Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1The pursuit of longevity has long been on people's minds, prompting an abundance of research on the effects of food and diet on the human lifespan. According to recent research from the UC Irvine Institute, drinking coffee and wine could help you live longer.The 90+ Study evaluated more than 1,600 people over the age of 90 for their lifestyle habits and other qualities that might have contributed to their longevity.Participants were visited every six months, when they were given various tests. Researchers also collected information about the participants, diets, lifestyles, and medical histories.They found out that two of the habits that helped preserve lives the most are drinking alcohol and coffee. "I have no explanation for it," admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate （适度的）drinking improves longevity.”So should we all be drinking more coffee and wine? While that would be great news, the research may not be as definitive as it seems.“Most studies about alcohol consumption, including The 90+ Study, are observational, so we can only say that something about drinking is associated with health and longevity,registered dietitian Jennifer Markowitz told The Daily Meal."I'd be curious to see if the coffee and alcohol drinkers shared other important habits or lifestyle factors that might also play into their longevity.”In other words, it might not be the wine and coffee that's helping people live longer, but the two substances do have some considerable health benefits. "Wine and coffee are packed with antioxidants（抗氧化齐！J） which are known to protect our bodies from damage caused by free radicals,explained registered dietitian Keri Gans to The Daily Meal. "Research on antioxidants has shown several heath benefits, including the possibility they may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, improve cognitive function, decrease the risk of dementia, and lower the risk of heart disease.”Moderate drinking can be beneficial according to other studies一so long as it's moderate.1、Whafs the passage mainly about?A. Antioxidants having a positive effect on the lifespan.B. The effects of food and diet on the human lifespan.C. Advocating drinking wine and coffee in our daily life.D. Moderate drinking helping people live longer.2、The information was collected about the participants in the 90+ Study except.A. food consumptionB. lifestyleC. hobbiesD. medical history3、How can the wine and coffee benefit people's health?A. They provide people with essential nutrition.B. They are rich in antioxidants.C. They protect free radicals in human bodies.D. They can bring relief to pain.4、What can we infer from the passage?A. Not all the people participating in the study are over 90.B. Most studies about alcohol consumption are based on observation.C. Over-drinking can also be beneficial according to other studies.D. Antioxidants can cure type 2 diabetes.Text 2LM. Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean （地下的）addition to the museum entrance.Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French and everyone else were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms . His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid （梯形） shape. Pei's solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant - one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric （ 几何的）shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation （仓惭）was never an intended goal."Stylistic originality is not my purpose/9 he said. "I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem. 1、What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?A. It was criticized by the French.B.

Their evenings and weekends are eaten up by twice-weekly travel games. Every day is the same; there's no break. No, these aren't Olympic athletes; they're kids.The benefits of sports are obvious. So, it's not surprising that, according to CNN, 41 million American children play competitive sports. But when does this become too much of a good thing?Seven years ago, a survey in SportingKid magazine found 84 percent of athletes9 parents had observed belligerent behavior in other parents at games and that 2 percent had been targets of this behavior. What does this say about sports culture, and our culture as a whole? Some parents have become so crazy about their children's winning that they don't stop to think about what example they are setting.If athletes are constantly surrounded by adults who scream at coaches and attack sports officials, they may think that this is acceptable behavior. They'll try to win at all costs. In other words, they won't know how to accept defeat, and learn from it.The amount of time some athletes spend practicing can be dangerous. According to Sports Illustrated, over 3.5 million athletes younger than 15 suffered from a sports-related injury-that's nearly one in ten! Many injuries cause permanent （永久 的）damage if not treated.So what can we do about this situation? Some argue that there is no problem, because sports has always been and will always be competitive. But did your grandparents spend hours each day practicing tennis or volleyball? No, they probably played with the neighborhood kids after school, not worrying about winning. All they wanted was to have fiin. And that's what we need to change in youth sports-focus on enjoyment.1、What does the underlined word “belligerent" refer to?A. Aggressive. B. Mild.C. Elegant. D.
