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 (肌肉).
The study also found the younger 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” 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(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 learnt 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.
4、What is mainly talked about in this passage?
A. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
B. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
C. The study done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.
D. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
5、Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph?
A. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
B. To make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well.
C. To prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language.
D. To show the significance of using the language when you learn a language.
6、What does the underlined word “bilinguals” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. An active foreign language learner.
B. A person who can speak two languages.
C. A researcher on foreign language learning.
D. A person who is good at learning foreign languages.
7、What can we know from the scientific findings?
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
C. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
At 9 am on a Wednesday, Gaby Rountree waves goodbye to Mila as she is picked up to go to day care in Mexico City. "It has made her so independent, so friendly and so lovely with others," Ms Rountree says joyfully. She shuts the front door and turns to homeschooling her two children. For Mila is not a child, but the family dog.
Schools and nurseries have been shut in Mexico for a year owing to the pandemic. But doggy day care is booming. Doggy carers offer claw-trims and let beloved pets play outdoors.  "Many clients now have a home office or are worried about their dogs becoming too attached to them," explains Montserrat, an owner of a dog day-care centre, as she strokes a tiny dog on her lap. The facility, in the rich neighbourhood, also has a camp where dogs can spend a relaxing weekend in the countryside.
Mexico's rising passion for dogs has coincided (同时发生) with falling human fertility. In the mid-1980s, a Mexican woman could expect to have four children; now, only two. In the long run, as people have grown richer and the returns to education have risen, families have shrunk. For some, a dog is a lovable substitute. The most devoted owners buy clothes and throw birthday parties for their dogs. Many restaurants welcome dogs and provide drinking water. Some restaurants even offer a full doggy menu. Parks have “doggy areas”. Pet beauty salons provide not only baths and trims but massages and acupuncture, too.
Mexico's spoilt pets are probably enjoying the pandemic more than its locked — down kids. By one estimate, nearly two-thirds of the children have missed a year of school because of coronavirus. For mothers such as Ms Rountree doggy day care offers some relief from covid-induced hard boring work. But she will not stop worrying until her children, too, are let off the chain and back into the classroom.
8、What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Mila is highly thought of by Ms Rountree.
B. Ms Rountree is a well-received online teacher.
C. Mila enjoys her day with other children at care center.
D. Ms Rountree's children are well taken care of at care center.
9、What may be the reason for the doggy day care’s popularity in Mexico?
A. Dogs like to play in the center.
B. Dogs are infected with pandemic.
C. School and nurseries are closed down.
D. Many citizens have to work at home.
10、What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. How Mexico becomes richer.
B. Why Mexicans love to raise dogs.
C. How Mexicans care for their dogs.
D. Why Mexico has a declining population.
11、What's the present situation of the kids in Mexico?
A. They are about to return to school.
B. They are second to the dogs at home.
C. They have to attend their dogs at home.
D. Most of them are absent from school for a year.
Seventeen young turtles raised from eggs saved from the smashed bodies of mothers killed on roads got their release back into the wild by a class of kindergartners.
It was part of a program that has saved thousands of turtles and returned them to the wild over the past 25 years. The turtles were either raised from the eggs of their dead mothers or were themselves rescued from roads, storm drains or other dangerous places over the years.
"It's a great community connection," said Lisa Ferguson, director of research and conservation at the Wetlands Institute, which runs the program along with Stockton University and Stone Harbor schools. "It shows how conservation works, and that everyone has a part to play, from adults down to kindergarten students."
The turtle release took place during egg-laying season, when turtles come up out of the wetlands onto dry land to lay eggs, thus exposing themselves not only to natural predators, but also to the far more deadly threat of motor vehicles.
Aside from caring for injured live turtles, the Wetlands Institute harvests eggs from females killed on the road and incubates(化) them at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit),a temperature that will ensure they develop as females (egg temperature determines the sex of these turtles, Ferguson said).
When they have grown enough in their first year, they are ready for release into the wetlands surrounding the institute. That's where the kids come in. Kindergartners from Stone Harbor schools get to know the turtles as they grow. They give them names, draw posters of them, and even bake and sell cookies to raise money for turtle conservation.
When it was time to set them free, some eagerly grasped the turtles from behind; others were more quiet to get up close and personal with squirming turtles and squishy mud, but each student seemed excited to see the turtles paddle away into the shallow water.
12、Why did the turtles need rescuing?
A.Because their eggs couldn't develop as females.
B.Because they couldn't walk across the road.
C.Because they lost their mother to the sea.
D.Because their habitat was threatened.
13、What did Lisa Ferguson think of the program?
A. Professional B. Natural. C. Educational. D. Optional
14、What did kids do for the program?
A.They learnt to befriend turtles.
B.They provided turtles with food.
C.They saved the turtles from road kills.
D.They cared for the injured live turtles.
15、What is the best title of the passage?
A.Go on fighting for them B.Work harder, worry less
C.Help them, happy together D.Save them to save ourselves

16、根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Improve Your Speaking by Making How-to Videos
Have you ever learned to do something with the help of an Internet search? The answer is likely “Yes!” ① How-to videos show people how to do or make something. They can cover nearly any subject, from simple things like how to make an origami (折纸) animal to more complex things like replacing car parts. Here, we will give you tips for making your own simple how-to video.
Choose a subject
The first step is to choose a subject that will work well for a short video. Set a goal of not going over six or seven minutes for video length. Ideally, your subject should be something that is visually attractive and can be divided into steps. ②
③_______
Websites such as YouTube.com and Howcast.com cover almost every subject you can think of. And YouTube allows you to slow the speed of the video, which can help you understand English that may be spoken too quickly.
Aim for simple instructions
How-to videos are meant to make instructions easy and clear. Taking notes can help organize your steps and decide which to include. ④ For example, if a step is to heat water, pause the video if there is a long waiting period.
Introduce your subject
Finally the last step is to record your video. ⑤ You can even include a sentence or two about why your skill is good to learn. Or, if you are preparing food, you might tell how the dish got its name. Then, say what supplies are needed.
But do not prepare too much and don't forget to have fun!
A. Watch how-to videos on your subject.
B. Keep this in mind as you think about subjects.
C. Try to speak freely without thinking about making mistakes.
D. You may be wondering how such videos can improve your English.
E. In fact, you probably learned many things by watching how-to videos.
F. Think about which ones to show visually and which only need to be described.
G. A great way to introduce it is to say your name and then say what you are going to show.

Bird Song
    “Let it go!” Caroline yelled. Two boys were bending over a bird, as a third one held the poor creature roughly by its wings, "You'll hurt it." Caroline looked fearful for the bird.
    "That's the point." The boys laughed. The tallest stood up and glared at Caroline. "Here, catch this!” He said as he sailed the now broken-winged bird at Caroline. The poor creature cried in pain, as its wings had been badly damaged. The boys ran off laughing at their handy work.
    Caroline bent down to carefully pick up the bird. The poor feathered soul was wriggling (扭动)about, with a fearful look in its eyes. "Don't worry,“ Caroline whispered softly. She took a handkerchief from her pocket and gently placed the bird on it.
    Caroline walked as quickly as she could back to her house, careful not to shake the bird around too much. She found a shoe box, filled it with soft cotton balls and then laid the bird down in its new resting place.
    “Let me get you some water and food. That’s the least I can do." She took a tiny saucer from the kitchen, filled it with water, and placed it in a comer of the box. She managed to find some sunflower seeds, as that was the only bird-friendly food she could think of. Caroline was worried. She didn't want the bird to die. The poor bird was now fast asleep, no doubt tired out from its earlier suffering. “Please don't die." Caroline whispered tearfully.
    If there was anyone whom she could turn to, it would be Mr. Roberts. Mr. Roberts was working at the nature museum. He had bird feeders throughout his yard, and sometimes would drop in her science class at school. Caroline never knew there was so much information about birds, until hearing him speak.

参考答案
1、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由Online中第二段的“Tickets for all Boston Ballet performances are sold online at www.bostonballet.org.(波士顿芭蕾舞团所有演出的门票都在网上出售，网址是www.bostonballet.org)”可知，“你可以在www.bostonballet.org在线购买波士顿芭蕾舞团所有演出的门票”正确。故选C项。
2、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由Tips for Theatergoers中的“If you arrive late to your performance you may have to wait to be seated at appropriate breaks in the performance. (如果你看演出迟到，你可能不得不在演出的适当休息时间等待入座)”可知，你要去波士顿歌剧院看演出，如果你迟到了，要在演出间隙时间找座位入座。故选D项。
3、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。文章详细介绍了波士顿歌剧院上演的各种表演的门票购买方式以及注意事项。由此推知，本文可能会出现在杂志上。故选B项。
4、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段第二句“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? (难道你没有注意到自从你开始学习一门语言以来你变得更聪明了吗？)”，以及第二段第一句“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. (根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提升你的脑力)”可知，本文介绍了一项研究发现：学习第二语言可以使人更聪明，提升脑力。故选D项。
5、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“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 (肌肉). (根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变大脑灰质。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。这类似于锻炼能增强肌肉的方式。)”可知，作者提到锻炼，因为锻炼可以增强肌肉，通过类比，使读者相信：学习第二语言会改变大脑灰质，从而提高脑力。故选B项。
6、答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。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. (扫描显示，bilinguals大脑中的灰质密度比没有第二语言的人要大。)”可知，没有学第二语言的人脑部的灰质密度小，而学第二外语的人灰质密度大，所以bilinguals表“会第二语言的人”，即“会讲两种语言的人”，故选B项。
7、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“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’ 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. (来自伦敦大学学院的Andrea Mechelli博士带领的一个研究小组对一组只会说英语的英国人进行了研究。他们与一组5岁前学会第二语言的‘早期双语者’，以及一些较晚学会第二语言的人进行了比较。扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度比没有第二语言的人要大。但是一个人在掌握一门新语言之前等待的时间越长，差异就越小。科学家们说：‘我们的研究结果表明，学习第二语言的经历会改变大脑的结构。’)”可知，学得越迟，灰质密度变化就越小，越早学习一门外语，灰质密度就越高。故选C项。
8、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“"It has made her so independent, so friendly and so lovely with others," Ms Rountree says joyfully. (“这让她变得如此独立，如此友好，与他人相处如此可爱，”Rountree女士高兴地说) ”可知，这是Rountree女士对她的狗Mila的正面、积极的评价，所以可推知Rountree女士高度赞扬她的狗Mila，故选A。
9、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“"Many clients now have a home office or are worried about their dogs becoming too attached to them," explains Montserrat, an owner of a dog day-care centre, as she strokes a tiny dog on her lap. (Montserrat是一家狗狗日托中心的老板，她一边抚摸着膝盖上的一只小狗，一边解释说： “现在很多客户都有了家庭办公室，或者担心他们的狗对他们过于依赖”)”可知，很多人需要在家里工作，或者避免狗狗对自己过于依赖，所以会把狗送到狗狗日托中心，这样就使得狗狗日托很受欢迎。由此推知，许多人不得不在家工作是墨西哥狗狗日托中心蓬勃发展的原因。故选D。
10、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Mexico's rising passion for dogs has coincided (同时发生) with falling human fertility. In the mid-1980s,a Mexican woman could expect to have four children; now, only two. In the long run, as people have grown richer and the returns to education have risen, families have shrunk. For some, a dog is a lovable substitute. (墨西哥对狗的热情与日俱增，同时人类的生育力在下降。在20世纪80年代中期，一名墨西哥妇女可能会有四个孩子；现在，只有两个。从长远来看，随着人们越来越富有，教育回报率上升，家庭规模缩小。对有些人来说，狗是可爱的替代品)”可知，本段主要介绍了为什么墨西哥人喜欢养狗，故选B。
11、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By one estimate, nearly two-thirds of the children have missed a year of school because of coronavirus. (据估计，近三分之二的儿童因冠状病毒而缺课一年)”可知，现在，大多数墨西哥儿童缺课一年了，故选D。
12、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“It was part of a program that has saved thousands of turtles and returned them to the wild over the past 25 years. The turtles were either raised from the eggs of their dead mothers or were themselves rescued from roads, storm drains or other dangerous places over the years.(这是一个项目的一部分，该项目在过去25年中拯救了数千只海龟并将它们送回野外。这些海龟要么是由死去的母龟的卵孵出来的，要么是多年来从道路、雨水沟或其他危险的地方救出来的。)”以及第四段中的“..., when turtles come up out of the wetlands onto dry land to lay eggs, thus exposing themselves not only to natural predators, but also to the far more deadly threat of motor vehicles.(这是产卵季节，海龟从湿地中爬到干燥的土地上产卵，因此不仅暴露在天敌面前，而且还暴露在机动车辆更致命的威胁之下。)”可知由于海龟的栖息地受到了威胁，造成了海龟的伤亡，所以海龟需要救助。故选D。
13、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“‘It’s a great community connection,’ said Lisa Ferguson, director of research and conservation at the Wetlands Institute, which runs the program along with Stockton University and Stone Harbor schools. ‘It shows how conservation works, and that everyone has a part to play, from adults down to kindergarten students.’(‘这是一个很好的社区联系，’湿地研究所研究和保护主任Lisa Ferguson说，该研究所与Stockton大学和Stone Harbor学校一起运行该项目。‘它展示了保护是如何运作的，从成年人到幼儿园的学生，每个人都可以发挥作用。’)”可知该项目告诉大家如何去保护海龟，发挥自己的作用，非常具有教育意义，故选C。
14、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的二、三句“Kindergartners from Stone Harbor schools get to know the turtles as they grow. They give them names, draw posters of them, and even bake and sell cookies to raise money for turtle conservation.(来自Stone Harbor学校的幼儿园学生在海龟成长过程中了解它们。他们给它们起名字，画海报，甚至烘烤和出售饼干，为海龟保护筹集资金。)”可知孩子们像朋友一样去对待海龟，故选A。
15、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Seventeen young turtles raised from eggs saved from the smashed bodies of mothers killed on roads got their release back into the wild by a class of kindergartners.(十七只小海龟被一个班级的幼儿园孩子们放回野外，这些小海龟是由在路上被撞死的母龟的卵孵化养育出来的)”以及文章最后一段“When it was time to set them free, some eagerly grasped the turtles from behind; others were more quiet to get up close and personal with squirming turtles and squishy mud, but each student seemed excited to see the turtles paddle away into the shallow water.(星期三早上，是时候让他们自由了。有些人急切地从后面抓住海龟；其他人则更不愿意与蠕动的海龟和柔软的泥土近距离接触，但每个学生似乎都很高兴看到海龟划入浅水区。)”可知文章讲述了孩子们高兴地把海龟放回野外；结合文章中对海龟救助项目的介绍以及孩子们在海龟成长过程中的参与，可知文章主要介绍了孤儿海龟和孩子们的故事，所以C选项“Help them, happy together(帮助它们，快乐在一起)”能够概括全文，最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。
16、答案：①-⑤ EBAFG
解析：①上文提到“Have you ever learned to do something with the help of an Internet search?(你曾经在互联网引擎的帮助下学会做什么事情吗？)”；E项“In fact, you probably learned many things by watching how-to videos.(事实上，你可能通过看视频教程学到很多东西)”，其中“you probably learned many things”与上文中的“Have you ever learned to do something”语义重复，E项是顺承上文的话题。故选E。
②该段的小标题是“Choose a subject(选择主题)”；上文提到“Set a goal of not going over six or seven minutes for video length. Ideally, your subject should be something that is visually attractive and can be divided into steps.(设定一个目标，视频长度不要超过6到7分钟。理想情况下，你的主题应该在视觉上具有吸引力，并且可以分为几个步骤)”说明在制作视频教程时要考虑视频长度，在视觉上要具有吸引力，并且可以分为几个步骤；B项“Keep this in mind as you think about subjects.(当你考虑主题时，要记住这一点)”，其中“think about subjects”与上文中的“choose a subject”语义相同，“this”指代上文提到的要注意的方面。故选B。
③该空是此段的小标题；文章第二、四、五的小标题都是祈使句形式，该小标题也应该是祈使句形式；下文提到“Websites such as YouTube.com and Howcast.com cover almost every subject you can think of.(像YouTube.com和Howcast.com这样的网站几乎涵盖了你能想到的所有主题)”说明可以在网站上观看关于你所选择的主题的视频；A项“Watch how-to videos on your subject.(观看关于你的主题的视频教程)”，下文中的“every subject you can think of”与A项中的“on your subject”词汇重复。A项可以作为该段的小标题。故选A。
④空前一句提到“Taking notes can help organize your steps and decide which to include.(做笔记可以帮助你组织你的步骤并决定包括哪一个)”说明为了让视频教程简单明了，建议做笔记帮助组织你的步骤并决定包括哪一个；F项“Think about which ones to show visually and which only need to be described.(想想哪些可以直观地展示，哪些只需要描述)”，其中“which ones to show … and which only…”与空前一句中的“which to include”句式相同，F项是顺承空前一句的话题。故选F。
⑤该段的小标题是“Introduce a subject(介绍主题)”； G项“A great way to introduce it is to say your name and then say what you are going to show.(介绍它的一个好方法是说出你的名字，然后说明你要展示什么)”，其中“introduce it”与小标题“Introduce a subject”词汇复现。故选G。

34、答案：
    Caroline called Mr. Roberts and hurriedly told him her tale. She told him about the boys, the bird, and the makeshift shoe box home. Mr. Roberts was moved by Caroline’s efforts. “That bird is fortunate that you came to its rescue. Don’t worry. I will make a call to the bird rescue. They can make a pick-up for your feathered friend in the morning.” Mr. Roberts assured Caroline confidently. Breathing a sigh of relief, Caroline looked at the bird, which was still peacefully sleeping in the box as if nothing had happened. She went to bed, hoping that it would survive the night.
    In the morning, the Blackwell Bird Rescue Society called, informing a car would come to pick up the bird at 10 am. Hanging up the phone, Caroline smiled with relief. “I guess this is goodbye,” Caroline said to the bird in the shoe box. Curiously, it replied with a short chirp as if it understood what she was saying. As scheduled, a car from the Bird Rescue Society pulled up to her house at 10 am. After examining it carefully, the driver packed the bird gently into the car, promising Caroline that they would get the little one back up and flying again. Standing at the door, Caroline watched the driver get back into the car, which slowly drove away and disappeared from sight.
