The latest research indicates that men’s hearts going into a rapid decline when they reach middle age could be the cause. The research of ageing on the heart has shown that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose much pumping power with age.        “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20 percent-25 percent between 20 and 70 years of age,”said the head of the study, Samantha of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.        “Within the heart there are millions of cells which make it beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men, ”said Samantha. " This is part of the ageing process. "    What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could work almost as perfectly as a 20-year-old one’s.  “This gender(性别)difference might give the reason why men live shorter than women. ” said Samantha. They studied over 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 17 and 80,who are mainly healthy persons so as to reduce the influence of disease. “The team has yet to think about why ageing suffers a greater loss on the male heart. ”said Samantha.    But there is also good news—men can enjoy the health of their hearts with regular exercise. Samantha stressed that women should also take regular exercise to stop their leg muscles getting weaker as they age.【解析】  本文介绍了一项科学研究的结果：男人比女人寿命短主要是男人的心脏细胞在20岁到70岁之间损失掉三分之一，因而心脏的能力降低了20％—25％，而女人的心脏细胞在这一年龄阶段损失得很少。 (1)B猜测词义题。根据第一段的第一句话"Why do men live a shorter life than women? "可推知"longevity"的意思足“长寿”。(2)D主旨大意题。本文探讨了男人比女人寿命短的主要原因，那就是与心脏细胞数量的减少有关。男人的心脏细胞在20岁到70岁之间会丧失三分之一，因而心脏的能力降低了20％—25％，而女人的心脏细胞在这个年龄阶段几乎没有丧失。因此，本文的中心话题是心脏与长寿。(3)C 细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句"What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells”可知答案为C。(4)C细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，男人经常进行锻炼可以拥有健康的心脏，女人经常进行锻炼可以抵制腿部的肌肉衰弱无力。因此，要想长寿，就要积极锻炼。 *************************************************************结束单选题 高考预练1、John went to the hospital alone. If he             me about it, I would have gone with him.A. should tell     B. tells      C. told      D. had told    答案：D. 考点：考查虚拟语气。句意：约翰独自去了医院。如果他告诉我的话，我会跟他一起去的。解析：前一句是陈述语气，说明动发生在过去，而且后一句的主句已经是would have gone说明是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。与之对应的从句结构，应该用had +过去分词。2、—How about camping this weekend, just for a change?—OK,           you want. A．whichever   B．however     C．whatever   D．whoever答案：C解析：本题考查引导词。句意：“这个周末野营怎么样，来点新鲜的？”“好啊，按你的意思吧！”根据语境分析出后者支持前面的提出的观点。3、Many lifestyle patterns do such          great harm to health that they actually speed up          weakening of the human body. A．a; /    B．/; the    C．a; the    D．/; / 答案：B解析：本题考查冠词。句意：许多生活方式对人类的健康有害，他们加速了人类身体的衰退。本题考查冠词，对……有害用短语“do harm to”表示，中间无需冠词；之后的weakening是由动词的ing形式表示抽象的名词，表达一种概念、状况时需要加上the。4、The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people, many of        left their village homes for a better life in the city.   A．whom   B．which    C．them    D．those答案：A解析：本题考查定语从句引导词。由many之后的逗号和选项特征，此处是主从句关系，排除C、D项。由于先行词是“1,000 people”，表示人，故用whom。句意为：这里居住着将近1000人，他们中的许多人都背井离乡去城市追求更好的生活。 5、The majority of people in the town strongly        the plan to build a playground for children.   A．consider    B．support   C．confirm    D．submit答案：B解析：本题考查动词辨析。分析四个选项的意思：consider考虑，思考，认为等；support支持，拥护，维持；confirm证实，确认；submit使屈服，使经受。根据语境：镇上的大多数人都积极地拥护为孩子们建造运动场的计划。6、If you plant watermelon seeds in the spring, you        fresh watermelon in the fall.  A．eat     B．would eat   C．have eaten   D．will be eating 答案D解析：本题考查条件句的时态。根据句意：如果你在春天种下西瓜种子，你会在秋天吃到新鲜的西瓜。可以判断这是真实的条件从句，会发生的事情，所以选择will be eating表将来。 7、I have been convinced that the print media are usually more        and more reliable than television.     A．accurate        B．ridiculous   C．urgent   D．shallow   答案：A解析：本题考查形容词辨析。分析四个选项的意思：accurate 精确的；ridiculous可笑的，滑稽的；urgent紧急的；shallow浅的，肤浅的。根据句意：我确信印刷媒体常常会比电视更准确、更可靠。 8、I guess we’ve already talked about this before but I’ll ask you again just      .   A．by nature    B．in return    C．in case    D．by chance 答案：C解析：本题考查介词短语。分析四个选项的意思：by nature 天生地；in return作为回报，作为交换；in case 万一，以防；by chance偶然地。根据句意：我想我之前已经跟你谈论过这件事，但是以防万一，我再问你一次。 9、The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if         regularly, can improve our health.    A．being carried out  B．carrying out   C．carried out   D．to carry out 答案：C解析：本题考查if条件句中的省略情况。本句的句子的主语是the experiment；谓语动词是shows；that引导宾语从句，宾语从句的主干事：proper amounts of exercise can improve our health，if_____ regularly是插入的条件从句，从句的主语是proper amounts of exercise，此时应用it代替前面提到的主语，条件句的主语与主句的主语一致，并且含有is，故省略了it is，完整形式是：if it is carried out。句意为：这项实验表明，适当的运动，如果有规律的进行，能够有助于我们的身体健康。10、It is uncertain        side effect the medicine will bring about, although about two thousand patients have taken it.   A．that     B．what    C．how     D．whether答案：B解析：本题考查主语从句的引导词。根据句意：尽管大约有两千名病人服用过这种药物，但是，它会带来什么样的副作用还不确定。side effect意思是“副作用”，还原主语从句中的主干是the medicine will bring about ______ side effect。故选择what，形容词“什么样的”，起修饰作用。
