You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people.Long­living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous have no impact on whether study participants are likely to live longer.Those who are more self­disciplined, for instance, are no more likely to live to be very old.Also, being open to new ideas have no relationship with long life，which might explain all those bad­tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.8．According to the author，outgoing and sympathetic people________．A．have a good understanding of evolutionB．are probably more active and neuroticC．are more likely to recover from hardshipD．generally appear more resourceful9．What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?A．Helpful people can live a relatively long life.B．Being self­disciplined makes no difference to longevity.C．Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.D．Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.10．What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A．Mothers’ depression may affect their children’s life spans.B．People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.C．Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.D．Children’s personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.11．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A．Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B．A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.C．Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.D．A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.D(2017·陕西宝鸡检测二)You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors, and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s China Daily “21st Century·Coca­Cola Cup” National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary.The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion, Zhu Xue, is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runners­up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what? Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student, majoring in interactive media art.Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example, Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition, a skill probably honed(磨炼) in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.Qu Weiguo, a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges, believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂拥而来) ahead.“English majors may be superior at their language skills, but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments，” he said.Throughout the past 20 years, contestants at the competition have transitioned(变迁) from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.12．The underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 1 refers to“________”．A．permitted  B．controlledC．hosted  D．taught13．Who won the first place in the latest National English Speaking Competition?A．Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai.B． Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University.C．Zhu Xue from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.D．Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.14．According to the passage, what should English major competitors pay more attention to in the future?A．The content of the speeches.B．A good command of English language.C．Skills of making a speech.D．A cool head.15．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point　P：Point　Sp：Sub­point(次要点)　C：Conclusion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。(2017·青岛检测)What is Eco­fashion? Eco­fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.16．________Firstly, the production of textiles(纺织品) pollutes the environment heavily.Cotton­planting uses pesticides(杀虫剂); sheep­farming and wool­cleaning contribute to global warming.Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment.They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings.17.________Thirdly,  growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.We are now so quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.18．________To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future.There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable(可持续的，不破坏环境的) materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste.19.________There is some concern that eco­friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but in fact, more and more people are concerning about this and we can make sure that doesn’t happen.20.________A．Then, how to solve the problems?B．They relate directly to our personal health.C．Because choosing eco­fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.D．In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water.E．The fashion industry has developed quickly.F．On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.G．A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems.阅读提速练(三)第一节【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。利用网站和应用软件可以享受到便宜便捷的冬季旅游。文章介绍了有此功能的两个应用软件和一个网站。1．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“If you’re planning to set off for an adventure right away, try the GTFO(Get The Flight Out)app.”可知，GTFO是一款针对临时才定下来要去旅行的人的应用软件，故B项正确。2．C　解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段的标题“SNAG A DISCOUNTER HOTEL ROOM”并结合画线词后的“accommodations on Tingo...book a Price Drop room”可以判断，画线词意为“降价的，打折的”，此处表示在Tingo网站上预订打折的房间，故C项正确。3．D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句可知，HotelTonight软件涉及美国和加拿大的一百多个城市和地区，其价格和服务具有地方特色；据此可以判断，HotelTonight软件中的服务在各地是不一样的，故D项正确。4－7.DCAC【解题导语】　文章介绍与长寿相关的研究，探究影响长寿的因素。8．C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句．..those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.可知，爱交友(外向)及乐于助人(有同情心)的人在困难时会有足够的资源助其渡过难关。故选C项。9．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知， 我们认为某些性格特征可能有益于长寿， 然而事实并非如此，比如自律和长寿无关，这点出乎我们的意料。故选B项。10．A　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句可知， 母亲的抑郁情绪会影响孩子的寿命。故选A项。11．D　解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一句可知， 长寿与否受身体健康和心理健康两方面的影响。由此可知选D项。[导学号：65294065]　【解题导语】　人们可能会认为英语演讲比赛应该是英语专业学生的天下，但是中国日报社“21世纪·可口可乐杯”全国英语演讲比赛结果有力地证明了这种看法是错误的。本文介绍了获奖学生，分析了出现这种结果的原因，并给出建议：英语专业的学生要多关注演讲的内容。12．B　解析：词义猜测题。permit意为“允许”；control意为“控制；掌控”；host意为“主办；主持”；teach意为“教”。第一段第一句中提到来自其他专业的大学生都没有赢得英语演讲比赛的机会，由此可知，人们可能会认为英语演讲比赛都是英语专业的人获胜，也就是英语专业的人占有优势，这和control的意思相符，故选B项。13．C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，冠军是来自上海交通大学医学专业的朱雪。故选C项。14．A　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段一位复旦大学教授的话可知，英语专业的学生在语言技巧方面可能比较优秀，但是他们可能缺乏其他领域的知识来支撑他们的演讲和丰富他们的观点。最后一段指出：在过去的20年里，参加比赛的竞争者已经从仅仅注重语言技巧转变到更多地强调演讲的内容。根据这些信息可以推出英语专业的参赛者在将来应该更多地注意演讲的内容，故选A项。15．B　解析：推理判断题。分析文章结构可以发现，本文是总—分—总结构。第一段提出英语专业学生没有获得英语演讲比赛这一主题，下面三段利用事例来支持观点并分析原因，最后一段得出结论并指出英语专业的学生以后应该多注意演讲的内容。故选B项。第二节16－20.GDAFC
