D．Worried.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文介绍了新技术革命给经济领域带来了很大影响，会产生严重的失业问题。同时，本文也鼓励人们应该把握新的机遇去创造更多的就业机会。‎ ‎1．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Britain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution”以及第二段中的“The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with...among those at risk.”可知，这次改变的阴暗面是将会引发比维多利亚时期更严重的就业问题。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎2．解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，人们之所以会失业，是因为新技术创造出来的机器会替代人们从事很多方面的工作。反之，经济学家能够幸免是因为目前还没有一项技术能扮演他们的角色。故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎3．解析：细节理解题。根据第六段“Mr Haldane said the hollowingout experienced in the past years...take advantage of new opportunities.”可知，过去经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此从历史中吸取教训并确保人们能够充分地把握住新的机会是很重要的。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎4．解析：推理判断题。文章多处提到霍尔丹担心新技术革命造成人们失业的现象在未来会越来越严重，由此可知，霍尔丹对于未来的就业形势是担忧的。故选D项。‎ 答案：D B It is estimated that more than half the world's population is bilingual (双语的), and in an increasingly globalizing world, there are obvious benefits of speaking more than one language.However, for many years, parents were advised not to teach their children to speak more than one language from birth.Learning two or more languages simultaneously (同时) was believed to cause confusion and slow down academic development.While it is certainly true that children who are learning to speak more than one language as their mother tongue will often mix the languages up or speak a little later, these are temporary problems, and there is no reason to avoid teaching a child more than one language.‎ In fact, there are plenty of reasons to encourage your child to become bilingual from birth.As well as the obvious benefits of being able to communicate with more people, and the possibility of earning more money, children who speak more than one language have been shown to score more highly in achievement tests at school.This is true for mathematics as well as tests of verbal (言语的) skills.‎ And in later life it has been found that bilinguals, on average, will tend to develop Alzheimer's disease five years later than monolingual speakers.Speaking three or more languages offers even more protection.It seems that the increased number of connections within the brain allows bilinguals to cope better with brain damage.‎ But is it too late if you haven't already learned a second language in childhood? It used to be thought that the adult brain was very fixed, but recent research has shown that we continue to develop new connections in the brain throughout our lives, meaning that it's perfectly possible to learn another language to a high standard.Older learners are less likely to have nativelike pronunciation, but they are better at learning vocabulary as they are able to use far more skills and strategies than children.And learning a language is like using a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets, meaning that you will find your third language easier than your second and so on.‎ ‎5．Why shouldn't parents be discouraged from teaching their children to be a bilingual?‎ A．Children's confusion over two languages will not last long.‎ B．Children will not mistake one language for the other.‎ C．Parents should begin to teach a second language early.‎ D．Parents' guidance will help children tell two languages apart.‎ ‎6．Which of the following is NOT a possible benefit of being a bilingual?‎ A．A bilingual is less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.‎ B．A bilingual child may do well in mathematics at school.‎ C．A bilingual will probably make more money.‎ D．A bilingual child owns relatively good language ability.‎ ‎7．Compared with children, adult language learners .‎ A．are slower at learning a second language B．are more skilled at building vocabulary C．are more likely to acquire a native accent D．are slower at making logic connections ‎8．What can be learned from the passage?‎ A．A bilingual child will speak both the languages badly later in his life.‎ B．Learning a second language certainly contributes to your body fitness.‎ C．Connections within adults' brain will permanently stop developing.‎ D．With each language learned, the learning process will become easier.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　文章论述了学习双语的好处，如延缓阿尔茨海默病的发生，使学习过程变得越来越容易等。‎ ‎5．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“these are temporary problems”可知，孩子因学两种语言而感到困惑的情况不会持续太久，因此家长不应该劝阻他们的孩子学习两种语言，故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎6．解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And in later life it has been found that bilinguals，on average，will tend to develop Alzheimer's disease five years later than monolingual speakers.”可知，双语者比只说一种语言的人可能要晚五年得阿尔茨海默病，但这并不能说明双语者不太可能得阿尔茨海默病，故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎7．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Older learners are less likely to have nativelike pronunciation，but they are better at learning vocabulary as they are able to use far more skills and strategies than children.”可知，年龄较大的学习者不太可能学会像母语使用者一样的发音，但他们会在学习词汇方面做得更好，因为他们 在这方面比儿童更擅长使用技能和策略，故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎8．解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And learning a language is like using a muscle—the more you use it，the stronger it gets，meaning that you will find your third language easier than your second and so on.”可知，学习一门语言就像使用肌肉——你用得越多，它就变得越强壮，这意味着你会发现学习第三语言会比学习第二语言更容易，即随着更多种语言的学习，学习过程将变得越来越容易，故选D项。‎ 答案：D Ⅱ.七选五 You keep your

the state of mind.A recent national health and nutrition survey found that physically active people were half as likely to feel down as others.‎ Exercise and Colds Regular exercise appears to help jumpstart the immune system, thus helping to reduce the number of colds, flu, and other viruses. 4 ‎ ‎ If you're doing intense work hours every day, consider alternating them with walking and upperbody lifting.‎ ‎ 5 ‎ Exercise boosts blood flow to the brain and helps it receive oxygen and nutrients.The better shape you're in, the faster you fire brainwaves that are responsible for quick thinking.So, for example, if maths is a real problem, you may find that daily exercise helps to solve it.‎ A．Exercise and Work B．Exercise and Brainpower C．It can weaken your immunity to colds and other viruses.‎ D．So, girls need to work out daily to stay strong and in shape.‎ E．But are you missing out an important part of a healthier lifestyle?‎ F．Keep in mind, however, that too much exercise

work hours every day，consider alternating them with walking and upperbody lifting.”可知，此处的语境出现了转折，如果每天的工作强度比较大，再做高强度的锻炼反而会适得其反，所以作者建议进行散步之类的强度小的活动，故选F项。‎ 答案：F ‎5．解析：根据本段中的“Exercise boosts blood flow to the brain and helps it receive oxygen and nutrients.”可知，本段的话题是“锻炼和智力的关系”，故B项为最佳小标题。‎ 答案：B Ⅲ.语法填空 In Hebei Province lies a vast forest called Saihanba.This green Great Wall，1. at its peak during the
