Most people recognize that there are many benefits of learning a foreign language. Scientific studies have even shown that learning a new language helps to keep memories sharp and naturally improves overall brain function.
But do you know that you can speak a new language in as little as 10 days? The Pimsleur Approach to speaking new languages helps users pick up new languages quickly. Even the FBI has purchased the Pimsleur Approach.
Dr. Pimsleur, a specialist in the field of applied linguistics, devoted his life and career to acquiring languages and recognized that effective communication in any language depends on mastery of a relatively limited number of words. And, trying to learn too many words at first can actually slow the language retention (保留) process. However, once this “core (核心) vocabulary” is mastered and used co nstantly, it speeds up language learning. The Pimsleur Approach aims at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language, so you can speak the most in the least amount of time. It’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.
Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically planned to rapidly lock language material into your brain after just one listen. Just sit back, listen and start wiring your brain to pick up a new language today.
The Pimsleur Approach Programs
The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun and easy. You’ll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading, writing or
computer use. The Pimsleur Approach has a 100 percent guarantee: amaze yourself in 10 days or you do n’t pay!
Limited availability special offer
The company is currently offering new customers a special offer of half off the language of your choice including free shipping.
The programs which normally cost 19.95 are now available for just 9.95. Better yet, they are also offering a full 30-day money-back guarantee (so if you find you are not speaking as fast as you want, simply return it for a full refund).
1. The teaching method of the Pimsleur Approach is ______.
A. mastering a number of rules
B. reciting many new words
C. reading and translating
D. listening and speaking
2. What does the Pimsleur Approach focus on？
A. How many core vocabularies you remember.
B. How effectively you use the core vocabulary.
C. How to learn many words at first.
D. How to improve your language retention.
3. If you learn the Pimsleur Approach lessons now, you _______.
A. are to speak as fast as possible
B. can travel by ship for free
C. may get a 10 discount...
D. have to hand in your fees within 30 days
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
【解析】本文为一则广告。

文章主要在介绍和推广皮姆斯勒语言学习系统（Pimsleur Approach）。

1. 推理判断题。

根据第四段中的Just sit back, listen and start wiring your brain to pick up a new language today.可推知，皮姆斯勒语言学习系统的教学方法是听和说。

故选D。

2. 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的The Pimsleur Approach aims at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language…It’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.可推知，皮姆斯勒语言学习系统旨在教会你使用一门语言的核心词，不
是你知道了多少词，而是你可以使用哪些词。

故选B。

3. 细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的The programs which normally cost 19.95 are now available for just 9.95.可知，现在报名的话可以享受10美元的优惠。

故选C。

【名师点睛】
阅读理解所设试题主要考察细节查找，做题关键是找出原文的根据，认真核查题支和原文的异同，常犯错误有：绝对化语言，范围扩大或缩小，以偏概全，张冠李戴等。

考生首先要浏览短文后的小题题干，标出关键词（组），带着问题去阅读，能够做到心中有数，目的明确；然后再仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握细节信息，并在标出能得出答案的有效信息。

如第3小题“If you learn the Pimsleur Approach lessons now, you _______.”，如果你现在学习Pimsleur学习方法课程的话，你……根据文章最后一段中的The programs which normally cost 19.95 are now available for just 9.95.可知，这种学习课程正常价格是19.95美元，现在9.95美元就可以买到，所以现在学习的话，可以节省10美元。

于是我们选择C项，并将这句话标识为第3小题的答案依据。

本题容易误选B项，原文中的including free shipping是指“包括免邮费”，而不是“免费乘船旅行”，根据常识，你花9.95美元的价格学习一门课程，不可能再免费让你去乘轮船旅行了。

A/D两项在原文中没有依据，所以错误。

做阅读理解题时，一定要细心，这样才能准确找到正确答案。

B
My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas, little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here, her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.
One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.
I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short
life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.
That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn to grow, and to love.
4. Why did Nanny’s family immigrate to America?
A. Because they suffered starvation in their homeland.
B. Because they wanted to start a rich life in the new land.
C. Because they tried to get away from the terrible climate.
D. Because their country was in war and they needed peace.
5. The boy complained to Nanny that the food _______.
A. wasn’t cooked the way his mom did
B. was served a bit later than usual
C. was prepared in a special way
D. was just to his parents’ taste
6. When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author felt _______.
A. surprised
B. ashamed
C. shocked
D. annoyed
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. Forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for it.
B. Hardships can make children more indifferent (漠不关心的).
C. Grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildren....
D. Family ties can sometimes be misused.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】本文为记叙文。

文章讲述了作者和奶奶之间的一次不愉快的经历，后来发现自己错了，寻求奶奶的原谅。

奶奶很宽宏的谅解了我，使我对她的爱铭记在心，而深受启发。

4. 推理判断题。

根据第一段中的During the trip she survived stormy seas, little food, and an attack by a German U-boat.可推知，祖母一家移民美国是因为她们的国家当时与德国发生了战争，她们想要躲避战争。

故选D。

5. 细节理解题。

根据第二段中的However, all I could do was complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it.可知，我抱怨的是她所做的食物并不是按我妈妈那种方式做的。

故选A。

6. 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me.可推知，作者应该是感到愧疚，才会主动向祖母道歉、请求她的原谅。

故选B。

7. 主旨大意题。

本文主要记叙了作者和祖母之间曾经发生的一件事情，从中作者也得出了“请求原谅帮助我们学会成长、学会爱”的道理。

由此可知，A. Forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for it.适合做本文最佳标题。

故选A。

C
Putting more green space around an elementary school may help students develop some mental abilities, a study suggests.
Researchers tested students repeatedly over the course of a year on attentiveness and working memory, which is the ability to keep something in mind temporarily for performing a task. The study tracked more than 2,000 students in 36 primary schools in Barcelona, Spain. The pupils were in the second to fourth grade when the study began. Overall, students whose schools are surrounded by more green space improve more pupils from schools with less green space.
“Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive (认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas,” one author, Mark Nieuwenhuijse n of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, said in an email. “Existing urban schools should think about replacing concrete or other hard surfaces with green space, and even a few trees may help,” he suggested.
The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the school’s surrounding property. Their analysis indicated that differences in socioeconomic factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.
Sally Augustin, a psychologist in La Grange Park, Illinois, who used research on how people react to their surroundings to consult on design of buildings, products and services, said the results make sense to her. Augustin, who did not participate
in the new study, said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.
8. What do we know about the findings of the study?
A. Attentiveness (专注) is the most important quality for students.
B. A good memory enables students to perform a task better.
C. More green space may help the mental development of students.
D. Schools surrounded by more green space are favored by parents.
9. According to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, policy makers should _______.
A. reduce the noise near the school
B. reduce air pollution from vehicles
C. provide more green space for kids
D. encourage kids to play more sports
10. How are the schools classified by the researchers?
A. By green space.
B. By test scores.
C. By size.
D. By position.
11. Why is Augustin mentioned in the passage?
A. To introduce another interesting study.
B. To make the findings of the study more convincing.
C. To present new evidence for the study....
D. To show a different viewpoint.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】本文为介绍说明文。

文章介绍了一项研究，研究发现绿化环境好的小学能帮助孩子们提高某些心理活动能力。

8. 细节理解题。

文章第一段就指出绿化环境好的小学能帮助孩子们提高某些心理活动能力，下文一直在围绕这一话题展开。

故选C。

9. 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive (认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas,（决策者应该知道学校周围更多的绿化对认知发展更好一些，他们应该确保孩子们能看到绿地和能在绿地里玩耍）可推知，Mark Nieuwenhuijsen认为决策者们应该给孩子们提供更多的绿化空间。

故选C。

10. 细节理解题。

根据第四段中的The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the school’s surrounding property.可知，研究者们将学校根据学校绿化的比例进行了分组（group）。

故选A。

11. 推理判断题。

文章最后提到了心理学专家Augustin，他虽然没有参加这项研究，但是认为这次研究结果与以前自然景色能帮助孩子和成人减轻压力、更好完成心理任务的观点是相符的。

由此，来证明这次研究发现是可信的。

故选B。

D
In the top 10 of unpleasant sounds, a crying baby ranks very high. It instantly makes a key part of your brain called the amygdale (杏仁孔) active, which, among other things, acts as a sort of radar for emotional threats. So why would babies need to cause this sort of urgent reaction? To get you to respond and fast to ensure their survival.
Babies can’t fend for themselves. They are like chicks in their parents’ nest, depending on others to keep them warm, fed and safe. Like chicks, their cries signal driving necessities such as a need for food or protection from danger. But human babies can also convey a range of other needs with cries.
Human babies are also highly social, and are interested in engaging in a dialogue with their caregivers. So they are equally attentive to their parents’ signals: the messages conveyed by the body language of their caregivers — how the parent smells, touches, holds, rocks, as well as their tone of voice. In relaxed moments with the parent, they soon discover how smiling at an attentive adult tends to cause a positive response in return.
On the other hand, these early attempts at communication between the parent and child can be very hit-and-miss. In the first few weeks, most babies cry for about two hours a day. When the parent and baby aren’t “getting” each other, crying can increase. In particular, long difficulties with breast-feeding can lead to a pattern of “established firmly” crying behavior.
Crying is a signal that can mean many different things. The lessons that are learned from these early experiences are highly significant for individual lives,
but collectively they also have a great effect on our culture.
12. According to the first paragraph, what is babies’ purpos e of crying?
A. To change their comfortable situation at the present time.
B. To communicate with parents and learn to use body language.
C. To make caregivers fast respond to guarantee their survival.
D. To get something that they want to get as quickly as possible.
13. What does the underlined phrase “fend for” in Para.2 mean?
A. feed
B. look after
C. support
D. make up
14. Why do human babies pay attention to their parents’ signals?
A. Because they hope to get more from their parents.
B. Because they want to convey messages to their parents.
C. Because they need to learn from their parents how to communicate.
D. Because they are social and interested in talking with their parents.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Cry or Don’t Cry?
B. Why Do Babies Cry?
C. How to Express Babies’ Feelings?
D. Human Babies Are Similar to Chicks’?【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B...
【解析】本文为介绍说明文。

文章介绍了婴儿为什么会哭及哭声所传达的各种信息。

12. 细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句话To get you to respond and fast to ensure their survival.可知，婴儿哭的目的是让照看者快速保证他的存在。

故选C。

13. 词义猜测题。

根据划线词所在句后面列举的例子可知，婴儿不能照顾自己，只能依靠他人。

故选B。

14. 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的Human babies are also highly social, and are interested in engaging in a dialogue with their caregivers.可推知，人类的婴儿注意家长们的信号是因为他们是具有很高的社会性，对参与与照看者的对话感兴趣。

故选B。

15. 标题归纳题。

通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了婴儿为什么会哭及哭声所传达的各种信息，所以“婴儿为什么会哭？”适合作本文最佳标题。

故选B。

阅读理解是每套英语试题中的重头戏，需要大家特别重视。

其中词义猜测题是比较难的题目，
此类题目要求正确把握句意、上下文语境。

如第2小题“What does the underlined phrase ‘fend for’ in Para.2 mean?”，要求猜测划线词fend for的意思，根据划线词所在句后面列举的They are like chicks in their pa rents’ nest, depending on others to keep them warm, fed and safe.（他们像鸟巢中的小鸟一样，依赖其它的鸟来保持温暖、被喂养和保证安全），由此可知，Babies can’t fend for themselves.意为“婴儿不能照顾他们自己”。

其它选项A. feed喂养；C.support支持，养活；D. make up编造，组成，构成。

其中A/C项容易误选，这两项指符合后面列举例子中的一部分，不能全面解释fend for的意思。

做此词义猜测题目时，一定要结合上下文语境，不能主观臆断。

此外，大家在日常学习过程中，一定要加强词汇积累，只有词汇基础雄厚了，阅读中存在的词汇障碍才会少，阅读思路才能顺畅。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy to understand. According to many psychologists, a fear of heights is one of the only two natural fears — the other is the fear of loud noises. ___16___ If you are not afraid, you could walk too close to the edge and fall off. Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.
___17___ They experience a intense fear even inside a safe environment such as a skyscraper, which is not an appropriate response and it is not helpful. ___18___ “As long as I can remember, I have had a powerful fear of heights. It can completely ruin a vacation. For example, when I was with friends in Paris, I became terrified while going up to the Eiffel Tower. I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation,”Adams said.
Fortunately, having an irrational fear of heights can be corrected. ___19___ The most effective way seems to be getting the people to acknowledge their fears, for example, by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings, hike up steep mountains, or stand on a high bridge.
___20___ When faced with a threatening situation, taking slow, deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flowing to muscles to keep from tensing up. If possible, a few minutes of meditation (深思) may be effective in relieving
some tension.
It is important to remember that an inappropriate fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.
A. Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms.
B. However, some people have an irrational (非理性的) and unhealthy fear of heights.
C. One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights.
D. There are a number of ways that can be achieved.
E. John Adams, an English teacher, has an irrational fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.
F. If you are on the edge of a cliff, it is useful to be a little afraid.
G. Nearly everyone experiences some degree of anxiety when exposed to heights. 【答案】16. F 17. B
18. E 19. D
20. A
【解析】试题分析：本文提出恐高是一种常见的可理解的心理，并分析了恐高的原因，提出了解决恐高心理的方法。

16. F根据前文“the other is the fear of loud noises”另一种是怕巨大的噪音，可推知如果是在安静的高处，就不会有那么强烈的恐高心理了。

而F项中cliff（悬崖峭壁）就是一个相对安静的高处。

故选F。

17. B根据下文“They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as
a tall building...”可知，然而有些人会对高度产生过度的恐慌，他们甚至在比如较高的建筑物里也会感到强烈的恐惧。

故选B。

18. E根据第二段“It can completely ruin a vacation…Adams said”亚当斯说，恐高几乎毁了他的整个假期，可知这一段以亚当斯的经历为例，说明了恐高心理对他生活造成的影响及带来的困难。

故选E。

19. D根据上下文“...having an unreasonable fear of heights can be corrected...The most effective way seems to be getting the person to acknowledge their fear”可知，过度地恐高是可以被改正过来的，有许多方法可以做到这一点。

最有效的方法就是让人承认
他们的恐惧。

故选D。

20. A根据下文“...taking slow，deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flow to muscles to keep from tensing up.”可知，另外一种方法就是控制体征，比如慢慢地深呼吸来降低心率，让更多的氧气流向肌肉来避免紧张。

故选A。

...
考点：考查社交类阅读。

【名师点睛】
【七选五题型分析】
一、分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的“积句而成章，积章而成篇。

”就是这个道理。

二、分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落，另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。

三、语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。

构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。

例如第17题，这一空应该是对这一段的总起，需要很好的把这一段进行总结，根据下文“They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as a tall building...”可知，然而有些人会对高度产生过度的恐慌，他们甚至在比如较高的建筑物里也会感到强烈的恐惧。

故选B。
