【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
One of Scotland's most active centenarians ( 百歲的人), Lady Morton, drove for nearly 80 years. She loved driving and spent the war years as an ambulance driver for Bangour Hospital. Aged 100 she was still driving around Edinburgh, up to Perthshire and elsewhere — the oldest among all the drivers in Scotland. But she had her first ever accident several days after her 100th birthday — she hit a traffic island (a raised area in the middle of a road where people can wait until it is safe to cross) when she took her new car for a drive in Edinburgh.
Lady Morton, who celebrated her 100th birthday in July, was given a car as a present. She talked about the accident happened that night. “I wasn't going fast, but I hit a traffic island. I couldn't see it, because it had no light, which I think was unbelievable and unreasonable. But I am all right and luckily my car wasn't badly damaged.
Although Lady Morton had the accident, she didn't plan to stop driving.“Some people are just born to drive, and I think I am one of them. I've been a good driver since the first time I got in a car, she said. “I am musical, so I listen to sound of the car to know when to change gear (檔位).
Lady Morton bought her first car in 1927. The main change she had noticed since then is the traffic. “It's appalling. However, I don't mind it, because I am experienced, but I feel very sorry for beginners,” she said.
（1）What was special about Lady Morton?
A.She was 100 years old.
B.She had the fewest traffic accidents.
C.She was the oldest driver in Scotland.
D.She had the most years of driving experience.
（2）How did Lady Morton's first accident happen?
A.She had poor eyesight.
B.She was driving too fast.
C.The traffic island was dark.
D.The lights of her car weren't on.
（3）What do Lady Morton's words in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A.She had a deep love for cars.
B.She was quite good at driving.
C.She had a great musical ability.
D.She drove better than any other driver.
（4）What does the underlined word “appalling” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Very good.
B.Fantastic.
C.Not bad.
D.Terrible.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了蘇格蘭百歲老人Lady Morton依然在駕駛汽車，但最近出了個事故，但她依然堅持繼續(xù)開車。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
What if our babies could somehow tell us what they're thinking about, what they want, and what makes them unhappy? Robyn Holt, researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand, says they can. Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop (研討會).
“Sign language is something that's always interested me, and I thought, it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”
Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin, now 12, and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk. She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic, 8, and Matthew, 3.
Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice (which is based on adult sign language) has been out in America for more than 30 years. But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.
The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so. Although many mothers develop an intuition (直覺) about whether their baby's crying is from hunger, tiredness, or pain, baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the mystery.
When babies are between 6-months and 12 to 13-months, parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding, and also talk about milk, so that the child begins to make the link (關(guān)聯(lián)) in their brain. Then they can begin to add other signs, i.e. food, sick or pain.
“I know of one parent. Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth, and she realised his first teeth were growing. It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.
（1）Why did Holt go to the baby sign language workshop?
A.To entertain her own children.
B.To better understand babies' needs.
C.To help babies with language problems.
D.To develop a new system of sign language.
（2）According to the text, baby sign language _____.
A.has been used in New Zealand for 30 years
B.can easily make the parents understood
C.has developed from adult sign language
D.was designed by Robyn Holt
（3）What does the underlined part “the mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.The ability to communicate.
B.Mothers' intuitions.
C.The cause of the baby's crying.
D.Baby sign language.
（4）Holt mentioned a parent and her child to show baby sign language is _____.
A.helpful
B.difficult
C.interesting
D.special

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命) often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of scheduled is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.
During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(沖浪)”in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.
（1）What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Find.
B.Copy.
C.Change.
D.Lose.
（2）Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?
A.They are caring and thoughtful.
B.They are worried and annoyed.
C.They are impatient and annoyed.
D.They are excited and curious.
（3）In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts ________.
A.get more pleasure in space than on the Earth.
B.finding living in space a bit boring and tiring
C.regard space life as common
D.love to see the Earth from space
（4）The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ________.
A.work for longer missions in space
B.connect with people on the Earth
C.observe with Earth from space
D.spend their free time in space

【題目】Known as GC-1, the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism（新陳代謝）, or burning off, of fat cells. “GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.

Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning, "good" brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity. Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.

GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（適應(yīng)性發(fā)熱）in fat cells from mice. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice, showed evidence of white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.

The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldn’t be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.

【1】What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?

A. To prove the harm of a new drug.

B. To introduce a new drug to people.

C. To explain the development of a new drug.

D. To inform people of some health knowledge.

【2】In the past, people held the belief that ________.

A. human babies have brown fat

B. animals don't have brown fat

C. only human adults have brown fat

D. brown fat may lose its activity over time

【3】What can we know about GC-1?

A. It can be used to treat obesity.

B. It is a cure for heart disease.

C. It is a drug intended for mice.

D. It has been sold in the drug store.

【4】Which of the following can make people lose weight?

A. Increasing more white fat.

B. Burning off more brown fat.

C. Changing white fat into brown fat.

D. Slowing down the activity of brown fat.
