20、八、BText 1/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)People who are extremely careful and “finish what they start“ may have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimers disease, according to a study involving Catholic nuns and priests.The most conscientious and self-disciplined individuals were found to be 89% less likely to devel

21、op this form of dementiadeterioration of intellectual faculties, such as memory, concentration, and judgment, resulting from an organic disease or a disorder of the brainthan their peers over the course of the 12-year study.Robert Wilson at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, US, an

22、d colleagues followed 997 healthy Catholic nuns, priests and Christian brothers between 1994 and 2006. Early on in the study, participants completed a personality test to determine how conscientious they were.Based on answers to 12 questions such as “I am a productive person who always gets the job

23、done“, they received a score ranging from 0 to 48. On average, volunteers scored 34 points in the test.Volunteers also underwent regular neurological examinations and cognitive tests. Over the lifetime of the study, 176 of the 997 participants developed Alzheimers disease. However, those with the hi

24、ghest score on the personality test40 points or abovehad an 89% lower chance of developing the debilitating condition than participants who received 28 points or lower.“These are people who control impulses, and tend to follow norms and roles,“ Wilson told New Scientist.Previous studies suggest that

25、 exercise and intellectual stimulation can decrease the risk of Alzheimers disease. But the link between self-discipline and a reduced risk of the illness remained strong even after researchers discounted these factors from their study. Subjects still had a 54% lower chance of developing the conditi

26、on.Exactly why conscientiousness should have an impact on Alzheimers risk remains unclear, says Wilson. He notes that brain autopsies conducted on 324 of the studys participants failed to resolve the mystery.Earlier work has linked the presence of plaques and protein tangles within the brain to Alzh

27、eimer. Yet, in general, the brains of those who scored highly on the conscientiousness test had as many plaques and protein tangles as those of subjects who scored lower.Wilson suggests that more careful and conscientious individuals may have more active frontal brain regions, an area that is respon

28、sible for decision-making and planning. Increased activity in this region may perhaps compensate for a decline in function in other brain regions, he speculates. Based on the new findings, doctors could perhaps consider certain patients at greater risk of dementia, says Ross Andel at the University

29、of South Florida, US. “This is a study about identifying people at risk,“ he says.（分数：5.00）(1).How did the study evaluate every participants sense of responsibility? A. Through a 12-year observation. B. On a neurological examination. C. By a cognitive test. D. By asking a group of questions.（分数：1.00

31、t Wilson at Rush University? A. He and his co-workers followed 997 healthy Catholic nuns, priests and Christian brothers within 12 years. B. He hasnt yet found out the underlying reasons why conscientiousness has an impact on Alzheimers risk. C. He suggests that people with more active frontal brain

He thinks that increased activity in frontal brain regions may compensate for a decline in function in other brain regions.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).This study aims to A. help Catholic nuns and priests fight against Alzheimer. B. explore the possible causes

33、 of dementias risk. C. find out who are at risk of developing a form of dementia.

34、 C. Responsibleness. D. Spontaneousness.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)It is interesting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and the United States. Americans divide these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and f

35、lesh, the two being in opposition in the tire of a human being. Ideally spirit should prevail but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the other as evil. They believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is

36、the “gentle“ soul, the other is the “rough“ soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul. Sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul, neither does he fight his rough soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to

37、 fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling ones obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides

38、the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a persons obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending upon

39、the area in which it is functioning.The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. Indeed, one may say it begins at birth. Early is the Japanese child given his own identity! If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one su

40、ccinct word-“ respect“. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed from the moment he is put to his mothers breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.Rewards are frequent, a bit of candy bestowed at the right moment, an inexpensive toy. As the time comes

41、 to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim or all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, an

42、d continually practiced until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the eiders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tempered to the childs tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on, but certai

43、nly it is increasingly inexorable.Now, far away from that warm Japanese home, I reflect upon what 1 learned there. What, I wonder, will take the place of the web of love and discipline which for so many centuries has surrounded the life and thinking of the people of Japan?（分数：4.00）(1).The authors pu
