Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before    26   every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never    27   . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and fatty food,    28   . She weighted herself every day.

One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a    29    sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,   30    he looked very happy.

He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”

He had a wide smile    31    his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.

“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”

Alicia thought he    32   very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the    33    of a happy old age.

“I hope you don’t    34    me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do    35    I am your age.”

The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for   36   ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”

Alicia was    37   . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did    38    wrong. She thought he should be    39    and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life    40    eating well or doing lots of exercise.

“How old are you?” she asked.

“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

【主旨大意】本文讲述一个注重饮食健康、也爱好晨炼的女孩见到一个“老人”,年龄虽大,看起来却很快乐的。通过交谈得知,这位不注重饮食和锻炼的“老人”却只有47岁。

26 B 【解析】由时间状语“every morning”及常识可知,她是在每天早饭前进行散步五公里。

27. B 【解析】第一段中介绍Alicia健康的生活方式和饮食习惯,所以这一句的意思是“她不吸烟也不喝酒”。

28. C 【解析】either用于否定句句末;too用于肯定句句末;also用于肯定句句中。故选C。

29. A 【解析】从下文的描述可知,he is a man。

30. B 【解析】由上文:他看起来又瘦又弱,并且手一直在晃动,与后文的“happy”形成转折关系。

31.D 【解析】on one’s face在某人的脸上,是固定词组。

32. B 【解析】选B。look系动词,看起来,old and wise 做系动词look的表语。句意“他看起来年纪很大而且很博学。

33. A【解析】从下文“but what is your secret for being so happy at your age?” 可以判断用secret。

34. B【解析】句意:我希望你不要介意我的提问。mind sb.doing sth.介意某人做某事。stand意为“忍受、站立”, allow 意为“允许”,enjoy意为“享受”,这三项都不符合句意。

35. A 【解析】句意:我希望当我在你这个年龄时。when 当……时候,引导时间状语从句;since后面一般跟“过去时间”;“for+时间段”往往用于完成时; though引导让步状语从句。

36. C 【解析】根据上一段第二句话“what’s your secret for being so happy at your age?”可以看出是“快乐的秘密”。happy的名词形式为happiness.故选C。

37. A 【解析】由下文两句话可知,对于“老人”的回答,她很惊奇。

38. C【解析】词义辨析。根据倒数第四段中这位老人说的话,可以知道Alicia 认为他做的每一件事都对身体不好。

39. D【解析】Alicia认为这位老人的这种生活方式、饮食习惯会使他生病或不高兴。angry 生气的,serious严肃的,quiet 安静的,sick生病的。

40. C 【解析】Alicia以为他90岁左右,她误以为不用吃的很好或不用进行很多的锻炼就能够生活长寿、快乐。
