C Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years an

42、d 237 days. Jeanne Calment lives in a small old peoples home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being “more like a 90-year-old woman in good health” than someone

43、of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: “A very short one.” She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise

44、 and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.

49、ingD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises67. Which of the following could best explain the underlined word “genes” in the third paragraph?A. Habits.B. Some materials that control the development of a living thing.C. Living conditions.D. Wealth.68. Why did Jeanne Calmen

51、h words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same "part", which come from the Latin word, meaning "to carry" or "to move" from one place to

52、another. And according to the bit at the beginning, which we call the prefix(前綴) the meaning changes. "Import" means "to carry in" or "to bring into a country", "export", "ex" means "out of", so this word means "to carry out of the cou

53、ntry", "re" means "back", so the "report" means "to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody", "transport", "trans" means "across" and it means "to carry across one place to another". Let's look at t

54、he following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix（后綴）, thus meaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer i

55、s somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on. 69. In the first sentence the word "part" means _. A. different beginnings and different endingsB. the same part that has several meaningsC. the root of the wordD. the same root that has different meanings70. By adding

56、 a prefix or a suffix to a root, we can get a word which has _. A. the meaning of a Latin wordB. a different meaningC. the meaning of "in" or "out of"D. a lot of meanings71. We can get a noun _A. just by adding "er" to verbs B. by changing a prefixC. only by adding &quo

57、t;er" to a root D. by adding a suffix to a verbEIt is believed that it took about 800 thousand to 1 million years for the earth's population to reach the 250 million total which existed at the end of the first century AD. For some time after that, disease, famine(饑餓) and war kept the popula

58、tion increase down to a rate of 1 percent a year so that more than 15 centuries passed before the population reached 500 million. But in the next 250 years, up to 1850, the population of the world shot to 1 billion(十億) and today it has reached 3.5 billion.
