There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that hes seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional wayeating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.1、There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _.Abelieve overweight only affects our bodyBhave focused on ways to sharpen peoples mindCdo not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityDare clear about the relation between weight and mental functions2、The result of Gunstads study shows that _.Alosing weight has little effect on peoples memoryBlosing weight can improve peoples mental functionsCoverweight people are likely to have psychology problemsDoverweight peoples abilities of concentration differ greatly3、What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?ASlim people are smarter than overweight people.BHealthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.CTraditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.DOverweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?ABody Weight and HealthBLosing Weight by OperationCWays to Improve Mental FunctionsDLosing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind22（8分）At a time when almost anything can be purchased with just one click, its become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasnt always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Caf movement. Founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by sewing expert Martine Postma, the original nonprofit has expanded to more than 1,20 locations worldwide. These pop-up events, which are run by volunteers, offer lessons in how to fix anything from fixing a button to an unresponsive laptop.“Theres juice and treats and you get to meet new people,” says Bennett, a retired civil servant and volunteer fixer at the Repair Cafe Toronto, where she mends jewellery. She brings her own specialized tools but says most items could be repaired by anyone with a pair of pliers and some determination. “Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if youre throwing it out, youre wasting those resources. ”If you cant find a Repair Cafe near you, its easy to start one. RepairCafe. org offers a starter manual with step-by-step instructions.Changing how we acquire things is necessary, but theres also something to be said for simply not getting them in the first place. “Most of us have more than what we need,” says Marina. “This can lead to a lot of anxiety, likethink about everything packed in the back of your closet; do you own those things or do they own you?” She suggests we train ourselves to make mindful purchases.Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts it, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end I feel good that Ive made something.”1、How would people raised in the 1940s deal with broken home appliances?ASell them at a lower price. BPress the button to find the fault.CRepair them to last longer. DDonate them to recycling stations.2、What does Bennett say about her work?AShe likes the good food people bring for her work.BHelping make repairs means saving resources.CShe will set up her own Repair Cafe soon.DShe learned to repair jewels after she retired.3、Which of the following best explains “conscientious” underlined in Paragraph 2?AResponsible. BGenerous.CPowerful. DIrreplaceable.4、What good does Lazarovic think less shopping will do to us?AItll make us less anxious about used things at home.BItll force us to make donations of unwanted things.CItll lead us to explore the world more responsibly.DIt will provide us more time for beneficial events.23（8分）How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Lets hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).So, now you know what style is, youll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. Theyre great if you want exclusive labels but dont want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But dont worry, Leila Gray can help you here. Shes the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for 20-a good deal when you realize it cost more than 800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “Thats where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and theres a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style-something thats really you. Thats what Scottish musician Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you cant be attractive, aim for interesting or original.” Momus unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and its more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aokis idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe its time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but dont make yourself a clone mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!1、What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you?AFollow the images of the wise people. BGo for whatever is fashionable.CSimplify complicated expressions. DFigure out what a true style is.2、What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AGetting clothes of leading brands. BBuying clothes at rather low prices.CSearching for really good bargains. DStarting a charity shop selling clothes.3、What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?ACommercialization of fashion magazines.BExpression of something personal and creative.CDesigning fashionable wear for men in the street.DPromoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.4、What is probably the best title for the passage?AHow to find the style that suits you BWhere to pick up a bargainCWhat to wear to develop your style DWhom to model to be popular24（8分） On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that hes tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lionsespecially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenyas national parks to try to have a look at thebig five; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenyas wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1、How did Kasaine track lions?ABy working together with tourists.BBy running after them all the time.CBy going to school every day.
