[课时作业评价] 主题阅读集群训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·淄博模拟) If you've ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be.Native languages seem almost built in.But learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize and troublesome rules to master.Nevertheless, it's worth the effort. John Grundy, a scientist at Iowa State University who specializes in languages and the brain, explains that learning a new language causes extensive neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) in the brain.In other words, when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed.“It's really just a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient，” Grundy says. These changes don't help with just language functions.Chung－Fat－Yim, a post－doctoral researcher at Northwestern University, says they affect the whole executive processing part of the brain, what she calls the CEO of the brain.Bilinguals (双语者) use that area for language control, but also for other purposes such as the ability to plan for future behaviors, monitor and change behavior as needed, and switch between tasks.Being bilingual might also make you a nicer person.The bilingual person has to have an awareness that different people can hold different mental states about the same event.So they are more likely to develop greater empathy (共情)． Having a second language can even help to prevent or at least delay intelligence decline.There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to put off symptoms of mental disorders for about four to six years compared to those speaking one language. If you're thinking it's too late, you're probably wrong.It's true that young children do more quickly learn whatever language they're exposed to.But when it comes to adding on a new one, adults aren't as at much of a disadvantage as you might think.If you practice a lot and bury yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习一门新语言可以给大脑带来的种种益处。 1．What does John Grundy think of picking up a new language? A．It reshapes the brain and improves its efficiency. B．It indeed lays a heavy burden on learners. C．It is enough to memorize vocabulary and grammar. D．It has a negative effect on learners' native language. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，John Grundy认为，学习一门新语言也是大脑重塑的过程，能让大脑变得更高效。 2．What do we know about bilinguals in paragraph 3? A．They change their behaviors frequently. B．They may not concentrate on one thing. C．They are more likely to understand others. D．They tend to find faults with others' work. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The bilingual person has to have an awareness that ...greater empathy (共情)．”可知，双语者更有可能培养出更强的同理心。由此推知，他们更有可能理解别人。 3．What is vital in acquiring a new language for adults? A．Age.　　　　　 B．Devotion. C．Motivation. D．Strategy. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But when it comes to adding ...especially when you get older.”可知，对于学习新的语言的成年人来说，全身心投入到这门语言中很重要。 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．How learning a language changes your brain. B．Picking up a new language is a huge challenge. C．Using more languages means less diseases. D．How to master a new language effectively. 解析：选A　主旨大意题。结合全文内容，特别是第二、四、五段的尾句可知，本文主要讲述学习一门语言对大脑有哪些影响。 B (2024·烟台模拟)A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back－and－forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen. The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals (哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn－taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another. While forms of communication are mostly sound－based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays. Kobin Kendrick, the main co－author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after，” he says. Additionally, while the idea of turn－taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well－mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn't always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn－taking in general，” says Kendrick. One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don't know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn－taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross－species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future，” says Kendrick. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。新的研究发现动物似乎也能像人一样，知道在交谈中什么时候该说话，什么时候该倾听。 5．What can we learn about the turn－taking behavior? A．It is a unique human quality. B．It is an acquired athletic skill. C．It occurs between familiar relations. D．It features complexity and interaction. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“A good conversation should ... be possessed only by humans.”可知，我们能从轮流行为中了解到，它具有复杂性和交互性。 6．Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication? A．Frogs show skin colors. B．Bees release smells. C．Eagles scream in the sky. D．Monkeys exchange calls. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段内容并结合选项可知，青蛙展示皮肤颜色属于视觉交流的一种形式。 7．Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5? A．To propose a definition. B．To give a contrast. C．To present an argument. D．To make a prediction. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，本段提到了“owl chicks”是为了和有序且彬彬有礼的动物画面作对比。 8．What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight? A．Research budget. B．Research range. C．Research frequency. D．Research background. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，最后一段强调了研究的目标，也就是研究范围。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·山东省实验中学模拟) Every sentence we speak shows something about who we are as humans.Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects.__9__ Whether you say “soda” or “pop” may reveal what country and what region you are from. __10__ Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people speaking the language.The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants.In some cases, this has happened over centuries. While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school, in fact language is always evolving.New words emerge while others fall out of use.Pronunciation changes over time as does the meaning of words.__11__ Our ability to learn language develops when we are young.Sounds heard as infants, or even in the womb, set the stage for language learning later.Baby cooing is the result of babies' analysis of the languages spoken to them.__12__ Children exposed to multiple languages early in life, and growing up multilingual, develop enhanced cognitive functions.These may include the ability to focus and ignore distractions. Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them.Each of the approximately 7,000 world languages is a testimony to a community's unique human experience.Yet, many languages around the world are endangered.It is possible that as many as half of the world's languages could go silent by the end of this century.Why？__13__ But they boil down to social inequalities and disrespect for others. A．The reasons are complex. B．Languages change with time. C．These are rooted in their history and culture. D．What kind of slang you use may come from the habits of place you grew up in. E．Language also shows the connections between us and our natural environment. F．Babies are practicing the pronunciation of sounds that they need for communication. G．People also borrow words from languages other than their own to add to their own vocabulary. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍人类的语言学习能力的发展过程，说明了语言能够反映历史和文化，体现人与自然界之间的联系。 9．选C　由上、下文可知，即使是说同一种语言的人，也有其不同的方言，语言还可以透露出你来自哪个国家和地区，说明语言根植于人类的历史与文化中，C选项符合语境。 10．选E　根据后文可知，本段的主旨是语言体现了人与自然环境之间的关系，E选项符合语境。 11．选G　根据上文可知，单词的意思和发音会随着时间推移而变化，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这些变化的其他方式，G选项符合语境。 12．选F　根据上文可知，人在婴儿时期就在为后期的语言学习做准备工作，婴儿咿呀学语的声音是婴儿分析对他们所说的语言的结果，空处承接上文，即人在婴儿时期就开始练习他们交流所需的发音，故F选项符合语境。 13．选A　根据上文“It is possible that as many as ...this century.Why？”可知，空处回答上文提出的为什么语言会消失的问题。A选项“原因很复杂”符合语境，且与下文自然承接。 Ⅲ.完形填空 (2024·青岛质检) Each year, eight children in an average class in the UK are unable to read well when they leave primary school.
