第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child — a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.

Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy or memorable tune.
Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”
1、The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.
A．recall the past B．amuse the readers
C．introduce the topic D．compare the past with the present
2、According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?
A．Hungarian B．Spanish
C．Italian D．English
3、From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.
A．singing is the best way to learn a foreign language
B．brain probably works best when foreign language learners sing the words
C．a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner
D．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other
4、What’s correct about the study undertaken by the researchers at the University of Edinburgh?
A．Altogether twenty adults were tested in the study.
B．People in the 3rd group performed as well as the other 2 groups.
C．People in the 2nd group were asked to speak the words to a beat.
D．In the study 60 adults were divided into 3 groups according to abilities.
5、In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?
A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C．A student is going to learn a new English song.
D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.

25．（10分）It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan — a character from James Matthew Barrie’s 1911 book — said: “All children, except one, grow up.”
But this “fact” doesn’t seem to apply to today’s world anymore.
According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the children’s toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials — people born between the 1980s and 2000s.
“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”.
According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today’s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far les
