【解析】

這是一篇說明文。有的人看起來比實(shí)際年齡小，是因?yàn)榻】档纳�活方式，好的遺傳基因讓人看起來更年輕，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人的心態(tài)可以反應(yīng)他的主觀年齡。

【1】考查比較級。根據(jù)后文的had finished過去完成時，可判斷事情發(fā)生在過去之前，a few months earlier幾個月之前，可以和過去完成時連用，故填earlier。

【2】考查時態(tài)。根系句子可知此處是從句謂語動詞，此處考查固定句型had done…when(從句用一般過去時)剛做完某事突然就……，故填noticed。

【3】考查非謂語動詞。分析句子可知此處是非謂語動詞作狀語，邏輯主語the woman和explain（解釋）之間是主動關(guān)系，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞，故填explaining。

【4】考查時態(tài)。分析句子可知此處是定語從句謂語動詞，根據(jù)下文的over the years(在過去幾年里)判斷該句為現(xiàn)在完成時，主語為I，故填have made。

【5】考查冠詞。age是可數(shù)名詞，此處是泛指，應(yīng)用不定冠詞，又actual是元音音素開頭，故填an。

【6】考查形容詞。此處應(yīng)填形容詞作為feel的表語，youth的形容詞是young和youthful，故填young/youthful。

【7】考查名詞。此處應(yīng)填名詞作為finding的賓語，connect的名詞形式connection為可數(shù)名詞，some可以理解為“一些/某個”，故此處可以用名詞單數(shù)形式，也可用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填connection/connections。

【8】考查介詞。句意：擁有健康生活方式和好的遺傳基因的人傾向于在這些評價中獲得高分。分析句子可知此處應(yīng)填介詞，再結(jié)合句意表示“有”的介詞是with，故填with。

【9】考查短語。此處考查短語tend to do sth傾向于做某事，故填to score。

【10】考查非限定性定語從句。分析句子可知，此處是非限定性定語從句的關(guān)系詞，先行詞one在從句中充當(dāng)主語，應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)，故填which。

第2題Stephanie Heller, had finished her workout in the gym when she ___2___(notice)a woman in the parking lot struggling to bend down.考查時態(tài)，此處是關(guān)于when的特殊句型，即：had done…when…剛做完某事就……，when所引導(dǎo)的句子用一般過去時，故天noticed。When與此類似的句型有：

1.was/were doing…when…正在做某事……突然

She was walking on the street when it began to rain.她正在街上走，突然下雨了。

2.was/were about to do… when…正打算做某事……突然……

I was about to leave when the phone rang.我正打算離開突然電話響了。
