Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Tom Belt,a native of Oklahoma,didn’t know the English language until he began school.In his home,conversations took place in Cherokee.Belt grew up riding horses,and after college travelled around the country doing the rodeo(牛仔竞技比赛).Finally,he wound up in North Carolina and married a woman he met at school 20 years earlier.
Yet his wife—also Cherokee—did not speak the language.He soon realized that he was a minority(少数)among his own people.At that time,just 400 or so Cherokee speakers were left in the Eastern Band,the tribe(部落)located in the Cherokee’s historic homeland.Children were no longer learning the language either.“I began to realize the seriousness of the situation,” Belt says.
Belt and other concerned Cherokee speakers in the Eastern Band decided to do something about it.Belt volunteered to teach Cherokee lessons at a local school,for example,and finally the tribe decided to create a language immersion school for children,where main classes—including science and math—are taught in Cherokee.Cherokee language is now also offered at the local university,where Belt teaches.
“Many Cherokee speakers are using technology to do really interesting things that were not imaginable a generation back,” says Mark Turin,a language expert at Yale University.For example,a Cherokee app allows speakers to text in the language’s 85 letters.Some Cherokee sites bring speakers together and provide multimedia teaching tools.
Thanks to the Eastern Band’s efforts,today around 60 of their children can speak Cherokee.Belt,along with many other Cherokee speakers,is not ready to let his language disappear into history—even if the journey towards revitalisation(振兴) is an uphill one.As an elder told Belt years ago:“It’s all well and good that you all want to do this,but remember,it wasn’t taken away overnight,and you’re not going to revitalise it overnight.”
1.What did Tom Belt find out about the Cherokee language?
A.It is taught at only a few schools.
B.It is disliked by many English speakers.
C.It is difficult for children to learn.
D.It is in danger of dying out.
2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Why Cherokee was popular in local schools.
B.How Cherokee speakers saved the language.
C.How Cherokee influenced children’s education.
D.What made Cherokee more well-known to locals.
3.What plays a role in the success the Eastern Band has achieved?
A.Their great imagination.
B.Their special teaching methods.
C.Their use of technology.
D.Their confidence in younger generations.
4.What can we learn from the elder’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Getting Cherokee back is a long journey.
B.Cherokee will disappear slowly.
C.Cherokee might become popular someday.
D.The loss of Cherokee is simply a fact of life.

B
When learning a foreign language,most people fall back on traditional methods:reading,writing,listening and repeating.But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying,you can remember the vocabulary better,even months later.
As Mathias describes,they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days.While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary,they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word.When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesture themselves.Five months later,they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German.Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex—the part of the brain that is responsible for our body movements.The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days,paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures.After two months,the two methods were still tied.But after six months,the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures,while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor component itself that promotes learning.The meaning conveyed by the gesture also figures in.“I think we underuse gestures in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says.“Good teachers and good listeners use it,but not always in a systematic way.Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class—and it could be used more often and more effectively.” 
5.What is the finding of Brian Mathias’ research?
A.Translation helps vocabulary building.
B.Motor cortex interprets body language.
C.Gestures facilitate vocabulary learning.
D.Memory improves with regular practice.
6.What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning?
A.Adults and children are equally efficient learners.
B.Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C.Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D.Benefits of gestures are more evident in adults in the long run.
7.What do the underlined words “figures in” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Makes a deal.　　　B.Plays a part.
C.Takes a chance. D.Gives a warning.
8.What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A.Make better use of gestures.
B.Teach listening in a systematic way.
C.Abandon traditional teaching methods.
D.Do some academic researches on teaching.

参考答案
选择性必修第三册　Unit3
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了俄克拉荷马州的汤姆·贝尔特及其团队为挽救他们部落的母语——切诺基语而做的努力。
1.D　推理判断题。第二段末句的“Ibegantorealizetheseriousnessofthesituation”中的thesituation指上文“Yethiswife—alsoCherokee—didnotspeakthelanguage...Childrenwerenolongerlearningthelanguageeither.”,由此可知,贝尔特意识到这种语言即将消失。
2.B　段落大意题。根据第三段首句“BeltandotherconcernedCherokeespeakersintheEasternBanddecidedtodosomethingaboutit.”可知,贝尔特和关心切诺基语言的切诺基人决定为挽救这种语言而采取行动,其中it指代切诺基语言即将消失这个事情。后面“BeltvolunteeredtoteachCherokeelessonsatalocalschool,forexample,andfinallythetribedecidedtocreatealanguageimmersionschoolforchildren,wheremainclasses—includingscienceandmath—aretaughtinCherokee.Cherokeelanguageisnowalsoofferedatthelocaluniversity,whereBeltteaches.”详细具体地介绍他们做了哪些努力。由此可知,第三段主要讲这些说切诺基语的人是如何挽救这种语言的。
3.C　推理判断题。根据第四段可知,在挽救这种语言的过程中,现代科技例如应用程序和网站起到了很大作用。
4.A　推理判断题。根据文章末句那位老人所说的话“It’sallwellandgoodthatyouallwanttodothis,butremember,itwasn’ttakenawayovernight,andyou’renotgoingtorevitaliseitovernight.”可知,这种语言消失的过程是一个很长的过程,想要使它重新焕发活力也一定是一个漫长的过程。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,人们在学习时通过做手势能更好地记住词汇。文章介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及手势在学习过程中发挥的重要作用。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ButBrianMathias’researchteamfoundoutthatifyougesturewithyourarmswhilestudying,youcanrememberthevocabularybetter,evenmonthslater.”可知,BrianMathias的研究发现做手势有助于词汇记忆。故选C项。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Aftertwomonths,thetwomethodswerestilltied.Butaftersixmonths,theadultsbenefitedmorefromthegesturesthanthepictures,whilethechildrenwerehelpedequallybyboth.”可知,从长远来看,靠手势记单词的好处在成年人中更为明显。故选D项。
7.B　词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Butitisnotonlythemotorcomponentitselfthatpromoteslearning.Themeaningconveyedbythegesturealsofiguresin.”可知,第二句在语义上是第一句的递进,说明手势传递的意义也很重要,起了作用,所以Playsapart与画线词语意思最接近。 
8.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Goodteachersandgoodlistenersuseit,butnotalwaysinasystematicway.Othersdon’tnecessarilybringitintotheclass—anditcouldbeusedmoreoftenandmoreeffectively.”可知,教师应在课堂上更好地使用手势。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在海边遇到一个用双手捧水的小女孩,他帮助了她,把自己的瓶子给她做容器。最后,作者相信自己的善意会从小女孩这里开始得到传递。
1.A　根据上文“forsomequalitytimewithmyself”和下文“wantedaplacetobealone”可推知,作者应该是刚度过了艰难的一周。
2.C　根据句中“wantedaplacetobealone”和“whatIdidinthepast”可推知,作者想要独处、反思。
3.D　根据第二段中的“Sadly,notmuchwaterwasmakingtothemoat.”可知,小女孩想用水装满护城河。
4.B　根据下文“shewouldgotothewaves,　　　herhandsandthenwalkbacktoherlittlecastle”可知,小女孩没有容器可用,只能用手捧水。故选B项。 
5.C　根据上文“Therebeingnocontainer”可推知,没有容器装水,只能把双手窝成杯状去捧水。
6.A　根据“Butshekepttrying”可推知,女孩没有放弃,仍抱有希望。故选A项。
7.D　根据句意可知,尽管作者想帮助她,但他自己也没有带容器,上下文有转折关系。故选D项。
8.A　根据下文“thatIhadabottleofwaterinmybag”可知,作者意识到自己有一瓶水,瓶子可以当作容器。
9.B　根据上文“inmybag”可知,作者需要先把那瓶水从包里面找出来。故选B项。
10.C　根据下文“Ireassuredherthatitwouldmakegettingthewatermuchfaster.”可知,小女孩最初不明白作者的用意,需要作者的解释。故选C项。
11.B　根据“Shefinallytookit”可推知,因为作者的坚持,小女孩最终才接过瓶子。故选B项。
12.A　根据上文“shesmiledbutshookherheadshyly”可知,小女孩很害羞,所以作者不想让她感到难为情,自己离开了。故选A项。
13.D　根据上文可知,作者给了小女孩一个瓶子,在自己看来这只是一件很小的事情,是一个小小的举动。故选D项。
14.C　结合上文可知,作者给了小女孩一个瓶子让她去装水,帮助了小女孩,这是一个不经意的善举,actofkindness意为“善举”。故选C项。
15.D　结合上文和句中“andgiveahand”可推知,小女孩得到作者的帮助,善意将得到传递,当她看到需要帮助的人时,也会站出来,投身到做好事的行列中。
