第三部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Neddine Parker is up by 7 in the morning. After her morning exercises and some housework, she drives to the local hospital, where she volunteers once a week. What makes Parker’s routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.

“I don’t know why I’m still here,” she said.

Dr. Thomas Perls of the Boston University Medical Center is trying to figure that out. As the director of the New England Centenarian (百岁老人) Study, he studies there “super humans”, those aged 100 years and older.

“It’s like winning the lottery”, he said. “You’ve got to choose the right numbers and the right combination.”

Researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic. For those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.

Reuben Landau’s mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. Landau is nearly 102, and he still practices law a few hours every day. Both Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy. They take few medications and have no major illness.

Perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of gene—E4—that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls also believes they may have a “protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. Parker, for example, smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke at 89.

However, living into your 100s isn’t just genetics. Aging successfully has much to do with environment and behavior. Landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. He’s convinced it’s why he’s still in good health. “People still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said Perls. So it’s not just the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.

According to the first two paragraphs, what Parker doesn’t know in fact means __________.

A. why researchers are studying her B. why she still can manage her routine

C. why she volunteers once a week in the hospital D. why she is still living at the age of 104

By saying “It’s like winning the lottery”, Dr. Thomas Perls means __________.

A. it is quite unusual to be a centenarian B. it is very difficult to find “super humans”

C. it is a tough job investigating the aging process D. it takes a long time to win a lottery

Why are Landau and Parker remarkably healthy according to the research?

A. Because they are remarkably active in mind. B. Because they lack a gene linked to illness.

C. Because they are fond of social work. D. Because they enjoy sports and housework.

According to the last paragraph, centenarians can live long, still depending on __________.

A. the genes they inherit B. environment and exercise

C. the right things to do before aging D. a close personal relationship

B

Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy.

Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an extremely important element of happiness. In his most recent book Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and promoting this much ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited—even improved their health.

As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He recommends you begin by acknowledging that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder.

Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, a caregiver or God—or any combination of these.

Expressing gratitude should not be a reaction. Instead, it should be a state of mind, To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than what you need is easy. To be grateful in times of crisis—anger, hatred and bitterness—is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.

It’s crisis a
