23、 If you plan to learn a foreign language, you might think it’s going to be really challenging. You’ve probably heard a lot of talks about how it’s easier to learn languages as a young child, and that learning as an adult can be difficult. You might even know friends or family members who have tried to learn a foreign tongue and failed. That’s because they are surrounded by the failure. We’re here to cheer you up with some good news and inspire you to get started.
The amazing adult brain: whether you can learn languages at any age? Scientists are always learning about the human brain. Decades ago, experts believed that the brain developed during childhood and then kept that way for life. However, modern studies have shown us that the brain has the ability to continually form new neural (神经的) connections throughout adulthood. A 2010 Swedish study tested two groups of people, one in the range of age 21 through 30 and another between 65 and 80. Remarkably, they found no significant differences in neuroplasticity (神经可塑性). In other words, this suggests that it’s possible for you to learn new things at any age.
Besides being possible to learn languages: research also suggests that it improves the adult brain in general. In a 2012 Chinese study, experts looked at a group of adults who were learning Mandarin over a nine-month period. They found that these adults showed improved integrity in their white matter, the part of the brain that allows neural cells to communicate. The better your neural cells communicate, the easier it will be for you to learn new things.
Why may adults have an easier time learning? Children might be blessed with a naturally high degree of neuroplasticity, but that doesn’t mean learning is necessarily easier for them. In fact, adult brains have a number of great qualities that might actually make learning easier, especially if you take advantage of free language learning apps like Mondly.
【1】Why do some adults fail in the language learning?
A.Because they have bad memories.
B.Because they have no plans for language learning.
C.Because language learning is too difficult for adults to learn.
D.Because maybe they are influenced by some adults who have failed.
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.Children can learn a language more easily.
B.Adults can learn a language even at old age.
C.The learning apps like Mondly are good for children.
D.Adults can learn a language more easily after learning Chinese.
【3】What will the text refer to next?
A.How to learn a new language for adults.
B.How to use the app Mondly.
C.How to improve neuroplasticity.
D.How to tell the kids to learn a language.
24、A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshiping South Korean actors Kin Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods(偶像). Chinese netizens always have different opinions. Over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China, And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs (继承者们) have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.
The two TV programs have several common elements (因素):a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella-type stories.
The widening wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV drams describe. In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market’s demands.
Many netizens even said at an earlier time that South Korean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的) themes: traffic accidents, cancer and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs, which Chinese directors can use as examples, as well as inspiration, to improve their productions.
【1】What is the main reason for a new round of popularity in China?
A. The dramas are from the neighboring country North Korea.
B. Most of the Chinese netizens have voted for them.
C. The actors in the dramas are all gods.
D. It is because of You Who Came From The Star.
【2】Which is NOT included in the elements for the success of South Korean dramas?
A. Charming pure love stories.
B. A tender kiss and a warm hug.
C. Handsome and rich heroes.
D. The heroine’s blind love with the rich.
【3】 The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that they are designed to _______.
A. develop in a large scale
B. be measured to a certain size
C. meet popular taste purposely
D. be shown in a big market
【4】The main purpose of stereotyped themes in South Korean dramas is to________.

25、Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of her country’s persistent (持续的) problems: garbage and poverty (贫困). It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a (n) _________ of local snack lovers: Rather than _________ your empty chip bags into the trash (垃圾桶), _________ them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the _________.
Chip eaters drop off their _________ bags from Doritos (多力多滋薯片), Lay’s (乐事薯片), and other favorites at two _________ in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they _________ the chip bags in soapy hot water, they _________ them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use soft materials from old coats to line the insides.
It _________ about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, __________ whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry __________,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has __________ more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, __________ 110 sleeping bags.
Sure, it would be simpler to __________ the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the __________ for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of __________ a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are__________ ourselves to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the __________ and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problems and poverty often go __________. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show __________ between all of these issues.”
