The aim: to decide whether the walrus is an endangered species ‎(物种).‎ ‎ In 1990, biologists counted 201,039 walruses in the Arctic Ocean.‎ Now, over 20 years later, it seems there are fewer. After three years of counting, the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that there are only 15,164 walruses in the area. But, scientists say, "They've not finished counting. "‎ ‎ "We're still working on the final population estimate," said Suzann. She is a wildlife biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.‎ Endangered Species?‎ ‎ What's a possible reason for the lower walrus count? Brendan Cummings, a 9‎ ‎ spokesperson for the Center for Biological Diversity (多样性), thinks many walruses are dying. He believes global warming is melting the ice in the waters between Alaska and Russia. That's the area where most walruses live. However, they can't live without ice.‎ ‎ But other scientists aren't so sure that the walruses are dying out. The US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Doug Bum said, "We realized we were missing a lot of walrus groups. " So the walrus count goes on. The counting hasn't been easy. Scientists sometimes have to guess the number of walruses that are underwater.‎ ‎ US law requires scientists to count the walruses every three years. Then, if the mammals (哺乳动物) turn out to be an endangered species, they will be counted every year.‎ ‎66. What's the purpose of counting walruses in the Arctic Ocean?.‎ ‎ A. To study the living habits of walruses.‎ ‎ B. To show the bad environment of the earth.‎ ‎ C. To see whether the walruses belong to the endangered animals.‎ ‎ D. To see whether the Arctic Ocean is suitable for people to live in.‎ ‎67. What does the underlined word "estimates" mean in Chinese?‎ ‎ A．创造 B．估算 C．分析 D．制造 ‎68. According to the US law, scientists will count the walruses every year if they are ___.‎ ‎ A. missing B. endangered ‎ C. sold out D. under the water ‎69. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. The counting of the walrus is easy.‎ ‎ B. Brendan Cummings is a biologist of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.‎ 9‎ ‎ C. In 1990, biologists counted only 15,164 walruses in the Arctic Ocean.‎ ‎ D. Brendan Cummings believes global Warming makes the walruses fewer.‎ ‎70. What is the best title of the passage? '‎ ‎ A.

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 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.”‎ 9‎ 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 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. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study ‎2．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.‎ A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner ‎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．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.‎ A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language ‎【答案】‎ ‎1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 9‎ ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了语言学习可以提高你的智力，语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作体育锻炼能促进肌肉健全，说明语言学习对大脑的促进有类似的作用。‎ ‎1．C主旨大意题。作者在第一段中就提出了本文的主题，然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入地阐述，即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。故选C。‎ ‎2．C词义猜测题。根据本词前后的解释“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.”，可知其意思应是“a person who can speak two languages”。故选C。‎ ‎3．A推理判断题。根据Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.可知学习第二语言越早，灰质密度越大。故选A。‎ ‎4．B段落大意题。根据文章大意，作者在最后两段继续阐明其中心论点，即外语学习宜早不宜迟。可知故选B。‎ ‎【难度】一般 9‎
