[2020·郑州第二次质量预测]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.”
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.
1.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.
2.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
3.Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
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.
4.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.

[2020·湖北省四地七校 2 月联考]It is estimated that more than half the world's population is
bilingual ( 双 语 的 ), and in an increasingly globalizing world, there are obvious benefits of
speaking more than one language. However, for many years, parents were advised not to teach
their children to speak more than one language from birth. Learning two or more languages
simultaneously(同时) was believed to cause confusion and slow down academic development.
While it is certainly true that children who are learning to speak more than one language as their
mother tongue will often mix the languages up or speak a little later, these are temporary problems,
and there is no reason to avoid teaching a child more than one language.
In fact, there are plenty of reasons to encourage your child to become bilingual from birth. As
well as the obvious benefits of being able to communicate with more people, and the possibility of
earning more money, children who speak more than one language have been shown to score more
highly in achievement tests at school. This is true for mathematics as well as tests of verbal(言语
的) skills.
And in later life it has been found that bilinguals, on average, will tend to develop
Alzheimer's disease five years later than monolingual speakers. Speaking three or more languages
offers even more protection. It seems that the increased number of connections within the brain
allows bilinguals to cope better with brain damage.
But is it too late if you haven't already learned a second language in childhood? It used to be
thought that the adult brain was very fixed, but recent research has shown that we continue to
develop new connections in the brain throughout our lives, meaning that it's perfectly possible to
learn another language to a high standard. Older learners are less likely to have nativelike
pronunciation, but they are better at learning vocabulary as they are able to use far more skills and
strategies than children. And learning a language is like using a muscle — the more you use it, the
stronger it gets, meaning that you will find your third language easier than your second, and so on.
5.Why shouldn't parents be discouraged from teaching their children to be a bilingual?
A.Children's confusion over two languages will not last long.
B.Children will not mistake one language for the other.
C.Parents should begin to teach a second language early.
D.Parents' guidance will help children tell two languages apart.
6.Which of the following is NOT a possible benefit of being a bilingual?
A.A bilingual is less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
B.A bilingual child may do well in mathematics at school.
C.A bilingual will probably make more money.
D.A bilingual child owns relatively good language ability.
7.Compared with children, adult language learners
________________________________________________________________________.
A.are slower at learning a second language
B.are more skilled at building vocabulary
C.are more likely to acquire a native accent
D.are slower at making logic connections
8.What can be learned from the passage?
A.A bilingual child will speak both the languages badly later in his life.
B.Learning a second language certainly contributes to your body fitness.
C.Connections within adults' brain will permanently stop developing.
D.With each language learned, the learning process will become easier.

答案
话题三 语言学习(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
体裁:说明文 题材:语言学习 主题:普通话在美国学生中的流行
【文章大意】
该文是一篇说明文,主要讲了普通话在美国学生中日益流行。
【难句分析】
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.
分析:本句是一个主从复合句。While 引导让步状语从句;who 引导非限制性定语
从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词 the high school junior;句中“it will be important for his
career”是省略了 that 的宾语从句,作及物动词 think 的宾语。
译文:尽管对于这个计划学习计算机工程的高中三年级学生来讲,这是一门很难掌握的
语言,但是他认为这对他的职业来讲将会是重要的。
1.答案与解析:B 考查细节理解。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。
2.答案与解析:A 考查词义猜测。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。
3.答案与解析:C 考查推理判断。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。
4.答案与解析:A 考查主旨大意。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之间日益流行的现象,这与最后一段的进一步论述呼应。故选 A。
B
体裁:议论文 题材:社会文化 主题:双语学习
【文章大意】
文章论述了学习双语的好处,如延缓阿尔茨海默病的发生,使学习过程变得越来越容易
等。
5.答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 these are temporary problems 可知,
孩子因学两种语言而感到困惑的情况不会持续太久,因此家长不应该劝阻他们的孩子学习两
种语言,故选 A 项。
6.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And in later life it has been found that
bilinguals, on average, will tend to develop Alzheimer's disease five years later than monolingual
speakers.”可知,双语者比只说一种语言的人可能要晚五年得阿尔茨海默病,但这并不能说
明双语者不太可能得阿尔茨海默病,故选 A 项。
7.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Older learners are less likely to have
nativelike pronunciation, but they are better at learning vocabulary as they are able to use far
more skills and strategies than children.”可知,年龄较大的学习者不太可能学会像母语使用者
一样的发音,但他们会在学习词汇方面做得更好,因为他们在这方面比儿童更擅长使用技能
和策略,故选 B 项。
8.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And learning a language is like using
a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets, meaning that you will find your third language
easier than your second, and so on.”可知,学习一门语言就像使用肌肉——你用得越多,它就
变得越强壮,这意味着你会发现学习第三语言会比学习第二语言更容易,即随着更多种语言
的学习,学习过程将变得越来越容易,故选 D 项。
Ⅱ.完形填空
体裁:记叙文 题材:个人经历 主题:教师的影响
【文章大意】
作者借母亲的经历说明:尽管教师很少知道他们是否会对学生产生深远的影响,但事实

可见,当初她应该是一位在写作上有天赋的(gifted)学生。amazed“惊奇的”;excited“激动的”;
bored“厌倦的,烦闷的”。
5.答案与解析:B 本空填入的词应与 4 空一样用于描写 Tamara 的写作天赋,故用 skilled
at“精于……的”。respectful of“尊重……”;uninterested in“对……不感兴趣”;surprised
at“对……感到惊讶”。
6.答案与解析:A 根据第三段信息可知,妈妈通过广播听到(heard)了对一个名叫

录,录音”;seize“抓住,攻占,没收”;realize“意识到,实现”。
11.答案与解析:C 此处指的是“我的写作生涯都归功于(owe)我的英语老师(感谢您,
Mrs. Jacobsen!)”。return“回来,放回,恢复”;adapt“适应,改写”;show“表明,展示,指
出,引领”。
12.答案与解析:D 根据语境可知,妈妈对作者的这一发现(discovery)显得很平静。
doubt“疑惑,疑问”;creation“创造,作品”;event“大事,比赛项目,公开活动”。
13.答案与解析:A 此处填入的词应与前一句的 quiet 和本句的 kind 在情感基调上保
持一致,故用 modest。妈妈总是很友善,非常谦虚(modest)。
14.答案与解析:B 妈妈的经历就是一个很好的例子(example)。victory“胜利,成功”;
topic“话题,标题”;stage“阶段,步骤,舞台,戏剧”。
15.答案与解析:C 根据第一段首句“Rarely do teachers know whether they make
permanent impressions on students”可知答案。be aware of“知道,意识到”符合语境。be worthy
