Ⅲ.任務型閱讀
請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。
注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。
There are a number of languages spoken throughout the world.Every person knows at least one language，which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing.However，many people are fond of learning two or more languages，so they try to be bilingual，which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages.And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects.For example：
A person can get cognitive(認知的) benefits from it.The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object.Therefore，a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking.The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation.So they are more sensitive(敏感的) to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language.Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person's mental development.Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character.The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages.It increases a sense of self-esteem(自尊)．Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.
A bilingual education offers better curriculum results.The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests.The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three，four or more languages.
Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits.It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields.The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport，tourism，public relations，marketing and sales，banking，translation，law，teaching and so on.
So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.

課時作業(二十五)
Ⅰ.1.D as if to see＝as if he was to see。
2．D be set in 意為“以……為背景”；once published＝once it is published，是省略用法，it與publish是被動關系。
3．B 此題考查短語意思及用法。get down to doing sth.＝set out to do sth. 著手做某事；set off 動身；set up 建立。
4．D desire后可跟復合賓語，其補足語用不定式短語。suggest可構成suggest one's doing，suggest that…或It is suggested that…結構，不可構成suggest sb. to do sth.結構； hope可構成hope to do sth.，hope that…或It's hoped that…結構，不可構成hope sb. to do sth.結構。
5．D hold 意為“容納”，符合句意。
6．A 考查省略句。所填部分作應答句的方式狀語，因主從句的主語一致，都是the workers，因此可以將從句的主語和謂語中的助動詞、系動詞或情態動詞省略，而且從句謂語動詞tell與主語workers是被動關系，故選A。
7．B 由句意“我沒有看到過比這更好的”，知應選better。
8．B 句意為：公司決定在財務部雇用一名新職員，在辦公室辭退兩名職員。take on 呈現，雇用某人，承擔；take up 拿起，占據；take over接管；take off脫衣，起飛。
9．D 考查時態與省略句。由前面is supposed to…soon可知應用一般將來時。will是will make his visit的省略，即“我不知道他是否會來俱樂部”。
10．B 考查介詞。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is not easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此題了。answer后接賓語時要用介詞to。
11．D 考查介詞。have sth. in common with sb. 與某人有共同點；dance to 跟著樂曲跳舞。
12．C 考查情態動詞。dare作情態動詞，此處為它的過去式。
13．B 考查名詞辨析。人們都說開公司很容易，可是實際情況并非如此。這里用reality表示“現實”與前面呼應：實際情況不一樣。
14．A 考查動詞時態的用法。句意為“你為什么這么著急？我的電腦癱瘓了，我的論文沒完成。”，由此可以得知謂語動詞應該用現在完成時，essay作主語，是被動語態。而恰巧動詞是leave，leave作“使”講，其用法是leave sth. undone，名詞和過去分詞之間是被動關系，故選A。
15．C 此處that引導的賓語從句作demands的賓語，故從句中用“(should)＋動詞原形”表虛擬，故選C。
Ⅱ.16.B 從上下文可知Glennie的不想讓別人的看法(the opinions of others)左右自己成為音樂家的理想。conditions條件；actions行動；recommendations推薦。
17．C Glennie 8歲開始學習鋼琴。take lessons上課，固定短語。
18．B 從下文可知，Glennie聽覺(hearing)逐漸失去，直到12歲時完全失聰(completely deaf)。
19．D 神經損傷(the nerve damage)是Glennie失去聽覺的主要原因(cause)。evidence證據；result結果；excuse借口。
20．A “我對音樂的愛從來沒有離開過我。”根據句意，所以選A leave sb.離開某人，B項excite sb.令人激動，C項accompany sb.陪伴某人，D項disappoint sb.令某人失望，不正確。
21．D 考查名詞辨析。goal(人生的)目標；purpose目的；decision決定；promise許諾。
22．B “我學會了‘聽’(learn to hear)音樂。”turn to轉向(某人尋求幫助)；used to 過去常常(做某事)；ought to應該做(某事)。
23．A 考查動詞詞義辨析，tell 辨別；see看到；hear聽到；smell聞到。句意為：通過振動來辨別音調的高低。根據句意選A。
24．C 根據句意，為了分辨音調的高低，除了通過身體對振動的感覺，還可以通過我的想象(imagination)。因為Glennie以前沒有失聰過，所以不會有experience(經驗)，而carefulness(細心)和身體的movement(運動)對聾人來說是無法分辨音調高低的。
25．A “我只有通過調動全部的感覺(sense)器官”才能彌補失聰的遺憾來感受周圍世界。定語從句I have修飾“我”所擁有的…… sense 感覺，effort努力，feeling感情，idea 想法，只有A項符合句意。
26．C Glennie下定決心(be determined to do)要被別人評價為一名音樂家，而不是一名聾人音樂家。dissatisfied不滿意的； astonished驚訝的；discouraged氣餒的。A、B、D都是Glennie對別人評價的反應，而Glennie這時實際上還沒有成名，所以不可能有這些感覺。
27．A “以前沒有失聰學生做過(done)這件事(applied to the Royal Academy of Music)”。accept接受；advise建議；admit承認。根據句意，A項正確。
28．D 因為以前沒有錄取過失聰學生，所以一些老師反對(oppose)Glennie進入the Royal Academy of Music。
29．B 由于Glennie的表現，最終(finally)被錄取。
