26、 Older adults with a better sense of smell may live longer than those who have a poor sense of smell, a new study suggests. The study was a project of researchers in the United States that was continuing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2300 men and women to recognize 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults marks, from 0 to 12, based on how many smells they recognize correctly.
During the years of follow-up research, over 1200 of the adults died. When the study was started, none of the adults were weak. They could walk about half a kilometre, climb 10 steps and independently complete daily activities. In the latest findings, the researchers noted those with a weak nose were 30% more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. The findings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.
Honglei Chen, a doctor with Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, was the lead author of the report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good or excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign of worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing problems.
The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning of poor health in older age that goes beyond dementia (痴呆) or other neurodegenerative (神经变性的) diseases. These often signal the beginning of the weakening of the mind or body.
【1】What do we know about the study in the passage?
A.All the adults were in their eighties.
B.The adults were young and energetic.
C.The study lasted for more than 13 years.
D.The study involved international researchers.
【2】What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?
A.Over 1200 of the adults passed away.
B.One third of the adults had a poor sense of smell.
C.Many of the adults were found with health problems.
D.All the adults could perform daily activities independently.
【3】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.People with a poor sense of smell have heart disease.
B.Most older people may have breathing-related disease.
C.People with a poor sense of smell won’t suffer from cancer.
D.Older people should be careful with their health if they smell poorly.
【4】What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1?
A.主题 B.科目
C.实验对象 D.绘画或拍摄题材
27、 These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets.Rather than depend on another pre-existing planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves?
To start with, if we do want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid(液态的) water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements(元素). If we made our own new planet we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure(结构) We’ d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food since there s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!
According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0. 83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging(包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
【1】What's the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet?
A．To prepare enough food.
B．To design its inner structure.
C．To find a proper place to set the planet.
D．To collect materials similar to our Earth.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to?
A．Our Earth.
B．Outer space.
C．The new planet.
D．The ocean water.
【3】How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal?
A．About 0. 12 kilograms.
B．About 0. 71 kilograms.
C．About 0. 83 kilograms.
D．About 0.95 kilograms.
【4】What does the author think of creating a planet?
A．It is a waste of money and time.
B．It should be one of NASA’S next plans.
C．It is not a good idea for humans.
D．It won’t come true in the near future
28、To bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Games. But because they didn’t have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, when they arrived, not all of the competitors were prepared. One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani. When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, he’d only been training for the 100-meter freestyle for about eight months. He’d also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters. Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.
The three wild-card athletes were given their own race, and Moussambani was next to the other two swimmers from Niger and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to begin the game, both of Moussambani’s competitors were disqualified for false starts. Left to swim by himself, Moussambani dove in and dog paddled, breathing for air and moving his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked so serious that the audience seriously worried he was drowning.
When Moussambani finally passed the finish line and pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 - more than twice that of swimmers in the previous race. But Moussambani couldn’t have been happier. He told reporters, “I’ m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal success.”
Moussambani’s courage and determination made him an Olympic celebrity (名人). He kept training for the 2004 Games and even got his time down to a respectable 57 seconds.
【1】What can we infer about “wild card” athletes?
A．They arrive late.
B．They are well-prepared.
C．They are the best athletes.
D．They are from developing countries.
【2】How did Moussambani do in the race?
A．He lost in the race.
B．He swam unskillfully.
C．He failed at the beginning.
D．He disappointed everyone.
【3】How did Moussambani feel after finishing the race?
A．Extremely excited.
B．Quite ashamed.
C．Very disappointed.
D．Pretty calm.
【4】Which words can best describe Moussambani?
A．Smart and flexible.
B．Patient and careful.
C．Brave and determined.
D．Optimistic and modest.
29、 Almost all researches in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours. However, some of them believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers considered themselves as more empathetic (共鸣的). They also showed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks. Some other researches have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.
People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious, but rather had a general sensitivity (敏感) to all emotional experiences. Sensitivity is the driving force behind Intense (强烈的) dreams. Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in bad dreams and nightmares, while heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dream. And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares, or promoting (促进) social bonds and empathy (共鸣) after positive dreams.
The effects go further still. This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts: people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts. And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative advantage. For example, studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic expression. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.
The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity, people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative, positive and vivid as it can be distressing and frightening. What’s more, this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Even after people wake up and shake off the nightmare, in other words, a mark of it stays behind, occupying them throughout the day.
【1】What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?
A.They have no advantages at all.
B.They make people more empathetic.
C.They can contribute to humans’ creativity.
D.They are a reflection of waking behavior.
【2】How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theory according to the text?
A.Be more fearful to anxious to nightmares.
B.Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.
C.Avoid excitement as much as possible.
D.Promote social bonds and empathy.
【3】What does the underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Awareness. B.Content.
C.Relief. D.Determination.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Solution of Nightmares B.The Empathy of Nightmares
C.The Benefits of Nightmares D.The Tendency of Nightmares
