【解析】【分析】本文為一篇記敘文,講述了遼寧撫順的銀行員工邢燕的失眠及治療經(jīng)歷,說明了目前全球范圍內(nèi)睡眠障礙的問題。 (1)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“I could not fall asleep at all at night, and was wide awake until dawn.”我整夜睡不著覺,一直醒到天亮,可知,邢燕第一次經(jīng)歷了失眠。由此猜測insomnia意為“失眠”。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“said the bank employee from Fushun, Liaoning province.”可知,邢燕是一名遼寧撫順的銀行員工。故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Despite seeing about 100 patients every day, the 12 doctors at the center are unable to meet demand, which means many patients endure a long wait before they can consult a physician, according to Sun.”可知,盡管每天約有100名患者就診,但該中心的12名醫(yī)生仍無法滿足需求。由此推知,治療失眠的醫(yī)生的需求很高。故選C。 (4)考查主旨大意。結(jié)合文章可知,全球范圍內(nèi),睡眠障礙的發(fā)病率正在上升。在中國,大約30%的人有睡眠障礙,大約10%的人經(jīng)常失眠。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday. When it es to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(壽命)? If scientists e up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond? Researchers don39。t entirely agree on the answers. Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn39。t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas. Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. People can live much longer than we think, he says. Experts used to say that humans couldn39。t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can39。t we go higher? The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it39。s all just guessing. Anyone can make up a number, says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine. Won39。t new antiaging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, adding another 50 percent would get you to 120. So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, he says. But a fly39。s never going to live 150 years. Of course, if you became a new species (物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds. Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (進(jìn)化)their way to longer life? It39。s pretty cool to think about, he says with a smile.(1)What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us? can live to 122. people are creative. are sporty at 85. live longer than men.(2)According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ______. average human life span could be 110 cannot find ways to slow aging people can expect to live to over 150 are not sure how long people can live(3)Who would agree that a scientist will bee famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity? Shay. Austad. Miller. Martin.(4)What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? of us could be good at sports even at 120. average human life span cannot be doubled. believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before. techniques could be used to change flies into a new species【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了科學(xué)家對(duì)長壽的不同觀點(diǎn)和對(duì)延長人的壽命的不同理解。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. ”說明人們可以活到122歲,故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。文章第四段中 的“People can live much longer than we think.”可知人類能活多長仍是未知數(shù),故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.,可知Rich Miller認(rèn)為科學(xué)家們,只要瘋狂的想法找機(jī)會(huì)成名,因此選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。最后三段提到了在老鼠身上做的實(shí)驗(yàn),證明生命是可以通過抗老技術(shù)延長的,但同時(shí)又提到生命是有限度的??茖W(xué)家通過試驗(yàn)證實(shí)人類平均壽命的跨度不能翻倍,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 Jolin Tsai, a famous singer, has bee an English teacher!
