Ⅰ．阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2．5分，满分10分)
Polyglots(通晓数种语言的人) are all around us．However，becoming a polyglot doesn't just happen．It takes time，but it doesn't take forever if you know the ways of the trade．Here are some tips from top multi linguists on how to learn dialects more quickly．
Tim Ferris says that the first thing you must do when learning a new language is to “deconstruct” it to see how similar it is to your native tongue．Grammatically speaking，the closer the language is to yours，the faster you will pick it up．For example，English speakers will find Chinese more difficult than，say，Spanish，German and French because the English language borrows a lot of words from its Greek and Latin roots．
Being abroad in a foreign country and being immersed(沉浸) in a language are not the same thing．I know a lot of people who have lived overseas for years and hardly picked up the language．Even if you're living in a foreign country，there isn't anything that will make you learn languages more quickly than if you were living at home; make sure you must use the language every single day．
Alexander Arguelles promotes the “scriptorium technique”．He says that you should “read a sentence aloud; say each word aloud again as you write it; and then read the sentence aloud as you have written it”．The whole purpose of this exercise is to force you to slow down and pay attention to detail．This is the stage at which you should check all unknowns in the dictionary．
While it's fair to say that prolonged exposure(接触) to words and sounds effectively “burns” them into your brain，there comes a point in every young language learner's life when you will simply forget a word you've heard a hundred times before．Ferris suggests a way to reduce experiences like this is to expand(扩大) your vocabulary using mnemonics(记忆术)．He says if you create a mnemonic for a target word，it will help glue the word to your memory more effectively．
1．Why do English speakers find Chinese more difficult to learn
A．Because there are few similarities between English and Chinese．
B．Because English has nothing in common with Chinese．
C．Because Chinese borrows a lot of words from Greek and Latin．
D．Because there are no keywords in the language of Chinese．
2．In the author's opinion，if you want to learn a foreign language well，what should you do
A．Live in your native country．
B．Be abroad in a foreign country．
C．Use it to communicate with others．
D．Find a native speaker to teach you．
3．What does Alexander Arguelles' technique focus on
A．Listing keywords．
B．Fast reading and writing．
C．Writing while speaking．
D．Reading and guessing unknown words．
4．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph mean
A．Expanding your vocabulary．
B．Forgetting a very familiar word．
C．Listening to a word a hundred times．
D．Exposure to words and sounds frequently．
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2．5分，满分12．5分)
Fun Ways to Learn English Faster
Read，read，read
One of the easiest things you can do to learn English faster is to read as much as you can． 1 ．This will make your vocabulary better and it will also help you learn grammar and slang(俚语)．
Watch movies
Watching movies will also help you improve your English，by helping you to hear what it sounds like and also helping you to learn new words． 2 ．Once you have a basic vocabulary，try to keep the subtitles(字幕) off and focus on listening for the words you do know and guessing the words you don't know from what is happening on the screen．
Sing songs
Learning and singing songs is another good way to make your English better． 3 ．It will also help increase your vocabulary．Find a song you like，learn it，and learn what the lyrics(歌词) mean．
4
You can also just make friends with English language speakers online and chat，email，and Skype together in order to practise your English．They are willing to do this． 5 ．
A．Make a friend
B．Join a fan community
C．Read things all the time

Ⅲ．完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

能力提升
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习语言的一些建议。
1．A [细节理解题。根据第二段中“Grammatically speaking，the closer the language is to yours，the faster you will pick it up．For example，English speakers will find Chinese more difficult than，say，Spanish，German and French because the English language borrows a lot of words from its Greek and Latin roots．”可知，说英语的人发现汉语更难学，因为英语和汉语之间几乎没有相似之处。故选A。]
2．C [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Being abroad in a foreign country and being immersed in a language are not the same thing．”以及“make sure you must use the language every single day”可知，如果你想学好一门外语，就要用它来和别人交流。故选C。]
3．C [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He says that you should ‘read a sentence aloud; say each word aloud again as you write it; and then read the sentence aloud as you have written it’．”可知，Alexander Arguelles的技巧是边说边写。故选C。]
4．B [代词指代题。根据上句“在每个年轻的语言学习者的生活中，总有那么一刻，你会忘记一个你听过上百次的单词”以及画线处前的“Ferris提出了一种减少这种体验的方法”可知，this指代上文中的“忘记一个非常熟悉的单词”这种情况。故选B。]
Ⅱ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了几种较快学习英语的方法。
1．C [此处讲阅读有助于快速学英语。C项“一直阅读东西”符合语境，承接上文说明要不断阅读。下文的“this”指代空处说的“一直阅读”，说明“一直阅读会让你的词汇量更丰富，也会帮助你学习语法和俚语”。故选C项。]
2．E [此处主要建议在不看字幕的情况下看电影学英语。E项“你可以打开字幕开始观看”符合语境，说明打开字幕观看了解一些基本词汇，然后再关掉字幕。故选E项。]
3．F [此处说明唱歌可以增加你的词汇量，结合前文“学习和唱歌是提高英语水平的另一个好方法”可知，此处讲述通过唱歌快乐学英语带来的两个好处，F项“这将帮助你改善发音”符合语境，说明唱歌学英语的一个好处。故选F项。]
4．A [空处为段落小标题。根据下文“你也可以在网上和说英语的人交朋友、一起聊天、发邮件和一起用Skype通话来练习你的英语。他们愿意这么做”可知，这里主要讲通过交友来提高英语。A项“交个朋友”符合语境。故选A项。]
5．D [根据上文“你也可以在网上和说英语的人交朋友、一起聊天、发邮件和一起用Skype通话来练习你的英语。他们愿意这么做”可知，此处讲述如何通过交朋友快乐学英语，可以一起聊天，发邮件等来练习英语，因此推断D项“你想谈什么都可以”符合语境。故选D。]
Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者学习中文的经历，作者认为学习中文最难的部分是区分音调，为此还发生了一个小误会。
1．B [根据上文“I am often asked how I learned to speak Chinese fluently．”以及后文“about learning Chinese for me”可知，作者虽然如今汉语说得很流利，但是实际上也遇到过困难。故选B。]

4．C [根据后文“I wanted to buy a gift for my ‘horse’”可知，作者想要给母亲买礼物。故选C。]
5．C [根据前文“‘horse’ and ‘mother’”以及常识可知，这两个词只有一个音调的区别。故选C。]

12．A [根据后文“just like a native speaker”可知，作者的中文说得流利了，像一个母语人士一样。故选A。]
13．D [后文提到“当我在一个说英语的环境中学习中文时，我和我的同学在彼此说话时经常弄混音调”，这是作者学习中文以后得出的经验之谈。故选D。]
14．B [根据前文“in an English speaking environment”可知，在一个说英语的环境中学习中文，因为大家的母语都是英语，所以作者和同学在彼此说话时经常弄混音调。故选B。]
