In September 2024, Hurricane Helene struck the southeastern United States, causing widespread damage. For David Jones, a 65-year-old man living in Boiling Springs, South Carolina, the storm presented a personal crisis. His home was safe, but his daughter Elizabeth’s wedding was scheduled for the following day in Johnson City, Tennessee. David was determined to be there to walk her down the aisle, a promise he intended to keep no matter what.
David’s wife, Debbie, faced a difficult choice. Her elderly and unwell mother, who lived with them, could not be left alone in the aftermath of the storm. With regret, Debbie decided to stay behind to provide care. Understanding the importance of David’s role, she did not try to discourage him from undertaking the challenging journey alone.
David set out by car, but his progress was quickly halted. Major roads were blocked by fallen trees and floodwaters, and state troopers turned all traffic away, declaring the routes impassable. Refusing to accept defeat, David made a bold decision. He parked his car, packed a small backpack with essentials, and began to continue his journey on foot.
What followed was an exhausting long walk through a damaged landscape. For hours, he trudged forward in the dark, using his cellphone as a flashlight. The path was dangerous, covered in thick mud and scattered with debris from the storm. He carefully navigated around obstacles and through areas littered with broken branches. His remarkable determination did not go unnoticed. After walking a significant distance, he encountered a state trooper who, moved by his story, offered him a ride to a nearby town. This act of kindness was followed by another when a local pickup truck driver helped him cover the final miles to his old house in Johnson City.
Beaten, muddy, but utterly resolved, David had just enough time to clean up and change into an old suit before hurrying to the church. As the ceremony began, he stood proudly beside his daughter. Without revealing the hardships of his journey, he fulfilled his cherished promise, walking Elizabeth down the aisle.
4. Why did David Jones have to travel to Johnson City despite the hurricane?
A. To perform his role in his daughter’s wedding.
B. To check on his old property that was for sale.
C. To deliver essential supplies to the storm - hit area.
D. To protect his family from the dangerous storm.
5. What is Debbie’s attitude towards David’s journey?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Uncertain. D. Cautious.
6. The word “trudged” in paragraph 4 most likely means ______.
A. ran quickly and nervously
B. drove carefully and steadily
C. walked slowly with great effort
D. marched confidently and happily
7. Which of the following best summarizes the main theme of the text?

At a time when productivity means using every second and screens erase the line between work and home, some people are slowing down and disconnecting by looking to communication devices from the past.
Activities like writing letters, along with typewriter clubs and communities showcasing calligraphy skills, are giving old-fashioned writing instruments a rebirth. More than charming throwbacks, the pursuits provide their enthusiasts with opportunities to reduce their technology use, be more intentional with time and build strong connections with others.
“I feel as though my pen pals are my friends. To me, they are no different from the friends I chat with on the phone, in cafes, or at other people’s homes,” said Melissa Bobbitt, 42, a devoted letter - writer who corresponds with about a dozen people from her home in Claremont, California, and has had up to 40 pen pals at one time. “Focusing on one person and really reading what they are saying, and sharing what’s on your heart is almost like a comforting and restorative process. ”
Stephania Kontopanos, a 21-year-old student in Chicago, said it can be hard to put her phone and computer away, especially when it seems all of her friends and peers are on social media and her classes and personal life revolve around being online. “There are times when I’m with my friends and at dinner, I’ll realize we are all on our phones,” Kontopanos said, adding that she tries to put her phone down at those moments.
Kontopanos also unplugs consciously by sending postcards to her family and friends, making scrapbooks and junk journals, which involve repurposing everyday materials like tickets and receipts to document memories or ideas. She says going to the post office has become an activity she does with her mother back home in Kansas and includes sharing stories with the postal workers, people she would not have routinely encountered.
While writing letters and engaging in other old-fashioned pursuits might seem accessible, it is not always easy to get involved. For many people, carving out time to slow down can feel like another duty in a schedule filled with to - dos.
8. What do the old-fashioned pursuits mainly offer their fans?
A. Memories filled with personal feelings.
B. Chances to cut tech use and build close bonds.
C. Access to typewriter clubs and communities.
D. Ways to improve writing and calligraphy skills.
9. Why does Melissa Bobbitt love writing letters?
A. It enables her to connect with her family.
B. It is more convenient than online chatting.
C. It helps her to maintain a wide social circle.
D. It facilitates deep and healing communication.
10. Which word can best describe Stephania Kontopanos?
A. Determined. B. Optimistic.
C. Intelligent. D. Energetic.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Slowing Down in the Digital Age to Connect
B. Escaping Screens Through Personal Writing
C. Learning Skills Through Previous Activities
D. Replacing Screens with Traditional Tools
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A

In the concrete jungles that define modern cities, a quiet revolution is taking root — urban microforests. These compact, dense (密集的) green spaces, often no larger than a basketball court, are emerging as powerful solutions to some of the most pressing urban problems, from air pollution to mental health crises. Unlike traditional city parks with neatly cut lawns, microforests mimic natural woodland ecosystems, packing dozens of native plant species into small areas to create thriving habitats.
The concept, pioneered by botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s, has gained global traction in recent years as cities seek sustainable development. A study by the International Society for Urban Ecology (ISUE) tracked 120 microforests across 30 cities, including Tokyo, Berlin, and Mexico City. The results were striking: microforests reduced local air temperatures by an average of 3.2 ℃ during summer heatwaves, a critical advantage as urban heat islands grow more intense due to climate change. They also absorbed 20% more carbon dioxide per square meter than traditional parks, thanks to their diverse plant layers — from tall canopy trees to low-lying shrubs.
Beyond environmental benefits, urban microforests deliver significant social value. A survey conducted by the University of Copenhagen found that residents living within 500 meters of a microforest reported 15% lower stress levels and 22% higher subjective well-being compared to those without access to such spaces. “The biodiversity of microforests creates a sensory experience — birdsong, fragrant flowers, rustling leaves — that connects people to nature in a way that manicured (修剪整齐的) parks rarely do, ” explains Dr. Lena Olsen, lead researcher of the study.
However, the expansion of urban microforests faces practical challenges. Land scarcity in city centers means many projects must repurpose underused spaces — abandoned lots, rooftop areas, or even highway medians. Maintenance is another issue: while mature microforests are self-sustaining, young ones require regular care to prevent invasive species from overtaking native plants.
As cities continue to grow, the role of urban microforests will only become more vital. They prove that even small pockets of nature can make a big difference, turning concrete spaces into vibrant, life-sustaining ecosystems. For urban planners and residents alike, microforests offer a hopeful, actionable path toward greener, healthier cities.
12. What fundamentally distinguishes microforests from traditional parks?
A. More green spaces.
B. Better temperature reduction.
C. Dense native plant ecosystems.
D. Professional maintenance needs.
13. What can be learned about the ISUE study?
A. It focused specifically on carbon absorption.
B. It was limited to temperate climate regions.
C. It collected data mainly through local surveys.
D. It analyzed data from multiple urban locations.
14. Why are microforests more effective in boosting people’s well-being?
A. They offer enhanced recreational facilities.
B. They are situated in central urban locations.
C. They employ professional ecological management.
D. They build a closer connection between people and nature.
15. What is the author’s overall viewpoint?
A Microforests can replace traditional parks.
B. Microforests are impractical despite their benefits.
C. Microforests are transformative despite challenges.
D. Microforests have been popular around the world.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正在城市兴起的“城市微森林”,以及给城市和居民带来的积极的影响及其面临的挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike traditional city parks with neatly cut lawns, microforests mimic natural woodland ecosystems, packing dozens of native plant species into small areas to create thriving habitats.(与传统城市公园里整齐修剪的草坪不同,微型森林模仿天然林地生态系统,将数十种本土植物密集种植在小片区域,以营造生机盎然的栖息地。)”可知,微森林拥有密集的本土植物生态系统,使它区别与传统的城市公园。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A study by the International Society for Urban Ecology (ISUE) tracked 120 microforests across 30 cities, including Tokyo, Berlin, and Mexico City.(国际城市生态学会(ISUE)的一项研究追踪了包括东京、柏林和墨西哥城在内的30座城市的120片微型森林。)”可知,ISUE的研究分析了来自多个城市的微森林的数据。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““The biodiversity of microforests creates a sensory experience — birdsong, fragrant flowers, rustling leaves — that connects people to nature in a way that manicured (修剪整齐的) parks rarely do, ” explains Dr. Lena Olsen, lead researcher of the study.(“微型森林的生物多样性创造了一种感官体验——鸟鸣、芬芳的花朵、沙沙作响的树叶——以一种修剪整齐的公园很少能做到的方式将人们与自然联系起来,”该研究的首席研究员莉娜·奥尔森博士解释道。”)”可知,微森林更有效地提高了人们的幸福感,是因为它们把人和自然更紧密地联系在了一起。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, the expansion of urban microforests faces practical challenges.(然而,城市微森林的扩张面临实际挑战。)”和最后一段“They prove that even small pockets of nature can make a big difference, turning concrete spaces into vibrant, life-sustaining ecosystems.(它们证明,即便是小片自然区域也能产生巨大影响,将混凝土空间转变为充满活力、维持生命的生态系统。)”可推知,作者认为微型森林尽管面临许多挑战,但仍具有变革性。故选C。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use two or more languages competently in daily communication, work, study, or even thinking. Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably. ____16____
Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism. Seas of papers have explored the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond opening conversational doors, it’s said to improve executive function — the ability to ignore distractions, plan tasks, and update beliefs. It’s also linked to a later onset of dementia (痴呆), on average. Here is the good news. ____17____ A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn’t boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a multilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. ____18____
But there are many massive variables in such studies. ____19____ Besides, studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages from speaking several languages.
____20____ According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.
A. The effects vary.
B. Age also matters.
C. But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.
D. This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.
E. It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.
F. Some researchers argue that the observed advantages might be temporary and fade over time.
G. For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了多语言对大脑认知功能的影响,包括其潜在的认知益处、影响因素以及年龄因素的作用。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably.(那么,掌握多门语言对大脑有好处吗?或许会有)”及下文“Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism.( 首先,让我们来看看多语言能力对认知方面可能带来的好处)”可推知,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句。前文提出多语言对大脑有益,后文开始讨论认知益处。C选项“But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.(但扩大社交圈绝对是一个好处)”既承接了前文的“probably”,又引出多语言的其他益处,符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Here is the good news.(这是个好消息)”及下文“A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn't boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.(2019年的一项研究表明,成年人适度的语言学习不会提高执行功能,但会减缓与年龄相关的衰退)”可推知,此处应填入与成年人学习语言相关的内容。E选项“It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.(为了大脑健康,开始学习一门新语言永远不会太晚。即使你晚一点开始,你的大脑仍然可以收获好处)”与下文“adults”和“Even if you start later”相呼应。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control.(例如,他们在简单加减法问题之间反复切换的速度比单语者更快,这表明他们通常有更好的认知控制能力)”可推知,此处需要解释这种频繁切换的影响。D选项“This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.(这种频繁的切换以独特的方式磨练认知技能)”中的“switching”与上文”jumping back and forth”相呼应。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“But there are many massive variables in such studies.(但这类研究中存在许多巨大的变量)”可推知,此处需要举例说明这些变量。G选项“For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.(例如,在国外长大的儿童可能拥有与多语言无关的认知优势)”中的“For example”直接呼应上文的“variables”,举例说明了混杂变量。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据下文“According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.(根据研究,多语言儿童在早年认知发展方面似乎表现更好。他们认为语言对大脑的影响对幼儿比对成年人更强)”可推知,本段主要讨论年龄因素对多语言益处的影响。B选项“Age also matters.(年龄也很重要)”作为本段主题句,准确概括了段落内容。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:上海不再仅仅是国际餐饮品牌和顶级法式美食的门户,如今这里还遍布着台州菜、宁波菜以及潮州菜、福建菜、云南菜和川菜等地方风味的餐厅,即便是最资深的美食家也会为之倾倒。此处修饰名词restaurants应用形容词provincial表示“地方的”作定语。故填provincial。

【38题详解】

【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:2017 年,上海被宣布为中国大陆首个米其林指南的颁发地,这标志着中国厨师开始迎来一个新的时代,他们的作品得到了更多的认可。动词signal意为“标志”,和系动词之间没有连词,和主句构成主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填signalling/signaling。

【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:对于厨师们而言,追求获得高度赞誉成为了提升标准、注重食材来源以及改进烹饪技巧的强有力举措。此处move意为“举措”,为抽象名词,应用to do不定式作后置定语。故填to improve。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:一位知名厨师表示:“这些奖项极大地提升了当地中餐馆的知名度。”此处作宾语应用名词visibility表示“知名度”。故填visibility。

47. 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。
Getting home from Eastern Europe was a long trip, but my friends and I wanted to enjoy our three-hour stop in Paris. We didn’t have time to leave the airport, so Mark, John and I chose a nice airport restaurant. I decided to take a photo of the menu to remember it. I reached into my backpack for my camera, expecting to feel my passport too. I always kept it close during our two-week English teaching trip. I found my camera, but where was my passport? I started to panic. I opened my backpack wide and checked every pocket. It was gone. “My passport is missing,” I told Mark and John.
John asked, “Do you remember when you last had it?” I thought hard: We flew from Minsk to Paris. I definitely had it when we landed. I took it out several times at checkpoints. My friends were taller and walked faster, so I often hurried to keep up. I remembered putting my passport back quickly. I thought to myself, “Did it fall out then? How could I fly to San Francisco without it?”
I stood up. “I need to go back the way we came,” I said. I walked through the busy airport to the first checkpoint we passed earlier. Using my basic French, I asked an airport worker if anyone found an American passport. “No, madam,” he said. He told me to ask at the security desk, but I got lost. I asked several people, but no one could tell me where the security desk was. I felt hopeless.
Time was running out. Each passing minute made my stomach tighten with anxiety, but I couldn’t give up. Then, I thought about the seats where we first sat when we arrived at this terminal (航站楼). Maybe I dropped it there. A small spark of hope cut through my worry. It was my last but best idea. I hurried back to that area. The seats were mostly empty, except for a middle-aged man sitting next to where I had been. He was looking around, holding something in his hand.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I walked over and the man noticed me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I quickly went to a nearby café and bought the man a coffee.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I walked over and the man noticed me. “Excuse me,” I said, “I lost my passport. Have you seen it?” He smiled with relief. “Is this yours?” he asked, showing me a blue passport. He explained that he was going to get a coffee when he saw the passport on the seat. He added that he had asked the people nearby, but it did not belong to any of them, so he waited there, hoping the owner would return. My heart jumped. I checked the passport and confirmed it was mine. I thanked him sincerely, telling him he had saved me. To express my gratitude, I decided to buy him a coffee.
I quickly went to a nearby café and bought the man a coffee. When I returned, we talked for a minute. He was in a hurry for his flight too. After saying goodbye, I rushed back to the restaurant. Mark and John were worried. “Did you find it?” Mark asked. I held up my passport with a big smile. “Yes! A kind man found it and waited for me.” We gathered our things and went straight to our gate. As we boarded the flight home, I held my passport tightly. The rest of the journey felt safe and easy, thanks to the help of a stranger.

In September 2024, Hurricane Helene struck the southeastern United States, causing widespread damage. For David Jones, a 65-year-old man living in Boiling Springs, South Carolina, the storm presented a personal crisis. His home was safe, but his daughter Elizabeth’s wedding was scheduled for the following day in Johnson City, Tennessee. David was determined to be there to walk her down the aisle, a promise he intended to keep no matter what.
David’s wife, Debbie, faced a difficult choice. Her elderly and unwell mother, who lived with them, could not be left alone in the aftermath of the storm. With regret, Debbie decided to stay behind to provide care. Understanding the importance of David’s role, she did not try to discourage him from undertaking the challenging journey alone.
David set out by car, but his progress was quickly halted. Major roads were blocked by fallen trees and floodwaters, and state troopers turned all traffic away, declaring the routes impassable. Refusing to accept defeat, David made a bold decision. He parked his car, packed a small backpack with essentials, and began to continue his journey on foot.
What followed was an exhausting long walk through a damaged landscape. For hours, he trudged forward in the dark, using his cellphone as a flashlight. The path was dangerous, covered in thick mud and scattered with debris from the storm. He carefully navigated around obstacles and through areas littered with broken branches. His remarkable determination did not go unnoticed. After walking a significant distance, he encountered a state trooper who, moved by his story, offered him a ride to a nearby town. This act of kindness was followed by another when a local pickup truck driver helped him cover the final miles to his old house in Johnson City.
Beaten, muddy, but utterly resolved, David had just enough time to clean up and change into an old suit before hurrying to the church. As the ceremony began, he stood proudly beside his daughter. Without revealing the hardships of his journey, he fulfilled his cherished promise, walking Elizabeth down the aisle.
4. Why did David Jones have to travel to Johnson City despite the hurricane?
A. To perform his role in his daughter’s wedding.
B. To check on his old property that was for sale.
C. To deliver essential supplies to the storm - hit area.
D. To protect his family from the dangerous storm.
5. What is Debbie’s attitude towards David’s journey?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Uncertain. D. Cautious.
6. The word “trudged” in paragraph 4 most likely means ______.
A. ran quickly and nervously
B. drove carefully and steadily
C. walked slowly with great effort
D. marched confidently and happily
7. Which of the following best summarizes the main theme of the text?
A. The huge challenges of traveling after a storm.
B. A father’s unwavering commitment to his family.
C. The unpredictable and destructive power of nature.
D. The importance of community help during disasters.
C
At a time when productivity means using every second and screens erase the line between work and home, some people are slowing down and disconnecting by looking to communication devices from the past.
Activities like writing letters, along with typewriter clubs and communities showcasing calligraphy skills, are giving old-fashioned writing instruments a rebirth. More than charming throwbacks, the pursuits provide their enthusiasts with opportunities to reduce their technology use, be more intentional with time and build strong connections with others.
“I feel as though my pen pals are my friends. To me, they are no different from the friends I chat with on the phone, in cafes, or at other people’s homes,” said Melissa Bobbitt, 42, a devoted letter - writer who corresponds with about a dozen people from her home in Claremont, California, and has had up to 40 pen pals at one time. “Focusing on one person and really reading what they are saying, and sharing what’s on your heart is almost like a comforting and restorative process. ”
Stephania Kontopanos, a 21-year-old student in Chicago, said it can be hard to put her phone and computer away, especially when it seems all of her friends and peers are on social media and her classes and personal life revolve around being online. “There are times when I’m with my friends and at dinner, I’ll realize we are all on our phones,” Kontopanos said, adding that she tries to put her phone down at those moments.
Kontopanos also unplugs consciously by sending postcards to her family and friends, making scrapbooks and junk journals, which involve repurposing everyday materials like tickets and receipts to document memories or ideas. She says going to the post office has become an activity she does with her mother back home in Kansas and includes sharing stories with the postal workers, people she would not have routinely encountered.

In the concrete jungles that define modern cities, a quiet revolution is taking root — urban microforests. These compact, dense (密集的) green spaces, often no larger than a basketball court, are emerging as powerful solutions to some of the most pressing urban problems, from air pollution to mental health crises. Unlike traditional city parks with neatly cut lawns, microforests mimic natural woodland ecosystems, packing dozens of native plant species into small areas to create thriving habitats.
The concept, pioneered by botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s, has gained global traction in recent years as cities seek sustainable development. A study by the International Society for Urban Ecology (ISUE) tracked 120 microforests across 30 cities, including Tokyo, Berlin, and Mexico City. The results were striking: microforests reduced local air temperatures by an average of 3.2 ℃ during summer heatwaves, a critical advantage as urban heat islands grow more intense due to climate change. They also absorbed 20% more carbon dioxide per square meter than traditional parks, thanks to their diverse plant layers — from tall canopy trees to low-lying shrubs.
Beyond environmental benefits, urban microforests deliver significant social value. A survey conducted by the University of Copenhagen found that residents living within 500 meters of a microforest reported 15% lower stress levels and 22% higher subjective well-being compared to those without access to such spaces. “The biodiversity of microforests creates a sensory experience — birdsong, fragrant flowers, rustling leaves — that connects people to nature in a way that manicured (修剪整齐的) parks rarely do, ” explains Dr. Lena Olsen, lead researcher of the study.
However, the expansion of urban microforests faces practical challenges. Land scarcity in city centers means many projects must repurpose underused spaces — abandoned lots, rooftop areas, or even highway medians. Maintenance is another issue: while mature microforests are self-sustaining, young ones require regular care to prevent invasive species from overtaking native plants.
As cities continue to grow, the role of urban microforests will only become more vital. They prove that even small pockets of nature can make a big difference, turning concrete spaces into vibrant, life-sustaining ecosystems. For urban planners and residents alike, microforests offer a hopeful, actionable path toward greener, healthier cities.
12. What fundamentally distinguishes microforests from traditional parks?
A. More green spaces.
B. Better temperature reduction.
C Dense native plant ecosystems.
D. Professional maintenance needs.
13. What can be learned about the ISUE study?
A. It focused specifically on carbon absorption.
B. It was limited to temperate climate regions.
C. It collected data mainly through local surveys.
D. It analyzed data from multiple urban locations.
14. Why are microforests more effective in boosting people’s well-being?
A. They offer enhanced recreational facilities.
B. They are situated in central urban locations.
C. They employ professional ecological management.
D. They build a closer connection between people and nature.
15. What is the author’s overall viewpoint?
A. Microforests can replace traditional parks.
B. Microforests are impractical despite their benefits.
C. Microforests are transformative despite challenges.
D. Microforests have been popular around the world.

Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use two or more languages competently in daily communication, work, study, or even thinking. Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably. ____16____
Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism. Seas of papers have explored the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond opening conversational doors, it’s said to improve executive function — the ability to ignore distractions, plan tasks, and update beliefs. It’s also linked to a later onset of dementia (痴呆), on average. Here is the good news. ____17____ A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn’t boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a multilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. ____18____
But there are many massive variables in such studies. ____19____ Besides, studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages from speaking several languages.
____20____ According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.
A. The effects vary.
B. Age also matters.
C. But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.
D. This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.
E. It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.
F. Some researchers argue that the observed advantages might be temporary and fade over time.
G. For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.

47. 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。
Getting home from Eastern Europe was a long trip, but my friends and I wanted to enjoy our three-hour stop in Paris. We didn’t have time to leave the airport, so Mark, John and I chose a nice airport restaurant. I decided to take a photo of the menu to remember it. I reached into my backpack for my camera, expecting to feel my passport too. I always kept it close during our two-week English teaching trip. I found my camera, but where was my passport? I started to panic. I opened my backpack wide and checked every pocket. It was gone. “My passport is missing,” I told Mark and John.
John asked, “Do you remember when you last had it?” I thought hard: We flew from Minsk to Paris. I definitely had it when we landed. I took it out several times at checkpoints. My friends were taller and walked faster, so I often hurried to keep up. I remembered putting my passport back quickly. I thought to myself, “Did it fall out then? How could I fly to San Francisco without it?”
I stood up. “I need to go back the way we came,” I said. I walked through the busy airport to the first checkpoint we passed earlier. Using my basic French, I asked an airport worker if anyone found an American passport. “No, madam,” he said. He told me to ask at the security desk, but I got lost. I asked several people, but no one could tell me where the security desk was. I felt hopeless.
Time was running out. Each passing minute made my stomach tighten with anxiety, but I couldn’t give up. Then, I thought about the seats where we first sat when we arrived at this terminal (航站楼). Maybe I dropped it there. A small spark of hope cut through my worry. It was my last but best idea. I hurried back to that area. The seats were mostly empty, except for a middle-aged man sitting next to where I had been. He was looking around, holding something in his hand.
