10、ill not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth,but they may have found a way to turn backthe aging process.It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes,in an area called thehypothalamus(下丘脑).The hypothalamus is part of your brain.It controls important act
11、ivities within the body.Researchers at New Yorks Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural(神经的)stemcells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)?They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells,like blood or skincells.Stem
12、cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.He was the lead researcher in a studyon aging in mice.He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature,Cai explained when hypothalamusfunction is in decline,particula
13、rly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells,and this protection against the agingdevelopment is lost.it eventually leads to aging.Using this information,the researchers began trying to activate,or energize,the hypothalamus laboratorymice.They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells,Later,the r
14、esearchers examined tissues and tested forchanges in behavior.They looked for changes in the strength and coordination(协调)of the animals muscles.Theyalso studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice.The researchers say the results show that thetreatment slowed aging in the animals,C
15、ai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger micehelped the older animals live longer.But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory.If the mice can live longer,does that meanpeople could have longer lives?The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work
16、 in.4.In Paragraph 2 a“fountain of youth”is mentioned to _.A.introduce the main topicB.show a hidden secret.C.describe scientists researchD.recommend a way to stay young5.Aging takes place in the body when _.A.stem cells develop into specialized cellsB.there are important activities within the bodyC
17、.hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against agingD.the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs6.What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text?A.They did experiments to see how stem cells work.B.They studied mice to find their c
18、onnection with humans.C.They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.D.They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment7.What will the researchers probably do next?A.They will help some animals live longer.B.They will announce the fountain of youth doesnt existC.They
19、will develop products to help people live a longer life immediatelyD.They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.CIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar,wind and hydropower are allmuch better for the climate than fossil fuels.
20、It is true for wind and solar.However,the picture for hydropower ismore complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilitiesacross the globe.That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide.The researchers
21、looked atwhether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source.To figure this out,they looked into all thedifferent components that help determine a hydropower facilitys greenhouse gasemissions(排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower but essent
22、ially,themajority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir(水库)itself,as vegetation and soils are submergedunderwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.”said lissa Ocko,a senior climate scientist atthe Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study.As the submerg
23、ed vegetation breaks down,itreleases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir,the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from thatreservoir.Also,the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhousegases are produced
24、 and given out from the reservoir.”added Ocko.Through their analysis,Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg,also with the Environmental Defense Fund,discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range.The good news is that some facilitiesperform just as well as wind and solar.But
25、 shockingly,more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climatethan fossil fuels.The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesnt mean we should forget about hydropower.“But we just need to be careful to make surethat we have climate benefits.There are a lot
26、 of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar.So itreally depends on the specific facility.said Ocko.8.How do scientists prove hydropower facilities effect on the climate?A.By making comparisons.B.By conducting experiments.C.By referring to previous studies.D.By analyzing causes and
27、 effects.9.What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A.Vegetation and soils.B.Heat and sunlight.C.Pollutants in the reservoir.D.Components of the generators.10.What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B.Hydropower
28、 often influences the climate in all aspects.C.Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D.Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.11.What is the text mainly about?A.Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B.Hydropower is not necessarily green.C.Hydropower is worse
29、 than fossil fuels.D.Renewable energy is a complicated issue.DImagine that youare a superhero.Your superpowers are activated by a special suit.The suit communicateswith your brain.It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought.By concentrating on strength,for example,you can kick a soccer ba
30、ll across a field.By focusing on swift actions,you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy.To scientists,though,it is a very realgoal.They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk.These machines may soon help disabled humansdo the
31、 same.Unlike other bionic devices,these robotic“super suits”do not communicate with muscles andnerves.Instead,they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005,doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson,who had lost her right arm in an accident.Then theyinserted a sensor onto her motor cortex(大脑皮层
32、运动区).Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.After she recovered,researchers pluggedHutchinsons receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain tocomputers.Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers.The computerscould interpretHutchinsons brainsignals to move the arm.S
33、oon,Hutchinson,the computer,and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift herhand and drink from a cup.“She smiled when she put down that drinkthats everything.”says Donoghue,a brainscientist.Today other scientists are building on that success.One of those scientists is Dr.Miguel
34、 Nicolelis,whodesigned a whole-body bionic equipment.In 2014,a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World CupGames wearing one of Miguels full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the mans cap.By thinking about kicking,he sentsignals to a compute
35、r on his back.The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick.Suchdesigns may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.12.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A.Narrative and serious.B.Persuasive and critical.C.Informative and objective.D.Descriptiv
36、e and imaginative.13.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Reason of the experiment.B.Results of the experiment.C.Process of the experiment.D.Significance of the experiment.14.Why is Dr.Miguels exoskeleton special?A.It can be used on animals.B.It can move the whole body.C.It was supported by computers.
37、D.It was connected directly to the brain.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B.Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinsons bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D.Disabled athletes can now

39、irtual cocktail hours,increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many._16_But there is good news!Despite all that sedentary time,with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day,you can increase your life span,arecent study has found._17_Its true;past studies,including a popular study from 201
40、6,had originally putthe daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits.However,that study was based onself-reported data,which this latest study,published in theBritish Journal of Sports Medicine,found to be flaweddue to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a m
41、ore objective approach,scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their researchon the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time.The results showed that participants whoexercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span.Yet just 1
42、1 minutes of moderateexercise equivalent to a brisk walk still had a noticeable positive impact._18_Here is a way to consider4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence.Depending on the exercisesyou use,you may go at a slightly different pace during each round,making it about 11 minutes.When
43、selectingyour exercises,try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of moderateeffort._19_Ideally,do a combo,determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on yourfitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.See how easy it i
