　　(创新题)So many people are expected to become nonagenarians (90多岁的人) in the coming decades that some experts suggest changing the definition of “oldest－old” age from 85 to 90 years old，according to a recent government survey.

　　The report was released by the National Institute on Aging and the United States Census Bureau projects that，by 2050，almost 9 million people will be at least 90 years old.There are an estimated 2 million people aged 90 and older currently living in America.

　　Longer life expectancy may seem like something to celebrate.But，the real question is，what will the quality of life be for these 9 million people and the countless caregivers they will have to rely on？84.7 percent of people 90－plus indicate that they have a disability of some sort.Almost 70 percent have trouble going around，or find walking and climbing stairs to be extremely arduous.The trouble is 40 percent of the respondents have some kind of cognitive (认知的) difficulty.

　　The financial expectation for upcoming seniors does not look particularly rosy either.People in the 90－plus rely heavily on Social Security and Medicare to help them pay their bills.According to the survey，half of the nonagenarians’ income comes from Social Security and 98.8 percent receive benefits from Medicare.

　　While these government aid programs are available to the elderly today，there is some doubt about their future solvency (偿付能力)．Recent reports estimate that the Social Security Retirement Trust Fund will go broke as early as 2034，a full 16 years before the 90－plus population reaches its peak.Medicare is not expected to do much better.This could mean that the financial burdens of caring for upcoming seniors will fall more heavily on the shoulders of their caregivers.

　　So while medical advances continue to increase life expectancy，the question remains: who will care for our aging population，and how will they fare financially?

　　1．The present definition of “oldest－old” refers to those who are ________.

　　A．60 years old or above

　　B．85 years old or above

　　C．between 85 and 90 years old

　　D．90 years old or above

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The government has changed the definition of “oldest－old” age.

　　B．All the people in American will live as long as 90 years old or above.

　　C．About 2 million people aged 90 and older live in America at present.

　　D．It is really worthwhile to celebrate the longer life expectancy in America.

　　3．The underlined word “arduous” in the third paragraph has the same meaning with “________”．

　　A．difficult

　　B．boring

　　C．comfortable

　　D．interesting

　　4．According to recent reports，in which year will the American 90－plus population reaches it peak?

　　A．2018.

　　B．2034.

　　C．2050.

　　D．2066.

　　5．What is the writer’s attitude towards the longer life expectancy in the future?

　　A．Neutral.

　　B．Indifferent.

　　C．Optimistic.

　　D．Pessimistic.

　　B

　　(2015·广东佛山普高高三教学质量检测)My son Advait taught me a beautiful lesson today.He called out to me saying，“Papa，sit.”That usually means leaving everything and sitting down to play with him，as he will not stop calling out till I give in.He was playing with beads(珠子)，an exercise to help build fine motor skills.

　　Anyway，so after he finished playing with the beads he began to put them in their box.He did that very slowly and carefully as if they were made of chocolate.And with over a hundred beads to go，I was getting tired.“Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in？” said my anxious mind.Damn! My morning was going to go_for_a_toss today.

　　And then it hit me like a brick.This boy was enjoying the whole process.For him the fun was in the game，in the preparation for the game and in the process of properly collecting and cleaning up.It was not just about his turn or the fun part.Every bit was as fun as the other.“What a great view to have”，I thought to myself.To live each moment as it is the perfect moment.To do each task as if it were the most awesome task to do.Nothing else matters.

　　I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket(板球)．If I was not playing，I was unhappy as I desperately waited for my turn to do so.Only the process of doing something I associated with happiness made me cheerful.The rest of the time I was waiting for my turn in the future or thinking of a great hit from the past.This is also how I have so often lived my life，waiting for something in the future or looking back on what it was like in the past.

　　Now，Advait was showing me that life was about thoroughly enjoying every moment with complete love and peace. I realized that the truest and happiest moments of my life have been the ones where I fully participated without thoughts of the past or the future.

　　(2015·衡阳八中高三月考)The United Nations estimates that world food production will have to increase by 70% by 2050.A world population growing in number and wealth will require one billion tons more grain each year，and two hundred million tons more meat.

　　The Food and Agriculture Organization says those gains will have to happen largely on existing land.However，according to a new report which provides the first global assessment of the state of the planet’s land resources，large parts of all continents are experiencing damage.One－fourth of all land is described as “highly degraded(退化)”．The greatest threats are losses of soil quality，biodiversity and water resources.Therefore，production rates have been slowing in many areas.Though new agricultural methods and technology are used to increase food production in many countries，yet they have also harmed the land and water.Thus，it calls for greater use of ways that can expand production while avoiding damage to ecosystems.

　　One such practice might be the use of “fertilizer trees”. These are fast－growing trees and shrubs(矮树丛) whose leaves and roots help make soil richer.

　　Oluyede Ajayi，the leader author of the study，said “Basically these are trees that can fix nitrogen(氮) from the atmosphere and change them into nitrates(硝酸盐) for fertilizer，for organic fertilizer，for the soil.”

　　The farmers who planted fertilizer trees reported double the corn production of other farmers.In Zambia，the fertilized fields provided up to 114 additional days of food.Farmers say they need less rainwater if they use fertilizer trees.The trees reduce water runoff and soil erosion.

　　A recent study found that about 400,000 farmers in southern Africa are using them.The farmers themselves designed and managed part of the testing in the field，and spread the word of their successes.

　　Fertilizer trees can be used to increase food production

　　Problems ●World population growth 1.__________ the increase of world food production

　　●Large parts of global land 2.____________ by losses of soil quality and water resources，slowing production rates

　　●New agricultural technology is 3.____________ to land and water

　　4.______

　　______ Growing fertilizer trees to expand food production without 5.____________.

　　6.____________ of fertilizer trees ●Having leaves and roots 7.____________ soil

　　●8.____________ into nitrates for the soil

　　●9.____________ and loss of soil

　　Good result Farmers using fertilizer trees can produce 10.____________ as much corn as other farmers.

　　(2015·郴州质检)Marti Sementelli has been a baseball player since preschool, throwing plastic balls and swinging a tiny wood bat from the time she was 3 years old. She was a solid player at every youth level, and sometimes a star. In 2007, Nike even featured the young Californian in a TV commercial.

　　Despite her experience, Sementelli, now 16, had a hard time finding a high school that would allow her to try out for the boys’ baseball team.

　　Two parochial schools (教会学校) near her family’s home in North Hollywood said no, and several public schools were lukewarm (冷淡的) to the idea. Finally, she found Burbank High School, where she’s now a sophomore and a member of the JV baseball team.

　　Sementelli’s story is not unique. Across the country, girls devoted to baseball—and with as many seasons of youth ball under their belts as their male teammates—are finding it isn’t easy to stay in the sport when they reach high school.

　　Biology does play a role in the situation: Boys, especially older ones, often have an edge over girls in size and strength, allowing them to throw harder and swing with greater force. But girls say that the toughest battles are not about capabilities, but against the traditional attitude that baseball is for boys.

　　“Most people just are incapable of seeing beyond what’s easy，” says Jennifer Ring, the author of Stolen Bases: Why American Girls Don’t Play Baseball, and a professor at the University of Nevada－Reno. “It is much neater if we say boys play baseball and girls play other sports.”

　　In at least one state, Massachusetts, girls are barred from trying out for boys’ baseball in high schools that also offer softball. Nebraska dropped its ban last year, and in January, Indiana removed its ban after being sued (控告) by the parents of Logan Young, a 15－year－old aspiring catcher and freshman at Bloomington South High School.

　　1．When did Sementelli begin to play baseball？(No more than 6 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　2．Where did Sementelli stay in a baseball team？(No more than 6 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　3．What does the author think about girls’ capabilities in baseball？(No more than 10 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　4．In which states are girls allowed to play baseball？(No more than 4 words)

　　A

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。作者引用报告并分析了美国高龄人口的未来以及所面临的问题。

　　1．解析：选B。细节理解题。由文章第一段中的信息可知，目前高龄人口指的是85岁或85岁以上的老人。所以选B。

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。看孩子玩珠子的过程启迪了“我”，使“我”明白，在生活中，不论做什么事，都要完全参与其中，享受每一刻的快乐。

　　6．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“That usually means leaving everything and sitting down to play with him，as he will not stop calling out till I give in.”可知，如果“我”不答应，儿子会一直叫“我”，直到“我”让步为止。由此可推知，“我”不是很愿意和儿子一起玩。故C项正确。

　　7．解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据“Damn！”以及上文语境可知，“我”的儿子一颗颗把珠子慢慢地放回盒子里，并且让“我”陪他玩，所以“我”的整个早晨什么都做不了，就这样被破坏了。故画线短语意为“毁坏，破坏”。故A项正确。B项意为“被忘记”；C项意为“快乐起来”；D项意为“放松下来”，都与语境不符。

　　8．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“If I was not playing，I was unhappy as I desperately waited for my turn to do so.”可知，“我”在等着轮到“我”玩时，“我”是不快乐的，由此可以判断，“我”在小时候玩乐时，并非享受每一刻。故B项正确。

　　9．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Now，Advait was showing me that life was about thoroughly enjoying every moment with complete love and peace.”可知，儿子让“我”意识到了享受每时每刻的快乐和幸福的重要性，故可推知，作者接下来将快乐地看着儿子完成他的游戏。故C项正确。

　　10．解析：选D。标题概括题。根据文章主题句最后一段最后一句“I realized that the truest and happiest moments of my life have been the ones where I fully participated without thoughts of the past or the future.”以及全文内容可知，本文通过作者陪儿子一起玩游戏的事，表达了“完全参与其中，享受每刻快乐”的主题。故D项正确。
