For the past 100 years, people believed middle age to be around 50 years old. This is a time when we start to grow old. However, new research says we have to change this. A study from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIAS) in Austria and Stony Brook University in New York says middle age now starts at 60 or even 65, or older. Why?
The biggest reason is that we are living longer. We are also healthier, we have better diets, we exercise more and we have more money to live in a nicer lifestyle. The IIAS said, "Since life expectancy has increased over the past several decades, and are continuing to increase, people once considered old should actually be viewed as more middle aged."
The study was not a worldwide one so perhaps not everyone in all countries can say they are middle aged when they are 65. The researchers looked at populations in 39 European countries, so this is good news for Europeans. Britain’s National Health Service warned against looking at this study and believing it to be 100 percent true. It said the researchers did not look at things which could reduce life expectancy: "We don’t know whether, for example, they factored (把……因素包括进去) in the possible impact of being unable to treat infections because of rising antibiotic (抗生素) resistance, or the increased numbers of people with diabetes (糖尿病) due to obesity." It recommended healthy living, eating and exercise as a way to live longer.
1.What do people believe for the past century?
A.People start to grow old when they are about 50.
B.Middle age is far beyond 50 years old.
C.People will die at around 50 years old.
D.Middle age is a time when people become ill.
2.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.The main reason why we are living longer.
B.The reason why middle age now starts at 60 or even 65.
C.Life expectancy has increased.
D.Middle aged people were once considered old.
3.What do Britain’s National Health Service’s words mean?
A.It believes the study to be true.
B.To live longer, one should live a healthy life.
C.There are more people who suffer from diabetes due to obesity.
D.The researchers didn’t factor in the possible impact.
4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the study?
A.Indifferent. B.Supportive.
C.Negative. D.Objective.

When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer and he planed to produce a lot and sell them to the children in developing countries at a low price after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to surf the Internet. By improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone’, and that is always a good thing.
1.
It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because________.
A. it reduces waste and can help others
B. it prevents waste and can earn lots of money
C. it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries
D. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users
2.
The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte’s cheap computers________.
A. to show what high technology can bring us
B. to show the kindness of people in the developed countries
C. to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D. to give an example of how to help developing countries
3.
Where does this passage probably come from?________.
A. A newspaper. B. A magazine.
C. A lecture. D. An advertisement.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Winter is the time of year when people feel very blessed. This isn't because people feel thankful for the cold weather, nor because the important festivals---Christmas or Spring Festival---offer an excuse to celebrate. In fact, “Bless you!” is a common response if someone sneezes, a symptom(症状)of catching a cold or the flu.
Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses of autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. Viruses cause them. If you get one you will feel annoyed, but it is not usually serious. The flu is spread from person to person when we come into contact with a person with the virus. We get the virus on our hands and then we touch our noses and our mouths. We can pass on the flu before we realize we have it. You can infect(传染) others one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.
Getting a flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the illness. Even if your body has built up antibodies(抗体)for one kind of flu. The vaccine(疫苗)is only effective for one year and viruses are different from year to year, so it is necessary to get a flu vaccination every year. The best time to get the vaccination is October or November. Besides, there are other ways to reduce your chance of getting a flu. Wash your hands. Get enough rest. Eat garlic regularly. Don't let stress control you. Exercise regularly.
【小题 1】We say “Bless you!” when __________.
A. we feel annoyed at someone.
B. someone sneezes.
C. someone catches a cold or the flu.
D. we celebrate some important festivals.
【小题 2】How many ways are mentioned in the passage to stop you from catching the flu?
A. 6 B.5 C.7 D.3
【小题 3】The passage is intended to tell us ___________.
A. how to keep healthy . B. the causes of flu .
C. the influence of flu . D. what to do about flu.
【小题 4】We can infer the passage that____________.
A. People catch a cold or the flu only in autumn or winter.
B. people getting a flu vaccination won’t catch the illness for life.
C. flu can cause symptoms such as sore throat and a runny nose.
D. people with the virus of flu but having no symptoms can still infect others.

When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle(顶点) of sheer(纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get. 1. I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 2. I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 3. For adults, happiness is complex. 4. But I think a better definition of happiness is “ the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. 5.
A. Love may not last; loved ones die. |
B. For a child, happiness has a magic quality. |
C. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life. |
D. Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. |
E. The dictionary defines “happy” as “lucky” or “fortunate”. |
F. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess. |
G. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity. |
