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。

Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解Chin ese paper cut ting or z，jia n^hi" is the art of cut ting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called ，z chuang hua"・Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.There are symmetrical （对称的）desig ns that are usually created by some folding and cutting. When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design. Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usual ly in an even number series of 2, 4, 24, etc.The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th ccnlury found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked papers. By the end of the Qing rul ing, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced. The Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative・ They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck. Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery （刺绣）.There are two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. In the scissor method, several pieces of paper — up to eight — are fastened together. The image is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.

Unit 5 Music 一、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
For over a century，the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for mills(工厂)，which gave jobs to thousands of people.Over the years，these paper，cotton，wood，and woolen mills had dumped their waste into its waters. By the 1960s，the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get.Its waters ran red or green or blue with dye (染料)from paper mills situated on its banks.The fumes(烟)from this dye blackened paint on the buildings near the river. Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming idea—clean up the Nashua.This was no onewoman campaign.Stoddart encouraged the paper mills and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the longterm problems of pollution. Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the cleanup.When she spoke to the board，she insisted that the Nashua should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic. However，the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993，several water treatment plants had been built，and a conservation area called a“greenway”had been created along the banks of the river. Today mills are still operating along the river，but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters，naturalists，and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together. 1．What does the underlined word“reclaim” refer to? A．Rescue. B．Enlarge. C．Monitor. D．Explore. 2．What's the board's attitude to Stoddart's goal of improving the river? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Neutral. D．Cautious. 3．What kind of person is Marion Stoddart? A．Independent and broadminded. B．Determined and farsighted. C．Intelligent and creative. D．Stubborn and proud. 4．What message is conveyed through the no onewoman campaign? A．It'll be all right on the night. B．Prevention is better than cure. C．Many hands make light work. D．Failure is the mother of success. 【解题导语】本文讲的是Marion Stoddart如何联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染。 【难句分析】None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together. 分析：本句用了虚拟语气。None of this would have been possible表示与过去事实相反的情况，without引出虚拟条件。 译文：如果没有一个具有远见卓识的女人和一个一起努力的团体，所有这一切都是不可能的。 1．A 考查词义猜测。结合语境及上下文中出现的“clean up the Nashua”“the cleanup”“cleaning up the river”等信息可知，此处指的应是河流治理方面的内容，由此可推知画线词的意思应是“改造”，与A项意思相近，故选A。 2．B 考查观点态度。根据第四段中的“When she spoke to the board...They thought her goals were unrealistic”可知，该委员会认为Stoddart改善河流状况的目标不切实际，即是持怀疑的态度的，故选B。 3．B 考查推理判断。根据文章第三、四段中对Stoddart为了改善河流状况东奔西走的描述及最后一段中的“a woman of vision”可知，Marion Stoddart是一个有决心和有远见卓识的人。故选B。 4．C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知，改善纳舒厄河被污染的现状并不是Stoddart一个人的战斗，她还积极地联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染，并最终收到成效。由此可知，C项“人多好办事，众人拾柴火焰高”符合题意。A项意为“车到山前必有路”；B项意为“预防优于补救”。

Melissa had been in a terrible car accident, and the doctor had little hope she would make it.“He said the next six to eight hours were critical in determining whether she would live or not. And I just wept，” Roman said. “A lot of pressure build up inside, and I just dropped my cell phone on the ground when I heard that. It was the worst feeling that I've ever felt.”Melissa, a college English professor, was on her way to class when her car hit into a mound of dirt and rolled over several times.Roman recalled, “I could only think how I am going to raise my kids without their mother.

She didn't recognize anyone, even her own husband.“Over the next few days, she remained unresponsive to treatments. The brain surgeon never really gave us much hope.”Days passed and Melissa didn't improve. Christmas Eve, Roman was by her side in the hospital. Then, he received a Christmas gift he would never forget.“That evening, she woke up and was just as clear as before, recognized everybody, was able to read. It was just amazing.
