26、.Now I have learned it.【参考答案】.15BCDDA610CDACB.Passage 1主旨大意这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,通过Vieira一家搬家的故事阐述了多学习一些语言的好处。11.A主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear.(学习多门语言的好处是显而易见的。)”是全文的主旨。故选A。12.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to v
27、isit their family and friends. But they cant communicate with them.(现在Vieira家的孩子们都长大了,他们有时会去西班牙看他们的家人和朋友,但他们没法和他们交流)”可知,这是在描述只会说一门语言带来的问题。故选D。13.C词义猜测题。根据画线词下一句“If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer.(如果来自不同国家的人能够很好地交流,世界会变得更紧密。)”可知,此处的multi-language spe
28、akers指的是“说多种语言的人”。故选C。14.D细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,说多种语言的一个优势就是你可以更好地与世界上的人交流,不用依靠别人来为你转达,所以你更加独立。由此可知D选项正确。15.B细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Its even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.”可知最糟糕的是忘记自己的母语。故选B。Passage 2主旨大意本文是一篇记叙文。一位医生在参加自己孩子葬礼时接到电话匆忙赶到医院做手术,还被不明真相的患者父亲责骂。16.B细节理
29、解题。根据第三段中的“I wasnt in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call”可知,医生当时不在医院,接到电话后尽可能快地赶去了医院。故选B。17.A细节理解题。根据第二段可知,他对医生喊叫是因为他觉得自己等得太久了。故选A。18.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, His son died yesterday in a road accident.”可知,是护士说出了实情。故选B。19.C推理判断题。
30、这位医生忍着失去儿子的痛苦去救病人,所以在得知事实后,这位父亲可能会感到很抱歉。故选C。20.D标题归纳题。本文是在讲一位父亲在没有得知真相的时候就责骂医生。他在做决定前并没有思考,误解了这位伟大的医生,所以选用“决定前先思考”为题合适。故选D。.主旨大意本文讲述了作者小时候,妈妈告诉他做事情要慢一些,而他不理解。直到多年后他有了自己的孩子才明白其中的道理。21.Like此处缺介词,与后两词构成介词短语,且依据句意“像大多数的年轻人”,所以like符合句意。22.out此处缺副词,根据句意“当我的时候,妈妈会大喊”可以推断是“当我出去的时候”。故填out。23.meant此处缺谓语动词。根据句
31、意“我那时候并不知道妈妈说这些意味着什么”可知需用一般过去时。24.stay此处缺动词。根据上文“我出去的时候妈妈会说很多叮嘱的话”可推断“我觉得妈妈就是想让我待在家里”。25.them此处缺宾语,且依据句意“像妈妈那样,我和他们说了同样的话”可知,them代替作者的孩子们。26.began此处缺谓语动词。根据句意“在那个时候,我开始理解我妈妈是在努力帮助我”可知,begin表示“开始”,符合句意。27.lesson根据后文“显然,我还没有学会”可知,“对我来说这是很好的一课”。28.when此处缺连词,且依据句意“当我听到我的电话在厨房响了的时候,我跑出了浴室”可知, when符合句意。29.foot根据后文“X光显示我伤到了两根脚趾”可推断此处指“我伤到了我的左脚”。30.right此处需要形容词,且根据文意可知作者通过自己经历的事情,发现母亲是对的。
