My parents owned a neighborhood bar called the M NinetySeven, named after a nearby highway, on the corner of State Fair and Hoover Avenues in Detroit. Built in the 1930s, it had a long wooden bar that was on the right as you walked in. I grew up in the bar. When most kids of my age were at the park playing ball or riding bikes, I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard (沙壶球)．
My father spent his entire life serving drinks and bringing cheer to customers. There were the whitecollars who would step in to unwind from the day's stress. They would bend elbows with the bluecollars and day laborers on either side of them. It always surprised me that they were able to mingle (相交往). I would sit at the last table by the kitchen, sipping Cokes and eating a bag of Better Made potato chips with my twin sister, watching it all.
It was the 1960s version of a reality show. There was Big Bill, the tough talking policeman who stood six and a half feet tall and weighed just shy of the beer truck he drank daily. His views on society could be hard to listen to at times. But one night, he showed that he was all talk. While Bill was on patrol (巡逻), a call came over the radio about an apartment fire. He raced the scout car to the scene, beating even the fire crew. The building was ablaze. He ran up three flights of stairs through smoke and flames to rescue two frightened children. Bill carried them out in his arms like each was a carton of eggs. The man with an explosive mouth but a kegsized heart saved the day.
Years passed, my father died, and the bar was sold. Like secondhand smoke, the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me.

5．What's the purpose for the whitecollars to go to the bar?

D．Talkative and narrowhearted.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

C．Secondhand smoke is similar to the bar.

We often hear that 60 is the new 50. Just check out the images of your grandparents or greatgrandparents and notice their stooped (曲背的) bodies, their wrinkled faces when they were barely pushing 60. What a contrast with energetic, gymgoing sexagenarians (六十几岁的人) of today!
The research overseen by gerontologist Taina Rantanen，compared adults born in 1910 and 1914 with those born roughly 30 years later. Both birth groups were examined in person at age 60 and again at 70 with the same set of six physical tests and five measures of cognition.
According to the research, the laterborn group could walk faster, had a stronger hand grasp and could use more force with their lower legs. On cognitive tests, the laterborn group had better verbal fluency, and scored higher on a test matching numbers to symbols. But not everything changed across the generations: measures of lung function were surprisingly not changing, and there was no improvement in the shorttermmemory task of recalling a series of digits.
There are many reasons why people are aging better，including improved medical care and a drop in smoking, but the key factor shown in the study of physical function was that the laterborn adults were more physically active and had bigger bodies, which suggested better nutrition. For brain function, the key seemed to be more years of education.
“Education is a powerful influence on aging and health，”says Luigi Ferrucci, scientific director of the U. S. National Institute on Aging.“With more education, you are probably going to have a larger income, which means you are more likely to go to the doctor, and have good nutrition.” He also points out that the average lifespan is seven years shorter in a poor state such as Mississippi than in a wealthier one such as California.“Here we still have lots of people who cannot take the drugs they need because they cannot pay for them，” he says. In short, 60 may be the new 50 for many of us but not for all.
8．How does the writer begin the passage?
A．By imagining a scene.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By raising a question.
D．By presenting an image.
9．Which of the following is true about the research?
A．Everything didn't change across the generations.
B．The laterborn group could hardly grasp things tightly.
C．The laterborn group did worse in matching numbers to symbols.
D．There was a little improvement in shortterm memory in both groups.
10．According to the research, what contributes most to better physical aging?
A．Improved medical care.
B．Education.
C．Better nutrition.
D．Energetic images.
11．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Many reasons contribute to people's better physical function.
B．Today's energetic sexagenarians have much better images.
C．Education is the key to people's better aging.
D．People today are aging better than people born earlier.

On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab，Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai，India.While he was there，he noticed that throughout the day his Tshirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt. “I realized this was air pollution，or sooty (沾满煤烟子的) particulate matter (PM)，made of black particles released from exhausts (排气管) of vehicles，” Sharma says. “This is a major health issue.” Soot consists of tiny black particles，about 2.5 micrometers or smaller，made of carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
Back at MIT，Sharma set out to help solve this airpollution issue.After years of research and development，Sharma's startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators (柴油发电机) to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink，called AirInk，for artists around the world.So far，the startup has collected 1.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of AirInk have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1，000 artists，from Bangalore to Boston，Hong Kong，and London.
Posted all over Graviky Labs's social media platform page today are photos of art made from the AirInk and paints，including street wall paintings，body art and clothing prints.At first，there was still no specific application for the ink.Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art. “Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paints come from.Air pollution knows no borders.Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done.”Sharma says.
12．What did Sharma notice during his break in India?
A．Something looking like dirt on his Tshirts.
B．A health issue in the local area.

D．Incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
13．According to the text，AirInk is ________．
A．a cleaner of outdoor air
B．a product made of PM
C．a newly founded company
D．a printing technology
14．What can we infer about AirInk from the text?
A．It improves artistic effect.
B．It makes pollution acceptable.
C．It helps Sharma make a profit.
D．It raises environmental awareness.
15．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Art Knows No Borders
B．Waste Has No Price
C．Less Pollution，More Art
D．Creative Thinking，Effective Painting
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If your friendships are going to last a long time, you simply have to accept that things will always change. But never fear. 1 . Here is a little of their advice.
Start with the friendship triangle (三角形)．
Shasta Nelson is a friendship expert who gives a concept called the “friendship triangle”. 2 . Anyway, the base is positivity , and two sides of the triangle are consistency (一致性) and vulnerability (脆弱性). If your friendship has something wrong, it's much easier to see what is off balance and adjust it in time.
Figure out what you value.
Another helpful tool comes from Rachel Wilkerson Miller. Wilkerson Miller recommends looking at friendships through your TME—time, money and energy.“Those are your most valuable resources，”she says. “Think about where your TME is going, how you're spending it and who you're giving it to.” 3 ．
Don't be afraid to ask for things.
4 ．Being direct can feel awkward, but if you get into the habit of stating your needs, you can avoid a pile of hate much later on. “Ask for exactly what you need.” Havrilesky, a famous writer, says. “Sometimes it can work like medicine. So ask！”
5 ．
During a long life, you go through a lot of different versions of yourself. That can mean that sometimes, a friend is only present for a certain chapter—and that is OK.
A．Not every friend is going to be there forever
B．We offer some advice from experts to help you deal with the shifts in your friendship
C．Friendship is like a ship to carry you go further
D．The friendship triangle is made of three equally long sides
E．If you waste these resources, it might be time to shift the relationship
F．You should get comfortable asking for what you need
G．The expert recommends being clear when your friendship is no longer the same
