Those who stand still, di
27、e, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. You have to work, work, work in order to
28、 forget that death is not far away, he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others.Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not
29、 every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very
30、 wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking未来派的buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. The role of the architect is to s
31、truggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation
32、he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He also plans to keep perf
33、orming. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force
34、that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through imperfection. In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. Shes convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is
35、 no barrier to some high achievers. 56. From the first two paragraphs, we can see _. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybodyB. Oliveira owes his long life to his mothers help C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
36、57. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 758. By saying Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?, Heesters shows us he _. A. wants to sit or lie in comfort B. is waiting for people to pick him up C. is willing to work till he dies D. prefer
37、s to give performance at homeBCan people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100
38、per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra fish skin color is determine
39、d by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented
40、skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern hum
41、ans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affe
42、cts skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.59. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people can not change their skin
43、color without any pain B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene60. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A.
44、 nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes61. Scientists have done a
45、n experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _. A. find the different genes of humans B. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing peoples skin color62. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _. A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosom
