If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to image that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.16According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _.Adiseases and agingBaccidents and warCaccidents and agingDheart disease and war17In the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in _.Amedicine Bthe InternetCbrain cells Dhuman organs18Humans may live longer in the future because _.Aheart disease will be far away from usBhuman brains can decide the final deathCthe basic materials of cells will last foreverDhuman organs can be repaired by new medicine19How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?AOver 100 years.BMore than 120 years.CAbout 150 years.DThe passage doesnt tell us.20We can learn from the passage that _.Ahuman life will not last more than 120 years in the futureBhumans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowCmuch more needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeDwe have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsBCelebrities(名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.First, some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media.Television, radio, and magazines invade(侵扰) the lives of spectators with a variety of shows, information, and publications about stars and their lives.For instance, Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi(狗仔队)In May, Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas, Nevada.Media also invade stars lives because reporters know they get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists news.Second, some fanatic audiences imitate their celebrities because they lack confidence.Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression.For example, my cousin Jenny, who lacks a social life because of her introverted(内向的) personality, believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.Finally, several fans of stars imitate them because of peer(同龄人) pressure.Since my nieces girl friends formed an Antonio Banderas fan club, she had also joined the group.Although she wasnt a huge fan of his, now she collects most of Banderas possessions.In fact, when I asked Arianna, my niece, why she was part of Banderas fan club, she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.In conclusion, it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood, which entertains myriads of people all over the world; however, modern celebrities influence audiences to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate artists lives.21What does the passage mainly tell us?AWhy people are influenced by celebrities.BThe harmful influence of celebrities.CWhat kind of people are influenced by celebrities.DHow to avoid the influence of celebrities.22We can infer from Paragraph 2 that_.Amedia are on the side of starsBstars know how to take advantage of mediaCmedia can give wrong information about starsDmedia invade stars lives for their own good23Jenny acts and dresses like Jennifer Lopez because_.Ashe admires Jennifer Lopezs personalityBshe wants to become famous tooCshe wants to change her own personalityDshe lacks selfconfidence24Arianna joined the Antonio Banderas fan club to_.Aseek encouragement from the starBbe accepted by other teensCbecome a real fan of the starDlearn more about the star25The author of the passage probably believes that_.Aits easy for people to resist the influence of celebritiesBall young people are easily influenced by celebritiesCits no good for people to imitate celebrities blindlyDpeople can improve their personality by imitating their favorite stars答案课时作业(二十三) .作者现在是一位17岁的中学生。之前他利用业余时间打工。一天，在身心疲惫的时候，一个人的一句话使作者对自己的前途重燃希望。那句话是：You are going places(你前途无量)1D“我”去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down是现在分词作伴随状语，意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They_12_my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。2A应付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顾客。deal with表示“对付”；help with“帮助”；talk with“和交谈”；meet with“遇到，经受”。3B顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使动词，表示“使坐下”，be seated意为“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物动词，应为where they sit。4C她们碰巧坐在“我”存放用过的盘子附近的地方。spot表示“地方，地点”。5Athe dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生，所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。6C顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。该空指服务人员在餐馆的来回走动，穿梭服务。7A她们吃完饭的时候。根据下文的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D选项；complete往往用于完成“建筑物、工程、书籍”等；而finish指做完手中的事情，如“用完，吃完”等。8B她们询问“我”上哪个年级。通过上下文可知，作者是个打工的学生，故B项符合文意。grade表示“年级”；mark“分数”。9A她们从“我”身边走过时，有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。由下文的You are going places(你前途无量)推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者，所以只有A项符合语境。10C客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道，they指three elderly ladies，她们来餐馆用餐。11B根据文意可知，别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”，作者才得以重新振作起来。12B她们让“我”振作起来。pick up表示“使恢复精神”。put down“放下，镇压”；take over“接管”；point out“指出”。13B她们给了“我”继续努力的理由。reason表示某种行为的原因；cause表示某种现象的起因。14A有人曾经告诉“我”，没有学位，“我”就不能从事电视台的工作。下文的Im now a coanchor(联合主持人)of a studentproduced television_15_.暗示这里的答案。15Ca studentproduced television show表示学生制作的电视节目。show表示“演出，表演，节目”。.A本文主要讲述了人类的生命由于生物技术的发展可以无限期延长的愿望有可能成为现实。16A细节理解题。由文章第一段最后一句得知，当今生命的主要杀手是心脏病、癌症、年老。17A细节理解题。第二段前两句的意思是说“当今在讨论技术改变时，人们往往注意到的是网络。然而医药学方面的改变可能是这个时代真正技术方面的大事件”，故选A。18D推理判断题。由第二段的后半部分可知，在20502100年期间，每隔10年左右，人们可以通过吃药来修整生病或衰老的器官，这应是未来长寿的原因。19D细节理解题。阅读全文后得知，文章没有具体告诉我们人们将来能活多少年。20C推理推断题。由最后一段得知，想象一下将来技术的发展改变了人类最基本的生存条件，真是让人兴奋，但想达到美好的将来还有很多技术问题要解决。B当今社会，“玉米”、“钢丝”等成群结队，追星似乎成了人们的一大时尚。作者向我们分析了人们追星的原因以及自己对这一现象的看法。21A主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章开篇点题，告诉我们由于较高的社会地位以及经济地位，名人对一些人有很大的影响。下文分析了原因。22D事实细节题。第二段的最后一句点明了这些狗仔队员们侵犯名人生活的原因：获得更大的经济价值，即文章所说的： get high profits from readers。23D推理判断题。第三段分析人们崇拜名人的原因是because they lack confidence，后面用Jennifer Lopez的例子对此进行了证明。24B事实细节题。倒数第二段的最后一句说明了她这样做的原因：不想让其他的同伴排斥(she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens)。25C推理判断题。文章最后一段作者首先充分肯定了名人为社会所做出的贡献，然后笔锋一转，用however点明了自己的观点，名人已经影响观众到了这样一种程度： their fans admire and try to imitate artists lives，由此可以推出，作者认为盲目崇拜和模仿明星是不好的。111
