A slow blinking light shows the car is coming to a stop. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up. To test the method on r 6 roads, the team designed a special suit that looks exactly like a car seat. When a driver wears it, it appears to people that the car is really driverless.

A 2 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（脑灰质）. This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information. It is similar to the way that e 3 builds muscles(肌肉). 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 s 4 English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人）” who had learned a s 5 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 w 6 a second language. But the longer a person waited before learning a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure（结构） of the brain is c 7 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（联系） between bilingualism and math skill. “Having two languages o 8 two windows on the world for you 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 a 9 of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the y 10 they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 【答案】 1．(s)ince 2．(A)ccording 3．(e)xercise 4．(s)poke 5．(s)econd 6．(w)ithout 7．(c)hanged 8．(o)pens 9．(a)ges 10．(y)ounger 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，根据英国一所大学研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力，而且越早学习越好。 1．句意：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？分析句子可知这里填一个连词，根据“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter”以及首字母s，可知这里填since，意为“自从”。故填(s)ince。 2．句意：根据英国大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言会使你的脑力增加。根据宾语“a new study by a British university”英国大学的一项新研究，以及根据首字母A，可知这里表示according to根据。故填(A)ccording。 3．句意：这与锻炼增强肌肉的方式相似。builds是谓语动词的单数第三人称形式，前面可加可数名词单数或者不可数名词作主语，根据“...builds muscles(肌肉).”以及首字母e，可知这里填exercise，意为“锻炼”。故填(e)xercise。 4．句意：由伦敦大学学院的Andrea Mechelli博士领导的一个小组，研究了一群只会说英语的英国人。who指代Britons ，在句中做主语，后接动词作谓语，由took可知句子使用一般过去时；由English以及首字母s，可知这里表示“讲英语”。故填(s)poke。 5．句意：拿他们与一组在五岁之前就学会了第二语言的双语者，以及一些后来的学习第二语言的人，进行了比较，。由“early bilinguals (通两种语言的人）”可知，这里表示讲“第二语言的人”，结合首字母s，a second language第二语言。故填(s)econd。 6．句意：扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度比没学过第二语言的人要大。由上文内容内容可知，人们在研究学过第二语言和没有学过第二语言的人的差别，与“bilinguals”相对应的是people without a second language没有学过第二语言的人。without介词，意为“没有”，符合题意。故填(w)ithout。 7．句意：科学家们说：“我们的发现表明，学习第二语言的经历改变了大脑的结构。”由“the structure（结构） of the brain is...by the experience of learning a second language”可知，这里构成被动语态，其结构为be+动词的过去分词。由“It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.”这意味着改变本身提高了学习能力。可推知这里填change的适当形式。故填(c)hanged。 8．句意：他说：“两种语言为你打开了两扇世界之窗，让大脑更加灵活。”Having two languages动名词做主语，后加单数第三人称形式的谓语动词，根据“...two windows on the world for you”以及首字母o，可知这里填opens，符合题意。故填(o)pens。 9．句意：在一项对以意大利语为母语的人的研究中，这些人在2岁到34岁之间将英语作为第二语言学习，研究结果与此相吻合。根据“as a second language between the...of 2 and 34.”可知这里填名词复数，由“2 and 34”以及首字母可知，这里填ages，意为“年龄”。故填(a)ges。 10．句意：结果表明，他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。“the+比较级，the+比较级”表示“越……，就越……”。根据“the...they started to learn, the better.”可知，这里填形容词的比较级，由上文内容可知，越早学习第二语言越好。结合首字母，，故填(y)ounger。 阅读下面短文，根据单词，首字母和语境等提示，在每个空格内填入适当的单词，要求意义准确，拼写正确。 Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you f 1 coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No. 3 Junior High School.

What i 1 people most was the performance of “the Willow Twig(柳枝)”. The willow twig is part of the willow tree and in t 2 Chinese culture, it was given as a parting gift b 3 friends. The performers beautifully interacted with a LED floor to show imagery of the willow, one that showed the emotional symbolism of “a bittersweet goodbye.” The t 4 of “one world, one family” continued to be clearly seen t 5 the Games as 365 different people all held a willow branch represented “the unwavering(坚定的) spirit of remembering the departed through the 365 d 6 of a year.” Thomas Bach, international Olympic Committee president, delivered a speech, during which he s 7 highly of the performance of the competition. “This unifying(联合) power of the Olympic Games is s 8 than the forces that want to divide us,” he said. “Each and every one of you tried to achieve your personal best.

May companies are competing to be the first to bring them to market. However, carmakers need to s 1 one problem first: How driverless cars communicate with passers-by (行人), bikers and other drivers? Most drives today use gestures to show their p 2 . They wave a car into a lane (车道), or nod at passers-by and cyclists, to let them c 3 the street. But self-driving cars don’t have this ability. What can they do? US maker Ford and its partner Virginia Tech (弗吉尼亚理工学院) think they have the answer. The team is testing a method that use l 4 to show what self-driving cars are doing. For e 5 , if a driverless car is yielding (让路), it can flash two white lights side to side. A white light tells there are no humans in the car. A slow blinking light shows the car is coming to a stop. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up. To test the method on r 6 roads, the team designed a special suit that looks exactly like a car seat. When a driver wears it, it appears to people that the car is really driverless. The team then successfully got more than 1,500 hours of data (数据) after a 7 2,900 kilometers of “self-driving” through busy cities. The data r 8 how people interacted with a driverless car. Ford says they plan to s 9 the data with 11 other companies. The company wants to work with other carmakers to design a signaling system that would be understood b 10 all the people. 请根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 People often ask me who I have to thank for my success as a pianist and songwriter. They expect to hear that I was b 1 into a musical family and had an excellent piano teacher. However, the truth is d 2 . When I was little, nobody played an instrument at home. I learnt to play the piano and sing because there was a piano in my house and I just wanted to make music. My parents allowed me to sit at the piano and sing for as l 3 as I wanted. If they were afraid that I would break the old piano, they never mentioned it. They didn’t s 4 that I should take lessons, either. The songs just came to me when I had my h 5 on the piano. I suppose I had musical talent and that is all you need. I started writing proper songs when I was a teenager. The music was m 6 but the words were from other song writers. It seemed so easy. When you start to compose, you do that, you copy other people’s best songs. Then you start c 7 the melodies(旋律) and the words and you develop your own style. That only happened l 8 when I had grown beyond my teenage years. For a time, I thought music would be just a hobby. My parents had developed a strong belief(信念) that I would be able to make a l 9 as a musician, but I had my doubts, so after school I took a j 10 in radio advertising. Then one day one of my songs won a prize and that changed everything. I realized my happiness was in music. I have been a musician ever since that day. When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I said at the dinner table, “My teacher told us to bring a box, a special box, for our Valentines（情人节）on Monday.” Mother said, “We’ll see”, and she continued e 1 . What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box, or my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my project. All Saturday I waited unhappily and with Sunday arriving, my care increased, but I knew the need about the box might cause anger or loud voice, f 2 in my house children only asked once. More than that invited trouble. Late Sunday morning, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper of different kinds. An e 3 shoebox rested on top of it. Daddy said, “Let’s get started on your project.” In the next hour my father c 4 the shoebox into a wonderful valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so pleased that a big smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked. I answered him with a hug. But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart. It was the f 5 time that my father spent so much time with me. The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards and p 6 into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until school was over. On the way home, I held my valentine box carefully. The love that filled it meant m 7 to me than all inside. The valentine box became a symbol of his love that lasted through other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none ever compared with the love I felt within the limits of this old, empty shoebox. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is around the corner, China has repeated its determination (决心) to host a “Green Olympics” and is preparing to k 1 that promise. Beijing will r 2 venues (场地) from the 2008 Olympics for the 2022 Winter Games. Among these, the National Aquatic Center or “Water Cube”—known as the “Ice Cube” for the upcoming Winter Games—will host curling (冰壶) events, and the National Indoor Stadium will host ice hockey. Opening and closing ceremonies will o 3 again take place at the Beijing National Stadium, or Bird’s Nest. The 2022 Winter Olympics will be the first Games in history to totally power all venues with clean e 4 from renewable sources. Solar and wind power will be produced in the Zhangbei area of Hebei province. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, Beijing will use carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) to make ice. It is an environmentally friendly w 5 in ice-making. At the same time it will produce a lot of heat which can be used to warm up water. Sportspersons can use the h 6 water to take a shower. The new ice-making t 7 will also save electricity. All venues can be reached by green public transportation. Spectators (观众) at the 2022 Winter Olympics will be encouraged to t 8 by public transport across the three competition areas—downtown Beijing, its suburban Yanqing district and co-host Zhangjiakou in Hebei province. The three areas are c 9 by an electric-powered high-speed railway. The Beijing Winter Olympics Village is a green village. The b 10 are mainly made of steel (钢), which makes it easy to rebuild them after the Games. After the Games, the village will be turned into public rental housing. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。 Do you like to drink hot water? Compared with people in most other countries, Chinese people e 1 like to drink warm water. Do you know why? In the old days, people drank water from the river. The bacteria（细菌）in it could make them s 2 . Ancient people around the world use different w 3 to kill the bacteria in the water. For the Chinese, they thought drinking boiled water was the easiest way to protect t 4 from the harmful bacteria. What’s more, in traditional Chinese m 5 , “yin” and “yang” mean cold and hot energy. It was b 6 that the power of your body came from “yang”. And drinking hot water could nourish（滋养）the “yang” energy. That’s w 7 traditional Chinese doctors always suggest people should not drink cold water. Besides this, before people in northern China had central heating（中央供暖）, it was hard for them to p 8 the cold in winter. Drinking hot water helped them keep w 9 . Another reason is that s 10 the early 20th century, the Chinese government has encouraged people to drink more warm water. It has also helped the Chinese to form this special habit. 根据文章大意和首字母提示，填写单词，使短文通顺、完整。每空限填一词，并将该词的完整形式填写在答题卡的相应位置。 The population of the Earth is growing faster now. It is important that we look a 1 the Earth because we need our home. The Earth g 2 us a lot of things. We also give the Earth a lot, but some of the things are not g 3 at all. In nature, when something dies, other animals and plants get food from it. Every animal or plant gives food for other animals or plants. H 4 , animals can’t get food from many of the things that we “give” the Earth. Animals and plants can’t eat metal, plastic and glass. These things will s 5 in the ground for many, many, many years. Some rubbish and chemicals (化学品) are very d 6 for plants and animals. In some places, many animals live t 7 . One animal makes food for many more animals. If we put rubbish and chemicals in the water, the water will be p 8 , and the plankton (浮游生物) may d 9 . If there isn’t any plankton, many animals have n 10 to eat. So what can we do? Don’t make so much rubbish! If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter s 1 you started to learn a language? A 2 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（脑灰质）. This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information. It is similar to the way that e 3 builds muscles(肌肉). 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 s 4 English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals (通两种语言的人）” who had learned a s 5 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 w 6 a second language. But the longer a person waited before learning a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure（结构） of the brain is c 7 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（联系） between bilingualism and math skill. “Having two languages o 8 two windows on the world for you 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 a 9 of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the y 10 they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 阅读下面短文，根据单词，首字母和语境等提示，在每个空格内填入适当的单词，要求意义准确，拼写正确。 Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you f 1 coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No. 3 Junior High School.

This may seem a little strange, but scientists have c 1 a wooden knife. It is three times sharper than the steel knives we use. The scientists are from the University of Maryland. Researcher Teng Li said wooden knives would add to the n 2 of wooden tools we use in kitchens across the world. He said, “In our kitchen, we have many wooden things that we use for a very long time, like a cutting board, c 3 , or a rolling pin (擀面杖). These new knives can also be used many t 4 if they are polished and sharpened.” The scientists improved the strength of their wood by i 5 the cellulose (纤维素) it has. Cellulose is the m 6 constituent (成分) of wood. It has a higher strength than steel and ceramics. The new material is so s 7 that it can easily cut through the hardest steak. Another advantage of wooden knives is that they are environmentally f 8 . They could help us avoid using plastic cutlery (刀具). The scientists have also d 9 wooden nails (钉子). These could help the building industry b 10 they will not rust (生锈) like many nails. 先阅读短文，再在其后空白处写出各单词的正确形式，单词的第一个字母已给出。 The Chinese kite, known as “the earliest aircraft (飞行器) in the world”, was once called Zhiyuan in North China and Yaozi in South China.
