We can slow down aging. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. His solution is a herbal medicine（草藥）to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “Shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney（腎臟）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the Shen system slows the aging process, says a report in the Telegraph newspaper. We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness, wrinkles and so on. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young? This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
【小題1】How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?

A．By studying Western medicine.
B．By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C．By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
D．By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
【小題2】What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A．Medical treatment.

科目：高中英語 來源：江西省上饒市2012屆高三第二次模擬考試英語試題 題型：050

閱讀理解，閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C、D中，選出最佳選項。

　　Canadian scientists have found a method to help aging people get less forgetful by improving their cognitive(認知)abilities through well-designed training．Everyone experiences some degree of memory loss and cognitive decline as they get older．The decline usually becomes noticeable after 50, when people may find it slightly more difficult to focus on tasks, organize everyday jobs and remember how to do things in the right order．

　　A team of psychologists in Toronto created a strategy of cognitive training to help people preserve these abilities．“Our primary emphasis was on improving the use of general strategic abilities because they are particularly weak to the aging process, ”Dr．Donald Stuss, director of the study, said in a press release．The team examined 49 healthy older adults with normal cognitive decline．All of the participants were between the ages of 71 and 87．Over the course of 12 weeks, psychologists taught them methods to improve their strategic abilities．Afterwards, researchers saw a 15 to 40 percent improvement in the memories of all participants．“Over a period of six months their improvement not only maintained, but increased, ”said Dr．Gordon Winocur, coordinator of the study．The 12-week course was broken up into three four-week sections, focusing on a different skill involved in strategic abilities：memory, goal management and psychosocial function．

　　The memory training emphasized how to preserve and recover information, while goal management focused on methods to lower the chance of memory slips．Psychosocial training was aimed at increasing the participants’ confidence in their mental abilities．

　　“We wanted to develop a cognitive training program that would produce improvement over a relatively short period of time, so participants could benefit more on that while they’re still functional and slow down the rate of decline, ”said Winocur．“If we can work with people in the early stages of cognitive decline, then we can slow down the rate of this decline and help them maintain a higher level of function for a longer period of time．”

(1)

What can be a suitable title for the passage?

[　　]

(4)

How many strategic abilities do the psychologists mainly focus on? ________．

[　　]

A．

Two．

B．

Three．

C．

Four．

D．

Five．

(5)

From what Winocur said in the last paragraph, we can learn that ________．

A．
