第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you

went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a

forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests

that we’ve 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 hits 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, it’s been assumed that brain, much like the

body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study 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. Specifically, older people did better on tests of

vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words they can remember) and problem solving. Where
