D．Doubtful. 【解題導語】本文為說明文，介紹了一項科學研究，從而得出早期鍛煉對大腦終身有好處的結論。 1．D　考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段內容尤其是第二句“Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least”可知，早期鍛煉似乎對大腦終身有好處，至少對老鼠來說是這樣的。故選D項。 2．C　考查寫作手法。根據(jù)第三段的“Wojtowicz's team divided

10、 80 young male rats into two equal groups...Around four months later...they froze with fear”和第四段的“Two weeks later，the team tested the rats in three situations”可知，本文第三、四段描述了Wojtowicz的研究小組對老鼠進行實驗的過程。C項意為“通過描述過程”，故選C項。A項意為“通過分析原因”；B項意為“通過舉例子”；D項意為“通過展示不同點”。這三項均不符合第三、四段的發(fā)展脈絡。 3．A　考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第二段的“but it s
