26、   Do you think about overseas trip but worry that you might make a less-than-worthy choice because you can’t afford to visit all the places on your wish list before you make your final decision? However, little money doesn’t mean you have to stay at home. 【1】

Hug the simple joy with travel. 【2】 Or even climb to the top of a hill and watch the sun set over the ocean. The simple joy of being in a new place is just a matter of going some place new. No tour package required.

27、   If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammars and sometimes strange pronunciations, 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 when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mecheli, 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 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 2 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 study can help improve 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.show the importance of using the language when you learn it

D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well

【3】The word “bilinguals” (Paragraph 3) probably means ________.

A.researchers on language learning B.second language learners

C.persons who can speak two languages D.active language learners

28、   Chinese high school students who want to enter the Universily of Cambridge may find that their scores on the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, will help their applications in the future.

The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria (标准)for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account. In addition to top scores on gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject-specific wrillcn admission assessment (评估).

The gaokao has been crilicized by some as a one shot exam that focuses on rote learning (死记硬背)rather than creativity. However, more and more people believe that there's no perfect predictor (侦测指标) of academic performance, and gaokao has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced (标准参照) exam—tests when her students are able to master a given body of knowledge , as well as their ability to work hard and consistently. Recent years have seen more and more foreign universities begin to accept gaokao scores as part of the application process.

Despite the gaokao's growing acceptance among US universities, "There is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognizes the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don't accept it as part of their application process, " (Chu Zhaohui. a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences, told the Global Times.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.

A.Chinese applicants need to apply for a Weibo account before attending the tests

B.apart from the scores on gaokao, Chinese students need to take part in other tests

【3】It is suggested in the last paragraph that ________.

A.gaokao will be abolished (废除)in the near future

B.most of the US universities have accepted gaokao as their admission criterion

C.it will take a long time for more US universities to accept gaokao
