n c
passage one
questions 46 to 50 are based on the following
ing mental function is often seen as a
problem
of old
age
，
but certain aspects of
brain function actually begin
their
decline in young adulthood, a new study
suggests.
the study, which
followed more than 2,000 healthy adults
between the ages of 18 and 60, found
that certain mental
functions
—
including measures of abstract
reasoning, mental
speed and puzzle-
solving
—
started to dull as
early as age
in memory, meanwhile,
generally became apparent
around age
37.
on the other hand,
indicators of a persons accumulated
knowledge
—
like
performance on tests of vocabulary and
general
knowledge
—
kept improving
with age, according to
findings
published in the journal neurobiology of
aging.
the results do not
mean that young adults need to start
worrying about their memories. most
peoples minds function
at a high level
even in their later years, according to researcher
timothy salthouse.
these patterns suggest that some types
of mental
flexibility
decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that
the
amount of knowledge one has, and
the effectiveness of
integrating it
with ones abilities
，
may
increase throughout all
of adulthood if
there are no dispases, salthouse said in a news
release.
the
study included healthy, educated adults who took
standard tests of memory, reasoning and
perception at the
outset and at some
point over the next seven years.
the tests are designed to detect
subtle (
细微的
)changes in
mental function, and involve solving
puzzles, recalling words
and details
from stories, and identifying patterns in
collections
of letters and
symbols.
in general,
salthouse and his colleagues found, certain
aspects of cognition
(
认知能力
)generally started to
decline in
the late 20s to
30s.
the findings shed light
on normal age-related changes in
mental
function, which could aid in understanding the
process
of
dementia(
痴呆
),according to
the researchers.
by
following individuals over time, salthouse said,
we gain
insight in cognition changes,
and may possibly discover ways
to slow
the rate of decline.
the
researchers are currently analyzing, the
study
participants health
and lifestyle to see which factors might
influence age-related cognitive
changes.

短篇新闻（
5-7
）
news report three
almost all companies recognize the
importance of innovation
today. but not
many are able to integrate innovation into their
business.
a
commentary in the shanghai daily points out that
innovation
doesnt mean piles of
documents. it is something more
practical. the article says many people
tend to assume that
innovation just
means creating something new, but actually its
more than that. its an attitude of
doing things.
a company
should find ways to innovate not just in products
but also in functions, business models
and processes.
the article
cites the global giant procter gamble as an
example, saying a real innovative
company should develop an
innovation
culture and use it as a primary tool for success.
procter gamble has a “corporate
innovation fund” which
offers big
rewards for high-risk ideas that
succeed. it also has a special
innovation facility for its
employees.
sometimes its employees are released from their
daily jobs for weeks and spend their
time interacting in the
innovation
facility instead. in conclusion, the article says
innovative ideas alone do not ensure
success. its pointless
unless there is
a repeatable process in place to turn inspiration
into financial performance.
q5. what is the problem with many
companies according to
the news
report?
q6. what do many
people tend to think of innovation?
q7. what does the company procter
gamble owe its success
to?

conversation one
m: so, linzy, do you like to text
message on your cell phone?
w: yeah, i
text message a lot.
m: i
dont do it so much. i prefer to make a call if im
in a hurry.
w: yeah, i go both ways.
sometimes i d
on’t really want to talk
to the person. i just want to ask them
one question, so its
much easier for me
just to text message. if i call them, ill have
to have a long conversation.
m: yeah, i can see what you mean. but
i get off the phone
pretty quickly when
i call. im not a big talker.
w: yeah, thats true. you dont talk a
lot.
m: so are you fast at
writing the messages with your thumb?
w: well, when i first got a cell
phone, i was so slow. i thought i
would
never text message. but then people kept text
messaging me, so i felt obliged to
learn how to text message.
so now im
pretty fast. what about you?
m: actually i have the opposite
problem. when i first got my
cell
phone, i thought it was so cool to text message
all my
friends who have one, and i was
pretty fast with my thumb
then. but it
seems like now i dont use it so much, ive got
slower actually.
w: yeah, i think text messaging actually is what
you have to do
with your age. for
example, people in high school, they text
message a lot. but i ask my father if
he texted messages, and
guess what he
said?
m: what?
w: he said hed never text message. he
thinks its very childish
and
unprofessional to text message.
m: yeah, i can see what he means. its
considered pretty
informal to text
message to someone.
questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation
youve just
heard. q8: what does the man
say about himself?
q9: what
does the woman tend to do while she is on the
phone?

got his cell phone?
