An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu

（臭豆腐）

settled onto my

grandmother’s

dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my

appetite, and I pushed the dish away.

“It’s

supposed to stink. Just give it a

try!”

my grandmother said.

Holding

my

breath,

I

unwillingly

took

a

bite.

To

my

surprise,

the

tofu

beneath

the

fried

skin

was

warm,

soft,

and

mouthwatering.

Since

then,

whenever

I

visited

my

grandmother’s

house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus,

stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.

Along

with

the

stinky

tofu,

I

would

meet

my

Uncle

Chan

on

every

visit.

As

an

immature boy, I never understood my

uncle’s

condition of Down syndrom

（

e

唐氏综合征）

.

He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the

house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.

However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of

my

bed

when

I

heard

soft

steps

approaching.

It

was

my

uncle.

My

muscles

froze.

He

slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke

（抚摸）

a baby.

A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not

help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first

time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.

My

uncle

very

much

resembles

stinky

tofu.

Stinky

tofu

smells

unpleasant

on

the

outside,

yet

feels

warm

and

soft

on

the

inside.

Like

stinky

tofu,

my

uncle’s

Down

syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless

and has a loving nature.

Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a

regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are

unable to see through the surface of prejudice

（偏见）

. As a result, they judge the disabled

with one glance.

The

outside

and

inside

of

the

stinky

tofu

exist

as

two

extremely

different

worlds.

Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a

valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.

41

．

Why did stinky tofu become the

author’s

favorite dish?

A

．

It was related to family tradition.

B

．

It turned out to be quite delicious.

C

．

Grandma encouraged him to try it.

D

．

His appetite for food had increased.

A

B

．

He was an energetic guy.

C

．

He was an immature man.

D

．

He was a strange creature.

The

author’s

attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when ______.

A

．

Chan’s

footsteps woke up the author

B

．

Chan showed his friendliness to the author

C

．

Chan displayed his love towards his mother

D

．

Chan’s

blank expression made the author smile

44

．

The comparison between stinky tofu and the

author’s

uncle serves to ______.

A

．

highlight the nature of Uncle Chan

B

．

analyze the family relationship

C

．

describe a childhood memory

D

．

introduce a traditional Chinese food

45

．

What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?

．

We

shouldn’t

judge by appearances.

B

．

A

person’s

taste changes over time.

C

．

Blood is thicker than water.

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronologica

（

l

按时间计算的）

age, how old the

calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions

as it compares to average fitness or health levels.

“Chronological

age

isn’t

how old we really are.

It’s

merely a

number,”

said Professor

David Sinclair at Harvard University.

“It

is biological age that determines our health and

ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes,

what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is

the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our

ability

to

control

biological

age,

we

may

have

even

fewer

candles

on

our

birthday

cake

than the previous

one.”

To

calculate

biological

age,

Professor

Levine

at

Yale

University

identified

nine

biomarker

（

s

生物标志）

that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood

test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune

（免疫的）

measures,

can be put into the computer, and the algorithm

（算式，算法）

does the rest.

英语（天津卷）笔试

第

页（共

Perhaps

what’s

most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors

can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take

steps

to

improve

their

biological

conditions.

“I

think

the

most

exciting

thing

about

this

research

is

that

these

things

aren’t

set

in

stone,”

Levine

said.

“People

can

be

given

the

information earlier and take steps to improve their health before

it’s

too

late.”

Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the

results.

“I

always

considered

myself

a

very

healthy

person.

I’m

physically

active;

I

eat

what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had

hoped they would be. It was a wake-up

call,”

she said.

Levine

is

working

with

a

group

to

provide

access

to

the

algorithm

online

so

that

anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve

their own health in the long run.

“No

one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of

ch ronic

（慢性的）

diseases,”

< br>

Levine

said.

“By

delaying

the

development

of

mental

and

physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years.

That is the ideal we should be

pursuing.”

46

．

Biological age depends on ______.

A

．

whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment

B

．

how well our body works compared with our

peers’

C

．

when we start to take outdoor exercise

D

．

what the calendar says about our age

47

．

By saying

“we

may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous

one”

in Para. 2, the author means ______.

A

．

we

don’t

have to celebrate our birthday every year

B

．

we are chronologically older than last year

C

．

we might be less happy than the previous year

D

．

we may be biologically younger than the year before

48

．

According to Prof. Levine, what is the most exciting thing about her research?

A

．

The measures are not fixed.

B

．

Health services can be set up.

C

．

The problems are not that serious.

D

．

The research results are written in stone.

49

．

What does the author want to tell us by

Levine’s

example in Para. 5?

A

．

It is necessary to change our diet regularly.

B

．

The test results may give us wrong information.

C

．

Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.

D

．

The ultimate goal of

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But,

once I found out my

friends were going into

“real”

majors, like marketing, nursing, and

engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my

mind

and

chose

Business

Management

as

my

major.

I

forced

myself

to

believe

that

I

would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding

the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize

it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other

majors offered in the College of Humanities

（人文学科）

!

The

worries

most

people

have

about

a

Humanities

degree

and

finding

a

career

afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills.

Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what

people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective

（视角）

. How could one effectively be

an unbiased

（无偏见的）

writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society?

How could one speak persuasively

with closed

minds?

Only

seeing the world through a

single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a

broader perspective, we will be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we

can become!

STEM

(science,

technology,

engineering,

and

mathematics)

graduates

learn

actual

skills

in

their

studies,

while

humanities

majors

learn

“soft

skills”

like

communicating

effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing

（综合）

ideas

through

gathering

and

interpreting

information,

and

developing

cultural

awareness.

Do

those

soft

skills

sound

useless

and

inapplicable

to

you?

Think

of

it.

How

often

do

you

communicate

with

others

?

Produce

ideas?

Encounter

people

from

other

cultures?

Every

day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills?

If

you

choose

a

major

in

the

College

of

Humanities,

you

will

be

needed.

The

job

market

is

quietly

creating

thousands

of

openings

a

week

for

people

who

can

bring

a

humanist’s

grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to

any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no

matter what other people think.

My teacher Peter Bullock proved that science

wasn’t

boring and made physics great

fun. In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled

fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to

them being

handed

out.

I’ve

kept

them

all

to

show

to

my

own

children.

There

was

one

poem in particular

that’s

stayed in my memory, which went:

In early days Man measured Time

By sunrise and sunset sublime

;

…

As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and

conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring

academic discipline.

I’m

sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics

—

waves

and electricity and so on

—

but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and

did so in a clever and imaginative way.

Peter

Bullock

was

not

only

an

exciting

teacher,

but

also

the

man

who

founded

the

debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful

way

that

I’ve

been

doing

ever

since

—

and

getting

paid

for

it.

That

made

me

what

I

am

today

—

a commercial lawyer.

Peter

Bullock

taught

me

throughout

my

secondary

schooling

and

I

took

physics,

chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring.

He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the

surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people

I’m

interested in

law,

they

may

think:

“How

boring.”

I

guess

being

a

physics

teacher

is

much

the

same.

Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite

other people.
