is theresearch finding of a team of Japanese doctors,who say that most of ourbrains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageingunnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthyfarmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think andreason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could beslowed down.With a team of colleagues at Gokyo National University,he set aboutmeasuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varyingoccupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise,measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,whichrelate to intellect and emotion,and determine the human character.（Therear section of the brain,which controls functions like eating and breathing,does not contract with age,and one can continue living without intellectual oremotional faculties.）Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed insome subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty andseventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to thecontraction normally associated with ageusing the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain beginssooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk,saysMatsuzawa,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shopassistant.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain fromshrinking.Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the freshoxygen the brain cells need.“The best way to maintain good bloodcirculation is through using the brain?”He says,“Think hard and engage inconversation.Dont rely on pocket calculators.”41.The team of doctors wanted to find out _.A.why certain

to the passage,which people seem to age slower thanothers?A.Lawyers.B.Farmers.C.Clerks.D.Shop assistants.【答案与解析】41.B 根据第二段最后半句“how the process of ageing could beslowed down”可知，专家正在寻找使人脑衰老减缓的方法。因此答案选B。42.C 根据第三段“With a team of colleagues at Gokyo NationalUniversity,he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people ofdifferent ages and varying occupations.”可知，专家们的研究基于这次对不同年龄和不同职业的千人的脑容量的测试。因此答案选C。43.D 根据第七段第一句“The findings show in general terms thatcontraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in thetowns.”可知，乡村里的人比城市里的人大脑萎缩得快。因此答案选D。44.D 根据第五段后半句“it was still not evident in some sixty andseventy-year-olds.”可知，subject在这里是被抽中做实验研究的主体。因此答案选D。45.A 根据倒数第二段第二句“Those least at risk,says Matsuzawa,arelawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.”可知，律师的大脑比其他职业的人萎缩得慢。因此答案选A。Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:The English have the reputation of being very different from all othernationalities.It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest ofEurope has much to do with it.Whatever the reasons,it may be fairly statedthat the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishinghim from other nationalities.Broadly speaking,the Englishman is a quiet,shy,reserved personamong people he knows well.Before strangers he often seems inhibited,evenembarrassed.You have only to witness a railway compartment any morningor evening to see the math.Serious-looking businessmen and women sitreading their newspapers or dozing（打盹）in a comer;no one speaks.AnEnglish wit once suggested to overseas visitors,“On entering a railwaycompartment shake hands with all the passengers.”Needless to say,he wasnot being serious.There is an unwritten but clearly understood code ofbehavior,which,if broken,makes the person immediately the object ofsuspicion.It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes ofenthusiasm,emotion etc.Of course,an Englishman feels no less than anyother nationality.Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a younggirl.A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as“amarvelous jewel”,while the Englishman will flatly state“Urn,shes allright”.An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyablefilm to friends by commenting,“Its not bad.”The overseas visitors must notbe disappointed by this apparent lack of interest;he must realize that“allright”,“not bad”are very often used with the sense of“first class”,“excellent”.This special use of language is particularly common in English.46.One explanation for the different character of English people is that_.A.they are geographically isolated from the European continentB.they have nothing to do with the other EuropeansC.they like to keep quiet among their acquaintancesD.they tend to be reserved by nature47.The word“inhibited”（Line 2,Para.2）in this passage probablymeans _.A.unable to have good mannersB.unable to express and relax freelyC.unable to think properlyD.unable to move around fre
