Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time，according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people．Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease．Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far．

For the new Japanese study，researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older．

Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older for three years．Th ey found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing．Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups fl day．

The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older．

Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education．lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness．

They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on．Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability，Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women．

While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened．

66．Which of the following can summarize the passage best?

A．Green tea makes you less active．B．Green tea makes you less disabled．

C．Green tea makes you more friendly．D.Green tea makes you more educated．

67．The underlined word“ward off”in Paragraph 2 probably means.

A．form B．absorb C．remove D．prevent

68．Tomata and his colleagues wanted to .

A．prove whether the Japanese study is correct

B．know if green tea drinkers are independent

C．help nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older

D．study green tea's effect on cholesterol

69．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of green tea?

A．Reduce functional disability．B．Keep old people active．

C．Make more friends．D．Suffer fewer heart attacks．

70．It can be inferred from the last paragraph .

A．green tea is safe to drink B．green tea should be drunk properly

C．green tea is poisonous for old people D．vitamin K is helpful to us

D

American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system．When AIDS virus enters the blood，it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes(淋巴细胞)．The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes．Then it forces its way inside．There it directs the cells' genetic material to produce copies of the AIDS virus．This is how AIDS spreads．

Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from connecting to T4 ceils．When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell，it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein．Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood．This way the AIDS virus will connect to cloned protein instead of the real ones．Scientists use genetic engineering methods to make the clones．Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times；the AIDS virus must go to it．

In a new technique，however，the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell．It floats freely，so a lot more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 protein on T4 cells．One report says the．AIDS virus connects to cloned protein just as effectively as it connects to real protein．That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs．The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals．If successful，it may be tested in humans within a year．

71．The new technique can .

A．cure AIDS B．kill the AIDS virus

C．prevent the AIDS virus from spreading D．produce new anti-AIDS cells

72．When the AIDS virus enters the blood，it is reproduced by .

A．itself B．the blood cells

C．the CD4 protein D．the genetic material of T4 lymphocytes

73．The AIDS virus connects to cloned protein instead of the real CD4 protein because .

A．cloned protein stays On the T4 cells

B．it connects to cloned protein more effectively

C．cloned protein is made by genetic engineering methods

D．cloned protein floats freely，and many more can be put into the blood

74．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．The new technique has been tested in labs．

B．The new technique is being tested in animals．

C．The new technique may be tested in humans．

D．The new technique is now under clinic test．

75．The best title for this passage is ．

A．AIDS-a deadly disease B．A new technique in fighting AIDS

C．The spread of AIDS virus D．The cloned CD4 protein

第一节：阅读表达（满分10分）

阅读下列短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

[1] More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice. Whether you relocate because of a new job or school for you or your spouse, for a lower cost of living, or for better opportunities, adjusting to life in a new place can be scary and difficult—especially when you’re not in love with your new city. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your relocation and find happiness in your new home.

[2] Treat it as an adventure

Living in a new place is a great opportunity to experience new things and to grow as a person. So stay positive, and get out there and explore! Sample the local cuisine. Visit landmarks and museums. Try local activities that weren’t available or popular in your former city, such as skiing if you came from a beach town or surfing if you lived in the mountains. You may discover a talent or interest you never knew you had.

[3] Get involved

Attend local events that interest you. Visit the weekly farmer’s market or the neighborhood yard sale. V olunteer. Take a class. Join a sports league. All of these things will help you meet people and feel connected to your new town.

[4] Locate the necessities

Driving, riding, or walking around your new neighborhood is the best way to learn where everything is. So head out and take note of the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, post office, library, etc.

[5] Keep pieces of your old home

To keep from getting too homesick, subscribe to your former city magazine or newspaper. Display photos of or souvenirs from your favorite places in your old town. Hang decorations from your former home. Just don’t go overboard—hanging on to too much from your past will keep you from moving forward and really enjoying your new home.

[6] _________

It takes time to get to know a new place, so don’t e xpect to feel comfortable right away. Give yourself time to adjust. To help the process and to meet new people, find a support group near you at Just https://www.360docs.net/doc/c013162352.html,.

书面表达

Nowadays the phenomena of “Shanzhai” are becoming increasingly popular. For example, there are “Shanzhai” cellphones, “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Galas and “Shanzhai” stars. “Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own.. “Shanzhai” stars ,who imitate the real stars a nd put on a v a r i e t y o f p e r f o r m a n c e s,b r i n g p e o p l e f u n a n d pleasure.They offer people a chance to enjoy themselves.

However, “Shanzhai” products, such as cellphones and computers , which are modeled after some famous brands, have no quality guarantee and s ometimes bring people trouble, In that case, “Shanzhai” needs to be avoided because having quality goods is more important than buying things that sell at a low price but that will not last,

In a word, we must treat “Shanzhai” culture properly.
