A
(2020·安徽五校质检)
Gabriella’s family immigrated to the US from Peru when she was two years old. As a compound bilingual(熟谙两种语言的人), Gabriella develops two linguistic codes at the same time, with a set of concepts, learning both English and Spanish. Her teenage brother, on the other hand, might be a coordinate bilingual, working with two sets of concepts, learning English in school, Spanish at home. Finally, Gabriella’s parents are likely to be subordinate bilinguals who learned a second language by translating it into their mother tongue.
Regardless of accent and pronunciation, all types of bilingual people can become fully proficient in a language. It seems that the difference may not be apparent. But recently brain imaging technology has given a glimpse into how specific aspects of language learning affect the bilingual brain. It’s well known that the brain’s left hemisphere(半球) is in charge of logical processes, while the right hemisphere is more active in emotional and social ones. Language involves both types of functions. Critical period hypothesis says children learn languages more easily because their developing brains let them use both hemispheres in language learning, while in most adults, language relies on one hemisphere, usually the left.
Before the 1960s, bilingualism was considered a handicap that slowed the children’s development by forcing them to spend too much energy distinguishing between languages. But a recent study did show that bilingualism may make you smarter. It does make your brain more complex, healthier, and more actively engaged, and even if you didn’t have the good fortune of learning a second language like a child,
39
it’s never too late to do yourself a favor and make the linguistic leap from “Hello” to “Hola” “Bonjour” or “nihao” because when it comes to our brains, a little exercise can go a long way.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,双语学习能使大脑更加聪明、更加健康、更活跃;学习外语永远不迟。
1.Why is Gabriella’s family used as the example in Paragraph 1?
A.To show that the family are bilinguals.
B.To explain the advantages of bilinguals.
C.To illustrate the three types of bilinguals.
D.To prove all ages can learn foreign languages.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知,Gabriella家中有三种不同的双语学习类型的人,据此可知,第一段以Gabriella的家庭为例是为了说明三种不同双语学习类型的人,故C项正确。
2.Why do the children learn languages more easily than adults?
A.Because they learn languages with a set of concepts.
B.Because they use both hemispheres to learn languages.
C.Because their mother tongue doesn’t influence them much.
D.Because they can easily translate one language into another.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段尾句中的“children learn languages more easily because their developing brains let them use both hemispheres in language learning, while in most adults, language relies on one hemisphere, usually the left”可知,儿童学习语言更容易是因为他们发育中的大脑让他们在语言学习中使用两个大脑半球,而在大多数成年人中,学习语言依赖于一个大脑半球,通常是左半球,故B项正确。
3.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “handicap” in Paragraph 3?
A.Disease. B.Disability.
C.Disadvantage. D.Illness.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Before the 1960s, bilingualism was considered a handicap that slowed the children’s development by forcing them to spend too much energy distinguishing between languages.”
39
尤其是该句中的“slowed”和“forcing them to spend too much energy distinguishing between languages”并结合语境可推知,画线词与C项“不利因素,障碍”意思相近,故C项正确。
4.What can we infer from the text?
A.The left brain is more important for language learning.
B.Learning languages can promote the brain development.
C.The proficiency of language becomes weak gradually with age.
D.Immigrants have advantages in learning languages over natives.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第二、三句中的“But a recent study did show that bilingualism may make you smarter. It does make your brain more complex, healthier, and more actively engaged”可知,最近的一项研究确实表明,双语可能会让你更聪明。它确实会让你的大脑更复杂、更健康、更活跃;据此可推知,学习语言会促进大脑的发展,故B项正确。

(2020·郑州高三第二次质量预测)Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinesespeaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
39
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated(指定) Mandarin as an “important need” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲了普通话在美国学生中日益流行。
5.Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?
A.Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B.Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.
C.Mandarin might help him learn more about China.
D.Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.”可知,Thomas Cheatham认为学习普通话对他的未来职业有帮助,所以才决定学习普通话。
6.The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.a slight advantage B.the outside limit
C.a sharp tone of voice D.an exciting quality
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据语境尤其是第三段最后一句中的“Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power”和第四段第一句中的“a language spoken by a billion people”可知,随着中国的发展,学习普通话大有裨益,由此可推知,学习普通话让美国学生在全球经济中有一定的优势,这与文章第五段的内容呼应。故画线词意为“优势”,与A项含义相近。
7.Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
39
A.Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B.Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C.The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
D.Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their economic security.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据语境尤其是对第六段的整体理解可推知,在Marty Abbott看来,美国政府的政策有助于普通话在美国的推广。
8.What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A.The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B.The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
C.The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D.The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.
A 解析:主旨大意题。根据对全文的整体理解可推知,本文主要讲述的是普通话在美国学生中日益流行的现象,这与最后一段的进一步论述呼应。故选A。

(2020·滁州高三模拟)Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them.
●Download a Language Translation App
Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.
●Speak with Your Hands and Head
Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood,” he said.
●Learn a Few Key Words
Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”, “thank you” and “I’m sorry. I don’t speak your language. Do you speak English?” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don’t know more, is a form of respect and
39
will go a long way to be liked by locals.
●Work with a Local Travel Agent
If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination’s languages can be incredibly useful.
●Hire a Local Tour Guide
A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章针对不会说外语的旅行者到国外旅游提出了几条建议,包括下载翻译软件、使用肢体语言、出发前学习关键词、利用当地旅行社的帮助以及雇用当地导游。
1.In what situation should a language translation app be applied while traveling abroad?
A.When you have trouble pronouncing the words.
B.When you want to acknowledge your ignorance.
C.When you want to practice the local language.
D.When you feel uncomfortable in the country.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“a language translation app”定位至第二段,根据该段第二句“Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.”可知,在该语言使用你不熟悉的字符集或者你发音有困难时,你应当下载翻译软件,故A项正确。
2.What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text?
A.Downloading a language translation app.
B.Learning a few key words.
C.Using body language.
D.Working with a guide.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Pointing with your hands and nodding or
39
shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in.”可知,使用双手、点头或摇头,是你和当地人交流的简单的方式;据此可推知,使用肢体语言是与当地人交流最简单的方式,故C项正确。
3.How can you better understand the local language?
A.By speaking with your hands and head.
B.By learning a few key words.
C.By downloading a language translation app.
D.By hiring a local tour guide.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with.”可知,导游可以帮助你更好地掌握当地的语言,而且导游是你与其练习单词和短语的最佳人选,故D项正确。

(2020·石家庄高三质检)
Most dog owners are convinced that their fourlegged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”, “stay” or “treat”. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that “man’s best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took turns inside a special scanner. The owners then tested their dog’s language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless
39
words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.
The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs’ brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.
Something even more interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural (神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food,” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.
However, though a pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because that’s what we humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dog’s view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,狗的确能理解主人说的话。
4.What’s the purpose of the new study?
A.To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.
B.To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.
C.To prove dogs follow owners’ order by listening.
D.To test out how dogs get information from owners.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that ‘man’s best friend’ does indeed know what the owner is saying.”可知,亚特兰大的埃默里大学的科学家进行的一项新研究似乎表明, “人类最好的朋友”确实知道主人在说什么,并结合全文可知,
39
该研究的目的是测试狗是如何理解主人的话的,故D项正确。
5.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.Inform the result of the research.
B.State the process of the research.
C.Stress the importance of the research.
D.Introduce the subjects of the research.
B 解析:写作意图题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball.”并结合该段内容可知,该段主要介绍了进行研究的过程,包括让不同品种的狗识别不同材料的两个玩具等,据此可知,该段旨在介绍研究过程,故B项正确。
6.How do human brains and dog brains react to words?
A.Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.
B.Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.
C.Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.
D.Dog brains show no response to familiar words.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“Something even more interesting...This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words.”可知,对于不熟悉的单词,狗的大脑呈现出高水平的神经活动,而人类的大脑相反,故B项正确。
7.What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?
A.Give dogs oral commands.
B.Teach dogs new tricks.
C.Involve sight and smell.
D.Encourage faster learning.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“However, though a pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training.”可知,尽管狗可能理解人类的语言,但科学家们建议使用视觉信号和嗅觉来训练它们,故C项正确。

(2020·石家庄高三一模)Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For
39
some, libraries are a shelter from the stresses of daytoday life. 1.________ If you’re considering joining your local library, now is the time to do so. And if you need any more encouragement, here are several reasons why you should.
Most libraries in the UK allow members of the general public to come and go as they like. 2.________ You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.
3.________ Imagine just how many books you have at your fingertips with a library card. There are lots of modern ones, as well as original ones, and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time. It’s a priceless experience, especially for kids, and also a great way to level the educational playing field.
Libraries develop with times. They have changed greatly since decades ago. 4.________ Some libraries have apps so you can see when your books are due back and even reserve books in some cases. There are also libraries which let you access books in digital formats on your mobile device—pretty cool.
Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be and feel like a community. They have noticeboards to offer services like exercise classes or learning centres. 5.________
A.Libraries help people learn.
B.Libraries help educate the kids.
C.They create a great sense of community.
D.You can go in, settle down and read a book without being charged a penny.
E.Most libraries now have computers and allow people to borrow CDs and DVDs.

【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了英国正在流行的两大趋势,即素食主义和有机农业。
1.to eat 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处为固定搭配decide not to do sth.“决定不做某事”,故用不定式作宾语。
2.are becoming 解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。与上文“Vegetarianism(素食主义) is becoming one rising trend in the UK”呼应可知,此处用现在进行时,表示现在的一种趋势,且与句子主语的复数形式保持一致,故用are becoming。
3.Why 解析:考查疑问副词。与语境中的问号呼应,并结合下文的内容可推知,此处表示对原因的疑问,故用特殊疑问词Why。
4.on 解析:考查介词。effect on sb./sth.意为“对某人/某(事)物有影响”,为固定搭配,故用介词on。
5.Worries 解析:考查名词的单复数。worry为可数名词时,意为“令人担忧的事”,且根据语境及该句中的have可知,此处用名词的复数形式作主语。
6.healthier 解析:考查形容词的比较级。句意:为了变得更健康,其他一些人选择改变他们的饮食习惯。此处包含一个比较的概念,故用形容词比较级形式作become的表语。
7.the 解析:考查冠词。risk被介词短语of certain cancers修饰,表示特指,故用定冠词the修饰。
8.another 解析:考查限定词。与上文“Vegetarianism(素食主义) is becoming one rising trend in the UK”呼应可知,此处表示另外一种兴起的趋势,故用限定词another修饰名词trend,表示“再一,另一”。
9.organically 解析:考查副词。修饰动词用副词,故用副词organically修饰动词produced。
10.is produced 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,produce与句子主语Organic meat是被动关系,且表示客观叙述,故用其一般现在时的被动语态形式。
