[天津河东区2023高一期中] B
I first heard the Spanish language in 2017 while lining up to ride the London Eye. Two boys were murmuring（低语）something in the sweetest language. I asked them what the language is, and they told me it was Spanish.
In the fall of the same year, I selected Spanish as a compulsory foreign language course throughout the next six years in my junior and senior high schools.
I had a burning desire and persistence to learn Spanish well. My interest and passion helped me succeed.
Spanish trills（颤音）were quite difficult for me at the very beginning. I repeatedly tried to figure out where to place my tongue to pronounce perfect trills.
There is no easy short-term solution to mastering a foreign language. Spanish conjugations （动词变位）are much more complicated than English ones, so I practised more. The cycle of learning, forgetting and memorising continued.
Reaching milestones has always been important. I set up several goals for learning Spanish in 12 semesters. For example, I drew up a plan last winter to pass the DELE B2 test before graduating from my high school.
I usually split up my tasks into six sections—vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, writing and oral practices. I regularly read Spanish books, recited（背诵）words and phrases, and kept on doing grammar exercises. I did listening exercises every day while showering or bathing. I wrote e-mails and letters to my Spanish friends as practice and took all opportunities to talk with my Spanish teachers and Spanish speakers I met online to enhance my oral Spanish.
I believe that success only comes with practice, patience and persistence. There’s no end to learning!

[山东潍坊2022高一期末] As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 1. .
Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 2. . What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you will feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.
3. .
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success.
D
C
B
You have to live where the language is spoken.
Some immigrants（移民）to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learnt to speak Mandarin fluently while living in San Francisco. 4. . You can download it to your cellphone and listen. Where you live is not a problem.
G
I would love to learn but I don't have the time.
How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk 5. . Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如今语言中的一些词汇发生变化的几个原因。
1._______
greatly
解析 句意为：新词随着世界的巨大变化而产生。修饰现在分词changing应用副词作状语，故填greatly。
2.________
reasons
解析 句意为：这些变化有一些原因。reason在此处意为“原因”，是可数名词，由are和some可知，应用复数。故填reasons。
3.____
for
解析 句意为：毫不奇怪，科技是很多新词产生的原因。be responsible for… 是固定短语，意为“是……的原因”。故填for。
4.___________________________
communication/communicating
解析 句意为：此外，新的交流方式创造了新的语言。介词后接名词或者动名词作宾语；communicate的名词形式为communication，意为“交流”，不可数，故填communication；也可填动名词communicating。
5.________
quicker
解析 句意为：当朋友之间在手机上互相发短信时，他们往往会使用一种更快、更容易的方式，比如“c u l8r”和“lol”。设空处和easier由and连接，并列作定语;根据语境可知，此处表示这种方式更快、更容易，应用形容词比较级。故填quicker。
6.___
a
解析 句意为：第三，青少年对有些词的新含义有很大的影响。have a great influence on… 为固定搭配，意为“对……有极大的影响”；great的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
7.________
is used
解析 句意为：例如，“sick”被用来表示“很棒”，“wassup”则意为“你好”。文章主要时态是一般现在时，此处为客观陈述，也应用一般现在时，主语“sick”与动词use之间是被动关系，用被动语态；主语是单数概念，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填is used。
8._______
which
解析 句意为：最后一个原因是全球化，这是一种在全球传播英语的有效方式。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为globalisation，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导该从句。
9._____
their
解析 句意为：不是以英语为母语的人正在创造他们自己的语言形式，叫作“全球语”。one’s own意为“某人自己的”，故此处应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
10._______
spoken
解析 句意为：“全球语”有一天会成为世界上最常用的语言吗？分析句子结构可知，设空处作定语修饰language，speak与language之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词。spoken language意为“口语”，故填spoken。

Period Ⅱ Using language—Presenting ideas
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
[河南郑州等五地新高考联盟2023高一期末联考]When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture（做手势）with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning. This is the conclusion a research team reached after using magnetic pulses（磁脉冲）to disturb these areas in language learners.
As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words（such as “lamube” for “camera” and “atesi” for “thought”）over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they are also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves.
Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learnt into German in a test. At the same time, they had equipment tied to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses to their primary motor cortex（运动皮层）—the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. According to the results of the experiment, the researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learnt with gestures.
The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. In contrast, children—unlike adults—seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020, the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究者通过实验发现当人们学习词汇时，通过手势进行辅助学习可以更好地记忆。
1.Which method might be better in memorising words according to the passage ( )
D
A.Watching videos. B.Using magnetic tape.
C.Reading the words repeatedly. D.Making hand movements.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.可知，学习词汇时做手势可以帮助人们更好地记住词汇。故选D项。
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about ( )
A
A.The design of the research. B.The purpose of the research.
C.The subjects of the research. D.The result of the research.
解析 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知，实验挑选了22名说德语的人在四天内学习90个新创造出来的单词，并观看含有和单词含义相匹配的手势的视频，同时也要求他们在重复单词时对手势进行模仿。由此可以推断出第二段介绍了实验过程的设计。故选A项。
3.What helped remember the meanings of the new words ( )
D
A.The best questions. B.The equipment. C.The word type. D.The motor cortex.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的the researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learnt with gestures可知，在记忆新单词时起帮助作用的是运动皮层。故选D项。
4.What do the underlined words “were still tied” mean in the last paragraph ( )
A
A.Achieved the same results. B.Did not help the adults equally.
C.Failed to have beneficial effects. D.Were connected with each other
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures可知，六个月后通过手势辅助学习的成年人获益更多，结合still表示“仍旧”可推断出两个月后这两种学习方法的测试结果是一样的，be still tied在此处表示“拥有相同的结果”。故选A项。
【方法总结】利用上下文之间的逻辑关系解词义猜测题
在做词义猜测题时，如果上下文中出现逻辑衔接词，需要特别注意，上下文之间的逻辑关系有时会成为解答词义猜测题的关键信息。常见的逻辑关系有并列、递进、转折、因果、让步等。如本题中，画线词前的内容提到一项实验让成年人和儿童使用手势视频和图片辅助的方式学习新单词；表示转折的连词But后的内容与前面的内容形成转折，表示然而六个月之后，（比起图片辅助，）使用手势辅助学习的方式让成年人获益更多，而儿童从两种学习方法中受益同样多。由此可以推断，But前的内容表示，在实验开始的两个月后，手势视频和图片辅助产生的作用是差不多的。

单元限时小卷
[重庆2022高一期末]When did you last write a letter Properly write one—by hand In a digital world, sending a text or e-mail is far more convenient than using traditional mail. Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via e-mail. But doing a handwritten document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly related to students, because typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback（触觉反馈）” to the brain. They think taking notes by hand involves cognitive（认知的）engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. They also agree that handwriting may improve fine movement skills of your hands and fingers.
建议用时：42分钟
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Writing notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and convenient. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most influence. Pen Pal writer Katherine Moller said, “In a world where it is so easy to get online to e-mail or send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chooses to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t get rid of your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!

Should We Create More National Parks to Save Endangered Animals
Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1. . And I think the best way to do this is for the government to create more national parks.
2. . If this environment is destroyed—for example, when people clear a forest for new fields, or cut down trees for making money—many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 3. .
C
E
B
On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere（干扰）with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4. . They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all, though, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 5. . As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.
F
D
A.To begin with, animals are important to humans.
B.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D.These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E.Firstly, national parks protect the animals’ natural environment.
F.They say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life.
G.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了健康专家针对人们如何改善生活方式给出的一些建议。
1.___
a
解析 句意为：健康的生活方式帮助人们过和谐的生活。此处表示泛指，且live a/an… life为固定用法，意为“过……样的生活”。harmonious的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
2.___________
themselves
解析 句意为：现在，许多人说他们没有太多时间照顾自己。根据语境可知，此处表示“照顾自己”，应用反身代词。故填themselves。
3._____
that
解析 句意为：然而，正是你每天做的事情和吃的东西让你保持健康。本句为“it is +被强调部
分+that/who+其他”强调句结构，强调主语what you do and eat every day。故填that。
4.___
at
解析 句意为：最近，病态肥胖人群的数量正以惊人的速度增长。at (a/an)... rate为固定搭配，意为“以……速度”。故填at。
5.______
given
解析 句意为：这些是健康专家给出的一些建议，可以帮助你实现你的目标。设空处作定语，修饰suggestions,应用非谓语动词形式。suggestions与give之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填given。
6._______
eating
解析 句意为：例如，必须吃绿色蔬菜和水果，因为它们含有你的身体有必要摄入的多种维生素和矿物质。此处表示经常的、一般性的动作，应用动名词形式作主语。故填eating。
7.____
are
解析 句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知，that引导定语从句，在句中作主语，设空处与that和形容词necessary构成主系表结构，此处陈述客观事实，用一般现在时；从句的主语关系代词that指代先行词kinds of vitamins and minerals，为复数，所以此处用复数形式。故填are。
8._______
weight
解析 句意为：一定要记得经常锻炼，因为它会燃烧你体内多余的脂肪，帮助你控制体重。设空处被形容词性物主代词your修饰，作介词of的宾语，应用名词。weight意为“体重”时为不可数名词。故填weight。
9._______
which
解析 句意为：此外，许多人每天都进行一些活动，这有助于他们培养思维能力。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个主句，应用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
10._____
truly
解析 句意为：找到一个你真正喜欢的锻炼习惯。设空处修饰动词enjoy，应用副词作状语。故填truly。
