3.A strong memory depends on the health and vitality (活力) of your brain.They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks,but when it comes to the brain,scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true.(36)GGive your brain a workout.Memory,like muscular strength,requires you to"use it or lose it".The more you work out your brain,the better you'll be able to process and remember information.(37)FDon't skip the physical exercise.While mental exercise is important for brain health,that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat.Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp.It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep.There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best.(38)EKeep stress in check.Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies.Over time,stress destroys brain cells.Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh.(39)CThat holds true for the brain and the memory,as well as the body.Unlike emotional responses,which are limited to specific areas of the brain,laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.(40)A
Just as the body needs fuel,so does the brain.You probably already know that a diet based on fruits,vegetables,whole grains,"healthy"fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits,but such a diet can also improve memory.For brain health,though,it's not just what you eat-it's also what you don't eat.

A.Eat a brain-boosting diet.
B.Play games with memory.
C.Laughter is the best medicine.
D.But oversleeping is not good for your brain.
E.Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!
F.You have to shake things up from time to time!
G.The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

分析 文章大意:人們常常認為記憶力隨著年齡的變老而衰退,但是生理學研究表明,隨著年齡的增長,大腦的記憶力是可以提高的.

解答 36.G 根據(jù)該空格前一句說"you can't teach an old new tricks"意思是說"老年人很難適應(yīng)新事物",而后面又說科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)這種說法是不對的,可推斷此處說就是其實人腦會改變的.結(jié)合各個選項的意思,可知G正確.
37.F 根據(jù)前一句說"The more you work out your brain,the better you'll be able to process and remember information",結(jié)合各個選項的意思,故可選F.
38.E 根據(jù)本段講述的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于睡眠的,結(jié)合各選項意思,故E為正確答案.
39.C 根據(jù)該空格后一句中的laugh一詞,結(jié)合各個選項的意思,可知C選項中的Laughter is the best medicine,故選C.
40.A 根據(jù)該空格后一句說大腦和身體一樣都需要能量.而A選項就是講這個話題的,故可知A為正確選項.

點評 "七選五"這樣的題型要求學生根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯、上下文的內(nèi)容選出相應(yīng)的五句話填入空白處將文章補充完整.主要目的在于"考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握."做題時需要明白整篇文章的主旨,文章整體的思路和每一段的用意以及作者寫作的意圖.花些時間理清段落之間和句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系也有助于幫助學生把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)和思路.

4.When international aid is given,steps must be taken to ensure (確保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended.The way to achieve this may not be simple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organiztion(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid.Here however rises the problem of costs.Also tied with this is time.Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
  More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster,it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.A common proverb says,"Give me a fish and I eat for day,teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime."If we follow this wise saying,it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example,a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.Even small country is able to help less developed nations.Sometimes what is take for granted,like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school,could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems.It does not cost much to share such simple things.Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site.They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves.Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
  Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses.Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned,there is also the build-up of friendships to consider.Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies.However,in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

61.According to the author,how could international aid reach the victims in time?C.
A.By solving the cost problems
B.By solving the transportation problems
C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
62.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?C.
A.Providing food is vital
B.Learning to fish is helpful
C.Teaching skills is essential
D.Looking after others is important.
63.The second paragraph is developed mainlyA.
A.by example B.by process C.by comparison D.by contrast
64.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?D.
A.A medical team.    B.An exchange program.
C.A water plant.     D.Financial support.
65.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A.
A.It is facing difficulties.
B.It is unnecessary during normal times
C.It should be given in the form of materials
D.It has gained support developed countries.

7.As sea levels climb,even Washington,D.C.could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide.
Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas.But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather.Among them is Maryland's capital Annapolis.Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor.Sometimes water covers roads in Atlantic City,N.J.Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood.
All are suffering from this trend-----normal high tides surpass(超過) a rising sea level
Sea levels have climbed,on average,about 20centimeters(8inches) over the past 135years.And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas,notes William Sweet,an oceanographer.
Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45tide gauges(計量表) along the US coasts.These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall.From these data,Sweet's team calculated the number of"troublesome floods"in various coastal cities.These floods,Sweet explains,typically occur when water level is about 30centimeters(1foot) above the historic level of the highest tides.In June 2014,the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.
In Charleston,S.C,from 1957to 1963,the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6days per year.Bur from 2007 to 2013,the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times.Annapolis city was even more serious.From 1957to 1963,troublesome floods were roughly 3.8days per year.From 2007to 2013,the average was 10times higher---39.3days a year.
"Over the next few decades,climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,"Sweet says."So today's flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent."
28.What is Paragraph 2mainly developed by?A
A.Using examples.
B.Analyzing causes.
C.Making comparisons.
D.Following time order.
29.Why are more flooding problems caused?B
A.Because the river levels have been climbing.
B.Because climate has changed over the years.
C.Because the weather conditions are not stable.
D.Because people are living too close to harbors.
30.What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 5?A
A.There has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding evevts.
B.The changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.
C.The floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1foot.
D.The number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.
31.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Sweet's team   
B.A flood research.
C.The US East Coast.
D.American oceanographers.
