2019中考英语 课本回扣 八上 Unit 5-6习题 人教新目标版

2019中考（人新）英语课本回扣习及答案：八上U5--6
一、阅读理解。

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 grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater when 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 grey matter density (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 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 (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going bey ond 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 comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.

2．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.

3． We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
4．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

四、任务型阅读。

A TV program has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters(汉字).
The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic help.
CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants（参与者）on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70 % of adults in the audience（观众）were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.

五、书面表达。

(2017，本溪模拟)
在初中生活即将结束之际，同学们将迎来两个月的暑假。

假设你是李华，你的美国笔友David要来中国两周，同你一起度假，请你以“Our Summer Vacation Plan”为题，给他发一封电子邮件。

Dear David,
How's it going？The summer vacation is coming. I'm very happy that I will see you soon.
We'll visit many places of interests in China with my parents. First we'll go to see the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Bird Nest in Beijing. Then we'll go to some cities in the south such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou because there are
beautiful places in those cities. After that we'll go to enjoy the sea for about three days in Hainan. I know you like swimming a lot and we can do that while we are there. Finally you will stay in our home for two days before you go back to America. And of course wherever we go, we are sure to enjoy the culture and delicious food in the local places.
I'm sure we will have a great time together!
Yours，
Li Hua。
