10、列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AWelcome to your future life! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old at all. And your

11、parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age! You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes color o

12、r pattern. You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldnt drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip. Its time to go to

13、work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you. So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much

14、 better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one examplewhat will be the next?21. We can learn from the text that in the future_. A. people will never get old B. everyone will look the same C. red will be the most popular color D. clothes will be able to change their pattern22. Wh

15、at can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Milk will be harmful to health. B. More drinks will be available for sale. C. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.D. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.23. Which of the following is mentioned in the text? A. Nothing c

16、an replace the Internet. B. Fridges will know what people need. C. Jacked sleeves can be used as a guide. D. Cars will be able to drive automatically.24. What is the text mainly about? A. Food and clothing in 2035. B. Future technology in everyday life. C. Medical treatments of the future. D. The re

17、ason for the success of new technology.BDecision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The res

18、earch suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images

19、(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed partici

20、pants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadnt gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress -at those moments, only th

21、e pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decis

22、ion-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the

23、 opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted

24、than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.25. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to _. A. keep rewards better in their memory B. recall consequences more effortlessly C. make risky decisions more frequently D. learn

25、a subject more effectively26. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their _. A. ways of making choices B. preference for pleasure C. tolerance of punishments D. responses to suggestions27. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, _. A. women find it easier t

26、o fall into certain habits B. men have a greater tendency to slow down C. women focus more on outcomes D. men are more likely to take risksCEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart

27、 problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In o

28、ne review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protectio

29、n Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with oth

30、er risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also b

31、ecome necessary to protect public health.28. The text mainly discusses the relationship between . A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food29. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. re

32、latively high B. extremely lowC. relatively low D. extremely high30. What can we learn from the text? A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.31.
