He was “very ugly, ungracious (举止粗俗的), impolite, sickI forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was th
23、e worlds eldest person. (There are 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 humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me
24、,” 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 cant do anything about it,” she
25、reportedly 金太阳新课标资源网 第 4 页 共 12 页 金太阳新课标资源网 said, “dont 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

30、pidly in the new century, according to experts participating in the fourth Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Technomart, a technology exhibition and trade fair in Suzhou. “Most people think nano-technology（纳米技术）is too far-fetched to be real. But in fact nano-technology has been applied in a w
31、ide range of fields, such as medicine. It is coming into our daily life,“ said Cheng Jiachong from a Hong Kong-based nano-technology firm. Nano-technology based on the nanometer, the unit of which is a billionth of a meter, enables scientists to have new concepts of disease diagnosis and treatment o
32、n a molecular（分子）and atomic scale, Cheng said. By using nanometer particles, a doctor can separate the fetus cells（胚胎细胞）from the blood of a pregnant woman to see if the development of the fetus is normal. This method is also being used in the early diagnosis of cancer and heart disease, he said. One
33、 of the most significant impacts of nano-technology is at the bio-inorganic materials interface, according to Greg Tegart, executive advisor of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight. “By combining enzymes（酶）and silicon chips we can produce biosensors. These could be implanted in humans or animals
34、 to monitor health and to deliver corrective doses（剂量）of drugs,“ he told the participants a technology forum during the exhibition. “Nano-technology could affect the production of nearly every man-made object, from 金太阳新课标资源网 第 5 页 共 12 页 金太阳新课标资源网 automobiles, tires and computer circuits（电路）, to ad
35、vanced medicines and tissue replacement, and lead to the invention of objects yet to be imagined,“ said David Minns, a special advisor to the National Research Council of Canada. It has been shown that carbon nano-tubes are ten times as strong as steel, with one sixth of the weight, and nano-scale s
36、ystems have the potential to make supersonic transport cost- effective and to increase computer efficiency by millions of times, he said. The experts agreed that the APEC technology exhibition and trade fair provided many chances for exchanges of innovative ideas and products.45. Realization of the

39、r and lighter B. lighter but as strong C. stronger but as light D. poor in qualityCGooglefight is a simple service available on the Internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the Google search engine. The seemingly simple device has proved i
40、nvaluable to users, especially to help win arguments.For example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes. Lets say that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
41、You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages, whereas Jackie Chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times! In this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one Star over another.But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful
42、 from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. You can, for example, find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce (推断) from the answers which one is more common. For example, lets take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same th
43、ing (although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun). It is immediately clear from Googlefight that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.But the real value of Googlefi
44、ght to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. For example, “raining cats and dogs” is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather. Do English speakers still use it? Or are they more likely to say 金太阳新课标资源网 第 6 页 共 12 页 金太阳新课标资源网 “pouring down”? Goo
45、glefight suggests the latter. “Pouring down” has 898,000 Google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.With phrases, its important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. For example, if you type in the similar phrases “look after” and “take car
46、e of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.49. What is Googlefight?A. A fight between two people on Google.B. A way to make sure you win an argument.C. A website showing how many hits two different things have.D. A list of all
47、the websites on Google.50. Language teachers find it useful because _.A. there are a lot of words on GooglefightB. it can tell them which of the two words with the same meaning appears more oftenC. some words mean the same thingD. common words have a billion hits51. What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefight?A. Make sure they
