【正文】 down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.（1）What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1? A. So who was Alexander and how did he e up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teachertraining school, which is still successful today. The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which are exercisebased. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly.t know anything about the Alexander technique—and saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they39。6．犇犇閱讀理解 The Alexander technique根據(jù)第一段中的A single dose(劑量) of an experimental vaccine(疫苗) can protect mice against the Zika(寨卡) virus,可知，一種實驗性疫苗可以保護小鼠免受寨卡病毒侵襲，由此可知，本文主要介紹的是寨卡病毒疫苗對小白鼠非常有效，故選A。根據(jù)第三段中的US scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School tested two types of Zika vaccine in mice可知，美國科學(xué)家在白鼠身上只測試了兩種而不是兩種以上的寨卡病毒，故選B。 would still be years away可知，但是，即使這些進展順利，一種廣泛用于保護高危人群的授權(quán)疫苗仍需數(shù)年時間，也就是說如果人體試驗進展順利的話，短期內(nèi)仍無法獲得授權(quán)疫苗，故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk 173。More attention has been paid to Zika vaccine【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)一種實驗性疫苗可以保護小鼠免受寨卡病毒侵襲。Zika vaccine still has a long way to goC.works very well39。It is still unknown whether the vaccine is safe and effective.（3）Which can be the best title for the passage? A.US scientists have tested more than two types of Zika vaccine in mice.C.The Zika virus will cause less serious birth defects during pregnancy in months.（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.pregnant women in Africa will be the first to benefit from the vaccine.C.. A. Researchers say they will push ahead with developing the needed virus vaccine. There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA173。 would still be years away, experts advise. Zika has been spreading across Central and South America and, most recently, Africa. More than 60 countries and territories now have continuing transmission(傳播) of the disease, which is carried by mosquitoes. The virus causes serious birth damages during pregnancy and has been declared a global public health emergency. Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk 173。5．犇犇閱讀理解 C項正好與主旨句呼應(yīng)，故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。所以說，相較于老年人，年輕人的大腦花費更少的時間來處理信息。根據(jù)第一段中的最后兩句可知，年輕時之所以覺得日子似乎更長是因為大腦能夠以“快速射擊”的方式處理更多信息。故選B。根據(jù)第一段中的You39。故選A。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。The Older, the FasterD.Nerves and NeuronsB.Old people have fewer things to do than young people.D.Young people are more energetic in their life.B.D.C.B.Rapid fire abilities.（2）What is unavoidable in the process of getting old? A.Information in our brain.C.re happening more quickly.（1）What causes time to fly faster as we get old? A. Little babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they39。 abilities of the young brain allow us to process more information during youth, causing the days to seem longer earlier in life. However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information.ve got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons (神經(jīng)元).

The color change came in the 1960s when panies sold, steel plates, coated with green enamel (漆) instead of the traditional dark slate. The new material was lighter and less fragile than the first blackboards, so they were cheaper to ship and more likely to survive the journey.
