vocabulary. It also prowides children with a reading model. Reading alo::d doesn't just benefit
young children Parents should continue reading aloud as their children grow because listening
comprehension is more importarit than reading skills in middle school.
Jim Trelease,in his Read-Aloud Handbook,has noted that almost as big a mistake as not
reading to chiidren at all is stopping too soon Until about the eighth grade,children listen aml
comprehend on a higher level than their reading skills allow them to read independently, This
means children can hear and understand stories that are more difficult and more interesting than
anything they can read on their own

Whenevcr you buy something,it is possible that someone has already worn,eaten,or teste.d
it to make sure it is safe and do what is supposed to do. But what if you wanted a special suit to
keep a shark from hurting you? Who wanta +o test a product like it?
"I do! " says Jeremiah Sullwan,a scientist in California "You have to believe in what you
sell,right?"
Sullivan. owns SharkArmor Tech,a company that makes a $ 49400 sharksuit that even a
great white shark can- t bite through Before Sullivan could sell his sharksuits,he needed to
make sure his design would work. Sullivan put on the sharksuit and jumped into a shark feeding
ground. "I need to know exactly what a human body could expect to go through," he says.
Sharks moved ali ar.ound Hm and then attacked his arm. Sullivan felt the bite but no teeth.He was uncomfortable at times,but not painfuL The suit works! "
"I,ve now been bitten thousands of times but.never badly," says Sullivan,who now works with shows like Wild Kingdmn, ana programs for the Disco'oery Channel s Shan~ Week.
So,are you all set to buy a sharksuit? Before you do,you should know that th. e suit weighs
20 pounds and makes swimming almost impossible-not so practical for a day on the beach. And
in fact, Sullivan wants only .professionals, such as filmmakers, scientists and drivers, to have
sharksuits. Why? Because even if someone is wearing a sharksuit,they could get seriously hurt
if they treat diving with a 4,OOO-pound shark as a game.
During sharksuit testing,sharks have thrown Sullivan to a bottom o/ reefs(磙) and tried to
take him off into the deepest part of the ocean. "However," Sullivan sa}fs,"you don't need to
be afraid of sharks. It-s actually pretty hard to get a shark to bite you, "
68. The first paragraph is written to .
A start a discussion B. introduce the topic of the text
C show the main points of the text D. test readers' knowledge
69. Why did Sullivan get close to sharks?
A To see if hiS sharksLut works. B. To study what sharks feed on.
c. To catch a special kind of white shark. D. To learn how to swim with sharks safely,
70. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean?
A Most people won't wear the sharksuit to the beach
B. People like to go to the beach with the sharksLut.
C. The sharksuit makes a perfect day on the beach
D. The sharksuit can-t be worn for a whole day.
71. We can learn from the text that the sharksuit _
A works well for swimmers B is light but uncomfortable
C, keeps sharks away from humans D. is designed for special purpose

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain,
a new study has found,
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cogrutive(认知的) task
to another,something that-s knovrn to take longer for older adults,said lead researcher,Brian
Gold,a neuroscientist ar the Uruversif.y of Kentucky.
Gold-s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults,knowing th.ey
would fjp.d slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However,they
fouiid that oider adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster
cietlned in tne st,idy as peopie speaking a second iangUage aaily since they wereat ieast 10 yeats
old
Gold and his team asked 30 people,either bilingual o: nionolingual(只僮一种语言 人) ,tu
have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not oniy able to switch tasks
faster-they had different brain acti/ty than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experimentY, because people grow up
speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefjfs from
sv,tching between languages aml determirung whi:h to respond with based on what's going on
around them.
Gold said he grew up in Montreal,where he spoke Frencb. at school and Er.glish at hcme,
promptipg relatives to question v:hether his French language immersion would somehow hinder
his abiiity to learn Englisl:.
"Until wery recently9 liearning a second language in childhood was thought of as danger-
ous," he said. "Actually,it's beneficial. "
72. What-s the main idea of the passage?
A Researchers found that speaking two languages is hnportant.
B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.
C. Researchers found that bilingual peopie can slow down the speed or aging on the brain
and respond fast.
D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.
73. Which of the followirLg is TRUE according to the passage?
A Oider bilinguals can-t respond faster in mind.
B. Older add.ts speaking a second language daily since tF,ey were at least 10 years old can
respond faster than those who don't
C. Young biiinguals can respond fast:er in mind tnan those monolinguals.
D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.
74. Kristina called bilingualism "a beautif'ul natural experimen+" because
A people grow up,benefiting from speaking two languages
B, people speaking two languages.are natural .
C. people speaking two languages are beautiful
D. people speaking two languages like the experiment
75. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in chilclhooci is- .
A aangerous to children B. not beneficial to children
