第1题
根据以下材料回答第 41～45 题：
Passage Three If you want to stay young , sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner , who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively age , and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain , which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.
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.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction-using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers , followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner’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.”

To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all
that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that
good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end
biomedical research because the theory that animals have rights 【M1】__________
ruling out their usage in research. Leaders of the animal rights 【M2】__________
movement targets biomedical research because it depends on 【M3】__________
public funding, and a few people understand the process of health 【M4】 __________
care research.
Scientists must communicate their message to public in a 【M5】__________
compassionate, understandable way—on human terms, not in the 【M6】__________
language of molecular biology. We need to make it clear the 【M7】__________
connection between animal research and a grandmother's
hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's
vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. Scientists could "adopt"
middle school classes and present their own research. They
should be quick to respond to letters of the editor, lest animal 【M8】__________
rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive
appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to
tours, to show that laboratory animals receive human care. Finally, 【M9】__________
because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health
research community should actively recruit to its cause not
only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who
has made courageous statements about the value of animal
research, and all who receive medical treatment. If good people do 【M10】__________
nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans,Eugene Fama,Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct.14,2013.Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago.Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University.They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars.
"This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions." All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets.They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets.
Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing.His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient,which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time.This also means that over short periods of time,it is not possible to predict prices.
Robert Shiller found,however,that over long periods,the opposite is true.It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior.
The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds,investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk.Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index.That index follows home prices across the United States.
Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information.His method supports Mr Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry.
The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel,but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968.
