If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.〞 They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it is imprac tical to destroy an entire ribosome〞when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.〞Price said, “ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.〞They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest.

Unit 5 Music一、阅读理解Chinese paper cutting or "jianzhi" is the art of cutting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called "chuang hua". Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.There are symmetrical(对称的)designs that are usually created by some folding and cutting. When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design. Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usually in an even number series of 2, 4, 24,etc.The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th century found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked papers. By the end of the Qing ruling, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced. The Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative. They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck. Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery(刺绣).There are two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. In the scissor method, several pieces of paper —up to eight —are fastened together. The image is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of oil and ashes. Skilled crafters can even cut out different drawings freely without stopping.1.When can the existing oldest paper cutting date back to?A. about 1 500 years ago.B. about 1 600 years ago.C. about 1 400 years ago.D. about 600 years ago.2.The underlined word "revive" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "_______".A. surviveB. restoreC. copyD. fix3.Which of the following words can best summarize the last paragraph?A.

必修2 Unit 5 Music李仕才一、阅读理解When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called . On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. ＂But if they could do it, I could do that too,＂ I thought.1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?A. Her Korean origin.B.A new style of dance.C. Her friends’ influence.D. The popularity of Gee.2.The underlined word ＂ditch＂ in Paragraph 1 probably means ＂________＂.A. forgetB. attendC. ignoreD. hate3.What do we know about the author’s mother?A. She has no interest in music.B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.4.After visiting , the author ________.A. dreamed of becoming a pop singerB. called the manager of the news siteC. contacted people who had auditionedD. knew she would never become a singer【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 5 Music 一、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

For over a century，the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for mills(工厂)，which gave jobs to thousands of people.Over the years，these paper，cotton，wood，and woolen mills had dumped their waste into its waters. By the 1960s，the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get.Its waters ran red or green or blue with dye (染料)from paper mills situated on its banks.The fumes(烟)from this dye blackened paint on the buildings near the river. Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming idea—clean up the Nashua.This was no one­woman campaign.Stoddart encouraged the paper mills and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the long­term problems of pollution. Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean­up.When she spoke to the board，she insisted that the Nashua should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic. However，the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993，several water treatment plants had been built，and a conservation area called a“greenway”had been created along the banks of the river. Today mills are still operating along the river，but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters，naturalists，and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together. 1．What does the underlined word“reclaim” refer to? A．Rescue. B．Enlarge. C．Monitor. D．Explore. 2．What's the board's attitude to Stoddart's goal of improving the river? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Neutral. D．Cautious. 3．What kind of person is Marion Stoddart? A．Independent and broad­minded. B．Determined and far­sighted. C．Intelligent and creative. D．Stubborn and proud. 4．What message is conveyed through the no one­woman campaign? A．It'll be all right on the night. B．Prevention is better than cure. C．Many hands make light work. D．Failure is the mother of success. 【解题导语】本文讲的是Marion Stoddart如何联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染。 【难句分析】None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together. 分析：本句用了虚拟语气。None of this would have been possible表示与过去事实相反的情况，without引出虚拟条件。 译文：如果没有一个具有远见卓识的女人和一个一起努力的团体，所有这一切都是不可能的。 1．A 考查词义猜测。结合语境及上下文中出现的“clean up the Nashua”“the clean­up”“cleaning up the river”等信息可知，此处指的应是河流治理方面的内容，由此可推知画线词的意思应是“改造”，与A项意思相近，故选A。 2．B 考查观点态度。根据第四段中的“When she spoke to the board...They thought her goals were unrealistic”可知，该委员会认为Stoddart改善河流状况的目标不切实际，即是持怀疑的态度的，故选B。 3．B 考查推理判断。根据文章第三、四段中对Stoddart为了改善河流状况东奔西走的描述及最后一段中的“a woman of vision”可知，Marion Stoddart是一个有决心和有远见卓识的人。故选B。 4．C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知，改善纳舒厄河被污染的现状并不是Stoddart一个人的战斗，她还积极地联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染，并最终收到成效。由此可知，C项“人多好办事，众人拾柴火焰高”符合题意。A项意为“车到山前必有路”；B项意为“预防优于补救”。
