Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
2024·信阳高级中学高一检测A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin & Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound alike in several unrelated languages. They're less likely than other words to include the consonant(辅音) sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the world's languages, no matter how different they are.
Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses(咒骂语) seem to have something in common: They're often short and include the sounds P, T or K. Then Dr McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether these rules went beyond English.
During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers of Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Korean and Russian to list the worst words they could think of. Once they'd made a list of each language's most commonly used curses, the researchers compared these with neutral(中性的) words from the same language. To their surprise, the rules still apply.
Next, the scientists asked the same people to listen to pairs of invented words, such as “yog” and “tsog” and guess which word in each pair was a curse. The subjects were more likely to guess that words without L, R, W and Y, such as “tsog”, were curses. Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.
“Most 20th-century language scientists held that any word could have any meaning,” said Dr McKay. “With curses, though, the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning. This can shape and change our understanding of how languages are formed.”
“It is the first time for researchers to study curses across languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University of California, who was not involved in the study. “But it is just another case of what's called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.”
( B )1.Which word is most probably not a cleaned-up curse according to the text?
A.Rucy. B.Buk
C.Yayad. D.Walawah.
( D )2.What did the researchers do in their last step?
A.They applied their study findings to more unrelated languages.
B.They studied the neutral words and curses side by side.
C.They asked people to listen to pairs of non-existing words.
D.They compared English curses with their friendly versions.
( C )3.What did Benjamin Bergen mean?
A.The study method is really unscientific.
B.It will change our understanding in a way.
C.It is not a totally new discovery at all.
D.The selected languages are too limited.
( A )4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce a newly published study.
B.To prove the unique rules in English.
C.To tell another way of memorising words.
D.To show how to use more friendly curses.
【语篇解读】研究发现,几种不相关的语言中的咒骂语听起来相似。与其他词相比,它们不太可能包含辅音字母L、R、W或Y。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They're less likely than other words to include the consonant(辅音) sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added.(与其他单词相比,这些单词不太可能包含L、R、W或Y等辅音,而这些词的更友好的版本通常会加上这些音。)”和第二段中的“Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses(咒骂语) seem to have something in common: They're often short and include the sounds P, T or K.(该论文的合著者瑞恩·麦凯偶然发现,一些英语咒骂语似乎有一些共同点。它们通常很短,包括P、T或K的音。)”可知,咒骂语通常很短,且包括P、T或K的音,而净化后更友好的咒骂语中会有L、R、W或Y等音,所以“Buk”不含有L、R、W或Y音,因此不是净化后的咒骂语。故选B。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.(最后,研究人员在词典中查找了英语咒骂语和它们的净化版本。再一次,净化后的版本包含了更多的L、R、W和Y音。)”可知,研究人员最后做的是在词典中查找英语咒骂语和它们的净化版本并进行比较。故选D。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Benjamin Bergen说的话“But it is just another case of what's called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.(但这只是语言研究中所谓的声音象征主义的另一个例子:一个词听起来就像它的意思。)”可知,Benjamin Bergen的意思是这项研究只是声音象征主义研究的另一个例子,并不是全新的发现。故选C。
4.A 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其结合第一段中的“A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin & Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound alike in several unrelated languages.(周二发表在《心理环境通报与评论》杂志上的一项研究发现,在几种不相关的语言中,表达愤怒情绪的词语听起来很相似。)”可知,文章介绍了一项关于表达愤怒情绪的词语的研究,所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一项新发表的研究。故选A。

There was also an old man writing Chinese calligraphy: his writing was so free and elegant! Another man 10.__sitting__(sit) next to him showed me how seal carving(印章篆刻) works. Chinese characters are carved into small squares of stone and stamped onto paper with ink.
What an unforgettable experience and it will always stick in my memory!
【语篇解读】文章讲述作者在一次中国艺术节上的所见所闻。
1.stands 考查名词的数。句意:有不同的展台,艺术家可以展示他们的技能,并教游客!stand意为“展台”,是可数名词;根据空前的were可知,此处用复数形式作主语。故填stands。
2.has been regarded 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:作为一名像我这样的外国学生,这次经历被认为是迄今为止最令人兴奋的一次。根据so far可知,句子时态应用现在完成时,experience和regard之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此句子用现在完成时的被动语态。主语this experience表单数,所以谓语动词用单数形式。故填has been regarded。
3.exhibition 考查名词。句意:首先引起我注意的是这场令人惊叹的中国瓷器展览上的一件15世纪的青花瓷碗。breathtaking是形容词,修饰名词,exhibit的名词是exhibition,意为“展览”。故填exhibition。
4.vividly 考查副词。句意:它生动地描绘了一条龙在玩球。空格处用副词vividly修饰动词illustrated。故填vividly。
5.but 考查连词。句意:这很难,但是很有趣!It was difficult和a lot of fun之间是转折关系,因此空格处用but表转折。故填but。
6.a 考查冠词。句意:与此同时,另一个摊位上的一位女性正在用针和线做刺绣,看起来很漂亮!woman是可数名词,此处泛指“一位女士”,前面要加不定冠词,且woman以辅音音素开头。故填a。
7.which 考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语。故填which。
8.decorated 考查非谓语动词。句意:然后我走进一个装饰得像中国传统书房的区域,墙上挂着两幅美丽的中国画,画的是一棵松树和一些竹子。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语为went,因此空格处用非谓语动词,section和decorate之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语。故填decorated。
9.with 考查介词。句意同上。此处是with复合结构,即“with+名词+过去分词”结构,因此空格处填介词with。故填with。
10.sitting 考查非谓语动词。句意:坐在他旁边的另一个人向我展示了印章篆刻的工作原理。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语为showed,因此空格处用非谓语动词作定语,man和sit之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动。故填sitting。

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How are you doing?I'm glad to hear from you.From your letter, I know that your class will develop the students' interest in Chinese learning.Now I share some advice with you.
To begin with,all the signs and slogans in your class should be written in both Chinese and English, which can create an atmosphere for you to learn Chinese.Secondly, you should set up a Chinese Corner in your class, where you can practise your spoken Chinese.Last but not least, you should invite some Chinese teachers who have a good command of Chinese to come to your class to communicate with students face to face.I do hope my suggestions can be helpful.
I'm looking forward to getting your good news soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
