She is also the first citizen of Japan to live so long, but is unlikely to be the last. The country has the world’s longest life expectancy, with 80,000 people aged at 100 years old or older.Diet helps a lot with the unusual longevity enjoyed in Japan. Japan largely banned meat for 1200 years, and still consumes relatively little meat and dairy. Too much of these can be damaging, since they contain saturated fatty acids(饱和脂肪酸), which correlate to heart disease. Studies have also tied eating lots of processed red meat to a greater risk of stroke. But too little may be unwise as well, because they provide chemical substance that may be needed for our blood-tube walls. In a study of 48,000 Britons, vegetarians were unusually resistant to heart disease, but likely to suffer from strokes.In theory, a lack of animal-based food could have contributed to Japan’s historical cerebrovascular(脑血管) death rate. In 1960-2013, as the country’s deaths from strokes reduced, its annual meat intake rose from near zero to 52kg per person (45% of America's level). Tsugane Shoichiro of the National Cancer Centre in Tokyo says that his citizens may need meat and dairy to keep their blood tubes strong—though not so much that those tubes get blocked.Some evidence supports this view. One study from the 1990s found that the parts of Japan where diets had changed most also had the biggest drops in cerebrovascular death rate. Another study, which tracked 80,000 Japanese people in 1995-2009, showed that strokes were most common among those who ate the least chops and cream. Although Japan’s decline in cerebrovascular deaths could stem from other causes, these data suggest that nutritional shifts may have helped.The true story is that Japan’s health gains, paired with a low birth rate, threaten its economy. By 2060, 40% of Japanese could be 60 or older. That would produce more birthday cakes with over 100 candles—and fewer great-grandchildren to blow them out.4．Why is Kane Tanaka mentioned?A．To provide evidence. B．To introduce the topic.C．To promote an idea. D．To make comparison.5．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．The weakness in Japanese diet. B．The secret to Japanese longevity.C．The diet changes in the world. D．The effect of different diets.6．What does the underlined “this view” mean?A．A balanced diet is a better choice for Japanese.B．Japanese should live on animal-based food.C．Meat and diary protects people from heart diseases.D．More research on diet needs to be done.7．How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A．Happy. B．Relieved. C．Embarrassed. D．Concerned. A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It’s called the ipet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion’s founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(钩住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.But there’s sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the boys and change the place where they’re located in the room.Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adapter(适配器) ---toys that you can get on your own. And that’s where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don’t really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you’d be able to activate to water your grass.“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the woorld,” Harris said.8．What does the underlined word “remotely” in Paragragh 1 probably mean?A．far away.B．For free.C．With pity.D．Out of control.9．Many people are interested in iPet Companion because______________.A．it can be used to kill timeB．it is easy to control onlineC．it can meet all of their demandsD．they can show their love for faraway pets by using it10．Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?A．Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.B．They don’t receive rewards from the games.C．Toys are played with too often at the same place.D．Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.11．What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?A．iPet Companion is only a kind of toy.B．Kickstarter can be used in many other ways.C．iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.D．iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away. Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers and surf the Internet, we’ll see the word “diet”. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that do bad things to us psychologically (心理地) and physically (身体地).It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption (消耗) of fat. All we have to do is to recognize the word “diet”on food labels (标签).What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie (卡路里) drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without doing exercises.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals (化学品) to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because having them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional (营养的), and the chemicals that go into diet products are dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.12．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．Diet products are misleading people.B．People have trouble choosing diet products.C．People should not watch TV or turn on radio.D．Diet products are in our daily life.13．What is the psychological effect of diet products?A．People tend to think before they enjoy diet products.B．People tend to pay attention to their daily diet.C．People tend to watch their weight rather than their diet.D．People tend to try out many kinds of diet products.14．What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A．Diet products cause no pain.B．We should put on weight.C．Diet products are free of fat and calories.D．Losing weight is easy.15．Why do diet products indirectly harm people physically?A．Diet products are short of basic nutrients.B．Diet products are rich in chemicals.C．Diet products must be wonderful products.D．Diet products are healthy food.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Stress is a major problem in the modern world. ___16___ It is common among office workers.

If we lost one of them, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our life as others. Take sight as an example, it allows us to enjoy the beauty of a sunny day, a rainbow in the sky and other interesting things. Without it, we would live in darkness and thus have much difficulty in our daily life. Now that sight is so important for us, losing it would be painful. However, if you, unluckily, lost your sight, remember not to lose your hope for life. Instead, try your best to encourage yourself to make your life as meaningful as others. Because it is not losing senses but losing confidence that is frightening. Meanwhile, you can make your other senses more powerful by practicing. After all, there are many people without sight in the world who have become successful by means of their struggle.
