【题目】Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.【1】Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 【2】

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.【3】Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 【4】

3. Learn something new

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.【5】Or go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】A

【3】E

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇广告类文章。主要介绍了几种方法来让你的大脑保持敏捷灵活。

【1】F考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是：每个人都很健忘，但是随着我们慢慢变老，我们开始感觉大脑好像很迟缓了，并且这样的情况很让人心烦？空后一句的意思是：看看下面这些值得一时的建议吧。所以选F，这里这是一个过渡句，承上启下（幸运的是，研究表明你可以做很多事来预防这样的时刻。）承上启下，与前后一致

【2】A考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的叙述我们可以看出，这里是在说有目标，向未来看的人对于预防老年痴呆是很有好处的。再结合本段的最后一句话“In other words, keep your brain looking forward” 可知，这里是在建议我们向前看。所以选择答案A，聚焦未来，与文意相符。

【3】E考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到研究表明有计划可以降低一般得老年痴呆症的几率，空后提到：一些类似于和朋友约每周喝咖啡真养的小事儿就可以。所以选E项（如果你的计划里没有改变生活的事情也别担心。）与后文的叙述一致。

【4】G考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到，身体锻炼能够产生对大脑好的化学物质。所以选G（换句话说，当你照顾身体的时候，你就是在照顾你的大脑。）前后意思一致。

【5】C考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的中心内容，和空前提到：对于大脑最好的就是你学一些新的东西并且同时身体保持活跃。空后提到：和朋友学习园艺。可知，选C（可以是想跳舞这样的事情。）与前后文意思一致。

考点：七选五

I smiled a big smile and it 【1】(work)a little, really.

Everyone gets【2】 (frustrate)sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came 【3】 a sentence in the Bible, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.” It suddenly struck me, “【4】(worry)about a problem doesn’t help. Why not just 【5】(give)a big smile and face up to the trouble?”

Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that【6】 (laugh)is better than tears and anger. I 【7】 (convince)that there’s something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.

Remember, whenever you’re faced with a setback, whenever you’ve been treated【8】(fair), all【9】 matters is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, 【10】it will shine on you.

【题目】Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse. And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure.

My friend Velma, a teacher for more than 30 years, has been retired for some time now, but that doesn’t stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School,located on her family’s

California farm. The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as apple barn. Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse.

Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma’s late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep

Velma busy in retirement. No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled（重装）on its new site. The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered（斜接的）corners.

After the relocation, Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks. They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Perhaps the school’s most cherished souvenir is the diploma of student Hettie Essig, who graduated on June 30, 1904. Hettie’s daughter, Flora, presented Velma with the precious keepsake.

Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days. She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone by. Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson.

【1】The Englewood School was originally built as __________.

A. a man’ s house B. a schoolhouse

C. a restroom D. an apple barn

【2】Which word can best describe the school’s being relocated?

A. Inspiring B. Refreshing

C. fashionable D. Challenging

【3】What does the underlined part “the precious keepsake” in Para.4 mean?

A. The school’s original supplies

B. The collection of schoolbooks

C. The oldest schoolbook

D. The diploma of Hettie Essig.

【4】Which can serve as the best title of the passage?

A. The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse

B. A Mysterious Building with a Long History

C. A Historic One-room Schoolhouse

D. A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings

【题目】Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Husbands and wives use doghouse when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for forgetting their wedding anniversary (周年纪念). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse and treats him badly. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.

Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

【1】The underlined expression “work like a dog” in Paragraph 2 means _______.

A. be hard-working B. have an unhappy life

C. compete for the same things D. become successful

【2】If a man comes home late, his wife might say angrily, “______________”.

A. it will rain cats and dogs B. every dog has its day

C. you lead a dog’s life D. you are in the doghouse

【3】“Leave things untouched” has the same meaning as “____________”.

A. become a sick dog B. teach an old dog new tricks\

C. let sleeping dogs lie D. make people dog-tired

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Expressions in American culture. B. Some expressions with the word dog.

C. A good way to learn English well. D. Dogs’ influence on American culture.
