Music*閱讀理解。If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news-if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.” They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cells energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”Price said, “ribosome is a very plex machine, like a car.” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained, “you dont throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.”“Food,” he said, “isnt just material to be burned-its a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.” Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”1.What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?A. They can keep healthy easilyB. They need more energy to be activeC. They can look younger than they areD. They will live a longer life like humans2.What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?A. They will pletely break downB. They make proteins in the cells slowlyC. They will produce high quality proteins moreD. They may need more time to repair themselves3.Price explained the ribosomes role of repairing themselves by _.A. telling a storyB. listing basic dataC. making parisonsD. experimenting on mice4.What does the text mainly deal with?A. Food decides how long you liveB. Can you slow down your aging process?C. Eating less may help you live longerD.

篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，孩子對聽故事的興趣要大于看電視或者玩視頻游戲。文章通過一些數(shù)據(jù)告訴人們孩子喜歡聽故事，同時(shí)，父母和孩子一起讀故事也可以讓他們之間建立更親密的關(guān)系。1whom考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。句意：這項(xiàng)調(diào)查是在英國500個(gè)3至4歲的孩子中間進(jìn)行的，其中超過四分之三的孩子說，他們希望父母能經(jīng)常給他們讀故事。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，逗號后的句子是一個(gè)定語從句，解釋說明先行詞500 children，引導(dǎo)詞在從句中作介詞of的賓語，且指代先行詞，故用whom來引導(dǎo)。2better考查副詞的比較級。句意：差不多有三分之二的孩子說，跟父母一起讀故事能幫助他們睡得更香、更易入睡。根據(jù)下文中的比較級more easily可以推斷，設(shè)空處也用比較級。故填better。3to

bee。4funny考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意：他們可以用一些有趣的聲音來表現(xiàn)故事中不同的角色。修飾名詞用形容詞形式。故填名詞fun的形容詞形式funny，意為“有趣的”。5interesting考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意：他們也可以用自己特有的聲音使故事有趣，有吸引力。在“keep sth.adj.”結(jié)構(gòu)中，形容詞作賓補(bǔ)；并列連詞and連接兩個(gè)相同詞性的成分，故此處用形容詞interesting “有趣的”，修飾物。6a考查冠詞。句意：當(dāng)父母不在身邊時(shí)，超過30%的孩子喜歡從一些名人那里聽到睡前故事，比如哈利波特的主角丹尼爾拉德克利夫。根據(jù)句意可知，這里泛指一個(gè)故事，故填不定冠詞a。7are weled考查動(dòng)詞的語態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：其他的電影明星像扎克埃弗龍、米利賽勒斯和?，斘稚采钍芎⒆觽兿矚g。主語是復(fù)數(shù)名詞stars，且動(dòng)詞wele與主語之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填被動(dòng)形式are weled。8It考查代詞。句意：父母很難找到時(shí)間和孩子們一起讀故事?！癐t isadj.for sb. to do sth.”結(jié)構(gòu)中，it是形式主語，動(dòng)詞不定式短語是真正的主語。故填代詞It。9between考查介詞。句意：但是這些時(shí)刻有助于父母與子女建立親密的關(guān)系，同時(shí)對孩子的發(fā)展也很重要。between . and . 為固定搭配，意為“在和之間”。10development考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。名詞所有格后接名詞形式。故填動(dòng)詞develop的名詞形式development “發(fā)展”。*完形填空。When I was just out of college，I managed to get my dream job as a trader in New York City on the
