33、her childrenDthe author likes traveling very muchBThe Italian island of Sardinia recently lost its oldest citizen. Family members say Antonio Todde died in his sleep early this month. Mr. Todde was 112 years old. It was less than three weeks away from his 113th birthday. Record-keeping experts say h

34、e was the worlds oldest man.His long life and that of other very old Sardinians are the subjects of a scientific project called Akea. Luca Deiana of Sassari University is directing the study. He says the name Akea comes from a traditional greeting on Sardinia. It means“health and life for 100 years”

35、. Professor Deiana and his team started to collect information for the study in 1997. They identified（确定）more than 220 Sardinians who were centenarians100years old or older. His team required three documents to confirm a persons age. They were a government birth record, a church record and a stateme

The island had about 135 centenarians for every one million people. In other Western countries, the average is about seventy five centenarians for every one milli

37、on people. The second major finding is an unusual rate of female to male centenarians. Sardinia has two women centenarians for every male centenarian. In central Sardinia there are equal numbers of female and male centenarians.Studies in other parts of the world have shown a much higher percentage o

38、f female centenarians. The Akea study collected information about the health and diet of about 140 of the centenarians. About ninety percent of those in the study agreed to provide blood for scientific testing. The study team hope to identify genetic material in the blood that can be linked to succe

39、ssful aging. Study leaders say there is no single reason why people on Sardinia live so long. They believe the answer is a combination of genetic and environmental conditions. 61Centenarians refer to people who are years old.A100B200C300D40062The general idea of the third paragraph is .ASardinia has

62、45分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。Scientists guess that 80% of a persons weight gain comes from genetics and 20% comes from the persons environment. By 1998, more than 130 genes（基因）and gene neighbors were found to have some link to weight gain or weight loss in people. T

63、hese different genes can either work all together or work in groups. This means that different people may or lose weight with difficulty for different reasons.One example of these different kinds of combinations（组合）is a family of genes that allows people to change extra fat into heat instead of stor

64、ing the fat in the body. Animals which have this same family of genes do not gain weight easily as other animals. Other genes may affect how quickly the stomach lets the brain know that it is full. If these genes slow down the passage of this information, people may eat more than they really need. G

65、enes are also thought to be linked with how much a person fidgets（烦燥不安的小动作）in a day. Fidgeting is small movements of a persons hands, feet, arms, or legs usually when the person is nervous or excited. Fidgeting actually uses a lot of energy over a day and his energy usually comes from burning fat.In

66、 one experiment about weight gain, researchers wanted to see how much energy different people used when they were resting. People in the experiment were asked to lie on a bed and not move for 40 minutes. Researchers then measured the energy the person used for breathing. They found that different pe

67、ople in the study used very different amounts of energy for this one job, breathing. Researchers calculated that some people in the study burned 1,067 calories per day while others burned up to 3,015 calories. Those people who burn fewer calories doing normal work or exercise have a slow metabolism（
