閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty．This was Stephen Hawking．I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree．

But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73．Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive．He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship．

Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study．Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University．He was said to be a “l(fā)azy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement．Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well．But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began．In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32．

The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits．Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested． However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理論) has been to confirm and build on his idea． He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top ten living theoretical physicists．

1.What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?

A． His brilliant research．

B． His bestselling books．

C． His serious disease．

D． His defeating hardship．

2.What made Stephen Hawking start his research career at Cambridge?

A． His death sentence．

B． His “l(fā)azy” attitude．

C． His above average talent and ability．

D． His rich experience．

3.It can be inferred that Stephen Hawking was born ________．

A． in the early 1940s

B． in the late 1940s

C． in the early 1930s

D． in the late 1930s

4.What can we learn from the text?

A． Hawking’s theory was proved years ago．

B． Hawking was not as successful as Newton．

C． String theory built on Hawking’s ideA．

D． Hawking’s theory has had little influence on others．

5.Which of the following is Not True according the passage?

A． He achieved one success after another in his career despite his disease．

B． He couldn’t walk when the author first met him at Cambridge．

C． He not only survived his disease but contributed greatly to science．

D． He is among the greatest scientists to improve the knowledge of gravity．

One in five people carry a ‘smart gene’ variant(變體)linked to long lifespan, bigger forebrains and enhanced mental ability, researchers have found.

'We've known for a long time that people lose cognitive(認知) abilities as they age, but now we're beginning to understand that factors like KLOTHO can give people a boost in aging. Genetic variation in KLOTHO could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old, like Alzheimer’s disease(老年癡呆癥),” said senior author, Dena Dubal of University of California.

The KLOTHO gene affects a protein found in the kidneys and the brain that regulates many different body processes. About one in five people carry a single copy of the varian, known as KL-VS,which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function. A small minority, 3% of the population, has two copies, which is linked to a shorter lifespan.

In the new study scientists scanned the brains of 422 men and women aged 53 and over who were also tested for the KLOTHO gene. They found that participants with a single copy of the gene variant also had a larger brain region known as RDLPFC, which is especially likely to shrink with age. Loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time.

Researcher Dr Jennifer Yokoyama said, “ The brain region enhanced by genetic variation in KLOTHO is vulnerable(脆弱的)in aging and some mental disease. In this case, bigger size means better function. It will be important to determine whether the structure increase associated with carrying one copy of KL-VS can offset the cognitive shortage caused by disease.”

People who have one copy of a variant KL-VS tend to live longer and have lower chances of suffering a stroke (中風(fēng)),whereas people who have two copies may live shorter lives and have a higher risk of stroke.

1. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. People’s cognitive abilities do not decline if people have KLOTHO

B. With the clear understanding of KLOTHO, Alzheimer’s disease can be cured now.

C. Genetic variation in KLOTHO could be helpful in treating mental disease in elderly people

D. Genetic variation in KLOTHO could lead people to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease

2.If a person carries two copies of the gene variant, he/she may _______

A. have better kidney funtciton

B. have a shorter lifespan

C. have a higher level of the protein in his/her body

D. suffer from some cognitive disease

3.The reason why older people’s attention is easily distracted may be that _______.

A. they have fewer neurons in the RDLPEC

B. their brain region is too large

C. they have two copies of the gene variant

D. they have more neurons in the RDLPEC

4.What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Prevent

B. Balance

C. Keep

D. Promote

Citizens in big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. Traffic jams are seen here and there. It has serious influenced our daily life. To solve this problem, people have come up with pieces of advices. Some suggest that more roads and bridges are built. By this way, the traffic density can be reduced, thus speed up the flow of cars and buses. Others think buses should have their own special routes that can be used by other vehicles. In my opinion, we should limit a number of cars, particularly that of private cars, which had really become a big headache. When their increase is put in under control, it is possible to ease the traffic problem. Let’s hope that day will come as soon as possible.
