B At 81 years old,Jeanne Daprano is still pushing her body to the limit.She's still running competitive races,breaking world records and taking on new challenges. “The thing I'm learning about aging is that it's ineluctable."Daprano said."I'm not going to escape it. There are two ways to go:You can either press on or give up.” Daprano grew up in lowa.Then,she moved to California. As a primary school teacher, she began running in order to keep up with her students."I was known as a running teacher,"she said. "I had my students do fitness beforewe studied in the morming and then throughout the day."Then she began running competitively with 5K and 10K road races before moving to the track.She is now the world record holder in the women's 75-year-old age group 400 meters and 800 meters. “When I get to the final finish line,I want this body to be worn out.

After moving to Atlanta about a decade ago,Daprano met fitness trainer David Buer.Ever since,she's been coming to his gym,where he tailors workouts for Daprano's specific needs. “When she came to me,she was pushing 70 years old,” Buer said."I've worked with other individuals Jeanne's age, but she came to me with different goals.She had a unique drive and passion-not just a passion for fitness or athletics but for life in general.” Last February,Daprano took on a new challenge:her first indoor rowing competition.

C Cutlery（餐具）including chopsticks，knives，forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks,which can make food taste saltier,sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning（调味）.They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter.This "digital seasoning"technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without relinquishing taste. They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the taste buds（味蕾）.Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe，an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery,said,"This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.” Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps-more than half of an adult's daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke. But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe.The technology,which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore，works by installing two electrodes（电极）into each chopstick or the end of a spoon.These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds. By controlling the frequency and strength of the electric current,the researchers can stimulate either sourness,saltiness or bitterness.They say up to 80% of people experience changes in saltiness and sourness with the devices and 70% can sense changes in bitterness. Dr Ranasinghe said he was also working on ways of imitating sweetness and spiciness by rapidly heating and cooling the tongue.It could lead to a spoon that allows desserts to taste sweet while having lower sugar levels or a fork that can give a curry extra heat without the need for extra chilies（辣椒）.Dr Ranasinghe said：“We have some early findings of imitating sweetness，a mint-cool sensation and hot or spicy sensations.” 28.What seasoning cutlery has been developed? A.Chopsticks. B.Knives. C.Forks. D.Spoons. 29.How does the seasoning cutlery work? A.It cuts down salt in food. B.It adds extra seasoning in food. C.It delivers an electric shock to the tongue. D.It weakens our taste sensation in our mind. 30.What does the underlined word "relinquishing" in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Removing. C.Acquiring. B.Attracting. D.Compromising. 31.What does the text mainly want to tell us? A.Give yourself an electric shock to make takeaways healthy. B.Try to eat at home instead of having take-out food to stay healthy. C.Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks. D.Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems. D Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight（伦理上的疏忽）of government-funded primate（灵长类） research.Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinson's,for example),researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end,the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based research-and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward. Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions,says David O'Connor, a pathologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.O'Connor is walking the walk:his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates,and he immediately posts all the results online.The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue（过分的）burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science,which uses rhesus macaques,small South Asian monkeys,to study the molecular basis of brain development,also makes all results public. O'Connor says this practice should be more widespread so that "researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.”Still,he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in "normative behavior"-science's strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed joumal.One step toward full transparency（透明度）is to follow the lead of human clinical trials,says Christine Grady,a bioethicist at the NIH.U.S.law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public,even if a study fails or is inconclusive.This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results-a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood,director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center,also says data sharing is "the way of the future."Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to O'Connor's website. "I don't see a drawback,”she says."We have to share data more quickly.” 32.What does Congress think of the primate research? A.It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine. B.It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates. C.Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons. D.Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely. 33.The underlined phrase "walking the walk"in Paragraph 2 shows that O'Connor A.is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates B.is walking away from his own responsibility C.is carrying out what he has said he should do D.is taking a tough road when posting his data 34.According to O'Connor,what might prevent scientists from sharing their data? A.The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published. B.The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of research. C.The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online. D.The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive. 35.What could be the best title for the passage? A.The Merciless Practice of Primate Research B.To Treat Primates More Humanely:Transparency C.To Abandon Experiments on Primates:Final Goal D.The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The word "diary" comes from the Latin word"diarium",which means "daily allowance". 36 And it is used for business notes, planning activities,keeping track of scheduled appointments,or documenting what has already happened.Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study. In America,from the 1940s through the 1980s,a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one's deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day.37 Many times,movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, "Dear diary...". 38 A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history,fo
