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 younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is. 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 was. 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.”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 2 and 34. 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. 1. The main subject talked about in this passage is _. A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second language C. findings that language learning can help brain power D. 1anguage learning and maths study2. The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to _. A. say language learning is also a kind of physical labor B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language C. show the importance of using it when you learn a language D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well3. 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 language C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brain D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time4. The underlined word“bilinguals” probably means _. A. researchers on language learning B. people who are good at learning foreign languages C. people who can speak two languages D. active language learners四、短文改错下面短文中共有10处错误，每句最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 I am so exciting that I cant wait to share with you what I experienced today. I gave my first lesson in our school, which left me the deep impression. When I entered into the classroom, my students began to make much noise. I stood on the platform, not know what to do next. But soon I realized everything must be done. I asked the kids that they liked English songs. They all say “Yes.” I sang a song I had practiced many times. To my great surprise, all the kids turned their attentions to my class.From this experience I know however happens, we must stay calmly first and find a wise solution.五、书面表达为了提高同学们处理突发事件的能力和自救的能力，你校决定举办一场地震知识讲座，并观看相关录像。假设你是校学生会主席，请你以学生会名义用英语写一则书面通知（写通知时间为2012年10月23日）时间：2012年11月12日，星期一，上午8:00地点：学校礼堂内容: 学习有关地震中逃生的知识，并观看相关录像演讲人：著名地质学家王教授要求：全体学生按时参加；认真听讲，记好笔记；报告会后进行讨论注意：1. 内容要完整，不要逐字翻译以上提示； 2词数100左右。 3参考词汇：地震学家 geologistNOTICEOctober 23rd, 2012In order to help students deal with emergencies and save themselves, _ _ Students Union答案与解析一、单项选择1. B。句意：从童年起，我就梦想着家乡的冬天下一场大雪。此处为there be句式的变形。介词of后要接“名词/代词/动名词”，而不能接从句，所以B项正确。2. D。第一空admitted后面应该用动名词，排除A和C两项，第二空promising是现在分词作状语，与其逻辑主语little Tom之间是主动关系，据此选D项。3. A。need表示“需要”时，后面接动名词的主动形式表示被动含义，或接不定式的被动形式，即need doing或 need to be done。当“几分之几+of+名词”结构作主语时，一般应根据of后的名词的单复数决定谓语动词的单复数。根据“the buildings”可知应用need。因此A项正确。4. B。空格前的as为介词，其后的动词应用其动名词形式。句意：童年时像吃蔬菜这样简单 的事也许后来会帮助你预防严重的疾病。5. D。mean doing sth.表示“意味着”，mean to do sth.表示“打算做某事”，结合语义可排除A、C两项；common interests的意思是“共同的兴趣爱好”，符合语义。6. C。此处谓语动词avoid跟动名词作宾语，类似的动词与词组还有enjoy, suggest, imagine, consider, dislike, risk, insist on, get used to, cant help等，据此选C项。7. D。句意：对于是否停服使他长胖的药物，他感到很茫然。at a loss为固定用法，意为“茫然，不知所措”；quit (停止，放弃)后要接doing sth.作宾语。8. A。根据句子结构可知，it在句中作形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语，由此可以排除B、C两项；根据语义可知，you与defeat是动宾关系，即要用被动形式，由此可以排除D项，故选A项。9. B。句子缺少主语，所以此处用动名词作主语，其他选项都不能充当主语，所以这里选B项。10. B。句意：他就是去年11月份被指控尾随一名18岁的女孩子进入一家饭店的洗手间并抢劫了她的手提包的那位官员。accused.作the official的定语，相当于who was accused：accuse sb. of doing sth.意为“指控某人做某事”，故答案为B项。11. A。句意：人们认为他在过去的几年里在那个偏远的地区为植树所花的时间和付出的努力是非常有价值的。题干中he has devoted during the past few years in that remote area为定语从句，先行词是The time and effort，将先行词代入定语从句后为：He has devoted the time and effort to planting trees in that remote area during the past few years由此可知答案为A项。12. B。句意：Shelly喜欢购物吗?哦，与在大街上闲逛相比，她更愿意花时间在家里读书。根据would rather do than do句型，可知第二空应该用wander，故排除C、D两项；另外，根据“spend+一段时间(+in)+doing sth.”，可知第一空需用reading，故答案为B项。13. A。句意：你最好把头发剪短，我们学校不赞成学生留长发。approve常与of连用表示“同意，赞成”，approve of中of是介词，故后面需使用wearing，students和wearing一起构成介词的复合结构。14. C。句意：尽管山区生活条件艰苦，徐本禹仍然把他所有的精力都用在教不同年龄的学生身上。考查devote ones energies to doing sth.表示“把某人所有的精力用在做某事上”。having taught表示“已经教成”，不符合题意。15. B。句意：他从来没有梦想过他这么快就有机会被派出国。考查there be句型的非谓语形式。there be句型的非谓语形式有两种：there to be；there being。因为在本句中there be位于介词of之后，所以选there being的形式，等同于介词后要用- ing的用法。如：We want there to be a meeting to discuss the question. 我们希望召开一次会议来讨论这个问题。因为want后面要加不定式，所以用there to be的形式。16. D。句意：那个科学家因为对国家作出了巨大的贡献而被政府授奖。having made是动名词的完成式，表示该动作先于主句的谓语动词was rewarded完成。二、完形填空本文是一篇记叙文。一次考试的失败使“我”感到失望，产生了消极思想。但在一次网上聊天时，一位盲人网友乐观的生活态度和取得的成绩，彻底改变了“我”对生活的态度，使“我”意识到生活为我们提供了很多创造美好生活的机会。1. C。由and可以看出，该词应和前面的disappointment一致，所以用negative(消极的)。2. B。由语境可知，“我”在网上遇到了很多朋友，但是其中一个尤其突出。stand out 意思是“明显，突出”，符合句意。3. D。由语境可知，作者是在网上和朋友聊天(chat)。4. A。由下一句and felt the whole world had closed its door to him以及下一段的第一句I couldnt believe he was blind！可知，这位网友是位盲人，丧失了视力(eyesight)。5. C。这四个词中只有一个与人的视力有关，type(打字)要用眼睛看。句意：他打字的速度是如此快，以至于我都不相信他是一位盲人。6. B。对应上文的type，所以应选择write(写)。7. D。由语境和常识可知，这里指的是他通过阅读海伦凯勒的故事，了解了她的生活，还有作为盲人所遇到的困难(hardships)，从而使自己深受启发。 8. A。her life和mine都是该网站的内容，是并列关系，所以选择as well as(也)。9. B。由语境可知，意思是网站制作得很好(well produced)，内容呈现(present)得生动活泼。10. D。manage to do sth.强调已达到目的或出现了结果，含“成功”之意。try to do sth.意为“试图或尽力做某事”，多表示一种企图或尝试。而网站Three Days to See已经被成功建立，所以应用manage。11. A。be designed for意思是“为而设计的”。“我”在聊天中问他：作为一位盲人，是怎样成功地创建这个网站的呢？他的解释是：使用了专门为盲人设计的软件。12. D。wherever作连接副词，意思是“无论在哪里”，在句中作状语。句意：无论我用光标点到哪里，它都会为我读出来。这里指的是光标点到的地方，所以只能用wherever。13. B。access这里用作动词，意思是“接近”。句意：由于新技术，我们比以前能够做更多的事情，有机会接触更多的信息。14. C。下文介绍了他通过文字聊天说的话，选择words(话)。由于思考问题，所以他犹豫了一下，然后以一个笑脸开始了他的回答。15. A。由于是盲人，所以美好的日子只能靠自己创造。create指创造出原来不存在的东西。而 produce 指生产、制造出产品等；recognize 认可，承认；organize组织，都不符合句意。16. C。句意：现代的高科技给了我做这件事的机会(opportunity)。17. D。由前文他的谈话内容可知，尽管是位盲人，但他对生活的态度是非常乐观的。optimistic指“(性格、态度等)乐观的，对未来充满希望的”。18. A。notbut是固定搭配，意思是“不是而是”。他乐观的生活态度使“我”意识到生活不是给我们提供绝望，而是为我们提供了很多的机会。19. B。由前文可知，网友乐观的生活态度感染了“我”，从而对未来的生活充满了期待(expectations)。20. C。这里指的是网络使“我”体验了不同的生活和经历。experience侧重于指亲身经受或体验某事。 而干扰项suffer指受到损害或伤害。三、阅读理解学习第二语言对大脑有促进作用，可以提高学习者的智力，而且第二语言的学习宜早不宜晚。1 C。作者在本文第一段中就提出了主题，然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入阐述，即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。2. D。作者在第二段中把语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作体育锻炼对强健肌肉的促进作用，也就是说语言学习对大脑有类似的促进作用。再根据“Researchers.changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. ”可知语言学习
