27、n those who are inactive. Scientists also found that one of the most important parts of their brains was 12 per cent larger than those of unfit youngsters. They believe that _44_ children to take exercise from a very young age could help them do better at school later. Researchers from the Universit
28、y of Illinois, in the U. S. , studied the brains of 49 children aged nine and ten using a magnetic resonance _45_ scan, a technique which provides very detailed pictures of organs and tissues in the body. They also tested the _46_ levels of the children by making them run on a treadmill. The scienti
29、sts found that the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain _47_ for memory and learning, was around 12 per cent larger in the fitter youngsters.

40、on BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A）Parents, our
41、 first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives. However, doesnt it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? Were less likely to listen to them and take their suggestionswe even rebel against them. Why? It may be the so-called generation gap. A ge
42、neration gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, dont understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them. The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own deci
43、sions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside. Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and
44、less with her mother since she started senior high school. She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world, Zhang said. Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, How was your last exam? or Have you made any progress in physics? To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so sh
45、e always tries to ignore them and answers indifferently. Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesnt completely understand me, Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence. The gener
46、ation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things. When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school a very serio
47、us situation for the whole family. 65. Which of the following is not included in article?A. The causes of generation gap.B. The effects of generation gap. C. One example of generation gap.D. Ways of narrowing generation gap. 66. Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according t
48、o the passage?A. Modern society changing very fast. B. Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children. C. Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other. D. Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents. 67. Which of the following word has the closet meaning to th
49、e underlined word indifferently?A. similarlyB. uninterestedlyC. attentivelyD. seriously68. In the view of the author, _.A. parents should allow their children more freedomB. parents and children should not stay togetherC. the younger generation should value the older generationD. academic records ar

57、reform has already been judged a great success in many statesat least in getting people off welfare. Its estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994. In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in t
58、he past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percenttwice the national average, For advocates（代言人） for the poor, thats an indication that much more needs to be done. More people are getting jobs, but its not maki
59、ng their lives any better, says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington. A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but th
60、at average income for these households actually went down. But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory. Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin（毒素） that was poisoning the family, says Robert
61、 Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important. Mr. Rector and others argued that once the habit of dependency is cracked, then the country can make other policy chang
62、es aimed at improving living standards. 72. Why dont people enjoy their better lives when they get jobs?A. Because they are used to relying on welfare to make livings.B. Because the cost of living is higher than before. C. Because many families are below average income. D. Because their wages are ve
63、ry low. 73. From the passage we know that the reconstruction of_ is the core of the reform. A. government aidsB. work ethicC. welfare fundsD. moral awareness74. From the example of the Athens County, we know great efforts should be done for the poor to _.A. improve their living standardsB. to help t
64、hem be employedC. to get them off welfareD. to increase their wage75. From the passage, it can be inferred that the author _. A. is completely certain about the success of welfare reformB. thinks that welfare reform has done little good for the poorC. insists welfare reform has increased the governm
65、ents burdenD. considers welfare reform fundamentally successfulSection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from AF for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. (F=AB)A. The results explained why time passes quickly when we are dealing
66、 with more tasksB. Time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. C. Volunteers were told to finish three different tasks in the study. D. There are areas of the brain having the function of estimating time. E. Concentrating on time passing is probably a more accurate perception of
67、 realityF. Focusing on the duration or the color the of image makes trips speed.76. Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain change depending on how we focus on a task. Concentrating on time passing, as we do when bored, will trigger brain activity which will make it seem as though th
68、e clock is ticking more slowly. 77. In the study, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity using MRI scans. Volunteers were given a variety of tasks. In one they were told to concentrate simply on the duration of an image, in another they were asked to focus on
69、 the color, and in a third they were asked to concentrate on both duration and color. 78. The results showed that a network of brain regions was activated when more subjects were paid attention to duration. It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, then it has to sp
70、read its resources thinly, and pays less heed（注意）to time passing. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. 79. However, if the brain is not stimulated in this way, it concentrates its full energies on monitoring the passing of time. This may make time seem to dr
71、ag, but in fact the researchers found that the more volunteers concentrated on the duration of the images, the more accurate were their estimates of its duration. 80. Lead researcher Dr Jennifer Coull said many of the areas of the brain involved in estimating time were the same that played a key rol
72、e in controlling movement, and preparing for action. She said this overlap suggests that the brain may make sense of time as intervals between movements, in much the same way as a musician marks time with his foot, or an athlete anticipates the sound of a starters pistol（手枪）.
