12、 he had been cut from his high school team as a freshman;I learned he knew what it felt like to be embarrassed,to feel like a failure.But he used those emotions to fuel him,make him stronger,he didnt quit.So I decided to take on my challenge the same way he did.I would channel my failure as fuel to

13、keep my competitive fire burning.I became obsessed with proving to my family and more importantly to myself that I CAN DO THIS.It became an obsession.I learned everything about the game,the history,the players,the fundamentals.I wasnt just determined to never have a summer of zero again,I was driven

18、o their speakers.A study just published by Asifa Majid at Radboud University supports this.Dr.Majid knew from her previous work that the Jahai,a group of hunter-gatherers in Malaysia，are remarkably good at naming odors(气味).When she asked some Jahai and American volunteers to name colors and odors th

19、ey were presented with,the Americans generally agreed with one another when it came to naming colors but agreed much less when putting names to odors.When presented with baby powder they offered wax,baby oil,toilet paper and rose as descriptions.Jahais answers,however,were in equal agreement about b

20、oth odors and colors.Dr.Majid suggested that it might be because the Jahai have a dozen words to describe different sorts of smells in the abstract.For example,the Jahai use the word“cxas”for the sorts of smells associated with petrol,smoke and various insects,and“plxex”for bloody,fishy and meaty so

21、rts of smells.Dr.Majid also looked at how two other groups of people from the Malay Peninsula used terms for colors and odors.These were the Semaq Beri,who also hunt and gather for a living,and the Semelai,who grow riceTheir languages are closely related and they both live in the rainforest.Research

22、ers asked the two groups to name odors and colors presented to them at random and found that the Semaq Beri used abstract terms for odors 86of the time about as often as they did for colors.The Semelai also used abstract color descriptions at a similar rate,namely 78of the time.But when it came to d

23、escribing odors they relied on abstraction on only 44 of occasions.Given these findings and with the earlier study with the Jahai,Dr.Majid argues that it is the hunting-and-gathering way of life,rather than the use of a particular language,that is vital to the use of abstract names for odors.25What

24、can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about American volunteers?AThey had more odors in life.BThey knew fewer odor names.CThey used more odor names.DThey were familiar with odor names.26How did the researcher carry out the study?ABy asking questions randomly.BBy changing peoples way of life.CBy comparing

25、 two groups of people.DBy living together with people involved.27What does the underlined word“they”refer to in Paragraph 4?AThe Jahai.BThe Semaq Beri.CThe Semelai.DThe Americans.28What is the text mainly about?ALifestyle and odor names.BLifestyle and color names.CLanguage and its vocabulary.DLangua

26、ge and human races.CAging happens to all,and is generally considered as a natural part of life.It would seem silly to call such a thing a disease.However,scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things,and that the former is a key risk factor for condition

27、s such as heart disease,cancer and many more.In that light,aging itself might be seen as something treatable,the way you would treat high blood pressure.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease.He said that describing aging as a disease creates encouragement t

28、o develop treatments.It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical(制药的)industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects,he said.Right now,people think of aging as natural and something you cant control,he said.In academic circles,people take aging research as just an in

29、terest area where they can try to develop interventions(干预).The medical community also takes aging for granted,and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range.But if aging were recognized as a disease,he said,It would attract funding and change the way we do health care.

30、What matters is understanding that aging is curable.It was always known that the body accumulates damage.he added.The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage.I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions.Leonard Hayflick,a professor at the University of Califor

31、nia,San Francisco,said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan（寿命）can be increased,which some researchers suggest is possible.Hayflick is not among them.Therere many people who recover from cancer,stroke,or heart disease.But they continue to age,because aging is separate from the

32、ir disease,Hayflick said,Even if those causes of death were removed,life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years.29.What do people generally believe about aging?A.It should be prevented and treated.B.It should be regarded as a kind of disease.C.They just cannot do anything about it.D.They

33、 can delay it with advances in science.30.What does Alex Zhavoronkov think of describing aging as a disease?A.It will help to reduce the side effects of aging greatly.B.It will make people determined to take aging for granted.C.It will limit chemists to the conventional beliefs about aging.D.It will

35、e textbook.D.In an official report.DElectronic devices can seem like a“third party in some relationships because some partners spend more time on them than with each other.When Amanda Gao,a 26-year-old white-collar worker in Beijing,went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night seve

36、ral weeks ago,she expected that they would have a good time together.To her disappointment,however,it did not turn out that way later.As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes,he buried himself in his mobile phone.“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us.A

37、date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I felt left out.Gao said.some people,like her,have found that electronics have been sabotaging(破坏)their romantic relationships.A study,published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture in April

38、 2017,questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed relationships to report on their and their partners smartphone dependency.The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships,and people who considered their partners excessiv

39、ely(过度地)dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan,a relationship advisor in Beijing,noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up peoples lives,they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships,especially for young people.Lin said s

40、he knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms,which she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples.She recommended 英语周测 6第 5 页（共 8 页）英语周测 6第 6 页（共 8 页）that if people are feeling neglected（忽视）in their relationship,they need to respect
