16．Jeanne Calment，a French woman，became a record breaker on 17 October，1995，when at the age of 120 years and 238 days，she became the longest-lived human being on record．A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 day s．
    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 94 and her mother to 86．
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death．It must have seemed a good more 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!
25．How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age？D
A．She is miserable and unhappy．
B．She feels she is going to die very soon．
C．She would like to live much younger．
D．She is cheerful and humorous．
26．Which of the following word could best replace the word"move"in the fourth paragraph？B
A．trick             B．deal                 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．
B．Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed．
C．Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage．
D．Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid．

6．Do you have a spare room in your house？What about a driveway for your car？Both of these can help you make money．Many people who are feeling the pinchare taking advantage of what's been called the"sharing economy"．
   Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers．It says it operates in 34，000 cities and it has over 1，500，000 listings．It seems to have cornered the market!
   A British company is doing something with parking spaces．JustPark's founder，Anthony Eskinazi，says，"When I had the original idea，I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium．It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than a commercial car park．"And he has a big clientele（顧客）：around 20，000 people have advertised their spaces on the site，and he says around half a million drivers use it．There are other sites doing very similar things，like Uber and Lyft-these let drivers share their cars with other passengers．Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is．A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over£200，000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!
   Because this is a new business world，those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy to share-as long as it pays!
   But the sharing company has its critics：the competitors of these new companies．People who run things like traditional B&B，commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket．And there is another issue：regulations on these new businesses are unclear．How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor？
32．What does the underlined phrase"feeling the pinch"probably mean？A
A．Lacking in money                        
B．Full of curiosity
C．Willing to help others                          
D．Unsatisfied with their lives
33．Who may be against the sharing economy？D
A．A taxi driver who can't find a parking place．
B．A priest in the church near Kings Cross
C．A traveler who needs accommodation．
D．A well-known high-end holiday hotel．
34．Why are many people pleased to share according to the passage？B
A．Because they can gain huge profits．
B．Because there're few rules to limit them．
C．Because they needn't pay any fee．
D．Because the new business has no risks．
35．Which of the following words can best describe the booming sharing economy？C
A．Creative and developed                      
B．Competitive but unpractical
C．Effective but worrying                      
D．Traditional and acceptable．

5．Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind，unless they hunt them for food．Sometimes，however，two kinds of animals come together in a partnership （伙伴關(guān)系） which is good for both of them．You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep．This is not because they want a ride，but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生蟲(chóng)） on sheep．The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort．So although they  can manage without each other，they do better together．
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner．The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other．This is so in the corals （珊瑚） of the sea．In their skins they have tiny plants which act as"dustman"，taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe．If the plants are killed，or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally，the corals will die．
