【答案】17. A 18. C 19. A 20. C
【原文】M: Scientists in Germany have cast doubt on a previously believed assumption that the processing speed
of our brain starts to decline from the age of 20. Until now, it has been thought that our level of understanding
peaks when we are 20 and declines thereafter. Lead researcher doctor Mischa von Krause, of Heidelberg
University, offered hope to older people who worry about increasing forgetfulness or reduced brainpower. He said
mental abilities were still powerful at the age of 60 and do not decrease before then. The study was based on data
from over 1.1 million people aged between 10 and 80 years old. The results showed that our mental processing
speed remains relatively constant until the age of 60, but does start to decline from our seventh decade. The
researchers said people’s mental processing speed actually increases in their 20s and remains high until 60. Dr. von
Krause said until older adulthood, the speed of information processing in the task they studied hardly changed. He
added that older people do take longer to make decisions, but said this was because we become more cautious and
responsible as we age. The study could cast light on diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
