　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　Are you preparing for a big test？If so，you may want to play some basketball between hitting the books.

　　Doctors are starting to find more and more information

　　that suggests a connection between exercise and brain

　　development.Judy Cameron，a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University，studies brain development.According to her research，it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(血管)，including those in the brain，stronger and more fully developed.Dr.Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better.As she says，“While we already know that exercise is good for the heart，exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”

　　The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies.Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active.Even a little movement can show big results.Margaret Barnes，a scientist，also believes in the importance of exercise.She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies.“Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses.They need to set up a connection between motion(运动)and memory.In this way，as they get older，children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning.”says Margaret.

　　Older people can develop their brains as well.Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short­term memory increase up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week.The exercise does not have to be very difficult，but it does have to increase the heart rate.Also，just like the motion for babies，exercise for older people should not be too simple.Learning some new skills or actions，such as with yoga or tai­chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.For most people，any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful.The main aim is to increase the brain's flow of blood.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

　　【语篇解读】研究发现锻炼身体有助于大脑发育。爱好运动的儿童的大脑要比运动少的儿童的大脑发育得迅速的多，很多小学生产生学习困难的原因是由于儿时缺乏运动引起的。对于老人练习瑜珈、太极拳等运动对大脑也是有好处的。

　　1．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A．How exercise makes people strong.

　　B．How to get good scores on a test.

　　C．How exercise helps the brain.

　　D．How the brain can change.

　　解析：考查主旨大意。只有C项才对文章具有概括性和针对性。D项有一定的干扰性，但根据第一段中的“...cause physical changes in the brain.”可知是大脑内部发生了物理变化，而不是大脑本身发生了变化。

　　答案：C

　　2．According to the passage，what is the connection between exercise and brain development?

　　A．Exercise helps make our blood vessels.

　　B．Physical exercise helps us think better.

　　C．The brain needs special mental exercise.

　　D．The more exercise，the bigger the brain.

　　解析：考查推理判断。根据第二段最后一句可推测B项正确。第一段中的“According to...fully developed.”是说运动可使“血管更坚固，发育更充分”，而不是说运动可以“制造”血管，所以A项错误。文章说的是“身体”锻炼而不是“精神”锻炼，因此C项不正确。

　　答案：B

　　3．The smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is________.

　　A．three hours per week

　　B．40 hours per week

　　C．three hours per day

　　D．40 hours per month

　　解析：考查细节理解。结合最后一段前半部分的“...just three hours a week.”和最后一句可知A项正确。

　　答案：A

　　4．Why is yoga suggested for seniors?

　　A．It does good to the joints of old people.

　　B．It does not increase the heart rate.

　　C．It includes learning new actions.

　　D．It can be done in groups.

　　解析：考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Learning some new skills or actions...”可知C项正确。

　　答案：C

　　Ⅲ.任务型阅读/任务型读写

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Communication Principles

　　(2009·江苏高考)How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate.“Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he ( or she) is the center”．Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them.But every day we experience the centrality of ourselves in communication.A student，for instance，may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment：“I know my teacher doesn't like the fact that I don't agree with his opinions，and that's why he gave me such a poor grade in that class.”The teacher might say the opposite.Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person's view is wrong.

　　The concept of self originates in communication.Through verbal and nonverbal symbols，a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others.You establish self­image，the sort of person you believe you are，by how others think of you.Positive，negative，and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are.Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process.Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people.In a more obvious way，communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share.So，the communication begins with the self，as defined largely by others，and involves others，as defined largely by the self.

　　Communication occurs almost every minute of your life.If you are not communicating with yourself( thinking，planning，reacting to the world around you)，you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior.Even if the other person did not intend a message for you，you gather observations and draw specific conclusions.A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message.A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you.A third person smiles (perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you.We are continually picking up meanings from others' behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them.

　　More often than not，you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that.You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement.You may have made a joke out of your rude statement.Nonetheless，your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind.You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others.Communication cannot be reversed (倒退)，nor can it be repeated.When you tried to re­create the atmosphere，the conversation，and the setting，nothing seemed right.Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results.
