(对划线部分提问) ________ ________ is the most widely‑used language in the world? 【答案】 Which language 【详解】句意：英语是世界上使用最广泛的语言。划线部分English是具体的事物，指代某一种语言，针对“特定范围内的哪一个”提问时，要用疑问词Which，后接被修饰的名词language，句首首字母要大写。 2．More than 400 million people are native English‑speakers. (改为同义句) More than 400 million people speak English ________ their mother ________. 【答案】 as tongue 【详解】句意：超过4亿人的母语是英语。核心短语是native English-speakers，改写后需表达相同含义，即“超过4亿人把英语当作母语来说”，“把……当作母语”常用短语speak ... as one’s mother tongue来表达，因此第一空填as，第二空填tongue。 3．People use facial expressions in sign language.（改为一般疑问句） ________ people ________ facial expressions in sign language? 【答案】 Do use 【详解】句意：人们在手语中使用面部表情。原句时态是一般现在时，谓语动词use是实义动词，变一般疑问句时，结构为“Do/Does+主语+动词原形+其他?”，因为主语People是复数，所以选用助动词Do置于句首；借助助动词后，谓语动词需恢复原形use。 4．We can improve our vocabulary by reading English novels. (对划线部分提问) ________ ________ we improve our vocabulary? 【答案】 How can 【详解】句意：我们可以通过读英文小说来提升词汇量。划线部分为“by reading English novels”，表示做某事的方式或方法，对此提问应用疑问词How。原句中含有情态动词 can，变为疑问句时需将can提至主语we之前。故填How；can。 五、选词填空 dialect, idiom, pronounce, communicate, culture, accurate 1．People in this village speak a local that few outsiders understand. 2．“Break a leg” is an English that means good luck. 3．You should this word slowly so that everyone can hear it clearly. 4．It’s necessary to with others actively to improve your language skills. 5．We should learn about different to broaden our horizons. 6．Please write down the answers to get full marks. 【答案】1．dialect 2．idiom 3．pronounce 4．communicate 5．cultures 6．accurately 【详解】1．句意：这个村子的人说着一种当地方言，几乎没有外人听得懂。空处缺少一个名词作speak的宾语，根据“that few outsiders understand”可知是一种很少外人懂的东西，结合所给词，dialect“方言”符合语境，a后跟单数名词。 2．句意：“Break a leg”是一句英语习语，意思是祝你好运。空处缺少名词作表语，“Break a leg”是一个英语习语表达，结合所给词，idiom“习语”符合，an修饰单数名词。 3．句意：你应当慢速读出这个单词，方便所有人听清。空处缺少动词，位于情态动词should后要用动词原形，后文this word“这个单词”需要搭配pronounce“发音”，pronounce this word“读单词”。 4．句意：主动和他人交流，以此提升语言能力是很有必要的。空处缺少动词，communicate with others是固定短语，表示“与他人交流”，固定句型It’s necessary to do sth“做某事是必要的”，to后用动词原形communicate。 5．句意：我们应当了解不同文化来开阔眼界。空处缺少名词作“learn about”的宾语，learn about culture“了解文化”，different后接名词复数，culture的复数形式cultures符合语境。 6．句意：请准确写下答案，拿满分。空处缺少副词修饰动词短语“write down”，accurate的副词形式accurately“准确地”符合语境，表示“准确地写下”。 一、完形填空 阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 Sign language is a 1 language that uses hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements.

It is not just about being able to communicate with people from other countries. Language learning can also open doors to new opportunities and broaden your horizons. One of the most obvious benefits of language learning is improving your career prospects. Many companies today operate internationally. They are looking for employees who can speak multiple languages. Knowing a second language can give you an edge in the job market and may lead to better job offers and higher salaries. For example, speaking Russian can be useful in looking for jobs because Russia is a global leader in several industries. Similarly, Spanish is widely used in the Americas and Europe, making it a valuable skill for business. Language learning also enriches your understanding of other cultures. When you learn a language, you also learn about the customs, traditions, and values of the people who speak it. This helps you become more open-minded and culturally aware. You can gain a deeper appreciation of the world's diversity. You can also make friends from different backgrounds and enjoy their literature, music, and films in the original language. Finally, learning a language is a great exercise for the brain. It improves memory, problem-solving skills, and concentration. Studies have shown that bilingual people tend to have better cognitive abilities. So, learning a language is good for both your personal and professional life. There is no better time to start than now. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Learning a language has many benefits for career, culture, and brain. B．English is the most useful language to learn. C．Learning a language is too difficult. D．Only young people can learn languages. 2．How does language learning help in a career? A．It guarantees a high salary. B．It gives you an edge in the job market. C．It makes you work faster. D．It helps you avoid speaking to people. 3．What can you learn when you learn a language? A．Only grammar and vocabulary. B．Customs, traditions, and values of other cultures. C．Only how to read. D．Only how to write. 4．What does the passage say about bilingual people? A．They have worse cognitive abilities. B．They tend to have better cognitive abilities. C．They have the same cognitive abilities as others. D．They cannot learn other languages. 5．What does the author suggest at the end? A．There is no need to learn a language. B．Learning a language is a waste of time. C．It is a good idea to start learning a language now. D．Only one language is enough. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了学习外语在职业发展、文化理解以及大脑认知方面的多重益处，并鼓励人们现在开始学习。 【详解】1．全文分别从职业、文化、大脑三个角度阐述：“learning a language is good for both your personal and professional life”，这直接说明学习语言对职业、文化和大脑有诸多益处。 2．第二段说明职业方面的作用：“Knowing a second language can give you an edge in the job market”，掌握第二语言会在求职市场中带给你竞争优势。 3．第三段讲到语言学习的收获：“When you learn a language, you also learn about the customs, traditions, and values of the people who speak it”，说明学习语言时可以了解其他文化的风俗、传统和价值观。 4．第四段给出研究结论：“Studies have shown that bilingual people tend to have better cognitive abilities”，表明双语者往往拥有更好的认知能力。 5．文章末尾给出作者建议：“There is no better time to start than now”，说明作者建议现在就开始学习语言是个好主意。 B Being confident isn’t just about what you know or think. Confidence comes from how you feel in your body too. If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head is down, you feel differently to the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Research has found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals that can make you feel more stressed or worried. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says your body and brain are connected. “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect (影响) how you feel. It tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV character you admire for being brave or strong and picture how he sits, stands or walks. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, perhaps before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch (伸出) your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you feel and how your mood has changed. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．Sitting straight is good. B．Keeping shoulders down is bad. C．Feelings are important to us. D．Postures may affect feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．TV characters. B．Confident people. C．Nervous feelings. D．Brave persons. 3．Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A． B． C． D． 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Confidence comes from stress and worries. B．Confidence only comes from your knowledge. C．Confidence can also come from the body language. D．Confidence comes from the mood. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了肢体姿态与自信之间的联系，发现肢体姿态能够影响人的内心感受，肢体语言也能向他人传递自身状态，并介绍了可以提升自信的力量姿势。 【详解】1．第二段对比驼背低头与抬头挺胸两种姿态带来的不同内心感受，直接说明姿势可能影响情绪感受。 2．第四段前文提到“Think about someone you see as confident.”，代词“they”指代前文所提到的自信的人。 3．第五段介绍力量姿势：坐直、双脚平放地面，双臂伸过头顶，图片C符合该力量姿势的描述。 4．文章开篇指出“confidence comes from how you feel in your body too”，说明自信同样可以来自肢体语言。 一、阅读还原 Do you think you are confident in your life? Confidence isn’t just something you’re born with. You can learn it. 1 First, start with your posture (姿势). Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed. When you walk, don’t rush. 2 3 Looking at the person you’re talking to shows that you’re listening and interested in it. You don’t have to stare at them, just meet their eyes from time to time. Your hands also say a lot about how confident you feel. Keep them relaxed. 4 5 It’s something you can show outside. As your body begins to look confident, your mind often starts to believe it too! A．Eye contact is another key. B．Slow down and walk at a normal speed. C．Confidence isn’t just something you feel inside. D．Here are some ways to make you more confident. E．You are not expected to hide your hands in the pockets. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文围绕如何培养自信心展开，分别从体态、走路姿态、眼神交流、手部姿态几个外在方面介绍实操方法，点明外在自信的表现会带动内心建立自信。 【详解】1．前文点明自信并非与生俱来，可以后天习得，D选项“Here are some ways to make you more confident.”引出下文各类培养自信的具体方法，起到总起下文的作用。 2．前文提到走路不要急匆匆，B选项“Slow down and walk at a normal speed.”承接前文，说明走路具体该怎么做，逻辑衔接紧密。 3．后文整段讲述与人交谈时进行眼神对视的重要性，A选项“Eye contact is another key.”作为本段总起句，点明本段主题是眼神交流。 4．本段话题为手部姿势，前文要求双手保持放松，E选项“You are not expected to hide your hands in the pockets.”给出手部摆放的具体禁忌，贴合段落主旨。 5．后文讲述自信可以向外展现，外在姿态会影响内心想法，C选项“Confidence isn’t just something you feel inside.”引出“自信不止是内心感受，还能外化表现”的观点，引出下文论述。 二、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 dialect, idiom, origin, pronounce, communicate, culture, accurate, grammar, vocabulary, besides, expand, understand, skill, native, express Language is a colorful world full of surprises.

It is not just about being able to communicate with people from other countries. Language learning can also open doors to new opportunities and broaden your horizons. One of the most obvious benefits of language learning is improving your career prospects. Many companies today operate internationally. They are looking for employees who can speak multiple languages. Knowing a second language can give you an edge in the job market and may lead to better job offers and higher salaries. For example, speaking Russian can be useful in looking for jobs because Russia is a global leader in several industries. Similarly, Spanish is widely used in the Americas and Europe, making it a valuable skill for business. Language learning also enriches your understanding of other cultures. When you learn a language, you also learn about the customs, traditions, and values of the people who speak it. This helps you become more open-minded and culturally aware. You can gain a deeper appreciation of the world's diversity. You can also make friends from different backgrounds and enjoy their literature, music, and films in the original language. Finally, learning a language is a great exercise for the brain. It improves memory, problem-solving skills, and concentration. Studies have shown that bilingual people tend to have better cognitive abilities. So, learning a language is good for both your personal and professional life. There is no better time to start than now. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Learning a language has many benefits for career, culture, and brain.

If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head is down, you feel differently to the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Research has found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals that can make you feel more stressed or worried. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says your body and brain are connected. “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect (影响) how you feel. It tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV character you admire for being brave or strong and picture how he sits, stands or walks. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, perhaps before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch (伸出) your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you feel and how your mood has changed. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．Sitting straight is good. B．Keeping shoulders down is bad. C．Feelings are important to us. D．Postures may affect feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．TV characters. B．Confident people. C．Nervous feelings. D．Brave persons. 3．Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A． B． C． D． 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Confidence comes from stress and worries. B．Confidence only comes from your knowledge. C．Confidence can also come from the body language. D．Confidence comes from the mood. 一、阅读还原 Do you think you are confident in your life? Confidence isn’t just something you’re born with. You can learn it. 1 First, start with your posture (姿势). Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed. When you walk, don’t rush. 2 3 Looking at the person you’re talking to shows that you’re listening and interested in it. You don’t have to stare at them, just meet their eyes from time to time. Your hands also say a lot about how confident you feel. Keep them relaxed. 4 5 It’s something you can show outside. As your body begins to look confident, your mind often starts to believe it too! A．Eye contact is another key. B．Slow down and walk at a normal speed. C．Confidence isn’t just something you feel inside. D．Here are some ways to make you more confident. E．You are not expected to hide your hands in the pockets. 二、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 dialect, idiom, origin, pronounce, communicate, culture, accurate, grammar, vocabulary, besides, expand, understand, skill, native, express Language is a colorful world full of surprises.
