haven t time Take them to the other fellow on the main street He ll fix them for you right away But I had my eyes on his shop for a long time Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather I knew he was a skilled craftsman 手艺 人 No I replied The other fellow can t do it well The other fellow was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys They work carelessly and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap 鞋带 you might as well just throw away the pair My man saw I wouldn t give in and he smiled He wiped hands on his blue apron 围裙 looked at my shoes had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said Come back in a week I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf See what I can do he said with pride Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work When I got back out into the street the world seemed brand new to me He was something out of an ancient legend this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly his very strange dusty felt hat his funny accent and his pride in his craft These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line when you can do things any old way as long as it pays when in short people look on work as a path to ever increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done 2 41 Which of the following is true about the old cobbler A He was equipped with the best

equal 参考答案 41 44CAC 44 B 结束 If you think English means endless new words difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation you are wrong Haven t 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 3 The study also found the earlier people learn a second language the greater the effect is A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli from University College London UCL took a group of Britons who only spoke English They were compared with a group of early bilinguals 通两种语言的人 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 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 the ages of 2 and 34 Reading writing and comprehension were all tested The results showed that the earlier they started to learn the better Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world explained the scientists 45 What does the underlined part grey matter in Paragraph 2 refer to A Grey hair B Material of the brain C Intelligence D Difficult situations 46 The experience of learning a second language can A change one s brain completely B improve one s maths skills C make one smarter than others D increase the ability to learn 47 We can learn from the passage that 4 A the researchers from UCL did another study in Italy B a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second language C the research done on the Italians showed a totally different result D it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language 48 What s the main idea of the passage A Learning a second language can help improve your brain power B You should learn a second language that is not your native language C If you want to learn a second language you should do it at a certain age D The research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful 参考答案45 48 BDBA 完形填空 每题 1 5 分 满分 30 分 难度系数 My
