63. 【答案】How ;do
【分析】How对by doing的形式,问方式,再看陈述句的时态是一般现在时,提出实意动词give的助动词do。
64. 【答案】too; to
【分析】so...that...从句用了否定词,所以这里可以用too...to...来替换。
65. 【答案】were;held
【分析】先确定时态是过去式,hold的被动语态是be held,而改写的句子主语是复数所以用are的过去式were。
66. 【答案】does;he
【分析】前面有否定词rarely,可知后面用肯定形式,再看时态一般现在时,用实意动词的助动词do/does,人称是第三人称单数所以用does的形式,再判断主语是男是女,发现用了his temper可推测我们的英语老师是男的,所以选择he。
67.【答案】if/whether; would
【分析】改为宾语从句要用if/whether来提问,再判断时态为一般过去式,所以用will的过去式would。
68. 【答案】We can depend on ourselves to work out the problem.
【分析】整句句子先找主语,看到ourselves知道主语用we,后面接情态动词can,然后找动词depend on 依赖...,最后找到不定式做宾语,要解决这个问题。
Part 3 Reading and writing(第三部分 读写)
VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解)(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最怡当的答案)共6分
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 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 learned a second language before the age of five,as well as a number of later learners.
Scans (扫描检查)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 math skill."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 beyond 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 2 and 34,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.

A.the earlier people start to learn a second language, the smarter the people are

71.根据句中"early bilinguals" who had learned a second language before the age of five,as well as a number of later learners.可知,bilingual是学习两种语言的意思。
72."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 beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."通过分析句子可知,学习第二语言可以更好地发展自己。

【答案】81.best 82.if 83.invented 84.inside 85.memories 86.available 87.still
【分析】
根据句子分析可知,KFC is known for its fried chicken,所缺空格用来修饰程度,最出名的,所以填best
‘Scoffee cup ’is a delicious edible (可以吃的)coffee cup由此可知,这种杯子是可以吃的,所以如果你喜欢的话,可以吃掉它,填if
根据句子分析,by food scientists at The Robin Collective表达被动,所以空格内是动词过去分词,又因为这种杯子是新兴食物,所以判定是发明
由后面的句子分析可以知道,饼干外面还包裹着糖纸,所以判定是内部用饼干制成,所以填inside
根据句意,这些口味能提醒我们关于度假等的美好记忆,记忆可数,所以填复数
根据句意可知,现在这种杯子只在某些英国的商店买得到,填available
根据句意,这种杯子依然还在发展阶段,所以只能在某些地区买得到,填依然still
