| 第2题：{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as early as the 20s and 30s. "Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us have imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years," saidDr. Gary Small, the director of theCenter onAging at the University ofCalifornia, LosAngeles. "I’m convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program," he addeD、 In his book, "The MemoryBible," the 51-year-old neuroscientist lists what he refers to as the 10 commandments for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, minimizing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle. It’s a game plan for keeping brain cells sparking and neural networks in tip-top shape. "Misplacing your keys a couple of times doesn’t mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back," he saiD、 Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack.According to him, simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as look, snap and connect are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. "So if you want to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs.Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a prominent eyebrow," said Small. "You associate the first thing that comes to minD、 I think of the actor WarrenBeatty so I create a mental snapshot of WarrenBeatty kissing her brow. " Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. " Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing", he addeD、 He also recommends physical exercise, a low-fat diet and eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, walnuts andBrazil nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) including blueberries and onions in addition to reducing stress. |
| 第3题：After flexing its mechanical arm and finding some puzzling chemistry in a patch of Martian soil,the robotic rover Spirit began investigating the composition of a rock namedAdirondack yesterday with two science instruments and a microscopic camer A、 Following programmed instructions from flight controllers, the six-wheel rover made several short turns and moved forward about six feet. It stopped within inches of the pyramid-shaped rock, about the size of a football. It was the vehicle’s second maneuver on the Martian surface since landing there on Jan. 3. Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,Calif., said they did not expect results of the first rock examination until early today.But they were already both pleased and puzzled over the soil test results. "We’re starting to put together a picture of what the soil at Gusev is really like,"Dr. Steven W. Squyres ofCornell, the principal scientist of the mission, said at a news conference in Pasaden A、He was referring to the Spirit’s landing site in Gusev crater, near the Martian equator. Two of the Spirit’s main science instruments, the M6ssbauer spectrometer and the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, made a close examination of soil near the landing base. German scientists in charge of the studies reported that X-rays emitted by the surface soil indicated a chemical composition mainly of silicon and iron, with smaller amounts of sulfur, chlorine and argon.Argon is a noble gas that is part of the Martian atmosphere. Previous Martian sites visited by landing craft also contained significant amounts of sulfur and chlorine. Other members of the project’s science team said the M6ssbauer spectrometer found considerable amounts of the mineral olivine in the soil. Olivine, which contains oxygen, iron and magnesium, is often found in volcanic rocks. The Martian soil may resemble the volcanic soil of Hawaii. "One possibility is that this soil is simply ground-up lava,"Dr. Squyres saiD、"That would surprise me, but it’s entirely possible that beneath .those grains there is solid rock and we are detecting some of that solid rock, not the s0il." Another property of the soil perplexed geologists. The fine grains of the Gusev surface seem to stick together in dry clumps. Geologists suspected static electricity as the clinging force. If so, they said, the soil should collapse and flatten out when the M6ssbauer spectrometer pressed against the grounD、Nothing collapsed, leadingDr. Squyres to ask what force was. responsible for holding them together. The last paragraph is mainly aimed at ______. A、explaining the nature of the fine grains of the Gusev surface B．discussing what force was responsible for holding them together C．presenting the perplexion of the geologists on the existence of the static force on the Mars D．introducing the main points of view on the static force on the Mars |
