【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,学生在社交媒体上使用英语的方式对其英语写作有消极的影响。
1.C 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“One student said, ‘I visit social media every day. I can’t count. I’m always there. It is very difficult to control my presence there. I truly don’t know what to do.’”可知,这个学生的话表明他缺乏正确使用社交媒体的知识。故选C。
2.D 推理判断题。由文章第三段“We also found that their social media use had resulted in their use of shortened forms of English words—such as ‘4’ in place of ‘for’, ‘u’ in place of ‘you’ and ‘d’ in place of ‘the’—in their writing, including in their English examinations.These are the unacceptable written forms of English.”可知,这项研究显示,学生使用社交媒体导致了令人失望的英语写作表现。故选D。
3.C 词义猜测题。由文章第三段“We also found that their social media use had resulted in their use of shortened forms of English words—such as ‘4’ in place of ‘for’, ‘u’ in place of ‘you’ and ‘d’ in place of ‘the’—in their writing, including in their English examinations.These are the unacceptable written forms of English.”和第四段中by their use of the English language on social media可知,学生使用英语的方式受到了他们在社交媒体上使用英语的方式的负面影响,所以画线词的含义是“被削弱,受到负面影响”。故选C。
4.A 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“We recommend that those involved in education should consider employing teaching practices that take advantage of social media to attract students.This would allow students to learn during their time on social media platforms.Also, teachers should help students choose proper social media sites.They should tell students about the importance and dangers of social media and how to use them, especially for educational purposes.”可知,作者建议教育工作者指导学生将社交媒体作为学习工具来使用。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究表明学习语言不受年龄限制,文章还说明了成年人是更好的学习者的原因及儿童和成年人学习语言时各自的优势等。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, new research suggests that the human brain, a complex organ capable of constant evolution, has potential for higher learning after adolescence (青春期). This means that even if someone doesn’t start learning a second language until later in life, they can still achieve a high level of proficiency (熟练).”可知,新的研究表明即使晚年开始学习语言,仍然能达到高水平,也就是学习语言不受年龄限制。故选D。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, she believes that factors beyond age, such as being deeply engaged in the language, make a bigger difference in language learning success.”可知,Lourdes Ortega认为对语言的深度投入更能提高语言学习能力,再结合选项可知,参加当地的语言小组最符合Lourdes Ortega的观点。故选B。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第三段“On the other hand, adults can use strategies like creating their own memory systems or visualization techniques to learn effectively, but they may find it harder to immerse themselves fully in a new language environment given their well-established native language system.”可知,成年人创建自己的记忆系统或应用可视化技术等策略来有效地学习,也就是他们倾向于以一种战略性的方式学习语言。故选A。
8.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“…and there is always something new and more to learn in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and usage.”可推测出,上文意思是语言是一个动态的或者是变化的系统,所以画线词和changing同义。故选C。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者在一次与外国友人的交流中,没有理解习语的意思,出了丑。由此作者意识到在学习英语的过程中,应该注重英语习语的学习。
1.C 根据上文“One year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms(习语)…”和句中but soon可知,上下文之间是转折关系,说明作者之前不重视英语习语,但后来开始重视并认识到它的重要性。故选C。effect效应;difference区别;importance重要性;source来源。
2.C 根据句中an Englishman on the road可推知,作者之前不认识这个英国人,他们只是碰巧遇到。故选C。use使用;expect期待;happen碰巧;refuse拒绝。
3.A 根据前文“One day, I…to meet an Englishman on the road…”可知,作者是与外国人交谈,故此处应该是外国人感觉很惊讶。故选A。foreigner外国人;teacher教师;student学生;partner伙伴。
4.C 根据句中shaking和语境可知,此处指摇头。故选C。hand手;arm胳膊;head头;body身体。
5.D 根据下文“But soon, ‘You don’t say!’ came to my ears again. I couldn’t…asking, ‘Why do you ask me not to talk about it ’”可知,作者不理解“You don’t say!”的意思,感到很困惑。故选D。worried担心的;uneasy不安的;curious好奇的;confused困惑的。
6.B 根据下文“I had better change it.”可知,作者认为自己选择的话题不合适,决定换一个。故选B。style风格;topic话题;opinion观点;task任务。
7.A 结合常识和句中“…if I leave China without seeing it.”可知,如果外国人来中国没去长城,则会被人笑话。故选A。laugh at嘲笑;run after追逐;rely on依靠;refer to提及。
8.B 结合常识和句中the Great Wall可知,长城是世界奇观之一。故选B。work作品;wonder奇迹,奇观;choice选择;example例子。
9.A 根据上文“But soon, ‘You don’t say!’ came to my ears again.”和句中“Why do you ask me not to talk about it ”可知,作者对外国友人一直说的“You don’t say!”不理解,故忍不住问原因。can’t help doing sth意为“忍不住做某事”。故选A。help帮助;admit承认;regret懊悔;allow允许。
10.D 根据前文“Why do you ask me not to talk about it ”和“‘Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,’ he answered…”可知,作者问外国人为什么不让自己谈论这个话题,外国人非常惊讶地说他没有不让作者说这个话题。故选D。naturally自然地;purposely故意地;hardly几乎不;greatly极大地,非常。

A
Social media networks have been shown to have greatly changed students’ social behaviour. But the relationship between social media and students’ English language writing has been largely ignored (忽视). So our team of four researchers studied one English as a Second Language (ESL) class at Fiaseman Senior High School in Tarkwa, southwestern Ghana. Our research focused on a Form 2 class, made up of 47 students aged 17 and 18 on average. It was one of the largest classes in the school, which offered English as a general subject.
The study found that the students spent really long periods of time on various social media platforms (平台). But most of the sites they visited were not about learning. That was worrying. One student said, “I visit social media every day. I can’t count. I’m always there. It is very difficult to control my presence there. I truly don’t know what to do.”
We also found that their social media use had resulted in their use of shortened forms of English words—such as “4” in place of “for”, “u” in place of “you” and “d” in place of “the”—in their writing, including in their English examinations. These are the unacceptable written forms of English.
We concluded that the way in which English is being used in examinations by students is being undermined by their use of the English language on social media. This is a growing trend (趋势) that will see students struggle to get ahead in the subject, as more formal English language writing is needed for examinations and further studies.
We recommend that those involved in education should consider employing teaching practices that take advantage of social media to attract students. This would allow students to learn during their time on social media platforms. Also, teachers should help students choose proper social media sites. They should tell students about the importance and dangers of social media and how to use them, especially for educational purposes.
( )1.What do we know from the student’s words in Paragraph 2
A.He used social media for educational purposes.
B.He was worried about his privacy on social media.
C.He lacked the knowledge of properly using social media.
D.He was interested in new information on social media.
( )2.What has students’ social media use led to according to the study
A.Creativity in English expressions.
B.More chances to master new words.
C.Increased competition among them.
D.Disappointing English writing performance.
( )3.What does the underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Improved slowly.
B.Proven scientifically.
C.Influenced negatively.
D.Corrected effectively.
( )4.What does the author suggest doing
A.Guiding students in using social media as a learning tool.
B.Encouraging students to join in outdoor activities regularly.
C.Limiting the time of students’ using their phones strictly.
D.Providing different online courses for students.
B [2025·浙江省A9协作体高一期中]
It’s long been thought that the earlier you start learning new skills, the easier they are to pick up. However, new research suggests that the human brain, a complex organ capable of constant evolution, has potential for higher learning after adolescence (青春期). This means that even if someone doesn’t start learning a second language until later in life, they can still achieve a high level of proficiency (熟练).
“Research says that adults are better learners because we have a lot of self-regulation and we’re very determined when we want to learn something,” says Lourdes Ortega, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. However, she believes that factors beyond age, such as being deeply engaged in the language, make a bigger difference in language learning success.
That said, children and adults do have their own unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning a new language. Children tend to learn new languages more naturally, often through play and without relying on translation tools. They adapt quickly but might lack structured learning methods. On the other hand, adults can use strategies like creating their own memory systems or visualization techniques to learn effectively, but they may find it harder to immerse themselves fully in a new language environment given their well-established native language system.
Still, Joshua Hartshorne, a research associate professor at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, says, “Language is a dynamic system, and there is always something new and more to learn in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and usage. People have been believing that you have got as good as you’re going to get in a new language within four or five years. But what we saw was actually that, as people continue learning for about 30 years, they continue to get better.”
( )5.What does the new research show
A.Children have great ability to learn new skills.
B.Early childhood is the best time to learn languages.
C.The human brain is a complex organ in learning a language.
D.Learning a language well is not limited by the learner’s age.
( )6.What practice best improves the language learning according to Lourdes Ortega
A.Reviewing vocabulary frequently.
B.Joining a local language group.
C.Setting clear goals for language learning.
D.Taking various language courses.
( )7.What advantage do adults have over children in learning a new language
A.They tend to learn languages in a strategic way.
B.They have developed a personal memory system.
C.They have formed a structured learning method.
D.They are given a well-established native language system.
( )8.What does the underlined word “dynamic” probably mean in the last paragraph
A.Confusing. B.Advanced.
C.Changing. D.Detailed.
