第二部分阅读理解(满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(6分)If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The 21.
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 cell’s 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 complex machine, like a car."They need "maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,"he explained, "you don’t throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires."
"Food,"he said, "isn’t just material to be burned---it’s 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."

A.They can keep healthy easily

D.They will live a longer life like humans
2、What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?
A.They will completely break down
B.They make proteins in the cells slowly
C.They will produce high quality proteins more
D.They may need more time to repair themselves
3、Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing the mselves by _________.
A.telling a story B.listing basic data
康熙来了 庾澄庆C.making comparisons D.experimenting on mice
4、What does the text mainly deal with?

B.Can you slow down your aging process?
C.Eating less may help you live longer
梁冠华D.Should your diet be reduced for your health?
22.(8分)The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange, but it spotlightings a very serious issue: clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.
Audrey Zhang, a fifth-grader from Levittown, N.Y, is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest, rising to the top of some 100, 000 entries on the theme of “draw one thing to make the world a better place.”
Her piece, titled “Back to Mother Nature,” describes a detailed water-cleaning machine. Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生动)her drawing.
苏芮歌曲“To make the world a better place, I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,” Google quoted Zhang as saying. “It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers, lakes and even oceans, then massively transforms the water into clean, safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”
She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons.
Zhang, s piece is “so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,’’ Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post. “Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”
王菲过眼云烟
Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage, Zhang wins a $30,000 college schol
arship. In addition, her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant, and the company is donating $20,000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.
On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net, Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win, but said she wouldn’t be awake when her art first went online at midnight.
“I have school-tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late,” she told the paper.

23.(8分)We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly,nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can "conquer" nature,but in reality nature will always be beyond our control---we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs,we need to consider it seriously.
But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors?Born in South London at the end of the Second World War,at least I knew what a sparrow was(they're rare now)and you couldn't put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew,too,that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban(极度城市化)as we may have been,at least we were in touch.
"Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders,and used to park helicopters,and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock live in factories They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life,if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then,quite simply,the world will fall apart--as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for,and why conservation matters to us,as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.
1、Which of the following opinions will the author be for?
A.Technology will help humans control nature completely.
B.Conquering nature is the policy of human society.
C.Humans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.
D.We will lose control of nature with the development of society.
