16、 couldnt sit still. When she was 6 years old, her day-care group went on a field trip to a gym. Simone loved watching the gymnasts train and performances. She couldnt just watch them, thoughshe had to try their moves. She was so good that one of the coaches sent a letter home with her, inviting Simo

17、ne to take gymnastics classes. Simone loved the classes, and she was excellent at climbing, swinging, jumping, and tumbling(翻筋斗). Though she had a lot to learn, the coaches could hardly keep up with Simone. When one girl performed a standing back tuck(翻折), Simone was sure she could do one too. Her c

18、oach didnt believe her, so Simone tried the trick and made it on the spot. At 9, Simone learned why she couldnt sit still: She had ADHD(多动症). Her brain moved fast and her body did toowhich made it hard for her to concentrate in school but which also made her an amazing gymnast. “The challenges we fa

19、ce help define who we are,” Simone wrote. “My challenge is also my superpower.” Simones superpower would help make her one of the most dynamic gymnasts ever seen. Simone is one of the greatest athletes in history. At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships(AGWC

20、), including the all-around(the total score from competing in all events). She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. Thats the most in world gymnastics history.

A chemistry textbook.D. A sports magazine.CLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know

24、 the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably neednt worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, its quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly,

25、 says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of

26、 the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or dont remember even seeing it, thats far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire exper

27、iences, he says, thats “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend youve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner sa

28、ys, people shouldnt panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You dont have to figure this out on your own. D

29、affner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brains cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. “Read books, go to movies, take on new hob

30、bies or activities that force one to think in novel ways.” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a widely known to boost the brain.28. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A. Totally forgetting how to do on

31、es daily routines.B. Inability to recall details of ones life experiences.C. Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D. Occasionally confusing the addresses of ones friends.29. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A. Check the brains cognitive reserve.B. Stop med

32、ications affecting memory.C. Turn to a professional for assistance.D. Exercise to improve their wellbeing.30. What is Dr. Daffners advice for fight against memory loss?A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.B. Taking medicine that helps boost ones brain.C. Engaging in known memory repair act

33、ivities.D. Staying active both physically and mentally.31. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “boost” in the last paragraph?A. Reduce.B. Benefit.C. Increase.D. Depress.DWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are un

34、avoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are.

35、 Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into th

36、eir music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(视角) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explor

37、e the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we

38、human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children acces

39、s to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.32. According to paragraph 1, students _.A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents

40、 on educationC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science33. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to _.A. compare it with rock musicB. show music identifies a societyC. introduce American musical traditionsD. prove music influences peoples lifestyles34. According

41、 to the passage, the arts and science _.A. explain what it means to be human differentlyB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express peoples feeling in different waysD. approach the world from different angles35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music should be of top education prior
