22．（8分）It is said that if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise — and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed
down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on economical faculties. Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die off — was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the contraction normally connected with age — using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain, good blood circulation is through using the brain.” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”
1、The team of doctors wanted to find out ______.
A．the size of certain people's brains
B．how to make people live longer
C．which people are most intelligent
D．why certain people are aging sooner than others.
2、On what are their research findings based?
A．The study of brain volumes of different people.
B．The study of brain volumes of old people.
C．The latest development of computer technology.
D．A survey of farmers in northern old people.
3、The doctors’ tests show that _______.
A．our brains shrink as we grow older
B．the front section of the brain does not shrink
C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D．some people's brains have contracted more than other people's
4、According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A．Lawyers. B．Farmers.
C．Clerks. D．Shop assistants.

24．（8分）When the weather’s hot, do you enjoy a glass of Brad’s Drink while watching your TV made by Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering, and surfing the web using a search engine called BackRub? No? Neither do I. That’s because all these companies have changed their names.
Brad’s Drink is now Pepsi. The mouthful that was Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering has become, simply, Sony. And BackRub is now known as Google. Though I must admit, the idea of a back massage does sound good right
now!
Joking aside, choosing the right name for your start-up is a serious matter. Think of the case of a small Canadian company called Research in Motion, who in 1998 had just developed a high-tech mobile phone that could send emails.
They were torn between names like MegaMail and ProMail. Then they sought the help of consulting firm Lexicon, who specialize in brand names. They had other ideas. They brainstormed words connected to enjoyment and freshness. Someone said.
Lexicon’s boss added two capital letters, and there you have it: BlackBerry was born. Since then it has sold over 33 million handsets to customers around the world. Would it have sold as well if it was called MegaMail? Who knows?
Recently, BlackBerry sales have been overtaken by Android phones and Apple’s iPhone. Lexicon’s founder David Placek is a big fan of simple brand names like those Apple chooses: the iPhone. They l0ok a household word and by putting one letter in font of it, it ends up being game changing.
So, for all you entrepreneurs(企业家)out there, make sure you allow time to develop a catchy and memorable name. Think about what makes your company different. What’s your USP (独特的销售主张) ? Maybe you can reflect that in your name.
What about you? What would you call a company if you had one?
1、Which of the following is the original name of BlackBerry?
A．Brad’s Drink.
B．Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering.
C．BackRub.
D．MegaMail and ProMail.
2、What is Lexicon?
A．A consulting company.
B．A handset company.
C．A drink company.
D．A telecommunication company.
3、What is Lexicon good at?
A．Giving proper names to persons.
B．Giving proper names to a brand.
C．Making Android phones.
D．Making its company different.
4、What would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Art of Designing
B．Apple’s iPhone
C．The Art of Naming
D．Research in Motion
25．（10分）New York City is a world capital in every sense of the word—it's a cultural and economic powerhouse, and arguably the most influential city on the planet. But it wasn't always this way, as the following cities once dominated the world around them.
Djenne-Djenno
In the flood lands of the Niger delta people have been building houses and other structures with clay for centuries. The town of Djenne-Djenno is made entirely out of clay. It was inhabited as far back as 250 BC, and became an important link in the trans-Saharan gold trade(跨撒哈拉黄金交易). Constructed on hills called “toguere”，the city managed to escape the marshy(沼泽的) landscape and annual floods produced by the rainy season. Djenne-Djenno is believed to be one of the earliest settlements in the sub­Saharan region, and is considered by some to be “the typical African City”.
Archeological evidence shows us a continuous human presence in the area up until the 14th century AD, when people moved to the nearby town of Djenne, founded in the 11th century. Further evidence points out that even before the city's construction, the Bozo people were growing wild rice in the region. In the 13th century AD, with King Koumboro's conversion to Islam, its palace transformed into a mosque.
Carthage
Legend has it that Carthage was founded by Queen Dido of the Phoenicians. She fled the city of Tyre located in present-day Lebanon in order to escape the hatred of her brother Pygmalion, who was her rival to the throne. Along with a group of settlers, she traveled a great distance by sea and landed in North Africa, where she met King Iarbas. He offered to give them land in order to build a settlement, but no bigger than the surface covered by the hide(牛皮) of an ox. They cleverly cut the hide into thin strips and were able to enclose a fairly large area of land. On this land, the mighty city of Carthage was built.
These stories are most likely just that, but the fact that the Phoenicians built the city around 760 BC is true. Located in such a good position—in the middle of the Mediterranean, close to Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and a pretty good distance from Egypt—helped make Carthage a leading trade center and military power. The population soon reached half a million citizens and, in order to house them all, buildings were all built five or six stories tall. Carthage was the first city in ancient times to have a centralized sewage system, linking all buildings within the city walls. The most notable of structures among the ruins was the “Thophet”，which is believed to be an altar(圣坛) for child
sacrifice.
Tenochtitlan
Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It was built on an island surrounded by Lake Texcoco deep inside the jungles of Central America. By the time the Spanish conquerors were aware of its existence, the population was around 200，000. This was a city very different from what the Europeans were used to. Founded in 1325 AD, the Aztec capital was joined to the mainland by three causeways(堤道). It was laid out in straight street grids and had enormous pyramids at its center, which were surrounded by the skulls of the dead and ceremonial sculptures.
1、What do we know about the ancient cities?
A．Tenochtitlan was the first city to link all buildings within the city walls using a centralized sewage system. B．Carthage was considered to have played an important role in the trans-Saharan gold trade.
C．There was no doubt that Carthage was founded by Queen Dido of the Phoenicians.
D．According to some people, the city Djenne­Djenno is “a typical African city”.
2、The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．a news report B．a science fiction C．a history book D．a research paper

22、Some people may think I’m crazy when I say “work is rest”. But that’s the way it is — we need to rest. Without rest, we will die. At a minimum, we wo n’t have the energy to work.
Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not
restful, even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the meaning of “rest”.
We should remember that rest means not working, both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s simple. Actual ly, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity to work.
Rest and work always go together. There must be a balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we need rest to work, recognizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest, good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.
5、Which of the following is the best rest according to this passage?
A．Sleeping at home.
B．Drinking or having a smoke with friends.
C．Going to the movies and clubs.
D．Playing cards with family members.
6、We can know from this passage that _____.
A．dogs and cats are smarter than we human beings
B．rest can make us work more efficiently
C．it’s not proper to sleep in the daytime for people.
D．rest is more important than work for people
7、The un derlined word “skimped” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A．added B．connected
C．saved D．developed
