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!”

Answer 1

【主旨大意】本文講述一個注重飲食健康、也愛好晨煉的女孩見到一個“老人”，年齡雖大，看起來卻很快樂的。通過交談得知，這位不注重飲食和鍛煉的“老人”卻只有47歲。

26 B 【解析】由時間狀語“every morning”及常識可知，她是在每天早飯前進行散步五公里。

27. B 【解析】第一段中介紹Alicia健康的生活方式和飲食習慣，所以這一句的意思是“她不吸煙也不喝酒”。

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。故選C。

29. A 【解析】從下文的描述可知，he is a man。

30. B 【解析】由上文：他看起來又瘦又弱，并且手一直在晃動，與后文的“happy”形成轉折關系。

31.D 【解析】on one’s face在某人的臉上，是固定詞組。

32. B 【解析】選B。look系動詞，看起來，old and wise 做系動詞look的表語。句意“他看起來年紀很大而且很博學。

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

34. B【解析】句意：我希望你不要介意我的提問。mind sb.doing sth.介意某人做某事。stand意為“忍受、站立”， allow 意為“允許”，enjoy意為“享受”，這三項都不符合句意。

35. A 【解析】句意：我希望當我在你這個年齡時。when 當……時候，引導時間狀語從句；since后面一般跟“過去時間”；“for+時間段”往往用于完成時； though引導讓步狀語從句。

36. C 【解析】根據上一段第二句話“what’s your secret for being so happy at your age?”可以看出是“快樂的秘密”。happy的名詞形式為happiness.故選C。

37. A 【解析】由下文兩句話可知，對于“老人”的回答，她很驚奇。

38. C【解析】詞義辨析。根據倒數第四段中這位老人說的話，可以知道Alicia 認為他做的每一件事都對身體不好。

39. D【解析】Alicia認為這位老人的這種生活方式、飲食習慣會使他生病或不高興。angry 生氣的，serious嚴肅的，quiet 安靜的，sick生病的。

40. C 【解析】Alicia以為他90歲左右，她誤以為不用吃的很好或不用進行很多的鍛煉就能夠生活長壽、快樂。
