Do you find that you learn things faster than your parents You could be right!
Scientists in the USA have found that school-aged children learn new things and skills faster than grown-ups.
This has something to do with a chemical(化学物质) called GABA in our brains(大脑). It makes brain noise less so
that we can learn things more easily. It also makes new information stay longer in our heads.
The scientists studied the brains of children(8-11 years old) and adults (18-35 years old) before, during and
after doing a learning task. The finding shows that when children learn new things, the amount(数量) of GABA
increases(增加) quickly. But there’s little change in adults’ brains. This tells us why children are better learners than
adults.
The scientists said the finding is useful. It tells teachers and parents to let children lean anything in their
childhood, from riding a bike to playing an instrument(乐器). It could also help adults learn faster by increasing the
amount of GABA in their brains.
( ) 49. Why do children learn faster than adults
A. Because children’s brains have more GABA than adults’.
B. Because teachers and parents help children learn faster.
C. Because GABA in children’s brains increases while learning.
D. Because there’s no change in adults’ brains when they learn.
( ) 50. Which of the following about GABA is right
A. It helps children learn things in their childhood.
B. It makes information stay Shorter in adults’ brains.
C. It makes brain noise to make learning more easily.
D. It is useless to help adults learn new things and skills.
( ) 51. What is the article mainly about
A. Why children learn faster than adults. B. What scientists are studying.
C. How scientists help children learn. D. What the chemical GABA is.
( ) 52. What can we learn from the passage
A. Practice makes perfect B. Start learning as early as you can.
C. You are never too old to learn. D. Great hopes make a great man.
C
Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk
(垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these
are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller
pieces of junk that we can’t see.
Objects (物体), like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds. They
are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become a danger to astronauts. If the tiniest
piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the spaceship.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example,
when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount
of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25
years at most.-Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere (大气层) after that time. In the
upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a
metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to
burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to-Earth to be
safely destroyed.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use
their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
( ) 53. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Telescopes. B. Satellites. C. Pieces of space junk. D. BBC News reports.
( ) 54. Why is space junk considered a problem
A. It burns up after it reenters the atmosphere.
B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.
C. It could force (迫使) new space tools to travel at slower speeds
D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.
( ) 55. Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that __________.
A. the tools can be reused later B. the tools don’t become space junk
C. the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean D. the effects of space flight can be studied
( ) 56. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk
A. Catch it with nets. B. Use robots to collect it.
C. Burn it in the earth’s atmosphere. D. Send it further away from the earth.

满分 10分）
Much of the music we listen to today is a mixture of styles from different 74 (country) and time
periods. Traditional, or folk music has been collected for years. Younger generations are often praised by elders for
collecting traditional music when they learn these songs from them in 75 (they) spare time.
Researchers see music 76 an important part of history. They are expecting that traditional and older
kinds of music won’t gradually disappear. Also the younger generations may not find such music much smoother,
so once older generations die, the music may die out with them.
Some researchers create “field recordings” 77 (catch) live shows. Researchers also transcribe old
music by 78 (listen) to old recordings. They go out of their way 79 (write) out the music so that
it can be studied and played by modern musicians.
80 (collect) music is another form of music preservation. Some collectors prefer to spend much time
and money looking for some things that have not been produced or sold for many years. They put their efforts into
recording music of different 81 (culture) and places.
Now, modern technology makes it much 82 (easy) to collect music because people get used to using
smart phones to record music. And the Internet lets us share these recordings and find people 83 similar
interests.
七、阅读表达（共 3小题，满分 7分）阅读短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
It is believed that the best time to learn a foreign language is at a young age. However, the story of 50-year-old
Xie Hongying may change the idea.
Born in Jianyang, Xie Hongying moved to Chengdu twelve years ago and then became a fruit seller. In 2018,
she started to sell fruit near the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
One day in 2019, Xie met a foreign customer(顾客). She couldn’t speak English and the man couldn’t speak
Chinese, so they had to use body language to communicate(交流). Later, Xie found there were more and more
foreign tourists. She thought, “If I can talk with them in English, my fruit will sell out quickly.” Then she started
her English learning.
Xie began by learning some simple words and sentences for selling fruit. She often looked up new words in
the dictionary(字典) and remembered them. Soon, she could have a short talk with foreigners. “Talking with
foreigners is one of my ways to practise English. I’m not afraid of making mistakes. Foreign tourists can often help
me correct them” Xie said.
Now Xie is famous for speaking English well. To show her friendliness, Xie often gives her customers some
extra(额外的) fruit for free. Many foreign tourists like to buy her fruit. Her story tells us one is never too old to
learn.
回答下面 3个问题，每题答案不超过 6个词。
84. How old was Xie Hongying when she moved to Chengdu
_____________________________________________________________________________
85. How did Xie communicate with her first foreign customer in 2019
