2771．Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness.Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.
The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children，and for writing books for young people that covered difficult subjects like war and violence. "Drugs，drive-by shootings，wasted lives - Myers has written about all these subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won，qualified sense of hope，" said Leonard S.Marcus in 2008.
He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died when he was 18 months old They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.
He began writing at an early age.He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. "It's what you do，" she said.
He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army.After finishing his service，he entered a dark period in his life.Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.
In a New York Times essay published earlier this year，Myers described how a short story by James Baldwin helped change the course of his life. "I didn't love the story，but I was lifted by it，" he wrote，"for it took place in Harlem，and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew.By humanizing the people who were like me.Baldwin's story also humanized me.The story gave me a permission that I didn't know I needed，the permission to write about my own landscape，my own map."
"I write books or the troubled boy I once was，" he wrote，"and for the boy who lives within me still."

So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic，though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment，the plumbing （水管）worked.（2）Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said，"Ouverture des portes，" in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered，and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago，they eat great food and never gain weight.（3）French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead，they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
（4）On our first morning in Paris，I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost ￥18!
In France，quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life.French cafés are always crowded.（5）When do these people work？The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously - so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live，in some way，like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.發(fā)布：2024/5/23 20:38:36組卷：6引用：1難度：0.52773．

On the other hand，scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things，and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease，cancer and many more．In that light，aging itself might be seen as something treatable，the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency．
Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease．He said that describing aging as a disease creates encouragement to develop treatments．
"It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical（制藥的） industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects，" he said．
"Right now，people think of aging as natural and something you can't control．" he said． "In academic circles，people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interferences．The medical community also takes aging for granted，and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range． "
But if aging were recognized as a disease，he said， "It would attract funding and change the way we do health care．What matters is understanding that aging is curable．"
"It was always known that the body accumulates damage．" he added． "The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage．I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions．"
Leonard Hayflick，a professor at the University of California，San Francisco，said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased，which some researchers suggest is possible．Hayflick is not among them．
"There're many people who recover from cancer，stroke，or heart disease．But they continue to age，because aging is separate from their disease，" Hayflick said． "Even if those causes of death were removed，life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years．"
（1）What do people generally believe about aging？
A．It should cause no alarm whatever the circumstances．
B．It should be regarded as a kind of disease．
C．They just cannot do anything about it．
D．They can delay it with advances in science．
（2）How do many scientists view aging now？
A．It might be prevented and treated
B．It can be as risky as heart disease．
C．It results from a vitamin deficiency．
D．It is an irreversible（不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的） biological process．
（3）What do we learn about the medical community？
A．They now have a strong interest in research on aging．
B．They differ from the academic circles in their view on aging．
C．They have ways to prevent people's aging process．
D．They can contribute to people's health only to a limited extent．
（4）What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe？
A．Aging is hardly separate from disease．
B．The human lifespan cannot be lengthened．
C．Few people live up to the age of 92．
D．Heart disease is the major cause of aging．發(fā)布：2024/5/23 20:38:36組卷：13引用：1難度：0.32778．He
