W: No. In Thailand, it means you’re making fun of someone. What about in your country, in America?
M: In America, it is a sign of agreement. Do you know any other meanings of gestures in different countries?
W: Yes, they are really important during traveling abroad. The OK gesture means money in Japan. It looks rude in Brazil and Germany. In France, it means figure “zero”.
M: That’s really surprising. Once I read in a newspaper, it means disagreement if you nod your head. When you shake your head, it means agreement with you.
W: That’s weird. Have you ever heard that students aren’t allowed to answer questions unless they reach out their forefingers?
M: It’s unbelievable. It makes me confused.

M: Yeah. Do you have trouble with pronunciation, or anything else?
W: In fact, I listen to tapes and read Russian aloud every morning, so I think my pronunciation is not bad. Besides, I’m good at memorizing the words, so my vocabulary is also good. The problem is that I really don’t understand the use of grammar.
M: It is essential for beginners to lay a solid foundation. You should do more grammar exercises and give yourself time for reflection. Practice makes perfect.

M: Why do you think Spanish is easier than the others? I found some of the words hard to pronounce.
W: It’s because Spanish is a Latin language, just like Italian and English. Between the two languages I know, I can figure out what each Spanish word means because they are so similar.
M: I wish I had your talent. I am bad at any language other than English.
W: I heard that if you want to learn a language faster, you should go to the country where it is spoken. That’s why the senior Spanish class took a trip to Spain during the summer. I hope our class will travel there next summer.

【知识点】语言学习策略
【原文】
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this beginner course for Italian learning. My name is Melissa. I majored in Italian at university, and since graduation, I have continued to study and teach the language here. I know we have learners from different backgrounds, so there is no need to compare your progress with that of others. What matters most is your weekly attendance. Missing a single lesson can really slow you down. In our study, the textbook is the main tool, but there are other helpful ways, like using language apps or joining online groups. Before you focus on vocabulary and grammar, I must stress the importance of pronunciation. A wide vocabulary is less useful if you can’t pronounce the words correctly. Therefore, learning pronunciation is the first step, especially since Italian is such a beautiful language. Now, let’s begin our lesson.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

My Year Abroad
This month in Travellers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.
Mariko Okada — Tokyo
My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.
Carla Fonseca — Rio de Janeiro
I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!
Alvin Chen — Hong Kong
Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week — with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!
21.Why did the three teenagers go abroad?
A.To have a holiday. B.To visit friends. C.To study English. D.To find a job.
22.Who didn’t really enjoy the stay in a foreign country very much?
A.Carla. B.Mariko. C.Alvin. D.Carla’s roommate
23.Travellers Corner is most probably ____.
A.a sports club newsletter B.a science documentary
C.a news website D.a travel magazine
【答案】21.C 22.A 23.D
【知识点】语言学习经历、应用文
【导语】本文为应用文,主要介绍了三个青少年在国外的学习经历。
【详解】21.推理判断题。根据Mariko Okada—Tokyo部分“So I got lots of speaking practice.(因此,我有了大量的口语练习机会。)”,Carla Fonseca—Rio de Janeiro部分“I spent last year studying English in London.(去年我一直在伦敦学习英语。)”和Alvin Chen—Hong Kong部分“I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week — with lots of homework.(我每周五天每天都要上六小时的英语课,而且还有大量的作业。)”可知,这三个人都是去国外学英语。故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据Carla Fonseca—Rio de Janeiro部分“I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats.(我很想念我的家人,也特别想念我的两只猫咪。)”可知,Carla不太喜欢在国外的这段生活。故选A。
23.推理判断题。根据第一段“This month in Travellers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.(本月的Travellers Corner中有三位青少年在国外一年的交流项目中的经历。)”可知,Travelers Corner可能是一本关于旅行的杂志。故选D。
B
Some polyglots (通晓多种语言的人), who can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Giuseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof that anyone can try to be one.
As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realized he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice. Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun.
Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. “Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says. “Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. ‘Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural worldview,’ says Tim. ‘You can translate words easily, but you can’t quite translate meaning.’ Or, as Nelson Mandela said, ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.’”
24.What helped Tim understand Hebrew at first?
A.Watching movies.
B.Talking to friends.
C.Using a dictionary.
D.Taking online courses.
25.How is Tim different from historical polyglots mentioned?
A.He uses modern technology to learn.
B.He speaks fewer languages than they do.
C.He learns languages only at school.
D.He doesn’t care about grammar rules.
26.What can be inferred from Mandela’s quote at the end?
A.Language affects emotional connection.
B.Everyone should learn African languages.
C.Speaking well impresses other people.
D.Translation is often unnecessary.
27.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To list famous polyglots in history.
B.To show how to become a linguist.
C.To encourage language learning for communication.
D.To compare school language teaching and self-study.
【答案】24.C 25.A 26.A 27.C
【知识点】语言学习经历、记叙文
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一些通晓多种语言的人,并着重介绍了美国少年蒂姆·多纳(Tim Doner)如何通过多种有趣的方式学习多种语言,以及他对语言学习的看法。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realized he could put them together to make sentences.(13岁时,蒂姆开始听希伯来语说唱音乐。一天,他在字典里查单词,意识到他可以把它们组合成句子。)”可知,最初是使用字典帮助蒂姆理解希伯来语的。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice.(一天晚上,为了好玩,他上传了一段自己说阿拉伯语的视频和另一段自己说希伯来语的视频。说希伯来语和阿拉伯语的人在他的视频上写下了好评并给了他建议。)”可知,蒂姆使用现代技术学习,这是他与文中提到的历史上的通晓多种语言的人的不同之处。故选A。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Or, as Nelson Mandela said, ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart’.(或者,正如纳尔逊·曼德拉所说,‘如果你用一个人能理解的语言与他交谈,那会进入他的头脑。如果你用他的语言与他交谈,那会进入他的内心’。)”可知,从曼德拉在结尾的引语中可以推断出语言影响情感联系。故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. ‘Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,’ Tim says. ‘Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think’.(蒂姆希望每个人都能学习不止一种语言,而不仅仅是作为一门学校科目。蒂姆说:‘知道一种语言不仅仅是知道字典里的几个单词。语言是用来与人交流、了解他们的文化、理解不同的人如何思考的’。)”可知,这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励为了交流而学习语言。故选C。
C
Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers. You haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either. Yet something is already being said. This is not magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the quiet feeling that stays with every talk we have. Human beings are language-related creatures, but long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection.
Most of the emotional information we send and receive doesn’t come through what we say — it comes through how we behave. Body language is the silent symphony (交响乐) of every social interaction. Take facial expressions. Charles Darwin, in his lesser-known book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, pointed out that emotions like fear, anger, joy, and sadness are expressed similarly across cultures — and he was right. Paul Ekman’s research later showed that six basic emotions are recognized worldwide.
But the face is just the start. The rest of the body plays too. Often, your body gives away what your words are trying to hide. These signals operate below the level of conscious (有意识的) control. It’s fast. And often, more truthful than speech.
The eyes have long been called the window to the soul — and now been proven by studies. Eye contact starts a series of brain activities tied to attention, trust, and understanding. Eye contact increases connection, improves teamwork, and increases persuasion. But different cultures explain it differently — what feels honest in one culture may seem unfriendly in another.
We live in a world filled with words. Still, we must ask: what happens when we over-depend on words and ignore the unspoken? Actually, to reconnect, we must look up, lean in, watch more than we speak and listen not just to what is said, but to what is felt. When we become savvy about the mind’s secret language, we don’t just connect more. We understand more. And that understanding is the beginning of healing, of creation, of peace.
28.Why does the author give an example at the beginning?
A.To present an unusual fact.
B.To introduce the key to connection.
C.To show the role of silent language.
D.To point out weaknesses of language.
29.How do people express their feelings through body language?
A.By adding some spoken language.
B.By connecting facial and hand language.
C.By doing conscious body actions.
D.By giving uncontrolled signals.
30.What do studies find about eye contact?
A.It causes brain responses.
B.It’s necessary in teamwork.
C.It benefits cultural interaction.
D.It’s recognized worldwide.
31.What do the underlined words “savvy about” mean in paragraph 5?
A.Skilled in. B.Careful about. C.Adapted to. D.Interested in.
【答案】28.C 29.D 30.A 31.A
【知识点】说明文、体态语
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了无声交流(肢体语言和眼神交流等)在人际交往中的重要性及其作用。
【详解】28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers. You haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either. Yet something is already being said. This is not magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the quiet feeling that stays with every talk we have. Human beings are language-related creatures, but long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection.(想象一下,走进一间满是陌生人的房间。你一言未发,也未曾听闻只言片语,可有些信息已然在传递。这并非魔法,而是心灵的隐秘语言,是我们每一次交流中都萦绕其间的无声情愫。人类是依赖语言的生物,但早在你学会说话之前,你就已是无声沟通的行家。感知他人的能力,是人际联结的基石。)”以及第二段中“The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection.(感知他人的能力是人类联系的基础。)”可知,作者在开头举例是为了引出无声语言在人际交往中的角色,即它是人类联系的基础。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Often, your body gives away what your words are trying to hide. These signals operate below the level of conscious (有意识的) control. It’s fast. And often, more truthful than speech.(通常,你的身体会泄露你的话试图隐藏的东西。这些信号在意识控制水平之下运作。它很快。而且通常比言语更真实。)”可知,人们通过无意识的身体动作(即不受控制的信号)来表达情感。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Eye contact starts a series of brain activities tied to attention, trust, and understanding.(眼神交流引发了一系列与注意力、信任和理解相关的大脑活动。)”可知,研究发现眼神交流会引发大脑反应。故选A。
31.词句猜测题。根据第五段中“When we become savvy about the mind’s secret language, we don’t just connect more. We understand more. And that understanding is the beginning of healing, of creation, of peace.(当我们对大脑的秘密语言变得savvy about时,我们不仅联系得更多。我们理解得更多。而这种理解是治愈、创造、和平的开始。)”可知,这里指的是当我们对大脑的秘密语言(即无声交流)变得熟练或精通时,我们会有更多的联系和理解。因此,savvy about在此处的意思是“精通于”或“熟练于”。Skilled in意为“精通于”,符合题意。故选A。
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found that the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32.Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph?
A.To suggest that learning a second language can improve physical fitness.
B.To prove that one needs to practice more to learn a language well.
C.To explain that language learning helps grey matter work well.
D.To show the importance of using language during language learning.
33.What can we know from the scientific findings?
A.The ability of learning a second language improves with ages.
B.The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
C.Learning a second language brings greater advantages if started young.
D.Grey matter density was greater in people without a second language than in bilinguals.
34.In the last two paragraphs, what does the author try to tell us?
A.Learning a second language can help you understand different ideas better.
B.Native Italian speakers learn English faster than people of other nationalities.
C.The students who learn a second language always get higher maths scores than everyone else.
D.It’s better to choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language to get brain benefits.
35.What is the best title of this passage?
A.Bilingual Helps Learning Mathematics
B.The Best Age to Learn a Second Language
C.How to Learn a Second Language Efficiently
D.Learning a Second Language Improves Brain Power
【答案】32.C 33.C 34.A 35.D
【知识点】语言与文化 、科普知识 、说明文
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了学习外语可以提高人的思维能力。
32.推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究,学习第二语言能够提升大脑能力。研究人员发现,学习其他语言会改变灰质密度(大脑中的灰质部分)。这一区域负责处理信息。它类似于锻炼能增强肌肉的作用。该研究还发现,人们越早学习第二语言,效果就越显著)”可推知,作者在第二段提到“锻炼”,告诉我们学习一门语言可以有效地训练你的大脑。故选C。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度).(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究,学习第二语言能够提升大脑能力。研究人员发现,学习其他语言会改变大脑灰质的密度)”和“The study also found that the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.(该研究还发现,人们学习第二语言的年龄越小,其效果就越显著)”以及文章第四段“Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.(扫描结果显示,双语者大脑中的灰质密度高于非双语者)”可推知,你越早开始学习第二语言,灰质密度就越高。故选C。
34.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”(威尔士大学的迪伦·沃恩·琼斯教授对双语能力与数学技能之间的关系进行了研究。他说:“掌握两种语言能让你从两个角度观察世界,使大脑更加灵活。实际上,你超越了语言本身,对不同的想法有了更深入的理解。”)”和最后一段“The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.( 研究结果表明,越早开始学习语言效果越好。科学家们解释道:“学习一门语言意味着你能够进入另一个世界。”)”可知,威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究双语与数学技能之间的联系,他认为学习语言可以更好地了解不同的想法;科学家们认为学习语言让人了解另一个世界,而不单单局限于语言方面,而且越早学习,效果就越好。由此可推测出,提早学习第二语言有助于学习其他科目。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?(难道你没有注意到,自从开始学习一门语言以来,你变得更聪明了吗?)”引出学习语言会让人变聪明的话题,接下来具体介绍了一项新研究的发现:学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度(这是大脑中的信息加工区域),而且越早学习新语言,这种效果就越好。故D选项“学习第二语言能提升大脑能力”最符合文章标题。故选D。
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。
I spent four years studying Spanish when I attended high school — primarily because it was required. When I began working as a restaurant manager in a location with a nearly 100% Hispanic staff, I immediately regretted not taking it more seriously back then. However, with some online resources and a lot of help from my coworkers, I eventually became fluent in Spanish. 36 , there are several great reasons to do so.
Sharpen Your Mind
Research conducted at York University in Toronto, Canada suggested that people who studied a second language scored higher on standardized testing compared with those who did not. 37 .
Travel More Conveniently
Have you ever dreamed of traveling the globe, but you didn’t achieve it, because you were frightened by language barriers? 38 . Even a basic understanding of German, for instance, can turn a trip to Bonn or Berlin into a noticeably smoother and more manageable experience.
Unlock New Career Paths
39 . That means that companies in the US are eager to hire workers who can speak more than one language. If you’re looking for a way to move beyond your current role, consider language learning your ticket to new opportunities. According to the website YouGov, only 25% of Americans speak a second language, and that means it is a golden ticket that will help you stand out from the crowd.

B.If you speak their native language
C.Whether your job requires you to learn a second language or not
D.It challenges you to constantly store and recall new words and rules

【知识点】语言学习策略
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者结合自身学习西班牙语的经历,引出学习第二语言的话题,随后从锻炼大脑、方便旅行、拓宽职业道路、增强记忆力四个方面,介绍了学习第二语言的好处。
36.上文“I spent four years studying Spanish when I attended high school — primarily because it was required. When I began working as a restaurant manager in a location with a nearly 100% Hispanic staff, I immediately regretted not taking it more seriously back then. However, with some online resources and a lot of help from my coworkers, I eventually became fluent in Spanish.(我上高中时花了四年时间学习西班牙语,主要是因为这是必修课。当我开始在一个几乎100%西班牙裔员工的地方担任餐厅经理时,我立刻后悔当时没有更认真地对待这件事。然而,在一些在线资源和同事的帮助下,我最终掌握了流利的西班牙语。)”讲述了作者高中时被迫学西班牙语但不够认真,工作后因环境需求重新学习并流利掌握的经历,下文“there are several great reasons to do so. (这样做有几个充分的理由)”引出学习第二语言的具体益处。C项“无论你的工作是否要求你学习第二语言”承上启下,“do so”指代“学习第二语言”,同时用“无论是否要求”的表述,覆盖了不同人群的学习动机,自然衔接下文的理由介绍。故选C。
37.上文“Sharpen Your Mind (锻炼你的大脑)”是该段主题句,上文“Research conducted at York University in Toronto, Canada suggested that people who studied a second language scored higher on standardized testing compared with those who did not.(加拿大多伦多约克大学进行的一项研究表明,学习第二语言的人在标准化测试中的得分高于不学习第二语言的人。)”提及加拿大约克大学的研究表明,学习第二语言的人在标准化测试中得分更高。G项“此外,它还能帮助培养解决问题和批判性思维等关键技能”承接上文,“it”指代“学习第二语言”,“moreover”体现递进关系,进一步说明学习第二语言对大脑能力的提升作用,与“锻炼大脑”的主题契合。故选G。
38.上文“Travel More Conveniently (让旅行更便捷)”是该段主题句,上文“Have you ever dreamed of traveling the globe, but you didn’t achieve it, because you were frightened by language barriers?(你是否曾经梦想过环游世界,但因为语言障碍而没有实现?)”提到人们因害怕语言障碍而无法实现环球旅行的梦想。A项“学习一门第二语言可以消除这种恐惧”承接上文,“that fear”指代“frightened by language barriers”,直接回应旅行中的语言困扰,同时呼应“旅行更便捷”的主题,引出下文德语助力德国旅行的例子。故选A。
39.上文“Unlock New Career Paths (拓宽职业道路)”是该段主题句,下文“That means that companies in the US are eager to hire workers who can speak more than one language. (这意味着美国企业迫切希望雇佣会说多种语言的员工)”解释了双语能力在职场受欢迎的原因。F项“当今经济比以往任何时候都更加全球化” 承接上文,“that” 指代 “经济全球化” 这一现状,阐明了企业需要双语人才的背景,与 “拓宽职业道路” 的主题相呼应,逻辑通顺。故选F。
40.上文“Strengthen Memory (增强记忆力)” 是该段主题句,上文“Learning a second language is, in many ways, a memory workout.(从很多方面来说,学习第二语言是一种记忆力的锻炼。)”提到学习第二语言在很多方面相当于一种记忆力训练。D项“它会挑战你不断储存和回忆新的单词与语法规则”承接上文,“it”指代“学习第二语言”,具体解释了学习第二语言如何锻炼记忆力,“store and recall new words and rules”对应下文的“training your brain’s memory center(训练大脑的记忆中心)”,符合段落主旨。故选D。

【答案】
56.for 57.dating 58.symbols 59.which 60.unified 61.wisdom 62.the 63.To understand 64.has influenced 65.and
【知识点】语言与文化
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了汉字书写系统是中华文明延续至今的关键原因之一,讲述其发展历程、重要意义及国际影响。
【详解】56.考查介词。句意:在这种延续性的关键原因中,汉字书写系统一直发挥着重要作用。空格前为名词reasons,常用搭配为reasons for sth.“……的原因”。故填for。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:在早期,汉字是一种以图画为基础的语言,可追溯到数千年前的龙骨——古代中国人在上面雕刻符号的兽骨和贝壳。分析句子结构,句中已有谓语动词was,且无连词连接,所以此处应用非谓语动词;date back to(追溯到)没有被动语态,所以用现在分词形式dating。故填dating。
58.考查名词单复数。句意:在早期,汉字是一种以图画为基础的语言,可追溯到数千年前的龙骨——古代中国人在上面雕刻符号的兽骨和贝壳。空格前无不定冠词修饰,且根据后面的were carved可知,主语应为复数形式;symbol为可数名词,其复数形式为symbols。故填symbols。
59.考查定语从句。句意:后来,秦始皇统一了七个主要诸侯国,这使得他统一了书写系统。分析句子结构,空格前为完整句子,空格后为非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代前面“秦始皇统一七国”这件事,所以用关系代词which。故填which。

62.考查固定搭配。句意:由于汉语被认为是世界上最重要的语言之一,学习汉语的国际学生数量正在迅速增加。the number of+可数名词复数表示“……的数量”,作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。故填the。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:要充分了解中国,就必须掌握其书写系统——一项几个世纪以来对这个国家产生巨大影响的遗产。分析句子结构,句中已有谓语动词must grasp,且无连词连接,所以此处应用非谓语动词;结合句意,“掌握书写系统”的目的是“充分了解中国”,所以用动词不定式to understand作目的状语,且位于句首首字母大写。故填To understand。
64.考查动词时态。句意:要充分了解中国,就必须掌握其书写系统——一项几个世纪以来对这个国家产生巨大影响的遗产。根据时间状语for many centuries可知,此处表示从过去持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时;主语a heritage为单数形式,所以用has influenced。故填has influenced。
65.考查连词。句意:事实上,它既是一种交流工具,也是一份鲜活的记录,承载着中国人民的故事。结合句意,此处表示“既是……也是……”,常用搭配为both...and...。故填and。

67.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。
Paul, a high school exchange student, came to our school with excitement, hoping to learn about the culture and language. However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones (声调) confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in.
I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking.
One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors (摊贩). Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.”
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。
At the market, Paul was nervous but excited.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. The lively atmosphere filled with colorful stalls and enthusiastic vendors immediately drew him in. I encouraged him to order some fruits in Chinese. At first, his pronunciation was shaky, but the elderly vendor, noticing his effort, patiently corrected him with a warm smile. By the third stall, Paul was confidently bargaining for souvenirs using simple sentences. A tea shop owner even invited us to taste different varieties, explaining their cultural significance in slow Mandarin. That day, Paul didn’t just practice language — he discovered how communication bridges cultures.
Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. To everyone’s surprise, Paul volunteered immediately. He spent days preparing, incorporating market experiences into his speech about “The Beauty of Daily Communication”. When he stood before the class, his tones were clear, and his gestures lively as he described how a street food vendor taught him the difference between baozi and jiaozi. The classroom erupted in applause. Later, the teacher praised his progress as “the magic of courage meeting opportunity,” and Paul whispered to me, “Now I understand mistakes are just steps to success.”
【知识点】语言学习经历、学校生活
【导语】本文以Paul学中文为线索展开,讲述了交换生Paul因汉语太难想放弃,搭档“我”主动帮他课后补习,但他仍不敢开口。老师鼓励他“别怕犯错”,“我们”便去市场实践。Paul从紧张结巴到自信讨价还价,还学到文化知识。几周后,他主动用亲身经历做中文演讲,全班鼓掌。他最终明白:犯错是进步的阶梯。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在市场上,Paul既紧张又兴奋”可知,第一段可描写起初Paul沟通得不太顺利,但随着小贩们的热情和耐心引导,他的沟通变得流利,而且逐渐了解语言背后的文化。
②由第二段首句内容“几周后,我们的语文老师宣布将有一个关于中国文化的课堂演讲”可知,第二段可描写Paul报名了演讲,在课堂上将自身在市场的经历讲述出来,演讲很成功,Paul收获了赞扬,也明白了犯错是进步的阶梯。
2. 续写线索:去市场——Paul起初受挫——Paul逐渐流利表达——老师宣布课堂演讲——Paul演讲——Paul收获赞扬,得到感悟

How many languages do you know now? three? yes. My first language was english, and I learned italian when I was four. My grandmother came to live with us and he spoke IT to me. Why do you think spanish is easier than the others? I found some of the words hard to pronounce.

I majored in italian at university, and since graduation, I have continued to study and teach the language air. I know we have learners from different backgrounds, so there is no need to compare your progress with that of others. What matters most is your weekly attendance. Missing a single lesson can really slow you down. In our study, the textbook is the main tool, but there are other helpful ways, like using language jobs or joining online groups before you focus on vocabulary and grammar, I must stress the importance of pronunciation. A wide vocabulary is less useful if you can't pronounce the words correctly. Therefore, learning pronunciation is the first step, especially since italian is such a beautiful language.

【答案】Dear Alan,
I am writing to express my interest in becoming your Chinese practice partner. As a native Chinese speaker, I am confident in my fluency and would be delighted to help you improve your Mandarin skills.
I believe we can benefit each other in this language exchange. While I can assist you with your Chinese, I am also eager to improve my English, particularly in conversational skills. I suggest we meet twice a week, with each session lasting for about an hour. This frequency should provide enough opportunity for practice without being too overwhelming.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. The lively atmosphere filled with colorful stalls and enthusiastic vendors immediately drew him in. I encouraged him to order some fruits in Chinese. At first, his pronunciation was shaky, but the elderly vendor, noticing his effort, patiently corrected him with a warm smile. By the third stall, Paul was confidently bargaining for souvenirs using simple sentences. A tea shop owner even invited us to taste different varieties, explaining their cultural significance in slow Mandarin. That day, Paul didn’t just practice language — he discovered how communication bridges cultures.
Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. To everyone’s surprise, Paul volunteered immediately. He spent days preparing, incorporating market experiences into his speech about “The Beauty of Daily Communication”. When he stood before the class, his tones were clear, and his gestures lively as he described how a street food vendor taught him the difference between baozi and jiaozi. The classroom erupted in applause. Later, the teacher praised his progress as “the magic of courage meeting opportunity,” and Paul whispered to me, “Now I understand mistakes are just steps to success.”

My Year Abroad
This month in Travellers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.
Mariko Okada — Tokyo
My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.
Carla Fonseca — Rio de Janeiro
I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!
Alvin Chen — Hong Kong
Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week — with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!
21.Why did the three teenagers go abroad?
A.To have a holiday. B.To visit friends. C.To study English. D.To find a job.
22.Who didn’t really enjoy the stay in a foreign country very much?
A.Carla. B.Mariko. C.Alvin. D.Carla’s roommate
23.Travellers Corner is most probably ____.
A.a sports club newsletter B.a science documentary C.a news website D.a travel magazine
B
Some polyglots (通晓多种语言的人), who can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Giuseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof that anyone can try to be one.
As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realized he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice. Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun.
Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. “Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says. “Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. ‘Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural worldview,’ says Tim. ‘You can translate words easily, but you can’t quite translate meaning.’ Or, as Nelson Mandela said, ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.’”
24.What helped Tim understand Hebrew at first?
A.Watching movies.
B.Talking to friends.
C.Using a dictionary.
D.Taking online courses.
25.How is Tim different from historical polyglots mentioned?
A.He uses modern technology to learn.
B.He speaks fewer languages than they do.
C.He learns languages only at school.
D.He doesn’t care about grammar rules.
26.What can be inferred from Mandela’s quote at the end?
A.Language affects emotional connection.
B.Everyone should learn African languages.
C.Speaking well impresses other people.
D.Translation is often unnecessary.
27.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To list famous polyglots in history.
B.To show how to become a linguist.
C.To encourage language learning for communication.
D.To compare school language teaching and self-study.
C
Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers. You haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either. Yet something is already being said. This is not magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the quiet feeling that stays with every talk we have. Human beings are language-related creatures, but long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection.
Most of the emotional information we send and receive doesn’t come through what we say — it comes through how we behave. Body language is the silent symphony (交响乐) of every social interaction. Take facial expressions. Charles Darwin, in his lesser-known book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, pointed out that emotions like fear, anger, joy, and sadness are expressed similarly across cultures — and he was right. Paul Ekman’s research later showed that six basic emotions are recognized worldwide.
But the face is just the start. The rest of the body plays too. Often, your body gives away what your words are trying to hide. These signals operate below the level of conscious (有意识的) control. It’s fast. And often, more truthful than speech.
The eyes have long been called the window to the soul — and now been proven by studies. Eye contact starts a series of brain activities tied to attention, trust, and understanding. Eye contact increases connection, improves teamwork, and increases persuasion. But different cultures explain it differently — what feels honest in one culture may seem unfriendly in another.
We live in a world filled with words. Still, we must ask: what happens when we over-depend on words and ignore the unspoken? Actually, to reconnect, we must look up, lean in, watch more than we speak and listen not just to what is said, but to what is felt. When we become savvy about the mind’s secret language, we don’t just connect more. We understand more. And that understanding is the beginning of healing, of creation, of peace.
28.Why does the author give an example at the beginning?
A.To present an unusual fact.
B.To introduce the key to connection.
C.To show the role of silent language.
D.To point out weaknesses of language.
29.How do people express their feelings through body language?
A.By adding some spoken language.
B.By connecting facial and hand language.
C.By doing conscious body actions.
D.By giving uncontrolled signals.
30.What do studies find about eye contact?
A.It causes brain responses.
B.It’s necessary in teamwork.
C.It benefits cultural interaction.
D.It’s recognized worldwide.
31.What do the underlined words “savvy about” mean in paragraph 5?
A.Skilled in. B.Careful about. C.Adapted to. D.Interested in.
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found that the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32.Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph?
A.To suggest that learning a second language can improve physical fitness.
B.To prove that one needs to practice more to learn a language well.
C.To explain that language learning helps grey matter work well.
D.To show the importance of using language during language learning.
33.What can we know from the scientific findings?
A.The ability of learning a second language improves with ages.
B.The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
C.Learning a second language brings greater advantages if started young.
D.Grey matter density was greater in people without a second language than in bilinguals.
34.In the last two paragraphs, what does the author try to tell us?
A.Learning a second language can help you understand different ideas better.
B.Native Italian speakers learn English faster than people of other nationalities.
C.The students who learn a second language always get higher maths scores than everyone else.
D.It’s better to choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language to get brain benefits.
35.What is the best title of this passage?
A.Bilingual Helps Learning Mathematics
B.The Best Age to Learn a Second Language
C.How to Learn a Second Language Efficiently
D.Learning a Second Language Improves Brain Power

I spent four years studying Spanish when I attended high school — primarily because it was required. When I began working as a restaurant manager in a location with a nearly 100% Hispanic staff, I immediately regretted not taking it more seriously back then. However, with some online resources and a lot of help from my coworkers, I eventually became fluent in Spanish. 36 , there are several great reasons to do so.
Sharpen Your Mind
Research conducted at York University in Toronto, Canada suggested that people who studied a second language scored higher on standardized testing compared with those who did not. 37 .
Travel More Conveniently
Have you ever dreamed of traveling the globe, but you didn’t achieve it, because you were frightened by language barriers? 38 . Even a basic understanding of German, for instance, can turn a trip to Bonn or Berlin into a noticeably smoother and more manageable experience.
Unlock New Career Paths
39 . That means that companies in the US are eager to hire workers who can speak more than one language. If you’re looking for a way to move beyond your current role, consider language learning your ticket to new opportunities. According to the website YouGov, only 25% of Americans speak a second language, and that means it is a golden ticket that will help you stand out from the crowd.
Strengthen Memory
Learning a second language is, in many ways, a memory workout. 40 . Think of it as training your brain’s memory center. By consistently strengthening this mental muscle, you’ll find it easier to remember all kinds of things — from daily tasks to important plans. This not only makes you more effective at work but also helps you stay more engaged in life.
A.Learning a second language can put that fear to rest
B.If you speak their native language
C.Whether your job requires you to learn a second language or not
D.It challenges you to constantly store and recall new words and rules
E.Those tools can be valuable for improving your proficiency in English as well
F.The economy is more globalized than ever before
G.Moreover, it can help to strengthen vital skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking

When I first moved to a small Spanish town, I hardly spoke the local language. My vocabulary was 41 to basic phrases, and even ordering food left my hand 42 . Daily tasks grew increasingly stressful without being able to communicate well, and I was 43 about talking to strangers.
One rainy afternoon, I got lost and stood nervously on the street, 44 to explain my address to a passerby. Just then, an elderly woman 45 . She didn’t speak English, but offered a warm smile and 46 me a piece of paper. On it, she had drawn a simple 47 with clear arrows (箭头) showing the way.
Following her guide, I found my way home safely. I truly 48 that small kindness, which not only helped me find my way but also broke down my fear of the language barrier (障碍). I 49 to practice Spanish daily-greeting neighbors, chatting with shopkeepers. At first, I made many 50 , but people replied with gentle laughter, and 51 corrections, encouraging me to keep going.
Months later, I could speak Spanish fluently. What 52 me most was not just the ability to communicate, but the 53 I’d established. The elderly woman’s smile and map taught me a lasting lesson: language is not just words but a bridge to connect hearts, a 54 to share stories, and a tool to understand different cultures. The 55 wasn’t easy, but every step was worth it.

China is known for its ancient civilization that has continued into modern times. Among the key reasons 56 this continuity (延续性), the Chinese writing system has been playing an important part.
In its early days, written Chinese was a picture-based language, 57 (date) back thousands of years to longgu-animal bones and shells on which 58 (symbol) were carved by ancient Chinese people. By the Shang Dynasty, they had become a highly-developed writing system. Later, Emperor Qinshihuang united seven major states, 59 led to him unifying the writing system. This 60 (unify) system was of great importance for the Chinese people and their culture.
Today, written Chinese connects China’s present with its past: modern people can read ancient classics to learn about their ancestors’ 61 (wise). It has also grown into an art form called Chinese calligraphy, loved by people at home and abroad.
As Chinese is considered as one of the most important languages in the world, 62 number of international students learning Chinese is increasing rapidly. 63 (understand) China fully, one must grasp its writing system-a heritage that 64 (influence) the nation greatly for many centuries.

67.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。
Paul, a high school exchange student, came to our school with excitement, hoping to learn about the culture and language. However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones (声调) confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in.
I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking.
One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors (摊贩). Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.”
