Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)

Encouraging bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages equally well, at home can have many benefits on mental processes of understanding, which may be particularly helpful to kids with autism (孤独症), a new research indicates.
限时规范
训练(6)
返回
‹#›
The new research explored the role of bilingualism in 112 children, including children with typical development and children with autism, between the ages of 7 to 12 years old.Overall, they found that children who spoke two or more languages often had stronger executive (执行) functioning skills.This means they are able to control the sudden desire and to switch between different tasks more easily than children who only speak one language.
Published in the journal Autism Research, the results are significant because executive functioning skills are a key challenge for children with autism, but are important for all kids to develop in school and later in the workplace.While executive function skills develop and improve across the whole life, individuals with autism often struggle with executive functioning, affecting their ability to manage daily tasks and adapt to new situations.
返回
‹#›
An idea called joint activation from the field of neuroscience (神经科学) can help explain the results.Prior research suggests that the bilingual brain has two languages constantly active and competing.As a result, the daily experience of shifting between these languages is associated with enhanced executive control.“If you have to deal with two languages, you have to control one intentionally in order to use the other.That's the idea, that restriction or the ability to stop you from doing something, might be strengthened by knowing two languages,” says Lucina Uddin, now a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
返回
‹#›
“This will surely bring a sense of relief to many of our families living with loved ones with autism.But maybe it takes time to translate that to families,” says Lynn Perry, an associate professor at the University of Miami.Perry intends to conduct further research with preschool children to see if bilingualism also has an impact on kids' interpersonal skills, which are crucial for children's social and mental development.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,在家中鼓励掌握双语对理解的心理过程有许多好处,这可能对患有孤独症的孩子特别有帮助。

1.What can be learned about executive functioning skills?( )
A.They help develop children's bilingualism.
B.They contribute to children's sudden desire.
C.They are hard to obtain for kids with autism.
D.They are formed between the ages of 7 to 12.
解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Published in the journal Autism Research, the results are significant because executive functioning skills are a key challenge for children with autism, but are important for all kids to develop in school and later in the workplace.”可知,执行功能技能对于孤独症儿童来说是难以获得的,这对他们来说是一个关键挑战。故选C。
C

2.How does the idea “joint activation” work?( )
A.By activating the prior memory.
B.By switching to other learning tasks.
C.By preventing language competitions.
D.By enhancing restriction on one language.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,“联合激活”的概念是通过增强对一种语言的限制来起作用的。当你要使用一种语言时,得有意控制另一种语言。故选D。

解析:D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Perry intends to conduct further research with preschool children to see if bilingualism also has an impact on kids' interpersonal skills, which are crucial for children's social and mental development.”可知,后续的研究可能会集中在双语对孩子社交互动的影响上。故选D。

(2026·厦门检测)When John Dougill first came to Japan 30 years ago, he noticed a strange phrase adorning(装饰) his neighborhood butcher's shop in Kyoto.Instead of “meat shop”, its sign read “flesh shop”.
Dougill assumed shop staff weren't aware of their English-language error.But when he told the owners about it, they nodded politely at him.But they didn't change the sign.
“It didn't matter if the sign said ‘flesh’ or ‘fresh’ or ‘meat’,” recalls Dougill, a professor at Ryukoku University, who has researched the use of English in Japan.“It was just there to catch people's attention.It wasn't being used to communicate, as people could see it was a meat shop from outside.”
返回
‹#›
It was Dougill's first encounter with the Japanese phenomenon of “Engrish” or “Japanglish.”
Engrish is what happens when English mistakes appear in Japanese advertising, on products like T-shirts and stationary, or on restaurant menus.
In the West, Engrish is often viewed more as an example of everyday racism(种族主义) intended to laugh at non-native English speakers.It's also not wholly a Japanese phenomenon.There's “Konglish” in Korea, “Singlish” in Singapore and “Chinglish” in China—all referring to the different ways in which locals have repurposed English.
返回
‹#›
In Japan, Engrish falls into two categories: Decorative English is used to create a mood and is purely targeted at Japanese people, while Communicative English is meant to provide instructions to foreigners but is often grammatically incorrect or misspelled.
According to the website engrish.com—which showcases examples of Engrish across the world—English in Japan is used as a design element in products and advertising to give them a modern look and feel (or just to “look cool”).It's not used to communicate a specific message, but rather a mood.That's particular to Japanese culture, where meanings are often not clear but inferred.
返回
‹#›
“There is often no attempt to try to get Engrish right, nor do the vast majority of the Japanese population ever attempt to read the English design element in question,” the website states.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。中国有中式英文,日本有日式英文。日式英文究竟在日本社会起着什么样的作用呢?
返回
‹#›
5.Why did the owners refuse to change the sign according to Dougill?
( )
A.They didn't think it's wrong.
B.They didn't take it seriously.
C.It would bring economic loss.
D.It would cause inconvenience.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Dougill认为,改不改标牌上的错误关系不大,因为英文单词只是用来吸引人们注意的,并不有效传递信息。故B项正确。
B
返回
‹#›
6.What do we learn about Engrish?( )
A.It's English spoken by Asians.
B.It's English spoken by Japanese.
C.It's popular in Western countries.
D.It's made fun of by native speakers.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第六段可知,Engrish为英语为母语国家的人们提供一种取笑他人的方式。故D项正确。

1.解析:is 考查时态及主谓一致。本句主语为The Mandarin Excellence Program,陈述一个现存的客观事实,因此用系动词is。
2.解析:delivered 考查非谓语动词。这里填入delivered与前面的funded并列,共同作后置定语,修饰前面的名词短语a language program。deliver意为“开展;实施”。
3.解析:that/which 考查定语从句。这里由关系代词that或which引导一个定语从句,修饰先行词initiatives。
4.解析:influential 考查形容词。本空前的the most暗示这里应该填入一个形容词,形容词influential后面省略了名词initiatives。
返回
‹#›
5.解析:was launched 考查时态及语态。本句主语为The program,时间状语为in 2016,表达被动概念,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
6.解析:an 考查冠词。an average of 是一个常见搭配,意为“平均为……”。
7.解析:with 考查介词。这里是一个由“with+名词+动词-ing形式”构成的with复合结构。
8.解析:It 考查代词。这里代词It作形式主语,后面that引导的从句作真正主语。
返回
‹#›
9.解析:learners 考查名词复数。本句主语为they,因此这里应该用可数名词的复数形式。
10.解析:approaching 考查非谓语动词。本句中动词approach与其逻辑主语MEP graduates之间是主动关系,因此用动词-ing形式作状语。

The amazing performance of humanoid robots at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala has sparked heated debate: will robots replace humans?
While they excel at repetitive tasks and data analysis, they lack human creativity, empathy, critical thinking,and ethical judgment—the core of progress.Therefore, fear is not the answer.
So, what should we do? The answer lies not in resistance, but in adaptation and application.We should focus on what makes us uniquely human.The key is to embrace lifelong learning, nurture our innovative spirit, and develop skills robots cannot replicate.By doing so, we can ensure a future where advanced technology serves as a powerful partner, enhancing human potential rather than replacing it.

The waiting room was crammed with little kids and their parents,but I knew this was something I needed to start doing.For me.
When my name was called,I entered the small room,wiping the sweat from my palms.
“Oh!” the young woman greeted me.“I wasn't expecting to see any,uh...adults!”

When my friends turned fifty,they did exciting things to celebrate,like a trip to the sunny south,a fancy dinner or a new hairdo.
I decided to learn to play the cello.
I had heard that learning a musical instrument boosts your brainpower,so in honour of my aging,I went to a music store.Never having played strings before,I rented a cello to see what I thought,and it was love at first note.
When my family asked what I wanted for my fiftieth birthday,my only answer was “A cello!” They agreed to buy a cello for me.“But take some lessons!” they insisted.

I had brought my three children to the same music school for years and sat in the waiting room as they took turns learning piano,drums and guitar.I never dreamed I'd be on the other side of the door,learning a new instrument.And yet here I was.
My new cello teacher was as young as my daughter,and as she handed me the cello music,she inquired as to how long I'd been playing.“I just started,” I mumbled.
“I guess we'll start you off like my other students,” she said,handing me a book full of photos of four-year-old cellists.
Playing the cello is very difficult.I often compare it to driving in heavy traffic in the middle of a big city.

However,I fell in love with playing the cello and found great pleasure in it.As I played my cello,I couldn't think about any of the things that were bothering me.Stresses at work,doctor visits,and money worries disappeared as I played.I had to be so extremely focused that I couldn't think about anything else.As a matter of fact,now the cello has become a part of my life and I won't let a day pass without playing the cello.

Recently,I took part in an art festival in the community and played on the stage.Never had I played the cello in front of a large audience,so my palms were sweaty and my heart beat faster at the beginning.Then I took deep breaths,tried to keep calm,and performed at my best.To my surprise,people applauded at the end and a sense of achievement overwhelmed me.It's true that you never know what you can do until you try.
