If all continues to go as well as it has to date, next July 1 she will join the rapidly growing groupof centenarians (a person who is 100 years old or older), whose numbers in the United States haveincreased to 96,548 in 2009 from 38,300 in 1990, according to the Census Bureau.& &At age 92, Mrs. Tuttle (best known as Faity, her childhood nickname) wrote a memoir (回忆录)with the title &No Rocking Chair for Me& displaying an acute memory of events, names, dates andplaces that she retains as she approaches 100.& &At 30 years her junior, I couldn't begin to recall the kinds of details that remain flesh in her stillvery active mind. I can only hope, should I live that long, to be as vibrant and physically fit as she is.& &What, I asked, is the secret to her long life? Is it genetics? Perhaps, but it's hard to say. Herparents died at ages 42 and 50, leaving her an orphan at age 11, along with a brother and two sisters,one of whom did live to 96.& &Genes do play a role in longevity. Dr. Nir Barzilai, a geneticist at the Albert Einstein Collegeof Medicine in New York, reports that centenarians are 20 times as likely as the average person tohave a long-lived relative. But a Swedish study of identical twins separated at birth and reared apartconcluded that only about 20 to 30 percent of longevity is genetically determined. Lifestyle seems tobe the more dominant factor.& &As Mrs. Tuttle said in loud and clear tones that didn't show her advanced age: &You've got towork, be cheerful and look for something fun to do. It's a whole attitude.& &&If you respect what the doctors tell you to do, you can live a long life, but you have to do it.&& &Her memoir and replies to my questions revealed three critical attributes that might be dubbedlongevity's version of the three R's: resolution, resourcefulness and resilience. Throughout her longlife, she's taken hardships in stride and converted many into building blocks. And she has stuckfirmly to a set of rules of a careful diet, hard work, regular exercise and a very long list of communityservice, all while raising three children.& &Like many if not most other centenarians, according to the findings of the New EnglandCentenarian Study at Boston University, Mrs. Tuttle is an extrovert who has many friends, a healthydose of self-respect and strong ties to family and community. She continues to enjoy her youthfulpassions for the theater and opera.& &A study of centenarians in Sardinia found that they tend to be physically active, have extensivesocial networks and maintain strong ties with family and friends. They are also less likely to bedepressed than the average 60-year-old.& &Do optimists live longer than pessimists? Yes, studies indicate. Dr. Hilary A. Tindle of theUniversity of Pittsburgh Medical Center, found that among 97,000 women followed for eight years,those believed to be optimistic were significantly less likely to die from heart disease and all causesthan were pessimistic women.& &The optimists were also less likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes(糖尿病) or highcholesterol, suggesting they take better care of their health. Indeed, the pessimists were more likely tobe overweight, smoke cigarettes and avoid exercise, indicating, Dr. Tindle says, that negative thinkersmake poorer lifestyle choices than positive thinkers.A Walking Example& &Faity Tuttle could serve as a model for that study's findings. Each morning, she does an hourof yoga (瑜伽) and other floor exercises, then dresses and goes out on the street or to the top of herManhattan apartment building for a half-hour walk before breakfast. Her usual breakfast: orangejuice, cereal, a banana and black coffee. Then she works at her desk, mostly corresponding with her11 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, now 3. &So many birthdays --one or two a month,& she said.& &Lunch may be soup or meat, a slice of toast, with tea and fruit for dessert. The afternoon includesan hour's nap and another walk, often combined with grocery shopping.& &Dinner is home-cooked, of perhaps lamb, pork chops or roast chicken. Mrs. Tuttle, whosehusband, Ben, died in 1988, lives with a dear friend, Allene Hatch, 84, an artist and authoraffectionately known as Squeaky, with whom she shares work in the kitchen.& &Stay-at-home evenings are spent reading or watching &a good movie& on television, she said.& &Mrs. Tuttle recently gave up a lifelong passion for horseback riding, but she still drives, thoughnot on public roads, only on a 300-acre farm in northern New York that the Tuttles had the wisdomto acquire when land was cheap. Her children built homes on the property and now live there inretirement, providing Mrs. Tuttle with nearby loving company all summer and during the spring andfall weekends she spends at the farm.The Benefits of Coping& &As good as her health is (no high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes), it is not perfect.She describes herself as &an artificial woman from the waist up&, with an artificial breast to replace thecancerous one removed 20 years ago, a heart pacemaker installed about a decade ago, a hearing aidand contact lenses.& &Although she has rejected dairy foods for most of her life and follows a diet low in sugar and richin meats and fats, she was only recently found to have weak bones.& &Nor has she always enjoyed a rich lifestyle. Though born into an accomplished, well-to-dofamily, her parents' early death (the children were taken in by an aunt with limited means) and herdecision to pursue an acting career led to a hardscrabble (拮据的) existence that persisted through theearly years of her marriage and life on a farm with three small children and no electricity. Accordingto one study, survivors of traumatic (创伤的) life events learn to cope better with stress and povertyand are more likely to live to 100.& &Instead of trauma, there are many measures one can take to facilitate a long and productive life.Why live to 100 if those last years will be spoiled by physical and emotional misery?2. &What is said about people who are 100 years old or older in the United States? [A] They are still capable of working.[B] Their population increases rapidly.[C] They pose as a burden to the family.[D] They like taking adventures.A & &B & &C & &D & &3. &What do we know about Esther Tuttle at age 92?

[A] Parents play a key role in a Child's longevity.[B] People with religious belief usually live longer.[C] The way of life contributes most to longevity.[D] The length of life is strongly linked with genes.A & &B & &C & &D & &5. &The New England Centenarian Study at Boston University finds that______.

You are required to select one wordfor each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.& &Although the enjoyment of color is universal and color theory has all kinds of names to it, colorremains a very emotional and subjective element. Our awareness of color is &(47) & conditioned byour culture, but color also probably &(48) & our instincts. Our psyche (心智) reacts in different ways tocolors in part through subjective associations and in part through &(49) & conditioning, and the two areoften hard to separate. Black and white, for example, &(50) & us intuitively (直觉地) of night and day, their link with evil and good is likely the result of culture.& &There exists a universal &(51) & to feel that some colors are warm whereas other colors are cool.Colors that are near red on the color wheel (色轮) are &(52) & warm colors―which seem more &(53) & ; andcolors near blue are regarded as cool colors, which seem more relaxing. Scientists have demonstratedthat exposure to red light increases the heartbeat and that &(54) & to blue light slows it down. For artiststhe appointment of warm and cool depends on the &(55) & relationship between any two colors. A violetmight be cooler than an orange, because it has blue in it, and the same violet might be warmer thangreen, because it has red in it. The warm-cool &(56) & helps to create exciting color contrasts becausewarm colors seem warmer next to cool colors and cool colors seem cooler next to warm colors.

Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the centre.Questions&11 to 15 are based on the following passage.& &All day long, you are affected by large forces. Genes influence your intelligence andwillingness to take risks. Social dynamics unconsciously shape your choices. Instantaneous (瞬间的) perceptions set off neutral reactions in your head without you even being aware of them.& &Over the past few years, scientists have made a series of exciting discoveries about how thesedeep patterns influence daily life. Nobody has done more to bring these discoveries to publicattention than Malcolm Gladwell.& &Gladwell's new book Outliers seems at first glance to be a description of exceptionally talentedindividuals. But in fact, it's another book about deep patterns. Exceptionally successful people arenot lone pioneers who created their own success, he argues. They are the lucky beneficiaries ofsocial arrangements.& &Gladwell's noncontroversial claim is that some people have more opportunities than others.Bill Gates was lucky to go to a great private school with its own computer at the dawn of theinformation revolution.& &Gladwell's book is being received by reviewers as a call to action for the Obama Age. Itcould lead policy makers to finally reject policies built on the assumption that people are coldlyrational profit-maximizing individuals. It could cause them to focus more on policies that fosterrelationships, social bonds and cultures of achievement.& &Yet, I can't help but feel that Gladwell and others who share his emphasis are preoccupiedwith the coolness of the discoveries. They've lost sight of the point at which the influence of socialforces ends and the influence of the self-initiating individual begins.& &Most successful people begin with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, andI have the power to make it so. They were often showered by good fortunes, but relied at crucialmoments upon achievements of individual will. These people also have an extraordinary ability toconsciously focus their attention. Control of attention is the ultimate individual power. People whocan do that are not prisoners of the stimuli around them. They can choose from the patterns in theworld and lengthen their time horizons.& &Gladwell's social determinism overlooks the importance of individual character and individualcreativity. And it doesn't fully explain the genuine greatness of humanity's talents. As the classicalphilosophers understood, examples of individual greamess inspire achievement more reliably thanany other form of education.According to the author, Gladwell's new book Outliers is mainly______. [A] to explain why Bill Gates is much luckier than others[B] a descriptive study of exceptionally talented individuals[C] about the importance of social arrangements to personal success[D] to discuss why some people have more opportunities than others24. &What do we learn about Gladwell's book from the fifth paragraph? [A] It has received severe criticisms.[B] It has become quite influential in the US.[C] It is beginning to influence Obama's policies.[D] It assumes that people just pursue maximum profits.A & &B & &C & &D & &25. &What is the most fundamental individual power according to the passage? [A] A strong belief in success.[B] Remarkable ability to focus attention.[C] A very charming personality.[D] Extraordinary ability to create.A & &B & &C & &D & &26. &What do we learn from the last paragraph? [A] One's success is more closely related to individual character and creativity.[B] Individual greatness is mainly determined by genes and good education.[C] Good luck is indispensable if people want to achieve extraordinarily successful.[D] The influence of social forces has been underestimated before Malcolm Gladwell.A & &B & &C & &D & &27. &This passage is probably a______. [A] book report[B] political essay[C] news report[D] book reviewA & &B & &C & &D & &28. Questions&16 to&20 are based on the following passage.& &About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as theydo today. Gone are those days when patriotism (爱国主义) towards one's own language was a majorobstacle to learning foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien (外国的)rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.& &Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that theirnative languages alone will meet the need to survive. Language skills today have become as important asother business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign languagetoday has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to makean impression.& &All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kindsof institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.Today's world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world has becomea smaller place. Today's businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries.Tens and hundreds of businesses worldwide are expanding and growing their businesses by promotingthem in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Intemet has furtherincreased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercialestablishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of theCOuntry.& &Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nation if youknow the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countriesimmediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culturelanguage is the key identity.Why didn't people study a foreign language in the past? [A] It was strictly forbidden.[B] It was seen as disloyalty.[C] It was too difficult.[D] It was taught by foreign rulers.A & &B & &C & &D & &29. &What does the author say about people's native and foreign languages?

[A] the widespread Internet technology[B] a globalized economy[C] the learning of foreign languages[D] the expansion of businessesA & &B & &C & &D & &31. &The growth of the Internet requires______.
