4."Within the heart there are millions of cells (细胞) that enable it to beat.Between the age of 20and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,"said Goldspink."This is part of the ageing process."
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,"said Goldspink.They studied more than 250healthy men and women between the ages of 18and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,"said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

29.The text mainly talks aboutC.
A.men's heart cells                 B.women's ageing process
C.hearts and long life               D.women's heart cells
30.According to the text,the UK scientists have known thatD.
A.women have more cells than men when they are born
B.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C.women never lose their pumping power with age
D.the female heart loses few of the cells with age
31.If you want to live longer,you shouldC.
A.enable your heart to beat much faster
B.find out the reason for ageing

14.Poverty today is a major global issue.Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it,in simple words,it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food,shelter,clothing,safe drinking water,health and education.Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world,although the causes may differ from country to country.Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level.This is simple math:If there are more mouths to feed and less income,definitely much will remain poor.
Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education.If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries,you will find that the level of education there is very low.Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities,thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
Moving away from one's own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too.It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs.Meanwhile,they live in bad conditions.The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business.For example,in America,a couple of decades ago,heavy industry flourished,which employed a lot of African-American people.But now,the focus is more on information technology and health care,both of which employ only skilled and trained people.This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
Poverty has many ill effects on society.That's why steps should be taken to get rid of it!
66.What's the meaning of the underlined word"flourished"in Paragraph 5?(No more than 5words)developed.
67.Why is overpopulation a cause of poverty today?(No more than 12words)
Because there're more mouths to feed and less income..
68.What's the situation of education in underdeveloped countries?(No more than 8words)The level of education is very low..
69.What does the passage mainly talk about?(No more than 10words)
Main causes of poverty in the world today..
70.In your opinion,what's the most significant cause of poverty today?Please give your reason.(Open)Lack of education.People without good education can't adapt to society,so they're much likely to suffer from poverty..
19.Go,known as Weiqi in China and Baduk in South Korea,was viewed as the last game where humans can defeat machines.Lee Se-dol,one of the greatest Go players,has won 18world championships for 21years of his professional career.AlphaGo,a computer program developed by Google's DeepMind,beat the European Go champion,an achievement that was not expected for years in October,2015.
The match between Lee and AlphaGo was seen as a representative game between humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI).The match of the century drew great attention from news organizations,Go fans and the general public across the world as well as in South Korea.
Go originated from China more than 2,500years ago.It involves two players who take turns putting markers on a net-shaped board to gain more areas on it.One can occupy the markers of the rival by surrounding the pieces of the other.Go is considered to be a lot more complex than chess where artificial intelligence scored its most famous victory to date when IBM's Deep Blue beat grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997.
But experts say Go presents an entirely different challenge because of the game's incomputable number of move options.In other words,the computer must be capable of human-like"intuition"(直觉) to win.
"I was very surprised because I did not think that I would lose the game,"said Mr Lee.He said AlphaGo's early strategy was"excellent"and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played.
AlphaGo is proud of a deep learning capability to learn for itself and discover new strategies by playing games against itself and adjusting neural networks (神经网络) based on a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement (强化) learning.
In spite of his loss,he did not regret accepting the challenge."I had a lot of fun playing Go and I'm looking forward to the future games,"he said after AlphaGo won 3-0in a five-game match.
"Playing against a machine is very different from an actual human player.Normally,you can sense your rival's breathing,their energy.And lots of times you make decisions which depend on the physical reactions of the person you're playing against.With a machine,you can't do that",Lee said.

16.I'm sure you've asked this when traveling,"Can I drink the tap water?"It is easy to get confused about where it's safe to drink and where it's not,especially if you're planning a multi-destination trip.Some countries like India and Mexico are well known for unsafe tap water but where else is it a health risk?
If you want a quick reference for where on the Earth the water is safe,we've got you covered with this helpful graph.It was created by Just the Flight.All of the information about water safety is based on data from the CDC.The graph also shows pricing for bottled water and beer for each country as well!So if you can't drink the water you know what you're looking at for costs to stay hydrated.
Have plans to travel to a place where the tap water is deemed unsafe?Remember to skip ice in your drinks and avoid uncooked fruit and vegetables unless they've been peeled.Make sure to use bottled water when brushing your teeth as well.
Please know,not all of the countries listed on the graphic have dirty or polluted water.I know from personal experience,tap water may be safe at different elevations and in different areas within a country shown as unsafe on the graph.Ultimately,further research is required.Falling short of that,follow the advice on the graph to avoid an uncomfortable case of traveler's illness.
It's definitely better to be safe than sorry!
