Passage 2 www.test99.com
Many of us believe that a persons mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at the University of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins (孪生儿), who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr. Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected. www.test99.com
However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr. Jarviks studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well. www.test99.com
It is true older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call loss of memory is not that at all. There was usually incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace. In the cases where the older persons mind really seems to become less active, it is not necessarily a sign of becoming less active due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional (压抑的感情) state. www.test99.com

Passage 3 www.test99.com
For hundreds of years, diseases caused by lack in nutrition (营养) were known to men. Some common nutritional diseases are beriberi (脚气), and scurvy (坏血病). In the 18th century, James Lind, a Scottish doctor, discovered a cure beriberi - whole rice. www.test99.com
A British scientist in 1906 showed that certain foods contain substances important to the growth and development of the body. In time these substances were called vitamins, meaning essential to life. Today there are 13 known vitamins. The human body produces only three of them. www.test99.com
Vitamins regulate (调节) the way the body changes food into energy and living tissues (组织). Each vitamins has a definite use and the lack of one vitamin can interfere with the function of another. The continued lack of one vitamin can cause a vitamin lack disease. www.test99.com
The best way for a healthy person to get vitamins is to eat a balanced diet. Eggs, milk, meat, vegetables, fruits, and whole - grain are the most common sources of the necessary variety of foods. www.test99.com
Vitamins help to speed up certain chemical reactions in the body. These reactions are essential for health. Without vitamins, these reactions would occur very slowly or not at all. www.test99.com
Truly vitamins have been correctly named - essential to good health and life. www.test99.com

Some psychologists (心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate (参加). It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music without bodies. www.test99.com
You surely are not surprised to be told that to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically (具体地), some part of their body. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (管弦乐队) even though knows where to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is an able conductor on the job. www.test99.com
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment form music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener feels himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body. www.test99.com
The muscles of the body actually participate (参加) in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced. www.test99.com

16. Some psychologists believe that thinking is performed not only by ones brain but also ones _________. www.test99.com

第三部分 阅读理解 (80分) www.test99.com
Passage 1 www.test99.com
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down. If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby (不结实的) and systems sluggish (缺乏活力的). Then the guilt feelings start: I must go on a diet, I must try to lose weight, I must get more fresh air and exerciser, I must stop smoking, I must try to keep fit. There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to minimise (减少到最低限度)the effects of these evils. www.test99.com
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and tennis in the local park, they are outnumbered (超过) a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way throughout the crowds to get to the best seats. www.test99.com
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive (竞争性的) sports, it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them. There are such activities for one person as cycling, walking and swimming. What often happens, though, is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. Of course you can be very thorough about exercise. Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets (小装置) of shiny spring steel, which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a regular programme of exercises. Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes. www.test99.com
It all strikes me as utterly boring and also time-consuming. Somebody suggested recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the jogging in the first place. The argument is false even if the facts are correct, out there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring. www.test99.com
Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. Now, this does not mean sleeping in the armchair of going dancing (which is a good form of exercise in itself). It has something to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, worries and so on. www.test99.com

21. If you want to keep fit, you should __________. www.test99.com
○A. go in for not only competitive sports, but also solitary ones www.test99.com
○B. go in for not only sports, but also enjoy your relaxation www.test99.com
○C. not put on too much weight www.test99.com
○D. not spend long hours sitting in your armchair www.test99.com

www.test99.com
22. The latter part of the last sentence of Para. 2 (… unless you count the effort… get to the best seats.) suggests that the author thinks that ________. www.test99.com

○B. best seats are difficult to secure www.test99.com
○C. being a spectator is not a way to keep fit www.test99.com

Passage 2 www.test99.com
Whether you eat to live or live to eat, food should help keep you well. In our modern world of processed and preserved foods, many nutritionists (营养学家) are suggesting that we can stay healthy with a well-balanced diet of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and not too much red meat, salt, or sugar. In fact, eating natural, unprocessed foods that are made from scratch, instead of artificial and junk (假的) foods, may not only keep you healthy, but save your money, too. www.test99.com
To stay healthy, you must also be careful to avoid food poisoning, a common, unpleasant, and often dangerous illness that affects one out of every six Americans each year. Food poisoning is often caused by salmonella bacteria (沙门化菌) in food, especially raw meats and dairy products. Heat usually kills the bacteria, and refrigeration keeps them from growing. So remember to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Also, be sure to keep your hands and cooking utensils clean so you dont transfer germs to the food while you are preparing it. www.test99.com
If you use canned food, always check the cans for leaks or puffiness. A puffed can could mean botulism, a fatal type of food poisoning that you cannot see or smell. Never taste any food that you suspect has spoiled. Instead, return any damaged cans or spoiled food to the grocery store, and the manager will refund (归还) your money. When using processed foods, be sure to read all the labels and check the ingredients and the freshness date before you buy or eat the food. www.test99.com
Eating is one of the joys of life. Being careful about what you put in your mouth can keep it that way. www.test99.com

26. According to most nutritionists, a diet of _________ is good for you. www.test99.com
○A. red meat and sweets www.test99.com

www.test99.com
33. E of Information between the Sensory (感观的) Neurons (神经) and the Brain. www.test99.com
The sensory neurons keep the brain informed of what is happening outside and inside the body through a variety of sensory pick - up units called receptors. Some of these, lying at or near the skin surface, may be specially sensitive to tissue damage (causing pain), or light contact (producing a touch sensation), or pressure, or temperature, either hot or cold. Other receptors on the tongue and in the nose respond to light of varying intensities, while receptors respond to color. Receptors in the ear respond to minute vibrations caused by sound waves striking the eardrum. Other receptors are deep in the walls of the intestines; when the intestines contract vigorously because of the presence of uncomfortable food or gas, these receptors transmit signals of pain. Still other receptors lodged in the muscles, fire off signals to the brain any time a muscle contracts or a joint moves or is subjected to added pressure or tension. www.test99.com
34. C of a fever; Fever is a condition in which the body temperature is high than normal. Usually the presence of fever is due to an infection, though there can be many other causes such as malignancies (恶性肿瘤)，brain injuries, poisoning reactions, reactions to vaccines, and diseases involving the central nervous system. Sometimes emotional action can bring on a fever. www.test99.com

www.test99.com
35. C of the Stomach; Carcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract. It is one of the leading causes of death. www.test99.com
The disease tends to occur in the age groups over 40, and to this type of cancer males are somewhat more likely than females. In many cases the early stage of growth of the cancer is usually not associated with definite symptoms. By the time symptoms occur to an intensity that makes the patient seek medical advice, the cancer is often found to have spread to other organs such as the liver. www.test99.com

Passage 1 www.test99.com
What can you do if you suffer from insomnia? Two things: you can eat certain foods that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep, and you can do certain things that are sleep-inducing. Here are some guidelines Dr. Schwartz has worked out after years of research. www.test99.com
a. If youve had a bad nights sleep, dont stay in bed later the next morning. www.test99.com
b. Dont go to bed earlier the next night. Stick to your usual bedtime and rising pattern. www.test99.com
c. Dont nap during the day. Naps cut down on night sleep-time. www.test99.com
d. Never lie awake in bed and sleeplessness, thus reinforcing your poor sleeping pattern. www.test99.com
e. When you get out of bed after an hour of sleeplessness, do something, but make sure its something dull. Read a book that doesnt interest your much. Never watch TV or listen to the radio. www.test99.com
f. Try sitting still in a chair in a darkened room; youll be surprised how fast youll get sleepy. www.test99.com
g. When you retire for the night, dont lie there rehashing (重讲) the mistakes of the day. Nor is this the time to plan your next days activities - you may become too anxious or over-stimulated. www.test99.com
h. Get as much exercise as possible, preferably early in the day. Exercise is a great sleep inducer. www.test99.com
i. Develop a bedtime routine: closing up the house and turning out the lights in a certain way, bathing, plumping (使鼓起) up the pillows. Sleep studies show that doing things in sequence - in a way that tends to calm and sooth - can help you achieve a good sleep pattern. www.test99.com
As for food intake to help you sleep, make sure that your daily diet is a balanced one and high in tryptophan (色氯酸), an amino (氨基的) acid found in certain foods. The body converts tryptophan to L- tryptophan and then to serotomin, a body chemical crucial to the sleep process. Foods rich in tryptophan are: whole or skim milk, eggs, cheese, meat, and peanuts, apples, bananas, cherries, dried prunes (梅脯), and watermelon. If you include foods high in tryptophan in your daily diet, and incorporate some of the sleep-inducing activities into your life, the chances are good that you will achieve a pattern of restful, soothing sleep. www.test99.com

36. Look over the list of guidelines in paragraph 1. Which of the following would Dr. Schwartz probably approve of doing if you cant sleep? www.test99.com

Passage 2 www.test99.com
Flu(which is short for influenza) is a highly contagious disease, the cause of which is a very tiny organism known as a virus. Several types of flu are recognized, depending on the type of virus that causes the disease. www.test99.com
When people catch flu, they often complain of a headache or a sore throat. They usually have a fever and their temperature rises from the normal 37C (98.6F) to about 39.5C (103F). Sometimes a person has a dry hacking (猛烈地干咳) cough and aching joints. www.test99.com
Today many doctors prescribe drugs that fight the disease. And scientists have also developed vaccines (疫苗) that help to prevent it. If the patient has proper treatment, and complete rest in bed, the virus is normally beaten within a week to ten days. www.test99.com
How does flu spread so quickly? When the infected person breathes out, sneezes or coughs, he gives out droplets (飞沫) of moisture in the breath from his mouth or nose. These remain in the air for some time. Flu viruses are present in these droplets. If a person sneezes in a crowed or poorly ventilated place, such as a lift, viruses can easily be carried from an infected person to a healthy person. This is known as droplet infection. The healthy person will breathe in the viruses given out by the infected person. www.test99.com
Flu can often cause complications in breathing, and general infection of the lung. With elderly and weak people, these added complications often yield serious results. The virus, if not properly treated, can weaken the body so that patient may develop more serious illnesses, such as pneumonia (肺炎) and bronchitis (支气管炎). www.test99.com
There are three main types of virus that cause flu, which are called type A, B and C. type A is the most powerful of the three, and undergoes minor changes in its genetic material every few years. The new form of the virus is called a strain (菌株). The new strain is not affected by the current vaccines. It is said to be resistant to them. So doctors must be continually producing new vaccines to combat the new strains of virus. www.test99.com
