80、estion。4D。达芬奇应是世人所知道的天才中最伟大的人，the world 一般指每个人，相当于第三人称单数，故people为正确选项。5D。draw和paint不合文意, work为不及物动词，不能直接接宾语。在那个时代，达芬奇所不能做的应是制造飞机，故选择build。6B。这一句起承上启下的作用，意为“达芬奇不仅仅是一名发明家”，故选择 wasnt just。7C。less和no不合文章，very不能用来修饰比较级，而even常用来修饰比较级，意为“甚至更”，故为正确选项。8A。为了使自己的画达到最高境界，应在画这幅画之前去尝试不同的画法，所以应选before。9B。达芬奇的画今天依然
81、保存在世，为本文作者以及读者所共享，所以应选us。10C。达芬奇的名作Mona Lisa以画中人物面部神秘的微笑而名扬天下，故选smiling。7Once, a king showed two men a large basket in the garden. He told them to fill it with water from a well. After they _1_ their work, he left them, saying, “When the sun is down, I will come and see your work.”At last one of the
82、m said, “Whats the use of doing this foolish work? We can _2_ fill the basket.” _3_ man answered, “That is none of your business.” The first man said. “You may do as you like, but I am not going to work at _4_ so foolish.” He _5_ his bucket and went away. The other man said no word, and kept on carr

86、选择never。3A。两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。4C。the first man想离开，因为他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。5D。pick up意为“捡起”，pick away意为“放好”，take away意为“取走”，而throw down意为“扔掉、丢弃”，比较贴近文意，为正确选项。6A。根据文意，另一个人一直在打水，故选water。7B。不停地打水必然会导致井空，故选empty。8B。while引导从句时，从句应用延续性动词，before和since不符合文意，as soon as表示“一就”为正确选项。9A。国王是因为这个诚实的
87、人所做过的事情而表扬他，所以应用完成时态have done。10D。国王讲的最后一句话是含有 “sothat”结构的复合句，意为“如此以致”故选that。8Food is very important. Everyone needs to _1_ well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our minds also need a kind of food. This kind of food is _2_. We begin to get knowledge even _3_ we are very young. Small childre

91、ing 答案简析1D。本句承接上文，进一步强调食物的重要性，要有强壮的体魄得吃得好，故选eat。2C。根据下文，大脑所需要的食物应为knowledge。3B。按常理一个人在小的时候就开始学习了，所以应用when引导这里的时间状语从句。4A。小孩对知识的接受主要依靠于他们对事物产生的兴趣，词组be interested in sth 表示“对感兴趣”，而interesting用来形容令人感兴趣的事物，故选择interested。5B。孩子们在耳听眼观的过程中经常会学到一些东西。everything过于绝对化 ，nothing、anything 不合文意，应选 something。6B。随着年龄的
92、增长，孩子们开始read各类书籍而不是write，learn在这里搭配不当。7A。孩子们在学习过程中发现问题时，由于求知的欲望，应尽力去解决问题，故选择try。8C。本段主要就学习方法展开讨论，该句应为总括句，空白处当然应填入ways。9D。与后面的方法比起来，作者认为独立自主的学习为最佳方法，最佳方法当然应使人获得最多的知识，故选择the most。10B。be always doing sth 意为“总是干某事”。9Someone says, “Time is money.” But I think time is _1_ important than money.

97、, drinking 相提并论，故选playing。8D。根据文意，浪费时间就是浪费自己的生命，故选life。9B。leave意为“留下，剩下”。根据文意，我们不能把今天的事留到明天做，故选 leave。10A。这里表示浪费时间，故选lose。10Nasreddin was a poor man, so he tried to grow _1_ he could in his own garden, so that he would not have to buy so many in the market.One evening he heard a noise in his garden

103、为正确选项。2A。过去进行时强调过去正在进行的动作，根据文意Nasreddin看到牛正在吃蔬菜，故选 was eating 。3D。指过去某一天的第一天或第二天早上、晚上，应用the next day/morning/evening。 故应选The next morning 。4C。在从句动作进行的过程中，主句动作发生了，这时从句常用进行时态，故选择was walking 。5B。牛吃蔬菜是贫农上街之前的事，文章本身讲的是过去的故事，指过去的过去应用过去完成时，故选had eaten。6A。从句子意思看，空白处前后构成因果关系，故选择so。7B。形容词nearby一般作定语，表示“不远的，附近
104、的”，合乎文意，为正确选项。8D。这里需要一个引导词，引导saw的宾语从句，同时在句子里作do的宾语，故选 what。9B。do sth. to sb.结构中to后面常接动作的对象。10C。牛主人问及Nasreddin打牛的原因，这里需要一个引导词引导 knew的宾语从句，且在从句中作状语，根据上文可知这里应填 why。三三、阅读理解（共10题 周庄高级中学）1In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who lived those years with us. In fact, we dont have to
105、 wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closest to us and the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the worlds happiness.Say
106、ing thanks not only brightens someone elses world, it brightens yours. If youre feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need. Of course, there are times when you cant express gratitude immediately. In that case, dont let embarrassment s
107、ink you into silence and speak up the first time you have the chance.Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish(教区)of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had unusual generos
108、ity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks. I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would
109、we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around usincluding ourselves.

It was at 102.55 yen, little changed from New York after touching 102.37, a level not seen since March 2000, in London. Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki repeated hi

Almost 20 percent of this area is wel
120、l below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha” the land of fire. Death Valleys present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada
121、 became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several wellmarked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardl
122、y ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, everchanging as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil s Golf Course,
123、where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 9. _ is the lowest place in the desert.

125、tion is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资
126、源) of the government. Using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked dow
127、n upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. If students have to pay for their educati
128、on, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate. Many people believe that higher education sho
129、uld be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should al
130、so believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.12. The underlined word them in Paragra
131、ph 2 refers to A. taxpayers B. pressing calls C. college graduates D. government resources 13. The author thinks that with full government funding A. teachers are less satisfied B. students are more demanding C. students will become more competent D. teachers will spend less time on teaching14.

About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityDo not leave your

135、ack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.Marking Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bi

A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolen B. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safe C. to give you advice on where to buy a
140、good lock D. to say why you shouldnt keep your bicycle in a quiet place6Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of wor
141、ds. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time ofr which the eyes stop -the duration of the fixation -varies considerably from person to person. It also vaies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, i
142、t can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have b
143、een devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Suc
144、h word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read
145、a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem un
146、likely to help him in reading a continuous text.19. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except _ .A. ones familiarity with the textB. ones purpose in readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness20. The author may believe that reading _.A. requ

148、e his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second parapraph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.C. The reading exercises mentioned cant help to
149、improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve ones ability to see words.22. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The e

Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “Were moving house.” “No space for her any
158、more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” Pepole find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs i had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If i had known what was going to happen i would have g
159、iven her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There are nothing i could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owners. But eventually at the end of the
160、 firest week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. Thats why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Even
161、tually i couldnt hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time i reached the farm i was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when i saw her licking(舔) the four puppies(幼犬), i started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didnt
162、 know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her. I must admit i do miss Goldie, but ive got Nugget now, and s

165、ier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping
166、power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20
167、 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.

181、e Mountains答案及解析：（一）1D。由第一段the one who lived those years with us和the ones closest to us可知，选D项“我们的家人和朋友”。2B。由第二段第一句Saying thanks not only brightens some elses world, it brightens yours.可知选B项。3C。第三段主要讲述了“我们可以用多种方式表达感谢”。4A。由最后一段第一句Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that.including ourselves，可知
182、选A项。（二）5. A。推理判断题。前面讲的是美元贬值，所以此处的the greenback应该指的是美元。6. C。推理判断题。日本财政部长反复警告美元贬值，并威胁说要采取行动抵制突如其来的变化，由此可见他非常担心。7. A。猜测词义题。根据上文日本财政部长的反应及下文JeanClaude Trichet所要采取的行动可判断此项正确。8. D。细节理解题。根据第五段可知。（三）本文介绍了美国的一个著名沙漠“死亡谷”名称的由来以及 “死亡谷”奇特的风光。9. D。细节题。根据.and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below se
183、a level and the lowest point in the United States.可推知此题答案为 D。10.

C。细节题。根据.where it seems hard for one to tell reality f
184、rom terrible dreams.可推知答案为 C。（四）12. 答案B 推断代词所指，较难题。There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. 往前看，发现前句就一个复数名词，就它了。13. 答案D 细节理解题，简单题。根据题干关键词full government funding定位原文，
185、根据文题顺序一致原则从上一题them后面去找，会找到Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities.and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. lazy转换成spendless time不难得出正确选项。14.A 结构推断题，简单题。题目问提到business有什么目的，就等于问议论文中的论据有什么用，地球人都知道：支持论点。马上从本段段首找论点：Many people believe that
186、 higher education should be free从全文的哪都可以看出作者就是要反对free higher education.（五） 此文为说明文。介绍了防止自行车被盗的几条措施。15. D 细节理解题。文章第二段basic security中写到：Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees.故选D。16. C 猜测词义题。在marking一段中讲述了秘密标记的作用。对于小偷来说当然是起防盗作用了，故选C。17. D 细节理解题。文章最后一段：keep a record of
187、the bicycle yourself: its mark据此可知D为正确答案。18. B 主旨大意题。可根据此文的语篇解读推断选B。（六）解题思路19 C。事实细节题。第一段提到了影响视幅的因素：不同的人，不同的阅读目的，对材料的熟悉程度，光线，疲劳。C“一组词的长度”不是能影响视幅的因素，是本题的答案。20 C。观点态度题。作者在第二段第二句提到，眼睛训练课程只注重了阅读的视觉因素。倒数第二句书哦，阅读要求具备理解单词间关系的能力。因此选项C“阅读需要大脑的深度参与”正确。作者没有否定阅读的视觉因素的必要性，但是也没有说读者应该练习拓宽视幅，加快阅读速度。所以AB两项都不正确。作者没有对
188、大脑和眼睛在阅读过程中的重要性进行对比，所以不选D21 C。 作者在这句话中先是肯定了那些阅读练习提高看单词的能力，然后提出了有效阅读概念。后面句中还指出，有效阅读需要的是理解单词间的联系的能力。所以作者的意思应该是那些(训练眼睛的)阅读练习对与有效的阅读无益。B与文章相反。D句是蕴涵其中一个意思，却不是作者想表达的方向。22 D。 第二段最后一句说，眼睛训练对于帮助读者阅读连贯文章无益，所以D是错的，是本题答案。23 A。 参考前面的结构剖析，作者写本文的主要目的是对那些只关注阅读的视觉因素的阅读能力课程进行批判，所以答案应该是A。（七） 本文是一篇广告，主要介绍了RichardSolo 1
189、800可充电电池。文章是从RichardSolo 1800的充电方式、充电时间、使用寿命等方面进行了介绍，并且引用顾客的评论来说明RichardSolo 1800的服务好，已引起了人们的注意。24. A 细节理解题。由第一段第一句“Just plug RichardSolo 1800 into your iPhone once or twice a day, for fifteen minutes, and keep your iPhone charged up.”可得出答案为A项。25. C 细节理解题。从广告中RichardSolo 1800 Rechargeable Battery可得知
190、这种电池可用于充电。26. C 细节理解题。根据M.C.的判断“You must have the fastest processing and shipping in the industry!”可知答案为C项。27. B 推理判断题。综合六位顾客的评论来看，主要是针对服务的，故B项正确。（八）28. B 段落归纳题。第一段说人们在遗弃动物时，能找出各种理由，而作者看到一只无家可归的狗出现在家门口时，出于同情收留了这只狗并悉心照料。29. A 细节理解题。 第二段第三、四两句说，这只狗在作者家前几天无法安静下来，几乎不吃东西，是很难过、忧心忡忡的样子。30. D 推理判断题。第三段第二句话说
191、，我们离家很远了，这只狗开始叫起来并且变得很烦躁，随后说这只狗顺着路狂奔起来，朝农场房子跑去，据此推断，它是认出了回家的路。31. A 文章组织结构题。先是发现狗，接着收养狗，然后与狗熟起来，然后带着狗散步，最后狗认出了回自己以前的家的路，所以该文章是按时间顺序来组织的。（九）32. B 词义猜测题。根据文章第 1 段的第 1 句 Why do men die earlier than women 及全文内容可猜出，本题的正确答案选 B。33. D 主旨大意题。根据文章第 1 段的第 2 句 the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid

193、 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第 1 句 The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise 及文章主题可知，本题的正确答案选 C。36. B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第 2 段中的 The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart 可推知，本题的正确答案选B。（十）37B 38C3 9D 40D四、任务型阅读（共10题 第一中学）1请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后

As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily

This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for

225、ng attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modem world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35
226、,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia (失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with
227、 borderline insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.Overall, the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of whi
228、ch are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The surveys findings
229、are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.There are many things
230、 you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also

So far, no cure has been found for it.In the early mid-1980s,
236、 while other parts of the world were beginning to deal with the serious disease, Asia remained relatively unaffected by this newly discovered health problem. By the early 1990s, however, HIV and AIDS had hit several Asian countries, and by the end of that decade, HIV was spreading rapidly in many ar
237、eas of the continent. Today, HIV and AIDS are a growing problem in every region of Asia. The latest statistics produced by UNAIDS suggest that in 2008, over 5 million people were living with HIV or AIDS in Asia.Various factors cause the spread of HIV, including poverty, inequality, unequal status of
238、 women, cultural myths about sex and high levels of migration（移民）. Although its useful to understand the situation of AIDS in Asia as a whole, each country in the region faces a different situation. In Cambodia and Thailand, there has been evidence of declines in HIV infection levels. In Indonesia,
239、Pakistan and Vietnam, meanwhile, the number of people living with HIV has rapidly increased. In China, the number of people newly infected with HIV and AIDS is also rising although at a much slower pace.Much improvement is needed to prevent HIV and AIDS around Asia. New guidelines and policy documen
240、ts have been continually issued over the years. Most of the successful programs do have at least three features in common. Firstly, these programs encourage HIV and AIDS education among the general population to teach people how to avoid infection and to face discrimination. Secondly, they are every
241、 practical and they involve the infected people themselves in program design and implementation（实施）. Last but not least, strong leadership is essential for HIV prevention. If all of the leaders truly committed themselves to this cause, them a great many lives would be saved.Overview of HIV and AIDS

245、s in the world. Its famous because of its freedom and rights of liberty. It is well-known because its population comes from all over the world. The immigrants can learn the United Statess language, English, to keep this country united, but it is unfair to change their culture for an American way of
246、life.I believe that recent immigrants should learn English in order to live in this country. They should learn the “ public language” to make a better of this country. If they dont learn English, they wont be able to communicate and do what they want to. For example, my mothers friend came here from
247、 Ecuador three years ago. She does not speak English. One day her daughter, Anita, couldnt breathe. Anita didnt know what was going on, but she told her mother to call an ambulance. When her mother called the hospital, she couldnt talk. The operator couldnt understand what Anitas mother was saying;
248、her sister arrived and called the ambulance. The doctor told her sister that if she hadnt arrived at the hospital in time, Anita could have died. A pill had gotten stuck in her throat.Immigrants should learn English to speak with the public, but they should also keep their language at home. The chil
249、dren of immigrants should learn how to speak their parents language. It is very important to communicate with our relatives and family, in general. If we learn English only and forget our “ private language”, we wont be able to communicate with our relatives. For example, Florence, my co-worker, spe
250、aks English only. Her mother didnt teach her Spanish (her mothers language). Nowadays, Florence cant communicate with her grandparents or other relatives in Puerto Rico. She has lost her mothers language, tradition and culture.Immigrants may replace their language with English, but its unfair to giv
251、e up their culture. They grow up with a way of living and it is difficult to change it because they are in another country. They have the right to keep their culture and values. We immigrants have the right to know where we come from and what our familys culture is. In this way, we can transmit it t
252、o our future generation. After all, one amendment to the Constitution of this country gives us the right. It is freedom of religion, culture and speech.In conclusion, immigrants should learn English in order to communicate with the public and to keep the country united, but they shouldnt exchange th
253、eir culture for an American way of life. They have the right to keep it.Passage outlineSupporting detailsIntroduction(1)_ are now made up of people from all over the world.The immigrants need to learn English.

256、e? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades. Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less
257、disease than others. She says one important factor in peoples health is the amount of education they have. In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades. “ We look
258、ed at life expectancy(预测寿命) at age 25,” Meara says. “ How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if youve reached age 25 and youve gone on to at least some college” M
259、eara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75. In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live
260、 to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact. Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the l
261、ength of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasnt changed for less educated people. Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education. “
262、I think its a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “ Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesnt always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population.
