21、Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia（痴呆症）increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.
After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.
Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.
When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved.” Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.
But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications like antidepressants.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defence against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive（认知的）reserve, Daffner says.
“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain promotion.
【1】Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?
A．All of them are just age-related.
B．They exist among fifty-year-olds.
C．Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.
D．They occur only among certain groups of people.
【2】What happens as we become aged according to the passage?
A．Our interaction skills worsen.
B．Our whole brain starts shrinking.
C．Most parts of our brain stop functioning.
D．Communication within our brain weakens.
【3】What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for fighting against memory loss?
A．Having regular physical checkups.
B．Turning to a professional for assistance.
C．Staying active both physically and mentally.
D．Taking medicine that helps promote one’s brain.
22、While the idea of warmer, shorter winters might sound appealing to farmers eager to tap into longer growing seasons those engaged in Georgia’s massive peach industry are finding the trend alarming. Since 1960, the average winter temperature in Georgia, has risen by 5°F. For farmers who depend on cold weather to help peaches grow, the state’s diminishing winters are a warning to adapt or else.
One of the keys to growing the perfect Georgia peach is something called “chill (寒冷的) hours.” Nut and fruit trees require a certain number of chill hours below 45°F to regulate their growth. Without the needed amount, flower buds may be delayed or unpredictable in spring and fruit set and fruit quality will be poor. In Georgia, home to nearly 12,000 acres of peaches, the average peach tree requires anywhere from 650 to 850 chill hours each season.
The impact from a loss of chill hours was felt most recently in 2017, when farms across the state averaged less than 400 hours and 85% of the peach crop was lost. “It was so bad that we didn’t care about the blooms anymore.” Chavez said, “We wondered if the plants would survive.”
While planting new varieties of peaches that require fewer chill hours is part of the solution, it’s not the only characteristic that’s necessary. Despite warmer, shorter winters, Georgia still experiences a consistent frost in early March. Peach varieties with fewer chill hours often bloom earlier, making them easy victims to this freezing spring temperatures.
In response, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) is experimenting with hybrid varieties that achieve that delicate balance. The days of planting 1,000+ chill hour varieties in Georgia may be gone, but the hope is that continued research into global warming-tolerant varieties may keep the state’s official fruit firmly in the sweet spot of American produce.
“We’ve got to keep changing as the environment changes,” Georgia farmer Lawton Pearson said. “But it’s not something that scares us in the slightest about the future of growing peaches. It’s just something you’ve got to deal with.”
【1】What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Shortened.
B．Freezing.
C．Disappearing.
D．Delayed.
【2】Why are Chave’s remarks cited in Paragraph 3?
A．To explain reasons for chill-hours loss.
B．To prove 2017 is the worst year in history.
C．To confirm peach farmers suffered the most.
D．To show the serious consequence of chill-hours loss.
【3】What is the key to successfully developing warming-tolerant peach varieties?
A．Improvement of sweetness of peaches.
B．Achievement of the shortest chill hours.
C．Avoidance of peaches’ much delayed flowering,
D．Balance between low chill and normal flowering.
【4】What is Lawton Pearson’s attitude toward the future of growing peaches?
A．Curious.
B．Skeptical.
C．Positive.
D．Ambiguous.
23、 About two months ago, Xing Yan started experiencing insomnia for the first time.
“It developed suddenly. I was under heavy pressure from work at the time. I could not fall asleep at all at night, and was wide awake until dawn. I tried not to think of the things that were troubling me and forget them, but the thoughts quickly returned, making it even harder for me to fall asleep,” said the bank employee from Fushun, Liaoning province.
Before the insomnia developed, Xing had regularly experienced less serious related disorders, such as taking a long time to fall asleep. He believes his tendency to worry may be the cause of his insomnia.
In addition to feeling tired during the day, Xing feels he is experiencing the physical consequences of insomnia, such as an unexplained stomach ache.
“I became very frightened when I realized I could not sleep every day,” said the 40-year-old, who has been admitted to Peking University Sixth Hospital in Beijing for treatment. “I may be ruined if this situation continues.”
In an attempt to overcome his problem, Xing plans to strictly follow the advice of his doctor, such as getting up and going to bed at fixed times, and taking medication.
Sun Hongqiang, director of the Sleep Medicine Center at the hospital, said his team has seen a constant rise in the number of patients with sleeping disorders in recent years.
Despite seeing about 100 patients every day, the 12 doctors at the center are unable to meet demand, which means many patients endure a long wait before they can consult a physician, according to Sun.
“Globally, the incidence of sleep disorders is rising,” he said. “In China, about 30 percent of the population has sleep disorders, while around 10 percent frequently experience insomnia.”
It is unclear what is behind the rise in the number of people with sleep disorders, but the problem may be linked with factors such as personality, brain-related illnesses and disturbed lifestyles, he added.
【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?
A.Being unable to sleep.
B.Staying up late.
C.Low sleep quality.
D.Taking a long time to fall asleep.
【2】What’s Xing’s occupation?
A.A doctor.
B.A bank employee.
C.A student from Peking University
D.A physician.
【3】What can be inferred from Sun Hongqiang’s words?
A.About 30% of the Chinese suffer from insomnia.
B.Doctors are too busy to see people with insomnia.
C.Physicians are in high demand in the battle against insomnia.
D.The causes of insomnia include brain-related illnesses and disturbed lifestyles.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Insomnia — A terrible disease
B.Insomnia — An increasing incident
C.Doctors — In great demand
D.Sleep disorder — A constant phenomenon
24、From the first days of nursery school to the first days of college, parents and children are faced with feelings brought about by separation. Children of all ages may experience some anxiety about managing on their own. Young children are still struggling to control their impulses (冲动) and may need a parent’s presence to feel secure. Older children leaving home may experience their own anxiety about managing on their own due to homesickness.
Children’s protests (抗议) about parents leaving them in a new situation often take the form of crying, which causes parents’ considerable concern. Generally, children’s protesting behavior around separation gets the most attention. At times, a different point of view may arise between parents and teachers about the best way to handle the situation. Teachers may think a child will be fine if the parent just leaves, while a parent may see the child as needing her presence. These roles are sometimes interchanged.
Although it is the apparent upsets that get the most attention, when observing pre-school groups one can see the various ways children deal with the feelings aroused by separation. Some children deal with the situation by removing themselves from the group. In a recent observation, a little girl removed herself from the activity but continued to watch carefully everything that was going on.
In another group, a more obvious separation scene took place. The mother seemed clearly prepared to stay while the boy joined the group on his own. He seemed most competent until his mother suddenly decided to leave. At that point the child broke down completely, crying pitifully - different from the formerly competent boy.
In situations like this one, mothers always wonder why their own child is not able to master separating from them as other children do. But the real point here is that separation is a developmental step which children deal with in different ways. When children don’t openly cry and protest, it doesn’t mean they are not struggling to master the same feelings, each in his or her own way. It just means they express their feelings in a different way.
【1】How will children feel when they are separated from their parents?
A. They will feel upset about relying on themselves.
B. They will feel excited about managing their own business.
C. They will feel hatred for being left alone.
D. They will feel scared of being abandoned.
【2】As to the best way to deal with separation, .
A. parents and teachers always disagree with each other
B. some parents argue that there is no solution to the problem
C. parents sometimes think that they can be absent
D. some teachers misunderstand parents’ behaviors
【3】The author uses the observation of pre-school groups to .
A. compare different ways children deal with the feelings
B. present how children handle the feelings differently
C. criticize the cruelty of separation
D. show the harmful effect of separation
【4】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. How children express their feelings varies from person to person.
B. How to deal with separation remains to be discussed.
C. Separation will cause children to suffer a lot.
D. Separation will give rise to a similar reaction.
