Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, so theyre the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline, said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. object usually colored gray, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.56. The underlined word in the second paragraph means_.A. natural B. great C. obvious D. absolute57. According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category?A. cloud B. sheep C. trees D. goose58. Which of the following statements is true according the article?A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.B. Women stand out at remembering peoples names.C. Women do well in dealing mathematic problems.D. Men excel at typing as many words as possible in the given time.59. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _.A. women live longer than menB. people surveyed are all old C. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive declineD. people taking part in this test came from all over the world60. The author aims to tell us that _.A. womens minds perform better than mensB. mens minds decline more with ageC. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older D. a survey on humans mind decline was done recentlyBMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form - football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.61. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating.C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.62. The underlined word “passion” (Para. 2) could best be replaced by _.A. strong emotion B. depression C. feeling D. astonishment63. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because _.A. it has man-made rules B. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it cant bring people joy and leisure D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods64. A mountain climber must be strong both mentally and physically because _.A. there are no regular man-made rules for him to followB. there is no teamwork and he has to depend on himselfC. his component is not one or several people but the powerful natureD. mountaineering requires the skills practiced year after year65. We know from the passage that _.A. mountaineering has no appeal to peopleB. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps D. a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirtyCFor most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from fraud will be harder. Many governments therefore want to extend high street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs, or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence in their country is on the screen. Other countries have regulators, but the rules of consumer protection differ, as does enforcement. Even where a clear right to compensation exists, the online catalogue customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to extract a refund for a dud purchase.One answer is for governments to cooperate more: to recognize each others rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept. There is, however, an alternative. Let the electronic businesses do the “regulation” themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDAs rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.Consumers will need to use their judgment. But precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than consumers of the normal sort-and the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain noisily when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.66. According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?A. Self regulation by the business.B. Strict consumer protection laws.C. Close international cooperation.D. Government protection.67. In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?A. Refuse to pay for the purchase.B. Go to the seller and ask for a refund.C. Appeal to consumer protection law.D. Complain about it on the Internet.68. In the authors view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world .A. international cooperation would be much more frequentB. consumers could easily seek government protectionC. a good reputation is a great advantage in competitionD. it would be easy for consumers to complain69. We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is _ .A. very quickB. very cautiousC. very slowD. rather careless70. If a customer buys something that does not meet his expectation, what is the advantage of dealing through electronic commerce over the present normal one?A. It will be easier for him to return the goods he is not satisfied with.B. It will be easier for him to attain the refund from the seller.C. It will be easier for him to get his complaints heard by other consumers.D. It will be easier for him to complain about this to the government.D People want action on noise, a recent public meeting in Brisbane showed. Some want technical improvements such as quieter air conditioners or better sound barriers around major roads. Others want tougher laws to restrict noise from building sites or to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs. But the highest priority was a noise complaints system that works.Brisbane City Council receives more complaints about noise than all other problems put together. So it conducted a survey and found that about half its residents are upset by noise in one form or another traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one evening to talk through a range of options. The meeting found the present regulatory system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complainants often feel they are getting the run-round. When the people at the forum were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints. The forum also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances like air conditioners. This even makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer (缓冲) zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas. But there are obvious conflicts. Many people like to have a bar within walking distance if they feel like a drink, but they dont want a noisy pub keeping them awake when they want an early night. Most people want to live near a major road providing good access to other parts of the city, but they dont want the problem of road noise. I was most interested by the proposals aimed at behavioral change. There was strong support for measures to reduce traffic: better public transport, cycleways and footpaths, even charges for road use. Many people optimistically thought industry awards for better equipment would stimulate the production of quieter appliances. It was even suggested that noise from building sites could be alleviated (减轻) if Brisbane adopted daylight saving, thus shifting the working day and providing longer, quieter evenings.71. According to the recent public meeting in Brisbane, what was the first step to take in order to reduce noise pollution?A. Produce quieter air conditioners.B. Provide better sound barriers around major roads.C. Establish a noise complaints system.D. Make stricter laws to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs.72. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the Brisbane residents were satisfied with the present noise regulatory systemB. many people in Brisbane preferred to live near a pub to which they have easy accessC. nearly all the inhabitants in Brisbane were bothered by noise in one form or anotherD. noise pollution is the most serious among pollution complaints in Brisbane73.
