Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.

“This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important--not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive (认知的) development during ageing,” says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto, Canada. “In humans, it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer’s symptoms (阿兹海默氏症),possibly to the point of preventing them.”

Wojtowicz’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later - when the rats had reached middle age--the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.

Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.

The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze

40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.

“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we' re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.(Words:316)

24.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragrap h 2 refer to?

A.Study.

B. Development.

C. Ageing.

D. Exercise

25.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?

A.By analyzing causes.

B.By showing differences

C. By describing the process.

D. .By giving an example.

26.The study shows that _______

A.the more exercise a rat has when young, the better memory it will possess when older.

B. using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth

C. physical activity can prevent human’s Alzheimer’s symptoms

D. physical activity is important for physical health

27. What is the author’s attitude towards the animal study?

A. Doubtfu l.

B. Objective.

C. Critical.

D. Negative.

C

Teaching Poetry

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best

of all, reciting it.

I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analysing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.(Words:312)

28. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should______.

A. analyze it by oneself

B. discuss it with others

C. practise reading it aloud

D. copy it down in a notebook

29. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?

A.Extending your life

B. Saving your life

C. Criticizing life

D. Heightening life

30. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply_______.

A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.

B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.

C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

31. The underlined phrase “make room” in the l ast paragraph could be best replaced by ______ .

A. provide equipment

B. build a school

C. set up a house

D. leave a certain amount of time

D

NASA, the U. S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not

alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim is to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.

The search for intelligent life on other planets isn’t new. It began almost 100 years ago. That’s when scientists bu ilt a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart intelligent beings on other planets might pick up the signals.

Scientists have also sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach the earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer.

So far, no extraterrestrial (境外的) beings that we know of have returned our “calls”. But according to Dr Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.”

Last October, Dr Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes and others around the world will pick up radio signals from a new world.

Dr Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear. Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.

But that’s not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they can’t, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr Tarter. “And that would mean we’re not alone.” （Words:418）

32. NASA scientists started a new project so as to_______.

A. discover life in other galaxies

B. confirm the number of galaxies

C. send human beings into space

D. find evidence of a new galaxy

33. Dr Jill Tarter compare the new large receiver to_______.

A. the universe

B. the human ear

C.a huge dish

D.

a metal bowl

34. According to Dr Frank Drake, NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are ____.

A. moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels

B. picking up radio signals from new world

C. trying to check on every channel carefully

D. scanning the universe for possible signals

35. The best title for this passage is_______.

A. The Invention of New Radio Receivers

B. Sig nals from Space

C. NASA listens for Neighbors in Space

D. Intelligent Life in Outer Space

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There are plenty of common fears that, even if we don’t have them ourselves, we totally understand: spiders, heights, creepy clowns. And then there’s the number 13. It’s a number just like any other, and yet there are horror movies about it;

36 and plenty of couples avoid getting married on the 13th of the month. The technical name for the fear of 13 is triskaidekaphobia（恐数字13症）, and while it is rare, about 9 to 10 percent of Americans are, at the very least, uneasy about the number 13.

37 Well, there’s no single reason behind the widespread fear. Historians have pinpointed a few potenti al reasons for 13’s popularity as an unlucky number.

The most popular theory about the origin of this fear is of the Bible: there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. 38 In Norse mythology, too, a table of 13 proved unlucky, to say the least. According to one of the myths, the primary 12 gods were dining together peacefully until the god of mischief (and frequent superhero-movie villain) Loki showed up. As soon as this 13th guest arrived, chaos and carnage ensued. The superstition (迷信) that a table of 13 diners spells bad news even made its way into Harry Potter.

On its own, there are no problems with the number itself. It’s 13’s closeness to the number 12 that makes it look bad, according to scientists and mathematicians.

39 Civilizations as far back as ancient Sumer based their systems of telling time around the number 12. There are 12 hours on a clock, 12 months in a year, and 12 phases of the Zodiac. Twelve is also the largest number that also has one syllable (音节) (in English, at least). As the number immediately following this “perfect” one, 13 seemed flawed, inspiring unease throughout the ancient world.

40 The uneasiness about the number, dating back to ancient times, has been compounded over the years to create a very real, modern fear. (Words:356)

A.So factors from myth and math have combined to make this number eviler than any other.

B. How did the number 13 come into being?

C. In many ancient cultures, 12 was considered to be a perfect number.

D.What makes this number so scary?

E. some buildings intentionally have no 13th floor.

F. some people usually fear to use the number 4 besides 13.

G.The 13th to arrive was Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
