参考答案：D解析：only引导的倒装句的结构是：only+副词/介词短语/状语从句+助动词+句子剩余部分。注意倒装是把助动词提前，而不是把整个谓语提前。同时考虑题的时态和语态。5.—I'dliketo____aroomwithbathforaweek．

lefttheirvillagehomesforabetterlifeinthecity.A．whom B．whichC．them D．those参考答案：A解析：本题考查定语从句引导词。由many之后的逗号和选项特征，此处是主从句关系，排除C、D项。由于先行词是“1,000people”，表示人，故用whom。句意为：这里居住着将近1000人，他们中的许多人都背井离乡去城市追求更好的生活。14.---Whydidn’tTomhavehislunch?It’salreadyoneo’clock.

meaboutit,Iwouldhavegonewithhim.A.shouldtell

B.tells

C.told

D.hadtold参考答案：D考点：考查虚拟语气。句意：约翰独自去了医院。如果他告诉我的话，我会跟他一起去的。解析：前一句是陈述语气，说明动发生在过去，而且后一句的主句已经是wouldhavegone说明是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。与之对应的从句结构，应该用had+过去分词。二、新的题型17.Abriefcourseofbrainexerciseshelpedolderadultsholdontoimprovementsinreasoningskillsandprocessingspeedthatcouldbedetectedaslongas10yearsafterthecourseended,accordingtoresultsfromthelargeststudyeverdoneoncognitivetraining.Thefindings,publishedonMondayintheJournaloftheAmericanGeriatricsSociety,offerwelcomenewsinthesearchforwaystokeepthemindsharpas76millionbabyboomersintheUnitedStatesadvanceintooldage.Thefederally-sponsoredtrialofalmost3,000olderadults,calledtheAdvancedCognitiveTrainingforIndependentandVitalElderlystudy(ACTIVE),lookedathowthreebraintrainingprograms---focusingonprocessingspeed,memoryandreasoningability---affectedcognitively---normaladultsastheyaged.Peopleinthestudyhadanaverageageof74whentheystartedthetraining,whichinvolved10to12sessionslasting60to75minuteseach.Thetrainingcoursewasdesignedtoimprovespecificcognitiveabilitiesthatbegintodeclineaspeopleage.Itdidnotaimtopreventdementia(痴呆)causedbyunderlyingdiseasesuchasAlzheimer’s.Afterfiveyears,researchersfoundthatthosewiththetrainingperformedbetterthantheiruntrainedcounterpartsinallthreemeasures.Althoughgainsinmemoryseenatthestudy?sfive-yearmarkappearedtodropoffoverthenextfiveyears,gainsinreasoningabilityandprocessingspeedlasted10yearsafterthetraining."Whatwefoundwasprettyastonishing.Tenyearsafterthetraining,therewasevidencetheeffectsweredurableforthereasoningandthespeedtraining,"saidGeorgeRebok,anexpertonagingandaprofessoratJohnsHopkinsUniversityinBaltimore,wholedthestudy.Theparticipantsinallthreetraininggroupsalsoreportedthatthetrainingmadeiteasierforthemtododailyactivitiessuchasmanagingtheirmedications,cookingmealsorhandlingtheirfinancesthanthosewhodidnotgetthetraining.Butstandardtestsoftheseactivitiesshowednodifferencesbetweenthegroups."Thespeed-of-processingresultsareveryencouraging,"saidstudyco-authorJonathanKing,programdirectorforcognitiveagingintheDivisionofBehavioralandSocialResearchattheNationalInstituteonAging(NIA),partoftheNationalInstitutesofHealth,whichhelpedfundtheresearch.Kingsaidtheself-reportedimprovementsindailyfunctionwereinteresting,butadded,"Wedonotyetknowwhethertheywouldtrulyallowolderpeopletobeindependentforalongertime."However,theresearcherssaidevenasmallgainwouldbelikelytoeasetheburdenoncaregiversandhealthcareproviders."Ifwedelaytheattackofdifficultiesindailyactivitiesevenbyasmallamount,thatcanhavemajorpublichealthimplicationsintermsofhelpingtocontrolhealthcarecosts,delayingentryintoinstitutionsandhospitals,"Reboksaid.BrainTrainingCoursesKeep___51___SharpBasicinformationaboutthestudy●Thestudywas___52___bythefederalgovernment.●3,000participantsaged74onaveragewere____53____inthetrainingcourse.●Theyweregivencognitivetraining,whose____54____wereprocessingspeed,memoryandreasoningability.Resultsofthestudy●Thetrainingenablestheparticipantstogiveabetter____55____inallthreemeasures.●Olderadultsenjoy___56___ofthetrainingespeciallyinprocessingspeedandreasoningskillseven10yearsafterthetraining.●Accordingtotheparticipants,theyhadless___57___dealingwiththeirdailyactivities.
