Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.

A. However, women, on average, live longer B .The biological factor plays an important part C. Women are also helped by their female genes D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions

Answer 1

【答案】A；G；D；C；E
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了女性比男性壽命長的原因。
（1）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. ”一般來說，女性比男性多活6或7年，可知.A.“However, women, on average, live longer”然而，女性平均比男性壽命更長，符合語境，故選A。
（2）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“ One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.”可知男性和女性之間荷爾蒙的不同使女性壽命更長，可知此空的意思是：荷爾蒙是身體產(chǎn)生的控制各種身體功能的化學(xué)物質(zhì)，故G.“Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions”合語境，選G。
（3）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.”可知此空意思是：女性荷爾蒙也是另一種保護(hù)身體的方式，故D."The female hormones also protect the body in another way“合語境，選D。
（4）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后” Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. “科學(xué)家們?nèi)匀粵]有確切的表明基因怎樣影響年齡，但是他們認(rèn)為基因確實(shí)在影響年齡，可知C.”Women are also helped by their female genes“合語境。
（5）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前”Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.“一些人認(rèn)為女性的細(xì)胞有比男性細(xì)胞老化慢的傾向，另一些人認(rèn)為男性細(xì)胞有老化快的傾向，可知E"Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities"合語境。
