22、 Previous researches show that you can change, through behavior, your sensitivity to different diseases based on your genetics, In other words, when you live in an environment that supports healthy aging, it likely affects your ability to successfully beat your genetic disadvantages through lifestyle changes. However, there was a blank in knowledge as to the exact environmental and social factors (因素）that make for an environment that best supports living to age 100,which a new study helped to address.
Researchers looked at state-provided data about the deaths of nearly 145, 000 Washingtonians who died at age 75 or older between 2011 and 2015. They found that neighborhood walkability, higher socioeconomic status, and a high percentage of working age population were positively connected with reaching age 100. These findings indicate that mixed-age communities are very beneficial for everyone involved. They also support the big push in growing urban centers toward making streets more walkable, which makes exercise more accessible to older adults and makes it easier for them to access medical care and grocery stores.
Finally, the researchers wanted to see in which areas of the state people had a higher probability of reaching age 100. For each neighborhood, they calculated the years of potential life lost (YPLL) ,or the average number of years dead individuals would have had to continue living to reach age 100. Neighborhoods with lower values for years of potential life lost were considered to have a higher likelihood of reaching age 100. When they mapped the years of potential life lost for all neighborhoods across the state, they saw groups with high likelihood of living to age 100 in higher socioeconomic areas in urban centers and small towns across the state.
While more research is needed to expand upon their findings, the researchers said the study findings could eventually be used to create healthier communities that promote lifetime in older adults.
【1】What is the purpose of the study?
A.To find the longest-living people.
B.To discover people's sensitivity to diseases.
C.To learn about the genes of long lifetime.
D.To identify the external factors in living long.
【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?
A.By experimenting in the lab.
B.By conducting some surveys.
C.By analyzing the previous data.
D.By comparing the young and the old.
【3】Which of the following disagrees with living a long life?
A.Good genes. B.Walking often.
C.Mixed-age neighbors. D.Living alone remotely.
【4】What can be learned from the text?
A.People with higher values for YPLL are more likely to reach age 100.
B.People with lower values for YPLL are more likely to reach age 100.
C.People with higher socioeconomic status are less likely to reach age 100.
D.People with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to reach age 100.
23、Located within the beautiful landscape of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that poses a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is none other than a giant floating island. The island, composed of plants and trees, occasionally floats around the lake, causing a significant inconvenience by blocking a vital bridge. Later, the local people proposed a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was transformed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows, moving the entire floating mass around the lake.
Although the decades-old floating island does not relocate constantly, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the vital bridge that serves as the sole passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a fleet of boats, and not just one or two,but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision, as merely relocating (重新迁移) it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested blowing up the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades, and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that won’t negatively impact wildlife, highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of humanity and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique habitats that enrich our world.
【1】What does the underlined word “solution” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Building a new bridge.
B．Transforming the vast bog.
C．Moving the floating island away.
D．Reconstructing the local community.
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The form action of the floating island.
B．The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.
C．The abundance of species in Lake Chippewa.
D．The impact of the wind on the floating island.
【3】What do we know about the relocation work from paragraph 3?
A．It is usually finished within days.
B．It can only be carried out during windless days.
C．It is demanding in cooperation and precision.
D．It greatly disturbs the community residents’ lives.
【4】Why have the local authorities refused to blow up the island?
A．To save costs for local people.
B．To ensure the safety of residents.
C．To increase the bond between communities.
D．To protect the wildlife species on the island.
24、It’s certain that we’re all getting older. And while the older among us may be no spring chickens any more, growing old gracefully is no bad thing.【1】However, as the world population ages, will there be enough people to replace our younger selves?
A situation where there are more old people than young certainly has an effect on the world. A report by the Pew Research Center says that globally the number of people over 65 years old will triple by 2050, drastically altering some countries’ demographic (人口的) make-up.【2】Governments will struggle to provide satisfactory pensions, which are ultimately funded by taxes paid by the working population. And long-term, a smaller population of economically-active people may be a problem for companies trying to recruit staff.
【3】The Pew Research Center survey found that 87% of Japanese people were most concerned about it, while only 26% of people from the USA were. Some countries thought the elderly should take care of themselves, while others thought it was the responsibility of the family.【4】
But old age shouldn’t just be seen negatively. Elderly people have knowledge and experience to pass on. Some have wealth which they can spend, helping the economy. And some do voluntary or charity work.【5】And these include increasing the retirement age, encouraging people to save for the future, or even convincing people to have more children.
A．And with age comes wisdom.
B．Of course, solutions are needed to tackle the issue.
C．The aging population can be potential new customers
D．Many thought the government should be responsible.
E．Attitudes to an aging population vary around the world.
F．It also predicts that the world population will decline in the next century.
G．This aging population means an increased demand for health and social care.
25、Hugely ambitious in scope, The Lord of the Rings occupies an uncomfortable position in 20th century literature. This book of J.R.R.Tolkien’s poses a challenge to modern literature and its defenders. (Tolkien on his _______: “Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, ridiculous, or annoying; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently _________.”) Yet The Lord of the Rings has enjoyed massive and enduring popularity. It would seem that Tolkien’s work supplied something that was _________ among the formal innovations of 20th century fiction, something for which readers were hungry. But what was it, and why was it important?
It seems that the key point lies in Tolkien’s wholehearted rejection of modernity and modernism. This is what so powerfully _________ some readers, and just as powerfully drives away others. In his book J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, T.A. Shippey expands on this idea by arguing that Tolkien saw his story of Middle-earth not as fiction or invention, but as the _________ of something genuine that had become buried beneath the fairy tale and nursery rhythm.
“However fanciful Tolkien’s creation of Middle earth was,” Shippey writes, “he did not think that he was entirely _________. He was ‘reconstructing’, he was harmonizing conflicts in his source-texts, sometimes he was supplying entirely new concepts, but he was also reaching back to an imaginative world which he believed had once really _________, at least in a collective imagination.”
The book is also deeply grounded in Tolkien’s linguistic expertise （语言专长） —he _________ whole languages for his characters. Sometimes he became so absorbed in the creation of languages, in fact, that he _________ the story itself for months or years at a time, believing he could not continue until some inconsistency（不一致）in his invented world had been resolved. But Tolkien’s great intellect and knowledge is not the source of his ____________; without his storytelling gift, The Lord of the Rings would be little more than a curiosity. And this gift seems to originate straight from his ____________ to break from classical and traditional forms.
Tolkien himself often spoke of his work as something ‘found’ or ‘discovered’, something whose existence was ____________ of him. It’s wise to be careful with this sort of interpretation, but it seems ____________ that he believed his work to be something given, something revealed, which contained a kind of truth beyond measure. ____________, his details have the weight of reality, and because of this his great sweep of story feels real as well; you might say that his ____________ castles are built with a certain amount of genuine stone.
