【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 heir mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard: Will my baby be able to learn my language? Be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is: no. New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who could have been able to understand a sentence like this: Click here to download your digital book.? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it. Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue...and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon(現(xiàn)象) and don39。t think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue. You need to learn only 2000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can39。t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(記憶群). The first few words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.（1）From the first paragraph, we can infer that ______. A.there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageB.it is honest to answer no to a question you don39。t knowC.a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD.people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language（2）To learn a foreign language, the author advises you ______. remember new words appearing every day keep up with new ways of using old words learn at least 2,000 necessary words pay more attention to your bad memory（3）The author39。s attitude to mnemonics is________. （4）The passage is mainly about ______. old words in a new way new words from the context a method to memorize vocabulary vocabulary of a foreign language【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，很多學習外語的人都有一個困惑是否要記憶足夠多的單詞，作者的回答是不，文章告訴人們應該掌握多少個基本單詞，且不能為了學習這些必要的單詞而逃避一些工作，以及依靠任何基于助記法的方法都是不明智的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“To be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is‘No’．“說實話，你知道你母語的所有單詞嗎?答案是:不?？芍?，一個人既然連自己的母語的詞匯都不可能全部認識，那么在學習外語時，也就沒有必要記住所有的詞匯。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“You need to learn only 2，000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.”你只需要學習2000個左右的基本單詞就能創(chuàng)造出任何你需要的短語?？芍獮榱藢W習一門外語，作者建議你至少學習2000個必要的單詞。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics.”依靠任何基于記憶術的方法都是不明智的?？芍髡邔τ洃浶g的態(tài)度是反對的。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“When it es to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary.”當談到學習一門外語時，許多人想知道他們是否能記住足夠的詞匯。以及文章主要內(nèi)容圍繞學習外語時的詞匯量問題，所以短文主要是關于學習一門外語的詞匯量。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Stepinac has bee one of the first high schools in the country to drop all textbooks and replace them with a digital library. When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their tablets or laptops and bad instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum (課程). Dennis Lauro, director of an information center which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. This is the wave of the future. Lauro said. I39。m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it es to a move like that, needing approval from boards and mittees. For Tom Collins, Stepinac39。s president, the mitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students39。 families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the onetime purchase of a tablet or laptop — families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in. The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental disfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave spaceeating photos and music off their tablets — and to keep their tablets charged. （1）What is going on in Stepinac?
