閱讀理解

　　Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age114．a(chǎn)nd held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday．

　　When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder．She lived to the ripe old age of 122．So is 122 the upper limit(限制)to the human life span(壽命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?

　　Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers．“Calment lived．to 122, SO it wouldn't sul33rise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas．

　　Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees．“People can live longer than we think．”he says．“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110．When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 1 20．So why can’t we go higher?”

　　The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing．“Anyone can make up a number．”says Rich Miller at the University, of guessing

　　　Michigan．“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine．”

　　Won’t new anti－aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of HS living until about 120．Researchers are working on treatments that make the life span of mice longer by 50 percent at most．

　　So, if the average(平均)human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120．”

　　So what can we learn from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington．“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer．”he says．“But a fly'snever going to live 150 years．”O(jiān)f course, if you became a new species(物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds．

　　Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(進(jìn)化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about．”He says with a smile．

(1)

What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?

[　　]

A．

People can live to 122．

B．

Old people are creative．

C．

Women are sporty at 85．

D．

[　　]

A．

the average human life span could be 110

B．

scientists cannot find ways to slow aging

C．

few people can expect to live to over 150

D．

experts aren’t sure how long one can live

(3)

Who thinks that a scientist will become famous if he makes longevity?

[　　]

A．

Jerry Shay．

B．

Steve Austad．

C．

Rich Miller．

D．

George Martin．

(4)

What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?

C．

閱讀理解

　　In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones．If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry．

　　Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲)．It tells you that someone is calling you．Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)”．Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening．How?

　　Mosquitotone has a special sound．Only children and teenagers can hear it．As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率)．As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it’s inaudible to someone 20 or older．

　　But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone．One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone．In class, the student’s phone rang．The 32-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy．“I heard that．You know the rule：no mobile phone in class．”

　　Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone．Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing．I may use it for pleasure, but not in class．It’s unfair to the teachers！”

　　What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters, ” says Connie Neeson,44．“Think about it．Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings．Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it．However, it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class．”
