[话题语篇提升]
Ⅵ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Tell Me More
This app is widely used in US schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning app around the world. It offers instructions on learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the app does not come cheap as it costs around $250.
Talk Now
If you are looking for a cheaper language learning app, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This app will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good app for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive(互动的) activities for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This app provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best app for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended(推荐) and loved language learning app. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures(保证)that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
KidSpeak
This is a foreign language translation app that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This app is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.
( D )1.What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More?
A. It lacks language learning methods.
B.It offers no interactive activities.
C.It provides no interesting videos for children.
D.It costs much more than the others.
( B )2.Which of the apps best suits users with poor pronunciation?
A.Tell Me More. B.Instant Immersion.
C.Talk Now. D.KidSpeak.
( B )3.The author wrote this text to ________.
A.tell us the importance of learning a foreign language
B.introduce some language learning apps to us
C.tell us the advantages and disadvantages of some apps
D.encourage us to use apps in learning foreign languages
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个关于语言学习的应用程序。
1.D 细节理解题。根据Tell Me More部分中的“However, the app does not come cheap as it costs around $250.(然而,这款应用程序价格不菲,售价约为250美元。)”可知,Tell Me More的缺点是价格昂贵。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据Instant Immersion部分中的“The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures(保证) that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.(学习课程是高度互动的,一直存在的语音识别功能确保你在说话时发音正确。)”可知,Instant Immersion最适合发音不好的用户。故选B。
3.B 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了四个关于语言学习的应用程序,其目的是给读者介绍一些语言学习的应用程序。故选B。

2024·黄冈中学高一检测Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the population of the world was hunter-gatherers, small, closely connected groups developed their own speech different from each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation(工业化), the development of the nation-state and the spread of education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few years all have caused many languages to disappear, and__dominant__languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution(分布)of these languages is hugely unbalanced. The general rule is that warm, pleasant areas have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people, while hot, wet areas have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone has well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. For example, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
( B )4.What can we learn about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A.They became settled.
B.They were large in number.
C.They were similar patterns.
D.They were widely disliked.
( C )5.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Loose. B.Frequent.
C.Powerful. D.Modern.
( B )6. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A.About 6,800. B.About 3,400.
C.About 2,400. D.About 1,200.
( D )7. What can we learn from the text?
A.Languages disappear when people get tired of using them.
B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C.Weather determines the distribution of languages.
D.Human development results in fewer languages.
【语篇解读】文章讲述了人类语言的种类随着社会的发展变得越来越少及其原因。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句“当世界上的人口都是狩猎采集者的时候,小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间不同的讲话模式。一些语言专家认为,一万年前,当世界上只有500万到1 000万人的时候,他们之间所使用的语言可能达到12 000种。”可知,在世界上的人口都是狩猎采集者的时代,语言种类很多。故选B。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句“近几个世纪以来,贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和教育的普及,特别是过去几年的全球化和更好的通信(方式的出现),都导致许多语言消失,英语、西班牙语和汉语等dominant语言快速替代其他语言。”可知,许多语言已经消失,而英语、西班牙语和汉语等语言日益占据上风。由此可推知,英语、西班牙语和汉语等越来越占据统治地位,所以,dominant在句中意为“占优势的,占支配地位的”,与C选项中的powerful意义相近。故选C。
6. B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The median number(中位数) of speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.(全球不同语言使用人数的中位数只有6 000,这意味着世界上一半语言的使用者少于6 000人。)”以及第三段第一句“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.(目前,世界上大约有6 800种语言。)”可知,现在使用者少于6 000人的语言大约有3 400种。故选B。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“语言的产生和消失进行了几千年,但最近语言产生得少,消失得太多。”以及第二段“不久之后,那些人中的许多人开始定居下来,成为农民,他们的语言也变得越来越固定,数量越来越少。近几个世纪以来,贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和教育的普及,特别是过去几年的全球化和更好的通信(方式的出现),都导致许多语言消失……”可知,人类的发展导致许多语言消失,因此语言种类越来越少。故选D。
Ⅶ. 七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
