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.32. 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. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study33. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_. A. say language is also a kind of physical labor B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well34. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _. A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner35. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _. A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables. 36 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time. Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five minute break in the middle. 37 Ideal(理想的) study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 38 Youll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After youve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing. 39 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair. 40 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A.Pick a place where your children can study properly.B.Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C.Finally，spend time with your kids when theyre studying.D.Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too.E.Instead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F.Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G.One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to. 第3部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20 小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Some of the greatest problems we face today are connected with the gradual destruction of our environmentBrown clouds；wildlife extinction； 41 waterThese 42 all seem so hugeSo my family does what we can We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags We walk where we dont have to 43 But does it do any good？ I recently learned something about flamingos（火烈鸟）These beautiful birds gather in 44 groups of a thousand or moreEvery year，when the time 45 for migration，a few flamingos start the process by taking off from the lakeBut 46 of the others seem to notice，so the tiny group returns However，the next day they 47 again.This time a few more struggle along with them， but the vast majority still 48 no attention，so these pioneers come back The 49 continues for several more daysEvery time a few more birds join in but， 50 the thousands of others still take no 51 ，the great migration plan is once again 52 Then one day something 53 .The same small group of birds takes wing and a tiny number more join in，just as beforeAnd this time their total number， though still quite 54 ，is enough to tip the balance (起作用)As one，the whole group takes flight and the migration 55 .What a 56 sight it must be -thousands of flamingos taking to the sky at once!
