On the first two days of my vacation, I started doing my homework, because I know if I didn’t work on my study now, I couldn’t have a great Spring Festival later on. So I made up my mind to finish my homework before the Spring Festival really comes. How wonderful the expected festival was! My house was full of laughter and happiness. My families and relatives gave me some lucky money and wished me to make progress on my study. I also hung out with friends in the street. When the atmosphere of Spring Festival was just fading away, the Lantern Festival was coming. After that, I don’t have too much holiday time left. Three days later, I will go back to school for my new term. I am so happy that I feel I just had a one-week holiday.

B
As a teenager, I fell in love with foreign languages — first French, then Italian, then Hindi, and Chinese. The learning has often left me highly frustrated, but has also given me great joy at the fact of having understood some of the beauty of those wonderful, magical tongues.
Why did I learn all those languages? Out of love for different sound systems, different writing systems, different grammars, different idioms, different ways of seeing the world. I also loved repeatedly listening to songs from other lands and feeling the culture and history silently lying in the words and tunes.
My earliest-learnt language was French, and then Italian. My French is very good. Although my Italian is not as good, it gives me a huge burst of pride whenever I’m taken for a native speaker.
Chinese is another kettle of fish. I’ve struggled with it for many years, yet I’m almost always lost in a group of native speakers. It’s discouraging, but I still want to try to climb the Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) of the Chinese language on my own. I don’t want a helicopter (直升机) ride to the summit. Learning another language is one of the deepest and most human things one can possibly do. Language is at the core of who we are. Language makes us who we are.
Today, AI can impressively help anyone to write and read in almost any language. But this is a surface-level exchange of ideas, which comes at a steep price: the loss of honest engagement (参与) with the magic organ that makes us human. The challenges of learning a new language are exactly why it is still so important to do so in the AI era.
Chinese is difficult for me, but I will never allow AI to borrow my voice to express my thoughts aloud in a perfect Chinese accent.
25. What do we know about the author’s learning of foreign languages?
A. It is always a pleasant experience. B. It is easiest for her to learn Hindi.
C. She started learning them at the age of 8. D. She really loves them and their cultures.
26. Why does the author compare Chinese to “Everest”?
A. To show it is full of natural beauty.
B. To suggest it is extremely challenging.
C. To show it is the most important language.
D. To prove it is popular among language learners.
27. Why is learning a new language still important in the AI era?
A. Because AI cannot translate languages clearly enough.
B. Because it allows us to avoid the challenges of modern life.
C. Because the process itself keeps us truly engaged as humans.
D. Because it helps us get better grades in school examinations.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To recommend AI tools for language study.
B. To share personal views on learning languages.
C. To compare the difficulties of French, Italian and Chinese.
D. To prove that Chinese is the hardest language in the world.
【答案】25. D 26. B 27. C 28. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者学习多种外语的经历和感受,并探讨了在AI时代坚持学习外语的重要性。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Why did I learn all those languages? Out of love for different sound systems, different writing systems, different grammars, different idioms, different ways of seeing the world. I also loved repeatedly listening to songs from other lands and feeling the culture and history silently lying in the words and tunes. (我为什么要学习所有这些语言?出于对不同音系、不同书写系统、不同语法、不同习语、不同看待世界方式的热爱。我也喜欢反复聆听来自其他国度的歌曲,感受那些潜藏在歌词和旋律中的文化与历史)”可知,作者非常热爱外语及其文化。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Chinese is another kettle of fish. I’ve struggled with it for many years, yet I’m almost always lost in a group of native speakers. It’s discouraging, but I still want to try to climb the Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) of the Chinese language on my own. (中文则完全是另一回事。我已经为此挣扎了许多年,但在母语者群体中,我几乎总是迷失方向。这很令人沮丧,但我仍然想尝试独自攀登中文这座“珠穆朗玛峰”)”可知,汉语令作者沮丧,作者将汉语比作“珠穆朗玛峰”是为了表明它极具挑战性。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Today, AI can impressively help anyone to write and read in almost any language. But this is a surface-level exchange of ideas, which comes at a steep price: the loss of honest engagement (参与) with the magic organ that makes us human. The challenges of learning a new language are exactly why it is still so important to do so in the AI era. (如今,人工智能能令人惊叹地帮助任何人用几乎任何语言进行写作和阅读。但这只是一种表面的思想交流,其代价高昂:我们失去了与那个使我们成为人类的神奇器官进行诚实互动的机会。学习一门新语言的挑战,正是它在人工智能时代仍然如此重要的原因所在)”可知,学习新语言之所以在AI时代仍然重要,是因为学习过程让我们与那个使我们成为人类的神奇器官进行诚实互动,让我们保持真正的人类参与。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段“The learning has often left me highly frustrated, but has also given me great joy at the fact of having understood some of the beauty of those wonderful, magical tongues. (学习过程常常让我非常沮丧,但同时也给我带来了巨大的快乐,因为我理解了一些那些美妙神奇语言的魅力)”以及第二段“Why did I learn all those languages? Out of love for different sound systems... (我为什么要学习所有这些语言?出于对不同音系的热爱……)”和第五段“The challenges of learning a new language are exactly why it is still so important to do so in the AI era. (学习一门新语言的挑战正是为什么在AI时代它仍然如此重要的原因)”可知,文章以作者个人学习多种外语的经历和感悟为主线,旨在分享个人对学习语言的看法。
C
American workers have cut the number of hours they spend in their jobs since 2019, but no group has cut down its time on the clock more than young, high-earning men whose jobs typically demand long hours.
The top-earning 10% of men in the U.S. labor market worked 77 fewer work hours in 2022, on average, than those in the same earnings group in 2019, according to a new study of federal data by the economics department at Washington University in St. Louis. Over the same three-year period, the top-earning 10% of women cut back time at work by 29 hours.
High-earning men in the 25-to-39 range who could be described as “workaholics” were pulling back, often by choice, says Yongseok Shin, a professor who co-wrote the paper.
“These are the people who have that bargaining power (议价能力),” Dr. Shin says. Many workers have had the power over their employers in a tight job market. “They have the advantage to decide how many hours they want to work without worrying too much about their life.”
Before the pandemic (疫情), Eli Albrecht, a lawyer in the Washington, D.C., area, says he worked 80 to 90 hours a week. Now, he says he puts in 60 to 70 hours each week, sharing Zoom school (上网课) duties for two of his young children with his wife. He says he enjoys family time.
As high-earning workers in the U.S. cut back, low-wage workers increased their hours, according to Dr. Shin’s research. The bottom-earning 10% of working men worked 41 hours more in 2022, on average, than in 2019. Women in the lowest-earning group lifted their hours worked 52 hours more last year compared with 2019.
29. What do we know about the top-earning 10% of men?
A. They worked 77 hours each week in 2022.
B. They increased their working hours in 2019.
C. They enjoy being workaholics at present.
D. They have cut down more working hours.
30. Why can high-earning people reduce their working time according to Shin?
A. They worry about their life. B. They have to attend school.
C. They like bargaining with people. D. They have the ability to bargain.
31. What do we know about Eli Albrecht?
A. He is crazy about work. B. He lives in New York.
C. He cares about his family. D. He works longer than before.
32. Which group of people have to increase their working hours?
A. The lowest-earning group. B. The top-earning women.
C. All the lawyers and doctors. D. All men with young children.
【答案】29. D 30. D 31. C 32. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了自2019年以来美国高收入男性工作时长降幅最大,他们凭借议价能力主动减少工时,而低收入群体则被迫增加工时。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“American workers have cut the number of hours they spend in their jobs since 2019, but no group has cut down its time on the clock more than young, high-earning men whose jobs typically demand long hours. (自2019年以来,美国工人减少了他们的工作时长,但没有哪个群体比年轻、高收入男性减少的时间更多,他们的工作通常需要长时间工作。)”以及第二段“The top-earning 10% of men in the U.S. labor market worked 77 fewer work hours in 2022, on average, than those in the same earnings group in 2019, according to a new study of federal data by the economics department at Washington University in St. Louis. (圣路易斯华盛顿大学经济系对联邦数据的一项新研究显示,2022年,美国劳动力市场收入最高的10%的男性平均比2019年同一收入群体的男性少工作77小时)”可知,收入最高的10%男性群体减少的工作时间最多。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““These are the people who have that bargaining power (议价能力),” Dr. Shin says. Many workers have had the power over their employers in a tight job market. “They have the advantage to decide how many hours they want to work without worrying too much about their life.”(“这些人有议价能力,”Shin博士说。在就业市场紧张的情况下,许多工人对雇主拥有控制权。“他们有权决定自己想工作多少小时,而不用太担心自己的生活。”)”可知,Shin博士认为高收入者能够减少工作时间是因为他们拥有议价能力。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Now, he says he puts in 60 to 70 hours each week, sharing Zoom school (上网课) duties for two of his young children with his wife. He says he enjoys family time. (现在,他说他每周工作60到70小时,与妻子分担两个年幼孩子的上网课任务。他说他享受家庭时光。)”可知,Eli Albrecht关心家庭。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As high-earning workers in the U.S. cut back, low-wage workers increased their hours, according to Dr. Shin’s research. The bottom-earning 10% of working men worked 41 hours more in 2022, on average, than in 2019. (根据Shin博士的研究,随着美国高收入劳动者减少工作时间,低薪劳动者增加了工作时间。收入最低的10%劳动男性在2022年的平均工作时间比2019年多了41小时。)”可知,收入最低的群体不得不增加工作时间。

As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can help people stay away from dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simple training, the brain activity between sentences that depended on grammatical features (特征) unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used.
33. What does the new study find?
A. Kids often travel a lot with their parents and friends.
B. Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C. Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.
D. Kids are likely to develop increased neural connections.
34. What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom?
A. It can be successful. B. It has limited effect.
C. It only focuses on grammar. D. It makes students bored.
35. What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort?
A. Helping kids to form good learning habits.
B. Making parents control their kids easily.
C. Keeping kids focused on the classroom more.
D. Providing learning chances for all family members.
36. What is the author’s attitude toward adults learning a second language?
A. Supportive. B. Against. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
【答案】33. C 34. A 35. D 36. A
【解析】
【导语】文章打破“儿童是更好的二语学习者”的传统观念,指出成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快,并重点介绍了家庭式语言学习的优势,最后还给出了具体的练习建议。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports.(然而,一项新研究指出,成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快。)”可知,成年人学二语和儿童一样快。

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy (星系). The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world. It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
The announcement was made in Washington, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo. Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87. “What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System,” he said. “It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.”
The image shows an intensely bright “ring of fire”, as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by very heated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined — which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth. The edge of the dark circle at the center is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.
“It is remarkable that the image we observe is so similar to that which we get from our theoretical calculations. So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again.” said Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London — who is part of the EHT collaboration.
Chinese scientists were involved in the observation through a telescope in Hawaii. They were also highly involved in follow-up data processing and theoretical analysis, said Shen Zhiqiang, head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and a member of the EHT international team.
Shanghai and Taipei were selected as two of the cities to hold news conferences, together with Washington, Brussels, Santiago and Tokyo, a recognition of China’s contribution.
“In the fields of astronomy, radio astronomy, and space astrophysics, China has made a significant contribution to this global project,” Falcke said.
37. What does the underlined word in Para.4 mean?
A. Saying hello to somebody. B. A circle of light.
C. Not having much distance. D. A hole in something.
38. What can we learn about the black hole from Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Its large gravitational pull is so strong that light cannot escape.
B. The light of its ring is as bright as all the other stars in the galaxy.
C. It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Moon.
D. It is one of the lightest black holes that exists.
39. Which is the role played by Chinese scientists in the experiment?
A. Playing an important part. B. Leading the experiment.
C. Just processing the data. D. Starting the experiment.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Book about Black Holes B. How Einstein Discovered a Black Hole
C. How a Black Hole Is formed D. First Image of a Black Hole Taken
【答案】37. B 38. A 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了天文学家拍摄到首张黑洞照片,并对黑洞和这张照片进行了详细说明。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The image shows an intensely bright “ring of fire”, as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole.(这张照片显示了一个非常明亮的“火环”,正如Falcke教授所描述的那样,围绕着一个完美的圆形黑洞)”和后文“is caused by very heated gas falling into the hole(是由落入黑洞的高温气体造成的)”可知,照片上的黑洞边缘有一圈明亮的光,这圈光是由落入黑洞的高温气体造成的。由此可知,划线词意思为“一圈光”。故选B。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The edge of the dark circle at the center is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.(中心黑色圆形的边缘就是气体被吞入黑洞之处,这里的万有引力非常大,甚至连光线都无法逃脱)”可知,这个黑洞的万有引力非常大,连光线都无法逃脱。故选A。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Chinese scientists were involved in the observation through a telescope in Hawaii. They were also highly involved in follow-up data processing and theoretical analysis(中国科学家通过夏威夷的望远镜参与了这次观测。他们还高度参与了后续数据处理和理论分析)”和最后一段“In the fields of astronomy, radio astronomy, and space astrophysics, China has made a significant contribution to this global project(在天文学、射电天文学和空间天体物理学领域,中国为这个全球项目做出了重大贡献)”可知,在实验中,中国科学家发挥了重要作用。故选A。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy (星系).(天文学家首次拍摄到位于遥远星系的黑洞照片)”可知,文章主要介绍了天文学家拍摄到首张黑洞照片,并对黑洞和这张照片进行了详细说明。由此可知,D选项“拍摄到的首张黑洞照片”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
四、七选五(本题共5小题,共10分。根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。)

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。每到暑假,总会发生游泳溺亡事故,令人惊讶的是,在许多溺水事故中,很大一部分溺水死亡者能够游泳。文章解释了原因并提出了建议。
【41题详解】
空前提到“Especially, swimming in the wild is extremely dangerous. (特别是在野外游泳极其危险)”这说明野外发生的溺亡事故应较多,C项“大部分事故就是发生在那儿”承接上文,符合语境,其中there指代上文的in the wild,故选C项。
【42题详解】
结合上文及空前“The main reason is that people who can’t swim have a fear of water( 主要原因是不会游泳的人害怕水 )”可知,溺亡的人很大比例都是会游泳的人,其主要原因是不会游泳的人怕水,所以他们应是不会靠近危险水域,D项“他们不想靠近危险水域”承接空前内容,符合语境,D项中的they指代空前“people who can't swim”,故选D项。
【43题详解】
根据空前“But the person that can swim is otherwise. (但是会游泳的人就不一样了)”可知,空后应是具体讲会游泳的人的情况,A项“他不害怕水”符合题意,与空后“likes to enter water(喜欢入水)”表达意思一样,A项中“He”指代空前“the person that can swim”,故选A项。
【44题详解】
上文“Surprisingly, in many drowning accidents, a large proportion (比例) of drowning deaths are able to swim.(令人惊讶的是,在许多溺水事故中,很大一部分溺水死亡者能够游泳。)”提到在很多溺亡事故中,很大比例的死亡人数是会游泳的人,根据空后“Don’t make the mistake of thinking that drowning deaths are mostly swimmers. (不要错误地认为溺亡的人大部分是会游泳的人)”及本段最后一句“An extra skill will give you an extra chance to save yourself in the event of an accident.(在事故中,额外的技能将给你一个额外自救的机会)”可知,本段与上文是转折关系,讲述学习游泳是有用的,F项“然而,我们不能因为这个原因就认为学习游泳是没有用的”符合语境,故选F项。
【45题详解】
根据空前“Good advice to prevent drowning(预防溺水的好建议)”可知,空处应是讲述防止溺亡的建议,E项“掌握游泳技能,不要在野外游泳”切题,故选E项。

As a teenager, I fell in love with foreign languages — first French, then Italian, then Hindi, and Chinese. The learning has often left me highly frustrated, but has also given me great joy at the fact of having understood some of the beauty of those wonderful, magical tongues.
Why did I learn all those languages? Out of love for different sound systems, different writing systems, different grammars, different idioms, different ways of seeing the world. I also loved repeatedly listening to songs from other lands and feeling the culture and history silently lying in the words and tunes.
My earliest-learnt language was French, and then Italian. My French is very good. Although my Italian is not as good, it gives me a huge burst of pride whenever I’m taken for a native speaker.
Chinese is another kettle of fish. I’ve struggled with it for many years, yet I’m almost always lost in a group of native speakers. It’s discouraging, but I still want to try to climb the Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) of the Chinese language on my own. I don’t want a helicopter (直升机) ride to the summit. Learning another language is one of the deepest and most human things one can possibly do. Language is at the core of who we are. Language makes us who we are.
Today, AI can impressively help anyone to write and read in almost any language. But this is a surface-level exchange of ideas, which comes at a steep price: the loss of honest engagement (参与) with the magic organ that makes us human. The challenges of learning a new language are exactly why it is still so important to do so in the AI era.
Chinese is difficult for me, but I will never allow AI to borrow my voice to express my thoughts aloud in a perfect Chinese accent.
25. What do we know about the author’s learning of foreign languages?
A. It is always a pleasant experience. B. It is easiest for her to learn Hindi.
C. She started learning them at the age of 8. D. She really loves them and their cultures.
26. Why does the author compare Chinese to “Everest”?
A. To show it is full of natural beauty.
B. To suggest it is extremely challenging.
C. To show it is the most important language.
D. To prove it is popular among language learners.
27. Why is learning a new language still important in the AI era?
A. Because AI cannot translate languages clearly enough.
B. Because it allows us to avoid the challenges of modern life.
C. Because the process itself keeps us truly engaged as humans.
D. Because it helps us get better grades in school examinations.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To recommend AI tools for language study.
B. To share personal views on learning languages.
C. To compare the difficulties of French, Italian and Chinese.
D. To prove that Chinese is the hardest language in the world.
C
American workers have cut the number of hours they spend in their jobs since 2019, but no group has cut down its time on the clock more than young, high-earning men whose jobs typically demand long hours.
The top-earning 10% of men in the U.S. labor market worked 77 fewer work hours in 2022, on average, than those in the same earnings group in 2019, according to a new study of federal data by the economics department at Washington University in St. Louis. Over the same three-year period, the top-earning 10% of women cut back time at work by 29 hours.
High-earning men in the 25-to-39 range who could be described as “workaholics” were pulling back, often by choice, says Yongseok Shin, a professor who co-wrote the paper.
“These are the people who have that bargaining power (议价能力),” Dr. Shin says. Many workers have had the power over their employers in a tight job market. “They have the advantage to decide how many hours they want to work without worrying too much about their life.”
Before the pandemic (疫情), Eli Albrecht, a lawyer in the Washington, D.C., area, says he worked 80 to 90 hours a week. Now, he says he puts in 60 to 70 hours each week, sharing Zoom school (上网课) duties for two of his young children with his wife. He says he enjoys family time.
As high-earning workers in the U.S. cut back, low-wage workers increased their hours, according to Dr. Shin’s research. The bottom-earning 10% of working men worked 41 hours more in 2022, on average, than in 2019. Women in the lowest-earning group lifted their hours worked 52 hours more last year compared with 2019.
29. What do we know about the top-earning 10% of men?
A. They worked 77 hours each week in 2022.
B. They increased their working hours in 2019.
C. They enjoy being workaholics at present.
D. They have cut down more working hours.
30. Why can high-earning people reduce their working time according to Shin?
A. They worry about their life. B. They have to attend school.
C. They like bargaining with people. D. They have the ability to bargain.
31. What do we know about Eli Albrecht?
A. He is crazy about work. B. He lives in New York.
C. He cares about his family. D. He works longer than before.
32. Which group of people have to increase their working hours?
A. The lowest-earning group. B. The top-earning women.
C. All the lawyers and doctors. D. All men with young children.
D
As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can help people stay away from dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simple training, the brain activity between sentences that depended on grammatical features (特征) unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used.
33. What does the new study find?
A. Kids often travel a lot with their parents and friends.
B. Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C. Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.
D. Kids are likely to develop increased neural connections.
34. What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom?
A. It can be successful. B. It has limited effect.
C. It only focuses on grammar. D. It makes students bored.
35. What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort?
A. Helping kids to form good learning habits.
B. Making parents control their kids easily.
C. Keeping kids focused on the classroom more.
D. Providing learning chances for all family members.
36. What is the author’s attitude toward adults learning a second language?
A. Supportive. B. Against. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy (星系). The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world. It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
The announcement was made in Washington, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo. Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87. “What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System,” he said. “It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.”
The image shows an intensely bright “ring of fire”, as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by very heated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined — which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth. The edge of the dark circle at the center is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.
“It is remarkable that the image we observe is so similar to that which we get from our theoretical calculations. So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again.” said Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London — who is part of the EHT collaboration.
Chinese scientists were involved in the observation through a telescope in Hawaii. They were also highly involved in follow-up data processing and theoretical analysis, said Shen Zhiqiang, head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and a member of the EHT international team.
Shanghai and Taipei were selected as two of the cities to hold news conferences, together with Washington, Brussels, Santiago and Tokyo, a recognition of China’s contribution.
“In the fields of astronomy, radio astronomy, and space astrophysics, China has made a significant contribution to this global project,” Falcke said.
37. What does the underlined word in Para.4 mean?
A. Saying hello to somebody. B. A circle of light.
C. Not having much distance. D. A hole in something.
38. What can we learn about the black hole from Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Its large gravitational pull is so strong that light cannot escape.
B. The light of its ring is as bright as all the other stars in the galaxy.
C. It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Moon.
D. It is one of the lightest black holes that exists.
39. Which is the role played by Chinese scientists in the experiment?
A. Playing an important part. B. Leading the experiment.
C. Just processing the data. D. Starting the experiment.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Book about Black Holes B. How Einstein Discovered a Black Hole
C. How a Black Hole Is formed D. First Image of a Black Hole Taken
