Despite growing life expectancy because of better nutrition, living conditions and medical care, Dutch scientists say our life cannot keep extending
38、 forever.Women can only live to a maximum of 115.7 years, they said, while men can only for 114.1 years at the most.

39、d at the age of 122 years and 164 days in 1997.Lifespan is the term used to describe how long an individual lives, while life expectancy is the average time of life that individuals in an age group can expect to have.

44、现了人类寿命的极限，男女略有不同。尽管随着生活水平和医疗水平的提高，人们的平均寿命有所上升，但是寿命的极限却难以突破。38What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?AThere existed some exceptions.BSome people doubted the findings.CSome people were shocked to hear this.DThe findings were unchallengeable.解析：选A句意理解题。根据画线句前面的内容及画线句后的“like French woman
45、Jeanne Calment who died at the age of 122 years and 164 days in 1997”可知，科学家发现女性的平均寿命上限是115.7岁，男性是114.1岁，但是一名法国的女性却活了122年又164天，这对科学家的结论来说是一种例外的情况。39Which statement is acceptable to Einmahl?AThe very oldest can live longer than before.BMedical advances can change the age ceiling.CThe upper age limit m

49、论。故选B。CIts summertime, and the fields of Yolo s of sunflowers, dutifully watching the rising sun.At the nearby University of California, Davis, plant biologists have now discovered how sunflowers use their internal circadian (生理节奏的) clock, acting on growth hormones, to follow the sun during the day
50、as they grow.“Its the first example of a plants clock adjusting growth in a natural environment, and having a real effect on the plant，” said Stacey Harmer, professor of plant biology at UC Davis.Harmer is a biologist who studies circadian clocks, usually in the lab plant Arabidopsis (拟南芥), which is
51、 apparently smaller than a sunflower.Previously, Harmers lab had discovered links between “clock” genes and the plant hormone auxin (植物激素), which regulates growth.But Harmer and Benjamin Blackman at UC Berkeley and the University of Virginia needed an example to prove, and they found it in the sunfl
52、ower.Growing sunflowers begin the day with their heads facing east, swing west through the day, and turn back to the east at night.“The plant is able to compute the timing and the direction of dawn, and to me that looks like a reason to have a connection between the clock and the growth pathway，” Ha
53、rmer said.This behavior of sunflowers had been described by scientists as far back as 1898, but no one had previously thought to associate it with the circadian clock.Hagop Atamian, a postdoctoral researcher in Harmers lab, cooperating with Blackmans lab at the University of Virginia (now at UC Berk
54、eley), carried out a series of experiments with sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors, and in indoor growth chambers (生长室)By staking (把系在桩上) the plants so that they cannot move, or turning the potted plants around daily so that they were facing the wrong way, Atamian showed that he could disturb
55、 their ability to track the sun.Following the sun provides a growth boost to the plants.Sunflowers that were staked have decreased biomass (生物量) and less leaf area than those in the field, the researchers found.When the plants were moved into an indoor growth chamber with immobile overhead lights, t
56、hey continued to swing back and forth for a few days.That is the kind of behavior you would expect from a mechanism driven by an internal clock, Harmer said.Such movements came to a complete stop after a few days.When the apparent source of lighting was moved overhead during the day, the indoor plan
57、ts did start tracking “the sun” again.The plants could reliably track the movement and turn back at night when the artificial day was close to a 24hour cycle.语篇解读：本文为一篇科普说明文。向日葵可以利用内在的生物钟，在其生长激素的作用下，调节面朝太阳的方向。那么向日葵的这种时钟基因和其植物激素之间是怎样的联系呢？41What do Harmer and Blackman want to find out about sunflowers
58、?AWhether they can move flexibly to follow the sun.BWhether they have a regular inner biological clock.CWhether their inner hormone auxin can speed their growth.DWhether their clock and hormone auxin can affect each other.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Previously, Harmers lab had discovered links between clock
59、genes and the plant hormone auxin (植物激素) . they found it in the sunflower”可知，他们想要找到一个例证来证明他们先前在拟南芥上的发现，而通过对向日葵的实验，他们发现了向日葵自身的生物钟与植物激素之间的关系。第四段中的“to me that looks like a reason to have a connection between the clock and the growth pathway”和最后两段对实验内容的阐述亦是关键提示。42Which is closest in meaning to the under
60、lined word “compute”？ANeglect. BCalculate.CPredict. DInfluence.解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“how sunflowers use their internal circadian (生理节奏的) clock, acting on growth hormones, to follow the sun during the day as they grow”和第三段的内容可知，向日葵可以根据自身内部的生物钟调整自己，从而能跟随一天中太阳的方向进行移动，故画线词所在分句表示的是这种植物(向日葵)可以计算出黎明的时间和方向，cal
61、culate“计算”同画线词compute含义相近。43What will happen when the sunflowers ability to track the sun is disturbed?AThey will not move any more.BThey will die immediately.CTheir growth will be restricted.DTheir leaves will fall out soon.解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容，尤其是“Sunflowers that were staked have decreased biomas
62、s (生物量) and less leaf area than those in the field”可知，被系在木桩上的向日葵由于其追踪太阳的能力被干扰，相对于野外生长的向日葵，它们的生物量减少，叶面积减小，即它们的生长受到了制约，故选C。44How are the last two paragraphs mainly developed?ABy giving examples.BBy making comparisons.CBy analyzing cause and effect.DBy describing experiments.解析：选D写作手法题。根据第五段“carried ou
63、t a series of experiments with sunflowers in the field”及最后两段具体阐述的实验内容可知，最后两段主要是通过阐述实验的内容展开的。故选D。DFeeding 5,000 people every month is a tall order. For Lauren Puryear single mother, fulltime mental health therapist, and founder of the nonprofit For the Love of Others the secret ingredient is coupons

70、 culinary giving from her grandmother Marion Smith. When Smith saw panhandlers (街头乞丐) on the streets of Paterson, New Jersey, she would offer to buy them food instead of giving them money.Puryear got into the act when she was ten. If there were leftovers from dinner, Smith would put them in a contai
71、ner and give her granddaughter instructions: “Now run outside and bring this to the homeless man on the street.” When Puryear founded her nonprofit, she chose the name For the Love of Others to honor her grandmother, who passed away in 2012. “Love was just the central core of her being，” Puryear say
72、s.Nana would certainly be proud of her granddaughters efforts and her impact. At one meal in Baltimore, three boys asked if they could take extra sandwiches. “Well eat this today, but well be hungry tomorrow，” one said. Puryear let them take five each. The boys crying mother thanked Puryear, explain
73、ing how she uses her entire paycheck for the hotel room where they live. They never know what they will eat day to day.“Stories like that, thats why we do what we do，” Puryear says. “To know that something as simple as couponing, which takes a couple of hours out of my day, can help somebody eat for
74、 three or four days thats amazing to me.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了Lauren Puryear利用优惠券做慈善的感人事迹。45Why are the meals offered to the homeless by Puryear considered “impressive”？AThey take a rather long time to cook.BThey are sent to the poor nationwide.CThey consist of various green food.DThey come in a great
75、 many varieties.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Spaghetti and meatballs, rotisserie chickens with vegetables, meaty sandwiches”“serving hearty dishes”“She offers them different kinds of food”可知，作者之所以说Puryear的食物本身令人印象深刻是因为其种类的多样性。故选D。46What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?APuryear feeds thousands

77、画线句表示的是Puryear以非常低的成本为无家可归者提供食物，故选A。47Where should the sentence “The cooking is done onsite, usually in a kitchen donated by a homeless shelter or soup kitchen.” be placed?A BC D解析：选D推理判断题。根据第三至六段中作者对Puryear做慈善的流程介绍，尤其是其中的“starts”“Then”“Lastly”等关键词可知，Puryear做慈善的步骤依次是：剪辑优惠券购买食材将烹饪好的食物提供给无家可归者。而题干中所给的
78、句子指的是食物的烹饪过程，故该句应放在“购买食材”之后，“将烹饪好的食物提供给无家可归者”之前，故该句最适合放在第处。48What kind of person is Marion Smith?ACompetent and positive.BDetermined and selfish.CGenerous and sympathetic.DAmbitious and considerate.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第七段中的“When Smith saw panhandlers (街头乞丐) on the streets of Paterson, New Jersey, she would

In some regions, such as southern England, floods are now occurring 15 days earlier than they did half a centur
83、y ago. But the changes arent uniform, with rivers around the North Sea seeing floods delayed by around eight days.Floods caused by rivers impact people more than any other natural disaster, and the estimated global damages run to over 100 billion dollars a year. Researchers have long predicted that
84、a warming world would have direct impacts on these events but until now the evidence has been hard to establish. Floods are affected by many different factors in addition to rainfall, such as the amount of moisture (水分) already in the soil and other factors such as changes in landuse that can speed

The analysis finds a clear but complex impact of climate change on river flooding. The most
86、consistent changes are in northeastern Europe around Scandinavia where earlier snow melt due to warmer temperatures is leading to earlier spring floods. Around 50% of monitoring stations are seeing floods eight days earlier than 50 years ago.The biggest changes are seen along the western edge of Eur
87、ope, from Portugal up to southern England. Half the stations recorded floods at least 15 days earlier than previously. A quarter of the stations have seen flooding more than 36 days earlier than in 1960. In these regions, the issue isnt snow melt its more about soil of high humidity (湿度). Maximum ra

Heavier and earlier rain means that the groundwater reaches capacity earlier.In southern England, it has been raining more, longer and more intensely than in the past. This has created a rising groundwater table and higher soil moistu

The scientists believe this is due to changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the weather phenomen

Recent, rapid changes in temperatures in the Arctic are influencing these pressure levels and changing the track of the storms as well. Accordin
91、g to this study, the storms are arriving later and as a result, some river flooding happens later too.
