The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average (平均) life span(跨度) was 45. In 1950，70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old person is still thought young.So, how old is old? The answer is one you've heard many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old(or young) as you feel.” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you've lived.“Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they don't have their ideals (理想).” People should not have the wrong ideals about aging. Sometimes, old minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me happy who people say. You look young for your age.” What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 (可能30岁老死) and live young at 80.( )26. About 100 years ago, the ave rage life span was _______.A.35B.80C.70D.45( )27.

Which question is NOT answered in the passage?A. Can old people be as bright as young people?B. How old is “old” ?C. What tells you how well you've lived?D. What is the average life span today?( )30 .The passage is mainly about _______.A．the average life span B. agingC. the 20th centuryD. older people and young peopleBWhen you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own la nguage. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listene rs can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the senten ce doesn’t change. Let’s se e the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.( )31. From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouln’t put every word into our own languageB. we shouldn’t look up every word in the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own languageD. we must read word by word( )32. The writer thinks it is in learning English.A. difficult to understand different soundsB. possible to remember the word orderC. important to master the rules in different waysD. easy to master the rules for word order( )33. We can learn from the passage that .A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of thewordsB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaningD. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must bedifferent( )34. “She only likes apples,” ____________A. is the same as “Only she likes apple”.B. is different from “Only she likes apple”.C. means “She likes fruit except apples”.D. means “She doesn’t like apples”.( )35. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Different Orders, Different MeaningsB. How to speak English?C. How to Put English into Our Own Language?D. How to Learn English?CI suppose when you grow up in one place, you have friends whom you’ve known since childhood. But as a child who moved a lot, my oldest friendships are with my cousins.On our return from Guam, my parents, sisters and I walked off the plane in Alexandria. All my cousins were there to meet us.I was excited to see them again. The last time I’d seen Don, Sherri and David was two years before. That summer we’d caught fireflies(萤火虫) and watched Don and his friends play a game. Some boys acted like a bull(公牛) with a rope(绳子). His friend held the rope and Don rode on it. When Don fell off, he got up and tried again. Just like riding that bull, Don put his heart into everything he did. As a young man he was told he got cancer(癌症). But he fought it and never gave up. Like what he did that summer, he held tight(紧紧地), falling off a few times and trying again. I was excited and proud of my cousin for planning and going after his dream. I wished his ride would have lasted longer.( ) 36. The writer and his family returned to Alexandria .A. by boatB. by shipC. by airD. by train( ) 37.

I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English diaries.
