Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·重庆八中检测）Deep down， everyone wants to be understood.The study of children aged 3 to 12 years old was led by Seyda Özcaliskan， a psychological scientist at Georgia State University， whose research tries to understand how language affects the way people construct and express ideas， which can be seen in gestures. 　　As one kind of non-verbal communication， gestures may indicate how someone is feeling and could perhaps reveal insights into children’s cognitive abilities as they develop， so Özcaliskan thinks. 　　In this latest study， 100 children were asked first to describe an action with words and hand movements， and then to describe the same action without speaking using only their hands.Half the children were native English speakers， and the other 50 kids spoke Turkish as their first language.English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events. 　　“If you’re speaking Turkish and want to describe someone running into a house， you have to chunk it up.You say， ‘he’s running and then he enters the house，’” explains Özcaliskan.“But if it’s in English， they’ll just say ‘he ran into the house，’ all in one compact sentence.” “We wanted to find out whether gesture does or does not follow these linguistic （语言的） differences and how early children learn these patterns，” she adds. 　　When children spoke and gestured at the same time， Turkish-speaking children ordered their gestures the same as they would a sentence， and English-speaking children pressed theirs into one movement.However， when describing the same scenes without speaking， the language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated （蒸发）， which echoes Özcaliskan earlier work with adults and further proves that language can influence non-verbal representations of events. 　　Özcaliskan and colleagues suggest their findings， although tentative （尝试性的）， hint at the possibility that we all share some fundamental non-verbal communication system that gets overridden once we start learning language.Of course， this research interpreted abstract gestures from a few hundred subjects — hardly enough data to support such a big claim， but certainly an inviting idea to explore. 1.Why did the study employ children of different native languages？（　　） A.To test linguistic influences on non-verbal expression. B.To uncover the universal meaning of a specific gesture. C.To recognize how speakers of each language describe events. D.To prove the same gesture has different meanings in distinct cultures. 2.What does the phrase “chunk it up” in paragraph 4 mean？（　　） A.Cut it out.　　　　B.Join it up. C.Break it down.　　　　D.Pair it off. 3.What does Özcaliskan think of their findings？（　　） A.Conclusive.　　 　B.Worthwhile. C.Pioneering.　　 　　　D.Groundless. 4.Which of the following sentences best summarize the new findings？（　　） A.Gestures influence human linguistic development. B.Non-verbal communication conveys more than words. C.A shared non-verbal communication system might exist. D.Cultural settings decide the way people construct their ideas. B 　　（2025·山东名校联盟期中）In a 2012 study， Boaz Keysar， a professor at the University of Chicago in the US， led an experiment on the relationship between foreign languages and people’s way of thinking. 　　In the experiment， people were asked to make a choice： Just take one pound or take a 50-percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds.When given this choice in their native language， most people took the safe option of only getting one pound.But they were more willing to make the riskier choice when asked in a foreign language， leading to more profits overall， according to The Guardian.As Keysar put it， “People just hate the chance of losing， but they hate it less in a foreign language.” 　　In another study published this year， Keysar and his team did an experiment in which participants were given a series of related words like “dream”， “snooze”， “bed” and “rest”.Later， when asked which words they remembered hearing， people were more likely to mistakenly remember “sleep”， which was not on the list， in their native language.But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language.As Keysar explained， people have more careful thinking when using a foreign language， leading to more accurate memories. 　　The foreign language effect may even influence our personality.Silvia Purpuri at the University of Trento， Italy， looked at people’s willingness to face uncertainty and enter unfamiliar situations.Being tolerant （宽容的） of uncertainty allows people to have more creative ideas and be more open to new things.It turns out that people naturally score more highly on this trait （特点） when they can speak or use a foreign language because speaking a foreign language requires taking risks. 　　The evidence is clear： By learning a foreign language， you’re not just learning a language — you’re gaining a new state of mind. 5.What does the first experiment suggest？（　　） A.People like expressing in a foreign language. B.People are afraid of losing in face of money. C.People make quick choices in their native language. D.People prefer riskier decisions in a foreign language. 6.Which of the following best explains “accurate” underlined in paragraph 3？（　　） A.Colorful.　　　　　　 B.Simple. C.Usual.　　　　　　 D.Exact. 7.Willingness to face uncertainty makes people　　　　.（　　） A.cool-headed　　　　　 B.open-minded C.light-hearted　　 　 D.easy-going 8.What is the main idea of this text？（　　） A.Learning foreign languages helps a lot. B.People should learn to face uncertainty. C.Foreign languages influence how people think. D.Personality has an effect on language learning.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比不同语言背景儿童的手势表达，探索了语言如何影响非言语沟通及认知发展。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句和第三段最后一句可知，选择不同母语的孩子的目的是测试这些语言差异是否会影响非言语表达。 2.C　词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句及下句可知，土耳其语描述某人跑进一所房子时，会将句子分解成“他在跑”，然后“他进入了房子”两个部分进行表述。由此推断，画线短语意为“分解”。 3.B　推理判断题。根据尾段尾句可知，这项研究尽管不足以支持如此重大的论断，但确实是一个值得探索的有趣想法。由此推断，Özcaliskan认为这项研究是值得的。 4.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句以及尾段首句可知，研究发现当孩子们不说话仅用手势描述同一场景时，语言特有的手势差异似乎消失了。C项（可能存在一种共享的非言语交流系统）总结了新的研究发现。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，外语对于人们思维方式有影响。 5.D　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可推知，人们在外语环境下更愿意冒险。 6.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前半句可知，人们在使用外语时思考会更加仔细，因此也就会有更加准确的记忆。画线词意为“准确的”。 7.B　推理判断题。根据第四段第三句可推知，乐意接受不确定性会使人们有更多创造性的想法，也更愿意接受新事物，也就是使人思维开放。 8.C　主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段可知，本文研究了外语对人们思维方式的影响。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在实验不断失败后是如何调整心态，并最终获得成功的故事。 9.A　根据上文可知，实验不顺利，作者很沮丧。 10.D　根据空后的adjusting my experimental method in various ways可知，作者一直重复实验。 11.C　根据句首表示转折的But，以及实验失败可知，结果仍然令人失望。 12.D　根据空后的about my academic path arose以及上文作者花费了10个月重复实验还是失败可知，作者开始对学术道路产生怀疑。 13.B　根据空后的the complex research content以及下句中的such as language barriers and cultural adjustments可知，作者在研究领域被复杂的研究内容所困扰，下文补充说明了其他挑战。 14.A　空后的such as language barriers and cultural adjustments指面临的个人挑战。 15.A　根据空前的such as language barriers and cultural adjustments可知，个人挑战增加了作者的压力。 16.C　根据空后的a totally different method可知，朋友提出不同的方法。 17.B　根据上句可知，建议让作者取得了成功。 18.C　根据空后的understanding why I failed可知，作者领悟到应该专注于理解自己失败的原因。 19.D　根据下句可知，得到了很多关注。 20.D　根据空后的me to explore the problem in more detail可知，海报获奖鼓励作者更详细地探讨问题。 21.B　本段末句中的to be learned in negative results提到从消极结果中吸取教训可知，是发展了批判性思维策略。 22.C　根据空后的the troubleshooting （故障排除） method可知，作者强调排除故障的方法。 23.A　根据本段首句可知，作者教学生从消极的结果中吸取教训。 Ⅲ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汉语拼音。 24.an　考查冠词。system为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且effective的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。 25.teaching　考查非谓语动词。介词for后接动词-ing形式teaching，作宾语。 26.widely　考查副词。空处修饰动词is used，应用副词widely作状语。 27.easier　考查形容词比较级。空处应用形容词作宾语补语，结合下文的than before可知，应用形容词比较级easier。 28.countries　考查名词复数。空处应用名词作宾语，结合various可知，应用名词复数形式countries。 29.to/for　考查介词。provide sth to/for sb为固定搭配，意为“提供某物给某人”。 30.to read　考查非谓语动词。空处修饰名词way应用动词不定式作后置定语。 31.difficulty　考查名词。不定冠词a修饰单数可数名词，空处应用名词difficulty。 32.that/which　考查关系代词。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词many letter combinations，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用that或which。 33.it　考查代词。此处为It is＋adj.＋to do ...固定句型，it为形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。 5
