Air pollution, such as haze, has become a serious problem around the world. Besides wearing a mask, what else can we do to protect ourselves from the dirty air?

Scientists have developed a new inhaler (吸入剂) that can reduce the effect air pollution has on people. It could help millions of people who are suffering from air pollution, the Guardian reports.

This inhaler is developed by German company Bitop and contains a molecule (分子) named Ectoine. The molecule creates a layer (涂层) that protects lungs from polluted air. It’s reported that the inhaler will be affordable to most people when it comes to the market.

Air pollution kills more than three million people a year worldwide and leads to health problems like lung and heart disease and strokes, according to a 2016 research project in the journal Nature. It is also linked to brain disease, mental illness and diabetes (糖尿病).

Andreas Bilstein at Bitop believed that the inhaler could be useful around the world, because air pollution is not just a European problem: “Especially in Asia － China in particular － the demand for such a product is even higher.”

Many Chinese cities have been suffering from haze. According to World Health Organization, two of the 10 most polluted cities in the world in 2015 were in China. About 800,000 deaths that are linked to air pollution take place in the country every year.

However, such inhalers should never be an excuse for not trying to stop air pollution, said Professor Jean Krutmann at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine. “The best thing is that we have clean air and we don’t need any prophylactic (预防性的) treatment,” he said.

1.What is the new inhaler?

A. It can help protect the environment.

B. It can help us reduce the harm of air pollution.

C. It can solve the air pollution problem.

D. It can make the dirty air clean.

2.From the third paragraph, we learn that ________.

A. the inhaler comes from a US company

B. the inhaler is named Ectoine

C. a molecule in the inhaler forms a layer on lungs

D. the inhaler’s price will not be too high for most people

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Air pollution kills millions of people a year worldwide.

B. Air pollution can cause mental illness.

C. There are no air pollution problems in Europe.

D. Air pollution is a serious problem in China.

4.Which is Professor Jean Krutmann’s opinion?

A. Such inhalers mean much to people.

B. We should take action to control air pollution.

C. We can depend on inhalers to solve air pollution problems.

D. We’d better produce more medicines to treat lung diseases.

A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.

Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.

Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.

A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.

"You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."

The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age.

"The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."

1.Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ________.

A. their biological clock is not powerful enough

B. the most definitive evidence has been found

C. they have a higher actual age than others

D. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate

2.How was the study conducted?

A. By collecting and analyzing data.

B. By interviewing lots of people.

C. By researching previous studies.

D. By studying different lifestyles.

3.According to the study, it can be inferred that ________.

A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer

B. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their age

C. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate

D. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. We all should keep healthy lifestyle

B. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventions

C. Biological clock predicts life expectancy

D. Horvath builds an important milestone

Have you ever thought of quitting your job when you feel exhausted? Maybe most of you would say “yes”. After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.

Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him.”

Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.

So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. I’ve noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. I’ve met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.

Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.

1.According to the story, the man on the bus threw away his cell phone because ________.

A. it didn’t work properly

B. it was stolen from someone else

C. he didn’t like the phone’s style

D. he didn’t want to be bothered by it

2.We can learn from the passage that cell phones ________.

A. are too expensive for many people

B. are of no use to the author

C. can also get people into trouble

D. can make life more interesting

3.What can we learn about the author?

A. He wants to own a garden now.

B. He always chatted with his neighbors.

C. He used to take his cell phone when going outside.

D. He once threw away his cell phone.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. tell us not to let cell phones control our lives

B. encourage others to hike with him in France

C. share his experiences in France with us

D.teach us how to get along with neighbors

Most penguins died after a huge iceberg grounded near their habitat in Antarctica，forcing them to make a long way to find food, scientists say in a newly published study. The B09B iceberg, measuring about 100 square kilometers, grounded in Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica in December 2010, the researchers from Australia and New Zealand wrote in the “Antarctic Science” journal.

The Adelie penguin population at the bay’s Cape Denison was measured to be about 160,000 in February 2011 but by December 2013 it had decreased to about 10,000, they said. The iceberg’s grounding meant the penguins had to walk more than 60 kilometers to find food, preventing their breeding attempts, said the researchers from the University of New South Wales’ ( UNSW) Climate Change Research Centre and New Zealand’s West Penguin Trust.

“The Cape Denison population could disappear completely within 20 years unless B09B relocates or the fast ice within the bay breaks out,”they wrote in the research published in. Fast ice is sea ice which forms and stays along the coast. During their survey in December 2013 , the researchers said “hundreds of abandoned eggs were noted, and the freeze-dried dead bodies of previous season’s little penguins lay everywhere on the ground.”

“It’s strangely silent,”UNSW’s Chris Turney , who led the 2013 exploration , told the“Sydney Morning Herald Friday”.“The ones that we saw at Cape Denison were terribly low-spirited , almost unaware of your existence . The ones that are surviving are clearly struggling. They can hardly survive themselves , let alone give birth to the next generation. We saw lots of dead birds on the ground.”

In contrast, penguins living on the eastern edge of the bay just 8 kilometers from the fast ice edge were full of vigour, the scientists said. The researchers said the study had important influence on the wider East Antarctic if the current situation of increasing sea ice continued. Sea ice around Antarctica is increasing, in contrast to the Arctic where global warming is causing ice to melt and icebergs to decrease. Scientists believe the growth in Antarctic sea ice is likely to be driven by changes in wind and local conditions before long.

1. What’s the main reason why the Adelie penguin population decreased?

A. Many Adelie penguins died from the cold weather in Antanctic.

B. They didn’t have enough time to give birth to and raise babies.

C. The iceberg’s grounding killed a number of Adelie penguins.

D. Adelie penguins lost their habitats so they couldn’t breed.

2.Which statement is correct according to the passage ?

A. The life of penguins in Cape Denison was very hard.

B. Penguins in Cape Denison were afraid of humans .

C. The sea ice in Antarctica is decreasing faster than before.

D. Human activities caused much damage to Cape Denison.

3. What does the underlined word “vigour”in the last paragraph mean ?

A. Trouble. B. Food. C. Energy. D. Joy.

4. What’s the main idea of the passage ?

A. Global warming caused penguins’ death.

B. Iceberg harmed penguins’ life.

C. Penguins need more habitats.

D. Antarctic extreme weather caused penguins’ death.

You ________ give me a lift. I want to walk home for exercise.

A. needn’tB. couldn’tC. can’tD. mustn’t
