Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping.

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 math 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.9. The 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 math study10. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.A. a researcher on language learningB. a person who can speak two languagesC. a second language learnerD. an active language learner11. 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 time.【答案】9. C 10. B 11. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。【9题详解】主旨大意题。作者在第一段中就提出了本文的主题，然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入地阐述，即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。故选C。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据本词前后的解释“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.”，他们被比作一群“早期双语者”，他们在五岁之前就学会了第二语言，还有后来的许多学习者。可知其意思应是“a person who can speak two languages”。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段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.可知，我们可能从科学发现中知道，越早开始学习第二语言，智力密度越高。故选A。【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本题第小题，作者在第一段中就提出了本文的主题，然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入地阐述，即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。故选C。DTomato FestivalStarted in 2005, the Tomato Festival has grown into a local tradition in Malta.

C【解析】试题分析：本文主要叙述一位小姑娘梦想成真，感知幸福的故事。小姑娘梦想住在一处好房子里，人们都在寻梦，其实幸福就在自己的不远处，甚至就在自己的眼底下，而自己却浑然不知。【21题详解】C考查情态动词。利用语境解题。本题的提示词是usually, 根据语境这里应该表示一个小女孩的个人习惯，句子的意思是：通常她会在那个小花园里玩耍。would表示“过去常常”。故选C。【22题详解】B考查连词。根据句间逻辑关系解题。主句是she desired to live in such a house, 从句是she loved her parents and her family, 主句和从句的关系应该是让步关系，虽然她深爱着自己的父母和家人，但还是渴望住在那栋房子里。所以选择Although。【23题详解】A考查动词。dream about梦想；be worried about担忧；ask about询问；shout大喊，不与abut连用。利用语境解题。desired to live in such a house和_ all day about how wonderful and exciting之间是 并列关系。解题关键在于desired, 既然渴望，就会有梦想，所以选择dreamed。 dream about doing sth 梦想做，所以选择dreamed。【24题详解】C考查代词。根据上下文语境解题。本题的解题关键在于介词about 后面的宾语从句how wonderful and exciting _ must be to live there.这个句子如果用陈述句型表达应该是：_ must be wonderful and exciting to live there. 经分析可知，本题考查的是it做形式主语，代替后面的不定式to live there。故选C。【25题详解】D考查形容词。different不同的；scientific科学的；musical音乐的；basic基本的。根据下文提示解题。下文提到恳求妈妈之后才被允许骑自行车围着花园转一转，说明小女孩刚刚学会些基本的（basic）技能和识别力，所以选择D。【26题详解】A考查动词。beg乞求；blam责备；invite邀请；pay支付，付钱。根据生活常识和上下文提示解题。上一段提到desired, dreamed等动词，说明了小女孩渴望的心情，后面有提到 “Her mother finally allowed her to go”,由此可知小女孩“恳请”妈妈答应自己的请求，所以选择A。【27题详解】B考查介词。inside在的里面；outside在的外面；through通过；along沿着。根据下文词汇复现解题。下文提到了keeping close to the house（在房子周边，附近），说明这里表达的是在花园周围骑车。所以答案是B。【28题详
