test that could let people learn whether they can live to a very old age.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 wouldnt 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 oldthe “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 genomewhich currently can cost thousands of dollars from genesequencing companies.36whats the best title of the text?anew discovery of long lifebnew functions of dna on long lifecscientists

population was booming and spreading west in the early 1800s. westward expansion came mostly at the expense of the indians who were often forced to move from their native lands. in the state of georgia, the population increased 600 percent in the matter of 40 years. as a result, many of its native tribes(部落) were pushed out. the cherokee indians, of western georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828. in 1830, however, president andrew jackson authorized (批準(zhǔn)) the indian removal act. the cherokees fought the law, and it was overturned by chief justice john marshall two years later.just three years later, however, in 1835, the treaty of new echota was signed. the treaty was not authorized by the cherokee nation, but rather, a small group of cherokee radicals led by john ridge. under the treaty, the cherokee were to leave georgia and the government would compensate them at a price determined to be about 5 percent of the value of the land. the majority of the cherokee nation would never had agreed to the treaty, but the u.s. government ratified it anyway. john ridge was thus seen as a traitor by the cherokees - and would later pay with his life. the georgia government then staged a land lottery in which cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions. they were sold to anyone who had $4.00 and who had won a chance to own land. in 1838, general winfield scott and 7,000 troops invaded cherokee land. men, women, and children were forced to walk westward from georgia nearly 1,000 miles with minimal facilities and food, to reservations set up for them in oklahoma. cherokee chief john ross, eventually was able to convince winfield scott that his people should lead the tribe west. scott agreed and ross divided the people into smaller groups so they could forage for food on their own. although ross may have save countless lives, nearly 4,000 indians died walking this trail of tears. 1. which of the following happened first?a. cherokees walk to oklahoma.b. the indian removal act.c. the treaty of new echota.d. the georgia “l(fā)and lottery”. 答案解析：答案為b。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句話 “in 1830, however, president andrew jackson authorized the indian removal act.”可知，b選項發(fā)生在1830年；由第三段第一句話 “just three years later, however, in 1835, the treaty of new echota was signed.”可知，c選項發(fā)生在1835年；由第三段倒數(shù)第二句話 “the georgia government then staged a land lottery in which cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions.”可知，d選項發(fā)生在treaty of new echota后; 由最后一段前兩句話 “ in 1838, general winfield scott and 7,000 troops invaded cherokee land. set up for them in oklahoma.”可知，a選項發(fā)生在最后。故答案為b。2. the underlined part “ratified it” (in para. 3) can be replaced by “ ”. a. made it officialb. signed it secretlyc. removed itd. ignored it 答案解析：答案為a。本題為語義推斷題。結(jié)合該短語出現(xiàn)的句子 “the majority of the cherokee nation would never had agreed to the treaty, but the u.s. government ratified it anyway.”, “ratified it” 出現(xiàn)在 “but” 后面，可見該短語和前面的never had agreed to the “treaty 意思相反，故答案為a，使條約正式化。3. why was john ridge viewed as a traitor by the cherokees?a. because he sold his land to the u.s.government at a low price.b. because he represented the u.s. govermment.c. because he signed an unfair treaty for the cherokees.d. because he carried out a “l(fā)and lottery” in georgia. 答案解析：答案為c。本題為推理題。細(xì)讀第三段，treaty of new echota被簽署，但不是經(jīng)過cherokee 民族批準(zhǔn)的，而是由john ridge領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的一小群cherokee極端分子干的，規(guī)定cherokee民族離開georgia，政府賠償給他們原有土地的百分之五，大多數(shù)cherokee 人并不同意該條約，但是美國政府最終還是批準(zhǔn)了該條約，因此john ridge被認(rèn)為是cherokee的民族叛徒。故答案為c。4. according to the passage, what is the key factor for the “trail of tears”?a. the conflict between the cherokees and the local government.b. the increase of population in the state of georgia.c. the constant struggle for land between the native americans and the settlers.d. the discovery of gold in western gerogia.答案解析：答案為d。本題為推理題。文章的最后提到 “nearly 4,000 indians died walking this trail of tears”， 為什么會發(fā)生此事？本題實際考察現(xiàn)象背后的實質(zhì)：cherokee 印第安人為什么要移民？由文章第二段 “the cherokee indians, of western georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828.” 可知，western georgia 發(fā)現(xiàn)了金子后，白人就覬覦此片土地淘金，發(fā)生了后來的移民事件，留下了cherokee 印第安人的血和淚。故答案為d。閱讀理解 the week i turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. my house,

reality.” 可知，作者一直喜歡繪畫，故b選項正確。由最后一段首句 “the past six years have been filled with adventures.” 可推斷，作者喜歡冒險生活，故選項d正確。 由第三段最后一句話 “the first painting sold for $1,500 before i even had time to frame it.” 可知，作者的第一幅畫在抽空上框之前就賣了$1,500，選項c與文意不符。故答案為c。4. what would be the best title for this passage? a. my broken marriage b. a hard life in hawaii c. adventures over 6 years d. my life after divorce

illusions(錯覺)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 peoples daily lives.with the development of new threedimensional digital technologies，it has been changing peoples 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
