26、It is universally acknowledged that adults, especially older ones, can’t learn language as easily as children can. However, contrary to conventional thinking, a new study shows that adult learners, even as beginners, could process sentence structures in new language much like native speakers. 【1】 Follow these tips and you can make the process more fun and more successful.
Find your motivation.
Wish you had paid more attention in high school Spanish? Consider why you didn’t. Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to fulfill a graduation requirement. 【2】 But the most successful language students are internally motivated, sincerely absorbed in their own learning. So pick a language you are excited to use.
Pick your tools.
It might take some trial and error, but you will figure out which resources work best for you. Mobile apps such as Duolingo and Babble gamify your learning. Consider a conversation-based class like Italki or Idlewild. And don’t neglect textbooks, grammar guides, and workbooks with answer keys. 【3】
Dive in.
【4】 Watch movies or listen to songs, even if they are just on in the background. Periodically look around you and see how many things you can name in the language you are studying. Or better yet, label items around your home with those words. You will have no choice but to see them and, in very little time, learn them.
【5】
Practicing with other people helps solidify what you’ve already learned and make you more aware of which ideas you are able to express. These don’t need to be native speakers you chat with, though various websites and apps such as Languageexchange.com, HelloTalk, and TalkAbroad can connect you with some.
A．Get social.
B．Don’t sweat your mistakes.
C．Linguists call them external motivators.
D．Involve yourself in the chosen language as much as you can.
E．Knowing multiple languages can make you seem more attractive.
F．So if you dream of learning another language, your age does not disqualify you.
G．You may even enjoy children’s stories with simple vocabularies and accessible narratives.
27、Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting th e message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs of complacency.
【1】What do activists worry about?
A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.
B. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.
C. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.
D. People may stop worrying about AIDS
【2】According to the passage, people's attitude toward the cure of AIDS is
A. optimistic. B. hopeless
C. pessimistic. D. realistic
【3】The Gallup Poll shows that the number of people___________.
A. who suffer from the worst disease -- AIDS has fallen.
B. who think AIDS is the country's top health killer has fallen.
C. who worry about AIDS and health problems has fallen.
D. who think AIDS threatens the countryside has fallen.
【4】According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?
A. The country is making progress against AIDS.
B. More and more people die of AIDS now.
C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.
D. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.
28、People who play computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests.
In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(认知的) skills didn’t get any smarter.
More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.
They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment.
Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet.
“If you’re(playing these games) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britain’s Medical Research Council. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isn’t the case.”
Computer games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work.
“There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world,” said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, US.
Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.
Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun.
“If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful,” said Philip Adey, a professor of psychology at King’s College in London.
If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.
He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “To stimulate(激发) the intellect, you need a real challenge,” Adey said, “Getting smart is hard work.”
【1】According to the article, which of the following is NOT useful to develop brain power?
A. Learning a language. B. Getting some physical exercise.
C. Playing challengeable games. D. playing fun games.
【2】What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. Playing brain games is as effective a means of improving the brain as Super Mario.
B. Playing Super Mario is a better means of improving the brain.
C. Playing brain games can’t improve cognitive skills.
D. Playing computer games can train the brain.
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A. Many studies show that brain games are an effective means of improving cognitive skills.
B. The skills used in brain games can be transferred to real life.
C. Participants took IQ test twice during the research on the effectiveness of brain games.
D. Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skills than video games.
【4】Which is another way of summing up Adey’s argument in the last paragraph?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. No pains, no gains. D. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
29、A creative mind is the door to unlimited opportunities if people use their minds to their full capacity. Proving it to be true is Jackson Hedden, a 27-year-old industrial designer.
Jackson Hedden is an advocate of creative minds and creative ideas. He believes that every person is born creative but loses their creativity as they mature. This results in completely boring personalities and a lack of creative problem-solving techniques According to Jackson, the most significant way to find personal success is to allow creativity to shine through all ideas coming to life.
It is important to build a connection with anything one is working on. It is a common human characteristic that people tend to react to situations better if they have had a personal experience with them. This enables them to understand the problem better, resulting in more unique and innovative solutions to solve it. Following a similar approach, Jackson also establishes a connection with the products he is designing so that he can better understand the improvements he can bring to the existing design.
Jackson made his debut (首次露面)as an industrial designer in 2017 and worked with Karim Rashid, a New York-based industrial designer. This was his first exposure to the design industry, and Jackson learned a great deal. As this was just the beginning of his career, Jackson wished to explore more, so he worked together with the founder of Kabaq and the CEO of Alper Guler to become the exclusive designer for an augmented food reality startup. He then joined a Los Angeles-based firm, RKS Designs, and worked there for a period of two years.
Keeping up with the trends, Jackson’s designs are clean, innovative, and elegant. He has always kept himself in his customers’ shoes and designed the product according to their convenience. Having a keen interest in designs and creative works, Jackson is always interested in a challenge to build something new with his extraordinary design techniques.
【1】What does Jackson Hedden think of people’s creativity?
A．It can create opportunities for people.
B．It can disappear when people are fully grown.
C．It can be gained by hard work.
D．It can bring happiness to people.
【2】Why do people need to connect their personal experiences with what they are working on?
A．To creatively solve the problem.
B．To help others understand their work content.
C．To keep a proper balance between life and work.
D．To help handle more complex situations at work.
【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The working experiences of Jackson.
B．The achievements of Jackson.
C．The creative ability of Jackson.
D．The designing style of Jackson.
【4】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．Jackson often puts the customers as his first priority.
B．Jackson always considers the customers5 needs.
C．Jackson always knows the ideas of customers.
D．Jackson tends to buy the same shoes as customers.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.
What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to 【1】 this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a 【2】 argument for reading. The full quotation goes:
“At school you are 【3】 not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you 【4】 the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the 【5】 of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering 【6】 into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”
Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be 【7】 in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story 【8】 Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.
So the purpose of reading is not to memorize 【9】 everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no 【10】 opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.
