25、. faxCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefits, including making your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage mental functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and mental functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it
26、 is not a major cause for poor mental performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University. Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to mental defects (缺陷)
27、. So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of l50 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills t
28、ests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their score
29、s into the average or above average for mental functions. Scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further. The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he has seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory a
30、nd attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way-eating healthier and doing more sports. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. 28. There is less research on overweight and mental functions because
31、researchers _.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen people s mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low mental abilityD. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions29. The result of Gunstads study shows that _.A. losing weight
32、has little effect on peoples memoryB. losing weight can improve peoples mental functionsC. overweight people are likely to have mental problemsD. overweight peoples abilities of concentration differ greatly30. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than ove
33、rweight people. B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight. C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D. Overweight people will get smarter through a balanced diet and exercise. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. L
34、osing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindDChildrens lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?Its difficult to look back on ones own childhood without a sense of nostalgia (怀旧). I
35、have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents rarely appear in these memories
36、, except as providers either of meals or of serious blame after some risky adventure. These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed sharply. Firstly, families are smaller. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isnt time
37、to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. This is due to the fact that
38、parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves. Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have taken the place of the board games an
39、d more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony (讽刺) is that so many ways of playing games are called “communication”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness. Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood
40、than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same. 32. What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph? A. To get peoples attention and lead in the topic. B. To gather peoples opinions on childhood. C. To show who the passage i
41、s written for. D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.33. Which is NOT a reason for the changes? A. Families are smaller today. B. Parents worried too much about their children. C. Toys can be played by children alone at home. D. Its too dangerous to play outside.34. What has the write
42、r focused on in the fourth paragraph? A. Young people today shouldnt play electronic games. B. Some games that young people play today arent really good. C. Computer and video games have replaced the board games. D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.35. The writers attitude t
43、owards the childhood changing is _ . A. supportiveB. unconcernedC. objectiveD. positive第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 A puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like
44、 us, though, your puppy must have enough nutrition (营养) to make certain that itll have a long and healthy life. 36 You might ask yourself whats the best for your new pet with various food on the market in attractive packaging (包装) . Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the de
45、velopment of their teeth. 37 Contrary to the belief of many first-time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium (钙), protein, and vitamin levels. 38 In addition, a high intake of calcium is connected with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have
46、a “small-breed” puppy, you can buy that kind of food. It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy often, as it may make your puppy become selective about food. 39 Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppys diet. Young
47、puppies should be fed three times a day. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes. 40 If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times, he may become overweight and have
48、 health problems as an adult. A. Pick up the dish with the remaining food.B. Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.C. Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.D. It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.E. A further benefit is that it is less expensi
49、ve than the canned food.F. One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive (消化) organs.G. Its good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节: 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满 分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。“My wallet! W
