45、sts that the effect of physical activity may be quite large,” John Reilly, a professor at the University of Strathclyde said. The researchers looked at a sample of about 5000 children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children born in the U.K. between 1991 and 1992. When children re

46、ached 11 years old, their daily physical activity levels were measured using an accelerometer（加速器）for three to seven days.

47、he actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite low,” Mr. Reilly noted.

The tests a

48、ssessed the childrens abilities in English, math and science subjects. The results showed that the more children participated in moderate to vigorous physical activity, the higher their test scores were at age 11 in all three subjects. For girls, science scores were most strongly linked to exercise.

49、When children were tested again at age 13, their academic scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they were 11 years old. By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam, each 17-minute-perday increase in physical activity for the boys was linked to an improvement in their scores.

50、 Every additional 12-minute increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased score, especially in the science category.The researchers have called for more studies to look at the possible academic benefits that could be derived if students exercised the recommended 60 minutes

51、 or more a day.32. Whats the study about?A. The influence of exercise on students scores.B. The secrets of students ranking high in class. C. The causes of students participating in sports.D.

52、 do more exercise than at other ages.B. Boys at age 13 get more benefits by doing more exercise.C. Girls science scores are more closely related to exercise.D. More and more students do exercise to improve their scores.34. What does the underlined word “derived” probably mean in the last paragraph?A

53、. Maintained. B. Obtained. C. Concluded. D. Reduced.35. Where does the text most probably appear?A. In a storybook.B. In a fashion magazine.C. In an exercise guide.D.
