　　文章概要：

　　本文围绕“衰老”这一话题展开叙述。首段指出人体生命力变化的抛物线趋势，12岁最为旺盛;第2-3段讲到了人类衰老的不可抗拒性;最后一段以例证说明人类和手表等机械装置的“衰老”过程有较大的区别。

　　答案解析：

　　1.[A]细节推断题。根据各选项内容定位到第1、2段。根据第1段第2句可知，人在长到12岁时身体各个方面包括身材、力量和智力都还有待发展和完善，所以A(人在12岁发育达到顶峰)的说法不正确，故为本题答案。根据第1段第2句句末的内容可推测。D的表述与原文一致，可排除;根据第2段第2旬及第3段首句可知，B的表述正确，可排除;第2段段末指出：活到90岁以上的人很少，可能性也很小，故C正确，可排除。

　　2.[B]代词指代题。第2段段末说“有些人逝去得早些，而少数人可以活到90多岁至100岁”，it所在句出现的But以及下文“我们所能期望的寿命实际上是有限度的”提示，it应该指代前面出现的“长寿”。故B正确。

　　3.[C]根据ageing及各选项内容定位到第1、2段。细节概括题。根据第2段第1句对ageing的概括以及第l段第3句后半部分对 ageing的诠释，可知C为本题答案。A、D实际上是衰老过程的两个方面，因此A、D表述都是相对片面的，可排除;通过文中的叙述可知，衰老是一个过程，而不仅是一个简单事实，故B项不恰当，也可排除。

　　4.[D]细节推断题。根据题干中的watch定位到第4段。第4段中间部分指出：破损的手表也有不能修理的时候，由于自身的金属构造，手表不能像人类的身体那样进行自我修复，而人类的自我修复还可以在一定程度上缓解病痛、延长生命。这就表明人类和手表等机械装置的“衰老”过程有较大的区别，故选D。A、B与手表的例子无关.可首先排除;虽然热力学定律适用于手表等机械装置，但文中例子并没有传达出C的意思，故C也可排除。

　　5.[B]文体判断题。本文从衰老起始时间入手，主要介绍了衰老过程的相关内容。文中通过引用一些数据和使用对比等手段，说明了衰老的过程、必然性及其与机械装置损耗的区别所在。据此分析，本文属于说明文体，B为本题答案。A是本题的干扰项，文中没有出现独立的论点以及通过论据证明论点的表述，故将其划归议论文体不恰当，排除A。

passage two

　　This year, like lots of other people, I'm going to try to make my own Christmas presents. It's not the first time that I've promised myself this. Being a milliner, and an all-round crafty type, I've often thought I should put my money where my mouth is. But this year I'm really going to stick to it. It's partly that I'm short of cash, but also that I've recently returned from an inspiring trip around Britain, looking into "make do and mend" for BBC2's Newsnight.

　　I dreamed up the trip a few months ago. The thought of traveling the country--making things as I went, meeting artists and craftspeople--sounded like the perfect way to spend the summer. I'd pack a tent and a sewing machine and off I'd go. But by the time I finalized my plans and hit the road, leaves were already crunching under foot. It seemed crazy to camp with winter on the way; instead, Newsnight viewers offered me board and lodging in return for help with a craft task. There was an overwhelming response.

　　My tasks ranged from darning (缝补) a moth-eaten monk's jumper to making trousers for a stilt walker. Textile students in Harpenden offered to pay for my petrol in return for a talk about hats. In Derby, Amy needed help to transform an old pair of curtains.

　　I was really struck by people's growing enthusiasm for making things. I asked a WI group in Sheffield how many could sew, and only a few put up their hands. But when I asked who wanted to learn, nearly everyone responded positively. At the Textile Workshop in Nottingham, the number of classes on offer has doubled in a year, and a knitting club in Leeds is growing by the week.

　　Craft is definitely fashionable at the moment. But over and above fashion, we're learning to appreciate effort and quality again. Perhaps once people rediscover the pleasure to be gained from making something unique, it may stick.

　　Sue Pilchard is curator (管理者) of quilts at the V&A, where next spring she'll be putting on the museum's first major quilting exhibition. Sue believes the return to crafting is wrapped up in how we are redefining ourselves. "There's certainly a movement.., towards a new domesticity. People, especially women, are starting to think about the way they live their lives. It's 40 years since the first women's liberation conference was held in Oxford. Since that time we've been in the workplace, and we've had the opportunity of choice. Now we're deliberately choosing to go back into the home."

　　Whether you agree with that or not, there's something about Christmas that brings out the artistic streak in everyone. Whether it's baking mince pies or decking the halls, we're all prepared to have a go. So if you fancy pushing the boat out and making a few presents, try these really simple ideas, each inspired by my recent journey. They make ideal stocking fillers or small gifts, and take no longer than 30 minutes each. Play some carols, settle down with a steaming cup of cocoa, and forget the cold. You'll save yourself a bit of money and spread a little bit of love too!
