Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with
22、ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each bank from a list of choices given in a word blank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on An
23、swer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage. Physical activity does the body good, and theres growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report
24、that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own, 26to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a 27 of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic28, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, 29 i
25、n the basic subjects of math, English and reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 30 on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from
26、study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S. 31 in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be 32 exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood 33 to
27、the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are 34 to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve 35 and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when theyre running around, they may actually be exerci
28、sing their brains as well.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。A) attendanceB) consequentlyC) currentD) depressingE) droppingF) essentialG) feasibleH) flowI) moodJ) mutuallyK) particularlyL) performanceM) reviewN) surviveO) tendSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements a

30、2.Finding the Right Homeand Contentment, TooA When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facilitya moment few parents or children approach without fearwhat you would like is to have everything made clear.B Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing
31、 home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing ones homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.C I am about to make things more complicated by sugges
32、ting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the qual
33、ity of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.D The most
34、recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes (known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health
35、Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.E “We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an ass
36、ociate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumptiondont families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they cant?F In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than
37、 those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.G But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents
38、 responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristicshow healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived th
39、ere also proved significant.H An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who bad input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as we
40、ll in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You cant just say, Lets put this person in a residential care home instead of a nur
41、sing homeshe will be much better off, ” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”I Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, Univers
42、ity of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variablesthe facilitys type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood washad no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered m
43、ost was the residents physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened once they were there.J As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating syste
44、m that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-sta
45、r ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)K Before we collectively tear our hair outhow are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of North Carolina：“In a way
46、, that could be liberating for families.”L Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they dont have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congress
47、ional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy,” Dr. Sloane said. And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.M We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this placeit is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived,
