2、 gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain h

3、its its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought. Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest st

4、udy into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise. This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Sp

5、ecifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solvin

6、g and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age. Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancin

7、g their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important

9、 has found older people perform better on _.A.perceptual speedB.number abilityC.vocabulary testsD.body balance3.People are happier with aging because _.A.they learn to value the time leftB.they know how to share feelingsC.they cannot focus on negative aspectsD.they do not realize the possible danger

10、s4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People get happier with age.B.People get wiser with age.C.People get more forgetful with age.D.People get more self-aware with age.答案：1.B; 2.C; 3.A; 4.B解析：1.本题为细节题,根据题干的Barbara Strauch定位在文章第二段第二行,when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get

11、 better with age. In fact, sheargues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s. 文章的意思是当提到重要的事情时,我们的大脑随着年龄的增长会变得更好。实际上,她主 张很多研究已经发现我们大脑的智力水平在40 到60 岁时达到顶峰。所以选B。另外,A、 B、C在第二段均未提及,且与文中主旨不符。2.本题是细节题。根据题干的The continuing research定位到文章第四段 第一行。第二行从It has found开始介绍这个re

12、search的结论,倒数第二行的Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary说特别是,年长的人在词汇测试上做的更好,所以选C。要快速的做这类题要学会快速搜寻有效信息。比如这题,定位到第四段后,要很快找到表示调查研究结论的found 和表示特别强调的Specifically。另外,B、A在第五段第 一行提到,但说的是老人不擅长这两件事,而D文中没有提到。3.本题是细节题,根据题干 happier 定位到文中最后一个单词。向前找关键信息会看到一个but,文中是这么说的but as we get older weve lea

13、rned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy. 意为但是当我们逐渐变老,我们已经经历了很多且下意识的 认识到我们剩下的时间已经不多了,因此快乐对我们而言变得更加重要,所以选A。另外, B 选项与最后一段第二行关键词 found 后面说的不符,文章说的是控制感情而不是分享感 情。C、D项出现在but 之前,说的是年轻人不会出现CD项的内容,不代表老年人就会出现。4.

14、本题是主旨题。根据文章第一段末的转折But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong.对应转折前说的随着年龄的增长人会变得健忘,所以选B。A 选 项跟主旨完全相反,D没有提到。C是最大的干扰项,文末说的是快乐对年长的人很重要,并不是说人就会越来越快乐。2 When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结).
