in cognitive(認(rèn)知的) areas, such as attention and memory.This is true regardless of age.People will be alert(敏銳的) and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in.And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives.“The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging.“Most of us dont need that kind of skill.Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness.” Fozard and others say they challenge their brain with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups.Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well.Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted.“The point is you need to do both.” Cohen says, “ Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size.”(C)1.People who are cognitively healthy are those_.A.who can remember large amounts of informationB.who are highly intelligent C.whose minds are alert and receptiveD.who are good at recognizing different sounds(B)2.According to Fozards argument, people can make their brains work more efficiently by _ .A.constantly doing memory workB.taking part in various mental activitiesC.going through specific trainingD.making frequent adjustments(D)3.The findings of James and other scientists in their work_.A.remain a theory to be further provedB.have been challenged by many other expertsC.have been generally acceptedD.are practiced by the researchers themselves(A)4.Older people are generally advised to_.A.keep fit by going in for physical activities B.keep mentally active by challenging their brains C.maintain mental alertness through specific trainingD.maintain a balance between individual and group activities(B)5.What is the passage mainly about ? A.How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.B.Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentallyC.How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health.D.Why people should receive special mental training as they ago.Passage 3 Packaging is a very important from of advertising.A package can sometimes motivate(刺激；使有動(dòng)機(jī)) people to buy products.For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character.The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast fooD.Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products-or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the produce in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free.However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer.Maybe the package has “ Economy Size ” or “Family Size” printed on it.This suggests that the larger size has the most products for the least money.But that is not always true.To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answer.But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.(C)1.“A buyer will get something for nothing ” in Paragraph 2 most probable means that .A.a buyer will not get what he pays forB.a buyer will get more than what he pays forC.a buyer will get something useful free of chargeD.a buyer will get more but pay less(C)2.From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to_.A.the size of a containerB.a container with attractive picturesC.a well designed containerD.a plain container with low cost(B)3.What suggestion does the author give in the passage ? A.Its not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.B.The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.C.The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package.D.A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well designed package.(A)4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ? A.In fact glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all.B.“ Family Size ” printed on the package means that it is rather economic.C.To a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content.D.Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement.(D)5.What is the best title for the passage ? DA.How to Package a Product.B.How to Make an Advertisement.C.How to Sell Product.D.How to Attract More Buyers.Passage 4It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first joB.She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby(大廳；休息室) she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor.When she finally reached the office marked “ Smith Enterprises ”, she knocked at the door nervously and waiteD.There was no reply.She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer.From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr.Smith, it looked quite different now.In face, it hardly looked like an office at all.The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking.In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst(爆發(fā)，突發(fā)) of laughter as she came in.For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the man looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work.No one paid any attention to Marie.Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr.Smith, who would arrive at any moment.Then Marie realized that the days work in the office began just before Mr.Smith arriveD.Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.(B)1.Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because_.A.it was her first day in a new job B.she was a little bit late for workC.she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD.there was no answer from inside the office(D)2.Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as_.A.she had been there only onceB.Mr.Smith was not in the officeC.nobody was doing any workD.the office had a new appearance(D)3.The people in the office suddenly started working because_.A.they saw a stranger in the officeB.their morning break was ended C.no one wanted to talk to MarieD.the boss was about to arrive(D)4.We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _.A.would start their work by listening to a joke B.were cold to newcomersC.were always punctuafor work D.lacked devotion to the company(A)5.The best title for this text is_.A.Punctual Like A ClockB.A Cold WelcomeC.An Unpunctual ManagerD.Better Late Than NeverPassage 5 The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but non-sense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead.There is more life in it now than there ever was.But it seems that “village life” is dead.Gone for ever.It began to decline about a hundred years ago.When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century.It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it.It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day.It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villages.The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life”.It is just life, and a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning, or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.Obviously there children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.(D)1.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that_.A.those young people who talk of the village as being “ dead ” are wrongB.the two statements are against each otherC.“ village life ” today is rather uninterestingD.“ village life ” today is no longer like what it used to be(C)2.It was_that “ village life ” began to take a sharp turn.A.about a century ago

villagers todayB.knew fewer people than villagers todayC.found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD.liked to wash themselves with cold water(D)4.The expression “ there is no point whatever in talking about ” in Paragraph 3 means that _.A.there is no end to the talking aboutB.it is harmful to talk aboutC.it is not meaningless to talk aboutD.there is no reason for talking about(A)5.From the passage we can see that the writers attitude toward “ village life ” is_.A.positiveB.negativeC.neutralD.unclearPassage 6Women in Britain are without doubt better off today than they used to be.At the beginning of the nineteenth century women seemed to have had almost no rights at all.They could not vote, or even sign contracts.Their marriages were arranged by their parents, and once they were married they could not own property.Most of the time they were kept at home, and even when they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs.It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with this situation.Today the position is quite different.Women can now vote and choose their own husbands.In 1970 a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to equal pay with men for work of equal value.Yet despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences between men and women.Many employers maybe even the majorityseem to ignore the Equal Pay Act, and the average working woman is likely to earn only about half what a man earns for the same job.Most women who do work still do unskilled jobs, while only a small proportion of the countrys workers, possibly one third, are in fact women.There is also great inequality in education.Only a quarter of all university students are women, and at present boys schools are undoubtedly much better than girls schools.(B)1.In the 19th century a woman could NOT be_A.a nurseB.a managerC.a shop-keeperD.a land-lady(B)2.Women have the right to equal pay because_.A.a law was passedB.the Equal Pay Act was issuedC.they can voteD.they do the same jobs as men(B)3.The examples in Paragraph 3 show_.A.the equality of womenB.the inequality of womenC.the improving situation for womenD.the ideas for the future(B)4.The last sentence of Paragraph 1 suggests that_.A.women were happy in the 19th century B.people thought that women were happy in the 19th centuryC.women were worse off than todayD.women were better off than today(A)5.The author of this article probably agrees that_.A.women should be treated equally as menB.women should not do unskilled jobsC.women should not be nursesD.women should not go to schoolPassage 7 Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot”.Thats true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon(午前).For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(獨(dú)白) as : “ Get up, Peter ! Youll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to mark your life fit it better.Habit can help, Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(抵消) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning, but you have something important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour.This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam(振作精神) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean
