My different life

高一英语长对话困难题查看答案及解析

Most of us lead a busy life.1.We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?

Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings.2.“There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains, “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example.3.One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?4.As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.”5.

A. Be aware of beauty in nature.

B. So please treasure relationship.

C. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty.

D. Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.

E. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.

F. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.

G. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.

How long could we live in the future?

Late last year, US researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research gave a very exciting answer: 500 years.

Think about it. If that had been the case many years ago, a person could have lived from the Ming Dynasty until now.

But that idea was challenged by scientists at a recent medical conference in the UK, The Times reported.

Speaking at the conference, British neurobiologist (神经生物学家) Sir Colin Blakemore, 70, claimed there is a limit on how long humans can live, and how much the body can age. Instead of 500 years, 120 years “might be a real absolute limit to human lifespan (寿命)”, he said.

His estimate was based on current statistics (数据) and a look at medical effects.

The number of people living past 100 in the world has increased by 71 percent in the past decade, the Daily Mail reported. Blakemore agreed that this figure would continue to rise. But people living for longer than 120 years is “so rarely exceeded (超过)” that, even with medical and technological progress, it is unlikely that we can expect more than that, he said.

His claims contradict (与……矛盾) those made previously by researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research in California.

In 2013, they changed two genetic (基因的) pathways in a tiny worm, and the creature lived life five times as long as a normal one. ①

If that technology could one day be used on human beings, it could extend (延长) human lives to 500 years, the Daily Mail reported. ②

But no matter which number is the ceiling (上限) for our lifespans, 120 or 500 years, it would take years for scientists to make that true for most people. ③

On Oct 21, the Gerontological Society of China published a report on centenarians (百岁老人) in China. There are 58,789 people above the age of 100 now in our country, with the oldest being 128 years old. ④

And by looking at these people’s lifestyles, the society worked out a recipe (秘诀) for a long life: outdoor activities, more communication with others, and a healthy diet containing lots of fruit, vegetables, and low-fat food.

So how long do you think you could live? If you play your part, your answer could be a satisfying one.

1.Which of the following statements does Sir Colin Blakemore agree with?

A.It’s impossible for humans to live past 120 years

B.It’s possible to expand humans’ lives to 500 years

C.More people are expected to live past 100 years

D.Chinese people live the healthiest way of life

2.The following sentence “We don’t have to completely rely on scientific breakthroughs to live a longer life, however.” can be placed in ________.

A.① B.②

C.③ D.④

3.According to the passage, people may not live longer if they ________.

A.take part in outdoor activities B.take in high-fat food

C.develop a healthy lifestyle D.talk with others more

4.What might be the best title of this passage?

A.Future lives “shortened” B.500 years, not a dream

C.120 years, the limit ceiling D.Future lives “extended”

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of a child’s life — something he or she may just expect and want to do. It can teach them:

A sense of responsibility (责任感). By volunteering, children and teens learn how to be on time for a job, do their best, and be proud of the results. And they also learn that, in the end, we are responsible for the well-being of our whole community (社区).

The knowledge that one person can make a difference. A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effort on someone or something else.

The benefit of sacrifice (奉献的好处). By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child, a child learns that it’s good to sacrifice sometimes. Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than ourselves and our needs.

Tolerance (容忍). Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds, abilities, ages, and education. They will likely find that even the most diverse people can be united by common values.

Job skills. Community service can help young people decide on their future careers. Learning to work as a team member, taking on leadership roles, setting project goals — these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in any future career.

How to fill free time wisely. If a child isn’t interested in traditional after-school activities, community service can be a wonderful choice.

1.You help a student who can’t go to school because of money. That is about _____.

A.a sense of responsibility B.job skills

C.tolerance D.the benefit of sacrifice

2.If you have to get on with all kinds of classmates — hardworking or lazy, workaholic or play-first, polite or rude, etc., what you need most is _____.

A.a sense of responsibility

B.the knowledge that one person can make a difference

C.tolerance

D.the benefit of sacrifice

3.The underlined word “diverse” (in Para. 5) probably means “_____”.

A.different B.interesting

C.personal D.selfish

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.What to do as a volunteer

B.What you can learn from volunteering

C.How to be a good volunteer

D.Learn to be a volunteer

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

If we bought only things we needed, there would be enough for everybody. What do we need? What you need depends on how old you are and your way of life. Rearrange the list of things you can buy and put the things you think we most need at the top of the list.

Coat             Designer jeans          Water       CD player

Dental check up   Restaurant meal     Telephone   Jewelry

Food          Shampoo             MP3 player  Beer

Toothpaste        Bar of chocolate        Cushion covers

If we don’t need to buy so much, we don’t need to work so much. We can take part-time jobs or reduce our working day from eight hours to six hours. Some people are leaving very well paid jobs to live a healthier life in the countryside or a more exciting life abroad. Parents can spend more time with their children and the unemployed are given more opportunities to work.

If we start to respect saving the earth more than spending money, we will become ‘conservers’ (保护者). When we are conservers, we try to choose environmentally friendly products that last a long time. We may find growing our own vegetables or making our own clothes more rewarding than buying them.

Next time you go shopping, think about what you really need to buy. Don’t deprive (剥夺) yourself of things you like, but decide what you should buy before you go out, so that you won’t be influenced by advertisements or promotions. If it is more expensive to buy goods that don’t have much packaging and things that are more durable (耐用的), buy less. If you can choose to work less, decide which things you would like to make, do or grow yourself. Even though you have less money, your life will become richer.

by Julie Bray
