UNIT 2　Exploring English Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2026·山东临沂二模）Centuries ago， the music of the Híłzaqv language echoed across a territory of rough islands， windswept beaches and thick forests.And then， the lands now in the western reaches of Canada fell quiet.Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of extinction.Today， only seventy fluent speakers remain. In some remote communities， where they don’t have high schools， students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies， away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there. 　　Mamakwa is a Híłzaqv， who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school. Last year， he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature （议会）. More than 1，000 guests attended. “For community leaders who were there， it was very emotional for them. They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken，” he said. Mamakwa is now focusing his attention on the remaining systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land. 　　Recently， there is a cheerful sense of hope. Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity. New resources have been poured into preservation and education， including compiling （汇编） vast information from the current fluent speakers. Therefore， Híłzaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before. 　　“You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people. But our language is also growing. There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in， and the new way that we live and work and be together. That’s a good thing，” said Mamakwa. 1.What causes the collapsing Híłzaqv language in some communities today？（　　） A.The poor educational quality. B.The enclosed geographic location. C.The wars and natural disaster risks. D.The removal of children from their families. 2.What moved the community leaders in the Toronto legislature？（　　） A.Mamakwa was well treated at school. B.They heard their language spoken there. C.They were invited to the high-grade conference. D.Mamakwa became the first provincial lawmaker. 3.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？（　　） A.Efforts of current fluent speakers. B.Positive changes to the Híłzaqv culture. C.Cultural influences on kids’ growth. D.Development of the Híłzaqv language. 4.Which of the following might Mamakwa agree with？（　　） A.Language should be dynamic. B.Language must be standardized. C.Language is vital to national identity. D.Language bridges the gap between people. B 　　（2026·安徽芜湖二模）Lots of activities are linked to better brain health in old age. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially beneficial by being intellectually stimulating. In a landmark paper， researchers found that dementia （痴呆） patients who were bilingual （双语的） developed symptoms four years later， on average， than those who weren’t. “We use language in all aspects of daily life， so a bilingual brain is constantly working，” said Mark Antoniou， an associate professor at Western Sydney University. 　　However， despite the proven benefits of language learning for brain health， the actual impact of learning a new language later in life on cognitive （认知的） abilities is still a subject of ongoing research with mixed findings. Research by Dr. Antoniou and his colleagues found that while Chinese adults aged 60 and older improved on cognition tests after a six-month language learning program， people who played games like crossword puzzles did as well. Another small study found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn’t see any change in their cognition scores， but those who didn’t take the lessons saw their scores decline. Two recent studies found virtually no difference in cognitive performance after people took part in language-learning programs. 　　The scientists who conducted those studies offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers， who may have already been at peak performance for their age， making it hard to see any improvements. Another is about the language programmes. “The studies looking into the issue have used language lessons that were very different in their length，” said Judith Grossman， a researcher. Some studies involved teaching participants for six months， while others for just one very intense week. 　　To Dr. Antoniou， the findings are not entirely surprising. “No one would say that learning a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life，” he said. “Therefore， it’s ideal to get the ball rolling in childhood to maximize its ability to improve cognitive function throughout life.” 5.How does speaking various languages offer benefits？（　　） A.By keeping the brain active. B.By relieving mental symptoms. C.By improving one’s intelligence. D.By increasing language fluency. 6.What do the studies show about language learning in paragraph 2？（　　） A.It doesn’t show consistent cognitive improvement. B.It is more effective than playing crossword puzzles. C.It prevents the decline of old people’s mental health. D.It fails to bring any cognitive benefit to older Italians. 7.Why did the results in some language-learning studies turn out disappointing？（　　） A.Researchers used outdated teaching materials. B.Volunteers were already at their age’s cognitive peak. C.The language courses focused on irrelevant vocabulary. D.Participants lacked motivation to learn a new language. 8.What might be Antoniou’s suggestion？（　　） A.Examining scientific findings critically. B.Finding more ways to enhance cognition. C.Studying a new language from an early age. D.Learning essential skills throughout childhood. Ⅱ.完形填空 　　（2026·江西上饶二模）I teach at a university.

A　根据下文so I asked可知，作者不知道Venmo的意思。 18.B　根据下文were happy to explain it to me可知，学生们乐意给作者解释，说明学生们很友好。 19.C　结合上文学生给作者解释Venmo的意思可知，作者作为回应，通常会点头表示感谢和理解。 20.D　根据下文中but可知，前面表达的是不反对改变，与下文“感到不舒服”构成转折关系。 21.A　根据下文I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.可知，如果时间间隔久一点，作者就跟不上语言的变化，说明是语言变化的速度让作者感到吃力。 22.C　根据上文awaken from可知，作者假设自己从沉睡中醒来。 23.B　根据上文和下文to know what they’re talking about可知，作者去询问Venmo的意思等行为，体现出作者有了解学生话语的欲望。 Ⅲ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章系统阐述了中国烹饪的特点、历史及主要地域菜系。 24.reflection　考查词形转换。不定冠词a后接可数名词单数。故填reflection。 25.centuries　考查名词复数。century为可数名词，而这里应用复数形式，泛指“多个世纪”。故填centuries。 26.that/which　考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，先行词styles指物，在定语从句中作主语，故填that/which。 27.on　考查介词。emphasis on意为“对……的强调”。故填on。 28.a　考查冠词。style为可数名词，此处泛指“一种”，用不定冠词。故填a。 29.steamed　考查非谓语动词。fish与steam为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作定语，表示“被蒸的”。故填steamed。 30.is noted　考查时态和主谓一致。be noted for为固定搭配，意为“以……闻名”，且描述客观事实用一般现在时。故填is noted。 31.to taste　考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth表示“选择做某事”，为固定结构，故填to taste。 32.juicy　考查词形转换。修饰名词roasted meats用形容词，表“多汁的”。故填juicy。 33.wanting　考查非谓语动词。leave sb doing sth为固定结构，意为“让某人一直做某事”。故填wanting。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
