02 Period II Using language—Presenting ideas Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 [河南郑州等五地新高考联盟2023高一期末联考] When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture （做手势） with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning. This is the conclusion a research team reached after using magnetic pulses （磁脉冲） to disturb these areas in language learners. As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words （such as “lamube” for “camera” and “atesi” for “thought”） over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. 刷阅读理解 2 Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learnt into German in a test. At the same time, they had equipment tied to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses to their primary motor cortex （运动皮层）—the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. According to the results of the experiment, the researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learnt with gestures. The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. In contrast, children—unlike adults—seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020, the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究者通过实验发现当人们学习词汇时，通过手势进行辅助学习可以更好地记忆。 刷阅读理解 3 1.Which method might be better in memorising words according to the passage?( ) D A.Watching videos. B.Using magnetic tape. C.Reading the words repeatedly. D.Making hand movements. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.可知，学习词汇时做手势可以帮助人们更好地记住词汇。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 4 2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?( ) A A.The design of the research. B.The purpose of the research. C.The subjects of the research. D.The result of the research. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知，实验挑选了22名说德语的人在四天内学习90个新创造出来的单词，并观看含有和单词含义相匹配的手势的视频，同时也要求他们在重复单词时对手势进行模仿。由此可以推断出第二段介绍了实验过程的设计。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 5 3.What helped remember the meanings of the new words?( ) D A.The best questions. B.The equipment. C.The word type. D.The motor cortex. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的the researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learnt with gestures可知，在记忆新单词时起帮助作用的是运动皮层。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 6 4.What do the underlined words “were still tied” mean in the last paragraph?( ) A A.Achieved the same results. B.Did not help the adults equally. C.Failed to have beneficial effects. D.Were connected with each other. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures可知，六个月后通过手势辅助学习的成年人获益更多，结合still可推断出两个月后这两种学习方法的测试结果仍是一样的，故画线短语在此处表示“拥有相同的结果”。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 7 方法总结 利用上下文之间的逻辑关系解词义猜测题 在做词义猜测题时，如果上下文中出现逻辑衔接词，需要特别注意，上下文之间的逻辑关系有时会成为解答词义猜测题的关键信息。常见的逻辑关系有并列、递进、转折、因果、让步等。如本题中，画线词前的内容提到一项实验让成年人和儿童使用手势视频和图片辅助的方式学习新单词；表示转折的连词But后的内容与前面的内容形成转折，表示然而六个月之后，（比起图片辅助，）使用手势辅助学习的方式让成年人获益更多，而儿童从两种学习方法中受益同样多。由此可以推断，But前的内容表示，在实验开始的两个月后，手势视频和图片辅助产生的作用是差不多的。 刷阅读理解 8 [四川南充2024高一段考] I started learning English at the age of 22 in 1995, which is late to start studying a language.
