Are children smarter than adults The answer is “yes” when they learn new things. A new study shows that kids pick up new knowledge and skills faster than adults.
The study was carried out by famous scientists around the world. In the study, some kids and adults learned the same lessons of new information and skills. The children were 8 to 11 years old. And the adults were 18 to 35 years old. The scientists looked at their GABA (Y-氨基丁酸) levels before, during and after these lessons. GABA is a chemical (化学物质) that our brains produce. It helps us remember newly learned information.
According to the study, the GABA levels in the children’s brains increased quickly during the lessons. This increase lasted for several minutes after the lessons were over. In the adults, however, there was no change in their GABA levels during or after the lessons.
The scientists tested their learning The results found that the children did learn better. They learned more in the same amount of time than the adults.
This study encourages people to give children more chances to learn new skills. It could also be used to help adults learn faster. “We might develop a new technology, for example, to increase the amount of GABA in adults’ brain,” said one of the scientists.
66. What is the article mainly used to introduce
A. A science lesson. B. A science research.
C. A special chemical. D. A group of scientists.
67. Why do children learn new knowledge faster than adults according to the article

B. Because the adults are too busy to get more new knowledge.
C Because their brains produce GABA when they learn new knowledge.
D. Because the adults’ brains have fewer GABA levels than children.
68. What does the underlined word “amount” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese

Scientists say they have found plastic particles snow in the Arctic (北极地区). The snow isn’t only made of water
German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimeters (毫米) in length. They’re found not only in our air, but in our water. They end up in our wastewater when we use washing machines to wash clothes with plastic fibers (塑料纤维). The scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter of Arctic snow.
How do microplastics travel so far According to scientists, they fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.
Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in our air. There are even more of these plastics in the snow around cities.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the World Health Organization. We all know that our bodies can’t take in big pieces of microplastic. But if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time. This can be bad for our health.
70. What do we know about microplastics
A. They’re a new kind of plastic.
B. They’re light and can travel far.
C. Scientists only find them in snow.
D. They’re impossible to see.
71. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A. New findings about microplastics.
B. Whether microplastics are dangerous or not.
C. How microplastics end up inside our bodies.
D. How to get rid of microplastics.
72. What does the writer think about microplastics
A. The new finding about microplastics isn’t good.
B. People don’t need to worry about microplastics.
C. There are many ways to get rid of microplastics.
D. They’ll be a bigger problem in the future.
【答案】70. B 71. B 72. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家在北极地区发现的微塑料，并进一步讨论了微塑料可能对人造成的危害。
【70题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimeters (毫米) in length. They’re found not only in our air, but in our water.”和“How do microplastics travel so far ”可知，微塑料是小于5毫米的塑料片，可存在于空气中，还可以传播到远处。故选B。
【71题详解】
段落大意题。根据首句“Are they bad for us ”可知，最后一段主要讨论的是微塑料是否对我们有害。故选B。
【72题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一句“This can be bad for our health.”可知，微塑料对我们的健康有害，作者认为这一新发现不是个好消息。故选A。

The next morning, he went to the master and said, “There are hundreds of frogs in your pool. Will you allow me to take them to a far river ” The master nodded. Then the man went to the pool with a net. But he found there weren’t many frogs in the pool. “Where are the hundreds of frogs ” the man asked.
“Even at night, there were only some frogs. It was the noise that made you think their number was large. When you heard some people speaking ill of you, you thought everyone did so.

If parents want their children to have healthy eating habits, they can ask their children to learn to cook. When children learn to cook, they can know more about healthy food and cooking skills.
A school in Canada finds that more children eat fruit and vegetables after taking cooking classes. The school also finds that joining the cooking clubs can improve children’s lifestyles (生活方式) and make them want healthy food.
In the UK, many schools have cooking classes for students aged between 12 and 16. They take three hours’ classes before practicing cooking. Since 2007, a cooking activity called “Let’s Get Cooking” has helped more than 1.7 million children improve their cooking skills, through more than 5,000 school cooking clubs.
A few days ago, people did a study among 2,500 students of the activity. It showed that 92% of them used their cooking skills at home. Over half of the students said they ate more healthily after they learned to cook.
Let children learn to cook and have some cooking classes. They’ll live a healthier life by cooking!

Are children smarter than adults The answer is “yes” when they learn new things. A new study shows that kids pick up new knowledge and skills faster than adults.
The study was carried out by famous scientists around the world. In the study, some kids and adults learned the same lessons of new information and skills. The children were 8 to 11 years old. And the adults were 18 to 35 years old. The scientists looked at their GABA (Y-氨基丁酸) levels before, during and after these lessons. GABA is a chemical (化学物质) that our brains produce. It helps us remember newly learned information.
According to the study, the GABA levels in the children’s brains increased quickly during the lessons. This increase lasted for several minutes after the lessons were over. In the adults, however, there was no change in their GABA levels during or after the lessons.
The scientists tested their learning. The results found that the children did learn better. They learned more in the same amount of time than the adults.
This study encourages people to give children more chances to learn new skills. It could also be used to help adults learn faster. “We might develop a new technology, for example, to increase the amount of GABA in adults’ brain,” said one of the scientists.
66. What is the article mainly used to introduce
A. A science lesson. B. A science research.

Scientists say they have found plastic particles snow in the Arctic (北极地区). The snow isn’t only made of water
German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimeters (毫米) in length. They’re found not only in our air, but in our water. They end up in our wastewater when we use washing machines to wash clothes with plastic fibers (塑料纤维). The scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter of Arctic snow.
How do microplastics travel so far According to scientists, they fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.
Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in our air. There are even more of these plastics in the snow around cities.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the World Health Organization. We all know that our bodies can’t take in big pieces of microplastic. But if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time. This can be bad for our health.
70. What do we know about microplastics
A. They’re a new kind of plastic.
B. They’re light and can travel far.
C. Scientists only find them in snow.
D. They’re impossible to see.
71. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A. New findings about microplastics.
B. Whether microplastics are dangerous or not.
C. How microplastics end up inside our bodies.
D. How to get rid of microplastics.
72. What does the writer think about microplastics
A. The new finding about microplastics isn’t good.
B. People don’t need to worry about microplastics.
C. There are many ways to get rid of microplastics.
D They’ll be a bigger problem in the future.

One day, a man heard some people saying something about him. While hiding behind a tree, he listened carefully. Then he became sad because they were saying he was too proud. From that day on, he thought everyone in the town was speaking ill of him.
Because of this, he was always nervous. His wife took him to a master. After listening to the story, the master said, “Stay in my house tonight.”
The man agreed. When he was in bed at night, the sound of croaking (呱呱叫) of frogs fell in his ears. He couldn’t sleep at all. The next morning, he went to the master and said, “There are hundreds of frogs in your pool. Will you allow me to take them to a far river ” The master nodded. Then the man went to the pool with a net. But he found there weren’t many frogs in the pool. “Where are the hundreds of frogs ” the man asked.
“Even at night, there were only some frogs. It was the noise that made you think their number was large. When you heard some people speaking ill of you, you thought everyone did so.
