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 density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. 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 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 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. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph?
A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.
B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.
D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.
5. What can we know from the scientific findings?
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
6. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.
A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
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
7. What is mainly talked about in this passage?
A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.
C
In the past several months, Apple, Google and Samsung have all launched their newest smartphones and other products. But in the process, this may also be adding to a growing problem: electronic waste.
The limited lifespan of many tech gadgets(设备)has caused the issue of e-waste to increase over the years. “People tend not to realize that all these seemingly insignificant things have a lot of value, especially in large amounts, ”Pascal Leroy, director general of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement
How to solve the problems of e-waste is much more than just cleaning out space in your junk drawers. Actually, large amounts of e-waste are shipped to developing countries that lack the power to refuse and safely recycle these imports. The WHO warned that children, with their smaller hands, are often used to deal with mountains of e-waste in developing nations in search of valuable elements such as copper, silver, palladium and so on. The WHO said the health of more than 18 million children are being affected negatively as they are employed in this informal e-waste processing industry.
Personally what can you do to reduce the e-waste burden? Find an e-waste disposal(处理) service. The impact of recycling e-waste can be staggering. For every 1 million cellphones that are recycled, 35, 000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. Meanwhile, environmental advocates say the most important step to deal with the mounting e-waste problem is simply to try to use your electronics for as long as possible
8. What might come along with companies launching new e-products?
A More electronic waste.
B. Few optional tech gadgets.
C. Limited lifespan of the devices.
D. Important things for consumers.
9. Why are children greatly influenced by e-waste according to the WHO?
A. Developed countries can’t recycle e-waste safely.
B. E-waste mountains are places for children to play.
C. Many valuable elements can be found on e-waste mountains.
D. Children are hired in the informal e-waste processing industry.
10. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Annoying. D. Challenging.
11 Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. What is the source of e-waste? B. E-waste—a serious problem?
C. E-waste—a processing industry? D. What to do with your e-waste?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了一项新研究表明,学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度,让人变得更聪明,而且越早学习新语言,这种效果就越好。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“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 density(灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information.(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灰质密度。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。)”可知,一项新研究发现学习新语言可以提高脑力,改变大脑的灰质密度,接着“It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(这与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似。)”提到学习新语言提高脑力与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似,结合常识可知,锻炼时会通过各种运动来活动肌肉,让肌肉变得更强大,由此可推测出,提到锻炼是为了更好地说明学习新语言能够有效训练大脑,让头脑变得更灵活。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.(研究还发现,学习第二语言的人越年轻,效果就越大。)”和第四段“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.(扫描显示,双语者大脑中的灰质密度高于没有学第二语言的人。但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。)”可推知,学习第二语言会增加灰质密度,而且越早学习,效果就越好,越晚学习,灰质密度的变化就越小。故选B。

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“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.’(威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究了双语与数学技能之间的联系。他说:‘拥有两种语言可以给你打开两扇世界之窗,让大脑更加灵活。你实际上超越了语言,对不同的想法有了更好的理解。’)”和最后一段中的“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.(结果表明,他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。科学家们解释说:‘学习一门语言意味着你可以进入另一个世界。’)”可知,威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究双语与数学技能之间的联系,他认为学习语言可以更好地了解不同的想法;科学家们认为学习语言让人了解另一个世界,而不单单局限于语言方面,而且越早学习,效果就越好。由此可推测出,提早学习第二语言有助于学习其他科目。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段中用问题“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?(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?)”引出学习语言会让人变聪明的话题,接下来具体介绍了一项新研究的发现:学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度(这是大脑中的信息加工区域),而且越早学习新语言,这种效果就越好。由此可推测出,本文主要讲述的是学习新语言有助于提高人的思维能力。故选C。

In the past several months, Apple, Google and Samsung have all launched their newest smartphones and other products. But in the process, this may also be adding to a growing problem: electronic waste.
The limited lifespan of many tech gadgets(设备)has caused the issue of e-waste to increase over the years. “People tend not to realize that all these seemingly insignificant things have a lot of value, especially in large amounts, ”Pascal Leroy, director general of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement
How to solve the problems of e-waste is much more than just cleaning out space in your junk drawers. Actually, large amounts of e-waste are shipped to developing countries that lack the power to refuse and safely recycle these imports. The WHO warned that children, with their smaller hands, are often used to deal with mountains of e-waste in developing nations in search of valuable elements such as copper, silver, palladium and so on. The WHO said the health of more than 18 million children are being affected negatively as they are employed in this informal e-waste processing industry.
Personally, what can you do to reduce the e-waste burden? Find an e-waste disposal(处理) service. The impact of recycling e-waste can be staggering. For every 1 million cellphones that are recycled, 35, 000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. Meanwhile, environmental advocates say the most important step to deal with the mounting e-waste problem is simply to try to use your electronics for as long as possible
8. What might come along with companies launching new e-products?
A. More electronic waste.
B. Few optional tech gadgets.
C. Limited lifespan of the devices.
D. Important things for consumers.
9. Why are children greatly influenced by e-waste according to the WHO?
A. Developed countries can’t recycle e-waste safely.
B. E-waste mountains are places for children to play.
C. Many valuable elements can be found on e-waste mountains.
D. Children are hired in the informal e-waste processing industry.
10. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Annoying. D. Challenging.
11. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. What is the source of e-waste? B. E-waste—a serious problem?
C. E-waste—a processing industry? D. What to do with your e-waste?
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the past several months, Apple, Google and Samsung have all launched their newest smartphones and other products. But in the process, this may also be adding to a growing problem: electronic waste.”(在过去的几个月里,苹果、谷歌和三星都推出了他们最新的智能手机和其他产品。但在这个过程中,这也可能加剧一个日益严重的问题:电子垃圾);根据第三段“How to solve the problems of e-waste is much more than just cleaning out space in your junk drawers.”(如何解决电子垃圾的问题不仅仅是清理你的垃圾箱的空间。);根据最后一段“Meanwhile, environmental advocates say the most important step to deal with the mounting e-waste problem is simply to try to use your electronics for as long as possible”(与此同时,环保人士表示,解决日益严重的电子垃圾问题最重要的一步就是尽量长时间地使用电子产品)可知,短文介绍了电子垃圾污染严重的问题以及处理电子垃圾的方法。所以短文的最佳标题为“如何处理你的电子垃圾”。故选D项。
