二、阅读理解

根据短文内容从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最合适的答案填空，并在答题卡上将所选答案的字母涂黑。（本大题共15小题，每小题3分，共45分） Passage 1 Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows old. But this is not true, according to Dr. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She had studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years

1

old.as Dr. Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected. However, there was some decline in their psychomotor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr. Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory’ is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble with hearing, or poor vision, or in lack of attention, or was trying to learn the new things at too fast a pace. In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to ole age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.

11. According to Dr. Jarvik’s studies, middle-aged and older persons would expect to___________. A. lose no intellectual ability B. lose some reasoning ability C. lose some learning ability D. learn fewer new things 12. Mental decay due to aging is ___________. A. much more common than most people believe B. a fact that everybody knows C. only true of those over sixty D. much less common than most people realize

13. A long term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that___________. A. their minds became a bit more active as they grew older B. memory was not as good as once it had been C. could not reason as fast as they used to D. they lost a little ability to reason over the years

14. According to the passage, all the following are cause of “incomplete learning” EXCEPT___________. A. speed reading B. poor hearing C. bad eyesight D. lack of attention 15. What we call mental decay is usually a sign of ___________. A. old age B. a low-spirited state C .a worsening state of bealth D. nervous tension

Passage 2

First aid is the kind of medical care given to a victim of an accident or a sudden injury before trained medical help can arrive. First aid treatments are generally easy to carry out. They can be taught to people of all ages. Learning them is important. Knowing how to treat someone in an emergency can mean the difference between life and death.

Passage 3

Parents with an adopted (收养的) child wonder whether, when and how to tell their child that he or she is adopted. They also want to know if there are special problems for an adopted child.

Child psychiatrists (精冲病学家) recommend that the child be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents. Children should be told about their adoption in a way that they can understand. There are two different views on when a child should be told about the adoption. Many experts believe the child should be told at the earliest age as possible. This approach provides the child an early opportunity to accept and integrate the concept of being “adopted”. Other experts believe that telling a child too early may confuse the young child who can’t really understand the matter. These experts advise waiting until the child is older. In either case, children should learn of their adoption from the adoptive parents. This helps give the message that adoption is good and that the child can trust the parents. If the child first learns about the adoption intentionally or accidentally from someone other than parents, the child may feel angry and does not trust the parents. and may view the adoption as bad or shameful because it was kept as a secret.

Adopted children will want to take about their adoption and parents should encourage this process. Several excellent children’s story books are available in bookstores which help parents tell the child about being adopted.

A. be told the truth once he or she is adopted B. informed of the fact that he or she is adopted as early as possible C. be told the truth by the adoptive parents themselves D. always be kept in the dark aboLl1 the fact that he or she is adopted

23. What will happen if the adopted children learn the fact through channels other than the adoptive parents? A. They will never trust the adoption parents again. B. They will probably think that the adoptive parents keep it as a secret due to some good reasons. C. They will leave the adoptive parents and prefer to be homeless. D. They certainly will be annoyed.

24. After knowing that they are adopted, the children have a desire to___________. A. learn more about their adoption from the adoptive parents B. read more children's story books about adoption C. stay at home because they think the adoption is shameful or bad D. talk about it with other people such as neighbors
