(2021·厦门高中毕业班第一次质量检查)
These days, young people in some English­speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post：
“David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie
hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh”. Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”
What on earth do they mean? Well, “to tes” is a short form of “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only time­saving but fashionable.
As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by so­called “totesing”—the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”， but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”，for example, has been widely used by Africa n­Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”， for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist (语言学家) Rosey Billington doesn't agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes­speak and d iscovered totesing has complex roots.
It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word
count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.

(2021·南昌十校高三第二次模拟考试)
Singapore's schools have become global role models, with high results in international tests. But now they want to move beyond this —towards something that encourages creativity and what they term “holistic (全面的) education”．
Minister for Education, Heng Swee Keat, says this is “less about content knowledge”，but “more about how to process information”. He describes this challenge of inn ovating as being able to “tell truths from untruths, connect seemingly different things, and create knowledge even as the context changes”．
This strategy aims to prepare today's students for the demands of the next 20 years. It means that schools are under more pressure, and will be given more freedom, to come up with creative ways to teach students. So instead of the traditional images of high­pressure Asian schools, with rows of heads buried in books, they are trying different approaches to learning.
To put this into practice, on a sunny April morning, 80 students from one of Singapore's top schools were traveling outdoors. The nine­ to ten­year­olds from Rosyth School were on a “learning journey” in a park, with science topics and values such as caring for the environment.
“We are conducting a biopsy (活组织检查) to find out why a bee, a fish, a bird and
a plant mysteriously died，” said student Darren Ong. “Is it because of human actions？”
They photographed “evidence” on smartphones and digital cameras, get ting facts on plant and animal species on their iPads. “In one activity, I can cover three topics，” said science teacher Lin Lixun. “They can really learn through hands­on experience and putting things into action，” said moral education teacher, Joslyn Hu ang.

(2021·河北衡水中学高三一调考试)It is not unusual for people to speak two or three languages; they're known as bilinguals or trilinguals. Speakers of more than three languages are known as polyglots. And when we refer to people who speak many languages, perhaps a dozen or more, we use the term hyper­polyglot.
The most famous hyper­polyglot was Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th century Italian cardinal (红衣主教), who was said to speak 72 languages. This claim sounds absurd. If_you_assume_each_language_had_20,000_words,_Mezzofanti_would_have_to_learn_a_word_a_ minute,_six_hours_a_day,_for_eleven_years_—_an_impossible_task. But Mezzofanti was tested by critics, and they were all impressed.
Did Mezzofanti have an extraordinary brain? Or are hyper­polyglots just ordinary people with ordinary brains who manage to do something extraordinary through hard work?
U．S. linguist (语言学家) Stephen Krashen believes that outstand ing language learners just work harder at it and then they acquire unusually strong language abilit y. As an example, he mentions a Hungarian woman who worked as an interpreter during the 20th century. When she was 86, she could speak 16 languages and was still working on learning new languages. She said she learned them mostly on her own, reading fiction or working through dictionaries or textbooks.
Some researchers argue to the contrary. They believe that there is such a thing as a talent for learning languages. In the 1930s, a German scientist examined parts of the preserved brain of a hyper­polyglot named Emil Krebs, who could s peak 60 languages fluently. The scientist found that the area of Krebs' brain called Boca's area, which is associated with language, looked different from the Boca's area in the brains of men who speak only one language. However, we still don't know if Krebs was born with a brain ready to learn dozens of languages or if his brain adapted to the demands he put on it.
Although it is still not clear whether the ability to learn many languages is born, there's no doubt that just about all of us can acquire skills in a second, third, or even fourth language by putting our mind to it.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些会讲多种语言的人，并探讨了关于掌握多种语言的能力是不是是天生的这一话题。

12．W hat does the underlined sentence imply?
A．Mezzofanti could remember 360 words a day.
B．Mezzofanti had a special way to learn languages.
C．Mezzofanti's achievement was ridiculous.
D．Mezzofanti's language ability was astonishing.
解析：选D 句意猜想题。

按照下文可知，Mezzofanti完成了这项几乎不可能完成的任务，且通过了评论家对他的测试；由此可推知，画线句应表明他的语言能力令人吃惊。

故选D。

13．The Hungarian woman became a hyper­polyglot mainly because of her ________.
A．good memory B．hard work
C．unique brain D．learning methods
解析：选B 推理判断题。

按照第四段的第一句和第三句可推知，这位Hungarian女士是因为自己的尽力才学会了多种语言的。

A．had an unusual brain
B．was born with great talent
C．had worked hard at languages
D．expected too much of himself
解析：选A 细节理解题。

按照第五段第四句可知，Krebs的大脑看起来和寻常人的不一样。

故选A。

15．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain what hyper­polyglots do.
B．To introduce some famous hyper­polyglots.
C．To present new findings on hyper­polyglots.
D．To explore if hyper­polyglots are born talented.
