入互联网的通路或途径”。逗号后面为被动语态，增加了句式的多样性。

　　3.But despite the great convenience the Internet brings about，we find the distance among people becomes farther，instead of nearer.

　　despite意为“尽管”，表示让步，其后面可以直接接名词或名词短语。bring about意为“带来”。instead of意为“而不是”，有强调的作用。

　　4.…children today often play with the tablet computers，rather than with other kids from the neighborhood.

　　rather than后面为避免重复，承前省略了play。“邻居家的孩子”即为kids from the neighborhood。

　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming andScanning)

　　【答案解析】

　　1.C

　　线索词：Beierle thinks she lives long

　　定位处：第二段。

　　解析：原文提到：“贝邵尔头脑敏捷，生活独立，她认为自己身体依然很硬朗是由于她拥有‘良好的生活’.对于自己‘良好的生活’她这样描述道：不吸烟不喝酒，外加好运气。”应注意本题是问贝耶尔自己所认为的原因，选项C中的good lifestyle是原文中good living的同义转述，故为正确答案。

　　2.D

　　线索词：genetic lottery

　　定位处：第四段。

　　解析：原文提到：Some people live long because they’ve essentially won the geneticlottery，有些人之所以长寿，主要是因为他们基因好。而基因好的人就像是中了长寿基因的彩票。因此如果人们“中了长寿基因的彩票”，则很可能会长寿。故选D。

　　3.C

　　线索词：Dr.Danner

　　定位处：第七段。

　　解析：原文提到：丹纳博士说，“人过了80岁，基因起的作用就大于其他因素。因为如果你能活到80岁而没有心脏病、高血压等类似疾病的困扰，那么很可能你以后也不会患这些病症了。”可见，那些活过80岁而没有重大疾病的人应该感谢他们所遗传的良好基因。故选C。

　　4.C

　　线索词：making smart dietary choices

　　定位处：第九段后半部分和第十段。

　　解析：原文提到：罗克珊·苏科尔博士告诫人们要重视保持活跃，合理膳食，避免摄入反式脂肪酸，乎衡压力。她建议不要再吃带包装的加工食品，“像苏打水、著条，甚至燕麦卷这一类的……配料表里有52种原料的食品我就不吃了、”所以，如C项中所说“选择包装良好、加工精细的食品”不属于明智的饮食选择。

　　5.A

　　线索词：published，red meat，riskof mortality

　　定位处：第十三段。

　　解析：题于要求将一项研究结果与发表该结果的期刊相对应。文中提到了多部期刊，其中第十三段提到：“此外，少吃红色肉类也可能有帮助。本月《内科医学文献》(Archives ofInternal Medicine)在网上发布了一项研究结果：哈佛大学公共卫生学院的研究人员发现，死亡风险的增加与经常食用红色肉类(特剐是加工过的肉类)有关。”故选A。

　　6.D

　　线索词：strongly recommends not smoking

　　定位处：文中第十七、九段。

　　解析：原文提到：Sukol strongly recommends not smoking.苏科尔强烈建议不要吸烟。我们即可知道是苏科尔(Suk01)强烈建议不要吸烟，但选项中并没有提及Sukol，因此要弄清她的身份。文中第九段开头说：罗克珊·苏科尔博士是克利夫兰诊所健康事业的医疗总监(medical director ofthe Clevel and Clinic’SWellness Enterprise)。故可知答案是选项D。

　　7.A

　　线索词：autobiographies of about 180 Catholic nuns

　　定位处：第二十段。

　　解析：文中第二十段提到研究人员研究了约180名天主教修女的自传，但该段并未指出此项研究的原因和目的，继续读下去到第二十二段，其中谈到这项研究发现在其早期自传中较多使用积极情绪词汇的修女寿命要比其他人长8至10年。可见研究她们的自传，就是为了辨别积极的心态是否会有助于长寿。第二十三段则继续说：如果人们心态更加积极，生活中不好的事情对身体器官所产生的压力就会更少。这进一步说明了积极的心态对健康长寿所起的作用。故选A。

　　8.who used more positive emotion words in those early writings

　　线索词：nuns，lived 8 t0 10 years longer

　　定位处：倒数第八段。

　　解析：原文提到：丹纳说，“在其早期自传中较多使用积极情绪词汇的修女寿命要比其他人长8至10年、”被挖空的部分为修饰nuns的后置定语，正确答案为who used more positive emotion words in those early writings。

　　9.1ive to age 100

　　线索词：Beierle’S positivity

　　定位处：倒数第六段。

　　解析：原文提到：除了良好的寿命基因，贝耶尔的一些亲戚还把她的百岁高龄归功于她本人的乐观豁达。因此答案为live to age l00。

　　10.the exception，not the rule

　　线索词：Kennedy，have not followed the health advice

　　定位处：倒数第四段。

　　解析：原文提到：肯尼迪说，很多年逾百岁的老人都没有遵循如今被广为宣扬的一些健康建议。倒数第二段又提到：“他们不是素食主义者，也从不锻炼。我们建议人们做的事情他们都不做。但是他们只是特殊情况，不是普遍规律。”因此答案为the exception，notthe rule
