【语篇解读】本文为议论文,开篇点题:
英语对话往往从天气开始。
后面具体的介绍几个对此有不同理解的人以及他们的观点。
1.D推理判断题。
文章第一句话提到:
众所周知,英语的对话往往从天气开始。
然后举例说明,显然举例的目的就是表明英语的对话往往从天气开始,故D项正确。
2.B词义猜测题。
由语境可知,Bill认为因为英国天气一点儿也不令人兴奋,所以用它对话时表达出来的难以理解。
兴奋应是与人的情感状态有关,故B项正确。
3.D细节理解题。
由文章第三段中间位置的“Theinterestisnotinthephenomenathemselves,butinuncertainty.”可知D项正确。
4.A主旨大意题。
文章主要讲述英语对话以天气开始的一些事情,故A项正确。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,通过一位新移民及其儿子的经历讲述了掌握两门语言的好处。
5.A细节理解题。
由第四段可以看出老师让家长去办公室是谈论Scola的课堂表现。
故选A项。
6.D词义猜测题。
由上文“我的儿子不能跟上老师的指导”,因此Scola在扰乱课堂,故选D项,disturb打扰,扰乱。
7.C推理判断题。
由文章最后两段,特别是倒数第二段最后一句Andhehasbenefitedfrombeingbilingual.可知作者对于双语持积极肯定的态度,故选C项。
8.B推理判断题。
本文讲述了掌握双语的好处,所以可能出自一本关于教育的书。

9.D推理判断题。
从第一段的...GeorgeWashingtonwroteinhisdiaryin1785...和ButthefatherofAmericawasnotthefatherofbug.WhenWashingtonwrotethat,Englishmenhad...可知,英国人和美国人都使用“bug”一词,由该段最后一句可知,英国人在19世纪和20世纪便不再使用,故D项为正确答案。
10.D词义猜测题。
从第四段的In1878heexplainedbugsas“littleproblemsanddifficulties...”可知答案。
11.B主旨大意题。
纵观全文可知,本文主要说的是“bug”一词的使用时间及其发展,故B项为本题答案。
