Section A (15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Common dietary advice encourages us to eat whole food and avoid processed ones. But there is no clear understanding of what makes a food ultra-processed or how these foods affect our health. Broadly labeling ultra-processed foods as bad could not only lead us to ____31____other potential factors contributing to obesity, but may create a new set of unconscious health consequences.
For decades, public health experts have raised the alarm about ultra-processed foods, blaming them for ____32____increases in obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Already, two countries-Canada and Brazil have advice on____33____ultra-processed foods in their national dietary guidelines. More countries, including the US and Australia, are debating whether to____34____their practice. However, there are too many unknowns to justify such sweeping____35____,according to nutrition researchers at a conference hosted by the American Society for Nutrition in Boston on 23 July.
Although it is often repeated that ultra-processed foods are bad for us, there is no universal____36____of such products. The most widely used description is based on the NOVA food classification system, which says a food is ultra-processed if it uses____37____,often derived from other foods, to “imitate or enhance the sensory qualities of foods or to disguise unpalatable (难吃的) aspects of the final product". NOVA also states that “a multitude of sequences or____38____is used to combine the usually many ingredients" and these processes can’t be done at home.
This definition is ____39____and unclear, says Lauren O’Connor at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), who participated in the panel. As such, it can be difficult to_____40_____foods according to the NOVA system. What’s more, it is hard to be sure how-or if-ultra-processed foods are harmful to health.
Mixing foods together like this also make people_____41_____to capture the small impacts some of them have on health. Research shows that foods often categorized as ultra-processed ones can contribute key_____42_____to people’s diets. Earlier this year, O’Connor and her colleagues showed that, of 1,140 children aged between 6 and 23 months old in the US, 75 per cent of their iron intake and 48 per cent of their zinc intake, on average, came from foods considered ultra-processed by NOVA. “One of the biggest_____43_____of some ultra-processed foods is strengthening micronutrients,” says O’Connor. This means blanket guidance to avoid ultra-processed foods could lead to nutrient_____44_____and that ultra-processed food can form part of a healthy diet.
“There is still a lot that we don’t know about ultra-processed foods,” says O’Connor. “We have to be really_____45_____of that because we don’t want to look down upon any foods.

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
I was putting on my boots just now in what the novelists call “a brown study.” There was no urgent reason for putting on my boots. I was not going out, and my slippers were much more comfortable. But something had to be done. I wanted a subject for an article. Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject. It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.
But what has this to do with putting on my boots? It is a reasonable question and I will tell you. For an hour I had paced my room in my slippers in search of a subject. I had looked out of the window over the sunlit valley, and watched the smoke of a distant train disappearing towards the west. I had sharpened every pencil I had on me with great care. But the more I sharpened my pencils, the more anxious I grew about the theme for an article.
It was at this moment that I remembered my boots. The act of bending my body changed the current of the blood. You saw things in a new light. So I fetched my boots and sat down to put them on.
The thing worked like a charm. For in my preoccupied condition I picked up my right boot first. Then mechanically I put it down and seized the left boot. And then the fact flashed on me that all my life I had been putting on my left boot first. If you had asked me five minutes before which boot I put on first, I should have said that there was no first about it; yet now I found I was in a habit so fixed that the attempt to put on my right boot first affected me. The thing couldn’t be done. And then came into my mind that fascinating book of Samuel Butler’s on Life and Habit. Yes, certainly, here was a subject that would “go.” I took out a pencil, seized some writing paper, and sat down to write on “The Force of Habit.”
46. By “It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.” in paragraph 1, the author means _____.
A. some subjects are too complicated or embarrassing to write on
B. poverty is no longer a problem nowadays, but embarrassment is
C. poor people don’t encounter as many embarrassments as the rich
D. there’re so many subjects that it’s hard to decide which to choose

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次写作时遇到了选题困难,正当作者焦头烂额时,作者的无意之举给了他灵感,帮助他找到了文章主题。
【46题详解】
句意猜测题。联系这句话的上一句“Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject.(现在,如果你已经习惯了以写文章为生,你就会知道,有时困难并不在于写文章,而在于选主题。)”可知,作者认为写文章远远没有选择主题困难。由此判断,这句话的意思指的是主题太多太难选择。故选D。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For an hour I had paced my room in my slippers in search of a subject. I had looked out of the window over the sunlit valley, and watched the smoke of a distant train disappearing towards the west. I had sharpened every pencil I had on me with great care.(为了找一个话题,我穿着拖鞋在房间里踱了一个小时。我望着窗外阳光普照的山谷,看着远处火车的烟雾向西消失。我小心翼翼地削好了随身携带的每一支铅笔。)”可知,作者小心翼翼地削好了随身携带的每一支铅笔是为了提升思维,找到一个话题。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“You saw things in a new light. So I fetched my boots and sat down to put them on.(你从新的角度看问题。于是我把靴子拿来,坐下来穿上。)”以及第四段“The thing worked like a charm. For in my preoccupied condition I picked up my right boot first. Then mechanically I put it down and seized the left boot. And then the fact flashed on me that all my life I had been putting on my left boot first. If you had asked me five minutes before which boot I put on first, I should have said that there was no first about it; yet now I found I was in a habit so fixed that the attempt to put on my right boot first affected me.(这东西很管用。因为在我全神贯注的情况下,我先拿起了我的右靴子。然后我机械地把它放下,抓起左边的靴子。这时我突然想到,我这一辈子都是先穿左边的靴子。如果你在五分钟前问我先穿哪只靴子,我就会说没有先穿这回事;然而现在我发现我已经养成了一个固定的习惯,以至于先试着穿上右边的靴子都会影响到我。)”可知,穿靴子这件事帮助作者从其他角度看待问题,给了作者灵感。故选C。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There was no urgent reason for putting on my boots. I was not going out, and my slippers were much more comfortable. But something had to be done. I wanted a subject for an article. Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject.(没有什么紧急的理由让我穿上靴子。我不出去,我的拖鞋舒服多了。但是必须做点什么。我想找个文章的题目。现在,如果你已经习惯了以写文章为生,你就会知道,有时困难并不在于写文章,而在于选题目。)”可知,作者苦于找不到文章的主题;以及最后一段“And then came into my mind that fascinating book of Samuel Butler’s on Life and Habit. Yes, certainly, here was a subject that would “go.” I took out a pencil, seized some writing paper, and sat down to write on “The Force of Habit.”(然后,我想起了塞缪尔·巴特勒那本关于生活和习惯的迷人的书。是的,当然,这是一个可以“走”的主题。我拿出一支铅笔,抓起几张信纸,坐下来开始写“习惯的力量”)”可知,作者穿靴子时有了灵感,从而确定了文章的主题。故选D。

Was your school noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.
Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people's creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.
This makes sense for a couple of reasons says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum(嗡嗡声)in the background suggests a steady-state sound with not much variation. "So there's not much there to capture your attention- nothing disturbing the subjects," he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal(觉醒), says Perham. "Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background gives an ideal level of arousal. " With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.
Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it's a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you're hearing. "If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a Stephen King novel -then you did better. It didn't matter about the music," he says.
53. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi Mehta and Nick Perham?
A. It's better not to expose people to any background noise while at work.
B. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a school.
C. Noises will harm people's health however low their volumes are.
D. A certain level of noise may do good to people's creativity.
54. According to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had better________.
A. keep the classroom quiet
B. play music at a steady and medium volume
C. broadcast classical music
D. vary the volume of the music constantly
55. In the last paragraph, the underlined part "it's a stretch" is used to________.
A. prove the usefulness of pleasing sounds
B. confirm the belief of Mozart effect
C. challenge the importance of soft music
D. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ
56. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Learning Power: Noise and Music Work
B. Noise Meeting Music: A Blessing?
C. Noise or Music: Creativity in Danger
D. Brainpower: More Music and Less Noise
【答案】53. D 54. B 55. D 56. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了声音可以对学习,表现力和创造力产生影响,主要讲述噪音和创造力的关系。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low.”(他们发现,当背景噪音处于中等水平时,人们比音量较低时更有创造力。)可知,一定程度的噪音可能对人们的创造力有好处。故选D。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Medium arousal is best for good performance.”(佩姆说中等程度的唤醒是最好的表现。)及“With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.”(考虑到这一点,佩姆建议,在艺术课或其他创造力是关键的情况下,播放音乐或其他声音可能有一些好处。)可以推知,在艺术课上老师播放音乐或其他声音可能有一些好处。故选B。
【55题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分的前一句“Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. ”(许多人的灵感来自于这样一种信念∶听音乐可以提高任务智商, 即所谓的莫扎特效应),同时结合划线处后“researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well”(但研究人员确实认为,在完成任务前发出悦耳的声音有时能提升你的情绪,帮助你表现出色)可以推知,划线部分所在句子的意思为“尽管这个证据表明怀疑音乐在提高智商方面的力量”,即划线部分意为“怀疑音乐在提高智商方面的力量”。故选D。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。通过第一段“Was your school noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.”(你的学校是嘈杂的还是平静的 ?这似乎不重要,但越来越多的研究表明,声音可以对学习、表现和创造力产生影响);第三段中“Medium arousal is best for good performance.So it might be ...where creativity is key.”(中等唤醒是最好的表现。 因此, 可能是背景中的一般嗡喻嗡声给出了理想的唤醒水平,考虑到这—点,佩姆建议,在艺术课或其他创造性是关键的情况下,演奏音乐或其他声音可能有—些好处。) 可知,本文讲述的是噪音与音乐创作之间的联系。“音乐碰上噪音,会带来好处吗?”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。
Section C (8’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Exercise for a Better Brain
Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscles — directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box. ____57____ When you’re active, they send chemical signals telling your brain, “Hey, it’s time to grow!” Recent research suggests physical activity has multiple brain benefits, encouraging the birth and growth of new brain cells that supply oxygen and blood sugar to brain cells.
In a 2016 National Institute on Aging study, people who ran on a treadmill for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of brain-derived neurotrophic (神经营养的) factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells. ____58____
Without exercise, Suzuki says, “little baby neurons don’t get bigger and make thousands of new connections to other brain cells. With exercise, you get fully functioning adult brain cells.” Studies suggest that in younger adults, this can add to the overall number of cells in the hippocampus (海马体). ____59____ It’s a good deal. “There’s evidence these new brain cells are very active,” she says. “They’re excitable, like teenagers. They get involved in more memory circuits than older cells do. You get more connections.’
____60____ If you’re inactive, a stroll around the block may be all it takes to encourage neuroplasticity, she says. And every bit counts. In a 2019 Boston University study of 2354 adults in their 40s through 60s, sedentary people who boosted their daily walking by 7500 steps or more had bigger brains than those who didn’t exercise equivalent to 1.4 to 2.2 fewer years of brain aging, the more light activity study participants logged, such as doing housework, shopping, gardening, or walking the dog, the greater the overall size of their brains.
A. And once age-related brain changes begin, starting in our 30s, exercise helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones.
B. Tips have been offered as to how to do exercise.
C. After four months of workouts, their scores improved on a memory test.
D. Besides, studies also suggest that dying cells and brain wastes can be cleared with enough exercise on a regular basis.
E. But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more research shows that when you exercise, your muscles take charge.
F. Again, a little goes a long way.
【答案】57. E 58. C 59. A 60. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动对大脑的益处,如促进新脑细胞的生长、提高记忆力、延缓大脑衰老等,还指出少量运动也有很大作用。
【57题详解】
上文“Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscles — directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box. (大多数时候,你的大脑是肌肉的“老板”——指挥你如何击球、弹钢琴或打开麦片盒) ”说明大脑对肌肉的支配作用。E选项“But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more research shows that when you exercise, your muscles take charge. (但当涉及到生长新的脑细胞时,越来越多的研究表明,当你运动时,你的肌肉起主导作用)”与上文形成转折,引出下文关于运动时肌肉对大脑细胞生长的影响,上下文语意衔接自然。故选E项。
【58题详解】
上文“In a 2016 National Institute on Aging study, people who ran on a treadmill for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of brain-derived neurotrophic (神经营养的) factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells. (在2016年国家老龄问题研究所的一项研究中,那些每周三天在跑步机上跑45分钟的人提高了他们大脑衍生神经营养因子的水平,这种化学物质就像新脑细胞的肥料)”说明运动对大脑神经营养因子的积极影响。C选项“After four months of workouts, their scores improved on a memory test.(经过四个月的锻炼,他们在记忆力测试中的分数提高了) ”进一步说明了运动带来的好处,即提高记忆力,与上文的研究结果相呼应。故选C项。
59题详解】
上文“Studies suggest that in younger adults, this can add to the overall number of cells in the hippocampus (海马体).(研究表明,在年轻人中,这可以增加海马体中的细胞总数)”说明运动对年轻人海马体细胞数量的积极影响。A选项“And once age related brain changes begin, starting in our 30s, exercise helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones.(一旦与年龄相关的大脑变化在我们30多岁开始出现,运动有助于让脑细胞存活更长时间,并用新细胞取代旧细胞)”则说明了运动在年龄增长过程中对大脑细胞的作用,与上文关于运动对年轻人大脑细胞的影响构成递进关系。故选A项。
【60题详解】
下文“If you’re inactive, a stroll around the block may be all it takes to encourage neuroplasticity, she says. And every bit counts. (她说,如果你不活跃,在街区周围散散步可能就足以促进神经可塑性。每一点运动都很重要) ”说明少量运动也有很大作用。F选项“Again, a little goes a long way.(同样,少量的运动也能产生很大的效果) ”能够概括下文的内容,引出下文关于少量运动益处的说明。故选F项。

Communal Eating?
In China communal eating (合餐共食) is considered very important for forming a close relationship. In the memories of most Chinese, one of the happiest moments in their lives was seated around a table with families or friends, ____21____ dishes and chatting over wine.
In the campaign against the COVID-19 outbreak, this dining tradition has been greatly ____22____. Since each diner picks food out of the communal plates on a bite-by-bite basis with their chopsticks, the virus can be transferred from saliva (唾液) to chopsticks to the dish. What’s worse, diners often ____23____ others with their own utensils, such as chopsticks or spoons, to express friendliness and care. Several cases of coronavirus are thought to have ____24____ through families when sharing food during the Chinese New Year period.
Communal eating has thus become a target of both governments and restaurants. Posters have been ____25____ by local governments to encourage people to use serving utensils. Concerned about customers being very careful about returning to restaurants, the catering industry (餐饮业) has ____26____ joined the campaign. For example, many restaurants, once allowed to reopen, have immediately sprung into action, particularly offering set meals for one single person.
These changes are likely to continue and could be encouraged by local regulations, as eating together ____27____ can always protect the public health. The measures will ____28____ the traditional mealtime manners.
The move away from a traditional cultural ____29____ is ongoing. But as an expert said, “In modern times to eat individually may lose some tradition, but it can also mean more opportunities for ______30______ something new in Chinese food and eating habits.”
II. Reading Comprehension (45’)
Section A (15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Common dietary advice encourages us to eat whole food and avoid processed ones. But there is no clear understanding of what makes a food ultra-processed or how these foods affect our health. Broadly labeling ultra-processed foods as bad could not only lead us to ____31____other potential factors contributing to obesity, but may create a new set of unconscious health consequences.
For decades, public health experts have raised the alarm about ultra-processed foods, blaming them for ____32____increases in obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Already, two countries-Canada and Brazil have advice on____33____ultra-processed foods in their national dietary guidelines. More countries, including the US and Australia, are debating whether to____34____their practice. However, there are too many unknowns to justify such sweeping____35____,according to nutrition researchers at a conference hosted by the American Society for Nutrition in Boston on 23 July.
Although it is often repeated that ultra-processed foods are bad for us, there is no universal____36____of such products. The most widely used description is based on the NOVA food classification system, which says a food is ultra-processed if it uses____37____,often derived from other foods, to “imitate or enhance the sensory qualities of foods or to disguise unpalatable (难吃的) aspects of the final product". NOVA also states that “a multitude of sequences or____38____is used to combine the usually many ingredients" and these processes can’t be done at home.
This definition is ____39____and unclear, says Lauren O’Connor at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), who participated in the panel. As such, it can be difficult to_____40_____foods according to the NOVA system. What’s more, it is hard to be sure how-or if-ultra-processed foods are harmful to health.
Mixing foods together like this also make people_____41_____to capture the small impacts some of them have on health. Research shows that foods often categorized as ultra-processed ones can contribute key_____42_____to people’s diets. Earlier this year, O’Connor and her colleagues showed that, of 1,140 children aged between 6 and 23 months old in the US, 75 per cent of their iron intake and 48 per cent of their zinc intake, on average, came from foods considered ultra-processed by NOVA. “One of the biggest_____43_____of some ultra-processed foods is strengthening micronutrients,” says O’Connor. This means blanket guidance to avoid ultra-processed foods could lead to nutrient_____44_____and that ultra-processed food can form part of a healthy diet.
“There is still a lot that we don’t know about ultra-processed foods,” says O’Connor. “We have to be really_____45_____of that because we don’t want to look down upon any foods.

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
I was putting on my boots just now in what the novelists call “a brown study.” There was no urgent reason for putting on my boots. I was not going out, and my slippers were much more comfortable. But something had to be done. I wanted a subject for an article. Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject. It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.
But what has this to do with putting on my boots? It is a reasonable question and I will tell you. For an hour I had paced my room in my slippers in search of a subject. I had looked out of the window over the sunlit valley, and watched the smoke of a distant train disappearing towards the west. I had sharpened every pencil I had on me with great care. But the more I sharpened my pencils, the more anxious I grew about the theme for an article.
It was at this moment that I remembered my boots. The act of bending my body changed the current of the blood. You saw things in a new light. So I fetched my boots and sat down to put them on.
The thing worked like a charm. For in my preoccupied condition I picked up my right boot first. Then mechanically I put it down and seized the left boot. And then the fact flashed on me that all my life I had been putting on my left boot first. If you had asked me five minutes before which boot I put on first, I should have said that there was no first about it; yet now I found I was in a habit so fixed that the attempt to put on my right boot first affected me. The thing couldn’t be done. And then came into my mind that fascinating book of Samuel Butler’s on Life and Habit. Yes, certainly, here was a subject that would “go.” I took out a pencil, seized some writing paper, and sat down to write on “The Force of Habit.”
46. By “It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.” in paragraph 1, the author means _____.
A. some subjects are too complicated or embarrassing to write on
B. poverty is no longer a problem nowadays but embarrassment is
C. poor people don’t encounter as many embarrassments as the rich
D. there’re so many subjects that it’s hard to decide which to choose
47. Why did the author sharpen his pencils with great care?
A. To help himself promote thinking. B. To draw what he saw out of the window.
C. To write his article more smoothly. D. To relieve himself of anxiety about writing.
48. Putting on the boots helped the author _____.
A. get rid of his fixed habit B. lower his blood pressure
C. see things from a new angle D. free his preoccupied mind
49. The passage is mainly about the author’s _____.
A. personal attitude towards habits B. daily routines as a professional writer
C. writing process of a special article D. decision making on the theme for an article

Was your school noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.
Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people's creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.
This makes sense for a couple of reasons, says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum(嗡嗡声)in the background suggests a steady-state sound with not much variation. "So there's not much there to capture your attention- nothing disturbing the subjects," he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal(觉醒), says Perham. "Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background gives an ideal level of arousal. " With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.
Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it's a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you're hearing. "If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a Stephen King novel -then you did better. It didn't matter about the music," he says.
53. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi Mehta and Nick Perham?
A. It's better not to expose people to any background noise while at work.
B. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a school.
C. Noises will harm people's health however low their volumes are.
D. A certain level of noise may do good to people's creativity.
54. According to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had better________.
A. keep the classroom quiet
B. play music at a steady and medium volume
C. broadcast classical music
D. vary the volume of the music constantly
55. In the last paragraph, the underlined part "it's a stretch" is used to________.
A. prove the usefulness of pleasing sounds
B. confirm the belief of Mozart effect
C. challenge the importance of soft music
D. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ
56. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Learning Power: Noise and Music Work
B. Noise Meeting Music: A Blessing?
C. Noise or Music: Creativity in Danger
D. Brainpower: More Music and Less Noise
Section C (8’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Exercise for a Better Brain
Most of the time, your brain is the boss of your muscles — directing how you hit a ball, play the piano, or open a cereal box. ____57____ When you’re active, they send chemical signals telling your brain, “Hey, it’s time to grow!” Recent research suggests physical activity has multiple brain benefits, encouraging the birth and growth of new brain cells that supply oxygen and blood sugar to brain cells.
In a 2016 National Institute on Aging study, people who ran on a treadmill for 45 minutes three days a week boosted their levels of brain-derived neurotrophic (神经营养的) factor, a chemical that acts like fertilizer for new brain cells. ____58____
Without exercise, Suzuki says, “little baby neurons don’t get bigger and make thousands of new connections to other brain cells. With exercise, you get fully functioning adult brain cells.” Studies suggest that in younger adults, this can add to the overall number of cells in the hippocampus (海马体). ____59____ It’s a good deal. “There’s evidence these new brain cells are very active,” she says. “They’re excitable, like teenagers. They get involved in more memory circuits than older cells do. You get more connections.’
____60____ If you’re inactive, a stroll around the block may be all it takes to encourage neuroplasticity, she says. And every bit counts. In a 2019 Boston University study of 2354 adults in their 40s through 60s, sedentary people who boosted their daily walking by 7500 steps or more had bigger brains than those who didn’t exercise equivalent to 1.4 to 2.2 fewer years of brain aging, the more light activity study participants logged, such as doing housework, shopping, gardening, or walking the dog, the greater the overall size of their brains.
A. And once age-related brain changes begin, starting in our 30s, exercise helps keep brain cells alive longer and replaces old cells with new ones.
B. Tips have been offered as to how to do exercise.
C. After four months of workouts, their scores improved on a memory test.
D. Besides, studies also suggest that dying cells and brain wastes can be cleared with enough exercise on a regular basis.
E. But when it comes to growing new brain cells, more and more research shows that when you exercise, your muscles take charge.
F. Again, a little goes a long way.
