2019 高考英语二轮阅读理解讲与练（解析）-理解作者意图题指 <br />导（1） <br />A <br />Jeanne Clamant, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when <br />at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on <br />record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days. <br />Jeanne Clamant lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, <br />her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is <br />always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old <br />in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked <br />on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short <br />one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. <br />So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and <br />no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Clamant has followed two of the <br />tips(窍门). She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every <br />day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank <br />two glassed of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, <br />Jeanne Clamant might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents. Her father <br />lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86. <br />A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would <br />pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at <br />the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the <br />house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Clamant sends him a card saying: <br />Sorry, I’m still alive! <br />1. How does Jeanne Clamant feel about her old age? <br />A. She is miserable and unhappy. <br />B. She is cheerful and humorous. <br />C. She would like to live much longer. <br />D. She feels she is going to die very soon. <br />2. Jeanne Clamant owes her good health and long life to _______. <br />A. smoking only a little every day <br />B. her giving up smoking and drinking <br />C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day <br />D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises <br />3. Which of the following could best replace the word “move” in the fourth <br />paragraph? <br />A. deal B. trick C. march D. sport <br />4. Why does Jeanne Clamant say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every <br />year on her birthday? <br />A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage. <br />B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed. <br />C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house. <br />D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already <br />paid.出处 学英语报 <br /> 体裁 夹叙夹议 <br /> 话题 世界上最长寿旳一位...
