27、 For an old person, his brain may perform not so well as before. But a new study suggests that some parts of brain may already decline in young adulthood.
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 27. Meanwhile, the decline of memory generally became apparent around age 37.
On the other hand, indicators of a person’s 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 people's minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse. “According to these patterns, some kinds of flexibility in the brain decline relatively early in adulthood, but throughout adulthood the knowledge pool in one’s command and the effective combination with one’s capabilities may be on the increase without the attack of diseases.” Salthouse said in a news conference.
The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at first 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 that certain aspects of cognition (认知能力) generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s.The findings explain 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.
【1】According to the text, what is the common view of mental function?
A.It varies from person to person.
B.It weakens in one’s later years.
C.It gradually expands with age.
D.It indicates one’s health condition.
【2】What does Timothy Salthouse say about people’s minds in most cases?
A.They tend to decline in people’s later years.
B.Their flexibility determines one’s abilities.
C.They function quite well even in old age.
D.Their functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.
【3】Although people’s minds may function less flexibly as they age, what is their strength?
A.They may be better at solving puzzles.
B.They can memorize things with more ease.
C.They may have greater facility in abstract reasoning.
D.They can put what they have learned into more effective use.
【4】According to Salthouse, how may their study help us?
A.It will find ways to stop mental functions dulling fast.
B.It will find ways to improve our memories.
C.It will help us understand the complex process of mental functioning.
D.It will help us understand the relation between physical and mental health.
28、One day King Solomon was sitting on his throne (宝座、御座) and his guards were standing around him. Suddenly the door was opened and the Queen of Sheba came in. “King,” she said, “in my own country I have heard much about your power and glory, but much more about your wisdom. Men have told me that there is no puzzle that you can not solve. I have here a puzzle which I think will test your wisdom. I would like to show you.”
Then she held up in each hand beautiful wreath(花环) of flowers. The wreaths were so nearly alike that none could point out any difference. “One of these wreaths,” said the Queen, “is made of flowers picked from your garden. The other is made of artificial(人工的) flowers, shaped and colored by a skillful artist. Now, tell me, which one is true, and which one is false?” The king was puzzled. He moved uneasily on his golden throne. His ministers and guards shook their heads.
Suddenly the king remembered that close by his window there was a climbing vine(藤) filled with beautiful sweet flowers. He had seen many bees flying among these flowers and gathering honey from them. He asked one of his ministers to open the window.
It was opened. The queen was standing quite near to it with the two wreaths still in her hands. The next moment two bees flew eagerly in. Then came one after another. All flew to the flowers in the queen’s right hand. Not one of the bees so much as looked at those in her left hand. “Queen of Sheba, the bees have given you my answer,” said King Solomon.
And the queen said, “You are wise, King Solomon. You gather knowledge from the little things which common men pass by unnoticed.”

29、 I used to live in South Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar. There is nothing quite like the vast African wilderness.
Our jeep broke down suddenly along the too-hot-to-touch sand. With such an engine, it was tough work. The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket shower.
With no supplies available within the park—it was a sort of no man’s land with the occasional cow—it’s necessary to bring all your fuel, food and water with you.
We camped in a small open space of the bush. At the height of the dry season, shade was in very little supply, so we angled ourselves near a lonely leafless tree. As the sun was setting, we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away, and were reminded just why we’d chosen to spend weeks experiencing this difficult, unpleasant, and painful exercise on ourselves. Realizing our arrival, a lone lion stopped his drinking. He yawned (打哈欠), then carried on drinking.
That night, sleeping on the roof of the jeep, we felt his roar (吼叫) as much as we heard it. All movements and activities stopped, but when bright satellites flashed across the blackness, the vast African skies offered the only sign that the outside world hadn’t come to a standstill.
In the morning we saw that the lion had walked on the road overnight, his paw prints pressed into yesterday’s tyre tracks. We set off for another morning inching through the sand: another day of shifting landscapes and raw (原始的), wild beauty; another night lit by fireflies and shooting stars.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The author and his friend toured the Reserve without difficulty.
B.There were many cows in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
C.The lion walked along the tyre tracks and attacked the jeep at night.
D.The author and his friend suffered much heat in the daytime.
【2】What does the underlined word “precious” mean in the passage?
A.Clean. B.Enjoyable.
C.Valuable. D.Enough.
【3】What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A.The jeep’s tyre was destroyed by the lion at night.
B.The lion didn’t get close to the author’s jeep at night.
C.The author didn’t think the reserve worth visiting.
D.The natural beauty appealed to them to go on bravely.
【4】Which of the following is the best title?
A.A Roaring Lion B.An African Wilderness Tour
C.Extremely Hot Weather D.African Wild Beauty
