21、We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less flexible and nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly — and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is "associated with improved cognitive(认知的)performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage." The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan's University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on this weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain activity he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers(同龄人).
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
【1】Which of the following best explains “nimble” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Intelligent. B. Dull. C. Unique. D. Simple.
【2】What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers?
A. They had significant brain advantages. B. Their brains were younger than their age.
C. They didn’t have to attend health classes. D. Their cognitive performance would decline.
【3】How does the author support his idea?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing study results.
C. By describing the processes. D. By telling his own experiences.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.
B. Exercise is especially good for the old.
C. Exercise can benefit your brain health.
D. Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.
22、A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.
US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.
“Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.
In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.
Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”
【1】What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?
A. It is fast in pace.
B. It is slow in pace.
C. It makes us feel upset.
D. It makes us feel optimistic.
【2】What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?
A. There are colors that do not match any music.
B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music
C. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.
D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.
【3】How did the researchers do the research?
A. By making predictions. B. By researching journals.
C. By conducting experiments. D. By studying famous musicians.
【4】According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________
A. how colors or music influence our emotions
B. how emotions affect music-color connections
C. why we have different feelings towards music
D. why we have different feelings towards colors

24、France's Louvre Museum reopened on Monday after closing in March due to the coronavirus. But things are far from business as usual.
The world's most visited museum has carried out new measures, including a mask requirement and an online-only reservation system to protect art lovers from the virus.
One unintended consequence of these restrictions has been an experience devoid (缺乏的) of the usual crowds of tourists, which normally reach up to 50,000 people a day.
Freddie Keen, visiting from London with some friends, told NPR it was easy to take his time seeing some of the Louvre's top attractions. "It was definitely a much more comfortable experience seeing the Mona Lisa without having any peer pressure from hundreds of people staring at you and waiting for you to move on," Keen said.
Floor markers in the hall, where the Mona Lisa is held, have been put in place to ensure guests keep a physical distance of at least 3 feet. Visitors must also follow a one-way path through the building.
International tourists made up around 70% of the 9.6 million visitors in 2019. Museum Director Jean-Luc Martinez said he was hoping to attract more French tourists this summer because of the current travel restrictions.
"We are going to be at best 20 to 30% down on last summer," Martinez told Agence France-Presse, adding that the museum expects between 4,000 and 10,000 visitors a day.
During the four-month shutdown, the famous art destination lost an equivalent (等价物) of $45 million in ticket sales this year. However, France's tourism industry could soon get a much-needed boost. Last week, the European Union lifted travel restrictions on visitors from more than a dozen countries considered low risk for spreading the coronavirus. Because of the rising level of virus infections among Americans, the United States was not included on the list.
【1】What one can experience with new measures taken in Louvre Museum?
A.Wearing masks offered by the museum.
B.Appreciating works of art with experts.
C.Visiting the museum with fewer tourists.
D.Enjoying tour-guide service free of charge.
【2】How does Louvre Museum keep visitors at a safe distance while visiting?
A.By persuading them to wear masks.
B.By closing some districts to the public.
C.By accepting online-only reservation.
D.By sticking one-way marks onto the floor.
【3】Where do the current potential visitors probably come from according to Jean-Luc Martinez ?
A.France itself.
B.The United States.
C.European countries.
D.Around the world.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Restrictions on tourism will remain strict.
B.Louvre Museum suffered the greatest loss.
C.France’s tourism could gradually improve.
D.Americans are resistant to the coronavirus.
