But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.‎ A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia(遗忘)”， with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.‎ The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyinbased Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke(笔画) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.‎ Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint the mostoften used software to teach knowledge to students.‎ The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which edictionaries rarely provide.‎ Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.‎ ‎1．With the example of a college graduate, the author shows ________.‎ A．that practicing can improve writing B．why certain people are poor writers C．that there are differences in students' writing D．why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger ‎2．By saying “...those interviewed often experience ‘character amnesia(遗忘)’”， the writer means those interviewed ________.‎ A．are not good at handwriting B．can't write characters accurately C．show no interest in handwriting D．find jobs much more difficultly ‎3．What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5?‎ A．Dependence on electronic devices.‎ B．Advantages of electronic dictionaries.‎ C．Mastery of knowledge of the characters.‎ D．Disadvantages of published dictionaries.‎ ‎4．What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language?‎ A．Favorable. B．Uncaring.‎ C．Disapproving. D．Friendly.‎ B ‎[2018·全国卷ⅠC]Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.‎ Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.‎ At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people，while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.‎ Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.‎ ‎5．What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?‎ A．They developed very fast. ‎ B．They were large in number.‎ C．They had similar patterns. ‎ D．They were closely connected.‎ ‎6．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?‎ A．Complex. B．Advanced.‎ C．Powerful. D．Modern.‎ ‎7．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?‎ A．About 6,800. B．About 3,400.‎ C．About 2,400. D．About 1,200.‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of the text?‎ A．New languages will be created.‎ B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.‎ C．Human development results in fewer languages.‎ D．Geography determines language evolution.‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎[2020·石家庄市质量检测] I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!‎ ‎ I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. __1__. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.‎ Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. __2__， they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I'm so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English, so this one doesn't really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive ‎ and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. __3__.‎ When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. __4__. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting selfsatisfied, it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.‎ ‎__5__. The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.‎ ‎　A．That's really uncomfortable B．Whatever languages they're translated into C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language E．Computer games always make me feel worn out F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said G．I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎[2020·南昌二模] When it comes to your brain, researchers have found there's no better superfood than a book.

Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them”可知，在狩猎时代，人口少，语言却很丰富，故选B。‎ ‎6．答案与解析：C　考查词义猜测。根据第二段最后一句“In recent centuries... all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over”可知，近几个世纪以来，随着社会的发展，很多语言已经消失，英语、西班牙语、汉语逐渐占主导地位。complex“复杂的”；advanced“高级的，先进的”；powerful“有影响力的”；modern“现代的”，故选C。‎ ‎7．答案与解析：B　考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“The median number(中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that”可知，目前全球不同语言使用人数的中位数仅是6 000，这就意味着世界上有一半的语言的使用人数不到6 000；结合第三段第一句“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages”可知，选B。‎ ‎8．答案与解析：C　考查主旨大意。根据第一段第一句中的“but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going”和第二段可知，随着人类社会的发展，尤其是工业化、全球化以来，很多语言已经消失，即人类的发展使得语言的种类越来越少，故选C。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 体裁：记叙文　题材：语言学习　主题：“我”学习外语的经历 ‎ 【文章大意】　本文是一篇记叙文。“我”一共学习过十二种语言，在学习语言的过程中“我”尝试过各种各样的方法。‎ ‎1．答案与解析：G　根据空后一句“For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about ‎ adopting strange terms that are only used in writing”可知，通常，博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写；据此可推知，“我”发现博客是学习语言的好工具，因为它们常常是用口语写作的，故G项正确。‎ ‎2．答案与解析：F　根据该句中的“they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language”并结合常识可推知，电影中的字幕虽然有时和所说的话不是很一致，但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看，故F项与此处匹配。‎ ‎3．答案与解析：D　根据空处前两句“A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours”可知，许多语言学习电脑程序中包括游戏，而“我”是一心求胜，如果“我”玩任何一个，“我”都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知，如果“我”在学习这门语言，花费的时间是值得的，故D项符合语境。‎ ‎4．答案与解析：A　根据空处前两句“The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian”可知，对“我”来说，最难的部分是当“我”足够自信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时“我”实际上被困于这种状态了；据此可推知，那让“我”感到很不舒服，故A项正确。‎ ‎5．答案与解析：C　根据空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的主题句；根据该段中的“It got to the point where... with the limited Russian I had”可知，“我”回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受；据此可推知，该段主要介绍“我”也使用“我”正在学的语言来进行思考，故C项正确。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 体裁：说明文　题材：文化生活　主题：阅读的好处 ‎【文章大意】　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，阅读益处多多，建议读者多读书。‎ ‎1．答案与解析：collected　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，collect和其逻辑主语the data构成动宾关系，与介词“by”呼应，故填其过去分词形式collected。‎ ‎2．答案与解析：hopeful　考查形容词。修饰名词一般用形容词，所以用形容词hopeful修饰名词“pattern”，在句子中作定语。‎ ‎3．答案与解析：longer　考查形容词的比较级。根据语境中的比较级标志“than”可知，此处表示比较的含义，故填longer。‎ ‎4．答案与解析：forces　考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处叙述客观情况，应用一般现在时；且主语为动名词短语“reading ‎ books”，句子谓语用单数形式，故填forces。‎ ‎5．答案与解析：connections　考查名词的单复数。connection是可数名词，与该句中的“from one chapter to another”呼应，表示复数概念，且其前无限定词修饰，故填connections。‎ ‎6．答案与解析：which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰前面的整个句子，故用which来引导该从句。‎ ‎7．答案与解析：to carry　考查非谓语动词。seem to do sth.为固定用法，故此处用不定式作宾语，故填to carry。‎ ‎8．答案与解析：an　考查冠词。instruction意为“操作指南”时是可数名词，且第一次在语境中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，表示泛指，且其发音以元音音素开头，故填an。‎ ‎9．答案与解析：are involved　考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处描述客观情况，应用一般现在时；且主语many parts of your brain为复数，be involved in“涉及，参与”符合语境，故填are involved。‎ ‎10．答案与解析：it/reading　考查代词或名词。空处表示对本文主题“阅读”的再次点题，故填代词it或名词reading。‎
