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

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.

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 (

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 au

thor 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
