You become more perceptive.
A study from Spain shows that multilingual(多种语言的)people are better at observing their surroundings.They are better at focusing related information and editing out the unrelated.(2) Is it any surprise that Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot know several kinds of languages?
You build multitasking skills.
Multilingual people,especially children,are skilled at switching between two systems of speech,writing,and structure.(3) The research found that people who spoke more than one language made fewer errors in their driving.
(4)
Educators often compare the brain to a muscle,because it functions better with exercise.Learning a language involves memorizing rules and vocabulary,which helps strengthen that mental "muscle".This exercise improves overall memory,which means that multiple language speakers are better at remembering lists or sequences.
If you haven't spoken a foreign tongue since your A levels,your brain might not be gaining these bilingual benefits.(5) People who begin language study in their adult lives can still achieve the same levels of fluency as a young learner,and still gain the same mental benefits,too.

3.
Grow Your Vocabulary by Learning Root(词根) Words
English is called one of the most difficult languages for non﹣native speakers.One reason is that English has so many rules and almost as many exceptions of those rules.Sometimes,this leaves learners confused(困惑的).(1) Not all words can be pronounced by their spelling.And,maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms,or expressions in English.(2) That is why there are many funny mistakes resulting from the misuse of idioms.
(3) A root word is the most basic form of a word.Root words can help you to break down large,new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.(4) As a result,by learning 20 or 30 root words,you can enlarge your English vocabulary to include hundreds of new words.
A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning:the beginning,middle or end prefixes(前缀),bases,and suffixes(后缀)are types of roots.The prefix appears at the beginning of a word,the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.(5) One simple method is to first look at a base word and then look for familiar prefixes and suffixes that go with that base.For familiar prefixes and suffixes that go with that base.For example,the word "construct" is a verb that means "to build".The prefix "con﹣" means "together" or "with".So ,"construct" means "to put things together to build or create something".
A.Another reason is related to the English pronunciation.
B.You can say we use idioms like they're going out of style.
C.The second difficulty lies in the spelling of the English words.
D.Having a good knowledge of grammar is also useful for English learners.
E.Building vocabulary through root words is quite useful for English learners.
F.Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English.
G.However,it's comforting to know learning root words can help English learners.
4.When the Home Office says that it's worrying about bars that encourage people to drink when they're already drunk,it means that the problem of drinking is about people falling over in city centers.(1) However,the latter is a more difficult issue.
There are plenty of drunken people who are a bit unsteady going upstairs to bed and don't break anything.The biggest change in their drinking habits is the increase in the drinking of wine,most of which is drunk at home.This is what will stop us becoming a 24 hour pub society.(2) The British are good at staying at home﹣most people now have informal dining kitchens,which encourage informal eating and drinking.(3) It doesn't sound unreasonable,but the Department of Health would say that it adds up to a health problem.Yet this has become the cultural standard for all generations.The great rise in alcohol consumption(消费)from the 1980s is considered to be down to women drinking,partly reflecting their increasing importance as wage earners.(4)
(5) Today,the number of people who say that they don't drink in this country is rising,probably because of incentives offered by insurance companies.It's probably the case that those who do drink are drinking more,possibly because of the recession.
A.Why not have a nice meal and open a bottle of wine?
B.People are happy drinking at home,where they don't pay pub prices.
C.Will British drinkers take any notice of the government?
D.What the Home Office is talking about is the link between drinking and social order,rather than drinking and health.
E.The change in attitudes to drink driving in recent years shows that this can happen.
F.There is a strong connection between the economy and alcohol consumption in Britain.
G.Drinking at home seems safer for many women than going to a pub.

Relax and enjoy yourself!

(5)
When flood waters end,the damage left behind can be dangerous.Don't enter a flood﹣damaged house or building until you're allowed by authorities(官方).If you enter a flood﹣damaged building,its ceiling(天花板) may fall,its gas may run out and the live power lines can be deadly,which is too dangerous.

An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house.The idea is to get outside quickly and safely.(2) So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.
Stay low
If you can see smoke in the house,stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.(3) You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground.Smoke naturally rises,so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route,staying low means you can crawl(爬)under most of it.
What if you can't get out right away?
If you can't get out fast because fire or smoke is stopping an escape route,you will want to yell for help.You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you.(4) Then,firefighters will have a hard time finding you.The sooner they find you,the sooner you both can get out.
If your clothes catch fire,what should you do?
Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle.If this happens,don't run!Instead,stop,drop to the ground,cover your face with your hands,and roll.This will cut off the air and put out the flames.(5)

A baby's smile has the same effect.Have you ever been in a doctor's waiting room and looked around at all the sad faces waiting impatiently to be seen?There were six or seven patients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine﹣month﹣old baby.She sat down next to a gentle man who was more than a little impatient about the long wait for service.The baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies.(2) Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and the boredom and tension were changed into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
The effect of a smile is powerful,even when it is unseen.Telephone companies throughout the US have a program called "phone power" which is offered to employees who use the telephone for selling their services or products.In this program they suggest that you smile when talking on the phone.(3)
You don't feel like smiling?(4) If you are alone,force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing.Act as if you were already happy,and that will lend to make you happy.
Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill.(5) To someone who has seen a dozen people frown or turn their faces away,your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds.Especially when that someone is under pressure from his bosses,his customers,his teachers or parents or children,a smile can help him realize that all is not hopeless ﹣ that there is joy in the world.

A Few Tips for Self﹣Acceptance

(1) Do not follow the people who make you feel not﹣good﹣enough.Why do you follow them?Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
(2) We are often ashamed of our shortcomings,our mistakes and our failures.Remember,you are only human.You will make mistakes,time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心的)response?"That didn't go as planned.But,I tried my best."
(3) Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strengths before weaknesses.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earned your degree,and you got out of bed today. (4)
(5) Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don't feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.Feeling upset again?Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are?
A.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
B.Now that you've listed your strengths,list your imperfections.
C.Others' encouragement can contribute to your self﹣acceptance.
D.Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.

Grow Your Vocabulary by Learning Root(词根) Words
English is called one of the most difficult languages for non﹣native speakers.One reason is that English has so many rules and almost as many exceptions of those rules.Sometimes,this leaves learners confused(困惑的).(1) A Not all words can be pronounced by their spelling.And,maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms,or expressions in English.(2) B That is why there are many funny mistakes resulting from the misuse of idioms.
(3) G A root word is the most basic form of a word.Root words can help you to break down large,new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.(4) F As a result,by learning 20 or 30 root words,you can enlarge your English vocabulary to include hundreds of new words.
A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning:the beginning,middle or end prefixes(前缀),bases,and suffixes(后缀)are types of roots.The prefix appears at the beginning of a word,the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.(5) E One simple method is to first look at a base word and then look for familiar prefixes and suffixes that go with that base.For familiar prefixes and suffixes that go with that base.For example,the word "construct" is a verb that means "to build".The prefix "con﹣" means "together" or "with".So ,"construct" means "to put things together to build or create something".
A.Another reason is related to the English pronunciation.
B.You can say we use idioms like they're going out of style.
C.The second difficulty lies in the spelling of the English words.
D.Having a good knowledge of grammar is also useful for English learners.
E.Building vocabulary through root words is quite useful for English learners.
F.Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English.
G.However,it's comforting to know learning root words can help English learners.

4.When the Home Office says that it's worrying about bars that encourage people to drink when they're already drunk,it means that the problem of drinking is about people falling over in city centers.(1) D However,the latter is a more difficult issue.
There are plenty of drunken people who are a bit unsteady going upstairs to bed and don't break anything.The biggest change in their drinking habits is the increase in the drinking of wine,most of which is drunk at home.This is what will stop us becoming a 24 hour pub society.(2) B The British are good at staying at home﹣most people now have informal dining kitchens,which encourage informal eating and drinking.(3) A It doesn't sound unreasonable,but the Department of Health would say that it adds up to a health problem.Yet this has become the cultural standard for all generations.The great rise in alcohol consumption(消费)from the 1980s is considered to be down to women drinking,partly reflecting their increasing importance as wage earners.(4) G
(5) F Today,the number of people who say that they don't drink in this country is rising,probably because of incentives offered by insurance companies.It's probably the case that those who do drink are drinking more,possibly because of the recession.

8.Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home?Take the time now to review the following safety tips,and your family will be prepared in time of a fire in your home:
(1) A
An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house.The idea is to get outside quickly and safely.(2) D So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.
Stay low
If you can see smoke in the house,stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.(3) G You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground.Smoke naturally rises,so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route,staying low means you can crawl(爬)under most of it.
What if you can't get out right away?
If you can't get out fast because fire or smoke is stopping an escape route,you will want to yell for help.You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you.(4) F Then,firefighters will have a hard time finding you.The sooner they find you,the sooner you both can get out.
If your clothes catch fire,what should you do?
Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle.If this happens,don't run!Instead,stop,drop to the ground,cover your face with your hands,and roll.This will cut off the air and put out the flames.(5) C
A.Know your way out
B.Preventing fires is in the first place!
C.An easy way to remember this is:Stop,Drop,and Roll!
D.Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are.

(4)C 考查上下文逻辑关系.根据本空前的"Try to create a sleep time tradition that you can perform every night before bed so that you get into the habit."为第二天做好准备会帮助你放松,更快地入睡.可知,此处承接上文,将帮助你每晚在预期的时间上床睡觉,说的是这样做的好处.所以选C.
(5)A 考查上下文逻辑关系.根据本段内容,特别是"Feeling ready for the next day will help you relax and fall asleep more quickly."为第二天做好准备会帮助你放松更快地入睡.可知,本段讲的是睡前为第二天做好准备对睡眠的好处.所以选A.

【答案】BCGAF
【分析】视力在我们的日常生活中起着非常重要的作用。在每一个醒着的时刻,眼睛都在努力观察我们周围的世界。本文提到五条建议可以让你终生保持健康的视力。包括:安排年度检测;防紫外线;安全佩戴和护理隐形眼镜;吃你的青菜。
【解答】(1)B.细节理解题.根据后一句"Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check"可知,专家建议家长带孩子年龄为6~12个月仔细检查,所以可推测前文要提到从保护眼睛.所以表示"眼睛护理应该在生命早期就开始"的选项B符合上下文的逻辑关系,故选B.
(2)C.细节理解题.前文提到"it's extremely important to wear sunglasses"戴墨镜很重要,可推测空白处会写戴墨镜的好处.所以表示"它们能很好地保护你的眼睛"的选项C符合上下文的逻辑关系,故选C.
(3)G.细节理解题.根据前文提到"Two﹣thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products"可知,美国人用眼非常频繁.通读选项,G(频繁的眼部活动会增加眼睛疲劳的风险),提到了频繁用眼.故选G.
(4)A.主旨大意题.作为全段的主旨句,此空白处用来总结全段大意.通读此段可知,此段落As part of a healthy diet,eat more fruits and vegetables each day.Vitamin C and vitamin E help protect eyesight and promote eye health讲述了人们可经常吃水果蔬菜来保护视力.所以表示"吃你的青菜"的选项A符合上下文的逻辑关系,故选A.
(5)F.推理判断题.本段讲述的是隐形眼镜对视力的影响.前文提到"While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses,"一些人为了带隐形眼镜而去看医疗指导,后文又提到"you may have problems such as red eyes,pain in the eyes,or a more serious condition"你会遇到一些眼类疾病.可推测空白处应提到医疗指导.所以表示"请务必按照医生的建议正确穿戴"的选项F符合上下文的逻辑关系,故选F.
【点评】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。我们做题时优先选择句式以及上下词之间的呼应关系。
