A

How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average (平均) life span(跨度) was 45. In 1950，70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old person is still thought young.

So, how old is old? The answer is one you've heard many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old(or young) as you feel.” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you've lived.

“Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they don't have their ideals (理想).” People should not have the wrong ideals about aging. Sometimes, old minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me happy who people say. You look young for your age.” What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 (可能30岁老死) and live young at 80.

( )26. About 100 years ago, the average life span was _______. A.35 B.80 C.70 D.45 ( )27. The meaning of the word “aging” is _______.

A．growing old B. staying young C. keeping healthy D. feeling unhappy

( )28. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Older people are not as bright as young people.

B. All older people are healthy and strong.

C. Aging does not mean you become unhealthy. D. Most older people are unhealthy and poor.

( )29. Which question is NOT answered in the passage? A. Can old people be as bright as young people? B. How old is “old” ?

C. What tells you how well you've lived? D. What is the average life span today? ( )30 .The passage is mainly about _______.

C. the 20th century D. older people and young people

B

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”

“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

( )31. From the passage we know that when we are learning English. A. we shouln’t put every word into our own language B. we shouldn’t look up every word in the dictionary C. we need to put every word into our own language D. we must read word by word

( )32. The writer thinks it is in learning English. A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order

C. important to master the rules in different ways D. easy to master the rules for word order ( )33. We can learn from the passage that . A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words

B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning

D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different

( )34. “She only likes apples,” ____________

A. is the same as “Only she likes apple”.
