　　Phyllis Ramberg,85,lives alone in Hyattsville,Maryland,in the same house for many decades.“Children keep asking me,‘When are you going to move to one of those retirement villages?’I say,‘No,no.My friends are here, my church is close,’”Ramberg said."I've got everything I need,right in this neighborhood."A year ago,Ramberg was able to take care of her backyard.This year,she just can't do it herself."When illnesses happen,you just don't have the capability that you thought you had before,"she said.
　　That's where "Aging in Place",a non-profit organization,comes in.Founder Lisa Walker says she and her friends are among the seven percent of Hyattsville residents who are 65 or older."A number of my neighbors are also around my age,"Walker said."We started talking about some of the concerns we had.Several of us had had issues with parents that were getting older and they were far away from them and didn't know how to take care of them or get support."
　　Seniors can call Walker's organization with a request,for example,asking for someone to shop for groceries,do small chores around the house or drive them to the doctor.Then a volunteer is assigned to provide the help.Most of the calls are for rides to the doctor."They take me to all my medical appointments,"said Louise Battiste,who is almost 90.
　　Aging in Place volunteer Sally Middlebrooks says that a review of new volunteers' bacnd,such as driving records and any criminal history is just as important as the training they receive.“We want the seniors,people we call neighbors,to be assured that they are with safe,reliable people who are also caring people,”Middlebrooks said.
　　The volunteers also gain some benefits."I've learned how to stay connected to people,your family and friends," Walker said."Do I stay close to them?Do I try to keep myself devoted to the community,relating to people younger than I am?"Middlebrooks said."I'm learning a lot about this whole process of aging,and I'm learning,to my alarm,that it's very difficult.But I'm also meeting people who amaze me with their flexibility and their sense of humor and their ability to stay very much alive despite aches and pains."
　　Not all volunteers are retired.Courtney Wattai,24,is a graduate student at American University in Washington who studies care giving and plans to have a career working with seniors."That's kind of what I want to do because I want to mare I'm able to improve their lives,"Wattai said.“I want to be involved in their lives,not just sitting at a desk doing things.I thought this would be a good way to give tribute to my grandparents and what they had done for me and my brother."
　　It makes Walker happy to see the younger generation stepping up.She hopes that's how residents in her neighborhood will always care for each other.
　　4. Why do people who want to be volunteers need to be checked?
　　A. Because seniors in the neighborhood just don't have the capability that they had before.
　　B. Because Aging in Place manteers get connected to people,their family and their friends.
　　C. Because Aging in Place plans for them to have a career working with seniors.
　　D. Because Aging in Place wants to mare the volunteers are qualified for their work.
　　5. In paragraph 5,by quoting Walker and Middlebrooks,the writer wants to show       .
　　A. staying connected to people is volunteers' responsibility
　　B. the work of caring for the old also brings good to the volunteers
　　C. the process of aging is very difficult for the volunteers to understand

　　CORAL reefs are,in fact,a necessary part of our ecosystem and provide opportunities for human beings to gain a better understanding of the ocean.Unfortunately,they're also disappearing faster than ever.
　　According to a warning by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) on Oct.8,the world is in its third recorded global coral bleaching（白化）since 1998 and 2010.This means no place with coral has been spared,as coral reefs are coming into contact with increasingly warm seas,which is leading to them dying off in large numbers.
　　Coral bleaching is liman cancer.It happens when corals are under stress from changes in light,nutrients,or temperature.This causes the coral to drive away the symbiotic algae（共生藻类）,living within their tissues（组织）, which play an important role in providing food for coral while making it colorful.Without the algae,coral reefs become pale and weak.In some cases they are not able to recover and eventually die off.
　　The current coral bleaching event started back in late 2014 and continued into this year with no signs of stopping.The BBC reports that 35% of coral reefs in the world will likely be affected,and an estimated 4,633 square miles (about 120,000 square kilometers) of coral reefs could die.
　　The loss of coral reefs is no small matter.Although they only tap 0.1% of the ocean floor,coral is home to about 25% of marine life.This isn't just a problem for divers and fish,as Eakin pointed out.Coral reefs are important globally,he added,as they protect shorelines,produce money in tourism,and help provide food for 500 million people worldwide.So people cannot overlook the environmental,economic and social effects of the loss.
　　The NOAA warning about coral bleaching came just about two months before a global climate summit（峰会）in Paris,where hundreds of world leaders will attempt to worr a plan to fight climate change.
　　Oceans will be a bject during the summit,and Eakin says there's an "absolutely urgent need" for action.
　　8. Coral reefs,according to the passage,are dying off in large numbers as a result of     .
　　A. disease    B. warm seas
　　C. dirty water    D. a lack of fool
　　9. What keeps coral reefs colorful?
　　A. Nutrients.    B. Their tissues.
　　C. Light from seawater.    D. The symbiotic algae.
　　10. The climate summit in Paris       .
　　A. will be held two months before he NOAA warning about coral bleaching
　　B. has wort a plan to fight climate change
　　C. will mainly discuss the problem of oceans
　　D. will regard oceans as a key topic of the global climate
　　11. Why are coral reefs important?
　　a.They protect shorelines.                              
　　b.They are beneficial to tourism.
　　c.They are home to most marine life.                    
　　d.They help provide food for 500 million people.
　　A. a b d    B. a c d
　　C. a b c    D. b c d
　　【答案】8. B    9. D    10. D    11. A
　　【解析】由于气候变暖，海水变暖CORAL reefs渐渐死去。CORAL reefs对人类很重要。巴黎气候峰会将海洋视为全球气候的一个关键议题。
　　8. B
　　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句This means no place with coral has been spared,as coral reefs are coming into contact with increasingly warm seas,which is leading to them dying off in large numbers.可知由于海水的变暖使Coral reefs正在死亡。故选B。
　　9. D
　　细节理解题。根据第二段中This causes the coral to drive away the symbiotic algae（共生藻类）,living within their tissues（组织）, which play an important role in providing food for coral while making it colorful可知The symbiotic algae.使Coral reefs变得华美、富有色彩。故选D。
　　10. D
　　细节理解题。根据最后一段Oceans will be a bject during the summit,and Eakin says there's an "absolutely urgent need" for action.可知巴黎气候峰会将海洋视为全球气候的一个关键议题。故选D。

　　Peter Thiel,the billionaire co-founder of PayPal,plans to live to be 120.Compared with some other tech billionaires,he doesn't seem particularly ambitious.Dmitry Itskov,the “godfather” of the Russian Internet,says his goal is to live to 10.000;and Sergey Brin,co-founder of Google,hopes to someday "cure death.
　　They aren't being ridiculous.Their search is based on real science that could fundamentally change what we know about life and about death.It’s hard to believe,though,since the human search for immortality is both ancient and filled with disastrous failures.Around 200 B.C.,the first emperor of China,Qin Shi Huang,accidentally killed himself trying to live forever;he poisoned himself by eating mercury（水银）pills.Centuries later, the search for eternal life wasn't much safer: In J492,Pope Innocent VIII died after blood transfusions from three healthy boys whose youth he believed he could absorb.
　　But historical examples haven't discouraged some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley.Thiel,for example,has given $3.5 million to the Methuselah Foundation.Aubrey de Grey,Methuselah's co-founder,says SENS,the nonprofit's main research is devoted to finding drugs that cure several types of age-related damage:"Loss of cells, excessive（过多的）cell division,inadequate cell death,garbage inside the cell,garbage outside the cell,...The idea is that the human body,being a machine,has a structure that determines all aspects of its function,so if we can restore that structure—at the molecular（分子的）and cellular（细胞的）level—then we will restore function too,so we will have comprehensively renewed the body."
　　But SENS,which has an annual operating budget of $5 million,is small,compared with the Brin-led Project Calico,Google's attempt to “cure death,”which is planning to pump billions into a partnership with medicine giant AbbVie.Google is secretive,but it's said to be building a drug to copy a gene associated with exceptional life span.
　　Then there's the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research,started by Paul F.Glenn in 1965.Since 2007,the foundation has distributed annual "Glenn Awards,"$60,000 to independent researchers doing promising work on aging.The Glenn Foundation also works closely with the Ellison Medical Foundation,a far younger institution (founded in 1997).Ellison's passion project gives out hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to scholars seeking research on aging.Their decision to fund independent research may be paying off.Research projects funded by Ellison and Glenn appear to be developing into a testable means to stave off old age—for lab mice.The question is: Can those lab results be repeated in humans?
　　12. Which of the following statements about those billionaires is true?
　　A. They are determined to dream big.
　　B. What they are doing is silly and unreasonable.
　　C. Their plan will end up in failure just like the Chinese emperor.
　　D. They feel let down by those examples that happened in the past.
　　13. Which of the following DOESN'T explain the theory behind the project of SENS?
　　A. Something wrong happens at the molecular and cellular level.
　　B. Repairing the damage is the key to bringing bacnction.
　　C. Cell death should be prevented and then our body will function well.
　　D. Structure decides how our body works.
　　14. According to the context,the underlined word "immortality"is close in meaning to the following expressions (also underlined) except       .
　　A. eternal life    B. renewing the body
　　C. life span    D. staving off old age
　　15. Which of the following is NOT true?
　　A. Probably the Glenn Foundation with the Ellison Medical Foundation will continue their efforts.
　　B. The Glenn Foundation with the Ellison Medical Foundation has supported people and projects devoted to the research of aging.
　　C. The Glenn Foundation with the Ellison Medical Foundation has proved the way of delaying aging in mice.
　　D. The Glenn Foundation with the Ellison Medical Foundation has wasted their time and money since it cannot be applied to human beings.
　　【答案】12. A    13. C    14. C    15. D
　　【解析】通过本文我们知道，人们一直在研究延长寿命的方法。
　　12. A
　　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句Peter Thiel,the billionaire co-founder of PayPal,plans to live to be 120.Compared with some other tech billionaires,he doesn't seem particularly ambitious.可知billionaires都有大的梦想。故选A。
　　13. C
　　推理判断题。根据第三段中The idea is that the human body,being a machine,has a structure that determines all aspects of its function,so if we can restore that structure—at the molecular（分子的）and cellular（细胞的）level—then we will restore function too,so we will have comprehensively renewed the body."可知A/B/D三项能解释SENS项目背后的理论，而C项不能，故选C。
　　14. C
　　词义猜测题。根据第二段中Centuries later, the search for eternal life wasn't much safer几个世纪以后，对永生的追寻，不是更安全；根据第三段最后一句then we will restore function too,so we will have comprehensively renewed the body." 然后我们也会恢复功能，所以我们将全面更新尸体；根据第五段中Glenn appear to be developing into a testable means to stave off old age—for lab mice. Glenn似乎成为延缓衰老的一个测试手段——对实验室的老鼠来说。再根据第二段中since the human search for immortality is both ancient and filled with disastrous failures由于对人类长生不老的追寻是个古老而又充满灾难的失败。综上所述。A/B/D和immortality的意思接近“延长寿命”，而C. life span寿命，使用期限，根据题干所问，可知答案为C。
　　15. D
　　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Since 2007,the foundation has distributed annual "Glenn Awards,"$60,000 to independent researchers doing promising work on aging.The Glenn Foundation also works closely with the Ellison Medical Foundation,a far younger institution (founded in 1997).Ellison's passion project gives out hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to scholars seeking research on aging.Their decision to fund independent research may be paying off.由此可知他们为独立研究提供资金的决定可能会得到回报。因此D项不正确，故选D。
　　第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan—a character from James Matthew Barrie's 1911 book—said:“All children,except one,grow up.”___16___
　　According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children's toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets（乐高积木）to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials—people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”commented website Koreaboo.___17___According to Frederique Tutt,all analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world.___18___“It reminds me of the playful side of life,”Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.
　　___19___To Franrendi,a professor at the University of Kent in The UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing "the thrills of youth" is the evidence that "adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore",he told The New York Times."That's actually quite sad."
　　___20___According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality."It's just pop culture stuff.It's stuff that says,I like a little of this and I like a little of that,"he told ABC,News."It's no big deal."So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it's time to introduce a new "fact",as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand LT:"Growing old is mandatory（强制性的）,but growing up is optional."
　　A.But scientists are probably just worrying too much.
　　B.Why do these lts turn to toys for pleasure and comfort?
　　C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "lts".
　　D.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say, getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.
　　E.The scientists are concerned that those lts show roo much individuality.
　　F.But this "fact" doesn't seem to apply to today's world anymore.
　　G.Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.
　　【答案】16. F    17. C   
　　18. D    19. G   
　　20. A
　　【解析】乐高积木、洋娃娃、拼图这些小孩子玩的玩具是否对于成年的你来说还有着莫大的吸引力？那么，你应该就是一个“lts”（童心未泯的成人）了。“衰老无法抗拒，但成长可以选择。
　　16. F
　　根据上句：在James Matthew Barrie 1911年做创作的Peter Pan一书中，主人公Peter Pan曾说道，“所有的孩子都要长大的，只有一个例外”。这曾是个事实。但是这一“事实”不再适用于今天的世界。故选F。
　　17. C
　　根据上句：“21世纪的成年人一次玩一个玩具，来疏导自己内心的孩子气，”Koreaboo网站评论道。由此可知C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "lts".（这也是为何这些大人有时被称为“童心未泯的成人”的原因。）故选C。
　　18. D
　　根据上句：NPD分析师弗雷德里克•塔特认为，这些成年人（做出如此举动）的原因，是为了逃避如今这个快节奏的世界所带来的压力。由此可知：他们倾向于玩具所带来的更即时的快乐，而非获得晋升等更难达成的事情所带来的快乐。故选D。
　　19. G
　　此句是段落首句，起承上启下的作用。根据下文：在英国肯特大学教授Franrendi 看来，如此多的成年人追逐“青春的刺激”这一事实，证明了“成年已完全不再具有吸引力，”他在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示。“这其实相当悲哀。”可知此空的意思应该是：尽管如此，一些社会学家认为这一趋势令人不安。故选G。
　　20. A
