Last week, the 1. title (题目) of an article—“Neither Pine 2. nor Apple in Pineapple” caught my eyes. After 3. reading (read) the article, the unique and 4. creative (create) views made me realize that even the 5. smallest (small) words can be rather 6. confusing (confuse). If the real meanings of the words 7. based (base) on the context can't 8. be recognized (recognize) by us, they'll 9. reflect (显示) totally odd and even 10. opposing (oppose) meanings, 11. which may cause 12. errors (错误) and negative impacts, and finally lead to misadventure. For example, someone 13. contacted (contact) you to ask for getting back to his apartment because he had 14. a frog in his throat. It does not likely mean that he ate a big frog which got 15. stuck (stick) in his throat, but that he caught a cold. 16. Actually (actual), when we e across (偶遇) some familiar words, their real meanings may be unfamiliar to us. Therefore, whether in formal or informal writing and speaking, we should understand the real meanings based on the 18. context (语境).

(2025·广西一模)
Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception (感知) of melody, but at the cost of rhythm, researchers report in Current Biology.The massive global study hints at how language skills seep into other areas of cognition.Tonal (声调的) languages use pitch to distinguish words that otherwise might sound the same.In Mandarin, for instance, mǎ means horse whereas mā means mother.Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word's meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and flutist, Liu Jingxuan wandered about the crossover between language and music.While studying psychology as an undergraduate at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries.Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs' rhythms.
On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 non tonal languages.And the effect wasn't small—a tonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed.But tonal language speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to.Pitch patterns are vital in tonal languages, which might explain the musical trade off.“You've got a finite resource of attention, and you've got to allocate that somehow，” says study co author Courtney Hilton，a cognitive scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Cantonese or Mandarin.But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results.By examining a wide range of people, the new study includes languages never assessed in this way and reaches more general conclusions.“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks—which is an important part of culture—also shapes cognition，” Hilton says.
语篇导读：本文主要介绍了带有音调的语言可以提高母语者的旋律感知能力，但是也会在一定程度上降低他们的节奏感。
1．What do the underlined words “seep into” in the first paragraph mean
A.Enter gradually.
B．Control constantly.
C．Damage slightly.
D．Understand completely.
解析：A　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception(感知) of melody”可知，说需要音调的母语似乎可以增强对旋律的感知。再根据画线词所在句“The massive global study hints at how language skills seep into other areas of cognition.”可知，此处表示大规模的全球研究揭示语言技能对认知的其他领域的影响，即语言技能是如何渗透到认知的其他领域。由此可推知，画线短语意为“渗透”，A项为其同义表达。故选A。
2．What information can we get from the musical tasks of Liu Jingxuan's colleagues
A．Tonal languages determine our music abilities.
B．Tonal first languages can take the place of music lessons.
C．Tonal language speakers perform better in the rhythm tasks.
D．Tonal languages help native speakers to better acquire melody.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 non tonal languages.And the effect wasn't small—a tonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed.”可知，带有音调的语言有助于母语者更好地掌握旋律。故选D。
3．Which of the following statements does Courtney Hilton most agree with
A．The musical trade off enhances human cognition.
B．The musical abilities boost human perception of melody.
C．A limited span of attention accounts for human musical trade off.
D．English and Cantonese or Mandarin affect human musical abilities.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“You've got a finite resource of attention, and you've got to allocate that somehow”可推知，考特尼·希尔顿可能会认同有限的注意力跨度解释了人类在音乐上的权衡。故选C。
4．What is the text mainly about
A．Native language influences human culture.
B．Native language might shape musical ability.
C．Native language is an important part of culture.
D．Native language enhances human melodic perception.
解析：B　主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception of melody, but at the cost of rhythm...”可知，文章在首段提出一项研究：带有音调的语言可以提高母语者的旋律感知能力，但在一定程度上降低他们的节奏感。下文详细介绍了该研究方法与结果，故本文主要介绍了母语可能塑造音乐能力。故选B。

(2025·湖北省七市州调测)
Every morning on the island of Oahu, students at Pū‘ōhala Elementary gather on a field as towering mountains watch them from the mist.Their day starts with songs in‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, the islands' native language, restating values of respect and justice that their teachers hope will guide them through their education, and throughout their lives.
Like most kids of their age, they're not concerned about the significance of the language they're learning.Still, they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and insure the security of‘ōlelo Hawai‘i for future generations.
It was only 50 years ago that the language was on the edge of extinction.Though the situation has much improved, in many ways‘ōlelo Hawai‘i is still on life support.Teachers say there's a huge enthusiasm for school kids to learn the language, but as they grow up, they're encouraged to focus on “more useful” subjects and use English, which is believed to assist them in achieving success in their work.In 2016, there were 18，610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.
“One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe，” says Solomon, a professor of Hawaiian language at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.“The idea is that there are enough people passing it on to the next generation, socializing their children to use the language in all domains of life, to express all thoughts and needs and desires.”
Fortunately, the kids of Pū‘ōhala Elementary will take the responsibility to continue the work of the current young adults defending the language, expanding access to‘ōlelo Hawai‘i in part through social media platforms, and making the language a practical skill in adulthood.These youth, along with those committed to recovering the language from previous generations, share their hopes for the better.
语篇导读：本文主要介绍为了传承夏威夷语言，教师带领孩子们学习当地语言，并在生活中使用该语言，以便更好地传承本族文化。

D．To draw people's attention to folk songs.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch(火炬) and insure the security of ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i for future generations”可知，该校学生承担传承夏威夷当地语言的重任。故选C。
6．What makes the students abandon‘ōlelo Hawai‘i
A．Career development.
B．The improved situation.
C．Lack of enthusiasm.
D．Little educational support.

7．What is the current situation of ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i according to Professor Solomon
A．It is used in all walks of life.
B．It is considered a safe language.
C．It demands more speakers to be safe.
D．It has one hundred thousand speakers.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2016, there were 18，610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.”及第四段中的“One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe”可知，目前夏威夷语言的使用者远达不到安全数量100，000，因此需要有更多使用者才能确保该语言的安全。故选C。
8．What is the author's attitude towards the future of ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i
A．Worried. B．Hopeful.
C．Unclear. D．Reserved.
解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fortunately, ...take the responsibility to continue the work...expanding access to ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i...making the language a practical skill in adulthood.These youth, along with...share their hopes for the better.”可知，作者肯定了目前人们保护夏威夷语言的努力，对夏威夷语言的未来持积极乐观的态度。故选B。
