Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or a(n) __41__ relationship. The effect was first __42__ in 1858by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡妇)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage c ould add as much as seven years to a man?s life and two to a woman?s. The effect s __43__ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can __44__ to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn?t smoke. There?s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse?s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same __45__ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

So how does it work? The effects are, __46__ affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of __47__ later in life. People in supportive relationships may __48__ stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

A life partner, children and good friends are all __49__ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being __50__ out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”

III. Reading Comprehension（47分）

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Who needs sleep?

It?s 2 a.m. The time when you should be in beds, sound asleep. But pull back the curtains and you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is __51__ just for sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything we didn?t manage to finish during what used to be our __52__ hours. Now, __53__ sleeping, we can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights or go to the gym.

Such flexibility, __54__, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), a prehistoric internal clock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies __55__ during the day and allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a nightshift without break will not __56__ its rhythm, and

when scientists keep human volunteers in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, __57__ working against our body?s natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both physical and psychological damage. Research also shows it may actually __58__ our risk of health problems such as stomach diseases.

Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being completely __59__. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hours. This is going to have a(n) __60__ impact on quality and length of sleep. If people don?t go to bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and __61__. If you stuff your mind with information for too long, then everything gets disorganized ---you become __62__ to manage daytime activities.”

The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as __63__ itself. Our prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the day and probably in bed around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that of nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals ---our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The invention of the electric light obviously __64__ that. Like most biological systems, circadian rhythms are not made to __65__. Our internal clock runs a bit longer than 24 hours, hence its Latin name, circadian, which means “about a day.”

A

When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, i couldn?t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn?t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son?s frie nds will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

66.Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.

A. to satisfy his curiosity.

B. to please his mother.

C. to show his magical power.

D. to pay for the delivery.

67. What can be inferred from Para. 3?

A. He preferred tea to coffee.

B. He had a large sum of money.

C. He was treated as a family member.

D. He was a famous and popular person.

68. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A. It is forbidden by law.

B. Its service is getting poor.

C. It has been driven out of the market.

D. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

69.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A. He planted flowers in it.

B. He missed the good old days.

C. He needed it for his milk bottles.

D. He was fond of telling interesting stories.

C

A child's map often provides a much-needed rest for parents too. Time for an uninterrupted phone call, or a rest on the sofa. And naps have to be a good thing for preschools, surely, since they need to take a rest and get enough sleep for their brains to develop. Short naps have also been shown to be good for adults---improving alertness and reaction times.

So it feels counterintuitive for a review of 26 studies to conclude that napping in children over two years of age may not be a good idea at all. The review says that after two years of age, napping is associated with going to sleep late at night, poorer quality sleep and waking earlier. So should we discourage naps in preschool children -even if they really seem to need one?

Although the review talks about the effects of napping on two-year-olds, most of the evidence in review actually comes from studies on three-year-olds. Also, the authors of the view article are clear that the research on children?s naps is of poor quality; some studies rely on parents? remembering how much their children slept, or are for very short periods.

A study published in the journal of attention disorders in February suffers from some methodological shortcomings (for instance small numbers --only 28 children between the ages of three and four, and only for five days), but is at least a randomized (任意的) controlled trial, using actigraphs (活动记录仪) worn on the wrist to objectively measure sleep. It found that children who missed their naps slept better at night and scored higher in studies of memory and attention.

Dr Mark Mahone, one of the authors, says that sleep at night may be of a better quality than during daytime napping. Having a sound sleep at night, he says, provides a greater proportion of the slow-wave, restorative sleep that promotes brain development and reinforces what has been learned the day before. The study also found that the children who went without naps did not sleep more at weekends.

I could never get my children to nap, but for parents who can, there is no reason to stop. Mahone says that more research is needed before anyone starts making recommendation, and children?s sleep requirements are known to be variable.

74.The word ‘’counterintuitive?? in para. 2 most probably means _____.

A. difficult

B. unreasonable

C. revolutionary

D. meaningless

75.What does the author think of the study published in Attention Disoders？

A. Its objects are too young to take the test

B. Its findings are reliable due to the actigraphs

C. It has enough objects to produce the results

D. It provides various ways to help adults to take naps

76.According to Dr Mark Mahone, a better-quality night sleep will result in ______.

A. frequent rests on the sofa

B. higher efficiency of learning

C. more serious attention disorder

D. fewer daytime naps at weekends

77.The author talks mainly about his or her_______.

A. opinions on whether children needs naps

B. various systemic studies on children?s naps

C. comments on some studies on children?s naps

D. understanding of the functions of children?s naps

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Are bees happier in cities?

We often think of them as living happily in wildflower meadows (草场) and rolling fields. But new research suggests Britain?s bees are happier near towns and cities.

A new study of wildlife sites across four English counties has found that most are home to fewer species of bee today than they were in the past. It found that the expansion of farmland has actually been more damaging to Britain?s bee population than the concreting over (铺设混凝土) of the countryside for housing. For instance, meadows near Milton Keynes now boast more species of bee than sites in more rural areas.

Reading University researcher Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame. Climate change could be destroying the relationship between bees and plants. That's according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees, which can throw them out of the plants they rely on. The research is the first clear example of the potential for climate change to destroy such critical relationships between species.

While the gardens, parks and churchyards of towns and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to forage on and an extended flowering season, popular crops such as oilseed rape only bloom for a few weeks.

Dr senapathi said: …While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature, we?ve found that progressive urbanization may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture.

Urban areas may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants and an extended flowering season, according to the researcher.

“Over the past century rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large expanses of monoculture - the growing of a single type of plant, which has helped boost crop production. But without a mixture of habitat and food sources, rural areas can sometimes be little better than green deserts for biodiversity (生物多样性).”

Scientists around the country are trying to work out why populations of bees and other insects are falling. Pesticides, climate change and disease may, like intensive farming, be playing a role.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)

78. According to the new study of wildlife sites across four English countries, the number of bee species

is_____

79. According to Dr Senapathi, the development of cities causes __________________to bees than farmlands in suburbs.

80. What are the two advantages of urban areas over farmland when it comes to housing for bees?

What item in your home crawls with the most germs? If you say ___21___ toil et seat, you’re wrong. Kitchen sponges top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean them. In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone’s owner reported the theft before ___22___（die）from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and finally ___23___（confess）to the crime. ___24___ in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars?“That's all you,”says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell.“That’s biological information.” It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from ___25___ of your friends and family. They’re like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues. In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants’ homes, ___26___ countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner.

One day, microbial signatures might show ___29___ people have gone and what they have touched. They could prove ___30___ an unmarked device is yours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy.

What item in your home crawls with the most germs? If yo u say ___21___ toilet seat, you’re wrong. Kitchen sponges top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean them. In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone’s owner reported the theft before ___22___（die）from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and finally ___23___（confess）to the crime. ___24___ in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars? “That's all you,” says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell. “That’s biological information.” It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from ___25___ of your friends and family. They’re like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues. In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants’ homes, ___26___ countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner. In an ___27___（early）study, a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who ___28___ （ use ） a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature. One day, microbial signatures might show ___29___ people have gone and what they have touched. They could prove ___30___ an unmarked device is yours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy. Does that inspire you, or does it just bother you? 原文出处： https://https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d13488315.html,/articles/11355/257200/5a4246c87ba75

各种刊物发表了70余篇参与者的文章，这是上个世纪90年代以来最热闹的一场学术争鸣，怎样的作品才算经典？人们各执一词，难辨是非。 ②只有回到“人类为什么需要经典”这样一个问题的原点上，才能洞察到解决这一问题的有效方法。可以肯定，文学史家和批评家有谁不渴望了解更多的甚至全部文学现象呢？可这并不现实，不是他们不想了解更多，而是做不到，是不可能。于是文学史家在他们所写的文学史中，譬如，据说中国唐代创作的 诗歌大概有10 人，不同程度地讨论几百首诗歌；中国人编写的外国文学史，所展开讨论的作家一般也都限制在两位数以内，集中解读的作品多则在百部左右，把提到的作品算在内一般也就在六七百部上下。在这些中外文学史中集中阐释的作家，我们在一般情况下就会称为经典作家，集中阐释的作品我们也会称为经典作品。 ③人们面对浩瀚的文学世界，只选择了一部分来接触，这并非意味着要放弃全面把握认知对象的愿望，而是要同时实现两个目的：一是较少的认知投入；二是要了解更多。前者是量力而行，后者是靠近认知目的。那么，怎样才能实现看起来相互矛盾的两个目的呢？其基本思路就是企望以“较少”代表“许多”。文学史家和批评家所提供的所谓经典不论恰当不恰当，其核心标准就是这些作家作品的“代表性”，意在通过这些“代表”来实现 的目的。 ④由此可见，文学经典就是“读者认知需要的代表”。历史上经典的选择和确认首先发生在人类的教育过程中，这一反复出现的事实同样证明着经典与人们的认知需要的紧密关联。人们在生活的经历中会遇到许许多多的疑问和困惑，这些疑问和困惑并非都是认识上的问题，还有价值认同、身份确证、理想的达成、生命的安顿等方面。虽然有很多学科都在努力寻求问题的答案，诸如哲学、伦理学、历史学、科学等，但文学能够以其形象的世界和仿佛完整的人生模式，给读者提供丰富的体验性的审视空间。从这个意义上说，阅读文学经典是人认识自身和自身处境的最好方式。 ⑤文学经典进行攀谈，体验经典的情境和生命气息，打捞经典的价值和意义，还能激励人们把这一切逐步内化为自我的精神结构和在外气质。《诗经》中温柔敦厚的君子、《荷马史诗》中传唱千年的英雄，承载着无数人的价值追求。人的自我塑造总是朝着理想进行的，现实世界常常不能提供理想的样本，在文学经典这样一种象征系统中，人们总是能找到更加富有张力的答案。对于迷惘者而言，尤其需要这样的向导。 ⑥由于文学是“个人发挥想象的乐园”，读者有条件、也有可能对作品所提供的生活情景进行二度想象和创造。无论是对经典意义上的追寻，还是对作品的二度创造都是读者独立
