22、If you plan to learn a foreign language, you might think it’s going to be really challenging. You’ve probably heard a lot of talks about how it’s easier to learn languages as a young child, and that learning as an adult can be difficult. You might even know friends or family members who have tried to learn a foreign tongue and failed. That’s because they are surrounded by the failure. We’re here to cheer you up with some good news and inspire you to get started.

The amazing adult brain: whether you can learn languages at any age? Scientists are always learning about the human brain. Decades ago, experts believed that the brain developed during childhood and then retained that way for life. However, modern studies have shown us that the brain has the ability to continually form new neural (神经的) connections throughout adulthood. A 2010 Swedish study tested two groups of people, one in the range of age 21 through 30 and another between 65 and 80. Remarkably, they found no significant differences in Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性). In other words, this suggests that it’s possible for you to learn new things at any age.

Besides being possible to learn languages, research also suggests that it improves the adult brain in general. In a 2012 Chinese study, experts looked at a group of adults who were learning Mandarin (普通话) over a nine-month period. They found that these adults showed improved integrity in their white matter, the part of the brain that allows neural cells to communicate. The better your neural cells communicate, the easier it will be for you to learn new things.

Why may adults have an easier time learning? Children might be blessed with a naturally high degree of neuroplasticity, but that doesn’t mean learning is necessarily easier for them. In fact, adult brains have a number of great qualities that might actually make learning easier, especially if you take advantage of free language learning apps like Mondly.

【1】Why do some adults fail in the language learning?

A．Because they are too old to learn a new language.

B．Because languages are too difficult for adults to learn

C．Because they are influenced by the adults who failed.

D．Because they have no plans for new language learning.

【2】What does the underlined word “retained” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．improved

B．remained

C．changed

D．strengthened

【3】What is the author trying to do in the second paragraph?

A．To tell the difference between children and adults in language learning.

B．To state the difference between children and adults in brain development.

C．To show that there is no difference between children and adults in learning.

D．To prove the former theory about brain development by some experts wrong.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Brain development and new language learning.

B．Analysis about children learning a new language.

C．Information about adults learning a new language.

D．Some good news for adults to learn a new language

23、   Paying$645 for a pair of pants(长裤）created by an unknown fashion brand might seem ludicrous, but what if the pants would last forever?Will that reason make you look smart?That's the promise of adventure clothing brand Vollebak, which announces its new pants will last a century.

Vollebak cofounder Steve Tidball says that the company stands behind the 100-year guarantee because the new pants are made of a tough material and you can walk through fire in them. Technically, the 100 Year Pants are made of a three-layer(层）material. The outer layer resists water and is designed to avoid abrasions(磨损），the middle layer is fireproof and expands as an airbag at high temperatures, acting as a barrier between your legs and the flames, while the third layer doesn't burn, offering extra protection.

＂Most fire-resistant clothing is made from heavy and uncomfortable chemical materials, but this is the  world's first special material that can be comfortably worn every day, "Vollebak cofounder Nick Tidball said. "It was originally designed to help soldiers handle extreme situations, but without having to dress like firefighters. "

Still, 100 years sounds like a long time for a pair of pants, especially if you wear them frequently. So how do you know they'll last that long? Vollebak put them through the Martindale abrasion resistance test, where a mechanical thumb(机械拇指）rubs against the pants until the fibers start to break. A regular clothing material can survive 25, 000 revolutions, but the special material these pants are made of passed 100, 000 cycles of wear. Even then, it was checked to see if any of the fibers had broken. Vollebak says they hadn't.

The 100 Year Pants are made suitable for all kinds of activities, from mountain climbing to yoga, and are stylish enough. So if you're looking to buy the last pair of pants you'll ever need, these seem like a pretty good choice. $645 is a lot, but if you think about it, it's just$6. 45 per year.

【1】What does the underlined word"ludicrous"in paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A.Necessary.

B.Confidential.

C.Challenging.

D.Ridiculous.

【2】What makes Vollebak's pants different from most fire-resistant clothing?

A.That they are designed for firefighters.

B.That they are comfortable to wear daily.

C.That they are extremely tough and thick.

D.That they are effective in resisting water.

【3】How does the text prove Vollebak's pants are abrasion-resistant?

A.By referring to the results of a certain test.

B.By mentioning wearers positive comments.

C.By reporting the whole process of production.

D.By asking technicians to wear them frequently.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A.To recommend the special pants to consumers.

B.To research the unique designs of the new pants.

C.To speak highly of clothing designers' creativity.

D.To comment on a famous company's latest products.

24、As the daughter of immigrants, Chanthaphone’s primary language at home was Lao. At 5, she learned to speak English. But she didn’t know how to read and write - let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling or thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future.

Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to fulfill their potential in life.

At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone recounts her story to her new classes She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that’s what makes each of them special.

Her students, though, are usually unconvinced. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks.

In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hand and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone.

However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don’t know because teamwork and collaboration with unfamiliar people is important.

“I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.”

【1】What do you know about Mrs. Lewis?

A．She is ambitious

B．She is inspiring.

C．She is knowledgeable.

D．She is demanding.

【2】Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students?

A．To make a good beginning of her class.

B．To make herself well known to her students.

C．To encourage her students to be confident.

D．To push the students to voice their thoughts.

【3】What does Chanthaphone focus on in the classroom?

A．Students’ strong curiosity.

B．Students’ mental health.

C．Students’ unique talent.

D．Students’ communicating ability.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．I was once like you

B．You are the only one
