Yet, all living things still show the 2.effect of aging, which will eventually 3.result in death.Aging is not a disease, but as a person passes maturity, the cells of the body and the organs they form do not function as well as they did in childhood. The body provides less 4.protection against diseases and is more inclined 5.to accident.A number of related causes may contribute to aging. Some cells of the body have a fairly long life, but they are not 6.replaced when they die. In an aging person the new cells may not be as capable 7.of growth as those of a young person.Another 8.effect in aging may be changes within the cells themselves. Some of the protein chemicals in cells are known to change with age and become less flexible. This is why the skin of old people wrinkles. This is also the reason old people 9.shrink in height. There may be other more important chemicals changes in the cells. Some complex cell chemicals, such as DNA and RNA, store and 10.pass on information that the cells need. Aging may affect this process and change the information-carrying molecules so that they do not transmit the information as well.1. A:had B:use to C:were used to D:used to2.

The plane was moving unsteadily through the air, and although the passengers had 21.fastened their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward. At that moment, the air-hostess appeared. She looked very pale, but she was quite 22.calm. Speaking quickly but almost in a whisper she rmed everyone that the pilot had fainted and asked 24.if any of the passengers knew anything about machines -- or at least how to drive a car. After a moment's hesitation, a man got up and followed the stewardess into the pilot's cabin.25.Moving the pilot aside, the man took his seat and listened carefully to the urgent instructions that were 26.being sent by radio from the airport below. The plane was now dangerously close to the ground, but to everyone's relief, it soon began to 27.climb. The man 28.had to circle the airport several times in order to become 29.familiar with the controls.Following instructions, the man guided the plane towards the airfield. It shook violently as it touched the ground and then moved rapidly across the field, but after a long 30.run it stopped safely. Outside, a crowd of people who had been waiting anxiously rushed forward to congratulate the pilot on a perfect landing.21、A、installed B、fastened C、connected D、loosened22、A、calm B、pleasant C、sad D、nervous23、A、reported B、revealed C、announced D、informed24、A、if B、whoever C、what D、how25、A、Persuading B、Lying C、Moving D、Bringing26、A、sent B、being sent C、sending D、to be sent27、A、take off B、land C、climb D、decline28、A、intended to B、had to C、needed D、used to29、A、aware of B、sensitive to C、known to D、familiar with30、A、flight B、time C、run D、roadBADAC BCBDC1复习4Each morning, millions of us turn on our radios and televisions for the weather forecast. Do the cloudy skies mean rain? Will rising temperatures bring a spell (1) to melt snow and ice? Once we hear the forecast, we decide what clothes to wear and whether (2) to carry an umbrella or not.From time to time (3), though, weather forecasts are obviously (4) incorrect. Yes, though the accuracy of forecasts has improved dramatically (5) in recent years, predicting the weather is a fascinating mixture of art and science that is far from foolproof (6). What is involved in predicting the weather, and how reliable are weather forecasts?Today weather have some advanced tools at their disposal(7), the most basic of which measure air pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind.Predicting the weather, however, is not all hard science. The computers can only give some descriptions of the behavior of the atmosphere. Furthermore, even an accurate forecast for a large area may not take into cansideration (8) the effect of local area on the weather. So some degree (9) of art is also necessary. Here is where a weather forecast comes in. He uses his experience and judgment to determine what value to place (10) on the data he receives. This allows him to make a more accurate forecast.1.

The Silk Road is a name given to the many trade routes that connected Europe and the Mediterranean (地中海) with the Asian world. The route is over 6,500 km long and got its name because the early Chinese traded silk along it. Although silk was the main trading item, there were many other goods that travelled along the Silk Road between Eastern Asia and Europe. In the course of time, medicine, perfumes, spices and livestock (家畜) found their way between continents.The Chinese learned to make silk thousands of years ago. For a long time they were the only ones who knew how to make this precious material. Only the emperor, his family and his highest advisers were allowed to wear clothes made of silk. For a long time the Chinese guarded this secret very carefully. The ancient Romans were the first Europeans who became aware of this wonderful material. Trading started, often with Indians as middlemen(中间人) who traded silk with the Chinese in exchange for gold and silver which they got from the Romans.Travelling along the route was dangerous. The hot desert, high mountains and sandstorms made traveling a rough business. Most of the goods along the Silk Road were carried by caravans (商队) . Traders sometimes brought goods from one destination on the silk Road to another, from where the goods would be transported by someone else. Over the centuries people settled along the ancient route and many cities emerged. Later on there were fewer hardships to overcome, but by no means was it easy.In the early Middle Ages, traffic along the route decreased because of the decline of the Roman Empire. Trading along the Silk Road became stronger again between the 13th and 14th centuries, when the Mongols controlled central Asia. During the Age of Exploration the Silk Road lost its importance because new sea routes to Asia were discovered.我是李夏,是第31届大运会的志愿者,组委会安排我给来自世界各地的运动员推荐一个四川的旅游景点,要求写景点介绍,推荐理由,注意事项,100字左右Dear friends:Welcome to Chengdu,。

Passage 1It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __1__ to introduce equal pay for equal work.Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __2__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paidfor in this __3__ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __4__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __5__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.
