  (2026 山东临沂二模)Centuries ago, the music of the Hí zaqv language echoed across a territory of rough islands, windswept beaches and thick forests.And then, the lands now in the western reaches of Canada fell quiet.Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of extinction.Today, only seventy fluent speakers remain. In some remote communities, where they don’t have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there.
  Mamakwa is a Hí zaqv, who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school. Last year, he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature (议会). More than 1,000 guests attended. “For community leaders who were there, it was very emotional for them. They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said. Mamakwa is now focusing his attention on the remaining systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land.
  Recently, there is a cheerful sense of hope. Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity. New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including compiling (汇编) vast information from the current fluent speakers. Therefore, Hí zaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before.
  “You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people. But our language is also growing. There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in, and the new way that we live and work and be together. That’s a good thing,” said Mamakwa.

  (2026 安徽芜湖二模)Lots of activities are linked to better brain health in old age. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially beneficial by being intellectually stimulating. In a landmark paper, researchers found that dementia (痴呆) patients who were bilingual (双语的) developed symptoms four years later, on average, than those who weren’t. “We use language in all aspects of daily life, so a bilingual brain is constantly working,” said Mark Antoniou, an associate professor at Western Sydney University.
  However, despite the proven benefits of language learning for brain health, the actual impact of learning a new language later in life on cognitive (认知的) abilities is still a subject of ongoing research with mixed findings. Research by Dr. Antoniou and his colleagues found that while Chinese adults aged 60 and older improved on cognition tests after a six-month language learning program, people who played games like crossword puzzles did as well. Another small study found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn’t see any change in their cognition scores, but those who didn’t take the lessons saw their scores decline. Two recent studies found virtually no difference in cognitive performance after people took part in language-learning programs.
  The scientists who conducted those studies offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers, who may have already been at peak performance for their age, making it hard to see any improvements.
Another is about the language programmes. “The studies looking into the issue have used language lessons that were very different in their length,” said Judith Grossman, a researcher. Some studies involved teaching participants for six months, while others for just one very intense week.
  To Dr. Antoniou, the findings are not entirely surprising. “No one would say that learning a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life,” he said. “Therefore, it’s ideal to get the ball rolling in childhood to maximize its ability to improve cognitive function throughout life.”

5. How does speaking various languages offer benefits?(  )
A. By keeping the brain active.
B. By relieving mental symptoms.
C. By improving one’s intelligence.
D. By increasing language fluency.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句以及最后一句可知,经常 说多种语言通过刺激智力来让大脑不断工作,也就是让大脑保持活跃 来提供益处。

6. What do the studies show about language learning in paragraph 2? (  )
A. It doesn’t show consistent cognitive improvement.
B. It is more effective than playing crossword puzzles.
C. It prevents the decline of old people’s mental health.
D. It fails to bring any cognitive benefit to older Italians.

解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Research by Dr. Antoniou and his colleagues found ... in cognitive performance after people took part in language-learning programs.可推知,语言学习对认知的 改善并不一致。
7. Why did the results in some language-learning studies turn out disappointing?(  )
A. Researchers used outdated teaching materials.
B. Volunteers were already at their age’s cognitive peak.
C. The language courses focused on irrelevant vocabulary.
D. Participants lacked motivation to learn a new language.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,一些语言学习研究 结果令人失望的一个原因是参与者是积极性很高的志愿者,他们可能 已经达到了其年龄的认知巅峰,所以很难看到任何改善。

8. What might be Antoniou’s suggestion?(  )
A. Examining scientific findings critically.
B. Finding more ways to enhance cognition.
C. Studying a new language from an early age.
D. Learning essential skills throughout childhood.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Antoniou认为学习六个 月新语言和一生使用两种语言的效果是不一样的,所以理想的是在童 年时期就开始学习语言,以最大限度地提高其在一生中改善认知功能 的能力。由此推知,Antoniou建议从小学习一门新语言。
