Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.

A. However, women, on average, live longer B .The biological factor plays an important part C. Women are also helped by their female genes D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions

Answer 1

【答案】A；G；D；C；E
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了女性比男性寿命长的原因。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. ”一般来说，女性比男性多活6或7年，可知.A.“However, women, on average, live longer”然而，女性平均比男性寿命更长，符合语境，故选A。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“ One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.”可知男性和女性之间荷尔蒙的不同使女性寿命更长，可知此空的意思是：荷尔蒙是身体产生的控制各种身体功能的化学物质，故G.“Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions”合语境，选G。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.”可知此空意思是：女性荷尔蒙也是另一种保护身体的方式，故D."The female hormones also protect the body in another way“合语境，选D。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后” Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. “科学家们仍然没有确切的表明基因怎样影响年龄，但是他们认为基因确实在影响年龄，可知C.”Women are also helped by their female genes“合语境。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前”Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.“一些人认为女性的细胞有比男性细胞老化慢的倾向，另一些人认为男性细胞有老化快的倾向，可知E"Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities"合语境。
