1.From childhood to old age,we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.When humans first (50)B,they were like newborn children,unable to use this(51)A  tool.Yet once language developed,the possibilities for human kind's future achievements and cultural growth increased.
Many language experts believe that evolution is (52)D  for our ability to produce and use language.They (53)C  that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate (inborn:天生的)  language ability not found in lower organisms (生物,有机体).Those who support this innateness theory say that our (54)A for language is inborn,but that language develops gradually,as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical (55)B  time for language development.
Current (56)A  of innateness theory are mixed; however,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities can not be denied.(57)C,more and more schools (流派) are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in (58)D  grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being (59)B  to them,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the (60)C  of their first language have become firmly fixed.
(61)A  some aspects of language are innate,language does not develop automatically of itself.Children who have been (62)D  from other human beings do not possess language.This demonstrates that interaction or communication with other human beings is necessary for proper language development.Some language experts believe that this is even more basic to human language acquisition (习得) than any innate abilities.These theorists view language as imitative,learned behavior.(63)C,children learn language from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by giving (64)B  feedback to precise imitations and negative feedback to imprecise ones.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了语言的某些方面是与生俱来的,语言本身并不是自动发展的,但也通过后天学习改变.

解答 BADCA  BACDB  CADCB
50.B.考查动词辨析.此处意为:当人类刚刚开始进化,他们如同新生儿一样不会运用语言这种工具.evolved逐渐发展,进化符合题意.born (bear的过去分词)不能作谓语动词;originated起源,不能用first修饰;故选B.
51.A.考查形容词辨析.根据语法分析,答案应用来修饰语言的.valuable珍贵的;appropriate合适的,适当的;convenient方便的,便利的;favorite最喜欢的.语言并不是人类选择的结果,而是人类在进化过程中慢慢发展起来的,对人类来说,应当是珍贵的;故选A.
52.D.考查形容词辨析.此处意为:许多语言学家认为进化使人们产生和具备了语言的能力.固定短语be responsible for对…负责,是…的原由.其它选项不与for搭配;故选D.
53.C.考查动词辨析.根据语法分析,空格后应是一个宾语从句,而A,B,D三项后都不能接从句做直接宾语.confirm(确认) 名词;inform(通知)sb.of sth.;convince(使某人确信) sb.of sth;故选C.
54.A.考查名词辨析.此句意思是:人类的语言能力是与生俱来的,但语言本身也在逐渐发展,所以这种能力应该是潜在的;故选A.
55.B.考查形容词辨析.此句意为:语言的发展有一个关键期,人体的成长是生物变化的过程.biological生物的;ideological思想上的;social社会的;psychological心理的;故选B.
56.A.考查名词辨析.此处意为:目前人们对"先天论"评论观点不一,但是支持某些天生能力的证据却是确凿无疑的.reviews评论;reference参考;reaction反应;recommendation推荐;故选A.
57.C.考查短语辨析.从前文可看出,作者是倾向于先天论的,为了进一步证明先天论是有道理的,作者选择了以学校为例加以说明,因此这里应填一个表示递进关系的词Indeed(甚至);故选C.
58.D.考查形容词辨析.此处意思是:越来越多的学校发现在什么年级学外语较容易,根据常识(低年级学外语较容易)以及后文的Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them,while adults…可以选定答案;故选D.
59.B.考查动词辨析.此处意为:通过接触多种语言,孩子们可以学会好几种语言.be exposed to是固定搭配,接触到.reveal(显露)sth.to sb,不合题意,因本题中的them指languages.其余选项不与to搭配.engage in从事;be involved in参与;故选B.
60.C.考查名词辨析.此句意思是:一旦母语的规则被深深印入脑海中,成年人就很难再学好另一种语言.rules规则,规律;regulations规定;formations构成,构造;constitutions宪法,章程;故选C.
61.A.考查连词辨析.分析上下文的逻辑关系,从句意思是:语言的某些方面肯定是先天的.主句意思是:语言不会在与人隔绝的状况下自行发展.前后应为转折关系;故选A.
62.D.考查形容词辨析.此句意为:与人隔绝的儿童不能掌握好一门语言.isolated孤立的,与人隔绝的;distinguished区别的,杰出的;different不同的;protected受到保护的;故选D.
63.C.考查短语辨析.本句功能是以另一种方式解释前文中的"imitative,learned behavior.(模仿性的后天行为)".In other words换言之,换句话说;故选C.
64.B.考查形容词辨析.根据句意家长逐渐塑造孩子的语言技能,给予积极的反馈精确模仿和负面反馈不精确的;故选B.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断,

11.I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.This year,a very sweet old lady that I cared for,Alice,had gone through a difficult time.
She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home".Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen,she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy,I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve,I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
