27、ng of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at
28、a relatively early age and how the process of aging could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measure
29、ments of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual o
30、n emotional faculties (功能 ). Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in sixty - and seventy - year - old. Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associate
31、d with age using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in. people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed, by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in governme
32、nt offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from thinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells needed. “The best way to mai
33、ntain good blood circulation is through using the brain.“ he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.“ 46 The team of doctors wanted to find out （ A） why certain people are aging sooner than others （ B） how to make people live longer （ C） the size of certain peo
34、ples brains （ D） which people are most intelligent 47 On what are their research findings based? （ A） A survey of farmers in northern Japan. （ B） Tests performed on a thousand old people. （ C） The study of brain volumes of different people. （ D） The latest development of computer technology. 48 The
35、doctors test show that _. （ A） our brains shrink as we grow older （ B） sixty - year - olds have better brains than thirty - year - olds （ C） the front - section of the brain does not shrink （ D） some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples 49 The word “subjects“ in paragraph 4 means _

37、istants 50 The basic flag of the United States is one of the worlds oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older. During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European
38、nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial (殖民的 ) and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies. The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress (国会 ) on June 14, 1
39、777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Uni
40、on, Vermont and Kentucky. By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became app.arent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by
41、one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flagmakers desire. The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects
42、the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the nationals flag. Among them are the presidents and vice -president
43、s flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. 51 Why were only the flags of various European nations flown over the land, during the discovery and settlement period? （ A） Because the flags were older than the national flag of th
44、e U. S. （ B） Because the land was divided by these nations. （ C） Because there was no universal flag over the land. （ D） We dont know from the passage. 52 The first national flags of the United States _. （ A） represented the 13 colonies which won independence in 1776 （ B） were flown in American colo
45、nies in 1776 （ C） were flown in American colonies in 1795 （ D） gave representation to Congress 53 Where the stars were placed on the national flag in 1818 and 1912? （ A） Congress. （ B） The president. （ C） The government. （ D） The flagmaker. 54 How many states entered the Union between 1818 and 1912?
46、 （ A） 30. （ B） 28. （ C） 13 （ D） 8 55 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） Before 1959 the flag had been changed 25 times. （ B） Each federal department has its own official flag. （ C） The national flag of the U. S. had 26 stars on it after admission of Hawaii into the Uni
47、on in 1959. （ D） In 1912, there had been 48 states in the Union. 55 Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds while during the fifteenth century the term“ reading“ undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth
48、century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading
49、for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves, changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such
