[广东深圳外国语学校2024高一月考] The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character—a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu barada nikto”.What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.

I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解).I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu barada nikto.

2.What makes the author fall behind in language?( )
C
A.Learning needs. B.Teaching tasks. C.Age difference. D.Language abuse.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,作者认为,随着时间的流逝,自己变老了,当自己二三十岁的时候,作者认为自己跟学生的年龄差距不大,所以跟学生的沟通不成问题,而现在,作者跟学生的年龄差距变大了,已经无法跟上学生使用的语言。由此可知,日益扩大的年龄差异使作者在语言上落后,无法理解年轻的学生们所说的内容。故选C项。

3.What does the author think of language change?( )
D
A.It is entirely avoidable. B.It is really small.
C.It is very beneficial. D.It is much too rapid.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的I am not against change, but… I just wouldn’t understand the language.可知,作者并不反对变化,但当变化的速度太快时,就会让作者紧张不安,犹如从五年的小睡中醒来,听不懂人们在谈论什么。由此推知,作者认为语言变化得太快了,让自己无所适从,五年的变化便足以让自己跟不上。故选D项。

4.What does the underlined word “wanes” in the last paragraph mean?( )
A
A.Reduces. B.Grows. C.Happens. D.Focuses.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations和But可知,此处有转折,当前作者依然有了解学生们谈话内容的兴趣,但是作者担心有一天这种兴趣减退了,自己就完全无法理解他们的话了。因此,wane的意思应该是“减退,减少”,与reduce意思相近。故选A项。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Victoria was my best friend, whose mother was a social worker in Detroit, Michigan. Because of that, Victoria and I were introduced early to the world of volunteering.
We did plenty of charity work. We always had a good time, and continued to volunteer whenever we had time, often even when we didn’t. It became our second nature. Hairstyles came and went, but Victoria and I found places to donate our time because that’s how we were raised.
One particular morning we signed up for “Paint the Town”, an organisation in Detroit to help low-income homeowners clean their houses. We were assigned (分配) a dilapidated (破烂的) house in one of the worst communities of the city. I was afraid as we got near to the front door, not knowing who we would find on the other side. We knocked three times quickly and stepped back, waiting to be let in.
When the door opened, my mouth did, too. Standing there was a little old lady with wisps (缕) of white hair and a purple apron (围裙) tied around her waist.

“Hello,” she said, “I’m Amelia. Please come in and I will show you where to start.” Her smile shone brightly. “I am just baking some cookies for you girls to eat.”
As she led us to the parts of her house that needed painting, my heart softened. Here was one of the scariest-looking houses in the city, but behind its door was a sweet old lady with a cane and a big smile.
Here we were coming to help her, and instead she was doing something for us—baking homemade cookies and serving us tea!

【参考范文】
There was no age barrier that day as we worked on Amelia’s house. Amelia stayed close by, talking to us as we painted and telling us about her homeland and how she came to Detroit. I felt so sad about her living in such a poor part of the neighbourhood with no one to keep her company. When I told her so, she laughed at me.
“Nonsense!” she criticised. “This is my house even if it is not good enough. I feel blessed that you girls came to help fix it up. I’m happy here. I’ve watched the neighbourhood change, and seen people come and go, but I always stay here. We may all be different on the outside, but on the inside, we are all just after the same thing—the community. Keep it up. Nothing will make you happier than helping other people.” What she said to me was repeated over and over again as I volunteered in different parts of the town.
