(2020河北邯郸五校联考)
Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.
Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, the language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do.
Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.
When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”.
So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!
1.By saying “the language is their life”, the author means that children 　　　. 
A.can't live without the language
B.lead a happy life every day
C.practise a new language a lot
D.are taken good care of by adults
2.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language?
A.They are afraid of being laughed at.
B.They usually have too many interests.
C.They think making mistakes is natural.
D.They always make different kinds of mistakes.
3.Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?
A.The behaviour they have.
B.The learning attitudes.
C.The future plans they have made.
D.The materials they are using.
4.According to the author, a new language 　　　. 
A.can never be learnt by the old people
B.can be grasped by the old people easily
C.can be understood only by the old people
D.can be learnt by both the old and the young
答案　
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比成年人和儿童学语言的不同情况告诉大家无论什么时候学习一门新的语言都不晚。成年人和儿童都可以学习新的语言,尽管年龄越大,学习一门新的语言会越难。
1.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They study for thousands of hours every year...”可知,他们每年要花费数千个小时学习语言,由此可以推知其意思是指儿童在学习新语言的时候进行了大量的语言练习。故选C项。
2.A　细节理解题。第三段最后一句“This can discourage many people and make it even harder...”中的“This”指代上句“Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language.”,由此可知,成年人学习语言的时候,往往因为追求完美而感到有压力,也就是说,成年人在学习语言时会担心因出错而受到嘲笑。故选A项。
3.B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段至第四段的内容可知,儿童和成年人学习一门新语言的方法不同、态度不同会导致学习结果的不同。故选B项。
4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It's never too late to learn a new language.”可知,什么时候学习一门新的语言都不晚,也就是说成年人和儿童都可以学习新的语言。故D项正确。
Ⅱ.七选五

(2020山东济宁摸底考试)
How similar are language and music?
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 　1　 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. 
Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music.
　2　 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. 
　3　 
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
Both share emotion.
　4　 Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 　5　 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics. 
A.Both are expressive.
B.Both vary with culture.
C.How do you know that I am angry?
D.We use language to express our thoughts.
E.So just as you read English, you can read music.
F.Similarly, music is part of many people's lives.
G.In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.
1.　　　　2.　　　　3.　　　　4.　　　　5.　　　 
答案　
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了语言和音乐的相同之处。
1.F　根据空格前一句可知,语言是我们日常生活中的一部分,空格后一句指出,语言和音乐在我们的文化中都扮演着重要角色,它们有相似之处。因此F项(同样地,音乐也是许多人生活的一部分)即是它们的相似之处,故选F。
2.E　根据空格前的内容可知,英语通过字母表记录语言;空格后则指出,同样,音乐通过音符记录乐章,所以E项(正像你可以读英语一样,你也能读音乐)承上启下,故选E。
3.B　根据空格后本段第一句说听人说话就能猜到他是哪儿的人,第二句说音乐随着文化不同而变化,这说明语言和音乐都随文化而变化,故选B。
4.C　根据空格后一句是回答可知,上一句应该是问句,故C项(你怎么知道我生气了)符合语境,故选C。
5.G　根据空格前一句“When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.”可知G项(与此相反,当你感到沮丧时,你可能会听悲伤的音乐)符合语境,故选G。
Ⅲ.完形填空

(2020湖南名师联盟仿真金卷)
Calligraphy (书法), 　1　 (consider) as one of the unique traditional Chinese arts, has a long history of about 1,000 years. It is not only a tool of cultural communication 　2　 an artistic treasure with shining and extraordinary beauty. As the representative of Chinese art, it 　3　 (know) as the most ancient artistic form in the eastern world. Calligraphy has influenced the world widely and has even been introduced to many neighboring 　4　 (country). 
To practise calligraphy 　5　 (require) the basic tools of four treasures of study as well as much concentration on guiding the soft writing brush charged with fluid ink, and writing on the paper 　6　 the ink will spread quickly. Once the brush movement hesitates, a black mark is created, so speed, 　7　 (strong) and agility (敏捷) are the essence of fine artwork. When writing, many calligraphers will forget all worries and even 　8　 (they), combining all thoughts in the beauty of their art. Thus it also can shape and improve a person's temper and promote well-being. 
Calligraphy, 　9　 a mirror, is a silent reflection of the soul. Today, although various modern ways have been substituted for the original calligraphy, 　10　 (especial) which is created with a writing brush, people still love the ancient form and practise it untiringly. 
1.　　　　2.　　　　3.　　　　4.　　　　5.

答案　
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国书法。

2.but　考查固定搭配。not only...but (also)...表示“不仅……而且……”,故填but。
3.is known　考查动词的时态和语态。句意:作为中国艺术的代表,中国书法被认为是东方世界最古老的艺术形式。此处描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,且it和know之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,故填is known。
4.countries　考查名词复数。此处表示临近的国家,根据空前的many可知,应该用名词复数形式,故填countries。
5.requires　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处是动词不定式作主语,且表示一般情况,故填requires。
6.where　考查定语从句。设空处引导定语从句,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故填where。
7.strength　考查词性转换。此处应用strong的名词形式,与speed和agility作并列主语,故填strength。
8.themselves　考查反身代词。句意:书法家在写书法的时候会忘记忧愁,甚至会忘记他们自己而倾注所有的感情于作品中。主语和宾语形成互指,应填该词的反身代词形式,故填themselves。
9.like　考查介词。句意:书法,像一面镜子,是心灵无声的写照。由语境可知,此处表示“像”,故填介词like。
10.especially　考查词性转换。此处作状语,应该用该词的副词形式,故填especially。
