山西阳城县2016中考英语（二轮）阅读理解训练及答案【基础能力测试】【实战训练】 A阅读理解 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.1The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second languageB. mans ability of learning a second languageC. that language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study2The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner3 We may know from the scientific findings that _.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time4In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC.

The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.可知学习第二语言越早，灰质密度越大。故选A。4B段落大意题。根据文章大意，作者在最后两段继续阐明其中心论点，即外语学习宜早不宜迟。可知故选B。【难度】一般阅读理解 Look at the cat on the left.
