You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C. There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most people have a one-week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different and bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in my family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to eat as dessert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.
41. Australians celebrate Christmas in ________.
A. spring B. summer C. fall D. winter
42. Australians rest for ________ during Christmas.
A. five days B. six days
C. seven days D. eight days
43. Which is NOT the tradition in Australia during Christmas?
A. The family have lunch or swim together.
B. People enjoy white snow outside.
C. The family play cricket together happily.
D. Children get presents from Santa Claus.
44. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Australians often get together to play on Christmas.
B. Australians usually eat ham, turkey, salad and gingerbread house on Christmas.
C. Children are excited to see the Santa Claus have lunch with them.
D. Christmas in Australia isn't the same as that in England or in the United States.
45. What does writer think of Christmas in Australia according to the passage?
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Interesting. D. Both A and C.
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(脑灰质).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 influence 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 Englishmen who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals”who had learned a second language before the age of five.
Research showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.“Our findings suggest that the structure(结构)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 Jones of the University of Wales,has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows to the world and makes the brain smarter.You will actually have a better understanding of math skills,”he explained.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world.The younger you started to learn,the better.”
46. Learning other languages can change grey matter which processes information.
47. The underlined word“bilinguals”means“词汇学”in Chinese.
48. Grey matter density was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.
49. The experience of learning a second language doesn’t have too much influence on people’s brain.
50. Research by Dr.Andrea Mechelli shows that the earlier you start to learn a second language,the better understanding of math skills you will have.

五、阅读理解(30分)
You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C. There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most people have a one-week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different and bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in my family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to eat as dessert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.

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(脑灰质).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 influence 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 Englishmen who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals”who had learned a second language before the age of five.
Research showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.“Our findings suggest that the structure(结构)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 Jones of the University of Wales,has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows to the world and makes the brain smarter.You will actually have a better understanding of math skills,”he explained.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world.The younger you started to learn,the better.”
46. Learning other languages can change grey matter which processes information.
47. The underlined word“bilinguals”means“词汇学”in Chinese.
48. Grey matter density was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.
49. The experience of learning a second language doesn’t have too much influence on people’s brain.
50. Research by Dr.Andrea Mechelli shows that the earlier you start to learn a second language,the better understanding of math skills you will have.
