Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文介绍了世界上寿命最长的法国老太太，她活了120岁零238天，成为有记录以来最长寿的人．Jeanne Calment，a French woman，became a record breaker on 17October，1995，when at the age of 120years and 238days，she became the longest-lived human being on record．A Japanese man died in 1986at the age of 120years and 237days．
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France； her husband，her only child and her grandson have all died．She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair，but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120．She still has a lively sense of humor．When asked on her 120^th birthday what she expected of the future，she replied：A very short one．She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her．
So what is the key to a long life？According to some doctors，diet，exercise and no smoking are the three important factors．Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips．She has always eaten a healthy diet，and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115．However，until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day，and she does smoke （now only a little）．Besides，Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents．Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86．
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death．It must have seemed a good move at the time，but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house．Every year on her birthday，Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying：Sorry，I'm still alive!

解答 25．D 细节理解题．根据文章整体内容及第二段第三句 She still has a lively sense of humor 可知这位老太太仍然非常高兴也很有幽默感，因此答案选D．
26．B 词义猜测题．根据此单词所在句子的前面部分 A local lawyer bought her house…under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death 可知当地的一位律师给老太太买了一套房子，每年会付给老太太一些钱，直到她死去，由此可知这在当时是不小的一笔钱，因此答案选B，deal作名词，意为"（一笔） 交易； 许多"．
27．A 推理判断题．文章倒数第 2 段第 1 句说 …so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house，而老太太本人也感到不好意思，由此可知答案选A．
