　　注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

　　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(认知的) 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 self­esteem(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.

　　课时作业(二十五)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　as if to see＝as if he was to see。

　　2．D　be set in 意为“以……为背景”；once published＝once it is published，是省略用法，it与publish是被动关系。

　　3．B　此题考查短语意思及用法。get down to doing sth.＝set out to do sth. 着手做某事；set off 动身；set up 建立。

　　4．D　desire后可跟复合宾语，其补足语用不定式短语。suggest可构成suggest one's doing，suggest that…或It is suggested that…结构，不可构成suggest sb. to do sth.结构； hope可构成hope to do sth.，hope that…或It's hoped that…结构，不可构成hope sb. to do sth.结构。

　　5．D　hold 意为“容纳”，符合句意。

　　6．A　考查省略句。所填部分作应答句的方式状语，因主从句的主语一致，都是the workers，因此可以将从句的主语和谓语中的助动词、系动词或情态动词省略，而且从句谓语动词tell与主语workers是被动关系，故选A。

　　7．B　由句意“我没有看到过比这更好的”，知应选better。

　　8．B　句意为：公司决定在财务部雇用一名新职员，在办公室辞退两名职员。take on 呈现，雇用某人，承担；take up 拿起，占据；take over接管；take off脱衣，起飞。

　　9．D　考查时态与省略句。由前面is supposed to…soon可知应用一般将来时。will是will make his visit的省略，即“我不知道他是否会来俱乐部”。

　　10．B　考查介词。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is not easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此题了。answer后接宾语时要用介词to。

　　11．D　 考查介词。have sth. in common with sb. 与某人有共同点；dance to 跟着乐曲跳舞。

　　12．C　考查情态动词。dare作情态动词，此处为它的过去式。

　　13．B　考查名词辨析。人们都说开公司很容易，可是实际情况并非如此。这里用reality表示“现实”与前面呼应：实际情况不一样。

　　14．A　考查动词时态的用法。句意为“你为什么这么着急？我的电脑瘫痪了，我的论文没完成。”，由此可以得知谓语动词应该用现在完成时，essay作主语，是被动语态。而恰巧动词是leave，leave作“使”讲，其用法是leave sth. undone，名词和过去分词之间是被动关系，故选A。

　　15．C　此处that引导的宾语从句作demands的宾语，故从句中用“(should)＋动词原形”表虚拟，故选C。

　　Ⅱ.16.B　从上下文可知Glennie的不想让别人的看法(the opinions of others)左右自己成为音乐家的理想。conditions条件；actions行动；recommendations推荐。

　　17．C　Glennie 8岁开始学习钢琴。take lessons上课，固定短语。

　　18．B　从下文可知，Glennie听觉(hearing)逐渐失去，直到12岁时完全失聪(completely deaf)。

　　19．D　神经损伤(the nerve damage)是Glennie失去听觉的主要原因(cause)。evidence证据；result结果；excuse借口。

　　20．A　“我对音乐的爱从来没有离开过我。”根据句意，所以选A leave sb.离开某人，B项excite sb.令人激动，C项accompany sb.陪伴某人，D项disappoint sb.令某人失望，不正确。

　　21．D　考查名词辨析。goal(人生的)目标；purpose目的；decision决定；promise许诺。

　　22．B　“我学会了‘听’(learn to hear)音乐。”turn to转向(某人寻求帮助)；used to 过去常常(做某事)；ought to应该做(某事)。

　　23．A　考查动词词义辨析，tell 辨别；see看到；hear听到；smell闻到。句意为：通过振动来辨别音调的高低。根据句意选A。

　　24．C　根据句意，为了分辨音调的高低，除了通过身体对振动的感觉，还可以通过我的想象(imagination)。因为Glennie以前没有失聪过，所以不会有experience(经验)，而carefulness(细心)和身体的movement(运动)对聋人来说是无法分辨音调高低的。

　　25．A　“我只有通过调动全部的感觉(sense)器官”才能弥补失聪的遗憾来感受周围世界。定语从句I have修饰“我”所拥有的…… sense 感觉，effort努力，feeling感情，idea 想法，只有A项符合句意。

　　26．C　Glennie下定决心(be determined to do)要被别人评价为一名音乐家，而不是一名聋人音乐家。dissatisfied不满意的； astonished惊讶的；discouraged气馁的。A、B、D都是Glennie对别人评价的反应，而Glennie这时实际上还没有成名，所以不可能有这些感觉。

　　27．A　“以前没有失聪学生做过(done)这件事(applied to the Royal Academy of Music)”。accept接受；advise建议；admit承认。根据句意，A项正确。

　　28．D　因为以前没有录取过失聪学生，所以一些老师反对(oppose)Glennie进入the Royal Academy of Music。

　　29．B　由于Glennie的表现，最终(finally)被录取。

　　30．C　以最高的荣誉从the Royal Academy of Music毕业(graduate)。

　　31．A　write musical compositions作曲。

　　32．D　自己作曲的原因是很少有人(few)专门为打击乐器独奏演员作曲。

　　33．B　尽管医生认为Glennie完全聋了，但并不意味着她的热情被忽视了。although引导让步状语从句。从语意判断，B项最佳。

　　34．A　mean意味着；conclude下结论。

　　35．D　Glennie根据自己的切身体会告诫人们：不要被别人这样那样的说法所禁锢(limit)。

　　Ⅲ.36.Advantages/Benefits　37.Meaning/Concept/Definition

　　38．creatively　39.needs/demands　40.Character

　　41．self­esteem　42.perform/do　43.Employment/Career

　　44．chances/opportunities　45.Conclusion
