B making frequent adjustments
C going through specific training
D taking part in various mental activities
注:考第三段末句。
Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives. The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information, says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging. Most of us dont need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness. Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.
23. The findings of James and other scientists in their work _________.
A remain a theory to be further proved
B have been challenged by many other experts
C are practised by the researchers themselves
D have been generally accepted
注:第三段首句中的theory等同于findings。
这种题型的特点是:在文中抽出一个句子或一个文段,要求分析这个句子或文段在全文结构上的作用。这种题型解法很简单:首先判断句子或文段是在文首、文中、还是文末;然后再按如下规律答题即可。一般情况下,句子或文段在文中不同的位置有不同的作用:在文首,作用多是统领全文、总起全文或引出下文;在文中,作用多是承上启下;在文末,作用多是总结全文。
先要理解所引古籍或名言的含义,现联系说明的内容,看看这两者间有何内在联系,就能领悟其引用的目的了。在说明的开头文段或中间叙述有关的故事,究竟起何作用:
在文章开头叙述故事,其目的往往是为了引起读者阅读的兴趣,或者是为了引出说明对象。
在文章或段落中间叙述故事,往往是为了增强说明文的可读性,同时也为了说明事物的来源或作用。

2 As an illustration, we may take ...
3 Such examples might be given easily.
