In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100^th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilacbambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long too.

These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great- great- grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, “At what age does youth end?”, most of these old people has no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.

What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remember his life experiences: the Grimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.

All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet (1,660 to 4,000 meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollutionfree. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.

Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worried of industrial society.

Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.

Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilacbambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.

It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.

1. What kinds of things contribute to the remarkable long life of these peoples?

A. Moderate diets                    B. Clean mountain air.

C. Daily hard work.                  D. All the above factors（因素）.

2. How do you think the author feels about these long-lived people?

A. He is impressed with them          B. He doesn’t care.

C. He doesn’t like them.             D. He admires them.

3.According to the passage, the phrase “the passage of time” means ________.

A. have time to do what they want     B. being on time

C. time going by                      D. limited time

4.In the passage, why does the author describe Mr. Mamedov?

A. An example of a typical long life among these people.

B. An example of an unusual long life among these people.

C. An explanation of why he is still healthy.

D. An example of why his wife died early than him.

5.What is the main subject of this article?

A. Mr. Mamedov’s life.

B. A description of several societies where people live a long time.

C. Suggestions for how you can live long life.

D. People are healthy in mountainous regions.

Most people would say the sea is blue and green. But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red. It is not people who caused the colour change, but very small living thing in the sea. They are algae（藻类）and protozoa（原生动物）. They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown. Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide.”

Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right. In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea. These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly. The temperature of the sea is also important. Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius（摄氏的）. Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind. Living things grow easily in these places. Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake. They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow.

Those living things do more than change the colour of the water--they also put poison and mucus（黏液）into the sea. This is bad for fish. The poison is bad for their brains. And too much mucus in the sea fills up fish’s gills（鳃）, so they can’t breathe. Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches.

Red tides can be bad for people, too. The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad. It can make your eyes water. If people eat fish with too much algae inside, they could die.

Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now. Because of the red tide, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual.

In China, red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian, Guangdong and Hong Kong.

Many other countries sometimes also have red tides. But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides. They can last as long as 16 months.

1.What can cause the water in the sea to change its colour?

A. Algae.　　 B. Algae and protozoa.

C. Protozoa.　　 D. People and animals.

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Fishermen in the area sell less fresh seafood than usual.

B. People could die if they eat fish with too much algae inside.

C. Algae and protozoa can’t give off any poison and mucus into the water.

D. Eating fish with algae in them can make people’s eyes water.

3.Which of the following is not a cause of red tides?

A. People catch too many fish and eat too much seafood.

B. People and factories put more chemicals into the sea.

C. The temperature is at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

D. It is dry and warm and there is little wind in the area.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Don’t eat any fish with algae and mucus inside.

B. People should do their best to protect the sea.

C. The scientists have found good ways to stop red tides.

D. The forming of red tides and their harmfulness.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world.

Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, fruits, garden vegetables, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families barely harvested enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800's and it changed remarkably(明显地) in the next century.

Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive. The development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers has helped double and even triple the production of some major crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and products that animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor.

As farming has become less important as a way of life in the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Today's successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting, marketing, and finance. Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty surviving.

1. We are told in the first paragraph about ____.

A. the history of farming                       B. the importance of farming

C. the development of farming                  D. the changes of farming

2. Which of the following describes American farming before the 19th century?

A. Farmers didn’t work hard on their farms.

B. Farmers used tractors to help them.

C. Farming was the main way of living for most people.

D. Farmers could supply materials to industry.

3. Crop production has increased greatly now thanks to all the following EXCEPT __.

A. scientific methods                 B. labor- saving machinery

C. farmers’ hard work                 D. chemical fertilizers

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Traditional American farming.            B. The increase in the number of crops in the US.

C. Modern farming methods.                D. American farmers’ hard work.

5. The passage mainly talks about_____.

A. the advantages of American farming      B. the changes in American farming

C. the situation of American farms          D. how rapidly farming has developed
