21、Speaking two languages deeply affects the brain and changes how the nervous system reacts to sound, and researches have shown that learning a foreign language can strengthen brain power, but a new study suggests that the effects go further to those who begin in middle childhood.
It indicates that people who began learning a foreign language at 10 and were always exposed to the language, meaning they heard and used it in daily life, had improvements in the structure of the brain’s white matter compared with people who grew up speaking only one language and did not learn a foreign language.
These “higher levels of structural integrity(完整性)” were in areas responsible for language learning and semantic(语义的)processing, which occurs when the meaning of a word is encoded and related to similar words with similar meaning.
The new findings, published in the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, studied brain scans from 200 subjects(实验者), all around the age of 30, who lived in Britain for at least 13 months. They all started learning English as a foreign language at the age of 10.
Their imaging scans were compared with people of similar age who spoke only English. The study was led by Christos of the University of Kent School of Psychology in Britain.
“Everyday dealing with more than one language benefits specific language-related brain structures by preserving their integrity, and therefore it protects them against deterioration in older age,” the study found.
【1】Who may have stronger brain power according to the text?
A．A person who learns English as a foreign language.
B．A person who speaks English as a mother language.
C．A person who can speak English well at an early age.
D．A person who hears and uses English in everyday life.
【2】What can we know from 200 subjects’ brain scans?
A．The 200 subjects lived in Britain to learn English.
B．The 200 subjects studied English at the age of 30.
C．The structure of their brains’ white matter improved.
D．The structure of their brains’ white matter disappeared.
【3】What does the underlined word “deterioration” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Evolving.
B．Reaction.
C．Worsening.
D．Formation.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
A．Speaking two languages affects the brain seriously.
B．Speaking two languages changes how the brain works.
C．Learning a foreign language can affect people’s childhood.
D．Learning a foreign language at 10 strengthens brain power.
22、 A newspaper said a federal judge sentenced Bruce Jones to 12 years in federal prison for fraud (欺诈). Over a 10-year period, Jones had managed to cheat thousands of people throughout the state out of almost $10 million.
He advertised his fantastic ideas on TV. “For some reason,” Jones said, “TV seems to break the ice. Even though you are a total stranger to the viewer, once he sees you on TV in his home, he feels like he knows you. You enter his living room and become a trusted friend.”
Jones had an imagination that wouldn’t quit. One time he showed viewers an “official government” earthquake report which “proved” that the western half of California would collapse into the sea within three years. For $100, he said, Jones would insure your house and property for full value. Thousands of people who saw that TV ad sent him a hundred dollars each.
In another TV ad, Jones claimed that he had come to an agreement with the federal and state government for exclusive(独享的)air rights. He told viewers that, for only $100, they could own the first 10 miles above all their property. You would be able to charge any commercial plane that flew over your property $100 per crossing. You would also be able to charge government rockets, satellites, space shuttles, and space stations $100 for each and every violation of your air rights.
Another time, Jones claimed to have invented a product that gets rid of calories. He showed the viewers a spray can of “NoCal.” He said that by simply spraying NoCal on your food, a chemical interaction would cause all the calories in the food to simply disappear within about 10 seconds. The NoCal was only $10 a can. As usual, Jones received thousands of checks in the mail.
The judge told Jones that he should be ashamed of himself. Jones responded that he was very ashamed of himself, and that when he got out of prison he hoped to become a TV adviser to help people avoid getting cheated. He told the judge that he was already developing an instructional CD that, for merely $100, would save people thousands of dollars in scams(骗局). The judge nodded, and then changed Jones’ sentence from 10 years to 12 years.
【1】According to Jones, he could successfully cheat many people mainly because _____.
A．he promised them a large profit.
B．they were too eager to make money.
C．they believed too much in TV.
D．he was skillful in communicating with people.

A．Jones showed unusual imagination in his tricks.
B．Jones was closely related to the state government.
C．Western California was in danger of going under the sea.
D．Jones felt guilty and was determined to lead a new life.
【3】We can infer that people who wanted to buy “NoCal” from Jones .
A．were mainly from low income families.
B．all had a rich knowledge of chemistry.
C．were probably interested in losing weight.
D．usually did the shopping through the Internet.
【4】The judge changed the sentence at last because ____.
A．Jones was planning another big scam.
B．Jones denied what he had done.
C．Jones had cheated more people than he expected.
D．he had suffered from Jones’ scams himself.
23、Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like”a shot in the arm”，which”makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said，”The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，”Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂
【1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
【2】Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C. you have to make things on your own
D. it will finally build your character
【3】What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. His website inspires others a lot. D. He used to work as a salesman.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Light
C. Travel Alone D. Travel Wide and Far
24、When my brother Joey was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying.
“He’s blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.”
I looked at Joey. He was laughing. “He can’t be blind,” I said. “He smiles at my face.”
“He smiles at your voice,” she said. “He’ll never see your face.”
That was that. Joey was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joey boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille (盲文). When he was 16, the school said he’d learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joey moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apartment 30 miles (48 km) away. He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry, and do almost anything else he needed.
Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joey called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”
They shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our mother, who was his champion, and our stepfather, who was Joey’s best friend.
What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother clung with an iron fist (拳头) to three gifts: Faith, hope and love.
His faith grew stronger. He always had hope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite death or disappointment. Loved ones leave, but love remains.
The years ahead may prove to be his hardest. His legs are growing weaker, threatening to take away the independence he’s fought so hard to keep.
My sister and I often wonder what will happen if Joey can’t live on his own. It’s not up to us. We’ll do what we can, but it’s his life. He won’t have it any other way.
You don’t find strength to do something until it’s time to do it. Joey has found it whenever he has needed it. I believe he will again.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My hero — Domi
Five years ago, I had a strange dream, directing me to adopt a particular dog. It was obvious from the dream that I would know the dog by his unusual face. But when I woke up, I could never recall what the unique facial feature was.
I was very curious. So early one Saturday morning, I went to the specified shelter to check the available adoptees. After looking carefully at all the dogs, I was disappointed that not one dog had anything unusual about its face.
On my way out of the shelter, I noticed a box of puppies (小狗) just outside of view from the main area. My attention was drawn to one puppy named Domi who appeared to have no fur on his face. I was worried about this strange-looking puppy, and hoped he hadn’t been injured. However, on closer inspection, I found he did have fur on his face, but it was a very odd shade of gray that made it look like skin. Satisfied and relieved that he was okay, I turned to leave the shelter.
And then it hit me: The face — it’s the dog with the unusual face! Immediately, I returned to the puppy. As I lifted him from the box, we bonded instantly. I knew I could not leave without him so I headed for the adoption desk. In that short amount of time, he had wrapped his paws around my heart; his barks, quite different from other dogs’, had a soothing (抚慰的) and comforting quality, also touching my soul.
Meeting with the shelter manager, I was informed a family had already selected him. There was, however, still a slight chance since the family had not made their final decision. After an anxiety-filled hour, I saw a member of the family, the mother, walk straight toward me, carrying Domi. My heart pounded as she approached. For a moment, she didn’t say a word. Then, with a broad smile, she said, “Here’s your dog.”
注意：
