As a human being you may have the choice of three basic attitudes towards life. You may treat life with the philosophy (哲学) of the vegetable, in which case your life will include being born, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, growing old and dying.
The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is " What do I get out of it? " " How much is this worth to me?" In a word, based on this attitude, happiness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great majority of human beings today look at life as if it were a business.
The third attitude toward life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is "What can I put into it?". They value cooperation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men. The more we investigate(调查),the more we become certain that the artistic attitude is the only one which goes with human happiness.
1. From the passage we know people who take the second life attitude ________.
A. are mostly businessmen
B. think of getting the interests (利益) first
C. find their happiness from hard work
D. take competition as their whole life
2. People who are best remembered by history are probably
A. those living on vegetables B. successful men
C. artists D. businessmen
3. We may infer from this passage that ________.
A. some people are living only on vegetables
B. the artistic attitude is accepted by most people
C. the writer prefers the third life attitude
D. artists do most for the society in order to be remembered longer than others

By analyzing the DNA of the world’s oldest people,Boston University scientists said they have discovered a genetic signature(特征)of longevity.They expect soon to offer a 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 wouldn’t 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 old—the “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 genome—which currently can cost thousands of dollars from genesequencing companies.
36.What’s the best title of the text?
A.New Discovery of Long Life
B.New Functions of DNA on Long Life
C.Scientists Invented Genes For Longevity
D.The Discovery of the Genetic Code of Healthy Aging
37.The scientists started the program to ________.
A.make more money from it
B.do research on long life
C.become known all over the world
D.find out the function of genes
38.People who live longer in developed countries ________.
A.do not work very hard
B.do much exercise every day
C.have a balanced diet
D.never need to take any medicine
39.If you hope to take the test,you ________.
A.must be healthy enough
B.will spend a lot of money
C.will be charged by the website
D.have to take a series of examinations
40.According to the text people living extremely long

38.C [由短文的第四段可知,“发达国家的人平均预期寿命长,这很大程度上应归功于饮食和公共卫生状况的改善。”]

“I got married at 16,”says the smiling Mona Lisa,made famous in Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting.She breaks her silence to wave to the audience and answers their questions.
Thanks to 3D technology,holographic images(全息影像)and voice recognition technologies,Mona Lisa can speak and move.It is the first time the advanced technologies have been fused together in one exhibition,which gives audiences the opportunity to experience the wonders of advanced technology.
Threedimensional,or 3D,technology creates visual illusions(错觉)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 people’s daily lives.With the development of new threedimensional digital technologies,it has been changing people’s 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 world by selecting goods,checking reviews and trying out recommended goods.
Web 3D technology will be used in more fields such as automobiles and travel.In traveling,tourists can enjoy scenic spots,monuments and sites.They also can take to guides and other tourists,who are represented as 3D virtual figures.
In Suzhou,the first online 3D police station in the world has been established.It has eight functions including various online businesses,public services,warning tips and communication between the police and the public.
41.Why can Mona Lisa speak and move?

42.A [依据“advanced technologies have been...together in one exhibition”,可推断出fuse的意思是“结合起来”。]
43.A [依据倒数第三段可知正确答案为A项。]

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (扫瞄) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使苦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!
Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
