Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Do you want to live never to die? Some experts say, it will not be a dream one day.Modern technology will make it come true. Man will live more years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality ,”said Michael, a professor and author of two books on human life expectancy. “I think by 2075 we will see it and it's no longer a dream. Humans' life expectancy may have no limit.”
At the meeting in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School said advances in using genes as well as other technology make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last more than about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease,they say failure of the brain and other parts of the body will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also hold different opinions on what kind of life man might live. “If you pass 120, you know, could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life? It's a big question,” said Leonard Poon, director of the university centre.“At present people who could get_to_that_point are not in good health at all.”
1.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Dying slowly. B.Living longer.
C.Living forever. D.Dying quickly.
2.What is Donald's attitude?
A.Human beings may never die in the future.
B.It is not certain how long humans can live.
C.The human body can last about 120 years.
D.It is possible for man to live longer in the future.
3.What does the phrase “get to that point” mean in the last sentence?
A.Get that idea.
B.Get to 120 years old.
C.Know how to live forever.
D.Have good quality of life.
4.What would be the best title for this text?
A.Living longer or not
B.Science and long living
C.No limit for human life
D.Healthy lifestyle and living
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是科学家研究人类是否能够活得更久更健康,以及不同的人对此问题的不同反应。
1.C [词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Do you want to live another 100 years or more?Do you want to live never to die?”可推知,画线词所在句意为“我想我们正在敲响永生之门”。画线词与living forever意思相近。故选C。]

3.B [词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“If you pass 120,you know,could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?It's a big question,”可知,“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”中的get to that point指的是“活到120岁”。故选B。]
4.A [主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Do you want to live never to die? Some experts say, it will not be a dream one day.Modern technology will make it come true. Man will live more years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life.”及下文不同的人对此问题的不同反应可知,本文讨论的主要是人类在未来是否可以活得更久一点。由此可知,Living longer or not适合作为本文最佳标题。故选A。]

Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体).
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908. Barbara was an active child with an interest in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.
She studied biology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later,she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany,the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master's degree in 1925. Two years later, she fulfilled all the requirements for a doctorate degree.
McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the Great Depression.Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand.
An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, which is a research center on Long Island, near New York City.McClintock started a temporary job in the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. In this way, she could steadily pursue her research there.
By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.
5.When did McClintock receive a doctorate degree?
A.In 1921. B.In 1923.
C.In 1925. D.In 1927.
6.What can we learn about the Great Depression in the US from the passage?
A.Young scientists had trouble finding a job.
B.Female geneticists were not needed at all.
C.Male geneticists were in great demand.
D.Male scientists were mostly out of work.
7.Why was McClintock awarded the Nobel Prize?
A.Because of her lifelong research in botany and biology.
B.Because of her contribution to genetic engineering.
C.Because of her discoveries about genes and chromosomes.
D.Because of her unshared work in the laboratory.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名女科学家芭芭拉·麦克林托克(Barbara McClintock)的经历,以及她在基因和染色体研究方面取得的重大成就。
5.D [细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“She completed a master's degree in 1925. Two years later, she fulfilled all the requirements for a doctorate degree.”可知,McClintock在1925年拿到了硕士学位,两年后,她符合了博士学位的所有的必要条件,所以她在1927年取得了博士学位。故选D。]
6.A [细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States.”可知,在20世纪30年代年轻的科学家很难找到工作,故选A。]
7.C [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.”可知,由于在基因和染色体研究方面的一些发现,McClintock获得了诺贝尔奖。故选C。]
