25、 there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help, too. New research with older people
26、suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didnt exercise. Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember, and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who
27、dont. Their brain cells also make more connections. Neuroscientists from the University at Urbana-Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for people. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77, after each person walked 1 mile. Then, participants looked at ar
28、rows on a computer screen and had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing. Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, and their answers were just as accurate as their less-fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more bloo
29、d flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions. In a second study, 15 elderly people who completed a 6-month aerobic-training course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning exercises for the same amount of time
30、. So, even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news for your grandparents. The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people havent been studied yet. Still, it cant hurt to take occasional study breaks and go for a walk or run around wit
31、h your friends. You might even do better in school. Whatever you do, though, dont try to read and walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself! 31 Walking regularly helps elderly people_. （ A） lose weight. （ B） become happier （ C） concentrate better. （ D） look younger 32 After taking exe
32、rcise for a few weeks, the mice were found to have_. （ A） higher blood pressure （ B） faster heartbeat （ C） more blood flow to the brain （ D） better appearance 33 The first study on 41 elderly people found_. （ A） the less-fit participants did arrow tasks faster （ B） the fitter participants did arrow
33、tasks faster （ C） the less-fit participants gave more accurate answers （ D） the fitter participants gave more accurate answers 34 It can be good for health when one takes a walk every 2 or 3 days for at least_. （ A） 3 minutes （ B） 45 minutes （ C） 30 minutes （ D） 10 minutes 35 It is suggested in the
34、last paragraph that people should_. （ A） run around once a week （ B） not read and walk at the same time （ C） go for a walk every day （ D） not hurt their friends while exercising 35 The comprehension passages on this course are designed to help you increase your speed. A higher reading rate, with no
35、loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook but you can ra
36、ise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gain will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with. The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. If you get to th
37、e point where you can read books of average difficulty at between 40 and 50 w. p. m. with 70% or more comprehension, you will be doing quite well, though of course any further improvement of speed with comprehension will be a good thing. When you practice reading with passages shorter than book leng
38、th, do not try to take in each word separately, one after the other. It is much more difficult to grasp the broad theme of the passage this way, and you will also get stuck on individual words which may not be absolutely essential to a general understanding of the passage. It is a good idea to skim
39、through the passage very quickly first (say 500 words in a minute or so) to get the general idea of each paragraph. Titles, paragraph headings and emphasized words (underlined or in italics) can be a great help in getting this skeleton outline of the passage. 36 Provided there is no loss understandi
40、ng, a higher reading speed will help in_. （ A） English （ B） physics （ C） other subjects as well as English （ D） economics 37 You would expect to read a physics textbook_. （ A） at the same speed as you read a funny story （ B） much more rapidly than a newspaper （ C） as slowly as you read Austens novel
41、 Pride and Prejudice （ D） much more slowly than a newspaper 38 To do the most effective reading, you should_. （ A） try every possible means to increase your reading rate （ B） above all improve your comprehension of the text （ C） hunt for whatever is implied in the reading material （ D） increase your
42、 reading speed and improve your understanding 39 The author suggests that you should not read passages word by word because_. （ A） it is not necessary to do so （ B） it might simply slow down your reading speed （ C） it might be more difficult to catch the general idea of the passages （ D） it will res
43、ult in misunderstanding 40 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） You are expected to read various kinds of materials at the same rate. （ B） A great deal of specialized knowledge is required to read books of general interest. （ C） Titles, introduction and paragraph
44、heading are of great help for grasping the overview of the text. （ D） It is less likely that you can raise your average reading rate over the whole range of materials you wish to cover within a short time. 40 Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything
45、from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States, people spent over US $2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998. This figure is expected to reach US $ 11 billion by the year 2004. People c
46、an shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet.

47、puter software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.
