13、swer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.(30%)Passage 1Researchers disagree whether the “use it or lose it” philosophy holds for cognitive aging, but there is one evidence thatkeeping mentally active can slow age-related declines.At Pennsylvania State University, Sherry Willis and her husband

14、, K. Warner Schaie, have studied 5,000 people, somesince 1956. People lucky enough to avoid chronic diseases may also fare better in intellectual function, they find,perhaps because chronic diseases can restrict lifestyle and reduce mental stimulation. Similarly, those lucky enough tobe relatively a

15、ffluent also fare better, perhaps because money can buy intellectually stimulating things like travel.Education helps, too, researchers say because in instills the conviction that you can always learn something new. TheSchaie-Willis team also has some other observations. Being in a stable marriage w

16、ith a stimulating spouse, they say,helps maintain intellectual vigor.Flexibility counts too. People who stay mentally vibrant are often those who do not insist that”they must do thingstoday as they did before” Schaie says. In neuropsychological terms,the ability to see problems in new ways often yie

17、ldshigher scores on tests of mental function. And people satisfied with life also stay more mentally fit, he says.If you find your mental skills sagging, consider working on specific deficits. When Willis gave 5-hour tutorials oninductive reasoning or spatial skills to about 200 people whose skills

18、had declined in the previous 14 years, 40 percentregained lost abilities. That advantage held up seven years late when they were retested.Other ways to stay sharp, Schaie says, are doing jigsaw puzzles to hone visual-spatial skills, working crossword puzzlesfor verbal skills, playing bridge for memo

19、ry and simply matching wits at home with players on TV game shows.Finally , remember this. Even though you may lose some mental skills with normal aging, you also gain in one key area:wisdom. The growth of wisdom continues throughout the 40s, 50s and even 60s.21.In the passage, the author mainly dis

20、cuss_.A.the role mental stimulation in preventing mental agingB.gradual loss of mental skills with normal agingC.the relationship between mental function and spatial skillsD.effective ways to keep intellectual vigor22.The word “it” in the saying “use it or lose it” (paragraph 1) refer to_.A. brain p

23、h life experienceB. wisdom may still grow even when the process of mental aging startedC. wisdom is superior in importance to mental skills such as inductive reasoning and spatial skillsD. wisdom makes up an important part of brain powerPassage 2Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a

24、man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needssomething. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it andbuy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.

25、If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. Allbeing well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyonessatisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doe

26、s not have what he want, or does not have exactly what hewants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else-he offers the nearest hecan to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly ( ); he does so with skilland polish, “

27、I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be thecolour you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is, “This is the right colourand may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by

28、trying it on.”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Hershopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having alook round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets gr

29、eat store ( , ) by what the sales woman tellsher, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought offinding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense ofvalue when they buy clot

30、hes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful ofdresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, beforeselecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoya

31、ble one. Most dress shopsprovide chairs for the wanting husbands.26. When a man is buying clothes,_.A. he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityB. he chooses things that others recommendC. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsD. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear27. What do men care about the fit of new cl
