If 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 disease.” They wer e 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 imprac tical 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 thro w 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 exactly our bodie s 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。
人教版高考英语一轮总复习课后习题 必修第2册 UNIT 5 MUSIC

UNIT 5 MUSICⅠ.阅读理解AEvery music therapist has a wealth of stories about that beautiful musical moment when art and science come together to create an awareness,anaccomplishment,abreakthrough.I want to share highlights of music therapy,which helped my family find outlets and i nsights through our “ey father,Joe Altman lived his life with strength and determination.As complications associated with diabetes diminished his physical capabilities,his unbeatable will to fight the disease completely hammered away.A WWⅡ Navy Seal,Joe Altman lived by a simple rule:when you get to the end of your rope,tie a knot(结) and hang on.When dementia struck hard and violently broke through Dad’s spirit,music therapist Alessandro Ricciarelli entered hislife.Armed with six strings attached to a wooden guitar,Alessandro surpassed(超过) the capabilities of the most advanced medical technology.Each time Alessandro walked through the door,an invisible wall formed around them,creating a comfortable space in which a trusting bond of friendship would quickly form.Alessandro brought with him happiness,encouragement,added a sense of meaning and purpose to Dad’s life,and,in doing so revived(使复原) his spirit.In a most gentle way,Alessandro treated Joe with the greatest dignity and respect.Alessandro’s action was not limited to actual hospital visits;he took personal time to learn songs that were relevant to Dad and made recordings of their sessions together to be enjoyed at any given time.Alessandro appreciated the power of positive thoughts,and with his kind words,asmile,compassion,and a true desire to make Dad happy,he encouraged Dad’s participation,leaving us with cherished memories of my father having one last chance to eself through music,smiling and enjoying life.In a very real sense,Alessandro was that knot at the end of the rope on to which Dad grabbed.I am forever grateful to the Music Therapy Programme at NYU MedicalCentre,morespecifically,toMr.AlessandroRicciarelli.1.What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Improved.B.Replaced.C.Weakened.D.Developed.2.What can be known about the author’s father?A.He used to serve in the army.B.He lived a very easy life.C.He was a superman in physical strength.D.He was good at music when young.3.What kind of person does the author consider Alessandro to be?A.Courageous.B.Strong-willed.C.Open-minded.D.Devoted.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To eusic therapist.B.To call on people to treat patients kindly.C.To discuss ways of improving musical skills.D.To warn readers against developing illness.BA broken heart.A sad ending to a love affair.That’s something most of us have experienced,or probably will.The eight find yourself listening more to sad music,hoping it can resonate with your feelings of disappointment,and you’ll never heal from your broken heart.You might go through a strong feeling of sorrow,as in Neil Young’s OnlyLoveCanBreakYourHeart,or the pain of a lyric from Bob Dylan’s LoveSick:“I’msickoflove.Iwish.I’dnevermetyou.”But research shows listening to sad music can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.Or,from any negative,disappointing life situation.It can activate empathy(共情) and the desire to reach out for others—both pathways out of the prison of heartache and hopelessness.A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can lift the feelings ofempathy,compassion,and a desire for positive connection with others.That,itself,is psychologically healing.It draws you away from anxiety with yourself,and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.Another e the University of Kent,found that when people were eusic that was “beautiful but sad” eood.Infact,it did so when the person first consciously understood the situation causing their sadness before beginning to listen to the sad music.Thatis,when they intended that the sad music might help,they found that it did.But that wasn’t true if they just listened to sad music without first thinking about the sad situation.Then,you may be answering the question raised in the old Bee Gees’song,HowCanYouMendaBrokenHeart?5.What does the underlined word “resonate” in paragraph 1 refer to?municate.B.Cooperate.C.Contrast.D.Correspond.6.Why are the songs of Neil Young and Bob Dylan mentioned?A.To present the sad feelings from their songs.B.To celebrate their achievements in the music field.C.To compare the difference between their music.D.To convince others of the healing effects of music.7.What can we learn from the e University of Kent?A.Shared feelings might enable people to help others.B.Sad music can strengthen relationships between people.C.Showing empathy does good both mentally and physically.D.Sad songs can benefit people with the intention of lifting spirits.8.Which is a suitable title for the teusic bring to us?B.How can sad music heal a broken heart?C.Why is sad music so popular?D.When can we turn to others for help?Ⅱ.七选五My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item.Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White.This reminded me of my seventh grade musical—TheAdventuresofTomSawyer.I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky,the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend. 1 For starters,Becky had to sing numerous solos,and I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.I also didn’t have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson,themaid.I had to wear an ugly dress.And I had only one line to learn,“That’s what I say.” 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes,and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.At last,our production was put onstage.Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with “That’s what I say”.Ihadn’t known that she—or I—could be funny,or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night,I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supportingrole.Eachperson,onstage and backstage,is essential intheater.Without everyone doing their part,the play would be dull as dirt. 4 If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done.It’s all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson,to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be. 5A.So it is in life.B.It was not to be.C.It was anything but a great part.D.My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E.It took the entire cast to make a good show.F.There was an advantage,in my opinion,though.G.I would hope all children could be a hit in life.Ⅲ.语法填空China National Traditional Orchestra(乐团) launched its youth theater group in Beijing on Sunday.At the opening,centering around “Bringing Chinese stories to the world”,the group’s new productions and touring plans for this year 1.(announce).In January,theorchestra,QFun Theater and Guangzhou Opera House

高考英语一轮复习Unit5Music学案新人教版必修2音乐晨读·经历My First BandI was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. To be honest, I always dreamt of becoming a famous folk actor. I was so confident that I never decreased my devotion.I formed my first band called “Rolling Frog”. At the beginning, we relied on performing on instruments in pubs or to passers–by to earn extra money in cash. Then we wore false beards to pretend to be the musicians whom people were familiar with. In addition, we attached humorous acts to our performances and played jokes on each other. Soon, our “funny jazz” became famous and invitations to perform for broadcast stations began to come. Afterwards, we sorted out attractive music and made a record in a studio. A million or so copies were sold and we became millionaires.It was painful that the band broke up finally. But above all, I realized my dream to be a musician.我的第一支乐队我对音乐专门敏锐,只要简要地扫瞄一下乐谱,我就能演唱或演奏得专门好。

[技能提升] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand.A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind.Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal,music has a spiritual effect on a person.Different kinds of music influence people in different ways. I have listened to music all my life.When I was twelve years old,the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up.Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America.Their influence changed the way we dressed,looked,acted and spoke...even our culture.The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination (暗杀) of President John F·Kennedy,which had put America into a great depression.And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself. Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer.This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it.And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world.Music has a great way of touching people.Music can make you laugh,cry or shout.It's also a great source of inspiration. Try this one day and notice what happens:make yourself a cup of tea,sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs.Close your eyes,and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.
