when i 4 german at universityloving many german writers in translation, i wanted to read them in their 5 tongue, and thats been my main 6 for learning new ones since. once i got german, i was 7;french, latin, greek and sanskrit quickly followed. the idea of having a 8 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 9 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. by my 20s, id set my heart on 10 the rest of my life to learning as many as i could.im often asked what the 11 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. the truth is that its down to endless hours of 12reading, studying and practicing grammar. 13, all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and ever-increasing numbers of great works become 14.its hard, but the 15 can be

always been an optimist and i suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.for as long as i can remember, ive loved learning new things and solving problems. so when i sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, i was hooked. it was a clunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today. but it changed my life.when my friend paul allen and i started microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of “a computer on every desk and in every home”, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. but we believed that personal computers would change the world. and they have.and after 30 years, im still as inspired by computers as i was back in seventh grade.i believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventivenessto help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldnt solve on their own.computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the worlds knowledge. theyre helping us build communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.like my friend warren buffett, i feel particularly lucky to do something every day that i love to do. he calls it “tap-dancing to work”. my job at microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me “tap-dance to work” is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetimes worth of photos, and they say, “i didnt know you could do that with a pc!”but for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. there are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.i believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. my wife, melinda, and i have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.as a father, i believe that the death of a child in africa is no less poignant or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else, and that it doesnt take much to make an immense difference in these childrens lives.im still very much an optimist, and i believe that progress on even the worlds toughest problems is possibleand its happening every day. were seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.im excited by the possibilities i see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. and i believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, were going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.fueling our creativityoutlinesupporting detailsbeing enthusiastic7 , i believe the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world better.an old teletype machine, which made me 8 in the computer, changed my life.9 what sounded crazy, paul allen and i dreamt of there being a computer

languages可知,作者的父亲掌握多种语言,可以在与人交谈时自如地转换语言。故选b项。2.b父亲的能力给作者留下了很深的印象,但是他并不鼓励我以他为榜样。threaten威胁;encourage鼓励;promise允诺;trust信任。父亲自己擅长多种语言,但是没有鼓励孩子也一定要这样。encourage sb. to do sth.鼓励某人做某事,符合语境。故选b项。3.d作者不是一个天生的语言学习者。sensitive敏感的;average平均的;individual个体的;natural天赋的,天生具有某种能力的。故选d项。4.a当作者在大学开始学习德语的时候,事情有了改观。take on承担,雇用;put down放下,记下;make up编造,弥补;go over仔细检查。take on表示“承担”时相当于accept,符合题意,故选a项。5.c作者很喜欢很多德国作家的翻译作品,所以他想读他们用母语写的作品。simple简单的;sharp尖利的,尖锐的;native本国的,本族的;polite有礼貌的。native tongue本族语,母语,符合句意。故选c项。6.d那也是作者从此开始学习新语言的主要动力。advantage优势;appreciation感激,欣赏;foundation基础;motivation动力,动机。故选d项。7.d一旦作者懂了德语,他就上瘾了。接着他又学习了法语、拉丁语、希腊语和梵语。shocked震惊的;relieved宽慰的;depressed沮丧的;hooked着迷的,上瘾的。从学德语开始,作者接二连三地学习了多种语言,可见作者对学语言着了迷。故选d项。8.a对世界有个全面了解的想法一直让作者深深着迷。comprehensive全面的;historical历史的;scientific科学的;skeptical怀疑的。作者学习多种语言就是要全面了解世界。故选a项。9.d学会语言似乎是实现这一点(全面了解世界)的好方法。speak说;select挑选;imitate模仿;acquire获得,学到,acquire languages学会语言,符合句意。故选d项。10.b到作者二十多岁的时候,他已经下定决心要毕生致力于学习尽可能多的语言。四个备选项都可与介词to搭配。adjust.to.调整,适应;devote.to.致力于,投入;reduce.to.减少到,沦落到;attach.to.附到之上。根据语境可知应选b项。11.a经常有人问作者(学语言的)秘诀是什么,是否有些人有理解单词和短语的天赋。secret秘密,秘诀;purpose目的;benefit利益;puzzle谜,难题。根据and后面的whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases可知,人们关心的是学习语言的秘诀。故选a项。12.c真相就是无数个小时的专注阅读、学习和练习语法。expectation期望;admiration钦佩;concentration专注;evaluation评价。学习语言时,无论是阅读、学习,还是练习语法,都需要长时间的专注。故选c项。13.a逐渐地,所有这些美妙的语言开始进入焦点(变得清晰)。gradually逐渐地;suddenly突然地;regularly有规律地;usually通常。对语言的理解并不是突然发生的,而是在学习的过程中逐渐变得清晰,故选a项。14.b越来越多的伟大作品变得容易理解了。affordable负担得起的;accessible可接近的,易懂的;invisible看不见的;assessable可估价的。当语言开始变得清晰,作者也就能够理解更多的作品。accessible通常表示“可到达的,可接近的”,也可以指“(事物)易懂的,(人)易相处的”。故选b项。15.d学习语言很难,但是回报是令人兴奋的。circle圆圈;beginning开始;option选择;reward报酬,奖赏。此句为该段的主题句,根据后面的when i started studying spanish, there was a moment.等内容可知,虽然学习语言的过程辛苦,但是回报丰厚。故选d项。16.a当作者开始学西班牙语时,有那么一刻,这种鲜活的语言突然就将自己展现在他面前。reveal显示,展现;explain解释;limit限制;recommend推荐。作者在学习语言的过程中,有了顿悟的感觉,就好像语言自己展现在他面前。reveal

complex conversations可知,应是谈话中的沟通交流。故选c项。20.darbitrary武断的;objective客观的;considerate体贴的;confident自信的。作者从一个没有语言学习天赋的人成长为一个懂得多种语言的人,这使他更加自信。故选d项。.任务型阅读语篇解读作者一直都是一个乐观主义者,他认为这根植于自己的信念,即创造力和智慧的力量可以让世界变得更美好。本文作者论述的是“如何推动我们的创造力”。7.optimistically根据第一段ive always been an optimist and i suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.中的optimist可知,我乐观地认为,创造力和智慧的力量可以让世界变得更美好。此处副词修饰整个句子,故答案为oerested根据第二段中的so when i sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, i was hooked. it was a clunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today. but it changed my life.可知,一台老式的电传打字机,让我对电脑产生了兴趣,改变了我的生活。故答案为interested。9.despite根据第三段中的when my friend paul allen and i started microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of “a computer on every desk and in every home”, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators.可知,尽管听起来很疯狂,paul allen和我都梦想着能让每个人都有一台电脑。故答案为despite。10.affection根据第四段and after 30 years, im still as inspired by computers as i was back in seventh grade.可知,30年来,我仍然对电脑有很深的感情。故答案为affection。11.achievement/satisfaction根据第七段中的my job at microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me “tap-dance to work” is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetimes worth of photos.可知,我很幸运能在微软做一些有挑战性的事情,
