【正文】 uestions．The work is weled by Deafness Research UK, the country’s only medical research charity for deaf people．Vivienne Michael, chief executive of Deafness Research UK．says, This is an important advance that paves the way toward a clear understanding of the genetics of deafness．The charity will continue to support cullingedge（尖端的）research through its Fellowship programme at the UCI．Ear institute and at other top research centres in the UK to achieve our goal of securing audical improvements in the prevention,diagnosis and treatment of all forms of hearing impairmentThere are nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK and in most cases deafness results from loss of sensory cells in the inner ear known as hair, cells．The cells can be images and lost through ageing, noise, genetic defects and certain drugs and, because the cells don’t regenerate, the result is progressive and irreversible hearing loss ．Damage to these cells can also lead to tinnitus（耳鳴）,which affects around five million people in the UK.31. A person who is hard of hearing is_____.A. not able to hear properlyB. totally deaf form birthC. unwilling to listen to othersD. ignorant of how the ear works32. Quite a number of genetic techniques have been used_____.A. to target how the ear worksB. to study the fruit flyC. to stimulate sensory cellsD. to amplify sound signals33. Fruit files and humans share similarities in how they_____.A. ask and answer questionsB. pass on their genesC. reproduceD. convert sound into nerve signals34. Vivienne Michael from Deafness Research UK highly appreciates_____.A. the genetics of deafnessB. the charity’s Fellowship programmeC. improvements in treating hearing impairmentD. the latest research conducted by ．35. Hearing loss caused by damage to the sensory cells_____.A. can affect five million people in the UKB. can be progressively repairedC. cannot be curedD. cannot lead to tinnitus第二篇 Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ ScoresYoung adults who are fit have a higher IQ and are more likely to go on to university, reveals a major new study carried out at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.The results were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).The study involved million Swedish men doing military service who were born between 1950 and 1976. The research group analyzed the results of both physical and IQ tests the youngsters took right after they started serving the army.The study shows a clear link between good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test. The strongest links are for logical thinking and verbal prehension. But it is only fitness that plays a role in the results for the IQ test,and not strength. “Being fit means that you also have good heart and lung capacity and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen ,” says Michael Nilsson, professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy and chief physician at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. “This may be one of the reasons why we can see a clear link with fitness, but not with muscular strength . We are also seeing that there are growth factors that are important.”By analyzing data for twins, the researchers have been able to determine that it is primarily environmental factors and not genes that explain the link between fitness and higher IQ.“We have also shown that those youngsters who improve their physical fitness between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance,”says Maria Aberg, researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy and physician at Aby health centre. “This being the case, physical education is a subject that has an important place in schools, and is an absolute must if we want to do well in maths and other theoretical subjects.”The researchers have also pared the results from fitness tests during national service with the socioeconomic status of the men later in life. Those who were fit at 18 were more likely to go into higher education, and many secured more qualified jobs.36. The researchers in this study e from _______.A. Aby health centreB. the Swedish armyC. the National Academy of SciencesD. a Swedish university and its affiliated hospital37. Which of the following is an implication of physical fitness ?A.
