Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Marilynn Moe,80,is a resident of the Homestead,a senior-living and care community in Rochester,Minnesota,managed by Mark.
Mark fell for Marilynn's charm in 2012,the year he came to interview for the job.He was standing in the hallway,hoping he didn't look as nervous as he felt,when a stylishly dressed woman walked right up to him.“Good morning,”she said.“I'm Marilynn.I hope everything works out for you.”She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn't help but smile back,nerves forgotten.
He got the job,and it didn't take long for him to realize what a treasure Marilynn was.She'd arrived herself only two years before, moving from Fargo.It was a huge change.She loved teaching,seeing her students' skills and confidence grow.Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead?
“I could have just sat in my apartment,”she says,“but I wasn't going to do that.”
Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn't know much about their neighbors,so she started a monthly newcomers' get-together.One by one they'd go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker.
She went to the monthly women's breakfast.To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up.She took over,each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest,trips they'd taken,former careers,even more weighty topics.She personally invited women to attend.It wasn't long before the room was packed.
She gave out birthday cards,using the Homestead's monthly newsletter to get the dates.She played the piano for church services and special occasions.
Marilynn didn't notice anything different about the Homestead,but others did.“These changes you're making are great,”the residents said to Mark.“Keep it up.”Mark knew he wasn't the one who deserved the credit.Marilynn wasn't trying to become a noticeable figure.She cared deeply about the people around her,doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了80岁的玛丽莲入住养老社区后默默奉献,积极组织活动、关心他人,给社区带来诸多积极改变的故事。
1.How did Mark feel after meeting Marilynn in the hallway?
A.Amused. B.Worried.
C.Astonished. D.Relieved.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn't help but smile back,nerves forgotten .”可知,马克在走廊遇见玛丽莲后忘记了紧张,回以微笑,所以他觉得如释重负。故选D。
2.What does the underlined word“fulfilling”mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Spiritually satisfying.
B.Truly comforting.
C.Extremely interesting.
D.Incredibly challenging.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“She loved teaching,seeing her students' skills and confidence grow.”可知,她以前喜欢教书,看着学生的技能和信心增长;再根据画线词所在句“她在Homestead能找到(像以前教书时那样)让她fulfilling的事情吗?”并结合选项可推断,画线词的意思是“心满意足的”,与A项“精神上满足的”意思接近。故选A。
3.Why did Marilynn take over organizing the women's breakfast?
A.To improve its quality.
B.To promote healthy eating.
C.To make it more engaging.
D.To show her personal power.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第六段中的“She went to the monthly women's breakfast.To her disappointment,only three or four others showed up.She took over...”和“It wasn't long before the room was packed.”可知,玛丽莲接管每月一次的妇女早餐会的组织工作之前,只有三四个人参加,她接管之后做了很多工作,不久之后参加的人就挤满了房间。由此可推断, 玛丽莲接管每月一次的妇女早餐会的组织工作是为了吸引更多的人参与进来。故选C。
4.What can be inferred about Marilynn's contributions to the community?
A.They go unrecognised by Mark.
B.They come from her caring nature.
C.They are used to gain her influence.
D.They are far from Mark's expectations.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She cared deeply about the people around her,doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition.”可知,她深深地关心着周围的人,本能地这么做,并且无意寻求他人的认可。由此可推断,玛丽莲所做的贡献来源于她善良的天性。故选B。

Nadine Grimm's A Grammar of Gyeli opens with a moving quote honoring ancestors:“For our ancestors who have left us—may we keep their wisdom.”This sets the tone for her study of the Gyeli language in Ngòló,a small village in southern Cameroon,rich in culture and hidden knowledge.
In her prize-winning work,Grimm displays the essence of the Gyeli language,spoken by the Bagyeli people,who are sometimes called“Pygmies”.The grammatical description,which is presented in a form-to-function approach,covers all levels of language,ranging from Gyeli speech sounds to its information structure and complex sentences.
Her path to studying African languages began by chance during her Bachelor's degree in General Linguistics and French.She had an unexpected opportunity to work with a professor in Nigeria,which led to her first African language conference and started her interest in African languages.
Grimm's research includes deep fieldwork,such as recording conversations and joining in everyday activities with the Bagyeli.At first, she used assistants to communicate due to language barriers,but as her understanding grew,she began talking directly with the speakers.This method differs from traditional ones,focusing on real language use rather than simple word-for-word translations.
The importance of reference grammars like Grimm's becomes clear in light of the global problem of disappearing languages.With 50%to 90%of the world's languages at risk,documenting languages like Gyeli is essential.“When languages die,we lose entire knowledge systems,”Grimm says.
Her work not only records the Gyeli language but also adds to the understanding of endangered Bantu languages in general.It represents one of the most comprehensive descriptions of a northwestern Bantu language.
For her efforts,Grimm was awarded Bloomfield Book Award 2023 from the Linguistic Society of America.A single Bloomfield Book award is made annually to recognize“a volume that makes an outstanding contribution of long-term value to the understanding of language and linguistics”.Grimm's work was praised for adding audio and video recordings that improve reliability in language research.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。Nadine Grimm通过深入研究喀麦隆南部Ngòló村的Gyeli语言,完成了A Grammar of Gyeli一书。她的研究对于濒危语言保护意义重大,她也因此获得美国语言学协会的奖项。

6.What do we know about the Gyeli language?
A.It is endangered.
B.It is simple in structure.

8.What contributed most to the success of Grimm's research?
A.Her work with a professor in Nigeria.
B.Her ability to learn a new language.
C.Her relationship with the Bagyeli people.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两名外国学生为保护中国方言所做的努力,他们创建了一个名为Phonemica的网站,收集并展示濒危方言的录音。
1.答案:to preserve
解析:考查非谓语动词。“difficult to do sth”是固定用法,表示“做某事有困难”,这里用不定式。故填to preserve。
2.答案:Faced
解析:考查非谓语动词。“(face) with this issue”作时间状语,face(面对)是非谓语动词,与介词with搭配,用过去分词短语faced with作状语;句首单词首字母大写。故填Faced。
3.答案:in
解析:考查介词。“fluent in”是固定短语,意为“精通,熟练掌握”。故填in。
4.答案:became
解析:考查时态。become(变成)是定语从句中谓语动词,句中描述的是过去发生的事情,用一般过去时态。故填became。
5.答案:where
解析:考查定语从句。“ recordings of the dialects in danger of dying out are collected and displayed”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词website,关系词将其代入从句中作地点状语,表示“在这个网站上”,是模糊地点,用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
6.答案:presence
解析:考查名词。提示词作表语,用名词presence,意为“存在,呈现”,不可数名词。故填presence。
7.答案:areas
解析:考查名词复数。可数名词area(地区)在句中表示“某些地区”,用复数形式areas。故填areas。
8.答案:telling
解析:考查非谓语动词。“(tell) a story in their various dialects”作后置定语,tell(讲)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语speakers之间是主动关系,现在分词表主动。故填telling。
9.答案:accessible
解析:考查形容词。“and”连接两个并列的形容词作宾语补足语,access的形容词是accessible,意为“可访问的,易获取的”。故填accessible。
