8.In the Caucasus region of Russia,nearly 50out of every 100,000people live to celebrate their 100th birthday,and many don't stop at 100!By comparison,in America only 3people in 100,000reach 100.But these Russian old people aren't alone.The Pakistanis,who live high in the Himalaya Mountains,and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life,too.
These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time.While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s,some Caucasians aged 100to 140,work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren.Even the idea of aging is foreign to them.When asked"at what age does youth end?"most of these old people had no answer.Several replied,"Well,perhaps at age 80."
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well?First of all,hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people.They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop.For example,Mr.Rustam Mamedov is 142years of age.His wife is 116years old.They have been married for 90years.Mr.Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer."Why?What else would I do?"he asks.All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work.They all come from mountainous regions.They live and work at elevations of 1,660to 1,000meters above sea level.The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free.This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel(血管) system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation.To a great extent,they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.Inherited factors also play some role.Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages.Good family genes may,therefore,be one factor in living longer.
56.The example of Mr.and Mrs.Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to 140C.
A.become weak and hopeless             B.are too old to work in the fields
C.benefit from physical work             D.are still working in the fields
57.What is the main way of life for all of these long-lived people?C
A.Retiring from their lives as farmers.B.Having been married for 90years.
C.Hard physical work.D.Having no intentions.
58.Which of the following factors isn't helpful to people's health and long life?D
A.Clean mountain air.B.Daily hard work.
C. Good genes             D. Stress and pressure.

分析 本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读,文章讲述了在俄罗斯的毕加索地区,将近每1000,000人中就有50人能够活到100岁,甚至还不止100岁.而与之相对比,在美国每1000000人中仅有3人能超过百岁,这是什么原因造成的呢?在本文中作者对此种现象进行了分析,提出了长寿的几个方面因素.

解答 CCD
56.C推理判断题.根据第三段开头作者提出问题What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well?是什么原因使得他们能活这么久和这么好?然后指出其中一个原因是First of all,hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people.艰苦的体力劳动是所有这些长寿老人的生活方式;随后列举了Mr.and Mrs.Mamedov的例子,由此判断他们的长寿得益于体力劳动.故选C.
57.C细节理解题.根据第三段hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people.可知艰苦的体力劳动是所有这些长寿老人的生活方式.故选C.
58.D细节理解题.根据最后一段To a great extent,they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.Inherited factors also play some role.可知作者认为高加索地区的人们与外界隔绝,没有来自工业社会的各种压力,这是他们长寿的原因之一,由此判断压力对人的健康和寿命是不利的.故选D.

点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.

With the mid-term examinations on the way,are you nervous about your grades?These days,I'm always thinking about.

Stacey,14
10th Nov.2014
I believe that cheating is wrong,but sometimes school can be so stressful (有压力的) that you have to look at your neighbor's paper or bring a cheat sheet.Many of your classmates cheat,so when you see them cheat and get good grades,you want to cheat as well.
Crystal,16
10th Nov.2014
Students should not cheat.It is students'responsibility (责任) to get knowledge for college and life.People should know that cheating is wrong and feel some kind of guilt when they do it even though they may please their parents and teachers in this way.
Edison,17
11th Nov.2014
It makes me feel good when I have a chance to cheat but I don't.In the eighth grade,we were taking a test and everyone got up out of their seats when the teacher left the room.But I didn't.I'd like to look at my report card and say honestly,"This is my grade."
Sharon,18
12th Nov.2014
There's no doubt that cheating is wrong.Also,it's unlucky that so many students feel the pressure(压力)to cheat.For me,cheating is just a waste of time because it takes more effort (努力) to cheat than to study.I understand the pressure to cheat,but I don't agree with it.
Fiona,16
13th Nov.2014
I think,well,cheating is OK if it's the teacher's fault.You know,if a teacher isn't making the material understandable,you have to do something to keep your grades up.But it's not OK when the reason is just"I'm lazy,""I'm tired,""I don't like it,"or"I would rather sleep in class."
51.Which statement is the best to be put intoD at the beginning of the passage?
A.whether students have too much pressure
B.what teachers should do to prevent cheating
C.how to help students go to college without cheating
D.whether it is OK to cheat in exams
52.According to Stacey,C.
A.it is OK for students to cheat in exams.
B.all students who cheat can get good grades.
C.many students cheat because of pressure.
D.students should cover their paper to prevent cheating.
53.From what Sharon said,we can infer thatA.
A.She doesn't cheat in exams
B.She doesn't know why students cheat
C.She studies harder than any other student in her class
D.She supports the students who cheat in exams.

A.It is always wrong to cheat in exams.
B.It is completely OK for students to cheat.
C.Lazy students can cheat in exams now and then.
D.Teachers sometimes should be responsible for students'cheating.

20.We don't have beds in the space shuttle but we do have sleeping bags.During the day,when we are working,we leave the bags tied to the wall,out of the way.At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we've chosen to sleep.
On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time.No one has to stay awake to watch overthe space-plane; the shuttle's computers and the engineers at Mission Control do that.If anything goes wrong,the computers will ring an alarm and the engineers call us on the radio.
In the space shuttle,sleep-time doesn't mean nighttime.During each ninety-minute orbit the sun"rises"and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes,then it"sets"as our path takes us around the dark side of the Earth.To keep the sun out of our eyes,we wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space.Every astronaut sleeps differently.Some sleep upside down,some sideways,some right side up.When it's time to sleep,I take my bag,my sleep mask,and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck.Then I crawl into the bag,and float in a sitting position just above a seat,right next to a window.Before I pull the mask down over my eyes,I have a rest for a while; listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.
56.When it's bedtime,astronauts put their sleeping bagsD.
A.on the wall          
B.at Mission Control
C.in the flight deck     
D.in any place they like
57.According to the passage,in order to get comfortable and fall asleep in space,it is necessary toB.

A.go over  B.research on   C.look into  D.take care of
59.How long does it take for the space shuttle to go round the Earth?C
A.Forty minutes.
B.Fifty minutes.
C.Ninety minutes.
D.Twenty-four hours.
60.The best title for this passage isA.
A.Sleeping in the Space Shuttle      
B.Travel in Space
C.Sleeping Equipment for Astronauts 
D.The Earth Seen from Outer Space.

Then get ready to enjoy 60interesting Geographic articles and as many as five colorful new maps scheduled for the coming year.

There's more to membership than the magazine and the maps.You also have the satisfaction of knowing that your dues support the Society's research and geography education projects.

I think you'll agree,and you won't find a better bargain anywhere.Continue the adventure.Make your membership continue today.
