When Jean Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco.” She recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s oldest person. (There were others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age)
Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humor”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God may have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes. Her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humor. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I have only ever had one wrinkle, and I am sitting on it.” Her longevity made her famous. Her spirits made her eternal(永恒的)
小題1:Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?
A．To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.
B．To emphasize that Calement was born a long time ago.
C．To indicate that Calement is just as famous.
D．To admire the knowledge that Calement had.
小題2:The author believes that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to _____.
A．a sense of humorB．being kept busyC．belief in GodD．good genes
小題3:The underlined word imperturbable means ______.
A．calmB．humorousC．friendlyD．healthy
小題4:Toward the end of the story, the author seems to be impressed by Calment’s _____.
A．attitudeB．religious beliefC．knowledgeD．lifestyle

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:A

試題分析：本文介紹了Jean Calment是世界上活得最長久的人，這既與家族良好的基因，又與她對生活保持的平靜樂觀生活態(tài)度有關。
小題1:推理題：這是一種對比，強調Jean Calment出生時間在很早以前。故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第二段中“The truth probably was that she had good genes. ”事實可能是她擁有良好的基因。故選D。
小題3:推理題：根據(jù)后面的句子““If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.””可知Jean Calment 對這種無能為力的事情可以坦然面對，由此可知她是很冷靜的。故選A。
小題4:推理題：閱讀最后一段可知Jean Calment一直保持一種很規(guī)律的生活狀態(tài)和幽默感，這是她面對生活的態(tài)度。故選A。

I was ready to cry. In despair, I crossed the street on to an “island”, where I found a policeman. I took my last bit of courage in both hands and said, “Please, sir, where is Addison Road?” He began to explain, but when he saw that I couldn’t understand he became helpless, too. “Are you French at school?” A few minutes later, he smiled and raised his hand.
