第2题：
Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)
Text 1
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for," is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven' t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice?
His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
21. This passage is mainly about______.
A) how to interpret what people say
B) what to do when you listen to others talking
C) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D) why we go wrong with people sometimes
正确答案：C

Passage Five
Cirque du Soleil (say it: Serk du So-lay) is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS. It is a modem acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
Last April, the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive. This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons. They said he was a danger to others.
He disagreed.
Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco. They said that firing him was not legal.
Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him. It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act, and then fire him before he performed.
He says he is not a danger to others. People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood, or open wound.
The company says what their acrobats do is very, very dangerous. They perform. tricks without nets. Someone might fall and get hurt, It could be bloody. They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.
People who run the circus say it hurts to be accused of discrimination.
Matthew Cusick says he feels hurt that he can't perform. in the big blue and yellow tent.
Dozens of artists, actors, writers and entertainers got involved in protesting the firing of Matthew Cusick. Some names you might know are: the Actors' Equity Union (45,000 members), Rosie O'Donnell, Rod McKuen, and Chad Allen. They also protested at a showing in Orange County. They said "HIV discrimination is unacceptable."
52. Matthew Cusick______.
A. believes he was fired illegally
B. says he was not H1V positive
C. understands why he had to be fired
D. lives in San Francisco
正确答案：A
在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。

In Your Face
Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
we react.
There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
same everywhere.Two people might feel different emotions about the same thing.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力，针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
由文章第三段第四句话可知，Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方，人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
题干说：“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
参考第17题解析。
题干说：“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分， 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时，一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
题干说：“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
题干说：“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同，但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。 -

第7题：
The dog has always been considered man′s best friend.Always noted for being particularly?faithful in watching over children,he also has his place by the fireside,in the cow pasture,on the?sheep range(放牧区),and beside the hunter in forest.He is easy to train,works hard,and often?performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power,before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.
Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death,the dog was once thought to?have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actually,the.basis for these beliefs lies in the hound′s sensibility to people′s feelings and his superior?hearing ability and sense of smell,which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding,for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.
The dog′s major contribution,however,has been to medical research.Both his diet and his?structure are comparable to those of the human being,and so he has been the subject Of countless?demonstrations and experiments.Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the?dog.But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病),distemper,and other diseases.

B.served man
C.helped other dogs

How We Form First Impression
We all have first impression of someone、just met.But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?
The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be~of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits,Even very minor difference in how a person'5 eyes,ears,nose,or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different.In fact,your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information-the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming signals are compared against a host of "memories"stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质）system to determine what these new signals"mean".
If you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says"familiar and safe".If you see someone new it says,"new and potentially threatening".Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other"known"memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,gestures,and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics are,the more your brain may say,"This is new.I don ' t like this person ".Or else , " I'm intrigued（好奇的）".Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures-like your other friends;so your brain says,"I like this person".But these preliminary"impressions"can be dead wrong.
When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history,interest
values,strengths,and true character-we categorize them as jocks（骗子）,peeks（反常的人）,or freaks（怪人）.
However,if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes,dreams,and become aware of the person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow us to be humane。If you meet a stranger with familiar gestures,your brain is most likely to say________.
A:"He is familiar and safe."
B:"He is new and potentially threatening."
C:"I like this person."
D:"This is new.I don't like this person."答案：C解析：本文主要讲述了人们对陌生人的第一印象是如何形成的。
由文章第二段第二句和第三句话“Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits.Even very minor difference in...makes you see him or her as different.”可知，大脑对面部特征十分敏感，即使是每个人在眼睛、、耳朵或嘴部的细小差异也会使大脑察觉到其不同之处。由此可步测出，面部特征是我们对陌生人第一印象的重要影响因素。故选C。
由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes.so your brain says , 'I like this person'.”可知，当我们见到-个陌生人，但是他/她的服饰、毛势、民族特征等和我们的朋友相似时，我们的大脑就会产生一种“我喜欢他/她”的信号：故选C。
由文章第三段最后-句话“But these preliminary 'impressions' can be dead wrong.”可知，我们对别人的最初印象可能是完全错误的。"preliminary”意思为“初步的，开始的”，与initial（最初的开始的）意思相近。故选C。simplistic过分简单的；stereotypical模式化的；categorical明确的，至对的。
由文章第四段中“When we stereotype people...Rather than learn about the depth an breadth of people”可知，当我们对-个人形成模式化的印象之后，我们会用-种不成熟的思维方式来看待他，却没有去了解他思想上和人格上的深度和广度。故选A。
文章第-段提出了“为什么我们在还没有真正了解-个人时就已经形成了对他的第－印象？”这个问题；文章第二段前两句说这与大脑如何感知世界是息息相关的，大脑对面部特至十分敏感；文章第二、三和四段进一步论述了这-问题；文章最后一段讲如果我们拒绝模式不的第-印象，那么我们就会用更成熟的思维来了解-个人。由此可看出本文主要讲的是大脑对面部特征的敏锐感知使我们形成了对别人的第一印象。故选B。 -

第二篇
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry,you must be good at saying it yourself,especially to your own children.But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children"I'm sorry I got angry with you,but…”what follows that"but"can render the apology ineffective:"I had a bad day"or"your noise was giving me a headache"leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say"I'm sorry you're upset";this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general,all-covering apology,which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting,and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.Saying"I'm useless as a parent"does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness.Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength,and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does,and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable,but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry________.
A:the complexities involved should be ignored
B:their ages should be taken into account
C:parents need to set them a good example
D:parents should be patient and tolerant答案：B解析：细节题。根据第二段中提到的：what follows that "but" can render the apology ineffective:"I had a bad day"or"your noise was giving me a headache"leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior...“但是”后面的内容会让你的道歉打折扣，“我今天度过了糟糕的一天”或者“你吵得我头疼”这样的话会让已经受伤害的人觉到他应该为自己恶劣的行为道歉······
推断题。根据第三段后半部分：this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done．这等于在暗示你放任自己对别人的所作所为感到生气，对于这一点你是负有责任的。既然是由于放任自己生气，那么当然不怪我了。
推断题。根据第四段中的提到的specific act（具体的行为）和specific improvement(具体的改善）可以推断出这种笼统的道歉过于模糊，也没有什么效果。
推断题。根据最后一段中提到的complexities of saying sorry（道歉的复杂性）以及分别列举3岁、6岁和12岁孩子的具体例子，可以推断出教孩子道歉的时候需要考虑到他们的年龄。
推断题。根据前几段中对于几种道歉时的误区以及最后一段中提到的 complexities of saying sorry（道歉的复杂性）可以推断出：道歉并不像看上去的那么简单。 -

根据第一段“More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas, and characters.”可知，我们很少根据多高、染什么颜色的头发、穿什么衣服去认识一个人，而更多的是通过他的内在去判断。 -

Often heard people complain about, why not my face, why so bad weather today, why do I livein such a poor family, why God told me ... why should we complain about it complained that it?Life was not all the best, life was not perfect, on the contrary, the ups and downs, is the routine. Do not complain, evervone's life will not be easy, but precisely because of these?twists and turns?infolding wave, acquired a colourful life.
If we can often look at the issue from another angle, you might easily find the life is still veryexciting. You can't change the face, smile, why don't you think about indulgence; you can'tchange the weather, why don't you change the mood? As the saying goes: after the storm. The sameis true of life, after training can often make life wonderful.
China, a writer came to the United States, he saw a flower of the old lady is always veryhappy, very strange. He would pick a flower asked:"Why are you always so happy?" Replied theold lady. And it made the writer stand in amazement."That Jesus was crucified is the world'sdarkest day, three days later to Easter. All the trouble to wait for three days as long as the right notto vanish into thin air?" Writer for the old lady answered and moved an old lady could look at thisfree and easy life, could see so thoroughly to life. King inventors--Edison filament do in order tofind the best materials have been done a 1,000 experiment many times and failed. Have a laugh athis neighbour, "Do you know to do 1,000 experiments have failed many times?" Edison said, "I amnot found more than 1,000 kinds of inappropriate material filament so it?" Edison failed to look atfrom another angle, he is quite sure that it can be the most suitable materials, is precisely becauseof this self-confidence, they are able to make unremitting efforts, finally successful.

In Your Face
Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
we react.
There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
same everywhere.Ekman did research in several countries and got different results.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力，针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
由文章第三段第四句话可知，Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方，人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
题干说：“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
参考第17题解析。
题干说：“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分， 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时，一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
题干说：“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
题干说：“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同，但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。 -

The dog has always been considered man′s best friend.Always noted for being particularly?faithful in watching over children,he also has his place by the fireside,in the cow pasture,on the?sheep range(放牧区),and beside the hunter in forest.He is easy to train,works hard,and often?performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power,before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.
Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death,the dog was once thought to?have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actually,the.basis for these beliefs lies in the hound′s sensibility to people′s feelings and his superior?hearing ability and sense of smell,which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding,for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.
The dog′s major contribution,however,has been to medical research.Both his diet and his?structure are comparable to those of the human being,and so he has been the subject Of countless?demonstrations and experiments.Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the?dog.But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病),distemper,and other diseases.

The First Four Minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes
together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he
offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole
lives would change if they did just that."
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has
just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and
self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is
important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and
hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my
nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."
__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is
like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that
way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships,
especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain
about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth
about one's opinions and impressions.
________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first
four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be
treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along
with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know._________（49）
A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.答案：B解析：本文主要讲与人初次见面最初四分钟对于人际交往的重要性。文章开头以自问自答 的形式提出主题，然后说Leonard Zunin博士在书中向任何想交新朋友的人提出一条建议。这 条建议肯定与初次见面的最初四分钟有关，比较一下只有D与之相关。而且人们常用祈使句 向别人提建议，D是一个祈使句，它的意思是：“每次你在社交场合遇到什么人时，全神贯注地 注意他四分钟。”和上下文意思连贯。故选D。
承接上一段，本段第一句话告诉我们有人并不按Leonard Zunin博士建议的那样做。显 然此处选E项最合适，因为它陈述的是一个具体行为，且与Leonard Zunin博士的观点相悖。
文章第三、四段建议当被引见给陌生人时，态度应当友好而自信，还应掌握好分寸。对 此，有人会说友好和自信非其本性，如果硬要装出如此态度就是不诚实。这是一种反驳意见， A项可以作为回答，"Zunin博士说只要我们稍加练习就可以改变社交习惯。”下文是对此的进 一步解释。
此前作者主要谈与陌生人相处要注意最初四分钟。从其他句子来看，本段谈的是家庭 成员之间在交往中也应注意在一起的最初四分钟，故B最合适。
本段强调人际关系的重要性，C项意为“他认为人一生中的成功主要依赖于如何与他人 相处。”其意思符合本段主题，后一句的主语that指的就是与人友好相处这件事。第6部分：完形填空 -

Eat to Live
A meager diet may give you health and long life,but it's not much fun-and it might not even be necessary.We may be able to hang on to most of that youthful vigor even if we don't start to diet until old age.
Stephen Spindler and his colleagues from the University of California at Riverside have found that some of an elderly mouse's liver genes can be made to behave as they did when the mouse was young simply by limiting its food for four weeks.The genetic rejuvenation won't reverse other damage caused by time for the mouse,but could help its liver metabolize drugs or get rid of toxins.
Spindler's team fed three mice a normal diet for their whole lives,and fed another three on half-rations.Three more mice were switched from the normal diet to half-feed for a month when they were 34 months old-equivalent to about 70 human years.
The researchers checked the activity of 11,000 genes from the mouse livers,and found that-46 changed with age in the normally fed mice.The changes were associated with things like inflammation and free radical production-probably bad news for mouse health .In the mice that had dieted all their lives,27 of those 46 genes continued to behave like young genes. But the most surprising finding was that the mice that only started dieting in old age also benefited from 70 percent of these gene changes.
"This is the first indication that these effects kick in pretty quickly,"says Huber Warner from the National Institute on Aging near Washington D.C.
No one yet knows if calorie restriction works in people as it does in mice,but Spindler is hopeful."There's attracting and tempting evidence out there that it will work,"he says.
If it does work in people,there might be good reasons for rejuvenating the liver. As we get ol- der,our bodies are less efficient at metabolizing drugs,for example.A brief period of time of die- ting,says Spindler,could be enough to make sure a drug is effective.
But Spindler isn't sure the trade-off is worth it."The mice get less disease,they live longer,but they're hungry,"he says."Even seeing what a diet does,it's still hard to go to a restaurant and say:‘I can only eat half of that.’"
Spindler hopes we soon won't need to diet at all.His company,Lifespan Genetics in California,is looking for drugs that have the effects of calorie restriction.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?
A: Eating less than usual might make us live longer.
B:If we go on a diet when old,we may keep healthy.
C: Dieting might not be needed.
D: We have to begin dieting since childhood.答案：D解析：第一段第一句讲“节食可能不是非做不可的事”，第二句讲“即使上了年纪再节食，我们仍然有可能在很大程度上保持青春活力”，因此，“我们必须从小就开始节食”是错误的，D是正确答案。
第二段提及“一只高龄老鼠”的时候，作者谈到，“只要连续四周限制它进食，它的肝脏基因就会变得和衰老前一样充满活力”。据此，“为了描述节食对老鼠所产生的影响”最好地回答了题干中的问题。
第四段提到，“正常饲养的老鼠随着年龄的增长有46条肝脏基因会发生变化，这种变化与炎症和有机体组织无限激增有关”，因此D正确。
第四段最后一个句子讲“但最惊人的发现是那些上了年纪才开始节食的老鼠也能从70%的基因变化中受益”。“最惊人的”自然是“最令研究人员感兴趣的”。
文章的最后两段谈及Spindler时节食的看法。首先，他不能肯定节食是否值得。其次，他希望在不久的将来，我们不必节食。所以我们可以推知，他认为节食不是得以健康长寿的好办法。 -

问答题Practice 1 Directions: Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”). You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. There was a heated discussion on whether to require every student to wear a uniform. The following are arguments from supporters of uniforms and their competitors. Supportive arguments: There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person or a seller of identification with a larger, more important concept. They say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. They also say it is helpful to build up team work ability, enhance the school's entire public image, and boost up the honor of collectiveness by wearing school uniform. Opposite arguments: Others say no one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as all individuals but only lives to function as a part of a whole. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why world parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available?正确答案： 【范文】
Opinions are divided on the issues of whether every student is required to wear a uniform. Supporters of uniforms claim that uniforms can prevent students from keeping up with the Joneses. However, opponents of uniforms argue that uniforms not only ruin individuals’ personality, but heavily damage persons’ incentive to life better.
Arguments of either side make sense. But as far as I’m concerned, uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages. Firstly, we now live in an era which advocates personality. The same school uniforms will kill children’s aesthetic development and stunt individuals’ personality, creativity and imagination. Secondly, all students wearing uniforms will make their own clothes unused, which will cause enormous waste of national resources. Thirdly, the wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a negative effect on advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers and television would not be able to remain in business. The entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
Although there still exist schools adopting the practice of uniforms, I believe they will change their ideas after they think through its disadvantages. What we should remember is that individuals’ freedom, motivation and identity will never be ignored.解析： 暂无解析
