In developed countries the average difference in lifespans is five or six years. In the poor world the gap is smaller, owing to the risks of childbirth, but nowhere is it absent.

It is that while 70-year-old men have the hearts of 70-year-olds, those of their female peers resemble the hearts of 20-year-olds.[3] Professor David Goldspink and his fellow researchers looked at 250 volunteers aged between 18 and 80 over the course of two years. All the volunteers were healthy but physically inactive. The team's principal finding was that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25% between the ages of 18 and 70, while that of the female heart remains undiminished.[4] Each volunteer's heart function was measured before exercise and at peak exertion on a treadmill. In particular, the researchers measured blood flow and blood pressure. Their subjects were also given an ultrasonic scan to measure the size of the chambers of their hearts, the thickness of the heart's muscular wall, and its filling and emptying actions.[5] The researchers found that between the ages of 20 and 70, men lose one-third of the contractile muscle cells in the walls of their hearts. Over the same period, women lose hardly any contractile cells. There is a strong link between the number of these cells and the function of the heart. What remains a mystery is why men lose these cells and women do not.[6] A previous theory of why women outlive men suggested that the female sex hormone, oestrogen, could have a protective effect on the heart. But Dr Goldspink dismisses this idea, saying that there is no discernible drop-off in female heart function after menopause, when oestrogen levels decrease dramatically. However, oestrogen does have a beneficial effect on blood vessels. The study found that blood flow to the muscles and skin of the limbs decreases with age in both sexes. The changes in the structure of the blood vessels occur earlier in men, but women catch up soon after menopause.[7] It's not all bad news for men, though. In a related study, the team found that the hearts of veteran male athletes were as powerful as those of inactive 20-year-old male undergraduates. But can men really recover lost heart function after a lifetime of inactivity and poor diet? Is it ever too late to start exercising? “I think the answer is no,” says Dr Goldspink.“The health benefits to be gained from sensible exercise are to be recommended,regardless of age.” So if you are male and middle-aged, get on with it.1 Professor Goldspink and his colleagues discovered thatA women have stronger hearts than men doB men’s hearts are damaged by the effort to procreateC childbirth weakens women’s heartsD men’s hearts lose power as they age2 Dr Goldspink’s group used ultra-sound toA assess the characteristics and operating capacity of each volunteer’s heartB check the size of the area surrounding each volunteer’s heartC create pictures of each volunteer’s heart as it filled and emptiedD measure the efficiency of each volunteer’s heart before and after exercise on the treadmill3 According to the facts presented in the article, the female hormone oestrogenA shields the female heart from the effects of agingB promotes the flow of blood to a woman’s arms and legsC causes a decline in female heart function after menopauseD greatly improves the quality of blood in women4 At menopause, the amount of oestrogen in a woman’s bodyA rises slightlyB fluctuatesC plungesD soars5 Most males reading this article would probably conclude that they shouldA eat a richer dietB be more careful about the kind of exercise they getC give up smokingD get more exercise[1] When I was a student in the 1960s, anyone who believed that there might be life on other planets was considered a crackpot. Now all that has changed. The claim that life is widespread in the universe is not only respectable, it also underpins NASA's ambitious astrobiology program. Find another Earth-like planet, astrobiologists say, and life should have happened there too. NASA is spending billions of dollars to search for life on Mars, the most Earth-like of our sister planets. But we may not need to go all the way to Mars to find another sample of life. It could be present under our very noses. No planet is more Earth-like than Earth itself, so if life started here once, it could actually have started many times over.[2] Geologists believe life established itself on Earth about four billion years ago. Australian rocks dated at 3.5 billion years contain fossilized traces suggesting that microbes were already well established by then. But the ancient Earth wasnot a pleasant place. Huge asteroids and comets mercilessly pounded the planet; the biggest impacts would have covered our globe in burning rock vapor, boiling the oceans dry and sterilizing the surface worldwide.[3] How did life emerge amid this violence? Quite probably it was a stop-and-go affair, with life first forming during a lull in the bombardment, only to be annihilated by the next big impact. Then the process was repeated, over and over. As the bombardment began to abate and the impacts diminished in severity, isolated colonies of primitive microbes sheltering deep underground managed to survive. One of these colonies was destined to become life as we know it.[4] What about the preceding life forms? Were they all completely destroyed? It's possible that pockets of microbes could have survived in obscure hiding places until the next genesis, opening up the tantalizing prospect of two or more different forms of life co-existing on the same planet. Although they would compete for resources, one type of life was not necessarily bound to eliminate the rest. After all, "life as we know it" includes many very different species of microbes that exist side by side.[5] Thus, microbes from another genesis – life of a very alien, still unfamiliar type - could conceivably have survived on Earth until today. The chances are that we wouldn't have noticed. Under a microscope, many microbes appear similar even if they are as genetically distinct as humans are from starfish. So you probably couldn't tell just by looking whether a micro-organism is "our" life or alien life. Genetic sequencing is used to position unknown microbes on the tree of life, but this technique employs known biochemistry. It wouldn't work for organisms on a different tree using different biochemical machinery. If such organisms exist, they would be eliminated from the analysis and ignored. Our planet could be teeming with alien microbes without anyone suspecting it.[6] How could we go about identifying "life as we DON’T know it"? One idea is to look in unusual environments. Our awareness of the range of conditions in which life can thrive has been extended greatly in recent years, with the discovery of microbes dwelling near scalding volcanic vents, in radioactive pools and in total darkness far underground. Yet there will be limits beyond which our form of life cannot survive; for example, temperatures above about 130 degrees Celsius. If anything is found living in even harsher environments, we could examine it to see whether what enables it to survive is so novel that it cannot have evolved from known life.[7] Identifying alien organisms in less extreme settings would be a much harder challenge, especially if they use the same basic molecules as familiar life - nucleic acids and proteins. But there is one sure indicator. The building blocks of proteins, called amino acids, are all unbalanced in the same distinctive way. Viewed in a mirror, these "left-handed" amino acids would appear right-handed. Such mirror-image molecules exist, but the life forms we are familiar with don't use them. Most biochemists think it is just an accident that "life as we know it" selected the left-handed version. If this supposition is correct, then there is a 50-50 chance that alien life would have favored the right-handed version. Such "anti-life" would eat "anti-food": right-handed amino acids and other mirror molecules. This offers a simple way to filter out known life from alien life. Prepare a culture medium of anti-food and see if anything flourishes. Of course it's a long shot, but it is easy to try, and scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center are now testing the response of microbes from various extreme environments to a bowl of anti-soup.[8] Even if alien life has not survived to the present day, it may still have left traces. Geochemists have identified organic detritus from ancient microbes in rocks as old as 2.7 billion years. Alien organisms might have left remnants containingodd suites of molecules or produced distinctive geochemical alterations like unusual mineral deposits. These remnants would still give us a genuine “second sample”, a form of biology that is unrelated to familiar life. By comparing the way evolution works in both cases, we could identify which features of life follow from general principles and which are just accidents of history.[9] But there is a more profound dimension to this research. Nobody knows how life began. Somehow a mixture of lifeless chemicals assembled itself into a primitive organism, presumably through a long and complex sequence of chemical reactions. Our ignorance of this process is so great that scientists can't even agree on whether it was a gigantic, one-time chance event, or the expected and frequent outcome of intrinsically life-friendly natural laws, as the astrobiologists hope. The discovery of a second sample of life on Earth would confirm that bio-genesis was not a unique event and strengthen the belief that life is written into the laws of the cosmos. It is hard to imagine a more significant scientific discovery. Our view of the universe and our place within it would be forever transformed, and we would at last have the answer to the biggest of the big questions of existence: Are we alone?6 The word “crackpot” in paragraph 1 meansA a ceramic object with a serious flawB a person with the ability to see far into the futureC someone whose views and insights show that he is far ahead of his timeD someone with strange opinions not respected by most educated people7 When he wrote this article, one objective of the author was probably toA influence the public in favor of spending more money on inter-planetary space travelB answer critics of government spending on basic scientific researchC win public support for research on fossil microbes and microbes living in extreme environmentsD criticize NASA for regarding Mars as the best place to seek confirmation that life exists or has existednot only on Earth but elsewhere in the universe8 The author hypothesizes that early life on EarthA arose many times both despite and because of the violence of the environmentB was helped to diversify by the violent environmentC had to be microbial in order to survive amid the violence of the environmentD would necessarily have survived till our times, given the nature of Earth’s environment9 If it actually exists, the “anti-life” referred to in paragraph 7A traveled to Earth from another planetB is based on “right-handed” amino acids or other right-oriented moleculesC would cancel out “life” if brought into contact with itD can readily be detected with conventional genetic sequencing techniques10 Scientists todayA think that life is a bizarre chemical accident almost certainly limited to EarthB are still unable to achieve a meaningful consensus on how life probably arose on EarthC generally share the view that life on Earth is the product of a single huge eventD agree that conditions in the universe favor the emergence of life on countless planets1.

中国地质大学考博英语真题部分解析34.A解析:例证题。

题目“Toyota Motor是一个_______的例子”。

定位到末段,末段主要提到热情的消费者可能会号召其他人抵制某个产品,威胁到产品所属公司的名声,这时公司的回应有可能不够迅速、周到。

这是本段的核心信息。

接下来就拿Toyota Motor举例,举例中提到这个公司在公司名声遇到如上提到的危机情况时作出的反应,且成功减轻了危害程度。

由此可知,例子是对本段中心句的一个反面例子论证公司对hijacked media 的反应。

故选项[A](有效地回应被劫持利用的媒体)为正确答案。

干扰项:[B]persuading customers into boycotting products(劝说消费者抵制产品),文中末段第一句提到了消费者可能会劝说其他人抵制某些产品,故为张冠李戴。

[C]cooperating with supportive consumers(与支持自己的消费者合作),在例子中提到Toyota Motor公司缓解危机的方式是与消费者直接沟通,这首先属于例子内的信息,不符合例证题的解题思路,其次沟通交流不等于合作,故排除。

[D]taking advantage of hijacked media(利用被劫持的媒体),文中是消除被劫持媒体带来的危害,而非去利用被劫持的媒体,故排除。

(PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537)35.A解析:主旨题。

题目“这篇文化在那个主要讲述的是______”。

本文首段第三句就提出文章中心“companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media”,即虽然传统收费媒体仍在发挥重大作用,但是现今的公司可以去选择其他媒体形式。

后文主要是介绍其他可选择的媒体形式,并对其作出评论。

故选项[A]Alternatives to conventional paid media(与传统收费媒体对应的其他媒体形式)为正确答案。

干扰项:[B]Conflict between hijacked and earned media(被劫持媒体和免费媒体之间的冲突)[C]Dominance of hijacked media(被劫持媒体的支配地位)[D]Popularity of owned media(免费媒体的普遍性)均为文中的部分信息,不足以概括全文,故都排除。

Text Four36.C解析:细节题。

题目“Jenifer Senior在她的文章中认为养育孩子可以带来_____”。

定位到第一段第二句“Senior suggests that we need to redefine happiness:instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy,we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition”,意思是说我们应该把幸福看作为一种“过去时”的状态,而不应该把它看作为一种可以即时即地的快乐。

最后一句补充道,那些一开始让我们情绪低落的事情,后来可能会是强烈的满足和快乐感的来源。

由此可知,选项[C]happiness in retrospect(幸福的回忆、回顾往事时的幸福感)为正确答案。

干扰项:[A]temporary delight(暂时的快乐),为反向干扰。

[B] enjoyment in progress(慢慢增加的快乐),不符合原文过去(沮丧)与后来(幸福快乐)的对比。

[D]lasting reward(持久的回报)为无中生有。

37.D解析:推断题。

题目“由第二段可知_____”。

定位到第二段。

第二段是承接第一段中心“养育孩子能成为后来幸福快乐的源泉”而来的,符合中心表达的意思。

而且在第三段首句接着第二段提到“in a society that so persistently celebrates procreation(在一个如此赞扬生育的社会中)”,这是一个承上启下的句子,是对第二段的总结,也符合第一段以及第二段对养育孩子的正面评价。

故选项[D]having children is highly valued by the public(养育孩子受到大众的高度重视),是对原文赞扬生育的同义替换,为正确答案。

干扰项:[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip(名人妈妈是八卦的不竭来源)、[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention(带孩子的单身母亲应该得到更多的关注)、[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining(名人怀孕的新闻更具有娱乐性),均偏离文章中心。

38.A解析:细节推断题。

题目“由第三段可知,无儿女的人们会_____”。

第三段最后一句but后面的信息提到,不幸福但育有儿女的父母很少会遭到挑衅,而去思考他们当初是不是不应该要孩子,但是不幸福且无儿女的人们经常会受到一个信息的困扰,即孩子是世界上唯一最重要的事情。

后面又补充道,很明显正是没有孩子这一人生中的空白导直接导致了他们的痛苦。

故选项[A]are constantly exposed to criticism(常常是指责的对象)符合此意,为正确答案。

干扰项:[B]are largely ignored by the media(在很大程度上为媒体所忽视),媒体关注的对象的确不是那些不养育孩子的人们,但这不是第三段的内容,故排除。

[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities (未能履行他们的社会责任),文中未提到社会责任这一说,而且本文中心也非讨论不养育孩子人们的社会责任问题,故排除。

[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life(更有可能对自己的生活不满),文中比较的是不幸福的有儿女的父母和不幸福的无儿女的人们,但没有明确说哪类人更满意自己的生活,故排除。

39.D解析:细节题。

题目中“名人杂志传达的信息是_____”。

定位到原文第四段第一句“the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic”,名人杂志中为人父母的形象是非常不现实的。

选项[D]misleading(误导的)是对原文unrealistic的同义替换。

干扰选项:[A]soothing(抚慰的,令人宽心的)、[B]ambiguous(模糊的)、[C]compensatory(补偿的)均为无中生有。

40.B解析:推断题。

题目“从最后一段我们可以推断出如下哪个选项”。

定位到最后一段转折处“But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free,happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small,subconscious way contributing to our own satisfactions with the actual experience,in the say way that a small part of us hoped getting‘the Rachel’might make us just a little bit like Jennifer Anniston”,意思为我们每周看到的名人形象(没有压力、提升幸福感的名人形象)会使我们潜意识中对现实经历有所不满。

由此可知,选项[B]Celebrity moms have influenced out attitude towards child rearing(名人妈妈形象影响了我们对抚养孩子的态度)是正确的。

干扰选项:[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms(生育孩子对名人妈妈的魅力影响不大),与末段第一句相反,为反向干扰。

[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life(生育孩子加剧了我们对生活的不满),为反向干扰,原因:最后一段第一句提到养孩子在杂志上是魅力无穷的,但在现实中大多数成年人都懂得养孩子不像理发那么简单,接下来一句转而说杂志上的名人形象到底还是影响到了人们对养育孩子的态度。

[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing(我们有时会忽略养育孩子带来的幸福感),在原文中没提到忽略这种幸福感,属于无中生有。

Part B41.B解析:从给出的开头段落G,可以看出这是一篇介绍Louis Menand的书The Marketplace of Ideas:Reform and Resistance in the American University和他的观点的文章,紧接着下面就应该讲他书中阐释的问题和他的观点,B选项中开头一句提到his concern,暗示提出问题,指出美国大学存在的主要问题。

从结构上来看,B选项内容能够合理地与G选项衔接,故41题正确答案为B选项。

42.D解析:文章的主题是关于“humanities”。

上一段提出大学人文学科正走向没落,所以下面就紧接着应该解释出现这种现象的原因,42项答案即D或者E,但因为E在后一项给出,且有连接词Besides可知,42为D。

此外,D选项中首句出现的separate一词,与E选项中this separation 正好构成关联,故42题应选D选项。

43.A解析:A选项指出,没有哪门专业化学科像人文学科这样,需要倾注如此多的热情,之后提到获得人文学科的博士学位,需要9年的时间,这一信息可对应E选项中的the acquisition of a doctoral,从结构和内容构成了合理的衔接,所以43题应选择A。

44.C解析:依据43题的选项A,说人文学科获得博士学位的时间长,需要倾注很大的热情,所以高达一半的英语博士生在获得学位之前辍学就毫不奇怪了。
