Section C(2016年6月英语四级卷2试题及答案)Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age，but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27.Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.On the other hand, indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging.The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people’s minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse."These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one’s abilities，may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的)changes in mental function, and involve solving Puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols.In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力)generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s.The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia(痴呆),according to the researchers.“By following individuals over time,” Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline.”The researchers are currently analyzing, the study participants' health and lifestyle. to see which factors might influence age-related cognitive changes.47.What is the common view of mental function?A.It varies from person to person.C.It gradually expands with age.B.It weakens in one’s later years.D.It indicates one’s health condition.48.What does the new study find about mental functions?A.Some diseases inevitably lead to their decline.B.They reach a peak at the age of 20 for most people.C.They are closely related to physical' and mental exercise.D.Some of them begin to decline when people are still young.49.What does Timothy Salthouse say about people's minds in most cases?A.They tend to decline in people’s later years.B.Their flexibility determines one’s abilities.C.They function quite well even in old age.D.Their functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.50.Although people’s minds may function less flexibly as they age, they_____.A.may be better at solving puzzlesB.can memorize things with more easeC.may have greater facility in abstract reasoningD.can put what they have learnt into more effective use51.According to Salthouse, their study may help us_____.A.find ways to slow down our mental decline6.find ways to boost our memoriesC.understand the complex process of mental functioningD.understand the relation between physical and mental health

Scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in complex geographical environments，taking environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring populations of endangered species. For this research，the satellite Worldview 3 used high-quality pictures to monitor African elephants moving through forests and grasslands. The automated（自动化）system detected animals with the same accuracy as humans are able to achieve. The new surveying technique，created by Dr. Olga Isupova at the University of Bath in the UK with some other scientists，allows vast areas of land to be scanned in a matter of minutes，offering a much-needed alternative to human observers counting individual animals from low-flying airplanes. As it sweeps across the land，a satellite can collect over 5，000 km2 of pictures every few minutes，avoiding double counting. Where necessary， the process can be repeated the next day. The population of African elephants has nose-dived over the past century，mainly due to hunting illegally and habitat（栖息地） ruin. With only 40，000-50，000 elephants left in the wild，the species is classified as endangered. "Accurate monitoring is essential if we're to save the species，" said Dr. Isupove. "We need to know where the animals are and how many there are." Satellite monitoring avoids disturbing animals during date collection and ensures humans are not hurt in the counting process. It also makes it simpler to count animals moving from country to country， as satellites can orbit the planet without regard for border controls or conflict. This study was not the first to use satellite pictures and algorithms（计数法）to monitor species，but it was the first to reliably monitor animals moving through a complex environment ---that is，an environment that includes areas of open grassland， woodland and partial coverage. "This type of work has been done before with whales， but of course the ocean is all blue， so counting is a lot less challenging，" said Dr. Isupova. "As you can imagine， a complex environment makes it much harder to identify animals." The researchers believe their work shows the potential of technology to support environmentalists to protect biodiversity and to slow the progress of the sixth mass extinction（灭绝）---the ongoing extinction event caused by human activity.（1）Why did the scientists create the satellite cameras？ ____ A. To count animals in complex environment.B. To increase the number of wild animals.C. To train the skills of observing animals.D. To drive the elephants out of forests in Africa.（2）What can we learn about the new surveying technique？ ____ A. It's individual.B. It's complex.C. It's dangerous.D. It's accurate.（3）What is the condition of African elephants？ ____ A. They are rapidly increasing.B. They are in diversity.C. They are rapidly reducing.D. They are in balance.（4）What would be the best title for this passage？ ____ A. Making the Satellite Worldview 3 for Biodiversity.B. Using Satellite to Monitor Endangered Species.C. Supporting Hunting with new Technology.D. Introducing Dr. Olga Isupova at the University of Bath.

Are some people born clever， and others born stupid？ Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences？ Strangely enough， the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth， and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand， a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth， but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view， now held by most experts， can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people， the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random （随机地） from the population，it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical（完全相同的）twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters， parents and children， usually have similar intelligence， and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one，for example， to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing， and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other， but who are not related at all， are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.（1）In Para. 1， the word "surroundings" means ____ .A.intelligenceB.lifeC.environmentsD.housing（2）According the passage， if a child is born with low intelligence， what might happen to him later？ ____ A.Become a genius.B.Still become a genius if he should be given special education.C.Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.D.Never reach his intelligence in his life.（3）What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory？ ____ A.The importance of their intelligence.B.The role of environment on intelligence.C.The importance of their jobs.D.The part that birth plays.（4）What statement is TRUE according to the passage？ ____ A.No education can help make a genius.B.Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.C.People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.D.Environment influences people in intelligence developing.（5）The best title for this article would be ____ .A.On IntelligenceB.What Intelligence MeansC.We are Born with IntelligenceD.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
