26、“Super-agers” have long puzzled scientists, but now researchers say they are unpicking why some people live beyond 80 and still appear to be well.
Researchers say studies show that super-agers appear to adapt more easily to the slings and arrows of life, and are more open-minded and less sensitive. But they have also made another discovery. Looking at the brains of 10 super-agers after they died, Prof Emily Rogalski, from Northwestern University said they discovered these individuals have more of a certain type of brain cell known as Von Economo neurons ( 神经) than average elderly individuals. “We can’t explain how they ended up with more Von Economo neurons or why that is important. But these are a special type of neurons that have only been found in a couple of regions of the brain.”
Studies have shown there are other differences as well. “When we look at the rate of cognitive ( 认知的) thinning in the cognitively average 80-year-olds, their brains are thinning at nearly two and a half times that of the super-agers,” said Rogalski.
Being underweight also seemed to matter, with those who had a very low body mass index after the age of 80 more likely to die. It’s not bad to be skinny when you’re young but it is when you’re old.
The researchers say they have also found that the common bad habits do not necessarily lead to an early grave, with many super-agers saying they smoked and enjoyed a drink. “We ask them why is it that you think you are a super-ager, how did you get here, and there are a couple of funny ladies and they will say, well it’s because I have some alcohol with my friends every day at 5 o’clock. Others have never had a drink,” said Rogalski.
However, Rogalski added, that did not mean that people should take up bad habits to live longer, noting that some people might have a genetic makeup that allowed them to tolerate smoking and drinking. Nonetheless, Rogalski thinks we can learn from super-agers. “We are getting quite good at extending our lifespan but our health span isn’t keeping up and what the super-agers have is more of a balance between those two, they are living long and living well,” she said.
【1】What can we learn about Von Economo neurons?
A．They can be found all over the super-agers’ brains.
B．They lead to super-agers’ easier adaptation to hardships.
C．Super-agers are found to have more of them in their brains.
D．Scientists have discovered how they are produced in brains.
【2】Compared to the average elderly, super-agers .
A．have better life habits
B．tend to drink more alcohol
C．are usually much slimmer
D．are slower in brain thinning
【3】What does Rogalski intend to tell us by the underlined sentence?
A．We should develop good habits to live longer.
B．We should seek to live well while living long.
C．Super-agers should help us extend our health span.
D．Extending lifespan is harder than keeping health span.
【4】What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To reveal some secrets of super-agers.
B．To introduce the ways of staying young.
C．To explain the advantages of living long.
D．To describe various habits of super-agers.
27、Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick．But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer．
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming．Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year．But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past．
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult ． To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud．Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery ． There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes．Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样)．So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change．
【1】How do scientists study the past climate change?
A．By predicting the climate change in the future．
B．By drilling down deep into land sediments．
C．By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon．
D．By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud．
【2】What is needed for drilling down into lake sediments?
A．The latest helicopter．
B．The special equipment．
C．The light machinery．
D．The narrow path．
【3】What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To attract more people’s attention to CO2．
B．To call on people to protect rainforests．
C．To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests．
D．To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests．
【4】The best title for the text may be_______．
A．Mystery of the Rainforest
B．Climates of the Amazon
C．The History of the Rainforest
D．Changes of the Rainforest
28、School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”
【1】Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1?
A．To check the patient’s brain.
B．To reduce the patient’s headache.
C．To prevent the patient from throwing up.
D．To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.
【2】What can we know about the radiation treatment?
A．It can be received at home.
B．It has to be finished in a month.
C．It may make the patients feel worried.
D．It will cause huge physical pain for patients.
【3】What does Cook do to help the children being treated?
A．Offer them some free masks as gifts.
B．Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.
C．Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D．Make the masks more interesting to kids.
【4】What does the author want to show by telling this story?
A．Love can treat the terrible sickness.
B．Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C．Health matters to everyone.
D．Creativity leads to success.
