Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, yo

18、u will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studi

19、es of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.Its clear that the brain benefits from exercise,says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigoro

20、us physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into thr

21、ee groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals i

22、n the exercised or inactive groups,Greenough said. In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learni

23、ng a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especiallyable to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenoughs experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats tha

24、t had been exercised when very young. And while animals arent people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain pr

25、ocesses information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didnt exercise showed no

26、improvement.41. can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.43. While of

27、 rats showed a greater number of brain connections,had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain. A. the first group/the third groupB. the second group/the third groupC. the first group/the second groupD. the second group/the first group44. One possible reason for scientists to make experiment

28、s with rats or other animals is that.A. rats benefits from the experimentsB. the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC. an effect found in rats may also apply to humansD. rats and humans are very much alike45. Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups

29、in the humans studies?A. Corresponding. B. Inactive. C. Older. D. Faster./Passage TwoMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating childrens booksher life goal. So she was disappointed

30、when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,“ she admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results t

31、ransformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million rangeall as a result

32、of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbreits distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced awaybright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. I think the world could use more cuteness, she exp

33、lains. Indeed, its her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreitwould eventually realize her dream of illustrating a childrens book. In 1993 she created drawings fbr a children book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a

34、 surprising discovery: t4It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD.

35、she would illustrate childrens book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to NewYork,Engelbreit.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. drew illustrations fbr a childrens bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48.

37、it finally realized her dream of illustrating childrens book because.A. she learned how to illustrate childrens booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and

38、golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: Salvete, omnes! (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. How many people are in a duet? High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know,

39、 a boy responds, Because duo is two in Latin. High replies, Plaudite! and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. Latins going to open up so many doors for you, High says. Youre going to be able to figu

40、re out the meaning of words youve never seen before.High teaches at ProvidenceElementary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of Virginias high-stakes testing program, schools that dont boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding

41、. So FairfaxCity, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old featuremandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: T

42、hough some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and teach to the test, some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such as Texas, Virginia and

43、 Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the FairfaxCity school board: If were trying toimprove English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method.This is not your fathers Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled i

44、nto them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Todays growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. One thing that makes it engaging for kids i

45、s the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas, says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in FairfaxCity.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% o

46、f all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a single sound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatical structure of Latinwhich is simple, logical and consistentthey wil

47、l more easily grasp the many grammatical exceptions in English.51. From the first Paragraph we learn that.A. the students show little interest in learning LatinB. the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC. Amy High teaches the students to read Bible in LatinD. learning English is unnecessary

48、 if you have perfectly mastered Latin52. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. The testing program is crucial to the schools.B. Latin is compulsory to the elementary schools students in FairfaxCity.C. ProvidenceElementary School will not get state funding this year.D. FairfaxCity government had done a lot to equip its elementary schools.53. According to Allen Griffith, Latin.A. has little to do with EnglishB. is very helpful to ones learning English C. will replace English in the ne
