Why does a woman have the last （and longest） laugh？The answer is that women enjoy a joke more once they get it．If you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look，don't（41）Cdespair．She's just taking her time to understand it．But if the punchline（妙語）does eventually make her laugh it will be（42）Ethe wait．
Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes，they enjoy them more when they truly understand．Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process witty（43）Fand have less expectation that they will be funny．
When a joke does hit the right（44）J，however，women derive more pleasure from it．Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a"funniness scale"．During the process they underwent sophisticated scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it took them to（45）I to a joke．The women tended to use（46）D parts of their brain．Professor Allan Reiss said："We found greater activity in the parts of their brain in women，showing women are processing stimuli that（47）Alanguage areas of the brain．"
The（48）B of a"feelgood"brain region also revealed that men and women have different attitudes to humour．Experts said："Women appeared to have less expectation of a reward．So they were more pleased about it．"The funnier the cartoon，the more the women's parts of their brain lit up．This was not the case for men．The women took（49）H longer than the men to react to jokes that were funny-but were quicker to spot the"truth"．

41．C 考查副詞．根據(jù)后句She's just taking her time to understand it可知，她只是在花時間理解，所以別立即失望．
42．E 考查形容詞．此處是一個固定短語，be worth+名詞，值得…
43．F 考查名詞．根據(jù)句意可知，女性比男性更多使用大腦處理一些詼諧的評論，故選remarks．

12．Canadian scientists have found a method to help aging people get less forgetful by improving their cognitive（認知）abilities through well-designed training．Everyone experiences some degree of memory loss and cognitive decline as they get older．The decline usually becomes noticeable after 50，when people may find it slightly more difficult to focus on tasks，organize everyday jobs and remember how to do things in the right order．
A team of psychologists in Toronto created a strategy of cognitive training to help people preserve these abilities．"Our primary emphasis was on improving the use of general strategic abilities because they are particularly weak to the aging process，"Dr．Donald Stuss，director of the study，said in a press release．The team examined 49 healthy older adults with normal cognitive decline．All of the participants were between the ages of 71 and 87．Over the course of 12 weeks，psychologists taught them methods to improve their strategic abilities．Afterwards，researchers saw a 15 to 40 percent improvement in the memories of all participants．"Over a period of six months their improvement not only maintained，but increased，"said Dr．Gordon Winocur，coordinator of the study．The 12-week course was broken up into three four-week sections，focusing on a different skill involved in strategic abilities：memory，goal management and psychosocial function．
The memory training emphasized how to preserve and recover information，while goal management focused on methods to lower the chance of memory slips．Psychosocial training was aimed at increasing the participants'confidence in their mental abilities．
"We wanted to develop a cognitive training program that would produce improvement over a relatively short period of time，so participants could benefit more on that while they're still functional and slow down the rate of decline，"said Winocur．"If we can work with people in the early stages of cognitive decline，then we can slow down the rate of this decline and help them maintain a higher level of function for a longer period of time．"

71．What can be a suitable title for the passage？D
    A．A new way to develop a good memory．
    B．Cognitive abilities are essential to memory．
    C．Say no to the memory decline．
    D．Canadian scientists help aging people preserve memory．
72．According to the psychologists，what causes the bad memory when a man becomes old？B
    A．Forgetfulness．                      B．General strategic abilities．
    C．Goal management．                    D．Psychosocial function．
73．The underlined word"maintained"means"D"．
    A．weakened       B．changed        C．improved       D．kept
74．How many strategic abilities do the psychologists mainly focus on？B．
    A．Two．          B．Three．        C．Four．         D．Five．
75．From what Winocur said in the last paragraph，we can learn thatA．
    A．Winocur aims to help aging people suffer less from memory loss and cognitive decline
    B．the training can prevent one's memory from declining
    C．the cognitive training program has been proved successful
    D．the earlier they begin the training，the better the result will be．

19．Susan Sontag（1933-2004）was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature．For more than 40years she made it morally necessary to know everything-to read every book worth reading，to see every movie worth seeing．When she was still in her early 30s，publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review，she appeared as the symbol of American culture life，trying hard to follow every new development in literature，film and art．With great effort and serious judgment，Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture．
Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords（格言），but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious，she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture．In"Notes Camp"，the 1964essay that first made her name，she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings，through which she could not have been more famous．"Notes on Camp"，she wrote，represents"a victory of‘form'over‘content'，‘beauty'over‘morals'"．
By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感覺論者），but by nature she was a moralist（倫理學者），and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s，it was the latter side of her that came forward．In"Illness as Metaphor"-published in 1978，after she suffered cancer-she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities（被壓抑的性格），a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease．In fact，re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit．
In America，her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California，won the National Book Award in 2000．But it was as a tireless，all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame．
"Sometimes，"she once said，"I feel that，in the end，all I am really defending…is the idea of seriousness，of true seriousness．"And in the end，she made us take it seriously too．

64．The underlined sentence in paragraph l means SontagD．
A．was a symbol of American cultural life
B．developed world literature，film and art

B．her lifelong watchword：seriousness
C．publishing books on morals
D．enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing
67．From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s，we can learn thatA．
A．she was more a moralist than a sensualist
B．she was more a sensualist than a moralist
C．she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness
D．she would like to re-examine old positions．
