A
Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities, according to research from Age UK. 71 percent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language, dancing in the dance floor, or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee jumping and mountain climbing.
The new survey looks at attitudes (态度) towards later life in people aged 18 and above. With the positive (积极的) attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting (38 percent), varied (各种各样的) (42 percent), fun (20 percent) and satisfying (24 percent), it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop.
The old people are doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and enjoying all that it can offer. This is totally different from some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slow paced. Among those are dancers, a 91 year old bodybuilder and a 81 year old singing leading lady. Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK said, “Through our research, we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies. One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age, and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try.”
1．How many people aged 60 and above describe their lifestyle as varied
A．38 percent. B．42 percent.
C．20 percent. D．24 percent.
2．What can be learned in Paragraph 3
A．Many old people lead a positive life.
B．Age UK has organized a Tai Chi group.
C．Old age is not boring, but a little slow paced.
D．Age UK offers products to old people for free.
3．From which is the passage most probably taken
A．A life magazine. B．A travel brochure.
C．A fashion website. D．A health handbook.
B
As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
4．Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard
A．To reduce pressure on keys.
B．To improve accuracy in typing.
C．To replace the password system.
D．To cut the cost of e space protection.
5．What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible
A．Computers are much easier to operate.
B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D．Data security measures are guaranteed.
6．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard
A．It'll be environment friendly.
B．It'll reach consumers soon.
C．It'll be made of plastics.
D．It'll help speed up typing.
7．Where is this text most likely from
A．A diary. B．A guidebook.
C．A novel. D．A magazine.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。调查发现，在英国，很多超过六十岁的老人都过着积极、丰富多彩的生活，他们参加各种各样的活动，发展各种业余爱好。文章对调查内容和结果进行了详细的介绍。
1．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With the positive (积极的) attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting (38 percent), varied (各种各样的) (42 percent)”可知，42%的老人认为自己的生活丰富多彩，故选B。
2．答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The old people are doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and enjoying all that it can offer. This is totally different from some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slow paced”可知，这些老年人在做他们喜欢的事，老年人的生活是非常积极向上的。后面举了一些具体的例子(舞蹈家、91岁的健美运动者、81岁的歌唱女主角)来证明这一点。故A项正确。
3．答案与解析：A　出处判断题。本文介绍了在英国，很多超过六十岁的老人都过着积极、丰富多彩的生活，这是关于老年人的生活方式的。因此文章最有可能出自生活杂志，故选A。

4．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是第二句“At present, these technologies are still expensive, though”可知，现有的生物识别技术价格昂贵。根据第二段的第一句“Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard”可知，同样能够保护私人电子空间的智能键盘成本较低，故选D。
5．答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，智能键盘能够准确地测量人们打字的节奏和力度，而打字模式因人而异。因此，智能键盘通过分析用户的打字模式进行身份识别，故选C。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者在88岁时仍然勇于挑战极限运动——机翼行走。而且她还呼吁更多的老年人不要服老，要勇于挑战自我。
1．答案与解析：B　结合后文“my own record as the world's oldest female wing－walker”可知这里是说作者88岁时“打破(break)”了自己的纪录。break one's record打破某人的纪录。
2．答案与解析：B　根据“He ________ doing half a loop(翻筋斗)—go down a bit，and then straight up.”可知，此处指作者在跟“飞行员(pilot)”说话。
3．答案与解析：D　结合后文“doing half a loop(翻筋斗)—go down a bit, and then straight up”可知作者对飞行员提出冒险性的要求后，飞行员最终以让飞机翻了个筋斗的飞行方式“结束(end up)”。end up doing sth.以做某事结束。
4．答案与解析：A　根据该空后的“it was windy”可知，当时有风，所以飞行过程中飞机稍微有点“摇晃(shaky)”。
5．答案与解析：B　根据下一句“I had gloves，earplugs and lots of layers”可知，作者进行了一系列的防护措施，为了飞行过程中确保一切是“安全的(secure)”。
6．答案与解析：D　根据该空后的内容“from Gloucestershire Airport”可知，飞机在机场“起飞(take off)”。
7．答案与解析：A　分析句子结构可知此处为宾语从句，从句缺主语，且表示具体事物，用what引导宾语从句。
8．答案与解析：C　根据上文的“a bit more adventuresome”可知，作者本来就是来寻求冒险的，所以只是感觉有点奇怪而不是紧张。
9．答案与解析：C　根据下文的“dangerous activity”可知，这是一项危险的活动，所以参加者起初一定会被“提醒，警告(warn)”。
10．答案与解析：B　这项活动在进行之前已经基本保证了行走者的安全性，但也有潜在(potentially)危险性。
11．答案与解析：D　结合后文“You've got to go sometime and you might as well go in a flame of glory.”可推知在作者看来，她已经88岁了，即使出意外，那又有什么“关系”呢？
12．答案与解析：C　结合后文“in their ways”可知作者认为在步入老年阶段后，很多人都会“受困于”自己的生活方式。be stuck in“困于，被缠住”。
13．答案与解析：C　作者认为周围的朋友们受困于各自的生活方式而不会“加入(join)”到作者的冒险活动中来。以及下文“I imagine most of them think I'm ________ as a woman.”可知，大多数人会认为作者是个疯女人，所以也不会加入。
14．答案与解析：A　结合上文可知，作者认为那些安于现状的人不仅不会加入，还会认为作者是“疯(crazy)”女人。
15．答案与解析：C　根据第二段中的“a bit more adventuresome”可知，作者认为自己这个年龄段的人应该去做更多“冒险的(adventurous)”事情。故选C。
八、语法填空
1．答案与解析：took　考查一般过去时。设空处与saved up 并列作谓语，应用一般过去时，故填took。
2．答案与解析：the　考查定冠词。at the end of 意为“在……末”。
3．答案与解析：It　考查it的用法。设空处作形式主语，真正的主语是to get used to the time difference，故填It。
4．答案与解析：truly　考查副词。设空处作状语修饰beautiful，表示“真正；确实”，故填truly。
5．答案与解析：sleeping　考查动词 ing形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语修饰 koalas，因为koalas与sleep之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且sleep 表示的动作当时正在发生，故填sleeping。
6．答案与解析：to hold　考查动词不定式作定语的用法。have/get the chance to do sth.意为“有机会做某事”。
7．答案与解析：facts　考查名词。设空处作宾语，表示“事实”，因为fact是可数名词，且其前有lots of，故填facts。
8．答案与解析：were allowed　考查一般过去时的被动语态。设空处所在句意为“在保护区里，还有袋鼠。我们可以(were allowed)给袋鼠喂食”，故应用被动语态，因为此处描述作者去澳大利亚的旅游经历，应用一般过去时，故填were allowed。
9．答案与解析：interesting　考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰sea animals，表示“有趣的”，故填形容词interesting。
10．答案与解析：to　考查介词。设空处所在句意为“我喜欢游览这儿的每个地方，从国家公园美丽的山和瀑布到白色的长沙滩”，故填介词to。from... to...意为“从……到……”。
九.应用文写作
答案：
In order to get close to nature and relax ourselves, last weekend our family took a trip to Ping'an Village, which is home to oranges. When we arrived at the village, the golden oranges all over the hills came into view, adding beauty to the village.
Seeing the farmers busying themselves harvesting oranges, I, together with my 15 year old brother, joined them to help them. Inexperienced as we were in picking oranges, we learned the skills quickly under the guidance of the farmers. In return for our help, the farmers offered to give us some oranges, but we refused.
As far as I am concerned, as a traveler, experiencing something new and helping others are the most meaningful things in a trip.
