Ⅰ.阅读理解 　　（2025·山东淄博质检）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. 1.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. 2.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. 3.What does the underlined word “bilinguals” in paragraph 3 probably mean？（　　） 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. 4.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. Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·江西宜春期末）Like math， chemistry， and many other subjects， learning a foreign language， especially listening and pronunciation， is a cumulative （积累的） process.5.（　　） If you don’t keep up with your studies， your language skills will be weakened.Below we’ll explore the most effective tips for learning a foreign language as they relate to listening and speaking. 　　·Put listening first.6.（　　） So it’s important that you learn what to listen for when the language is being spoken.The key is to listen to native speakers pronouncing correctly for the language. 　　·7.（　　） One of the biggest mistakes new learners make is paying more attention to speed instead of accuracy （准确性）.Not only does proper pronunciation require practice， it also requires patience.Slow down and learn how to make lips and tongue （舌头） movements correctly.When you speak， take the time to make sure you’re pronouncing words accurately. 　　·Practice what you hear.With respect to learning what to listen for and proper pronunciation， there is no replacement for practice.The best way to improve your ability to listen and pronounce words correctly is to listen to the language being spoken by native speakers in real-life contexts.8.（　　） Read out what you hear， reproducing words， phrases and sentences as accurately as you can. 　　·Listen to yourself speak.It’s not enough to listen to native speakers speak the language.You need to listen to yourself speak the language as well.Record yourself pronouncing words and speaking the language.Compare your pronunciation of words， phrases and sentences to that of native speakers.9.（　　） A.Quick talk wins in real conversation. B.Make sure that you pronounce correctly. C.Then make a phone call to a native speaker. D.What you learn today builds upon what you learned before. E.Sound is the basis for communication in all spoken languages. F.Listen to native speakers， records， tapes， movies， and television shows. G.Repeat this exercise until your pronunciation is close to that of native speakers.

seemed to be impossible to solve， puzzling grammar in English， and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss.I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. 　　Moreover， the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety.Seeing others doing well， I couldn’t help but question myself， wondering if I was working hard enough.This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future.I was losing patience and drive. 　　One sunny day， as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored， my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard.I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. 　　I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree.I worked hard， feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead.As I was working， a classmate， Mary， came over and said， “Hey， you’re really putting a lot of effort into this！” I smiled and replied， “Yeah， I want this tree to grow strong.It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement， “Definitely.And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” 　　As the weeks passed， I would visit the tree often， observing the little tree as it faced many challenges， including harsh weather and strong winds.But each time， it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger， providing shade and shelter for us.Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance （坚持） and growth.It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree， growing and changing. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　One day， as I stood by a tree lost in thought， my teacher approached me.

me， especially the changes in tenses.To improve， I spend time learning new words every day and practice grammar with simple sentences.I also try to communicate with my friends in English. 　　Although I make mistakes sometimes， I feel that this helps me improve faster.I know that only by persisting can I achieve better results in learning English. Ⅵ. 　　One day， as I stood by the tree lost in thought， my teacher approached me.She asked， “What are you thinking about？” I explained my realization about the tree and how it mirrored my struggles.My teacher smiled warmly and said， “That’s exactly right.Just like the tree， you will face challenges， but you must keep growing.You need to persevere， adapt， and find strength within yourself.Remember， every difficulty you overcome makes you stronger.” Her words impressed me deeply， and I felt a renewed sense of determination.I decided then and there to approach my studies with the same persistence as the tree. 　　Reflecting on it now， I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life.Inspired by the tree’s growth and my teacher’s encouragement， I began to tackle my academic challenges.Slowly but surely， I noticed improvements in my grades.More importantly， I learned to consider challenges as opportunities for growth.This shift in mindset not only helped me academically but also taught me a lifelong lesson about the power of perseverance and the beauty of continuous learning.Whenever I face obstacles now， I remember the tree and the wisdom it taught me， reminding me that with patience and determination， I can overcome any adversity. 6 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
