lt, they do not only look younger and slimmer, but feel better. Because of increased physical fitness, life expectance in the nation has risen to seventy-three years, with fewer people suffering from heart disease, the nation's number one killer.

Jogging ( 慢跑 ), the easiest and cheapest way of improving the body, keeps over 30million people of all ages on the run. For the price of a good pair of running shoes, anyone anywhere can join the race.

Dieting, too, has become a national  pastime. Promoters of diets that eliminate eating one thing or another, such as fats or carbohydrates ( 碳水化合物 ), promise as much as 20- pound weight losses within two weeks. Books describing such amazing diets always head up ( 居……之首 )the best-seller lists because people who are overweight want to lose weight quickly and easily.

Nevertheless, jogging and dieting, carried to extremes, can be harmful. Many confused joggers overdo and finally suffer from ankle and foot damage. Dieting, fortunately, becomes only a temporary means for shedding a few  pounds while the body lose the balanced nutrition ( 營(yíng)養(yǎng) )it requires, so most dieters cannot keep on diets. Above all, common sense should be the keystone for any dieting and exercise plan.

6.The main idea of this passage is that___________ .

       A. both jogging and dieting can improve your health

       B. exercise and improved diet has raised the American's life expectance

       C. people, who jog and diet wisely, will be healthier than those who do not

6---9    CDBC  


解析:

本文講的是節(jié)食與運(yùn)動(dòng)。

6.C. 主旨大意題。慢跑和節(jié)食能使身體健康 , 但不注意方法 , 過(guò)分進(jìn)行慢跑和節(jié)食 , 會(huì)帶來(lái)身體損傷。在短文結(jié)尾句中明確提出 :( 慢跑和節(jié)食的 ) 某些常識(shí)很關(guān)鍵。

7.D. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一、二段內(nèi)容可看出 " 在美國(guó)慢跑和節(jié)食比以往任何時(shí)候都要流行"。

8.B. 推理推斷題。根據(jù)短文的 "they do not only look younger and slimmer, but feel better."一句可推斷出答案。 A 項(xiàng)內(nèi)容是短文中已明確表示出來(lái)了 , 不符題意。

9.C. 主旨大意題。這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有一定的干擾性 ,A 項(xiàng)純解說(shuō)這兩項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng) ;B 、D 項(xiàng)沒(méi)有包括鍛煉、節(jié)食兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容 , 不全面。 C 項(xiàng)表示 " 身體健康 ", 短文就是圍繞這一主題進(jìn)行闡述的。

Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.

    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning<推論；說(shuō)服> and spatial <空間的>skills), while women tend to excel (擅長(zhǎng)) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).

    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.

    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive（認(rèn)知的；認(rèn)識(shí)的） decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.

    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated（旋轉(zhuǎn)的） form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范疇) as possible in the given time, e.g.  "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated(占有主導(dǎo)地位的) by women.

    Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders（性別）, women showed obviously less decline than men overall（全部地）.

The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________.

   A. natural     B. great C. obvious D. absolute

According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category?

   A. cloud   B. sheep C. trees D. goose

Which of the following statements is true according the article?

   A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.

   B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names.

   C. Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.

   D. Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.

One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _________.

   A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline

   B. people surveyed are all old

   C. people taking part in this test came from all over the world   D. women live longer than men

The author aims to tell us that __________.

   A. women’s minds perform better than men’s

   B. men’s minds decline more with age

   C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older

D. a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently
