25、

Zhou Youguang, known as the "father of Pinyin" was a Chinese. He was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, on 13 January 1906. At the age of ten, he and his family moved to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. In 1918, he entered Changzhou High School.

Zhou went to St. John's University in Shanghai in 1923. Then he went to Guanghua University in 1925. Later Zhou spent time in Japan as a foreign exchange student. After World War II, he moved to London, and then New York to work as a banker.

Zhou returned to China in 1949 to help his country build a modern economy(经济学). In 1955, the government invited him to make necessary changes to the Chinese language. It took him about three years to design Pinyin, and it was a success.

Today, with the wide use of computers and mobile phones, we use Pinyin to communicate with the world. The system is a bridge between China and the rest of the world."

26、   Some of Paul’s schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why British people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only an option. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!

【1】Which country is Paul from?

A.France. B.Germany.

C.Spain. D.The United Kingdom.

【2】According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn .

A.science or German B.history or science

C.French or history D.German or French

【3】What does the underlined word “option” mean in Chinese in paragraph 4?

A.选修课 B.必修课 C.实验课 D.艺术课

【4】Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?

A.They are good language learners.

B.They are famous for speaking foreign languages.

C.More than half of them only speak English.

D.56% of them speak at least one foreign language.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.English Speaking B.Young English Learners

C.Schools in England D.Language Learning in Britain

27、   Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning? Can you remember what you ate for lunch a week ago? You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. But now you should be thankful.

Scientists from University of Toronto found that forgetting actually is a key part of learning. Getting rid of (除去) unnecessary information can help our brains work better.

What kind of information is unnecessary? Scientists say that this may have something to do with the environment you live in.

In an environment that is always changing, our brains may require us to remember less. For example, a supermarket cashier (收银员) meets many people every day and will probably only remember them for a short time. But a designer (设计师) who often meets his or her clients (客户) will remember longer.

“That’s because our brains keep making new neurons (神经元) from stem cells (干细胞). ”said Paul Frankland, a professor at the University of Toronto.

There is a special area in our brains called hippocampus (海马体). It is important for us to learn and remember. When new neurons fit in the hippocampus, they renew our old memories. This could explain why you forget so much information about the time when you were very young.

However, being forgetful is not always good. When you don’t have enough sleep, you may have a hard time remembering new information. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information. Matthew Walker from the University of California told the Huffington Post.  

根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。

【1】Scientists found that forgetting things can help .

A.keep making new neurons B.our brains work better

C.change the environment D.have a good sleep

【3】According to the passage, the underlined word This refer to (指的是)   .

A.making new neurons from stem cells

B.learning and remembering new things

C.new neurons’ renewing our old memories

D.getting rid of unnecessary information

【4】   helps the brain store and keep new facts and information.

A.Having enough sleep B.Changing environment

C.Neurons’ fitting in the hippocampus D.Working hard

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.How to remember new information

B.How to forget things easily

C.Sleeping is important.

D.Forgetting is not bad.

28、   COVID-19 is now quickly spreading in the West. In many cities, schools and factories 【1】(close). Charles Randolph, 13, reads the news about the disease every day. He knows many people have no masks 【2】(protect) themselves. One day, the boy asked himself, "How can I make 【3】 difference?"

When Randolph was younger, the boy took 【4】(class) in 3D printing. He used to make for himself on the printer. Randolph thought for a while and came up 【5】a good idea: Perhaps he could 3D-print some masks for people 【6】 needed them.

Randolph 【7】(find) codes (代码) for masks on the internet. He then 【8】(glad) put them into the 3D printer. It took him about 90 minutes and cost him about a dollar to make each mask.

"The masks are the first meaningful things I've made," the boy says in a 【9】(proud) voice. "Now I'm making more masks and offering them to others."

The boy is also waiting for 【10】 great idea to appear in his head. He wants to solve more real-life problems!
