21．（6分） “Don’t answer it,” I said to Sam. Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on; our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a full-time job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank.
Sam opened the door and it was Mervin.
“There’s a bird on the second floor,” he said. “It’s in trouble.”
Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most common of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄脏) your newly washed car. And
it wasn’t flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, “Number two.”
Sam asked him to repeat that. “Number two,” Mervin said. "The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it’s stuck to his foot.”
It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, “All right, then.” and walked away.
“Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here?” I said to Sam when he returned with his story. “It’s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course.” Sam didn’t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it.
They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.
1、How did the author feel about the knocks?
A．She felt bored. B．She was frightened.
C．She got excited. D．She was surprised.
2、Why was the pigeon moving in circles?
A．It was learning to fly.
B．It was badly injured.
C．It got caught in the rain.
D．It was trapped by its waste.
3、What did Sam use the cardboard box to do?
A．Shelter from rain.
B．Give it to Mervin.
C．Wash camping mats.
D．Make a nest for the bird.
4、What can we learn about Sam from the text?
A．He was brave. B．He was clever.
C．He was warm-hearted. D．He was easy-going.
22．8分）Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.

Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere(干预) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.
1、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?
A．The environment. B．Their peers
C．Mother’s sensitivity D．Education before birth
2、What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?
A．To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born
B．To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies
C．To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills
D．To prove that babies can learn before they are born
3、Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
A．The children of women who did not suffer from depression
B．The children of depressed but caring mothers
C．The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children
D．Children with high communication abilities
4、What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies
B．Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth
C．Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies’ intelligence
D．A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old
23．（8分） Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding(崭露头角的) archaeologists of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.
Romans?
“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists failed to find anything relating to the cropmark. There is anecdotal evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?”
Get involved
This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.
For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@.
1、If you intend to take part in the activity, you ________.
A．will be charged for using equipment
B．will be coached by experts in the field
C．should have worked with archaeologists before
D．should spare two weeks to stay at the site
2、What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A．To seek funding for archaeological research.
B．To appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.
C．To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.
D．To organize volunteers to help sort our data on the Roman occupation.
24．（8分） 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 grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, 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 grey matter density (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 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 (灵活的).” 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 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
1、The main subject talked about in this passage is ______.
A．science on learning a second language
B．man’s ability of learning a second language
C．language can help brain power
D．language learning and maths study
2、In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______.
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
3、The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______.
A．a researcher on language learning
B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C．a person who can speak two languages
D．an active language learner
25．（10分）The Bristol International Balloon Festival is a world-class hot air ballooning festival and is recognized as one of the UK’s top five outdoor events. Founded in 1978, the Festival has become a symbol for Bristol, the same as Brunel’s famous Suspension Bridge.
Held in the rolling hills of Ashton Court on the edge of Bristol, the Festival is hugely popular and completely free, attracting around half a million people from across the country and beyond. This year, for the first time, visitors will get to see how a hot air balloon is made. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the world’s largest hot air balloon producer, Cameron Balloons, will take on the challenge of constructing a passenger-carrying balloon, on site, in about four days.
Other events to look forward to at the Bristol International Balloon Festival include daredevil stunts(冒险特技表演) from the Red Arrows, over 250 trade stalls, local and international food stalls, and a funfair(露天游艺集市). Here’s what’s on in detail:
Thursday 11th August:
12 pm Gates Open and Trade Village open
6 pm Special Shapes Ascent — a number of hot air balloons will take to the sky
