解析

试题分析：文章介绍一个年轻人在沙漠给老师带回一些水，老师喝了以后说很甜，但是老师的另外一个学生喝了以后却说水很难喝，老师解释他喝的不是水，而是学生的心意。
小题1:一个年轻人在穿越沙漠的时候，遇到一潭清水，水很甜。这里特指前面的water，用The
小题2:他把他的皮容器中装满，这样他可以带些回去给做过他老师的老人。这里是定语从句，先行词是an elder，定语从句中缺少主语：who
小题3:4天的旅程后，他把水交给老师。因为是过去的事情，所以用一般过去式：presented
小题4:老师喝了一口水，热情的微笑着。修饰smiled用副词：warmly
小题5:年轻人带着快乐的心回家了。用介词with
小题6:这个学生走后，老师让另外一个学生品尝这个水。用another
小题7:他把他吐出来，说很难喝。用现在分词做伴随状语：saying
小题8:你为什么假装喜欢它？用it代替the water。
小题9:没有什么比这个更甜的了。用否定词和比较级连用，表示最高级：sweeter
小题10:当我们接受孩子的爱的礼物的时候，我们更好的理解这个道理。When引导时间状语从句。

阅读所给短文, 并根据文章后的题目要求进行简答。
[1] Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place it is available if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little preserved ginger, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries riot together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever ,is still there to hold its own. Bread and butter, beef and mutton, eggs and bacon, are not more necessary to an ordered existence than the orange.
[2] It is well known that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have no room fully to speak. It has properties of health giving. It is clean, for whoever handles it, he doesn’t eat it directly but handles its outer covering, its top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent substitute with the young for a cricket ball. But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness.
[3] Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals to all of us. If it is going to be bad and it begins to go bad from the outside, not from           . How many an innocent-looking apple is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you can tell the shop man so before he slips it into the bag.
小题1:What’s the main idea of this passage? （no more than seven words.）

小题2:List at least two virtues of the orange? （no more than six words.）

小题3:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words? （no more than two words.）

小题4:Why is the orange clean? （no more than seven words.）

小题5:What does the word “it” (Line 2 , Paragraph 3)probably refer to?（no more than two words.）

[1] Have you ever had the wish to live another 100 years or more? Experts say that scientific advances will some day enable us to live tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
[2] “I guess we are knocking at the door of living longer,” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will _________________ and that’s a conservative estimate (保守的估计)."
[3]At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louris, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said.
[4]However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to live past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
[5]Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have a good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."
