One summer during high school, my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree. It’s terrible to imagine hours spent dusting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn’t know. “You’ll be surprised,” my mom promised. “Family history can be very interesting.”
In truth, Grandpa didn’t want to limit(限定) my work to just research, hoping to also keep our family memories. He’d discovered a computer program that helped digitally scan(扫描) old pictures and letters to maintain their contents before they crumble from age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. He could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.
Soon after, I became interested my relatives’ lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives. I became so eager for more information that Grandpa needed additional props(道具) to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.
Looking through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window to the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me letters he had sent to Grandma from the front line of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother’s recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been only names to me now had faces to match.
Later, Grandpa admitted, “I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with.” I can’t thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me who I am.
4. Which can best describe the author’s first impression of the research
A. Delightful. B. Boring.
C. Surprising. D. Interesting.
5. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Come to life. B. Tear apart.
C. Fall to pieces. D. Break through.
6. Why did Grandpa give the author a chest
A. To show him old letters. B. To keep him away from boredom.
C. To give him something to sort out. D. To satisfy his eagerness to know more.
7. What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage
A. He possibly served as a soldier in the past.
B. He knew nothing about the computer.
C. He buried the letters under gunpowder
D. He loved sharing what he had with others
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A

What do you think of being roommates with someone from a totally different generation Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (跨代的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Since 1971, there has been a major rise in intergenerational living arrangements in the United States, which refers to people from different generations living together with at least one generation gap. In fact, data show that this number has actually become four times larger since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were 59.7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are many factors that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age (寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college educational fees, the ever rising rentals and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
A 25-year-old student Nadia Abdullah and her 64-year-old roommate Judith were content with their present life. Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from her working place. Nadia was matched with Judith through a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the knowledge you just can’t Google — showing me how to garden, how to cook fish and add French Romanticism to life.”
8. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Different generations are living under the same roof.
C. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
10. What is the Kaplan’s attitude towards this housing trend
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.
11. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在美国，越来越多的隔代人群选择居住在同一屋檐下。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 1971, there has been a major rise in intergenerational living arrangements in the United States, which refers to people from different generations living together with at least one generation gap. In fact, data show that this number has actually become four times larger since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were 59.7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.( 自1971年以来，美国代际居住安排大幅增加，代际居住是指不同世代的人住在一起，至少有隔代。事实上，数据显示，从那时起，这个数字实际上已经增加了四倍。在皮尤研究中心的一篇文章中分享说，到2021年3月，有5970万美国人几代人住在一个屋檐下。)”可知，自1971年以来，美国的代际居住安排大幅增加，可知，文章中所提到的这种正在增长的住房趋势指的是“不同代人群在同一屋檐下居住”。故选B 项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“There are many factors that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college educational fees, the ever rising rentals and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.(对于这些类型的安排，有许多因素在起作用。对一些人来说，这是因为平均预期寿命的延长、出生率的下降、大学教育费用的上涨、房租的不断上涨等等。但如果有什么不同的话，许多人说，这一增长背后的一个主要原因是老年人有空间出租，而有年轻人在身边让他们更快乐。)”可知，本段主要分析了“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”这种安排的原因。故选B 项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the knowledge you just can’t Google—showing me how to garden, how to cook fish and add French Romanticism to life.(在此期间，我和莎拉一起住在哈佛。她提供了你无法在谷歌上搜索到的知识——教我如何园艺，如何烹饪鱼，以及如何将法式浪漫主义融入生活。)”可知 ，Kaplan对于这种住房趋势是积极态度。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from her working place. (这能让她居住在距离工作地点仅仅6英里的地方)”可知， Nadia很满意和年老的人一起居住；以及最后一段中“She provided the knowledge you just can’t Google—showing me how to garden, how to cook fish and add French Romanticism to life. (她提供了你无法在谷歌上搜索到的知识——教我如何园艺，如何烹饪鱼，以及如何将法式浪漫主义融入生活。)”可知，Kaplan 认为这中居住方式有特别之处。从他们的经历可推断隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住结果很好。故选C项。
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. Like exercise shapes and strengthens muscles, learning a language can have a similar effect on your brain.
The study also found the effect is greater, if the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density(灰质密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure(结构)of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and cognition(认知)were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you can enter another world,” explained the scientists.
12. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to _________.
A. encourage a regular fitness practice and an active lifestyle
B. show the importance of using the language when learning
C. suggest that learning a second language can improve physical fitness
D. highlight the similarities between language learning and physical exercise
13. According to the passage, what did the study led by Dr Andrea Mechelli show
A. Learning a second language increases gray matter density.
B. Later language learning has a bigger influence on brain structure.
C. Language learning leads to lower gray matter density in the brain.
D. Learning a second language has no effect on the structure of the brain.
14. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. learning a second language is only helpful during childhood
B. native Italian speakers learning English were similarly studied
C. Learning a second language brings greater advantages if started young
D. bilingual will be more successful than a person who speaks only one language
15. The best title of this passage is _________.
A. Language Learning Increases IQ
B. Bilingual Helps Learning Mathematics
C. Learning a Second Language Improves Brain Power
D. Language Learning Unlocks the Door to A New World
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍学习第二语言会提升脑力，使人变得更聪明，而且越早学习第二语言，阅读、写作和认知能力会更好。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段第二句和第三句“Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. Like exercise shapes and strengthens muscles, learning a language can have a similar effect on your brain.”(研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变灰质。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。就像锻炼塑造和增强肌肉一样，学习一门语言也会对你的大脑产生类似的影响。)可知，锻炼能强身健体，学习第二语言能提升脑力。所以作者提及“锻炼”是强调二者之间相似的影响，突出学习第二语言对脑力的作用。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。文章第四段第一句“Scans showed that gray matter density(灰质密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.”(扫描显示，会讲两种语言的人大脑 中的灰质密度比没有第二语言的人要大。)和文章第五段““Our findings suggest that the structure(结构)of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.”(科学家们说：“我们的研究结果表明“学习第二语言的经历会改变大脑的结构。这意味着变化本身提高了学习能力。”)可知， Dr Andrea Mechelli 的研究表明学习第二语言会提升大脑灰密度的区域，改变大脑的结构。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。文章第六段第二句““Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.””(他说：“拥有两种语言可以给你打开两扇世界之窗，让大脑更灵活。”。“你实际上超越了语言，对不同的想法有了更好的理解。”)和文章第七段第二句和第三句“Reading, writing, and cognition(认知)were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.”(阅读、写作和认知都进行了测试。结果表明，他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。)可知，学习第二语言能打开另一扇了解世界的窗户，而且年纪越早学习，阅读、写作和认知能力就会发展得更好。所以年纪小时开始学习第二语言，获得的优势更多。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第二段第一句“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.”(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。)可知，文章主要介绍学习第二语言可以提升脑力。故选C项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“You will always stay connected anywhere with your phone, email, and social media.(无论你在哪里，都可以通过你的手机号码、电子邮件地址或社交媒体账户与你联系)”以及后文“Below are some tips that can help you to minimize(降低) digital distractions and increase your focus.(以下是一些可以帮助你降低数字干扰并提高注意力的建议)”可知，上文提到可以通过你的手机号码、电子邮件地址或社交媒体账户与你联系，后文则提到了数字干扰，可知本句是在说明结果：导致了我们所说的数字干扰， C选项中 digital distractions对应后文中digital distractions。故C选项“这些导致了我们所说的‘数字干扰’”符合语境， 故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Turn on “Don’t disturb(打扰)” when studying. I like spending about 30 minutes reading by using the Kindle app(a kind of reading app).(学习的时候打开“请勿打扰”。我喜欢用Kindle（一种应用程序）阅读大约30分钟) ”以及后文“Because of this, I can focus completely on my reading.(因为这样， 我可以完全专注于我的阅读)”可知，本句是在说明作者减少干扰的方法：手机上没有社交应用。故A选项“我手机上没有社交应用”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“The fear of missing out adds our constant need for connectivity, which is one of the main causes of digital distractions.(对错过信息的恐惧增加了我们对数据连接的持续需求，而这正是造成数字干扰的主要原因之一) ”以及后文“You can do this by checking your messages before study.( 你可以在学习前查看你的信息)”可知，上文提到了数字干扰的原因，可推测本句是在说明防止数字干扰的方法：防止它进入你的学习时间。故F选项“你必须防止它进入你的学习时间”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文“You don’t have to be always available. When you say that you do not have time, people will respect you. No one will force you to be free because no one can control your life.(你不必总是有空。当你说你没有时间的时候，人们会尊重你。没有人会强迫你自由，因为没有人能控制你的生活)”可知，后文提到告诉别人说你没有时间，来减少数字干扰，B选项中you do not have time对应后文中you do not have time。故B选项“告诉别人你没空”符合语境， 故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Turn your “should do” into a “must do”. Instead of treating your study time as optional or flexible, let others know that your study time is important and should not be interrupted (打断) unless it’s an emergency.(把“应该做的”变成“必须做的”。不要把你的学习时间当作可选择的或灵活的，要让别人知道你的学习时间很重要，除非有紧急情况，否则不应该被打断)”可知，上文提到把“应该”改成“必须”时，故本句说明这么做的结果：从干扰中解放出来，提高专注力。故G选项“因此，你将能从数字干扰中解放出来，提高专注力”符合语境，故选G。

【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：到了宋代（960年-1279年），这种工具被广泛使用。此句修饰动词used，需用副词。be widely used翻译为“被广泛应用”。故填widely。

考查名词。句意：由青铜或陶瓷制成(陶器), 古代的暖手器有各种各样的（设计），里面有燃烧的木炭或者煤炭。design为可数名词，且有various表示“各种各样的”修饰，用复数形式。故填designs。

One summer during high school, my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree. It’s terrible to imagine hours spent dusting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn’t know. “You’ll be surprised,” my mom promised. “Family history can be very interesting.”
In truth, Grandpa didn’t want to limit(限定) my work to just research, hoping to also keep our family memories. He’d discovered a computer program that helped digitally scan(扫描) old pictures and letters to maintain their contents before they crumble from age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. He could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.
Soon after, I became interested my relatives’ lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives. I became so eager for more information that Grandpa needed additional props(道具) to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.
Looking through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window to the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me letters he had sent to Grandma from the front line of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother’s recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been only names to me now had faces to match.
Later, Grandpa admitted, “I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with.” I can’t thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me who I am.
4. Which can best describe the author’s first impression of the research
A Delightful. B. Boring.
C. Surprising. D. Interesting.
5. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Come to life. B. Tear apart.
C. Fall to pieces. D. Break through.
6. Why did Grandpa give the author a chest
A. To show him old letters. B. To keep him away from boredom.
C. To give him something to sort out. D. To satisfy his eagerness to know more.
7. What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage
A. He possibly served as a soldier in the past.
B. He knew nothing about the computer.
C. He buried the letters under gunpowder
D. He loved sharing what he had with others
C
What do you think of being roommates with someone from a totally different generation Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (跨代的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Since 1971, there has been a major rise in intergenerational living arrangements in the United States, which refers to people from different generations living together with at least one generation gap. In fact, data show that this number has actually become four times larger since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were 59.7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are many factors that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age (寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college educational fees, the ever rising rentals and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
A 25-year-old student Nadia Abdullah and her 64-year-old roommate Judith were content with their present life. Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from her working place. Nadia was matched with Judith through a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the knowledge you just can’t Google — showing me how to garden, how to cook fish and add French Romanticism to life.”
8. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Different generations are living under the same roof.
C. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
10. What is the Kaplan’s attitude towards this housing trend
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.
11. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. Like exercise shapes and strengthens muscles, learning a language can have a similar effect on your brain.
The study also found the effect is greater, if the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density(灰质密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure(结构)of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and cognition(认知)were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you can enter another world,” explained the scientists.

A. encourage a regular fitness practice and an active lifestyle
B. show the importance of using the language when learning
C. suggest that learning a second language can improve physical fitness
D. highlight the similarities between language learning and physical exercise

A. Learning a second language increases gray matter density.
