             If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

But why not start now?

  • 3. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.

            The lives ofthese people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

    “I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I've been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don't see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

    “I wantedto show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

    His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.

    (1)、Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?  

    A、They seldom follow the French law. B、They often ignore the Guianese law. C、They are separated from the modern world. D、They are both Guianese and French citizens.
    (2)、Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________. 

    A、a tour guide B、a geographer C、a film director D、a photographer
    (3)、What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?

    A、Cautious. B、Doubtful. C、Uninterested. D、Appreciative.
    (4)、What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

    A、The modern French lifestyle. B、The self-supporting hunting. C、The uncivilized hunting. D、The French Republic.
  • 4. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

           Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

           The study,by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

           Those givennight milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

           Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

           While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

    Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

           Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

    (1)、According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.     

    A、started sleep more easily B、were more anxious C、were less active D、woke up later
    (2)、Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? 

    A、It's been tested on mice for ten years B、It can make people more energetic C、It exists in milk in great amount D、It's used in sleeping drugs
    (3)、What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A、Night Milk and Sleep  B、Fat Sugar and Health C、An Experiment on Mice D、Milk Drinking and Health
    (4)、How does the author support the theme of the text?     

    A、By giving examples. B、By stating arguments. C、By explaining statistical data. D、By providing research results.

            Both men and women are living longer thesedays in industrialized countries.  In general, they can expect to live six or sevenyears more than men. One reason for this is biological.

            One important biological factorthat helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women producehormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart andblood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to diefrom heart attacks.

     

      Theyhelp the body defend itselfagainst some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick lessoften and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, onaverage, get fewer colds than men.

    Scientists are still not exactly sure howinfluence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman's body cellshave a tendency(向) to age more slowlythan a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.

    A. However, women, on average, live longer.

    B.The biological factor plays an important part.

    C.Women are also helped by their female genes.

    D.The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

    E.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

    F.Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
