Take Adventures in the Coming AutumnCJeanne Clamant, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the Ion gest-lived huma n being on record. A Japa nese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Cl amant lives in a small old people s home in the south of France; her husba nd, her only child and her gra ndson have all died. She is n early bli nd and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health tha n some one of 120. She still has a livelysense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotte n all about her.So what is the key to a long life? Accord ing to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smok ing are the three importa nt factors. Jea nne Clama nt has followed two of the tips（ 窍门）.She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glassed of stro ng red wine a day, and she does smoke （now only a little）. Besides, Jeanne Clamant might have got very good genes（基因）from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house whe n she was 80 un der an agreeme nt that he would pay her some m oney every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.

Which of the following could best replace the word“ movd in the fourthparagraph?A. deal B. trick C. march D. sport31. Why does Jeanne Calment say “ Sorry, I ?m still alive ” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreeme nt at 80 with the lawyer which was to her adva ntage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent tha n they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money tha n the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn t worth the money he has alreadypaid.DCan you believe your eyes? A rece nt experime nt suggeststhat the an swer to thatquesti on may depe nd on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the Uni versity of Stirli ng in Scotla nd, ledthe team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested theperception（ 观察力）of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. Theresearchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included151 childre n aged 4 to 10, and the seco nd group in cluded 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white backgro und. Oneof the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identifythe larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Ne xt, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of differentsizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here s where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surr oun ded by even smaller gray circles making the orange circle appear larger tha n the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surro un ded by even bigger gray circles so it appeared to be smaller tha n the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren tfooled they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older childre n and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As childre n get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability toiden tify visual con text（视觉语境） .In other words, they will begi n to process thewhole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.32. Doherty and his team of scie ntists did an experime nt to evaluate.A. children s and adults eye -sightB. people s ability to see accuratelyC. children s and adults brainsD. the in flue nee of people s age33. When asked to find the larger circle, .A. childre n at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones aroundB. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones aroundC. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones aroundD. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around34. Accord ing to the passage, we can know that.A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgro undB. an orange circle appears bigger tha n a gray one of the same sizeC. a circle surro un ded by other circles looks bigger tha n its real sizeD. a circle surro un ded by bigger ones looks smaller tha n its real size35. Visual con text may work whe n childre n get older than.A. 4B. 6C. 10D. 18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。选项中有两项为多余选项。HealthOur health is the only thing we really have in the world.You can take away ourmon ey, our house, or our clothes and we can survive.36That is why I eathealthfully, exercise regularly,a nd keep up my social life._37I try to avoid foods high in fat like French fries or cookies.
