One summer during high school, my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree. It’s terrible to imagine hours spent dusting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn’t know. “You’ll be surprised,” my mom promised. “Family history can be very interesting.”
In truth, Grandpa didn’t want to limit(限定) my work to just research, hoping to also keep our family memories. He’d discovered a computer program that helped digitally scan(扫描) old pictures and letters to maintain their contents before they crumble from age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. He could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.
Soon after, I became interested my relatives’ lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also
relate to my relatives. I became so eager for more information that Grandpa needed additional props(道具) to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.
Looking through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window to the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me letters he had sent to Grandma from the front line of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother’s recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been only names to me now had faces to match.
Later, Grandpa admitted, “I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with.” I can’t thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me who I am.
4. Which can best describe the author’s first impression of the research
A. Delightful. B. Boring.
C. Surprising. D. Interesting.
5. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Come to life. B. Tear apart.
C. Fall to pieces. D. Break through.
6. Why did Grandpa give the author a chest
A. To show him old letters. B. To keep him away from boredom.
C. To give him something to sort out. D. To satisfy his eagerness to know more.
7. What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage
A. He possibly served as a soldier in the past.
B. He knew nothing about the computer.
C. He buried the letters under gunpowder
D. He loved sharing what he had with others
C
What do you think of being roommates with someone from a totally different generation Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (跨代的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Since 1971, there has been a major rise in intergenerational living arrangements in the United States, which refers to people from different generations living together with at least one generation gap. In fact, data show that this number has actually become four times larger since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were 59.7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are many factors that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age (寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college educational fees, the ever rising rentals and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
A 25-year-old student Nadia Abdullah and her 64-year-old roommate Judith were content with their present life. Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from her working place. Nadia was matched with Judith through a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the knowledge you just can’t Google — showing me how to garden, how to cook fish and add French Romanticism to life.”
8. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Different generations are living under the same roof.
C. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
10. What is the Kaplan’s attitude towards this housing trend
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.
11. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
D
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 gray matter. This is the area of the brain
which processes information. Like exercise shapes and strengthens muscles, learning a language can have a similar effect on your brain.
The study also found the effect is greater, if 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 gray matter density(灰质密度)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(结构)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,” 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 thirty-four. Reading, writing, and cognition(认知)were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you can enter another world,” explained the scientists.
12. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to _________.
A. encourage a regular fitness practice and an active lifestyle
B. show the importance of using the language when learning
C. suggest that learning a second language can improve physical fitness
D. highlight the similarities between language learning and physical exercise
13. According to the passage, what did the study led by Dr Andrea Mechelli show
A. Learning a second language increases gray matter density.
B. Later language learning has a bigger influence on brain structure.
C. Language learning leads to lower gray matter density in the brain.
D. Learning a second language has no effect on the structure of the brain.
14. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. learning a second language is only helpful during childhood
B. native Italian speakers learning English were similarly studied
C. Learning a second language brings greater advantages if started young
D. bilingual will be more successful than a person who speaks only one language
15. The best title of this passage is _________.
A. Language Learning Increases IQ
B. Bilingual Helps Learning Mathematics
C. Learning a Second Language Improves Brain Power
D. Language Learning Unlocks the Door to A New World
