5、But we now understand that the exact opposite is true. Children can easily learn extra languages because of the higherabilityof theirbraintoformnewneural( 神 经 的)connections and new brain cells throughout life.While some 第 3页（共 12页） studies suggest that learning two languages can lead to delays， thes
6、e delays are shortlived.In addition，the brain of the children who learn two languages can benefit unexpectedly early.By using a fun game with a disappearing puppet ， researchers found that babies as young as 7 months old who are raised in bilingual homes got cognitive(认知的)benefits! A study used a me
7、mory game and found that bilingual 5yearolds answered questions faster and were more exact than their partners only learning one language.

10、maths problems of the test. In a word，learning more than one language contributes to the brain development in babies and the excellent school 第 4页（共 12页） performance of students of all ages.Therefore，it is clear that its never too early to learn a second language for children. 1What did the experts

14、e biggest source of plastic in the sea.

15、llect these microfibers.So every time the water gets out of a washing machine，microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011，Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash.Browne collected samples from se
16、awater and freshwater sites around the world，and used a special way to examine each sample.He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons.Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other
17、pollutants. Based on this evidence ， it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental“solution.”Even though the science has been around for a while，Browne explains that hes had a difficult time getting companies to listen.Whe

29、 performance in studies.”可知， 专家认为双语家庭对孩子们的成长不利。 2.A细节理解题。根据第二段的“In addition，the brain of the children who learn two languages can benefit unexpectedly early.”以及后文的例子可知，学习两种语言的孩子的大脑发育出奇 地早。 3.A推理判断题。根据第四段的“Therefore，it is clear that its never too early to learn a second language for children.” 可知，作者认
30、为让孩子越早接触第二语言越好。 第 10页（共 12页） 4.C推理判断题。根据第一段“During the last five years， alargenumberofclothingcompanies ， businessesand environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution”可知，在过去的五年里， 许多服装公司、 企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料转变成织物来处理塑 料污染。由此判断出在过去的五年里许多塑料瓶已被重新利用。 5.B推理判
31、断题。根据第二段“He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine，a large number of plastic fibers fall off.Most washing machines cant collect these microfibers.So every time the water gets out of a washing machine，microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea.”可以判

33、esign 时，Browne 并没有得到令人满意的答案。 由此判断出布朗的 Benign by Design 正面临一些困难。 7.C标题归纳题。通读全文可知，在过去的五年里，大量的服 装公司、企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料变成织物来处理塑料污染。 但是这种方法有一个问题。现在的研究表明，微纤维可能是海洋中塑 料的最大来源。来自加州圣巴巴拉的马克布朗博士的研究也证实了 这一点。所以短文主要是围绕着“回收塑料服装：是解决方案还是污 第 11页（共 12页） 染”而展开的。故 C 项正确。 五、阅读填句 1E分析文章结构可知设空处为本段的主题句。根据下文的 “pay attention to wha

35、ou are writing”可知，本段介绍 的是记课堂笔记，B 项(用自己的语言写下来)符合语境。故选 B 项。 3F根据下文的“However，you will have more work.”(但 是，你将会有更多的功课)可知 F 项(你确实可以补上功课)与之 构成转折关系，符合语境，且 F 项中的 the work 与后一句中的 more work 呼应，故选 F 项。 4G根据上一句“Have a respectful attitude to teachers and other students.”可知，要尊重老师和同学，所以当其他同学 犯了错误时尽量别笑。故选 G 项。 5D根据主题句“Always ask questions”(要经常问问题) 与设空处后一句“If you dont understand, ask someone.”(如果 不理解可以问别人)可知 D 项(需要帮助没有什么可羞愧的)符合语 境。故选 D 项。 第 12页（共 12页）
