6.Jeanne Calment,a French woman,became a record breaker on 17October,1995,when at the age of 120years and 238days,she became the longest-lived human being on record.A Japanese man died in 1986at the age of 120years and 237days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband,her only child and her grandson have all died.She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair,but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120.She still has a lively sense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future,she replied:A very short one.She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and no smoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She has always eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,and she does smoke (now only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good  move at the time,but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on her birthday,Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry,I'm still alive!

C.march          
D.sport
27.Why does Jeanne Calment say"Sorry,I'm still alive"to the lawyer every year on her birthday?A
A.Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

C.Because she had an agreement at 80with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
D.Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.

分析 文章大意:本文介紹了世界上壽命最長的法國老太太,她活了120歲零238天,成為有記錄以來最長壽的人.Jeanne Calment,a French woman,became a record breaker on 17October,1995,when at the age of 120years and 238days,she became the longest-lived human being on record.A Japanese man died in 1986at the age of 120years and 237days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband,her only child and her grandson have all died.She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair,but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120.She still has a lively sense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future,she replied:A very short one.She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and no smoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She has always eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,and she does smoke (now only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good move at the time,but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on her birthday,Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry,I'm still alive!

解答 25.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章整體內(nèi)容及第二段第三句 She still has a lively sense of humor 可知這位老太太仍然非常高興也很有幽默感,因此答案選D.
26.B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)此單詞所在句子的前面部分 A local lawyer bought her house…under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death 可知當(dāng)?shù)氐囊晃宦蓭熃o老太太買了一套房子,每年會付給老太太一些錢,直到她死去,由此可知這在當(dāng)時是不小的一筆錢,因此答案選B,deal作名詞,意為"(一筆) 交易; 許多".
27.A 推理判斷題.文章倒數(shù)第 2 段第 1 句說 …so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house,而老太太本人也感到不好意思,由此可知答案選A.
