2．When Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains，I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake，with a warm fireplace，hot cocoa，and soft beds．But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother，Leo，showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment-tents，sleeping bags，and water bottles，We were going on survival training!
The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry．Several hours later，as we drove through the forest，the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered；the trees were larger，and the environment felt more threatening．
At the trailhead，Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules．Then，with Leo in the lead，we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain．
After 6 hours of climbing，we finally reached the top．My legs aching，I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest． "We need to set up camp quickly，" said Leo．" There are dark clouds coming in．A storms on its way．"
I thought he was kidding，but Leo was quite serious．He and Allen worked expertly，while I stood around and pretended to help，thunder rumbling in the distance．We just finished putting up the tents when it hit．The wind，thunder，and lightning were relentless．
Leo，sensing that I was scared，started telling us some stories about his camping adventures．But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed，I jumped． "Don't worry．Summer storms pass quickly，" Leo said trying to comfort me． "And at least the rain will keep the bears away，" he said with a teasing smile，which was less comforting．
And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in，it passed，and we exited the tent．The view was incredible - I could see for miles．As darkness set in，I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky．
I won't lie - I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed，but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way，I knew this was an adventure I would never forget．

（2）Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top？
A．It was almost night time．
B．The weather was changing．
C．They were tired and needed to rest．
D．They needed protections from animals．

A．He had known the writer for a long time．
B．He was inconsiderate of other's feelings．
C．He was an experienced and capable hiker．
D．He had not been to this mountain before．

3．Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．
A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．
To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （認(rèn)知的） testing since they were 3 years old．
When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains．
This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （癡呆） to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．
We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．
（1）What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？
A．One's health condition．
B．A test result at the age of 3．
C．The actual age of one's brain．
D．A machine for medical check．
（2）What is the purpose of Elliott's research？
A．To find out why people look older or younger．
B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．
C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．
D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．
（3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．The findings of the brain research．
B．The procedure of Elliott's study．
C．The information about volunteers．
D．The influence of cognitive tests．
（4）What do the findings of the research imply？
A．People suffering dementia can go on working．
B．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．
C．We should test our brain age earliest possible．
D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．組卷：8引用：1難度：0.6
