Individuals showing poor balance on one leg should receive increased attention, as this may indicate an increased risk of brain diseases and cognitive (认知的) decline，” said Dr Tabara, associate professor at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan.‎ The study, published in the journal Stroke, consisted of 841 women and 546 men, with an average age of 67. To measure oneleg standing time, they stood with their eyes open and raised one leg. The maximum time for keeping the leg raised was 60 seconds. The participants performed the examination twice and the better of the two times was used in the study analysis.‎ The researchers found that the inability to balance on one leg for longer than 20 seconds was associated with brain diseases without symptoms. Overall, those with brain diseases were older and had high blood pressure than those who did not have such diseases.‎ Short onelegged standing time was also linked with lower cognitive score. Although previous studies have examined the ‎ connection between physical abilities and the risk of stroke, this is among the first studies to closely examine how long a person can stand on one leg as an indication of their overall brain health.‎ Dr Tabara and his team also found a strong link between struggling to stand on one leg and increased age. ‎ 语篇解读：一项新研究发现，通过一个人单腿站立的时间长短能够推断出其患中风风险的大小以及认知能力是否下降。‎ ‎5．Dr Tabara suggested that one who couldn't stand on one leg for more than 20 seconds________.‎ A．try to improve his physical abilities B．receive medical treatment for brain diseases C．be given special attention to prevent accidents D．be examined for other symptoms of brain diseases 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，研究发现单腿站立时间不超过20秒的人可能有更大的得脑部血管疾病的风险；根据第三段第二句可知，Tabara教授建议单腿站立平衡性差的人应当受到更多的关注，因为这类人患脑部疾病和认知能力下降的风险很大。‎ ‎6．Which of the following factors might decrease oneleg standing time according to the text?‎ a．Heart diseases.　　　　　 B．Cognitive decline.‎ c．High blood pressure. D．The aging process.‎ e．Brain diseases.‎ A．a, b, d B．a, c, d C．b, c, e D．b, d, e 解析：‎ 选D　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句、第六段第一句和第七段可知，单腿站立时间短与脑部疾病(e)、认知能力的降低(b)以及年龄增长(d)有关，故选D项。‎ ‎7．What can we learn about the study from the fourth paragraph?‎ A．It was led by Dr Tabara.‎ B．It included more than 1,300 people.‎ C．It examined people of different age groups.‎ D．It required the participants to close their eyes first.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“consisted of 841 women and 546 men”可知，这项研究共有1 387人参与，故B项正确。‎ ‎8．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A．Overall Brain Health Deserves Close Attention B．Brain Diseases Without Symptoms Require Attention C．Can't Stand on One Leg? You May Be at Risk of Stroke D．Can't Keep Your Balance?

Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of works. Focus on words that ‎ give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as a, the, and, etc.‎ Scan for keywords.‎ Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for — a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word — you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. __3__ The information you are looking for should pop out at you.‎ ‎__4__‎ You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. __5__ Do not count the words, just the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write “15 min/6.5 pages.”‎ A．Then, run your eyes rapidly over the text.‎ B．Race the clock.‎ C．Check your comprehension.‎ D．If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your reading speed down.‎ E．Here are some speed reading techniques.‎ F．One of the reasons why you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying.‎ G．When the timer goes off, check to see how far you have got.‎ ‎1．‎ 选E　上文提到速读不仅能提高阅读理解能力，还能缩短学习时间，下文则介绍了几个提高速读技巧的方法，由此可知，E项(下面是一些速读技巧)符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选E项。‎ ‎2．选D　本段主题是阅读时要按词组阅读，而不是按照单个词。设空后提到“reading groups or chunks (大量) of words at one time，”且However表转折，因此，设空处应指按照单个词来读。故D项(如果你一个词一个词地阅读，就会使阅读速度放慢)符合语境。‎ ‎3．选A　本段主题是扫读关键词，A项(然后，快速浏览原文)与主题一致，且承接前一句“To scan, first ...”故选A项。‎ ‎4．选B　根据其他标题的格式可将答案锁定在B、C两项；根据本段第一句中的关键信息“by timing yourself as you go”可知，本段主要是介绍阅读计时的。故选B项。‎ ‎5．选G　上文提到设定一个15分钟的时间段，像平常一样阅读，G项(当时间到了，检查一下完成了多少)符合逻辑。故选G项。‎
