26、eight comes with a lot of health benefitsincluding making your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions (認知功能) such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is

27、 not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive def

28、icits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed menta

29、l skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operati

30、on improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that hes seen the positive effect that weig

31、ht loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional wayeating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with ope

32、rations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.1、There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _.Abelieve overweight only affects our bodyBhave focused on ways to sharpen peoples mindCdo not consider overweight a

33、 main cause for low cognitive abilityDare clear about the relation between weight and mental functions2、The result of Gunstads study shows that _.Alosing weight has little effect on peoples memoryBlosing weight can improve peoples mental functionsCoverweight people are likely to have psychology prob

Essentially, dry ice is

36、 frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 324, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as Dry Ice, which is what it is popularly called today.At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from soli

37、d to gas. It skips the liquid phase（階段）which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -21.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare

38、 hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isnt available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it

39、can maintain cold food for a long time.If youve ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （揮發(fā)的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.Another interesting use

40、for this substance is to bait（誘殺）insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 360s scientists g

41、uessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.1、Frozen CO2 gets its name of Dry Ice mainly becauseAit is very easy to make it dryBwe cant melt it a

42、nd it doesnt get wetCit looks like ice at a low temperatureDit is solid like ice at -21.3 degrees Fahrenheit2、The underlined word frostbite in the second paragraph probably meansAthe shakes caused by coldBdamage caused by freezingCa fever caused by being coldDa sharp pain caused by bums3、According t

43、o the passage, dry ice can be used toAfreeze most of food in the next centuryBincrease the production of farmingCmake a vivid fog effect on stagesDhelp to improve the environment4、What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?ADry ice on Mars is near the polar.BNot much dry ice has been found on Mars.

44、CThe polar ice cap of Mars is unique.DNo frozen CO, on Mars can be melt.25（10分） The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奧斯威辛) survivor Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn h

45、is degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans.

46、ortunities that have historically been available in the United States.“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldnt be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time.

49、. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9

50、/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, a

51、ttracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldnt get elsewhere.Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and af
