The researchers said they had no plans to patent the technique or profit from it.Instead，they expect to make a free test available on the Internet later this month to promote longevity research. The test might show something that people wouldn’t like to know，the BU scientists warned.Genetic testing often reveals attractive but incomplete information，and it is sometimes difficult to know how to respond.People with genes for extreme longevity could face a series of difficult decisions about their careers，retirement savings， insurance coverage，medical treatments and marriages in old age. Scientists have long sought to crack the genetic code of healthy aging.On average， people in developed countries can expect to live between 80 and 85 years，largely as a result of improvements in diet and public health.But the oldest of the old—the “wellderly”—live two to three decades longer，often free of mental and physical diseases. The free test will be available through a public website maintained by the New England Centenarian Study.But to take the test，people will have to provide their own complete genome—which currently can cost thousands of dollars from genesequencing companies. 36．What’s the best title of the text? A．New Discovery of Long Life B．New Functions of DNA on Long Life C．Scientists Invented Genes For Longevity D．The Discovery of the Genetic Code of Healthy Aging 37．The scientists started the program to ________. A．make more money from it 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 B．do research on long life C．become known all over the world D．find out the function of genes 38．People who live longer in developed countries ________.

A．must be healthy enough B．will spend a lot of money C．will be charged by the website D．have to take a series of examinations 40．According to the text people living extremely long ________. A．will meet with many social problems B．must save enough money for future use C．will usually suffer from hunger D．will have to face many natural disasters 36．D [主旨大意题。波士顿大学的科学家们通过分析世界上一些长寿者的 DNA，发现了长 寿的基因标志。] 37．B [由短文的第二段可知“这些研究人员不计划给这项技术申请专利，也不想以它牟利。 他们想在互联网上推出一项免费的长寿基因检测服务，以推动长寿研究”。] 38．C [由短文的第四段可知，“发达国家的人平均预期寿命长，这很大程度上应归功于饮 食和公共卫生状况的改善。”] 39．B [由短文的最后一段可知，“要参加实验必须提供基因，而基因测定要花很多钱。”] 40．A [由第三段的最后可知，“拥有长寿基因的人有可能要面临一系列有关自己今后生涯 的困难决定，如怎样规划退休储蓄、选择何种保险，如何处理医疗及老年婚姻问题。”] 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。 【2013 界广东省湛江市二模】 Dave Bruno works as an online marketing manager. Several years ago, one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house cleanup and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store. “After all were done, I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff”， says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100 Thing Challenge”. With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism…Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessions to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate-family-shared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks. Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul. Since completing the experiment, Bruno has continued to live by the motto: reduce, refuse, and rearrange and maintains just 110 personal things. “ Nearly three years of living with a minimal amount of personal possessions, I’m no longer in the habit of consuming for the sake of consumption(消费)，” he wrote in his blog last week, “That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors than shopping—like spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.” Bruno’s project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thing Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisingly easy”，says Bruno, “ I ’m not saying there were no challenges or disappointments. I miss some things, but not that much. Frankly, it’s far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.” 31. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? A. Bruno regretted to have an easy life. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 B. Bruno had a special behavior in reality, C. Bruno and his family led a happy life. D.

Thanks to 3D technology ， holographic images( 全 息 影 像 )and voice recognition technologies，Mona Lisa can speak and move.It is the first time the advanced technologies have been fused together in one exhibition，which gives audiences the opportunity to experience the wonders of advanced technology. Threedimensional，or 3D，technology creates visual illusions(错觉)and enables people to see images in the round that are actually only twodimensional. Although 3D technology is a difficult scientific concept，it is already being widely used in people’s daily lives.With the development of new threedimensional digital technologies，it has been changing people’s ways of communicating and working. Digital cameras that record in 3D have been brought to market. Manufacturers have also launched 3D digital photo frames，which can broadcast 3D photos.Processing software allows flat photos in the frame to achieve 3D visual effects that can be seen by users without wearing special glasses. After nine years of research，China took the lead to establish a 3D Internet marketing platform.Internet users can go shopping in a 3D environment just like in the real world by selecting goods，checking reviews and trying out recommended goods. Web 3D technology will be used in more fields such as automobiles and travel.In traveling，tourists can enjoy scenic spots，monuments and sites.They also can take to guides and other tourists，who are represented as 3D virtual figures. In Suzhou，the first online 3D police station in the world has been established.It 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 has eight functions including various online businesses，public services，warning tips and communication between the police and the public. 41．Why can Mona Lisa speak and move?
