You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people.Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous have no impact on whether study participants are likely to live longer.Those who are more self­disciplined, for instance, are no more likely to live to be very old.Also, being open to new ideas have no relationship with long life，which might explain all those bad­tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of alongstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.8．According to the author，outgoing and sympathetic people________．A．have a good understanding of evolutionB．are probably more active and neuroticC．are more likely to recover from hardshipD．generally appear more resourceful9．What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?A．Helpful people can live a relatively long life.B．Being self­disciplined makes no difference to longevity.C．Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.D．Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.10．What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A．Mothers’depression may affect their children’s life spans.B．People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.C．Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.D．Children’s personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.11．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A．Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B．A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.C．Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.D．A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.D(2017·陕西宝鸡检测二)You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors, and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s China Daily “21st Century·Coca­Cola Cup”National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary.The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion, Zhu Xue, is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runners­up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what? Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student, majoring in interactive media art.Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example, Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition, a skill probably honed(磨炼) in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.Qu Weiguo, a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges, believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂拥而来) ahead.“English majors may be superior at their language skills, but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments，”he said.Throughout the past 20 years, contestants at the competition have transitioned(变迁) from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.12．The underlined word “dominated”in Paragraph 1 refers to“________”．A．permitted B．controlledC．hosted D．taught13．Who won the first place in the latest National English Speaking Competition?A．Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai.B．Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University.C．Zhu Xue from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.D．Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.14．According to the passage, what should English major competitors pay more attention to in the future?A．The content of the speeches.B．A good command of English language.C．Skills of making a speech.D．A cool head.15．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub-point(次要点)C：Conclusion第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高考题型组合练36 阅读理解＋阅读理解＋书面表达Ⅰ.阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A(2017·太原高三一模)(导学号 58210075)Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make yo u feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.【语篇解读】文章简述了一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫，也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walking。

题型三 ⎪⎪ 阅读理解[全国卷3 年考情分析]从上表可以看出，高考英语阅读理解题，所选材料体裁多样、语言地道、内容丰富、贴近生活、有很强的时代气息。

阅读理解文章具有英语语言独有的文化特征，试题信息量大，对考生阅读速度和快速处理信息的能力要求更高。

阅读理解的体裁以说明文、记叙文、应用文为主，议论文偶有考查，题型设置以细节理解题和推理判断题为主，兼顾词义猜测题和主旨大意题。

细节理解题相对简单，而其他三种题型相对较难，且在题型设置上，推理判断题的难度会适当加大。

本专题将对这四种题型进行递进式的指导。

一、读文的2 种方式——据情而选方式(一) 文章——问题——文章即先粗读文章，然后看问题，最后再通过精读文章来解答问题。

这是考生常用的按部就班的阅读方式，其特点是有利于考生把握文章的主旨和作者的态度。

但采用这种阅读方式的考生往往阅读速度较慢，因此难以在阅读时积极主动的预测文章内容。

方式(二) 问题——文章——问题即先将问题看一遍，然后带着问题去阅读文章，最后答题。

其特点是针对性强，节省答题时间，比较适用于解答事实性和细节性的问题，但是解答主旨性和推断性问题的效果不明显。

上面这两种读文方式的采用因人而异，无优劣之分。

当然，题型不同，读文的方式也应有所不同。

但无论采用哪种方式，一旦选定适合自身的方式，应持之以恒，形成读文做题的习惯。

二、命题的8 大常考处——重点关注阅读理解的命题点有一定规律可寻，掌握命题规律，能帮助考生明确阅读时应该重点关注的内容，抓阅读的“敏感点”，提高阅读的针对性，快速、准确锁定信息区间，为准确解题圈定信息源。

1．段首、段尾处常考无论是议论文还是说明文，一篇文章往往分成几个部分或层次进行说明和论证，每个段落一般都是一个部分或者一个层次。

英美作者写文章的逻辑性非常强，文章结构都非常规范，因此每个段落的首句和尾句也经常是该段落的主旨句，也是出题的重点区域。

2．转折处常考文章的转折处也是体现作者观点和文章主题的地方，作者经常会通过先抑后扬的方法在转折词之后才明确提出自己的观点。

文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。

每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（Λ），并在其下面写出该加的次。

删除：把多余的用斜线（\）划掉。

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意：(1).每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；(2).只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
