12、 as they get older, but mens minds decline more than womens, according to the results of a worldwide survey.General differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while wom
13、en tend to excel at(擅长于) recalling information from their brains files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while o
14、thers saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, so theyre the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline, sa
15、id study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible i
16、n the given time, e.g. object usually colored gray, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories
17、 on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.26The underlined word in the second paragraph means_.Anatural Bgreat Cobvious Dabsolute27According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same catego

19、e given time.29One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _.Awomen live longer than men Bpeople surveyed are all old Cthe old men tested may not have shown such cognitive declineDpeople taking part in this test came from all over the world30The author aims to tell us th
20、at _.Awomens minds perform better than mensBmens minds decline more with ageCeveryone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older Da survey on humans mind decline was done recentlyBMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, sk
21、ating or skiing. It may be a game of some form - football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take
22、risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. Th
23、ere are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports,
24、 we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The
25、 mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by t
26、he age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.31. What movements are popular among
