We live in a world that prizes education. But most people think of education only in terms of formal classes. When people graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is 46 . But it is possible to continue learning after finishing school. And making the effort pays off personally and professionally.
On a personal level, learning can be fun. It can deepen your 47 by giving you something interesting to talk about. And it’s good for your brain. Hobbies that require thought can help you keep your mental abilities at your age. Just as exercise makes your muscles stronger, your mind becomes sharper when you use it.
Being a lifelong learner can also help your career. Becoming an expert in an area outside of your 48 job gives you freedom. It allows you to take a job another field if you want to. Also, knowledge in other areas can help you 49 creative ideas in your current job.
A) throughout B) economy C) resources D) nearby E) decision
So how do you become a lifelong learner? It starts with making a conscious 50 to do so. You need to be determined to keep making the effort to learn when it isn’t easy. It may help to find friends who will encourage your learning. It might also help to set aside specific items to study.
Try finding time to learn 51 your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audiobooks and podcasts are also helpful 52 . You can listen to them while traveling or doing chores.
Finding ways to use what you learn can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances, try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about 53 or science, explain what you’re learning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!

Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写)

A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark.
The research, published in Science Magazine, found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world. The gray-colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland, the world’s largest island. After examining one of these sharks, scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400 years ago and died out recently.
An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate (估计) the ages of 28 dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes. It is a new way to learn the age of an animal. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years old or more, and could even have been 300 years old. That would make them older than some whales, which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211 years old, according to the Associated Press.
This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans. Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties. African elephants average about 70 years. The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5 meters long. It was thought to have been 392 years old when it was caught four years ago. However, because the testing method is so new, it is not exact.
The study’s lead author is Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist from Denmark. He says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years in either direction. That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500 and 1740, with 1620 being the most likely.
'It's an estimate. It's not a determination,' Nielsen said. 'It is the best we can do.'
Even at the lowest age, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said.
'I don't know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,' Nielsen said.
69. According to Science Magazine, the Greenland shark ________.
A) is the longest living animal on earth B) rarely lives in the cold water of the Arctic
C) is an animal with a backbone D) still lives in the icy water now
70. A new way to learn the age of a female animal is _______.
A) to estimate it by a biologist B) to examine its skin
C) to study the lenses of its eyes D) to discover the place of its birth
71. The discovery means if people live into eighties, the shark might live into _______ years old.
A) almost 200 B) less than 211
C) over 320 D) at least 450
72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A) The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long.
B) It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392 years old.
C) Julius Nielsen says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years.
D) Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born.
73. The author will probably write about ________ after the last paragraph.
A) the discovery of why sharks get so old B) the living habits of the sharks
C) the reasons why sharks disappeared D) the bad side of the sharks
74. The best title of the passage may probably be “________”.

The Thanksgiving turkey is the cause of stress for me. I have 75 it as an enemy on Thanksgiving.
Over the years I had tried just every method of cooking the turkey. When I just got married I tried the traditional pan roasting method. But I forgot to buy my turkey 76 the day before Thanksgiving. And I bought a big one because I wanted to be sure to have enough turkey for everyone. Unfortunately, it wasn’t thawed (解冻) by the time I needed to cook it. I ended up with a dry turkey overcooked on the outside and rarely done 77 . And I had lots and lots of leftover turkey because nobody liked it.
The following year I was busy with a baby. So again I forgot to buy my turkey in time to get it 78 thawed. I had to be up most of the night before Thanksgiving running cold water over my turkey to get it thawed. The turkey ended up turning out okey but I was so tired and sleepy by the time I served dinner.
The next year I got a method of cooking turkey from local radio in early November. I was 79 to give it a try. Making that turkey was like taking care of a baby for nearly two days. I was so pleased with that turkey. I thought it was going to be the best tasting turkey ever since it was the most 80 I ever put in making turkey. But that didn’t happen. Nobody liked the flavour of the turkey.
I decided not to make one this year. But my family thought it wasn't Thanksgiving without turkey. The Thanksgiving turkey has been a yearly joke at our house and when I don’t make one there is nothing to complain about.
