题目列表(包括答案和解析)

What do you do if you're stranded(处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

  Body signals(信号)

  Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

  Smoke signals

  The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

  Ground-to-air signals

  It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

  F "I need food and water."

  II "I need medicine."

  I "I am badly hurt."

  X" I am unable to move from here."

  Pilots' replies

  If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)

However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?

 

1. Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

 

 

 

 

2. What can we learn from the passage?

  A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

  B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

  C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

  D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

  3. What is the passage mainly about?

  A. The explanation of building signals on an island.

  B. The importance of making signals on an island.

  C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

  In American school there is something called Homecoming Day(校友返校日). Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except Graduation of Commencement Day(毕业典礼日). Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance(预先).

  Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.

  During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

  Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age114.and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday.

  When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit(限制)to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived.to 122, SO it wouldn't sul33rise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live longer than we think.”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 1 20.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number.”says Rich Miller at the University, of guessing

   Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of HS living until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that make the life span of mice longer by 50 percent at most.

  So, if the average(平均)human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we learn from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer.”he says.“But a fly'snever going to live 150 years.”Of course, if you became a new species(物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about.”He says with a smile.

(1)

What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?

[  ]

A.

People can live to 122.

B.

Old people are creative.

C.

Women are sporty at 85.

A.

the average human life span could be 110

B.

scientists cannot find ways to slow aging

C.

few people can expect to live to over 150

D.

experts aren’t sure how long one can live

(3)

Who thinks that a scientist will become famous if he makes longevity?

[  ]

A.

Jerry Shay.

B.

Steve Austad.

C.

Rich Miller.

D.

George Martin.

(4)

Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.

B.

The average human life span cannot be doubled.

C.

Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
