Everyone in the organization knows that even the smallest actions can make a big difference. Mission (任务) of the Month It’s fun to find creative ways to raise money for charity. From bake sales and lemonade stands to car washes and food delivery, there are lots of ways to offer support. This month, we’re looking to feature Service Stars who are raising funds to promote awareness of biodiversity. Could you be one of these kids? You don’t have to gather a huge sum of money. Need Inspiration? Organize a coin drive at your school or a local business. How will you get the word out? Offer a service, such as walking pets and moving snow, in return for a donation. What jobs do people need to be done in your area? If someone wants to give you a gift, ask them to donate it instead. What will you choose? Set aside some of every dollar you receive or earn to donate. How much can you save? Host a lemonade stand or a bake sale to raise funds. What else can you make and sell? Stars Shine Brighter Together When kids work together, they can achieve great things. This month’s group idea is to organize a craft (手工) sale. Ask friends and classmates to use their talents to make crafts. Think about where you’ll sell them. To which charity will you donate the money? If you need help getting started, talk to an adult or pair up with a friend to find an idea that feels right for you. Click HERE and tell us about it! 1. What is the purpose of the organization this month? A. To help save nature. B. To work in nursing houses. C. To promote friendship. D. To teach about different animals. 2. How can kids collect money for the current project? A. By asking parents for pocket money. B. By selling stuff they make. C. By hosting a party. D. By participating in sports. 3. Where can you likely read the text? A. On the Internet. B. In a magazine. C. In a newspaper. D. In a textbook. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为慈善组织募捐的相关事宜，分享了一些筹钱的建议。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mission (任务) of the Month中的“This month, we’re looking to feature Service Stars who are raising funds to promote awareness of biodiversity.”（本月，我们正在寻找服务之星，他们正在筹集资金，以提高人们对生物多样性的认识。）可知，本月项目的主要意图是提高人们对生物多样性的认识，由此可推知，组织的最终目的是帮助拯救自然。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stars Shine Brighter Together中“Ask friends and classmates to use their talents to make crafts. Think about where you’ll sell them. To which charity will you donate the money?”（让朋友和同学发挥他们的才能制作工艺品。想想你会把它们卖到哪里。你会把钱捐给哪个慈善机构？）可知，孩子们通过出售他们制造的东西来为当前的项目筹集资金。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“Click HERE and tell us about it!”（点击这里告诉我们！）由此可推知，这篇文章可能出现在互联网上。故选A项。 B From cottages (小屋) surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.” Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother. Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.” My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. 4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu? A. Adventurous. B. Luxurious. C. Ordinary. D. Boring. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book. C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7. What is the purpose of this text? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style. C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国作家杰拉尔德·达雷尔所著的《我的家人和其他动物》一书，包括书中对希腊科孚岛优美风光的描写、其古怪家庭的有趣故事、该书的写作特色，并向读者推荐这本书。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“From cottages (小屋) surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in  My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. (从被优美花园环绕的小屋，到在沙滩上探索、在充满野生动物的深林中度过的日子，英国作家杰拉尔德·达雷尔在《我的家人及其他动物》一书中生动地记述了他1930年代在希腊科孚岛与家人共度的时光。)”以及第三段中对其家人的描述“imaginative elder brother Larry (富有想象力的哥哥拉里)、lovestruck sister Margo (坠入爱河的姐姐玛戈)、sporty brother Leslie (爱运动的哥哥莱斯利)”可知，达雷尔在科孚岛的生活充满了探索和各种趣事，是充满冒险精神的。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“was intended to be a nostalgic account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family (本打算写一部关于自然历史的怀旧之作，但在前几页，我犯了一个错误——介绍了我的家人)”可知，达雷尔本意是写自然历史，但一写起来就忍不住介绍了自己那古怪的一家人，结果家人的故事喧宾夺主，成了书的主要内容。所以“made the mistake of introducing my family”意思是他忍不住介绍了家人，并非真正的“错误”。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. (达雷尔对细节的关注使这本书如此引人入胜，岛上的每一个景象、声音和气味都栩栩如生。)”以及第五段“My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. (《我的家人和其他动物》很难归类，它一部分是游记，一部分是自传，一部分是自然史，一部分是喜剧，贯穿其中的描写性语言有时几乎将其提升到诗歌的高度。)”可知，这两段主要讲的是这本书的写作特色。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章介绍了《我的家人和其他动物》这本书的内容、写作特色，并在最后一段中明确指出“it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. (对于任何正在经历人生艰难时期的成年人或大龄青少年来说，这是完美的文学逃避之作。)”，由此可知，本文的目的是向读者推荐这本书。 C Searching online has many educational benefits. But spending more time online does not mean better online skills. Instead, a student’s ability to successfully search online increases with guidance and clear instruction. Young people often think they are already skilled searchers. Their teachers and parents often think so too. This belief means much classroom practice centers on searching to learn, hardly on learning to search. Many teachers don’t teach students how to search online. Instead, students often teach themselves. This does not result in students learning the skills they need. For six years, I studied how young Australians use search engines. Both school students and home-schoolers showed some characteristics (特点) of online searching that aren’t beneficial. For example, both groups spent greater time on irrelevant (不相关的) websites than relevant ones and stopped searches before finding their needed information. Search engines offer endless educational chances, but I find many students typically only search for isolated (孤立) facts, and move on. In one observation, a home-school family type “How many endangered Sumatran Tigers are there” into Google. They enter a single website where they read a single sentence. They write this “answer” down and they begin the next topic—growing seeds. The practice means people are no better off than they were 40 years ago with a print encyclopedia (百科全书). Why not use different keywords, sites and search tabs? The student could have learned much more. The other thing young people should keep in mind to get the full benefits of searching online is to avoid fast search. All too often we believe search can be a fast process. The home-school families in my study spent 90 seconds or less, viewing each website and searched a new topic every four minutes. But searching so quickly can mean students don’t write useful search keywords or get the information they need. 8. What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 1? A. The importance of teaching online searching skills. B. The educational benefits of searching online. C. The classroom practice centering on learning to search. D. The advantage of teaching oneself about searching online. 9. What did the author’s study find about Australian students? A. They benefited most from using online information. B. They spent little time on irrelevant websites. C. They were usually experienced in using search engines. D. They were often unable to find the needed search results. 10. Why does the author mention the home-school family? A. To compare some popular online searching skills. B. To show the important role of a print encyclopedia. C. To give an example of only searching for isolated facts. D. To explain a basic searching skill used by many students. 11. What is the author’s advice for students in the last paragraph? A. Slow down when searching online. B. Try searching more new topics online. C. Practice more to better searching skills. D. Change search keywords quickly if possible. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了在线搜索的相关内容，许多学生不能很有效地搜索，他们需要一些系统的指导。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Searching online has many educational benefits.”（网上搜索有很多教育上的好处。）以及“But spending more time online does not mean better online skills. Instead, a student’s ability to successfully search online increases with guidance and clear instruction.”（但是花更多的时间上网并不意味着更好的上网技能。相反，通过明确清晰的指导，学生的网上搜索能力会得到提高。）和“Many teachers don’t teach students how to search online.”（许多老师不教学生如何在线搜索。）可知，文章第一段指出许多学生不能很有效地搜索，老师也不教，但老师的指导会使学生的网上搜索得到提高，可得出第一段主要讲解的是教授网上搜索技巧的重要性。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For six years, I studied how young Australians use search engines. Both school students and home-schoolers showed some characteristics of online searching that aren’t beneficial. For example, both groups spent greater time on irrelevant websites than relevant ones and stopped searches before finding their needed information.”（六年以来，我一直在研究澳大利亚年轻人如何使用搜索引擎。无论是在校学生还是在家学习的学生，都表现出了一些不利于在线学习的特点。例如，两组人在不相关网站上花费的时间都比相关网站多，并且在找到所需信息之前都停止了搜索。）可知他们经常找不到需要的搜索结果。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Search engines offer endless educational chances, but I find many students typically only search for isolated facts, and move on.”（搜索引擎提供了无穷无尽的教育机会，但我发现许多学生通常只搜索孤立的事实，然后继续前进。）可知作者提到了“家庭—学校家庭”来举例说明学生只寻找孤立的事实。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The other thing young people should keep in mind to get the full benefits of searching online is to avoid fast search.”（为了充分利用网络搜索的好处，年轻人应该记住的另一件事是避免快速搜索。）可知作者在最后一段给学生的建议是放慢上网搜索的速度。故选A。 D Bilinguals (能说两种语言的人) are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth. Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language. Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function (执行功能) — a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks. Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and canceling out things that take their attention away. Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that — the equivalent (相同的) of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies. “The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds. 12. What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s? A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience. C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth. 13. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok? A. Similar language patterns. B. Cognitive function. C. Executive function. D. Good study habits. 14. What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism? A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective. 15. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Are bilinguals really smarter? B. Should kids learn another language? C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage? D. What factors affect language learning? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述研究表明，双语者并不比单语者更聪明，但双语者的大脑在执行功能方面有所不同，这使他们在多任务处理和抗干扰方面表现更好。同时，文章也讨论了双语学习的优势、语言相似性的作用以及双语可能带来的不足。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth. (直到20世纪70年代，大多数教育工作者还认为同时学习两种语言会让孩子感到困惑，并减缓他们的认知发展。)”可知，在20世纪70年代之前，大多数教育工作者认为双语学习对孩子来说可能是一种糟糕的体验。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. (但Bialystok认为，认知功能对语言学习者的影响不如语言结构和词汇之间的相似性大。“在学习这些模式时，你可以在学习新语言时获得一点便利，”她说。)”可知，Bialystok认为相似的语言模式能让学习新语言变得容易。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function (执行功能) (她坚信双语者并不比单语者更聪明，但双语者的大脑在执行功能的使用上有所不同)”和第四段“Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. (Bialystok补充说，与媒体报道相反，执行功能并不等同于智力。)”以及最后一段“The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends (双语最大的优势就像拥有很棒的国际朋友一样)”可知，Bialystok对双语学习的态度是客观的、就事论事的。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Bilinguals (能说两种语言的人) are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. (科学说双语者更聪明。但这个想法相对较新。)”以及全文围绕双语者是否真的更聪明展开讨论，Bialystok的研究表明双语者并不更聪明，但执行功能不同使他们看起来更聪明。 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。 Although awkward (令人尴尬的) conversations may seem difficult, they can be good opportunities to practice making small talk,____16____.

I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs. My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing thing into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families to visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.” I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only could I play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes. My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming including many old classics. When the exciting day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room. Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano? I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, “This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous.” Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance. Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance in the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’ m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展为线索。讲述了作者作为一个热爱音乐的孩子，为年度音乐演奏会认真准备了一些钢琴曲。但演奏会取消了。这让她非常失望。随后，她的妈妈建议她去养老院为老人们演奏，作者觉得这是一个好注意，因此还准备了更多曲子。她去的那一天有点紧张，但受到了养老院负责人的热情接待，在钢琴出故障时，得到了热情地帮助，在演奏好时更是收获了掌声。这次经历让作者收获比演奏会更多的东西。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我坐在长椅上时，我按下钢琴上的一个键，惊讶地听到没有声音。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现钢琴没有声音时的紧张和尴尬，以及养老院老人们对她的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“紧张情绪消失了，我开始享受与老人的表演。”可知，第二段可描写作者的钢琴表演，以及表演完后的感悟。 2.续写线索：为参加年度音乐演奏会认真准备——得知演奏会取消很失望——欣然接受妈妈提出的去养老院为老人演奏的建议——受到热情接待——钢琴出故障——老人们出手相助——享受演奏，深有感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.深呼吸：took a deep breath/ breathed deeply ②.开始：commenced/started ③.拒绝：shake his head/decline/refuse politely 情绪类 ①.尴尬地：with embarrassment/embarrassedly ②.紧张的：nervous/on pins and needles/on edge 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B From cottages (小屋) surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.” Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother. Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.” My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. 4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu? A. Adventurous. B. Luxurious. C. Ordinary. D. Boring. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book. C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7. What is the purpose of this text? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style. C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place. C Searching online has many educational benefits. But spending more time online does not mean better online skills. Instead, a student’s ability to successfully search online increases with guidance and clear instruction. Young people often think they are already skilled searchers. Their teachers and parents often think so too. This belief means much classroom practice centers on searching to learn, hardly on learning to search. Many teachers don’t teach students how to search online. Instead, students often teach themselves. This does not result in students learning the skills they need. For six years, I studied how young Australians use search engines. Both school students and home-schoolers showed some characteristics (特点) of online searching that aren’t beneficial. For example, both groups spent greater time on irrelevant (不相关的) websites than relevant ones and stopped searches before finding their needed information. Search engines offer endless educational chances, but I find many students typically only search for isolated (孤立) facts, and move on. In one observation, a home-school family type “How many endangered Sumatran Tigers are there” into Google. They enter a single website where they read a single sentence. They write this “answer” down and they begin the next topic—growing seeds. The practice means people are no better off than they were 40 years ago with a print encyclopedia (百科全书). Why not use different keywords, sites and search tabs? The student could have learned much more. The other thing young people should keep in mind to get the full benefits of searching online is to avoid fast search. All too often we believe search can be a fast process. The home-school families in my study spent 90 seconds or less, viewing each website and searched a new topic every four minutes. But searching so quickly can mean students don’t write useful search keywords or get the information they need. 8. What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 1? A. The importance of teaching online searching skills. B. The educational benefits of searching online. C. The classroom practice centering on learning to search. D. The advantage of teaching oneself about searching online. 9. What did the author’s study find about Australian students? A. They benefited most from using online information. B. They spent little time on irrelevant websites. C. They were usually experienced in using search engines. D. They were often unable to find the needed search results. 10. Why does the author mention the home-school family? A. To compare some popular online searching skills. B. To show the important role of a print encyclopedia. C. To give an example of only searching for isolated facts. D. To explain a basic searching skill used by many students. 11. What is the author’s advice for students in the last paragraph? A. Slow down when searching online. B. Try searching more new topics online. C. Practice more to better searching skills. D. Change search keywords quickly if possible. D Bilinguals (能说两种语言的人) are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth. Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language. Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function (执行功能) — a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks. Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and canceling out things that take their attention away. Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that — the equivalent (相同的) of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies. “The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds. 12. What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s? A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience. C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth. 13. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok? A. Similar language patterns. B. Cognitive function. C. Executive function. D. Good study habits. 14. What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism? A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective. 15. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Are bilinguals really smarter? B. Should kids learn another language? C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage? D. What factors affect language learning? 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。 Although awkward (令人尴尬的) conversations may seem difficult, they can be good opportunities to practice making small talk,____16____.

I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs. My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing thing into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families to visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.” I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only could I play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes. My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming including many old classics. When the exciting day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room. Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
