nd World War they came to like and trust each other. Roosevelt and Churchill exchanged more than one thousand seven hundred letters and messages during five and a half years. They met many times,at large national gatherings and in private talks. But the closeness of their friendship might be seen best in a story told by one of Roosevelt’s close advisors,Harry Hopkins. Hopkins remembered how Churchill was visiting Roosevelt at the White House one day. Roosevelt went into Churchill’s room in the morning to say hello. But the president was shocked to see Churchill ing from the washing room with no clothes at all. Roosevelt immediately apologized to the British leader for seeing him naked. But Churchill reportedly said: “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the president of the United States.” And then both men laughed.The United States and Great Britain were only two of several nations that joined together in the war to resist Hitler and his Allies. In January,1942,twenty173。six of these nations signed an agreement promising to fight for peace,religious freedom,human rights,and justice. The three major Allies,however,were the most important for the war effort: the United States,Britain,and the Soviet Union. Yet,Churchill and Roosevelt disagreed about when to attack Hitler in western Europe. And Churchill resisted Roosevelt’s suggestions that Britain give up some of its colonies. But in general,the friendship between Roosevelt and Churchill,and between the United States and Britain led the two nations to cooperate closely.66.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Roosevelt and Churchill had much in mon.B.Roosevelt and Churchill had nothing in mon.C.Roosevelt and Churchill had no difference but cooperation.[來源:] D.Roosevelt and Churchill always joined together to meet mon goals.67.Which of the following about Roosevelt and Churchill is TRUE according to the passage?A.Since World War One they had believed in each other.B.They exchanged just 27 letters and messages per month during the years.C.Harry Hopkins never let out the closeness of their friendship.D.Roosevelt and Churchill hadn’t been presidents before World War One.68.We can know from the passage that________.A.Roosevelt and Churchill did not always agree with each otherB.over two differences between Churchill and Roosevelt were mentionedC.Churchill urged Roosevelt to give up some of its coloniesD.the differences between Roosevelt and Churchill had an effect on their cooperation CIf English means endless new words,difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have bee 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 Mechelli,from University College London,took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were pared 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 is.“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 in the world and makes the brain more flexible (靈活的),” 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 ,writing,and prehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn,the better they will do it. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.69.The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A.science on learning a second languageB.man’s ability of learning a second languageC.language can help brain powerD.language learning and maths study70.We may know from the scientific findings that________.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language,the greater the grey matter density isB.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brainD.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time71.In the last two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us that________.A.learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC.Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD.you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language DWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistake
