1 徐州市徐州市 20142014 高考英语一轮完形填空和阅读理解基本训练 高考英语一轮完形填空和阅读理解基本训练 8 8 附答案 附答案 If 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 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 is 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 in 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 2 and 34 Reading writing and comprehension were all tested The results showed that the younger they started to learn the better they will do it Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world explained the scientists 65 The main subject talked about in this passage is A science on learning a second language 2 B man s ability of learning a second language C language can help brain power D language learning and maths study 66 We may know from the scientific findings that A the earlier you start to learn a second language the greater the grey matter density is B there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn t know a second language C the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people s brain D the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time 67 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 you d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language 参考答案 65 67 CAB 结束 A A YouYou maymay
