一、阅读理解（每题2分共24分）
A
How long could we live in the future?
Late last year, US researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research gave a very exciting answer: 500 years.
Think about it.If that had been the case many years ago, a person could have lived from the Ming Dynasty until now.
But that idea was challenged by scientists at a recent medical conference in the UK, The Times reported.
Speaking at the conference, British neurobiologist (神经生物学家) Sir Colin Blakemore, 70, claimed there is a limit on how long humans can live, and how much the body can age.
Instead of 500 years, 120 years “might be a real absolute limit to human lifespan (寿命)”， he said.
His estimate was based on current statistics (数据) and a look at medical effects.
The number of people living past 100 in the world has increased by 71 percent in the past decade, the Daily Mail reported.Blakemore agreed that this figure would continue to rise.But people living for longer than 120 years is “so rarely exceeded (超过)” that, even with medical and technological progress, it is unlikely that we can expect more than that, he said.
His claims contradict (与……矛盾) those made previously by researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research in California.
In 2013, they changed two genetic (基因的) pathways in a tiny worm, and the creature lived life five times as long as a normal one. ①
If that technology could one day be used on human beings, it could extend (延长) human lives to 500 years, the Daily Mail reported. ②
But no matter which number is the ceiling (上限) for our lifespans, 120 or 500 years, it would take years for scientists to make that true for most people. ③
On Oct.21, the Gerontological Society of China published a report on centenarians (百岁老人) in China.There are 58，789 people above the age of 100 now in our country, with the oldest being 128 years old. ④
And by looking at these people's lifestyles, the society worked out a recipe (秘诀) for a long life: outdoor activities, more communication with others, and a healthy diet containing lots of fruit, vegetables, and low?fat food.
So how long do you think you could live? If you play your part, your answer could be a satisfying one.
1．Which of the following statements does Sir Colin Blakemore agree with?
A．It's impossible for humans to live past 120 years.
B．It's possible to expand humans' lives to 500 years.
C．More people are expected to live past 100 years.
D．Chinese people live the healthiest way of life.
2．The following sentence “We don't have to completely rely on scientific breakthroughs to live a longer life, however.” can be placed in ．
A．① B．②
C．③ D．④
3．According to the passage, people may not live longer if they ．
A．take part in outdoor activities
B．take in high?fat food
C．develop a healthy lifestyle
D．talk with others more
4．What might be the best title of this passage?
A．Future lives “shortened”
B．500 years, not a dream
C．120 years, the limit ceiling
D．Future lives “extended”
B
If you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer then why not try your hand at dancing?
That's exactly what I did five years ago and I immediately fell in love with dancing.To me, dancing is a magical experience: I've become fitter, look younger and feel more confident.I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.
It's very sociable as well.You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away.Haven't you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled (重燃) old ones? My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.
The word “Ceroc” comes from the French language.Without the complicated footwork, it is easier to pick up by beginners.Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don't have to bring a dancing partner.
Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.
No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is for sure: you will become fitter.For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen.It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination (协调) and increases your physical confidence.
Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor.The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction (交流)．As long as you do the right moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly keep an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner!
5．What do we know about the writer?
A．He has two left feet and dances with hands.
B．He learns magic while dancing.
C．He becomes younger after dancing.
D．He shows a keen interest in dancing.
6．The writer mentions his friend's big day in order to ．
A．suggest that marriage is good for young people
B．show that dancing can help social relationship
学校 —————————— 班级—————————— 姓名 —————————— 分数——————————

C
Once there was an 11?year?old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of the Finger Lake.On the day before salmon (鲑鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms.Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake.Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure.His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank.Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water.It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a salmon.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 p．m. — two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy.“You'll have to put it back, son.” he said.
“Dad！” cried the boy, “There will be other fish，” said his father.“Not as big as this one，” cried the boy.He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight.He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed.He threw the huge salmon into the dark water.The big fish disappeared.The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago.Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City.He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right.He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago.But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (伦理的，道德的) decision to make.For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
9．What happened when the big fish turned out to be a salmon?
A．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B．The boy threw the salmon back into the water willingly.
C．The father lit a match in order to check the time.
D．They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.
10．From the text we know that the father ．
A．didn't love his son
B．always disagreed with his son
C．disliked the huge fish
D．was firm and principled
11．The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because ．
A．they might catch a big fish there
B．he was taught a moral lesson there
C．it was a most popular fishing spot
D．their children enjoyed fishing there
12．What does the story imply?
A．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B．An ethical decision is always easy to make.
C．It's hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D．Fishing can help one to make right decisions.
