Bats are the only mammals that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long
time for an animal their size.
European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long. They hope to make discoveries
aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings. Last week, the group of scientists said they had identified
important biological qualities in some bat species.
The group studied bat chromosomes(染色体), a line of genes found in the nucleus of cells. The scientists were
most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres. Telomeres protect
the ends of chromosomes, which shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes
cells to break down. They say this is what causes aging.The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been
gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals, the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an
average of 37 years. The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis
had telomeres that did not shorten with age.
The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats’ cells have the ability to maintain and repair their telomeres. This,
they said, helps guard against the aging process.
Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these
mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.
24. Which the following statement is right according to the text?
A. Bats live the longest time among animals.
B. European researchers want to fight the aging process in human being.
C. From the information, scientists found the greater mouse-eared bat lived the longest life in all specials.
D. Scientists have developed ways to fight aging by studying bats.
25. According to the scientists, telomeres are_____________?
A. structures which protect the ends of chromosomes.
B. genes which can be found in the nucleus of cells.
C. chromosomes which can shorten each time a cell divides.
D. aging processes.
26. According to the text, Myotis had the longest life among bats species, because_________?
A. they had telomeres that keep age processing.
B. their cells can maintain and repair their telomeres.
C. their chromosomes were more than others.
D. their telomeres cause cells to break down
答案: 24. B 25. A 26. B
解析: 本篇为说明文。科学家对蝙蝠长寿的秘密进行了研究，发现是由于染色体端粒对染色体的保护作用延
缓了分子的分裂，从而延缓衰老，达到长寿的效果。
24. B【推理判断题】A中的among mammals 范围限定错误，C 中的in all species 错误原
文是from four bat species，D中第一段提到They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in
human beings而不是已经解决了问题。
25.A【综合理解题】这题考的是对telomeres概念和功能的理解，主要出现在第三段，学生只要能发现关键词
是structures就能解答此题了。易错题
26. B【事实细节】根据第6段可以得出答案。C
A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of
disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.
The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly
40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.
Survey respondents were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among
other questions.
The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction,
while middle－aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65
and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more
satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and
death for the study period.
“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a
greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote Frieder R．Lang, a
professor at the University of Erlangen－Nuremberg.
Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about
their actions than people who expected a rosy future.
“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking
improved precautions (预防措施)，” the authors wrote.
Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health
or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related
to a greater risk of disability.
The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and
personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.
However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt
their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.
27．According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?
A．Optimistic adults.
B．Middle－aged adults.C．Adults in poor health.
D．Adults of lower income.
28．Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ________．
A．to fully enjoy their present life
B．to estimate their contribution accurately
C．to take measures against potential risks
D．to value health more highly than wealth
29．How do people of higher income see their future?
A．They will earn less money.
B．They will become pessimistic.
C．They will suffer mental illness.
D．They will have less time to enjoy life.
30．What is the clear conclusion of the study?
A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.
B．Good financial condition leads to good health.
C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.
D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.
27~30 BCAD
【要点综述】 本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述对未来过于乐观的人将面对残疾或死亡的巨大危险。在研
究中，研究人员发现，年轻人对未来过于乐观，中年人对未来的预测很准确，而老年人相对低估。随着年龄
的增长，人们对未来的预测越来越现实。
27．B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“…while middle－aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately
predicted how they would feel in the future.”知，中年人对未来预测得更准确。故B正确。
28．C 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“…people who were pessimistic about their future may be more
careful about their actions …”知，对未来悲观的人可能在行动时更小心、更谨慎。句中的be more careful about与take measures against potential risks一致。故C正确。
29．A 细节理解题。根据第八段中的“…respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated
with expecting a greater decline.”知，身体好、收入高的人认为，他们的收入在未来将会下降，即挣的钱少了。
故A正确。
30．D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容可知，研究人员认为有一点很清楚：从少年到成年，每个
人都在调整自己对未来生活的满意度，从乐观，到适度到悲观。故D正确。

Do you often go out for shopping? How to avoid germs when shopping in the grocery store? ____31____.
Firstly, go to the grocery store bright and early when they’re just opening. This might be your best option. By
avoiding large groups of people, ____32____, as the virus is mainly spread through close contact with other people.
One of the easiest ways to spread the virus is by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your face,
eyes, nose, or mouth. ____33____. This is a lot harder than it sounds, because people touch their faces more than 20
times in a single hour. While a mask can help prevent you from touching your mouth and nose, it is strongly
recommended to wear one.
____34____. This may be as simple as avoiding a crowded aisle and circling back a few minutes later. Since
other shoppers might not be as mindful as you are about maintaining social distance, be polite in your request that
they keep their distance with a polite “excuse me.”
Just as you’re being thoughtful about your own health, be thoughtful about the health of others, suggests Dr.
Larkin. “____35____, see if you can shop for them or teach them to use an online and delivery option,” she says. “Be
patient and kind with one another, especially the workers keeping the stores open and functioning—and of course, if
you are ill, please stay home and don’t expose others.”

A knock at the front door announced a visitor.Phil Radcliffe opened the door，looked down，and found a small
boy of about 10，head down and face hidden，nose sniffling(抽鼻子)，obviously in some unhappiness.
Phil and his wife Molly lived in this neighbourhood for almost three decades.The families here all knew and
trusted one another.Youngsters bounced from home to home looking for friends and entertainment.In the school
holidays，Molly and Phil had been known to take children at a time to the local cinema to give some of the parents a
break.
Having taken him to the living room and had him seated，Phil asked the boy，“Philip，what’s happened？”The boy seemed genuinely upset by the inquiry.“Sorry，Mr Radcliffe，” he sobbed，“My dad’s just left
home.He’s not going to live with us any more.Mum’s crying.It’s made me cry.I don’t think I’m going to see him
again.”
Phil sat down next to him and put a comforting arm around his shoulders，trying to reassure the youngster，
“I’m sure that you’ll see your father again very soon，Philip.You’re a lovely boy and he’ll want to see you a lot.And
your teachers will understand if sometimes you’re a bit sad.”
The boy wiped away his tears with the back of a hand.
“Let me get something for us，” Phil suggested.He went into the kitchen，and then returned with an orange
juice for the boy，a coffee for himself and a selection of biscuits for them.However upset he might have been，
young Philip was obviously happy with the drink and concentrated on the chocolate samples among the biscuits.
Once the boy seemed more settled，Phil proposed，“Perhaps you should call your mum and tell her where you
are，so that she doesn’t worry.”
“It’s OK，Mr Radcliffe，” he insisted.“I’ll go home in a few minutes.But I like talking to you.”
“You can stay as long as you want，Philip.I just don’t want your mother to think that she’s lost you.”

The response surprised and troubled Philip.He asked Phil if he would lose her one day.He was worried about
she would die and he would be without her.Phil comforted him，“Philip，please don’t worry about your mother.
She’s still young and she’ll be with you.Of course，one day，she will die—but we all will die.When that happens，
you’ll be a different person，an older person.It will be hard but you’ll manage it successfully—believe me.”
On the doorstep，young Philip looked up at his friendly neighbour.“Thank you very much，Mr Radcliffe.I feel
a bit better now.Can I call again sometime？” “Of course，” Phil promised.“Come and talk whenever you like.Molly and I love seeing you and your friends.” The boy then said very quietly，“But you might be out.Or you
might move away.” Phil cast a kind look at the boy，placed a comforting hand on his shoulder，and assured him，
“Don’t worry.Whenever you want me，I’ll be there.Whatever happens，I promise you that I’ll be your friend as
long as you trust me.”
