D【解析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，老年人更加关注积极的事情。文章从进化角度分析了产生这一现象的理论基础。【46题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：解释这一现象的主流心理学理论是，老年人意识到自己剩下的时间有限，所以他们会优先考虑积极的情感体验。A. switch 改变，转换；B. energize 给增添能量；C. prioritize 优先处理，优
72、先考虑；D. undergo 经历，经受。根据第一段中的“older peoples increased positive outlook”可知，老年人的人生观更为积极。由此可知，当他们意识到自己的时间有限的时候，他们会“优先考虑”积极的情感体验。故选C。【47题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但是大约十年前，我和生物学家罗伯特特里弗斯一起研究他的观点，他认为老年人越来越积极的人生观是有进化基础的。A. regular 定期的，有规律的；B. evolutionary 进化的，发展的； C. solid 固体的；D. fundamental 基本的，根本的。根据第二段中的“When our 4
73、 evolved to run in maximum amounts”可知，从第二段到最后一段，作者从进化的角度分析了Robert Trivers的理论。由此可知，老年人越来越积极的人生观是有进化基础的。故选B。【48题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们的研究将我们带向了探索人体如何利用能量的迷人的方向。A. uses 使用；B. squeezes 榨出，挤出；C. spreads 传播，散布；D. classifies 将分类。根据第二段中的“when our 4 needed more energy”和第三段中的“when our body needs extra energy, one
74、of the places it goes is our immune function”可知，作者从第二段到第三段分析了我们的身体需要能量的时候能量的来源。该句是对下文内容的总结，由此可知，该处应指身体如何“使用”它的能量。故选A。【49题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我们的祖先在被老虎追赶时需要比平时更多的能量时，他们不得不从身体的某个地方获取能量。A. bodies 身体；B. generations 代；C. ancestors 祖先；D. seniors 较年长的人。根据第一段内容可知，作者从进化论的角度分析我们对身体能量的使用。再结合第7小题前面的“our ancestors”可
75、以推知，该句应该是从我们的“祖先”开始分析这个问题。故选C。【50题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：由于这种持续的能量需求，当我们的需求超过可用的供应时，我们就无法选择从大脑借用能量。A. surpasses 超越，胜过；B. meets 相遇；C. responds 响应，做出反应；D. requires 要求，需要。根据前面的“Due to this constant energy requirement”和后面的“Perhaps we could borrow energy from our muscles”可知，人们对大脑的能量需求持续不断，那么，在大脑不能提供所需能量的时候，我们就需要
76、从我们的肌肉来获取能量。故该处应指当我们的需求“超过”可用的供应时，从大脑来借用能量就不是一个好的选择了。故选A。【51题详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：因为我们在活跃的时候比休息的时候消耗更多的肌肉能量，所以原则上我们可以在坐着的时候借用能量。A. at random 胡乱地，随意地；B. in principle 大体上，原则上；C. at times 有时候；D. in case 以防，万一。根据前面的“Because we use far more muscle energy when we are active than when at rest”可知，我们在活跃的时候比休息的时候消耗
77、更多的肌肉能量。由此可知，根据这个原则，坐着的时候身体不那么活跃，所以我们可以在坐着的时候借用能量。故选B。【52题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：但问题是，我们祖先的大多数需要能量的紧急情况都需要肌肉的反应。A. rejected 拒绝；B. neglected 忽视，忽略；C. expected 期望，预料；D. required 要求，需要。第二段开头提到“被老虎追赶”的情景。根据常识，被老虎追赶时，人需要快速跑动，这就“需要”肌肉的反应。故选D。【53题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在紧急情况下，我们无法从肌肉中借用能量，因为老虎出现时放松并不是一种有效的反应。A. objective
78、 客观的；B. effective 有效的；C. emergent 新兴的，处于发展初期的；D. negative 消极的，否定的。老虎出现时，肌肉处于放松状态的话，就不能帮助人们快速逃跑。因此，放松并不是一种“有效的”反应。故选B。【54题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这就涉及到我们的免疫系统，当免疫系统具有防御功能时，它会保护我们免受许多疾病的侵袭。A. vulnerable 脆弱的，易受伤害的；B. efficient 有效率的，高效的；C. defensive 防御性的，自卫的；D. strong 强壮的。根据后面的“protects us from many illnesses a
79、nd diseases”可知，免疫系统可以保护人们免受很多疾病的侵袭，也就是说，它具有“防御功能”。故选C。【55题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：和大脑一样，免疫系统也要付出巨大的代谢代价，但在很大程度上是为了让我们在未来保持健康。A. service 服务；B. basis 基础，根据；C. search 搜寻；D. shift 转移，改变。免疫系统主要是让人们在未来保持健康，这是它对人体做出的“服务”。故选A。【56题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们有大量的免疫细胞流经我们的身体，暂时停止生产是没问题的。A. momentary 瞬间的，短暂的；B. voluntary 自愿的；C.
80、energetic 精力充沛的；D. intensive 集中的，加强的。根据前面的“We have an enormous number of immune cells coursing through our body”可知，流经我们身体的免疫细胞非常多，因此，免疫细胞“暂时”停止生产是可以的。故选A。【57题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：你所需要的是把所有可用的能量转移到你的腿上，希望你能活下去，再经历一次咳嗽或打喷嚏。A. submit 提交，呈递，使服从；B. activate 刺激，激活；C. shift 转移，变换；D. accumulate 积累，积聚。根据前面的“When y
81、oure being chased by a tiger, you dont need to waste energy making immune cells to fight off tomorrows cold”可知，当你被老虎追赶时，你不需要浪费能量制造免疫细胞来抵御明天的感冒。因此，这时我们需要做的就是把可用的能量“转移”到腿上，提高逃跑的速度。故选C。【58题详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：结果，我们的免疫系统进化到当我们快乐的时候最大限度地运转，而当我们不快乐的时候，免疫系统就会急剧减速。A. In the meantime 其间，同时；B. On the contrary 相反地；
82、C. In the end 终于，最后；D. As a result 结果。根据后面的“our immune system evolved to run in maximum amounts when were happy, but to slow down dramatically when were not”可知，该句叙述的是免疫系统进化的结果：当我们快乐的时候最大限度地运转，而当我们不快乐的时候，免疫系统就会急剧减速。故选D。【59题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：有了这样的背景，特里夫斯假设老年人进化出一种策略来彻底改变这种关系，变得更加关注生活中积极的事情，以努力增强他们的免疫功能。A
83、. addicted to 沉迷于；B. free of 无的，摆脱的；C. focused on 集中于上；D. enthusiastic about 对热心。根据后面的“in an effort to enhance their immune functioning”可知，老年人为了提高免疫功能，他们更加“关注”生活中积极的事情。故选C。【60题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这得益于他们比年轻人更了解世界，所以他们可以更容易地处理生活中的一些令人沮丧的事情。A. emotional 情绪的；B. crucial 至关重要的；C. unforgettable 令人难忘的；D. depres
84、sing 令人沮丧的。根据前面的“their knowing much more about the world than younger adults”可知，老年人比青年人更了解世界，由此可知，老年人更关注生活中积极的事情，他们更容易处理生活中“令人沮丧的”事情。故选D。(B)Face shape lets AI spot rare disordersPeople with genetic syndromes sometimes have revealing facial features but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis

With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with
115、 a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back”And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road
116、 which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return!

131、ungs) Day is on Saturday March 24th.Tuberculosis was once terribly fashionable. Dying of “consumption” seems to have been a favorite activity of garret-dwelling 19th-century artists, has, however, been neglected of late. Researchers in the field never tire of pointing out that TB kills a lot of peop
132、le. According to figures released earlier this week by the World Health Organization, 1.6 million people died of the disease in 2005, compared with about 3m for AIDS and 1m for malaria. But it receives only a fraction of the research budget devoted to AIDS. Americas National Institutes of Health, fo
133、r example, spends 20 times as much on AIDS as on TB. Nevertheless, everyone seems to getting in on the TB-day act this year.The Global Fund an international organization responsible fur fighting all three diseases but best known for its work on AIDS, has used the occasion to trumpet its tuberculosis
134、 projects. The fund claims that its anti-TB activities since it opened for business in 2002 have saved the lives of over 1m people. The World Health Organization has issued a report that contains some good news. Although the number of TB cases is still rising, the rate of illness seems to have stabi
135、lized; the caseload, in other words, is growing only because the population itself is going up.Even drug companies are involved. In the run-up to the day itself, Eli Lilly announced a $ 50m boost to its MDRTB Global Partnership. MDR stands for multi-drug resistance, and it is one of the reasons why
136、TB is back in the limelight. Careless treatment has caused drug-resistant strains to evolve all over the world. The course of drugs needed to clear the disease completely takes six mouths, anti persuading people to stay that course once their symptoms have gone is hard. Unfortunately, those infected
137、 with MDR have to be treated with less effective, more poisonous and more costly drugs. Naturally, these provoke still more. non-compliance and thus still more evolution.The other reason TB is back is its relationship to AIDS. The (global Funds joint responsibility for the diseases is no coincidence
138、. AIDS does not kill directly. Rather, HIV, the virus that causes it, weakens the bodys immune system and exposes the sufferer to secondary infections. Of these, TB is one of the most serious. It kills 200 000 AIDS patients a year. However, some anti-TB drugs interfere with the effect of some anti-H
139、IV drugs. Conversely, in about 20% of cases where a patient has both diseases, anti-HIV drugs make the tuberculosis worse. The upshot is that 125 years after human beings worked out what caused TB, it is still a serious threat.83. The first sentence “Like every dog, every disease now seems to have i
140、ts day.” means _.A. every dog enjoys good luck or success sooner or laterB. human beings can deal with problems caused by diseaseC. Tuberculosis becomes a serious infection diseaseD. people attach importance to Tuberculosis recently84. By referring to AIDS in Paragraph 2, the author intends to show
141、_.A. the US government is reluctant to spend millions of dollars on TuberculosisB. the death rate of AIDS is higher than that of TuberculosisC. the officials didnt pay much attention to the research of Tuberculosis in the pastD. compared with AIDS, Tuberculosis can be cured effectively85.

B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了结核病卷土重来的两个原因被人们忽视以及它和艾滋病间的关系（抗艾滋病药物会使结核病恶化）。【83题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“World Tuberculosis (infections disease in which growths appear on the lungs) Day is on Saturday March 24th.”可知，3月24日星期六是世界结核病日，这说明人们对这种病足够重视才专门把一天
144、定为结核病日，由此可知这句话的意思是：近年来，结核病越来越受到人们的重视，故D项正确。【84题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Tuberculosis was once terribly fashionablehowever, been neglected of late. Researchers in the field never tire of pointing out that TB kills a lot of people. According to figures released earlier this week by the World Health Organizati
145、on, 1.6 million people died of the disease in 2005, compared with about 3m for AIDS and 1m for malaria. But it receives only a fraction of the research budget devoted to AIDS.”可知，肺结核原来很流行，但现在被人忽视，死亡人数比艾滋病少，研究经费也远远少于艾滋病，这说明结核病比艾滋病更容易有效地治愈，由此可知第二段中提到艾滋病是为了说明与艾滋病相比，肺结核是可以有效治愈的，故D项正确。【85题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前
146、的“Conversely, in about 20% of cases where a patient has both diseases, anti-HIV drugs make the tuberculosis worse.”可知，相反，在大约20%的患者同时患有两种疾病的情况下，抗艾滋病毒药物会使结核病恶化，因此此处是说结果是，在人类找出结核病的病因125年后，它仍然是一个严重的威胁，由此可知画线词词义为“结果”，故A项正确。【86题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是第二段中的“Tuberculosis was once terribly fashionable. has, howe
147、ver, been neglected of late.”及最后一段中的“The other reason TB is back is its relationship to AIDS.”可知，本文主要介绍的是结核病卷土重来的两个原因被人们忽视以及它和艾滋病间的关系（抗艾滋病药物会使结核病恶化），因此本文主要是想告诉我们结核病只是被人们忽视了，它还是人类健康的一大威胁，故B项正确。【点睛】本篇第4题难度较大，抓住文章主题是关键，根据文章内容，特别是第二段中的“Tuberculosis was once terribly fashionable. has, however, been negle
148、cted of late.”及最后一段中的“The other reason TB is back is its relationship to AIDS.”可知，本文主要介绍的是结核病卷土重来的两个原因被人们忽视以及它和艾滋病间的关系（抗艾滋病药物会使结核病恶化），因此本文主要是想告诉我们结核病只是被人们忽视了，它还是人类健康的一大威胁，故B项（只是被遗忘，并未离去）符合文章主旨。(D)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

158、surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teens, is to raise taxes.【答案】87. D 88. F 89. A 90. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。美国禁烟运动已经进行了50年，而且仍在继续，它是美国公共健康领域最成功的故事之一但并不是对所有人都适用。文章主要说明了美国的历史上对禁烟所采取的一些措施。【87题详解】根据下一段Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was
159、started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon Generals Report on Smoking and Health.可知，他们的失败是1964年1月11日，首位卫生局局长关于吸烟与健康的报告，这是开始拯救生命的努力中最大的失望。由此可知，本句是在列举一些忽视了吸烟是致命的美国地方州。故D项“但肯塔基州、南达科他州和阿拉巴马州等一些州似乎忽视了吸烟是致命的这一信息”承上启下，故选D。【88题详解】根据后文If you can stop them from smoking, youve won the war. Few people start
160、 smoking after turning eighteen.可知，如果你能阻止他们吸烟，你就赢得了这场战争。很少有人在十八岁以后开始抽烟。故F项：“但是最可靠的防止吸烟的方法，尤其是对价格敏感的青少年，是提高税收”说明要防止青少年吸烟的方法是提高税收，从而导致烟的价格增高，防止青少年吸烟，与后文Few people start smoking after turning eighteen.呼应。故选F。【89题详解】根据后文The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $2. 42 on e
161、very pack -three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.可知，成人吸烟率最低的10个州平均征收2美元的烟草税。每包42美元是吸烟率最高的州平均税收的三倍。由此可知，后文列举了许多州都实行了对烟草征税，是征税强有力的现实证据。故A项“对征税的现实证据是有力的”符合上下文语境，故选A。【90题详解】根据上文Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately
162、on the poor.(高烟草税的反对者们坚持认为，高烟草税不成比例地落在了穷人身上。)以及后文The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.可知，当税收被用于资助帮助吸烟者戒烟或劝说青少年不要吸烟的活动时，税收的效果会进一步放大。由此可推知，本句是在将吸烟和税收的影响进行对比，相对而言，吸烟的致命影响比税收严重的多。故C选项“是的，但吸烟的致命影响也是
163、如此，远比征税更严重”符合上下文语境，故选C。VI.
