Unit 1 Lifestyles李仕才一、阅读理解AIf you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer diseas e.” They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”Price said, “ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained, “you don’t throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.”“Food,” he said, “isn’t just material to be burned---it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.” Price said the findings help to explain how exact ly our bodies age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”1.What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?A. They can keep healthy easilyB. They need more energy to be activeC. They can look younger than they areD. They will live a longer life like humans2.What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?A. They will completely break downB. They make proteins in the cells slowlyC. They will produce high quality proteins moreD. They may need more time to repair themselves3.Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing themselves by _________.A. telling a storyB. listing basic dataC. making comparisonsD. experimenting on mice4.What does the text mainly deal with?A. Food decides how long you liveB. Can you slow down your aging process?C. Eating less may help you live longerD. Should your diet be reduced for your health?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 1 Lifestyles李仕才Ⅰ阅读理解ATaylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop(飞驰). The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowed. She gave me a high five. "Wow, you did well, "she said. "I knew you’d go fast when you were ready." No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was stillnervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase "kick up my heels"at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛,这让作者感到兴奋,也感到虽然自己上了年纪,但是有一颗年轻的心。

Unit 1 Lifestyles李仕才【阅读理解】Thanks to the Internet and technology, the world has become one big market, and you can sit in the comforts of your home and shop for anything you want. You no longer have to drive to the actual shops and fish out what you want. Simply filter (筛选) your search, sitting on your sofa, select the desired product, and make the required payment. The shipment will reach your doorstep.However, everything comes at a price; so does online shopping. It's subject to more threats, especially when you make online shopping mistakes. For example, you may be an impulsive (冲动的) buyer and buy something without reading all the details of the product properly. If you don't read the product description carefully, there are high chances that the item you receive might not match what you expect.The biggest hurdle in online shopping is that you cannot inspect your product beforehand. Therefore, take a cue from the experiences of other consumers from the online posts. Additionally, you may make mistakes like giving an incorrect address, typing incorrect quantity details. Such mistakes can make you end up getting a delayed delivery.Not following safety tips while shopping is also a common mistake you may commit. For instance, you may not take into account other charges, or use a public Wi­Fi to make a purchase, which may give away your card details. So ensure online safety while making a purchase online.Luckily, if some mistake has occurred, you can make an attempt to repair it. For example, you can contact the customer service and register your complaint. It's better to have a written record by also sending an email to the company. It's advisable to have your purchase transaction well documented, so that you can provide legal evidence to the company.1.If you don't read the product descriptions thoroughly, you'll probably ________.A.forget to follow safety tipsB.be addicted to online shopping easilyC.receive an item you don't wantD.make a purchase as you expect2.What can prevent the product reaching you in time?A.Not reading its consumer reviews.B.Not posting letter to the company in advance.C.Not taking other charges into consideration.D.Not checking information before placing an order.3.Your card information may be stolen if you do online shopping ________.A.with a public Wi-FiB.on a private websiteC.in your friend's storeD.in a trustworthy company4.What should we do when online shopping goes wrong?A.Make a list of your requirements.B.Report the online shop to the government.C.Send the purchase information to the police.D.Get your complaint registered at the customer service.参考答案: 1.C; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D解析: 1.[细节题。

课时作业(一)题型组合练——练速度(阅读理解+阅读七选五+语法填空)限时:35分钟Ⅰ.阅读理解AAfter the earthquake had stopped,when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman's house,they saw her dead body through the cracks.But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping(做礼拜);her body was leaning forward,and her two hands were supported by an object.The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head. With so many difficulties,the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body.He was hoping that this woman could be still alive.However,the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building.For some reasons,the team leader was driven by compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman.Again,he knelt down and used his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body.Suddenly,he screamed with excitement,“A child!There is a child!”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman.There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body.Obviously,the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son.When her house was falling,she used her body to make a cover to protect her son.The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy.After he opened the blanket,he saw a cell phone.There was a text message on the screen.It said,“If you can survive,you must remember that I love you.”This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another.Everybody that read the message wept.“If you can survive,you must remember that I love you.”Such is the mother's love for her child![语篇解读]本文为一篇记叙文。

本文讲述了地震中的一位母亲用自己的生命保护了自己的孩子,由此可见本文的最佳题目为:废墟里的母爱。

故答案为B项。

答案:BBIn the movie Alice in Wonderland,Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take.The cat responds,“Well,that depends on where you're trying to get to.”Alice replies,“I don't know.” The cat responds,“Then any road will do.”You see,knowing where you're going increases your chances dramatically of getting there,and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year.Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you.If you are like many other people,for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and,even more importantly,committing them to writing have positive effects on your life. However,a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.In 1979,a class of Harvard MBA students were asked:Have you set clear,written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them? The following will astonish you.Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place,13% just had goals,and an amazing 84%had no specific goals at all.Ten years later,the members of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals.The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning,on average,twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all.And the 3 percent who had clear,written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination.Remember,always set SMART goals.Goals should be: Specific,Measurable,Attainable,Relevant,and Time-bound![语篇解读]本文为一篇议论文。
