Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York, has recently found evidence that children and adults don’t use the same parts of the brain when learning a second language. He used an (32) called an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children. The other consisted of people who learned their second language (33) in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner. This allowed Hirsch (34) see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. He asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then (35) . They couldn’t speak out loud, because any movement would disrupt the scanning.
Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain—Broca’s area, believed to control speech production, and Wernicke’s
area, thought to (36) meaning. He found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke’s area no matter what language they were speaking. But how they used Broca’s area was different.
People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca’s area for both languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a special part of Broca’s area for their second language—near the one activated for their native
(37) . How does Hirsch explain this difference? He believes that, when language is first being (38) in young children, their brains may (39) all languages into the same area. But once that programming is complete, a different part of the brain must (40) a new language. Another possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as
children than we do as adults. Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods such as touch, sound, and (41) . And that’s very different from sitting in a high school class.

第一篇Jet lag, caused by traveling between time zones, is becoming a common problem for frequent travelers: for 49 per cent it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real problem. It is caused by disruption to the internal biological clock, and may lead to digestive problems, tiredness, and sleep disruption.
Generally speaking, our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone, but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south, we won’t notice any difference, because there is usually no time zone change. However, if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned, and problems may arise. A west-to-east journey, on the other hand, makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore, a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New York trip.
42. A traveler who suffers from jet lag has problems in ___________.
(A) knowing the distance of his flight (B) knowing the direction of a jet
(C) adjusting his biological clock (D) getting used to the weather of a new place 43. If one travels across three time zones, he needs about __________ hours to get over his jet lag problem.
(A) 72 (B) 36 (C) 48 (D) 24 44. A person may suffer the most serious case of jet lag when he takes a __________ journey.
(A) west-to-east (B) east-to-west (C) north-to-south (D) south-to-north 45. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.
(A) show the ways to lessen the degree of jet lag (B) explain the differences between time zones (C) teach us how to avoid jet lag problems (D) explain the cause of jet lag problems
第二篇
Originally from tropical South America, the red fire ant gained entry to the United States through the port of Mobile, Alabama in the late 1930s on cargo ships, but the first colony of the red ants was not found until 1942 by a 13-year-old boy in his backyard.
It immediately began to thrive in the new land and colonies spread quickly throughout the southeastern states. By 1975 the red imported fire ant had colonized over 52 million hectares of the United States. Now, it has infested more than 275 million hectares in the country.
Red imported fire ants build mounds in any type of soil. They also make mounds indoors. Each nest used to have but one queen, but now many mounds are often found with multiple queens. With multiple queens at work, its population increases rapidly. It’s common to find a nest with over 25,000 workers.
Red imported fire ants can cause a number of problems. They construct their colonies on precious farmland, invading crops while searching for insects underground. They also like to make their mounds in sunny areas, heavily infesting lawns and pastures. They can quickly strip fruit trees of their fruit. Small birds such as baby quails are fair game to the expanding colony. They appear to be attracted to electromagnetic fields and attack electrical insulation or wire connections. They can cause electrical shorts, fires, and other damage to electrical equipment. Worst of all, their stings can be fatal to livestock and humans.
46. When was the first nest of the red ant found in the United States?
(A) In 1930s. (B) In 1942. (C) In 1975. (D) After 1975.
47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
(A) Each nest of the red ant has one queen. (B) The red ant does not build mounds inside the house.
(C) The red ant can reproduce young ants very quickly. (D) The red ant was originally found in North America.
48. What kinds of problems can the red ant cause?
(A) Health, agricultural, and environmental. (B) Health, social, and environmental.
(C) Social, environmental, and agricultural. (D) Health, social, and agricultural.
49. What is the purpose of the article?
(A) To urge people to protect the red ant. (B) To ask for help to kill the red ant.
(C) To seek help from the government to control the red ant. (D) To provide information about the red ant.
