Passage 17(2013 廣州,C)
The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time,they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an Englishspeaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults,and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries,they often leave their own customs and mother language behind.This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world.You do not have to depend on others to talk for you,so youVe more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore,speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions,vocabulary,and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture.So,knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally,having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well,the world can become closer.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact,there are no disadvantages.lt is very sad that many people don^ try to learn another language.lt is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silent.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The benefits of learning other languages.
B. The reasons why people come to America.
C. The importance of learning English.
D. How to learn another language.
2. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to .
A. discuss the need for teaching a new language
B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers
C. describe the advantages of moving to another country
D. show the problems of speaking only one language
3. The underlined phrase “ multi-language speakers” ( Paragraph 5) means “people who know .”
A. their mother language
B. a new language
C. more than one language
D. body language
4. According to the passage,if you can speak more than one language,you can .
A. find a better job
B. make more friends
C. better understand history
D. communicate more independently
5. Based on the last paragraph,which of the following is the worst?
A. Not knowing another language.
B. Forgetting one’s mother language.
C. Refusing to learn another language.
D. Failing to communicate with others.
Passage 17
[語篇解讀]本文是一篇說明文。題材為社會生活類,以Vieira —家為例說明了多學(xué)一門外語的好處,同時也提到了無論學(xué)什么語言,忘記母語讓人感覺很糟糕。
1. A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,文章主要講述的是學(xué)習(xí)一門外語 的好處s
2. D推理判斷題。由文章開頭可知西班牙的Vieira —家移居到美國就不再說母語了,可孩子成人后回到故鄉(xiāng)又因為不會說母語而無法 與人交流,目的是要說明只會說一門語言會導(dǎo)致不少的問題,故答案為D項。
3. C詞義猜測題。由前后文可猜測出是指會說多國語言的人。
4. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段可知,會說不止一門語言的一個好處就 是你可以和別人直接交流,不需要借助其他人,所以能更加獨立地 交流,故答案為D項。
5. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后兩句話可知,人們忘記自己的母語是一件比不去努力學(xué)習(xí)外語更糟糕的事,故答案為B項。

Passage 3(2015 廣東廣州,A)
This is a tale of two friends—one is blind,and the other has no arms.On their own,the two are “disabled”.But together,they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich,green forest.Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
