21、Want to live longer? Win an Oscar.
A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.
So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”, she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).
The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手). Actors who have won more than once, like Hepburn, live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.
“We found that they died from the same things we all die from—cancer, heart disease, but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr. Donald Redelmeier, the leading author of the study. Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one’s soul become more full of life.
“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier, “or that people should go out and take acting courses. Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study’s implied conclusion, he says, is that doctors should ask about their patients’ personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.
Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Redelmeier says, “She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”
“We found, too, those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.
【1】The longevity of Oscar winners mainly has something to do with___________.
A. the big money that was awarded
B. mental factors
C. rich and colorful lives
D. respect from others and better treatment
【2】Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either. We can tell__________.
A. Tom probably will have a longer life than Peter.
B. Peter probably will have a longer life than Tom
C. Both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancy
D. Both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life.
【3】According to the passage, we know __________.
A. When Katharine Hepburn was 94, she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizes
B. In general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person’s life expectancy.
C. That Gwyneth Paltrow’s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the study.
D. If you want to live a happy and long life, you should take acting courses and win Oscars.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Most Oscar Winners Live Longer Lives
B. How to Get a Long Life
C. A New Study about Long Lives
D. An Amazing Finding
22、New Zealand’s government recently announced it will help pay for poorer families to replace their old cars with cleaner hybrid(混合动力的)or electric vehicles. The government said it plans to spend $357 million on the test program.
The move is part of a wider plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases are believed to cause warming temperatures in the Earth’s atmosphere. New Zealand plans to provide aid for businesses to reduce emissions and have buses that run on environmentally safe fuel by 2035. The government also plans to provide food-waste collection for most homes by 2030.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem said in a statement, “We’ve all seen the recent reports on sea level rise and its influence right here in New Zealand. We cannot leave the issue of climate change until it’s too late to fix.” The plan is a step toward New Zealand’s stated goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Reaching net-zero emissions means not creating more carbon in the atmosphere than oceans and forests can remove. Ardern said that reducing dependence on traditional fuels would help protect families from extreme price increases. The plan also sets a goal of reducing total car travel by 20 percent over the next 13 years. The programs will be paid for from a $2.8 billion climate emergency response fund.
Officials said that over time, money collected from polluters would pay for the programs rather than taxes from families. Some critics of the plan say it continued to be less restrictive on New Zealand’s huge agriculture industry. Agriculture creates more than half of the nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions. But the industry is also important to the economy as the nation’s biggest export earner.
David Seymour is the leader of New Zealand’s ACT political party. He said that some of the announced programs are proven to be ineffective and have been tried and failed overseas. Seymour added that people should be able to choose how they reduce emissions through the market-basedd emissions trading plan.
【1】Which of the following is NOT New Zealand planning to do?
A．Buy cars for poor families.
B．Offer assistance to business.
C．Use environmentally safe fuels.
D．Spend money on the test program.
【2】What does Jacinda Ardem suggest doing about the climate change?
A．Setting aside the problem.
B．Realizing the stated goal.
C．Addressing the issue early.
D．Decreasing dependence on traditional fuels.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A．New Zealand aims to control carbon emissions.
B．The move has a goal of reducing the use of buses.
C．Achieving net-zero emissions means creating no carbon.
D．Agriculture makes less importance in the nation’s economy.
【4】What is David Seymour’s attitude towards the program?
A．Negative.
B．Objective.
C．Favorable
D．Unconcerned.
23、Stanley Yelnats was given a choice. The judge said, “You may go to prison, or you may go to Camp Green Lake.” Stanley was from a poor family. He had never been to camp before. So, Stanley Yelnats seems set to serve an easy sentence, which is only fair because he is as innocent as you or me. But Stanley is not going where he thinks he is.
Camp Green Lake is like no other camp anywhere. It is a place that has no lake and nothing green. Nor is it a camp, at least not the kind of camp kids look forward to in the summertime. It is only a desert wasteland, dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the camp.
The trouble started when Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes donated by basketball great Clyde “Sweetfeet” Livingston to a celebrity auction (名流拍卖会). In court, the judge doesn’t believe Stanley’s explanation that the shoes fell from the sky onto his head. And yet, that’s exactly what happened. Strangely, though, Stanley doesn’t blame the judge for falsely convicting (宣告有罪) him. Instead, he blames the whole thing on his “no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-
stealing-great-great-grandfather.” Thanks to this distant relative, the Yelnats family had been cursed (诅咒) for generations. For Stanley, his current troubles are just a natural part of being a Yelnats.
At Camp Green Lake, the warden (看守) makes the boys “build character” by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is searching for something, and before long Stanley begins his own search — for the truth. Fate is to find a solution to it all — the family curse, the mystery of the holes. The great wheel of justice has ground slowly for generations, but now it is about to reveal its verdict (裁决).
【1】Stanley Yelnats went to Camp Green Lake to__________________.
A．enjoy the summertime B．show his innocence
C．Serve his sentence D．make a choice
【2】We can learn from the passage that Stanley__________________.
A．stole the shoes for his relative
B．got the shoes by accident
C．donated the shoes to an auction
D．blamed the judge for the sentence
【3】In fact，the warden made the boys dig holes to________________.
A．kill the time B．build character
C．break the family curse D．look for something
【4】In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably appear?
A．Law． B．Geography．
C．News． D．Literature．
24、Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer (零售商) who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, “The customer is always right,” which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only so many Shopping Days until Christmas”.
When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no match for their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges. a department store named after him at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team shaped an ambitious classical place building with a wall of plate glass windows.
Opened in 1909, Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first-aid room and most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale.
Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Century culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.
【1】What can be learned about Mr. Selfridge from Paragraph 1?
A. He was well-educated.
B. He was a gifted businessman.
C. He was a modest man.
D. He was dishonest.
【2】What made Selfridge build a department store in London?
A. The industrial atmosphere in London.
B. His desire to own a department store.
C. His confidence in business success.
D. Affection for London architecture.
【3】What was Selfridges' most impressive characteristic?
A. The number of departments.
B. The broad choice of goods.
C. The small group of guards.
D. The well-trained sales guides.
【4】What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To introduce the retailer, Selfridge.
B. To compare different department stores.
C. To encourage readers to spend more.
D. To explain how to start a department store.
25、 Nowadays, many of us track our steps with smart watches, pedometers（计步器）or phone apps and are of course thrilled when we reach that all-important daily goal of 10,000 steps. You might _______ that this number has appeared after years of research.
The _______ number "10,000" dates back to a marketing campaign _______ shortly before the start of the1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. A company began_______a pedometer called the Manpo-kei: “man” meaning 10,000, “po” meaning_______and “kei”meaning meter. It was hugely _______ and the number seems to have stuck. Marty buyers are appealed by the new gadget.
Since then, studies have _______ the health benefits of 5,000 with 10,000 steps and, not

I-Min Lee, a professor of ________ at Harvard Medical School, and her team ________a group of more than 16,000 women in their seventies.
