It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language, it's a sign that we are making progress in learning that language. But is it true
Before we can look at multilingual (多语言的) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The link between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our mother tongue. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language, but if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word, we need to link it to our existing knowledge. “In order to do that, we need to have some sleep,” says Gareth Gaskell, a psychology professor at the University of York.
It's during sleep that the integration of old and new knowledge happens. At night, one part of our brain the hippocampus takes whatever new information it got in the day, and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but it's entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect two languages, according to Marc Zuist, researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry in Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to master a new word or phrase, but it could also have an emotional significance. Danuta Barker, a professor of psycholinguistics (心理语言学) at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a native-like speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you're trying to learn a new language, you should definitely sleep on it.
( ) 14. Which of the following does Gareth agree with
A. Adults are better at learning.
B. We can learn words while sleeping.
C. Our existing knowledge is from dreams.
D. Multilingual dreams have nothing to do with progress.
( ) 15. What does the underlined word “integration” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Method. B. Form. C. Combination. D. Reflection.
( ) 16. What does Danuta Barker study
A. Emotion and dreams. B. Languages and communities.
C. Universities and courses. D. Words and expressions.
( ) 17. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Why we learn a foreign language in the dream.
B. Learning languages is completely from sleeping.
C. Sleeping plays an important part in the development of brains.
D. How multilingual dreams are connected to language learning.
C
Full stops (句号) frighten young people when used in social media communication as they are seen as a sign of anger, according to language experts. Teenagers and those in their early twenties, known as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops.
According to experts, youngsters would break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than use a full stop, which they use only to show they are annoyed.
Some have said the full stop is not necessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it. “If you send a text message without a full stop, it's already obvious that you've ended the message,” said language expert Dr. Lauren Fonteyn. “So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it is possible to be a negative tone(语气).”
However, Owen McArdle, a leading language expert, said, “I'm not sure whether I agree about emails without full stops. I guess it depends on how formal they are and what kind of messages are expressed.”
The possible change in the meaning of the full stop, connected with online communication, has been debated by language experts for years. In 2015, a study from Binghamton University in New York, which surveyed 126 university students, suggested that people who finish messages with full stops are viewed as insincere.
“Looking at any instant messaging exchange online, you will find young people simply do not put full stops in, unless they want to make a point,” said Dr. Lauren Fonteyn. “The full stop has become an ‘emotion marker’ which tells the recipient (收件人) that the person who sends the message is annoyed.”
( ) 18. What do we know about teenagers from the text
A. They are used to using full stops to end sentences.
B. They use full stops in social media to frighten people.
C. They don't use full stops when sending messages.
D. They have trouble reading text messages without full stops.
( ) 19. What do people think of the full stop according to Paragraph 3
A. They think the full stop is interesting.
B. They think the full stop is unnecessary.
C. They think the full stop is important.
D. They think the full stop is unacceptable.
( ) 20. Which of the following agrees with Owen McArdle's opinion
A. Context is the key and full stops are still important in emails.
B. Full stops should be used after every word of the text messages.
C. The meaning of text messages will be influenced without full stops.
D. People might be annoyed when receiving text messages with full stops.
( ) 21. What does a text message with full stops suggest according to many young people
A. The sender is sincere. B. The sender is angry.
C. The recipient is less sincere. D. The recipient is annoyed.
D
You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded (入侵) what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England's rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word “college”. In English, college can often be used in place of the word “university”, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word “chat” is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word “chat” is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, “jolie” means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
( ) 22. What does the author stress about the French words in English
A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history.
C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings.
( ) 23. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat
A. He likes a kind of pet — cat. B. He wants to have a talk.
C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French.
( ) 24. What is the French word “jolie” used to do
A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people's looks.
C. Refer to people's happiness. D. Prove the change in French.
( ) 25. What is the text mainly about
A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English.
C. French words in English. D. Development of English.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Learning a new language is an exciting but challenging journey. There are several difficulties that language learners often face.
Complex Grammar
Different languages have their own unique grammatical rules. 26 For example, in English, the order of words in a sentence is important for expressing the correct meaning. However, in Japanese or Russian, the word order can be more flexible (灵活的). This difference can make it difficult for learners to form correct sentences and express themselves accurately (准确地).
Pronunciation Challenges
Each language has its own set of sounds. For example, the French “r” sound or the German “ü” sound can be extremely difficult for English speakers to pronounce correctly. What's more, the stress of a language can also affect the meaning of a word or a sentence. 27
Limited Vocabulary
Building a large enough vocabulary is necessary for effective language learning. 28 Some languages have a great number of words. Besides, many words may have several meanings or small differences that are difficult to understand. For example, in Chinese, a single character can have different meanings depending on the context.
Cultural Differences
29 Idioms, proverbs (谚语), and expressions in a language often show the culture and history of the people who speak it. For example, the English idiom “it’s raining cats and dogs” may not make sense to a learner who doesn't know much about Western cultures.
Few Chances to Practise
Learners need regular chances to practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing. However, they may not be able to meet native speakers or stay in a language environment. 30 For example, if a person is learning a language that is not widely spoken in their country, it may be challenging to find practice partners or language learning resources.
A. Language is closely related to culture. B. It can be difficult to find chances to practise speaking. C. Mistakes in pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. D. Learning a new language can be a worthwhile experience. E. However, learning new words can be a slow and hard process. F. This can make it difficult for them to improve their language skills. G. They can be extremely different from those of a learner's native language.

Dear fellow students,
Standardised Chinese character writing is of great significance. It not only helps convey information clearly but also reflects Chinese culture. A neat and standardised writing can leave a good impression on others.
Here are some suggestions. First, practise regularly with copybooks, making it a routine. Second, it's very important to pay attention to the structure and strokes of each character. Third, for those who don't have a right posture, it's suggested that they should keep a proper writing posture and a pen-holding gesture.
Let's take action now to improve our Chinese character writing and spread our excellent traditional culture.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Learning a new language is an exciting but challenging journey. There are several difficulties that language learners often face.
Complex Grammar
Different languages have their own unique grammatical rules. 26 For example, in English, the order of words in a sentence is important for expressing the correct meaning. However, in Japanese or Russian, the word order can be more flexible (灵活的). This difference can make it difficult for learners to form correct sentences and express themselves accurately (准确地).
Pronunciation Challenges
Each language has its own set of sounds. For example, the French “r” sound or the German “ü” sound can be extremely difficult for English speakers to pronounce correctly. What's more, the stress of a language can also affect the meaning of a word or a sentence. 27
Limited Vocabulary
Building a large enough vocabulary is necessary for effective language learning. 28 Some languages have a great number of words. Besides, many words may have several meanings or small differences that are difficult to understand. For example, in Chinese, a single character can have different meanings depending on the context.
Cultural Differences
29 Idioms, proverbs (谚语), and expressions in a language often show the culture and history of the people who speak it. For example, the English idiom “it’s raining cats and dogs” may not make sense to a learner who doesn't know much about Western cultures.
Few Chances to Practise
Learners need regular chances to practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing. However, they may not be able to meet native speakers or stay in a language environment. 30 For example, if a person is learning a language that is not widely spoken in their country, it may be challenging to find practice partners or language learning resources.
A. Language is closely related to culture. B. It can be difficult to find chances to practise speaking. C. Mistakes in pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. D. Learning a new language can be a worthwhile experience. E. However, learning new words can be a slow and hard process. F. This can make it difficult for them to improve their language skills. G. They can be extremely different from those of a learner's native language.

Dear fellow students,
Standardised Chinese character writing is of great significance. It not only helps convey information clearly but also reflects Chinese culture. A neat and standardised writing can leave a good impression on others.
Here are some suggestions. First, practise regularly with copybooks, making it a routine. Second, it's very important to pay attention to the structure and strokes of each character. Third, for those who don't have a right posture, it's suggested that they should keep a proper writing posture and a pen-holding gesture.
Let's take action now to improve our Chinese character writing and spread our excellent traditional culture.
