My father started learning French at 57,drawn by the ptential benefits f bilingualism(雙語能力) in delaying dementia(失智癥).Nw,20 years later,he’s n his third teacher.Many peple like my father have attempted t pick up a new language.But can this really bst brain health?
Accrding t experts,regularly using a new language brings cgnitive(認(rèn)知) benefits.If yu’re trying t recall the right wrds in anther language,yur brain is frced t inhibit yur mther tngue.This prcess,called cgnitive inhibitin,helps imprve yur brain functin.Repeating this prcess makes yur brain mre resistant t diseases like dementia.The mre yu challenge yur brain,the better it functins,even if yur brain health starts t decline.
Hwever,evidence fr the benefits f learning a secnd language in yur 60s is weaker.Research by Dr.Le Antniu fund that lder Italians wh tk English lessns fr fur mnths didn’t see any difference in their cgnitin scres,but peple wh didn’t saw their scres Smith’s 2023 studies fund similar results.
Researchers ffered a few ptential explanatins fr their disappinting results.One is that the participants were highly mtivated vlunteers,prbably f high cgnitive level fr their age,making it hard t see any imprvements.“When chsing participants,we have t be careful,are they really representative f the ppulatin?” said Dr.Judith Ware.Anther is that the language interventins were perhaps t shrt.These studies have used language lessns that “were very different in their length and frequency,” said Prf.Laura Grssman.
T Dr.Antniu,the limited findings are nt entirely surprising.N ne wuld say that learning a new language fr six mnths wuld be the same as having used tw languages fr yur entire life.But he des think that language lessns can prvide cgnitive benefits by being cgnitively stimulating.
Perhaps mre imprtant,Prf.Grssman said,learning anther language ffers ther ptential advantages,like traveling r cnnecting with new cmmunities.My father,fr example,has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled t France numerus times.
And at 76,he’s as sharp as ever.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要討論了學(xué)習(xí)新語言是否能提高大腦健康,尤其是對于年紀(jì)較大的人來說,是否能延緩失智癥的發(fā)生。
8.What happens in the prcess f “cgnitive inhibitin”?

解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的“If yu’re trying cgnitive inhibitin,helps imprve yur brain functin.”可知,認(rèn)知抑制的過程中,母語被抑制。
9.Which is a pssible explanatin fr the disappinting research results?
A.The pr chice f research participants.
B.The great length f the language curse.
C.The interventin f the first language.
D.The age difference f the research subjects.
答案 A
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的“One is it hard t see any imprvements.”可知,研究結(jié)果不盡人意的一個可能的解釋是研究參與者的選擇不佳。
10.Whse pinin des the authr supprt by mentining his father’s experience?
A.Le Antniu’s.
B.Diana Smith’s.
C.Laura Grssman’s.
D.Judith Ware’s.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段尾句和第七段內(nèi)容可知,作者通過提到他父親的經(jīng)歷來支持Laura Grssman的觀點(diǎn),即學(xué)習(xí)另一種語言提供了其他潛在的優(yōu)勢,如旅行或與新的社區(qū)建立聯(lián)系。
11.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A.Is it never t late t learn a new language?
B.Can learning a new language delay dementia?

I had t say smething after reading The Anxius Generatin.It is ging t sell well,because Jnathan Haidt is telling a scary stry abut children’s develpment many parents are led t believe.Hwever,the bk’s repeated suggestin that digital technlgies are rewiring ur children’s brains and causing the epidemic(流行病) f mental illness is unsupprted by science.Wrse,the rude prpsal that scial media is t blame might distract(分心) us frm effectively respnding t the real causes f the current mental-health crisis in yung peple.
Researchers have searched fr the effects suggested by Haidt.Our effrts have prduced a mix f n,small and mixed assciatins.Mst data are crrelative.When assciatins ver time are fund,they suggest nt that scial-media use predicts r causes depressin,but that yung peple wh already have mental-health prblems use such platfrms mre ften r in different ways frm their healthy peers.
We are nt alne here.Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize n the same message.An analysis dne in 72 cuntries shws n cnsistent r measurable assciatins between well-being and scial media glbally.Mrever,studies frm sme authrities finds n evidence f intense changes assciated with digital-technlgy use.
As a psychlgist studying children’s and adlescents’ mental health,I appreciate parents’ frustratin(沮喪) and desire fr simple answers.As a parent f adlescents,I wuld als like t identify a simple surce fr the pain this generatin is reprting.There are,hwever,n simple answers.The beginning and develpment f mental disrders are driven by a cmplex set f genetic and envirnmental factrs.
Mre yung peple are talking penly abut their mental-health struggles than ever befre.But insufficient services are available t address their needs.In the United States,there is,n average,ne schl psychlgist fr every 1,119 students.We have a generatin in crisis and in desperate need f the best f what science and evidence-based slutins can ffer.Unfrtunately,ur time is being spent telling stries that are unsupprted by research and that d little t supprt yung peple wh need,and deserve,mre.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇議論文。作者認(rèn)為《焦慮的一代》一書提出的數(shù)字技術(shù)導(dǎo)致兒童大腦重構(gòu)和精神健康危機(jī)的觀點(diǎn)缺乏科學(xué)依據(jù)。作者強(qiáng)調(diào),精神障礙的成因復(fù)雜,需要基于科學(xué)和證據(jù)的解決方案,而不是簡單歸咎于社交媒體。
12.What is presented in The Anxius Generatin?
A.Scary stries affect children’s brains.
B.Parents are respnsible fr children’s health.
C.Teen’s mental illness results frm screen time.
D.The epidemic f mental illness is unavidable.
答案 C
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Hwever,the bk’s repeated illness is unsupprted by science.”可知,該書重復(fù)暗示數(shù)字技術(shù)正在重構(gòu)我們孩子的大腦,并導(dǎo)致精神健康問題的流行。C項與該描述相一致。故選C項。
13.What des “the same message” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A.Many cuntries d research in mental health.
B.Well-being and scial media are clsely related.
C.The yung are trapped in the mental-health crisis.
D.Scial media dn’t necessarily cause mental illness.
答案 D
解析 詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前面一段中的內(nèi)容“When assciatins ver time are in different ways frm their healthy peers.”以及畫線詞后面的內(nèi)容“An analysis dne in 72 cuntries shws n cnsistent r measurable assciatins between well-being and scial media glbally.”可知,“同樣的信息”指的是社交媒體并不一定導(dǎo)致心理健康問題。通過在72個國家進(jìn)行的一項分析顯示,在全球范圍內(nèi),幸福感和社交媒體之間沒有一致的或可衡量的聯(lián)系。故畫線詞指代的是社交媒體的使用與心理健康之間無必然聯(lián)系。
14.What is implied in the last paragraph?
A.Effective actins need t be taken.
B.Psitive stries shuld be shared.
C.Financial supprt needs t be prvided.
D.Brader research shuld be dne.
答案 A
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“We have a generatin in yung peple wh need,and deserve,mre.”可知,對于年輕人的心理健康問題,我們正在浪費(fèi)時間講述沒有研究支持的故事,而這些故事對需要幫助的年輕人并沒有幫助,這暗示我們需要采取有效的行動來解決這個問題。
15.What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A.T suggest ways t help thse in need.
B.T encurage parents t brave the crisis.
C.T recmmend a newly-published bk.
D.T give a vice t children’s mental issues.
答案 D
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“I had t say the epidemic(流行病) f mental illness is unsupprted by science.”和最后一段中“Unfrtunately,ur time is need,and deserve,mre.”以及通讀全文可知,整篇文章都在批評一本書的觀點(diǎn),并強(qiáng)調(diào)需要科學(xué)和證據(jù)支持的解決方案,而不應(yīng)該把時間浪費(fèi)在沒有科學(xué)研究支持的結(jié)論中,由此表明作者的目的是引導(dǎo)人們對兒童心理健康問題以及真正引發(fā)該問題的原因進(jìn)行關(guān)注和理解。D項“T give a vice t children’s mental issues.”符合作者的目的。

A few years ag,the scientists Claudia Twnsend at the University f Miami and Suzanne Shu at UCLA Andersn Schl f Management cnducted a simple investigatin int hw aesthetics(美學(xué)) influences ur investment decisins.
They randmly assigned 255 students t receive an annual crprate reprt.One f these reprts was aesthetically pleasing— 16 The ther reprt was far less attractive.After leafing thrugh these tw reprts—bth f which cntained the exact same factual infrmatin—the subjects were asked t estimate the lwest acceptable selling price fr shares f the cmpany. 17
If investrs were ratinal agents,then the lk f the reprt shuldn’t have mattered—they shuld be respnding nly t its cntent. 18 Twnsend and Shu fund that subjects given the prettier dcument insisted n an average selling price f $327.01 per share.Thse shwn less pretty dcument,meanwhile,cncluded that the cmpany’s shares were wrth nly $ research suggests that the design f the annual reprt can significantly influence ur sense f value.
19 In recent years,scientists have als lked at hw aesthetics impacts ur perceptins f trust.D we find prettier websites mre trustwrthy? There’s n lgical reasn why that wuld be the case,f curse,but the human mind is full f illgical peculiarity.S far,the evidence suggests that the lk f a site is highly crrelated with ur ratings f trust, 20 In a paper,researchers shwed that ur first impressins f a website—they shwed subjects screen shts fr fifty millisecnds,which is t fast fr cnscius awareness—shaped ur subsequent sense f trustwrthiness.
A.But it is nt true.

C.And this pattern desn’t apply t ther aspects.

F.While Twnsend and Shu lked at paper reprts,the same lgic applies t websites.
G.Actually,they are required t value the cmpany based n the infrmatin in the annual reprt.
答案與解析
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)美學(xué)影響我們的投資決策,公司年度報告的外觀會影響應(yīng)試者對公司股價的估計,相同的邏輯也適用于網(wǎng)頁。
16.B 根據(jù)上文“They randmly assigned 255 students t receive an annual crprate reprt.One f these reprts was aesthetically pleasing”和下文“The ther reprt was far less attractive.”可知,這份報告很美觀,有吸引力,因此推斷B項符合語境,解釋了有吸引力的原因。
17.G 根據(jù)上文“the subjects were asked t estimate the lwest acceptable selling price fr shares f the cmpany”可知,此處是指對公司股票的估價,所以G項承接上文,符合語境。
18.A 根據(jù)上文“If investrs were ratinal agents,then the lk f the reprt shuldn’t have mattered—they shuld be respnding nly t its cntent.”和下文“Twnsend and Shu fund that subjects given the prettier dcument... influence ur sense f value.”可知,此處是指事實并不像上文中提到的那樣,所以A項切合文意。
19.F 根據(jù)下文“In recent years,scientists have als lked at hw aesthetics impacts ur perceptins f trust.D we find prettier websites mre trustwrthy?”可知,此處是指相同的邏輯也適用于網(wǎng)頁,所以F項切合文意。
20.D 根據(jù)上文“S far,the evidence suggests that the lk f a site is highly crrelated with ur ratings f trust”和下文“In a ur subsequent sense f trustwrthiness.”可知,到目前為止,有證據(jù)表明,網(wǎng)站的外觀與我們的信任度高度相關(guān),我們對網(wǎng)站的第一印象塑造了我們隨后的對其的信任度。D項符合語境。
