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

.

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

jus

t

exercising

their

bodies

when

they’re

running

around,

they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with

ten

statements

attached

to

it.

Each

statement

contains

information

given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which

the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than

once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions

by marking the corresponding letter on 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.
