Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual(双语的)people scored higher on intelligence (智力)tests than monolinguals—people who speak only one language. The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer, but it probably does make you better at certain skills.
Imagine driving down the highway. There are many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?
The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function(功能)called the executive control system. It’s quite possibly the most important system we have because it’s where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore(忽视),what to process are made.
The best method to measure(测量)the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word blue written in red but you have to say the colour red. But “blue” is so eye-catching, and you really want to say “blue”. You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. That’s the Stroop Test.
Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have trends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer’s disease.
46. What did the recent research find about bilingual people? A. They can safely drive their cars.
B. They can well manage their attention.
C. They can have a better control of imagination.
D. They can easily pick out the colours they want.
47. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Red. B. Blue. C. Test. D System. 48. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Bilingualism may do harm to people’s health.
B Bilingualism helps children make more foreign friends. C. People must practice speaking two languages continually. D. People use more active words from their mother languages. 49. What might be the best title for the text? A. How does the Stroop Test work? B. What is executive control system? C Are monolingual people smarter?
D Are bilingual people better at some skills?
【主旨大意】日常生活中,我们见到或听说某人会几国语言的话,自然而然就会觉得此人很厉害,会觉得这样的人比较聪明。那么,事实到底是怎样的呢?本文给了一个科学的答案。最新研究表明,说双语的人不一定比说一种语言的人聪明,但是他们的某些技能水平更高。 46. B细节理解题。文章第三段第一句“The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function(功能)called the executive control system.”知,双语者更善于控制自己的注意力。选项B正确。
47. B细节理解题。代词it代指上文出现的单词或句子,在这句话前面即文章第四段第三句“But “blue” is so eye-catching, and you really want to say “blue”.”知,这里代指“blue”。 48. B细节理解题。文章最后一段倒数第二句 “Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have trends from different cultures.” 知,会双语的孩子更有可能有来自不同文化的趋势,这能帮助双语者结交更多外国的朋友,选择B。

It seems that food deliverymen(送货员)are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. 50 They use mobile phones while driving.
These rude behaviors have caught the public’s attention. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
51 The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer. Many companies will fine(罚款)a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. 52
To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems, noted CRI Online. 53 Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned(禁止)from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year.
根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项。 A. Some cities are also taking action
B. What are the strict rules used for?
C. What makes deliverymen take such risks?
D Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers E. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights 【主旨大意】
外卖小哥在送餐过程中,为了抢时间,为了多跑几趟单,多赚点配送费,存在车速过快、闯红灯、逆行、不戴安全头盔等严重的交通违法违规行为,极容易引发交通事故,酿成惨祸。让疾驰的外卖小哥“慢下来”需多方努力。
50. E【解析】短文第一段列举了外卖小哥在送餐过程中出现的一些交通违法行为,由空前“many of them don’t follow traffic rule”知,许多外卖小哥不遵守交通规则,空后列出了不遵守规则中的一条,即骑车是打电话,所以空格处应该也是不遵守规则中的一条,E选项“他们逆行且闯红灯”填在此处合适。 51.C【解析】短文第三段空后一句“The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer”知,“严格的送餐服务规定和焦急等待的顾客给出了答案”,给出了外卖小哥交通违法的两个因素,可知空前应该是询问“是什么让送餐人员冒这样的风险?”,C选项符合题意。
52.D 【解析】短文第三段空前一句给出了外卖小哥被罚款的一个原因“送餐不及时”,结合选项,D选项也是关于罚款的,“如果收到顾客差评也会被罚款”符合此空。选择D。 53.A【解析】短文第四段给出了解决这一问题的一些措施,空前是“食品配送服务公司需要改进他们的激励机制”,空后列举了几个城市(上海、深圳)的举措。空格处应填写承上启下的一句,选项A符合题意,also承上,some cities are taking action启下。 第Ⅱ卷(共47分)
