And e to think of it, these motives are generally present in the learning that goes on in the outside world. It is only in school that the pupil is expected to be unwilling to learn. 8．閱讀理解 科學(xué)家通過試驗證實人類平均壽命的跨度不能翻倍，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Jeanne Calment is the world39。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?

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.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.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. t we go higher? 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 entirely agree on the answers. Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn39。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?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. 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。s occupation or the economic level of the country.” 研究者們感到震驚的是，在家里看書對孩子的受教育程度的影響甚至超過了父母的受教育程度、父親的職業(yè)或國家的經(jīng)濟水平等因素的影響。根據(jù)第四段中的“The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。故選A。所以，家中有書可以激勵孩子獲得更高層次的教育水平?！笨芍瑫鴮⒆佑泻艽笥绊?。文章第二、三段一直說家中有書對孩子的積極影響。故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的“For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated”. 多年來，教育工作者一直認(rèn)為，預(yù)示孩子能獲取高教育水平的最強的因素莫過于有受過高等教育的父母”。Having books in the home.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，分析了影響孩子教育水平的因素，告訴我們家里有書對孩子的重要性勝于家長受過高等教育的影響。s occupation.C.B.The economic level of the country.Making somebody pretend to do something.D.Making somebody want to do something.B. level of education had nothing to do with their children39。children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB.Having books in the home is twice as important as the father39。s educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father39。 Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesseducated parents benefit the most from havi
