　　As people continue to grow and age, our body systems(系統(tǒng))continue to change．At a certain point in your life your body system will begin to weaken．Your strength may become weaker．It may become more difficult for you to see and hear．The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury．In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives．

　　Many factors(因素)decide your health．A good diet plays an important role．The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor．Your living condition is yet another．But scientists studying aging problem want to know：Why do people grow old?They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer．

　　There is nothing to be afraid of as old age comes．Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living．Physical activity may become less, but often you get better understanding of yourself and the world．

　　What we consider old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon．Who knows, with so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Over the past few years, people seem to have become tired of being told what they can't eat．They also have taken too much advice that doesn't seem effective．They want to hear messages about healthy food．They are understandably worried about some food industry practices and problems．

　　The food industry puts money-making first．Buyers and companies have been less informed on food safety than they should have been．The result is human cost has been high．

　　The food industry defends(保衛(wèi))itself．It says that it tries to provide as good a product as possible at low prices, as cost is a major consideration in buying food．It is the buyers who are to blame．They are waking up to the hidden costs of cheaper food．Chicken burgers, for example, may have only a little chicken in them．

　　The increasing organic(有機(jī)的)food market shows that people are prepared to pay more for fruits and vegetables that haven't been grown purely(純的)for its outside look and money business．

　　There is now a new kind of food called functional food．It contains so-called beneficial(有益的)additives(添加劑), such as fruit drinks with added Vitamin C．It is believed that adding this makes a product healthier．In fact, this unnatural food will become a problem in the future．

　　If a mother-to-be wants to protect her unborn baby from illness, she needs to eat a special breakfast to which certain additives have been added．Yet she can get these things much more cheaply from other healthier foods, like orange juice or green vegetables．We shouldn't be led to believe that we need to eat these“special,”expensive products to be healthy when most of the good things we need are found in cheaper natural foods．

　　I buy as much fresh organic food as possible．I believe that future studies will show that eating organically will make us healthier．I also enjoy them more and feel strongly like supporting the organic farmer's cause．

(1)

　There is a story of a country where the rate of inflation（通貨膨脹率）is so high that clever people pay for a taxi ride before the trip instead of after. This story may or may not be true.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆陜西省寶雞市群力中學(xué)高三第一次診斷性考試英語 題型：閱讀理解

There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg in mother’s body which divides to from two separate babies. Identical twins look the same, and are often dressed by their parents in clothes of the same colors. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other, even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins come into being when the mother produces two separated eggs a the same time, both of which grow to form babies. In this case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.
　　In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted (收養(yǎng)) twins who had been separated at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory, the ways they saw and heard different things, and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins who preferred clothes of the same color, used the same kind of shaving soap, wore the same shaped square glasses and the same colored socks.
　　There is a third type of twins, but it is a very unusual one. Twins which are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese twins.
【小題1】It is difficult to tell identical twins apart because _______.

A．they are dressed in the same clothesB．they are dressed in the same color
C．they are very alikeD．they are standing side by side
【小題2】If the twins are easy to tell from each other, they are ______.
A．very probably non-identical twinsB．surely identical twins
C．surely identical twinsD．a(chǎn)lways a brother and a sister
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A．In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into the two main types of twins.
B．In the week of tests, he tested their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory and some other things.
C．There were twins who had been separated from each other as soon as they were born.
D．Very often, separated twins were found to choose things of the same kind, the same shape and the same color.
【小題4】This passage mainly tells us _______.
A．the main types of twinsB．what has been found out about twins
C．how twins are formedD．how a scientist studied twins
