B

At the age of twelve years,the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength,and its owner his or her full intelligence;but at this age the likelihood of death is least.Earlier,we were infants and young children,and consequently more vulnerable;later,we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which,though imperceptible at first,will finally become so steep that we can live no longer,however well we look after ourselves, and however well society,and our doctors,look after us.

This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing.It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars,accidents and disease we shall eventually"die of old age", and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person,so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner,a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it,and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive,however lucky and robust we are.

Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.We are so familiar with the fact that man ages,that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time,of becoming more likely to die the older we get,was something self-evident,like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that all animals,and probably other organisms such as trees,or even the universe itself,must in the nature of things "wear out".

Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do,if given the chance to live long enough;and mechanical systems like a wound watch,or the sun,do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics(热力学) (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present).But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages.A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.An old watch,by contrast,becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending.But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of living parts,only of metal,which wears away by friction.We could,at

one time,repair ourselves—well enough,at least,to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power;an illness which at twelve would knock us over,at eighty can knock us out,and into our grave.If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve,it would take about700years for half of us to die,and another700for the survivors to be reduced by half again.

39.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A.Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.

B.People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.

C.Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.

D.People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.

40.The word"it"in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to.

A.remaining alive until65.

B.remaining alive after80.

C.dying before65or after80.

D.dying between65and80.

41.What do the examples of watch show?

A.Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.

B.All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.

C.The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.

D.Human's ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.

【答案】39.A40.B41.D

【解析】

【分析】

本文围绕“衰老”这一话题展开论述，指出了人体生命力变化的抛物线趋势，12岁最旺盛，人类的衰老不可抗拒，人类的衰老和机械装置的衰老过程有很大区别。

【39题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段At the age of twelve years,the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength,and its owner his or her full intelligence;可知人在十二岁的时候，身体最旺盛。但它还没有达到最大和最强力量，还没

有达到全部智力发展高峰。A项错误，故选A。

【40题详解】

猜测词义题。根据第二段中Some of us will die sooner,a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade.But the chances are against it,and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive,however lucky and robust we are.可知一些人去世较早，少数人能活到90多岁到100岁。根据句中but和下文我们希望存活的时间实际上是有限的，故it指代前面提到的活到90多岁到100岁的长寿情况，故选B。

【41题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of living parts,only of metal,which wears away by friction.We could,at one time, repair ourselves—well enough,at least,to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.可知破损的手表由于自身结构问题，不能像人类一样进行自我修复。人类的自我修复可以在一定程度上缓解病痛，延长生命。用手表的例子是为了说明人类和手表等机械装置的衰老是有较大区别的。故选D。

【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象，包括考查it（指动物，无生命的事物、特定的事件或人），they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词)，he/she等人称代词的指代意义，以及指示代词this，that，these，those等在文章中的指代意义，考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人，物，事件的认知能力。解答这类题时，同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容，分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程，理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系，从而准确推断其指代的对象。例如，在第2小题中，根据第二段中Some of us will die sooner,a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade.But the chances are against it,and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive,however lucky and robust we are.可知一些人去世较早，少数人能活到90多岁到100岁。根据句中but和下文我们希望存活的时间实际上是有限的，指代前面提到的活到90多岁到100岁的长寿情况。

C

When the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do,they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.

As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires,they pass grand

buildings like the Teatro Colon,an opera house that opened in1908,and the Retiro railway station,completed in1915.In the43years leading up to1914,GDP had grown at an annual rate of6%,the fastest recorded in the world.In1914half of Buenos Aires’s population was foreign-born.Its income per head was92%of the average of 16rich economies.

It never got better than this.Its income per head is now43%of those same16 rich economies;it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.

The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists.“If a guy has been hit700,000shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him,”says Rafael di Tella.But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline.Firstly,Argentina may have been rich100years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy.Thirdly,when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.

Argentina was rich in1914because of commodities;its industrial base was only weakly developed.The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it:cheap labor was what counted.

Without a good education system,Argentina struggled to create competitive industries.It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period,but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.

Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture,open market and Britain,its biggest trading partner.If that bet turned sour,it would require a severe adjustment.The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade.Next came the Depression,which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain,another country in decline,backfired(失败)as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.

After the Second World War,when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy.An institution to control foreign trade was created in1946;the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary

Argentines.Open borders increased farmers’taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry.Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves;limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩)that drive down local prices.But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land,enabling other countries to steal market shares.

42.Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show________.

A.Argentines were talented

B.Argentina was once a rich country

C.Argentines miss the past of Argentina

D.Argentina has a suitable infrastructure

43.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Argentina is richer than Uruguay.

B.Argentina was once attractive to immigrants.

C.Britain is playing a leading role in the development of Argentina.

D.Argentina is not serious about its agriculture and open markets.

44.The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that________.

A.the decline of Argentina welcomes an analysis from authorities

B.it is hard to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

C.it takes time to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

D.Argentina has declined for many reasons

45.What is the root of the problem of Argentina’s trade policy?

A.Argentina depends heavily on foreign technology.

B.Many world events caused Argentina to break down.

C.Argentina failed in adjusting itself appropriately.

D.The conflicts between classes needed to be solved.

【答案】42.B43.B44.D45.C

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了阿根廷经济发展的过程、经济现状及衰退的原因。

【42题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中Its income per head was92%of the average of16rich economies.可知其人均收入是16个富裕经济体平均水平的92%。由此可推知，第二段提到了宏伟的建筑，是为了表明阿根廷曾经是一个富裕的国家。故选B。

【43题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中In1914half of Buenos Aires's population was foreign-bor.可知1914年，布宜诺斯艾利斯一半的人口是外国出生的。由此可知，当时阿根廷有许多外国人，将近一半的人口是外国出生的，阿根廷曾经对移民很有吸引力。故选B。

【44题详解】

词句猜测题。根据后文But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline.可知但有三种深层次的解释有助于解释阿根廷这个国家的衰落。由此可知，此处分析阿根廷经济衰退的三个深层次的原因，表明原因不止一个，有许多原因。故第4段加下划线的这句话意思是，阿根廷由于许多原因而衰落。故选D。

【45题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中The second theory stresses the role of trade policy.Thirdly, when it needed to change,Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.可知第二种理论强调贸易政策的作用。第三，当需要改变时，阿根廷缺乏制定成功政策的体系。以及倒数第二段中Next came the Depression,which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended.Dependence on Britain,another country in decline, backfired as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.可知接下来是大萧条，它摧毁了阿根廷所依赖的开放贸易体系。另一个正在衰落的国家英国对阿根廷的依赖产生了反作用，因为阿根廷青睐的出口市场与英联邦国家签署了优惠协议。由此可知，阿根廷贸易政策问题的根源是阿根廷未能进行适当的调整。故选C。

【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。如第二小题属于是非辨别型。根据第二段中In1914half of Buenos Aires's population was foreign-bor.可知1914年，布宜诺斯艾利斯一半的人口是外国出生的。由此可知，当时阿根廷有许多外国人，将近一半的人口是外
