【題目】 An obvious reason for learning a new language is to be able to communicate with the people who speak it.【1】 People in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language, even if all you can say in it is “hello” and “please”.

Cultural understanding

Speaking a new language helps you to get to know another people and culture, as language and culture go hand in hand.【2】 It shows new ways of looking at the world. In addition, when you speak another language, you can enjoy literature, film, and music in the original language. It is extremely difficult for a translation to be a perfect replica (復制品) of the original. 【3】.

Business and careers

【4】 Schools and employers tend to prefer candidates who speak one or more foreign languages. Even though English is widely spoken in much of the world, the fact is that the global economy depends on communication. When dealing with France, for example, someone who speaks French will have an obvious advantage over someone who doesn’t.

Language improvement

Learning another language can help you to understand your own. Many languages have contributed to the development of English.【5】 Also, in learning how another language differs from your own, you will increase your understanding of your own language. For many people, language is innate (與生俱來的) — we know how to say something, but we don’t necessarily know why we say it that way. Learning another language can change that.

A.Language is helpful in making foreign friends.

B.The best way is to read what the author actually wrote.

C.Learning another language opens one’s mind to new ideas.

D.Your trip will be comfortable if you speak the local language.

E.Speaking more than one language will increase your market ability.

F.It is true that mastering another foreign language is very beneficial.

G.Learning those will teach you where words and even grammatical structures are from.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】E

【5】G

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。語言學習的明顯目的是為了交流，但對我們了解異域文化、職業(yè)發(fā)展和語言提高也有很好的幫助作用。

【1】根據(jù)下文中的People in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language, even if all you can say in it is “hello” and “please”.(每個國家的人都喜歡游客努力說當?shù)卣Z言，即使你只能說“你好”和“請”)可知，D項中的Your trip與tourists相呼應，且語義（如果你能說當?shù)氐恼Z言，你的旅行會很舒服）承接上文。故選D。

【2】根據(jù)段落開頭Speaking a new language helps you to get to know another people and culture, as language and culture go hand in hand.(說一門新的語言可以幫助你了解另一個民族和文化，因為語言和文化是相輔相成的)可知，C選項（學習另一種語言能夠開闊眼界）能承接上文內容。故選C。

【3】根據(jù)上文中的It is extremely difficult for a translation to be a perfect replica (復制品) of the original.(譯文要完全復制原文是極其困難的)可知，B選項（最好的方法是閱讀作者的原著）能夠承接上文。且選項中the author和上文the original相呼應。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)下文中的Schools and employers tend to prefer candidates who speak one or more foreign languages.(學校和雇主傾向于選擇會說一種或多種外語的候選人)可知，E選項（講多種語言能夠增加市場機會）能承接上文，且選項中more than one language和前文的One or more foreign languages相呼應。故選E。

【5】根據(jù)上文的Learning another language can help you to understand your own. Many languages have contributed to the development of English.(學習另一種語言可以幫助你理解自己的語言。許多語言對英語的發(fā)展作出了貢獻)可知，上文談到許多語言對英語的發(fā)展的作用，據(jù)此可知，G選項（通過學習那些語言能夠知道詞匯和語法結構的起源）能承接上文。故選G。

單詞復現(xiàn)法是七選五常用的大題技巧之一，即選項和原文中的某些詞相同或互為詞根詞綴的形式相呼應。如第4小題，E選項Speaking more than one language will increase your market ability.(講多種語言能夠增加市場機會)中的more than one language和前文的One or more foreign languages相呼應，又因語義承接上文，即可推斷出E項正確。

【題目】 Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it? It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.

If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麥), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.

Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.

Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add to much!)

One of the best things about porridge? You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods (主食)” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.

Porridge? Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!

【1】What is the purpose of the text?

【題目】 An increasing part of the world is becoming artificially lit. Artificial light is often seen as a sign of progress: the march of civilization shines a light in the dark; it takes back the night. But some scientists argue that unnaturally bright nights are bad not just for astronomers but also for nocturnal (夜間的) animals and even for human health.

Now research shows the night is getting even brighter. From 2012 to 2016 the earth’s artificially lit area expanded by about 2.2 percent a year, according to a study published last November in Science Advances. However, the measurement does not include light from most of the energy–efficient LED lamps that have been replacing sodium-vapor (鈉氣燈) technology in cities all over the world ,says Christopher Kyba, a postdoctoral researcher at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam.

The new data came from a NASA satellite instrument called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIRS). It can measure long wavelengths of light, such as those produced by traditional yellow-and-orange sodium-vapor street lamps. But VIIRS cannot see the short-wavelength blue light produced by white LEDs. This light has been shown to disturb human sleep cycles and nocturnal animals’ behavior.

The team believes the ongoing switch to LEDs caused already bright countries such as Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the U.S. to register as having stable levels of lighting in the VIIRS data. In contrast, most nations in South America, Africa and Asia brightened, suggesting increases in the use of traditional lighting.

In 2016, a study showed that one third of the world’s population currently lives under skies too bright to see the Milky Way at night. Between 2012 and 2016 the median nation pumped out 15 percent more long-wavelength light as its GDP increased by 13 percent. Overall, counties' total light production correlated with their GDP.

【1】Which of the following can best describe artificial light?

A.Convenient but unnatural.B.Useful but energy-consuming.

C.Progressive but uncomfortable.D.Civilized but harmful.

【2】What can we know about the already bright countries?

A.Traditional lighting is not used in those countries.

B.LED lights are increasingly used in those countries.

C.Efforts to reduce harmful light work in those countries.

D.People do enjoy stable lighting in those countries.

【3】Why does the author mention “the median nation” in the last paragraph?

A.To show artificial light has an association with GDP.

B.To demonstrate GDP plays an important part in the median nation.

C.To stress the median nation was to blame for the light problem.

D.To suggest artificial light should be banned in the future.

【4】Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A.A biology textbook.B.A book review.

C.A science magazine.D.A science fiction.
