26、While people are traveling more than ever, there are still unimagined adventures. Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, shares some.

Sleep in a suspended pod

Calea, Peru

Hanging out in Peru takes on a whole new meaning when you book a room hanging from the side of a mountain. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this before,” says Hall. “You’re overlooking the Sacred Valley, one of the most popular places to stay in the country.”

Trampoline(蹦床) underground

Gwynedd, Wales

Northern Wales has found a clever use for one of its old mines, turning a former industrial site into an underground trampoline park. Visitors find rope ladders and slides, and a line of trampolines spreading nearly a mile. “When my kids saw them, they went crazy absolutely,” Hall says.

Surf down the side of a volcano

Cerro Negro, Nicaragua

Thrill-seekers don’t need surf or snow on this active volcano. Tour companies bring visitors to the peak, which is covered with fine black ash. “You climb up it, jump on a board, and you go very fast for a long way. It’s an exciting ride,” Hall says.

See art inside a bunker

Berlin

Take in art and history at the Boros Collection--a private art gallery housed inside a World War II bunker. The building, which once protected Nazi leaders, served as a nightclub after the fall of the Berlin Wall. “It was pretty hard to get rid of because it’s so well-constructed,” Hall says. “Now it has some very interesting and unusual art.”

【1】What about the room in Calea impresses Tom Hall most?

27、Are you learning another language? Maybe you’re trying to study it for work or study, or maybe you’re trying to master it just for the fun of it? Language learning is nothing new, of course, but technology has made it easier than ever to learn.

The popularity (流行) of language-learning apps in particular has increased around the world, especially as more people are working or studying at home. They are usually easy and convenient to use because you can use them on your smartphone. And apps can offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes or schools or universities.

Many of us aim to speak two languages to enable us to communicate with people around the world. But, maybe surprisingly, the British, who are not famous for their love for language learning, are leading the way in the growth of these apps. US company Duolingo told the BBC that in 2020 new user numbers globally were up 67% compared with 2019, while in the UK they increased by 132%, almost double the worldwide average.

But for anyone trying a new language, what encourages them to carry on learning when there isn’t a teacher around to manage their progress? Colin Watkins from Duolingo told the BBC that for UK learners at least, “people are learning because of culture, brain training, family, and relationships, along with school and travel. We want a positive use of our time, and to do something productive (富有成效的) on our apps.” The recent lockdowns have given us more time to do this. Certainly, speaking two or more languages is a good thing, and helps us to bring the world a little closer together.

【1】What has made learning a language easier?

A．Teachers.

B．New teaching methods.

C．Technology: apps.

D．Learners’ goals.

【2】Which one is NOT the reason for the popularity of language-learning apps?

A．They are not difficult to use.

B．They are interesting.

C．They can offer more languages.

D．They are convenient to use.

【3】What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?

A．The number of language app users is increasing.

B．Many of them want to speak two languages.

C．The British are using language-learning apps.

D．The British are leading the rise in the use of language-learning apps.

【4】What is Colin Watkins’ attitude to language-learning apps?

A．Positive. (肯定的)

B．Negative. (否定的)

C．Indifferent. (冷漠的)

D．Critical. (批判的)

29、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 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 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．1anguage can help brain power

D．1anguage 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】We may know from the scientific findings that ______.

A．the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is

B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn't know a second language

C．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people's brain

D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

【4】The underlined word “bilinguals'’ probably means ______.

A．a researcher on language learning

B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages
