PartⅢReading Comprehension (45minutes, 30point)

Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose

the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the

square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

Loneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same.

Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow

like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.

The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.

The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.

For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.

Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study .The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The

study found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days .But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%,or two and a half days.

Lonely people become less and less trusting of others .This makes it more and more difficult

for them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject them.

John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study .He says it is important to

recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.

The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.

31. Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people

A. Friendship

B. Happiness

C. Depression

D. Smoking

32. The Framingham Heart Study starting from 1948 ________________

A. expanded its research topics

B. involved 5,000 patients of depression

C. identified loneliness as one key factor for heart disease

D. examined the relationship between loneliness and depression

33. Which of the following is true about the spread of loneliness

A. It leads to a gradual loss of friends

B. It is a common phenomenon among women

C. it is often found in the neighborhood

D. it ruins the relationships between close friends

34. Having a lonely friend, you are more likely to_________________

A. strengthen your friendship

B. develop new friendship

C. increase the sense of loneliness

D. reduce the sense of loneliness

35. According to John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago, loneliness can _____________

A. result in aggressiveness

B. cause people to be overprotective

C. infect social networks

D. push people to the verge of poverty

36. What is the main idea of the passage

A. Loneliness can spread

B. Loneliness is linked to depression

C. Lonely people tend to grow fat

D. Lonely people need more friends

Passage Two

California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall with

high school math and science .we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state –approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online .He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.

California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital one can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive .And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.

The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.

Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90%of the state’s learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.

Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.

California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.

Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.

School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.

37. The Digital Textbook Initiative _______________

A. will probably take effect in six years

B. covers all the high school subjects

C. has been approved by all states

D. is advocated by California state governor

38. The main reason for promoting digital textbooks is to ______________

A. help save money

B. benefit the environment

C. provide interesting materials

D. reduce students’ heavy burden

39. The digital textbooks were approved by ___________________

A. trained teachers

B. content developers

C. Khosla Family

D. CK12 Foundation

40. What is true of CK12 Foundation

A. It produced 16 digital textbooks

B. It paid teachers to write digital textbooks.

C. It is financed by California state government.

D. It makes money through developing digital textbooks.

41. According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks __________________

A. are not likely to have a widespread use

B. will soon replace traditional ones

C, will first be adopted by well-equipped schools

D.are certain to be approved by school districts

Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 for each)

Passage One

Until last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school’s busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia’s bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”—a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.

Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, s ince it doesn’t affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.

Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.

Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren’t always the shortest ones.

There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it’s an environmental win—but if too many of their parents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.

31. The “walking school bus” _____.

A．does not consume fuel

B．aims to keep children fit

C．seldom causes traffic jams

D．is popular with school kids

32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with ____.

A．individual schools

B．school districts

C．teacher

D．parents

33. As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _____.

A．time spent on the way

B．changes in the route

C．kid’s physical strength

D．safety of their children

34. To save money, some schools choose to _____.

A．take the shortest routes

B．shorten the school week

C．give drives better training

D．use fuel efficient buses

35. Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to _____.

A．fierce competition among bus companies

B．more students taking public transportation

C．an increase in carbon dioxide emissions

D．a decrease in the safety of school buses

36. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards busing cutbacks

A．Favorable

B．Critical

C．Objective

D．Indifferent

Passage Two

People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity （长寿）of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then – the gap is growing.

A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).

Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.

One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.

Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.

Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment

of conception; there are more male miscarriages（流产）. In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.

37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs

A．Men’s lifespan remains almost unchanged.

B．Researchers have found the cause of the age gap

C．The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.

D．The age gap was noticed only recently.

38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women’s longer lifespan are ____.

A．diseases and road accidents

B．industrialization and work strains

C．their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcohol

D．their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure

39. According to Paragraph3, which of the following statements is true

A．The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.

B．The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.

C．Female workers are more likely to smoke than make workers.

D．Smoking does not seem to affect women’s longevity.

40. Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled

A．Men’s health is more closely rela ted to their emotions.

B．Though more liable to illnesses, women still live longer.

C．Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill.

D．Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.

41. The word “edge” in Paragraph 6 means “_____”.

A．margin

B．side

C．advantage

D．quality

42. What is the main idea of the passage

A．The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.

B．That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.

C．People are living longer as a result of industrialization.

D．Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life.

Passage Three

Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.

Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.

Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.

The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To

facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.

Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.

43. By “human intervention” (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _____.

A．the reduction of great energy waste in the environment

B．the grasping of straightforward opportunities available

C．acts like turning off lights when no one is in the room

D．the adoption of smart sensing and network technology

44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ____.

A．have to be replaced from time to time

B．contain metals that pollute the environment

C．require automatic recharging

D．are difficult and costly to maintain

45. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that _____.

A．there is energy in the environment to be utilized

B．the cost of using them has been drastically reduced

C．modern data communication consumes little energy

D．their maintenance has been greatly simplified

46. According to the passage, Green Peak _____.

Passage Four

If you haven’t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you’ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary

phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.

While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.

Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.

You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!

Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.

49. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that _____.

A．people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings

B．Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months

C．one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid them

D．the media coined the term “Road Rage” only a few months ago

50. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year _____.

A．drunk driving remained the killer on the highway

B．more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk driving

C．two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive driving

D．41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving

51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving

A．Increasing number of cars

B．Drivers’ stress and anxiety

C．Overcrowded roads

D．Rush hour traffic

52. The word “spell” in Paragraph 3 means”_____”.

A．speak

B．cause

C．describe

D．spare

53. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving

A．Talking while driving

B．Driving fast

C．Yelling at another driver

D．Sounding the horn when passing

54. The last paragraph is intended to _____.

A．tell people how to cope with Road Rage

B．inform people how aggressive drivers could be

C．tell people how to control themselves when angry

D．warn people against eye contact with another driver

Passage Five

In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the “Clever Hans” effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.

Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any “detections” made by the teams thus had to be false.

The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.

When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals—who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying “wolf” at the unconscious signal of their handlers.

How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously “profiled” people being sniffed by a drug, or explosive-detecting dog at an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.

55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans

A．He was as clever as people claimed.

B．He was really good at counting.

C．He could understand human language.

D．He merely responded to human signals.

56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ____.

A．questioned the “Clever Hans” effect

B．discovered the “Clever Hans” effect

C．confirmed the “Clever Hans” effect

D．rejected the “Clever Hans” effect

57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that ____.

A．each search area contained three target scents

B．there was actually no target scent in the search area

C．some target scents may be labeled with a special mark

D．their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper

58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit

A．The location of the false alerts

B．The regularity of the false alerts

C．The number of the false alerts

D．The timing of the false alerts

59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ____.

A．dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs

B．dogs may act in response to their handlers’ bodily sig nals

C．the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success

D．well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers’ signals

60. The author thinks that Dr Lit’s findings _____.

A. should raise our concern in real life

B．may not be useful in real situations

C．should be backed up by further evidence

D．will be widely applied in the near future

Section A

Over the years, we tend to think that unclear technologies and the necessary know-how to ensure nuclear safety have been developed to a level that possibilities for any major nuclear accidents are almost non-existent and if it does happen, it will be controlled in the capable hands of nuclear engineers. However, reality has proved again that you j ust can’t be too careful to handle nuclear energy. We don’t know for sure yet what will be left behind Japan’s nuclear crisis, but it will be certain that it is time to re-examine our nuclear practices and many more efforts need to be made to ensure nuclear safety in the future.

These feelings arise according to the type of work we are doing and our ability to do that work. Work fills many hours of the day and removes the need to decide what one should do. 参考译文：我们应该把工作当成快乐的源泉呢？还是视它为一种负担?大量的工作让人极为不爽，超负荷的工作给人造成巨大压力，甚而积劳成疾。然而，我认为：如果工作量不是很大，即便没什么乐趣，也比无聊空虚对身体健康有益。有时我们从工作中获得慰藉；有时工作给我们带来快乐。这些感觉的产生取决于我们所从事工作的类型以及我们自身的工作能力。工作占去了我们一天当中大部分的时间，也不允许我们需要决定应该做什么。 PartⅦWriting 范文 Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about the problem of environmental protection, for the pollution has brought us so many bad influences.

同等学力英语阅读-知识点真题练习题

阅读知识点四大明显设题原则一、语言简化语言简化是命题专家设置题干与四个选项时所必须遵守的一条重要原则。一般来说，一道题的四个选项不仅长度差不多，用词水平和语法难度也都差不多。此外，答案的文字难度一般低于文章本身，这也是对考生非常有利的一点，有时候甚至还可以通过选项中的答案来帮助理解原文。这是一个普遍的原则，现举例如下：【例1】 Still, Jefferson freed Hemings’s children — though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black solders during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.40. Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from his [A] moral considerations. [B] military experience. [C] financial conditions. [D] political stand. 【解析】文中最后一段的“Washington, ...observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, ...grant his slaves their freedom in his will”明确指出华盛顿给奴隶自由的原因是他们在战争中的勇敢行为，[B]“军事经历”是对其高度地概括。二、关键词替换关键词替换是命题专家使用频率最高的原则。命题专家设置题目以及正确选项时一般都会用同义词或者近义词替代原文某个关键词。命题者有时候还会以和原文意思相同但是遣词造句不同的方式来设计正确答案，即用不同的话把原文的某个句子复述一遍，而错误答案反而往往看上去会与原文差不多，这个时候考生需要仔细阅读加以区别。【例2】 Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real cons traints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William 33. On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree? [A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation. [B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture. [C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world. [D] Larger babies tend to become taller in

Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points) Section A Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,”which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. “In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer e xciting and adventurous .Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,”said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.

Passage Two According to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit. Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased. Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group. Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work cause much bigger fluctuations in glucose (葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking. The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brain’s fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body. Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food” is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply, in general, to humans. And, of course, eating more can make you fat. “Caloric overcompensation following intell ectual work, combined with the fact that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries,” said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. “This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature,” the researcher concluded. 37. The passage mainly tells us that . A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brains B. thinking consumed more calories than resting C. resting more can make people fat D. brain cells need more energy than other cells in the body
