Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of
2、the American Association for the Advancement of Science.The latest evidence shows that being bilingual (双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter.But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills.She says bilingual people are often better at controlling their
3、 attentiona function called the executive(执行的)control system. Ms Bialystock is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto，Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test.A person is shown words in different colors.The person has to ignore
4、the word but say the color.The problem is that the words are all names of colors. Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function.They have to，because both languages are active in their brain at the same time.They need to limit one to be able to speak in the other. This menta
5、l exercise might help in other ways，too.Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning，and more likely to have friends from different cultures.Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimers disease. Foreign
6、 language study has increased in the United States.But linguist Alison Mackey at Georgetown University points out that Englishspeaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world.In England，like in the United States，bilingualism is seen as something special and unique and something to be co
7、mmented on and perhaps work towards，while in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.1.

8、ore likely to _.A. be healthier than othersB. make more friends from different countriesC. develop dementia or Alzheimers diseaseD. recognize a word from its meaning3.

10、report【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)B(4)D【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第二段可知，学双语的人不一定比别人更聪明，但是在某些技能方面可能会做得更好。在控制他们的注意力方面学双语的人就做得比较好。由此可知C项正确。（2）细节理解题。根据第五段第二句话“Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning，and more likely to have friends from different cultures.”可知，学双语的孩子更可能与不同文化的人交朋友。所以答
11、案应该是B项。A项文中没有提及；C项是对原文的曲解；D项应该是“separate a word from its meaning”才正确。（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段“.Englishspeaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world.”可知，说英语的国家在外语学习方面落后于世界其他地方，所以需要提高。同时也说明D项是错误的。根据最后一句“.in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.”可知
12、A和C项错误。（4）推理判断题。整篇文章讲的是根据研究说双语的人在某些方面可能会具有优势。所以这篇文章应该是一份科学新闻报告。BC _ My husband is a lord.We have one house in the countryside and one in London.I spend my days running the household.I oversee servants work and my three daughters education：They learn to play piano，sing，and dance.There are so many rul
13、es to follow. For example，I must always be polite and calm.I have to wear proper clothes.

19、刻画的是有身份的女士，故选B项。（2）推理判断题。A项为原文信息，而不是暗示；B项与原文“Monday is washing day”不符；根据最后一部分的描述可得知the factory man 并不是很满意目前的工作；故根据第三部分的gentleman只能偷偷地与心爱的女友结合，可推断出D项符合题意。（3）主旨大意题。本文通过对四位不同社会层次、不同身份职业的人物的描写，反映了当时伦敦的一个大致的社会生活面貌，虽不够全面，但比较有代表性，故选C项。CB The whole family objected when my brother and I said we were going to
20、 spend our Christmas holidays abroad.Mother said that as there would be a family reunion party，we would have to be present.Though we always enjoyed these occasions，nothing could persuade us to stay.

26、)D(3)C(4)C【解析】（1）细节理解题。由第一段第一句可得知我和弟弟想去国外过圣诞节。（2）推理判断题。文中并没有提到作者是哪国人，所以我们不知道作者的国籍是什么。（3）细节理解题。由第二段第二句“We spent the whole Christmas Eve sightseeing.”可得知。（4）推理判断题。由第三段可以推断出，在作者的国家里一些公共场所在圣诞节那天是不关门的。DA Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna
27、and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut，” Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14yearold daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk，” s
28、aid Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.” Before age 11，children like to tell their parents whats on their minds.“In fact，parents are fi
29、rst on the list，”said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years，”Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last.” Parents who know whats going on in their teenagers lives are in

35、知十几岁的孩子同朋友谈心要比同父母多，父母往往是最后一个知道孩子心事的人。因此文中的“The door to his room is always shut”一句不能照字面意义理解(通向他房间的门总是关着)，而应照其喻义理解，即孩子从心理上远离父母，故选C项。（2）细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14yearold daughter.”可知蒂娜和马克也注意到女儿的变化，即不能知道女儿的心事。故选B项。（3）句意理解题。根据全篇文章内容可知十几岁的孩子很少同父母交流是问题关键，要解决这一问题，父母必须创造机
36、会同孩子多谈心。因此“the wall of silence”指的是“十几岁的孩子同父母谈心不多”，故选C项。（4）推理判断题。由短文的最后一段建议父母要解决“十几岁的孩子同父母谈心不多”这一问题，父母应该创造机会理解孩子，找到方法同孩子交谈，同孩子写信交流思想，另外要做孩子的朋友。从这一段意来看应选D项。EIt is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies(欺负)go to make other kids a miserable school life，but a new study suggests that classr

42、er feels_ about bullies at school.A. excitedB. disappointedC. worriedD. puzzled【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)A(4)C【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段内容及倒数第二段中“25% said theyd taken other actions，such as.，not going to the bathroom or lunch.”可知，老师办公室是最不可能发生以强凌弱事件的，故D为正确选项。（2）主旨大意题。把握文章中心，确定文章标题。整篇文章反映的是校园以强凌弱事件的调查结果。故C项与文章内容最贴切。（3）细节
43、理解题。从倒数第二段内容可知，一些学生为了使自己免受欺辱而采取了逃学、不吃午饭等方法。故选A项。（4）推理判断题。从文章最后一句话可推断出作者对此现象表示担忧。FD Parents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends.Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr.Ballmer and his 16yearold daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests bo
