Part III Reading
Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a
passage with ten blanks. You are required to
select one word
for each blank from a
list of choices given in a word bank 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 Answer 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
passage you have just heard.
Physical activity does the body good,
and there
’
s growing evidence
that it helps the brain too.
Researchers in the Netherlands report
that children who get more exercise, whether at
school or
on
their
own,
26
to
have
higher
GPAs
and
better
scores
on
standardized
tests.
In
a
27
of 14 studies that looked at physical
activity and academic
28
,
investigators found that the
more
children
moved,
the better
their
grades
were
in
school,
29
in
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 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
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
they
’
re running
around, they may actually be exercising
their brains as well.

Answer Sheet
2.
Finding the Right
Home
—
and Contentment, Too
[A] When your elderly relative needs to
enter some sort of long-term care
facility
—
a moment
few parents or children approach
without fear
—
what you would
like is to have everything made
clear.
[B] Does assisted living
really mark a great improvement over a nursing
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
one
’
s homework really steer
families to the best
places? It is
genuinely hard to know.
[C]
I am about to make things more complicated by
suggesting 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 quality 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
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 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
associate
professor
of
medicine
at
the
university.
A
reasonable
assumption
—
don
’
t
families struggle to avoid nursing homes and
suffer real guilt if they
can
’
t?
[F] In the initial results, assisted
living residents did paint the most positive
picture. They were
less likely to
report symptoms of depression than 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
